BMC Democrats And Republicans
Organize New Clubs On Campus

Young Republicans Band
And Enter BMC Politics

‘Philadelphia’s stiff mayoralty
race promises to be fought almost
as bitterly on the Bryn Mawr cam-
pus as in the city itself. The cause
for the newly roused passions and
fervent politics? The determina-
tion of a newly formed faction not
to let the Young Democrats, long-
standing at B.M.(C., go unrivalled
any longer.

Encouraged by the activities re-
ported by the Haverford Young Re-
publican Club, Bryn Mawr College
Republicans have finally rallied to
the call and have organized their
own political organization.

The first meeting resulted in the
appointment of Martha Thomas as
temporary chairman and the reali-

zation that a great deal of work
is yet to be done.

Philadelphia Politics
Discussed By Democrats

Mrs. Lois Forer, deputy Attor-
ney General of Pennsylvania and
lecturer at the University of Penn-
ssylvania law school, spoke on the
current Philadelphia mayoralty
campaign last night in the Com-
mon Room. She was presented un-
der the auspices of the informally
organized Young Democratic. Club
of the Alliance. This group is also
holding a meeting tonight to dis-
cuss the part that students can
play in the campaign.

Observing that inaction is a
form of action, and that those who
fail to fulfill their political respon-
siblities must be answerable for
the results, Mrs. Forer termed the
process of self government a great
human achievement.

She noted that an increasingly
aware electorate is showing intelli-
gence in voting not only according
to party but with other considera-
tions in mind. Since no one candi-
date can reflect every precise view
of any party, there is generally
“compromise” support of a choice



need of an increased and enthusi-
astic membership. Plans have al
ready been formed to offer the’
Club’s assistance to the Longstreth!
campaign.

Office work, field work, loudspeak-
er announcing and other campaign’
practices, probably done in co-oper-!
ation. with Young Republican
Clubs of other colleges, promise to!
bring the November mayoralty'
race close to home. Anyone inter-
ested in campaigning or in just be-
ing a good solid Republican should
contact Martha Thomas in Den-.

who best exemplifies these ‘views:

Numerous issues are not a fac-
tor in the mayoralty campaign, in
which Democrat Richardson Dil-
worth faces Republican Thatcher
Longstreth. There are no clear-
cut issues concerning taxes, “good
government”, or the city charter.
. Dilworth promises to continue
the trend from corruption to prog-
ress with which he became identi-
fied nine years ago; Longstreth
promises essentially the same
thing. Mrs. Forer sees as impor-
tant the fact twat Dilworth has the

American Council On Education Elects -

Katharine McBride Its New Chairman

Miss Katharine McBride, Presi-
dent of Bryn Mawr, was elected
Chairman of the American Coun-
cil on Education at the annual con-
vention in Washington.

President McBride is the first
woman to head the Council since
Miss Virginia Gildersleeve, then
dean of Barnard College, was elect-
ed in 1926.

The American Council on Edu-
eation is the highest educational
association in the country. Since
its founding in 1918 the Council
has been a center of cooperation and
coordination for the improvement
of education at all levels, with par-
ticular emphasis on higher educa-
tion,

The Council describes itself as
“a clearinghouse for the exchange
of information and opinion; it has
conducted many scientific inquiries
and investigations into specific
educational problems; it has stim-
ulated experimental activities by
institutions and groups of institu-
tions; it has kept in constant
touch with pending legislation af-
fecting educational matters; it has

College Year Begins
With Largest
Enrollment

Bryn Mawr College began .its
71st academic year October 4 with
a total enrollment-of 794 graduate
and undergraduate students, the
-argest in the history of the Col-
lege.

In her address at the opening as-
sembly in Goodhart Hall, President
atharine MoBride announced an
increase of 20 per cent in the regis-
tration of men and women in the
Jraduate School. ee

Supply Short of Demand

“The upturn in graduate enroll-
ment which is occurring in many
institutions this fall,” said Miss
McBride, “should soon make avail-
able more teachers and other high-
ly qualified personnel. All indica-
tions are, however, that the supply
will fall short of the demand for
some time to come.’

Miss McBride also. discussed ote
significance to the academic world
of the Geneva Conference on the
Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy ’
held this past summer. “This,” she
said, “underscored the rapidity. of
the progress in atomic fields. The
universities, industry, government
are concentrating personnel and
funds on these developments—de-
velopments likely to be of such
magnitude that they will bring in
a new era.

“If the changes in the conditions
of: men’s lives,” Miss McBride went
on to say, “are to be so great and
so far-reaching, then it is of first
importance that the universities
and colleges should also set high
priorities on dévelopments in other
fields of thought — philosophical,
historical, literary. This is the old
task of the university; but it be-
comes far more crucial fér the uni-
versities and colleges of the pres-
ent, and precisely because for.com-
pelling reasons every effort will be ~-
made to press forward scientific
and technological developments.

Humanistic Advance

“Scientific advances,” Miss Mc-
Bride said, “unless balanced.by ad-
vances, in these humanistic fields
would in a fundamental sense mean
that man had lost rather than
gained in his control of the condi-
tions of his life.”

‘Miss McBride also announced
the appointment of two guest lec-
turers for the coming year. Dr.
Jean Seznec, Marshal Foch Pro-
fessor of French Literature at Ox-
ford University, will hold the Mary
Flexner Lectureship, and Dr. Jacob
Viner, Professor of Economics and
International Finance at Princeton
University, will be the Anna How-
ard Shaw Lecturer.

Other appointments to the fac-
ulty include that of Dr. Henry Joel
Cadbury as Visiting Professor of
Religion. Dr. Cadbury, a Trustee
of the College, is chairman of the
board of the American Friends Ser-
vice Committee. Emmett L. Ben-
nett, Jr., of Yale University and
now at the Institute for Advanced
Study in Princeton, will join the
faculty as Visiting Lecturer in
Greek. Dean Thomas Edison Mc-
Mullin of the School of Education

This Is Next Year

Hurrah for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Champions of. the
World! Hurrah for the Brooklyn fans, including those for
' whom Oct. 4, 1955, marked not the opening of Bryn Mawr’s
‘Tist academic year, but rather the day the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers won their first world’s championship.

For the first time in the history of our national pastime,
the Dodger fan need not raise his desperate cry of “Wait Til

Next Year!”

For the first time he need not roar defiance at

the experts and the Yankee fans, armed with baseball stand-
ings and statistics. No longer need the Dodger fan fight his
team’s battles alone, while the team itself trails along behind
him. The Dodgers have finally proved themselves as good as
their fans always knew they were.

There were some who said that Brooklyn’s first world

championship was inevitable.

_ But those who have followed

the Dodgers through some of the most extraordinary epi-
sodes in baseball history know that there is nothing inevitable

about Brooklyn baseball.

The Dodgers won not because they

were fated to do so, but because they performed magnificent-
ly—with great skill and high courage.

And so, in 1955, Brooklyn’s first World Championship—
an event not to be toasted today and filed away tomorrow,
but rather one to be talked about, savored, and cherished by
Dodger fans everywhere for a long, long time to come.

Class Business

: The question of lagging class spirit and the consequent
lagging attendance at class meetings seems to be perenially
wth us, and is currently undergoing a long-needed reapprais-

al.

Despite all attempts to enforce attendance, it has become
increasingly difficult to gather the numerical “quorum” nec-
' essary to carry out the business of the day, whether it be an

election or a vote on class dues.

The result has been that

meetings are scheduled and réscheduled; those who attend
the first meeting are called upon to attend a second, perhaps
even a third, before the issue can be put to it and “legally”
decided. This procedure delays the completion of class busi-
ness and, in addition, is a source of increasing annoyance both

to those who freely attend the meetings and those who are
unwilling to participate, yet are pressured into doing so.

A motion was recently introduced at a meeting of the
senior class which we feel is a necessary expedient, and, at
the same time, the only democratic solution to the present
dilemma. This motion provides that each announcement of
a class meeting include the business to be discussed at that
meeting. Anyone in the class who is interested is urged to
_ attend. Those who do attend, if less than the regular quo-
rum may, if they feel their number to be sufficient, vote
themselves a quorum and act iti the capacity of the entire

class to decide the business, and only that business, which



has-been scheduled and announced. -
We believe that this motion is fair, realistic and demo-

cratic. ‘Those who refuse to attend a meeting tacitly agree

to abide by the decision of those who do attend.
everyone ought to feel a responsibility toward the class and

Ideally,

an obligation to be a voting member of it. However, we can-
not deny the fact that any individual has the right to abro-
gate this responsibility if he wishes to do so. It seems unwise

to force a disinterested voter to arbitrarily express an opin-

ion in the hopes that the law of averages will cancel these

votes.

It is not compulsory to vote for the President of the
United States, althoygh a decision by a low percentage of the
etienarnte: is Brie sin ey often rather unpleasant. - But it

From The Balcony

by RUTH RASCH







The Chalk Garden

“TIME: The Present. PLACE:
A room in a manor house. Sussex,
England. SOIL: Lime and Chalk,”
reads the program for Enid Bag-
nold’s. new play, “The Chalk Gar-
den.” In this English manor house
che gardens are starving in chalk
as is the juvenile Laurel without
love.

Siobhan McKenna, as Miss Ma-
drigal, a newly-hired companion
for the girl, instructs the charac-
ters in the fertilization of the gar-
den, and the rearing of an adoles-
zent. It is her performance which
.ends meaning and feeling to what
starts out as an overly wordy play.

Withdrawn and yet exposed to
the audience, Miss McKenna plays
a mature person with properly con-
tained emotions. In the last act
reticence is cast off and Miss Ma-
drigal’s fiery convictions surround
the character with a spotlight of
her own integrity.

This performance is accompanied
in the play (which opened.at the
Walnut Theatre Oct. 10) with uni-
formly fine acting by the rest of
the cast.

The blundering guardian of
plants and child before Miss Madri-
gal’s coming was the grandmother
—Mrs. St. Maugham—played by
Gladys Cooper. As an upper class
British woman attempting to be
original, and succeeding only in
being completely heedless of the
people around her, Miss Cooper
does a wonderful job. Bringing out
the humor, she still keeps Mrs. St.
Maugham, as a person, from be-
coming ridiculous.

The play is not quite as com-
pletely written as it is acted. The
first act seems to be a slightly
over-extended and talky introduc-
tion to the social masks of the

players. In the second and third

acts, as these masks are gradually
removed, the play acquires speed,
strength, and meaning. Then, too,
the dialogue carries the added bite

of conviction and all the charac-
ters fele ormerly contained
(and ‘thus “partially hidden) feel-

ings.

Even the characterization of
Miss Madrigal seems to be with
purpose. Suspense develops in her
concealment of her background.
The slight glimmering of her past
history is brought out in a way
which ig properly partial and thus
always alluring. The lack. of such
development in the characters of
the grandmother and Laurel is
what makes the first act somewhat
slow, though the last two acts of
this generally excellent play more
than overcome this beginning.

Deirdie Owens plays Laurel, the
adolescent, with conviction, looking
at all times appropriate in the part
of a sixteen-year-old, and acting
with the proper degree of affected-
ness.

Marian Seldes, as her mother,
Olivia, succeeds in looking both at-
tractive and properly pregnant, but
of all the actors she is the least
effective. The part is played in a
low key and at times Miss Seldes
seems almost indifferent to the
things that are happening around
her.

The only two male members of
the cast, Fritz Weaver as the man
servant, and Percy Waram as the
judge, are both excellent. Mr.‘
Weaver has a large and difficult
part which he plays with convic-
tion.

The last act with its harsh con-
demnation, both of the British ju-
dicial system and of Mrs. St.
Maugham, brings the play and

characters to a fitting and impor-|

tant climax.

Mine Boy by Peter Abrahams

Mine Boy is, primarily, the story
of a South African native who
comes to Johannesburg to work.
It is an effective novel largely be-
cause it maintains throughout an
excellent balance among atmos-
phere, character development and
the often tediously inevitable the-
orizing of a novel of “social con-
sciousness”.

During the course of the book,
Xuma, the protagonist, learns
about Johannesburg, which is two
vities, one of white and one of
black; about the mines, where he
works as “boss boy” or native lead-
er of a mine gang; about infatua-
tion and about love; about people
and about life. Mine Boy is bas-

ically a study of the maturation t

of an individual.

Passive Acceptance




at is immediately striking
abowt “social conditions” in.a South
African city is that the natives pas-
sively accept their slum dwellings,
poverty, brawling and bootlegging.
The natives are so complete-
ly segregated, downtrodden and
inured to their lot that they either
know nothing of the living condi-
tions of their more fortunate white
neighbors or, if they are aware of
these better conditions they believe
it is foolish to aspire to them.

| Black is-black and white is white,

they say; there is~ a basic differ-
ence between the two races which

it would be wrong, if not imposs-
ible to change. ss

And in a sense, they are right.
Right, in that by believing thus,
they are protecting themselves
against the additional misery of
aspiring to things which they can-
not possibly expect to achieve.

Eliza, Xuma’s first love, is edu-
cated: and therdfore dissatisfied.
Her misery at the injustice of so-

Letter To The Editor

Coyne Needs Students
For Norristown Group
To\the Editor:

This is written for the benefit of
the students of Bryn Mawr College
who have one afternoon of the
week free and who would be will-
ing to donate that time to the peo-
ple of Norristown State Hospital.

As I have said to some of you
before, I think of this as the rich
giving to the poor. We at Bryn
Mawr have some of the finest edu-
cational advantages possible while
the people at Norristown have very

few. It seems only fitting that we
give some of ourselves to them if
only once a month. Often their
only outside exercise during - the
winter is when college girls take '
them walking and often we are
their only outside contacts. And
another matter is the young girls
who have few or no educational
advantages. If there are enough of
you interested, there is the possi-
bility of arranging some classes,
perhaps once a month, in which we
could teach them something con-
structive.

Those of you who would like to
join the walking group and have
not contacted me already, I would
appreciate your sending me a note
in campus mail with your name,
hall, and free afternoons. I espe-
cially appeal to those of you who
know the sad conditions in most
state mental institutions. This
work may seem rather insignifi-
cant to many, but I have noticed it

B. M. Summer Camp Teaches Sports,
Arts & Crafts, Swimming To Campers

Another successful season is re-
ported by the Bryn Mawr Summer
Camp, held each year on the New
Jersey coast. Joan Parker was
this year’s director,

Nineteen children, aged 6 to 12,
attended the first session, and 17
were present for the second.

Betsy Nelson, waterfront head
and Joan’s assistant, taught 16 of
the first group and 15 of the second
to swim while at camp. “It was
remarkable,” said Joan. “None of
them knew how to swim when
they came.”

Chapel services, in the form of
a modified Friends meeting, were
held every morning. The children
participated in each service.

At various times during the sum-
mer Miss McBride, Mrs. Marshall
and Miss Howe visited the camp.

Each year the camp is given
$3500 by League to cover its ex-
penses, This year the director
was able to return one-third of that
amount, as no unforeseen expens-
es arose.

Other counselors at the camp
were Ginny Stewart, Mary Knauth
and Patty Page, arts and crafts;

Foreign Film Hits

Alec Guiness is coming to Bryn
Mawr, through the courtesy of the
A.jA. President Betsy Dugdale
announcéd that Lavendar Hill Mob
and Kind Hearts and Coronets
were among the six films to be
shown at Bryn Mawr by the Ath-
letic Association.

Lavendar Hill Mob is scheduled
for Fri., Oct. 21, the first night
of Junior Show Weekend.

Kind Hearts and Coronets is
scheduled for Fri., Jan. 20, the last
day of classes of Semester 1.

Four more foreign films will be
shown by the A.A. during the year.

“Generally,” ‘Betsy explained,
“these films would each cost $55.
But if six or more films are sched-
uled, the cost drops to $35 per
film.” a



Editorials Praise

Addition to Park

Bryn (Mawr’s proposed $1,600,000
science center received a good deal
of favorable editorial comment
from local newspapers during the
summer.

The Philadelphia Inquirer noted
that “Shortages of scientists ade-
quately trained to undertake basic
research, as indicated by Dr. Kath-
arine E. McBride, president of the
college, are growing increasingly
serious. In fact, teachers of sci-
ence are in such short supply that
the eduvation of future scientists
is endangered.

Hurricane Damage

Repaired by BMC

Students sitting at home during,
the summer listening to reports of
hurricane damage in Pennsylvania
were probably quite unaware that
the disaster was affecting their
school. The facts show that hurri-
cane “Diane” caused damage of an
estimated twelve :to..eighteen thou-
sand dollars to Bryn Mawr.

Two all-weather tennis courts
were ruined; a hole was made in
the retaining wall at the end of
the hockey field; and five feet of
Water flooded the power house,
which cut off power to the college
for two weeks,

The repair work has not yet been
completed. A retaining wall .is
being built by the tennis courts to
prevent the same thing happening
again, And a drainage tunnel-is
being constructed under the Low
Buildings and out to Roberts Road.

‘55 Yearbook Due
On Campus Shortly

“The Case of the Missing Year-
book,” which has’ puzzled many a
super sleuth, from S. Holmes to
J. Friday, seems well on its way to
solution.

Bryn Mawrters will no longer
find it necessary to phone their
lawyers to discuss proposed suits
against the Class of ’55, which, for
a while, seemed to have “skipped
town” with a large number of
yearbook subscriptions.

Anxious subscribers, whether
concerned about never having a
picture of the senior next door, or
perhaps about their $4.75 (perish
the thought), will find their qualms
disappearing within the next few
days. Publication of the ’55 year-
book, which was to have taken
place last June, was delayed by an
extended printers’ strike over the
summer. Recent letters received
from Liz Klupt, ’55 editor, and
from the publisher, state that the
yearbooks have been sent out this
past week. Bryn Mawrters are urg-
ed to check at home if their order
has not been received at college.

Choral Group to Give
Several Conéerts’ “’’
During Year

the Bryn Mawr Chorus, and the of-
ficers of the group, are devising
plans for an interesting series of
concerts.

The first of these will be the tra-
ditional Christmas concert with
Haverford College, which will take
place Sunday, Dec. 11, at Bryn
Mawr, and Monday, Dec. 12, at
Haverford. Another concert with
Haverford is planned for Feb. 25.

The big concert of the year will
take place here Apr. 28, when the
‘Bryn Mawr Chorus will .combine
with the Williams College singing
group. Among other numbers, they
will introduce a new work by the
Viennese composer, Hans Gal. This
number, arranged for
voices and strings, is rather intri-
cate,.according to Mr. Goodale, and
should prove quite stimulating for
performers and audience.

Later in the spring, a concert
will be given in conjungea with
Muhlenberg College, at Allentown,
Pa. The date for this has not yet
oeen decided.

During spring
Goodale plans to spend two or
three days traveling through New
England with the double octette.
This idea, however, is still in a
tentative stage.

Besides these concerts, the Chor-
us provides vocal music for the

College Theater Plans

First Production
‘Much Ado’

Bryn Mawr College Theatre is
busy with freshman hall plays and
its plans. for the first production
of the season, “Much Ado About
Nothing,” directed by Robert But-
man.

Mr. Butman, appointed a mem-
ber of the. Bryn Mawr-Haverford
faculty this year, teaches playwrit-
ing and production here as. well as
a course at Haverford. Tryouts
for “Much Ado,” open only to up-
perclassmen, will take place during
the week of Oct. 17.

The play will be given in Good-
hart Dec. 8, the Saturday. of Un-
dergrad weekend. The freshman
hall plays, which are being worked
on (for no more than ten hours)
by the freshmen of each hall and
their upperclass advisors will be
unfolded in Skinner on Friday and
Saturday nights.

Freshmen and _ upperclassmen
are invited to stage production
classes, on Saturday mornings, be-
ginning in the middle of October.
These classes are conducted by
members of the College Theatre.

Resumption of WBMC
Year Features
Variety

The year will start officially for
WBMC Oct. 16 when programs,
originating in Pem East’s base-
ment, will be beamed to both Pem-
brokes, Rock and Denbigh. The
radio station is broadcasting five
days a week, Sunday through
Thursgay.

There is much familiar in the
schedule this year. Classical and
popular disc jockey shows will take
up much of the broadcasting time
with a special show, “Misery Loves
Company,” at 7:30 am. The Wed-
nesday night discussion program,
“Your Right To Say It,” will be
continued this year, moderated by
Ellie Silverman.

Elizabeth Thomas, director of
the station, is particularly excited
about one new sponsor, Mademoi-
selle magazine. Presenting the 8
p.m. programs on Monday, Tues-

day, Wednesday, and Thursday, the
magazine will offer listeners free

Lucrative Venture

A net profit of $4179.94 was
realized on last spring’s faculty
production, “Profs in the Pud-
ding.” This includes two anony-
mous gifts of $1000 and $50 from
former members of the faculty.

Through Miss Lang, the faculty
has expressed the pleasure which
it gave them to have attained their
goal, a substantial contribution to
the new science building. .Over the
summer Miss Lang received a let-
‘ter from Mrs. Delanoy, co-chair-
man of the Resources Committee
of the College, commending the
It was gratifying, said Mrs. De-
lanoy, to see the unity with which

the college will give an impetus to
the alumnae committee’s drive to
raise funds for the new building
outside the college.

Orchestra to Expand
Activities, Says
Dickerman

An expansion of musical activi-
ties on campus is in the air for this
year, according to Eleanor Dicker-
man, co-president of the Bryn
Mawr-Haverford Orchestra. Along
with the usual. concerts under Dr.
Reese’s direction, a series of stu-
dent recitals is being planned, for
participation not just by Orchestra
members but by anyone interested
who can sing or play an instru-
mbént.

The recitals, featuring soloists
and instrumental or vocal ensem-
bles, will be given bi-weekly, at 5
p.m. on Sunday in one of the rooms
in Goodhart. “Everybody is invit-
ed,” Ellie says, “to hear or be
heard. The recitals will be very in-
formal. They are intended for ev-
eryone’s enjoyment, including the
performer’s, and will not be in any
sense a test of skill. So if you
know even one or two pieces that
you would like to share with the

please feel free to come to me in
Rock or to Cornelia Starks in Mer-
ion and talk about it.”

The Orchestra also has its eye
on the Cloisters Saturday nights
(when the library is closed) as the
ideal place for chamber ensemble
programs before it gets cold
and/or in the spring, but Ellie does
not know yet whether this is a pos-
sibility.

Orchestra Complete

The Orchestra itself is already
complete, with one rehearsal be-
hind it and plans for a concert in
April and perhaps one this semes-
ter. Ellie, who is entering her sec-
ond term as co-president, has high
hopes for a good year.

‘““We were delighted to find that
the class of ’59 has a great deal of
musical talent to offer,” she said,
and added a plea for student sup-
port of all the Orchestra activities:
“If your roommate’s shy exterior
conceals operatic talents (or may-
be a good repertoire of ballads), or

if you know somebody who trudges
down to a Goodhart practice room
every afternoon, urge her to take
part in the recitals. We _ think
they’re going to be a lot of worth-.
while fun for everybody con-
cerned.”

“We hope to have the other two

Why do more college

men and women smoke

VICEROYS

than any other
filter cigarette?







Because only Viceroy
gives you 20,000 filter traps”
in every filter tip, made
from a pure natural substance
found in delicious fruits

and other edibles!

Yes, only Viceroy has this filter composed of 20,000 tiny
@ filter traps. You cannot obtain the same filtering action

in any other cigarette.

2.

The Viceroy filter wasn’t just whipped up and rushed to
market to meet the new and skyrocketing demand for fil-

tered cigarettes. Viceroy: pioneered. Started research move

than 20 years ago to create the pure and perfect filter.

Pd

Smokers en masse report that filtered Viceroys have a

33. finer flavor even than cigarettes without filters. Rich,
satisfying, yet pleasantly mild.

4 Viceroy draws so easily that you wouldn’t know, without
@ (ooking, that it even had a filter tip . . . and Viceroys cost
only a penny or two more than cigarettes without filters!

That’s why more college men and women smoke VICEROYS than
any other filter cigarette . . . that’s why VICEROY is the largest-
selling filter cigarette in the world!

What salary does a college girl
make her first year on the job?
Bryn Mawr College asked this
question of its 1954 graduates who
have been working since receiving
their Bachelor of Arts degree.

Of the class, which numbered
119, 64 are in jobs and 37 are tak-
ing further training. Those in jobs
are receiving a median salary of
$2900. One-third of the group is
getting $3000 or more.

The yearly salary earned by the
1954 A.B. who went into govern-
ment or business ranges from
62100 to $3640. Teaching, which
nearly 15 per cent of the class
chose as their profession, paid sal-
aries ranging from $1700, for an
assistant, to $3000 for iden a
teacher. Highest salaries were paid
to the young women who went into
government, magazine publishing,
television production, merchandis-
ing and social work.

B. M. C. Reports On Salaries Received
By ‘54 Grads In First Year On Job

Bryn Mawr graduates are also
working in hospital and industrial
laboratories, libraries, museums,
and in the offices of press services,
‘foundations, insurance and _ utility
companies.

Of a group of 19 who entered
graduate schools for further study,
ten were the recipients of fellow-
ships or other grants which paid
tuition fees, a living stipend and,
{n:cases where travel to other coun-
tries was involved, transportation.
In the group of 37 taking’further
training, four were enrolled in
medica] schools and four in law
schools in large universities.

The Bureau of Recommendations
reports that beginning salaries of-

Mawr are slightly higher than
\those ofa year ago, in line with
‘the upward trend in the national



job picture.

God’s Word Not

especially contributed
by: Sallyann Burgess

Andre Trocme, the French paci-
fist who recently returned from
Algiers where he worked with the
problems of French-Arab rioting,
spoke yesterday in the Common
Room. His book, The Politics of
Repentence is now ‘in the Chapel
Committee Meditation Room avail-
able to those who would like to
pursue his ideas on non-violent ac-
tion.

Trocme deals simply and-con- |
vincingly with the serioys“subjects
of war and conscientious objection,
citing Ghandi as the example of
one who could save lives without
destroying life. He advocates world
government and urges that we
choose between “U.N. and Soviet
proposals for reorganization of the
world. We cannot remain neutral

”

Clearly he states the positions
of East and West on the Korean
issue, declaring that no political
system is the embodiment of the’
truth. “Each one contains a certain
truth. The choice between the
truths rests finally with the indi-
vidual,” «

His book delves into an analysis
of what is truth, decrying the so-
cial-economic theory that society
creates its own truth, but warning
that the Western world, while pre-
tending to follow eternal truth,
may. only be defending the status
quo.

The Church comes under his crit-
icism for appeasing the world with
rationalized religion. “The word of
God is not logical. It is double,
paradoxical, in-form. His impera-
tives are not fixed; they vary ac-
cording to circumstances.” VFinal-

Pacifist Trocme Cites Three Reasons
Logical: Trocme For Terror, Repression in North Africa

“The two World Wars have de-
strdyed the confidence that the
Moslems had in the white man,”
said Andre Trocme, French paci-
fist. “The Moslems are no longer
willing to be commanded becaust
they bélieve we are ‘unworthy to be

their masters.”

M. Trocme spoke on “Terror and
Repression in North Africa” at a
meeting in the Common Room yes-
terday. He has just returned from
-a month in Algiers, living within
the Moslem Quarter in an effort to
practice the principles of the In-
ternational Fellowship of Recon-
ciliation amidst the French-Arab
rioting.

M. Trocme cited three reasons
for the failure of the white man in
North Africa. ©

The first of these is the failure
of free enterprise, which atthough
successful in the. United States, for
example, does not succeed in an
antiquated country. The French
have transformed North Africa
into a reasonably prosperous coun-
try ,“but it is a texture superim-
posed on Africa,” explained M.
Trocme. He suggested that’ North
Africa, with its prosperous whites
and destitute natives is
house with two levels and no stair-
case connecting them.”

The second reason for failure is
white paternalism. Paternalism,
instead of leading, creates an in-
feriority complex or a “subservient
feeling” among the Moslems, M.
Trocme feels.

This feeling of inferiority im-
posed by the white man has finally

flared into, an open resentment.
The Arabs Yee that they would

—

rather remain\poor, if they could





ly, Trecme points out, “There are
no Christian politics; but the re-
pentence of Christians and the

change of conduct that springs
from it can profoundly modify the
course of political events.”

man.

“A deep waking within the coun-

try itself,” a counterpart to the
Rennaissance in Europe, is .what
is needed in 'Africa, M. Trocme
feels. ‘
The third failureis that of
Christianity. Moslems are not con-
verted easily to Christianity, and
the Christians themselves have
been identified with wealth and
force.

The solution to the crisis in
North Africa is definitely not
French- withdrawal, M. Trocme
feels. The Arabs are “medieval,”
and it is naive to think that if all
control over them were ended, de-
mocracy and freedom would flour-
ish.

M. Trocme believes that the so-
lution is for whtie men to go to
Africa “simply as friends, even if
only for a short time.” Living with
and teaching the Arabs may create
“a desire for imitation; which may
lead to the Arabs taking their own
destiny in their own hands.” Then
only may the French withdraw.

Patty Gilmartin Spends Month As
A Guest Editor For Mademoiselle

In spite of her reputation for
keeping the worst hours in the
nall, Patty Gilmartin, ’56, was
chosen by Mademoiselle magazine
as Guest Health and Beauty Edi-
tor. After spending a month with
Mademoiselle, Patty, who had nev-
er worked’with fashions or beauty
before, is seriously considering en-
tering the field after graduation
next June,

On the basis of the assignments
she wrote as try-outs and her in-
terviews with editors, Patty was
assigned to write copy for the
beauty and health department. But
the work itself was only one part
of her month with the magazine.

Among. her other engagements
were lunch with the president of
the Mary Chess Perfume Company,
cocktails with Helena Rubinstein,
and an interview with Ogden Nash
(who proved as amusing and infor-
mal in person as he is in his unfor-
‘vyettable poems).

With the other 19 members of
the College Board’ staff;-Patty was
taken on tours of I. Miller Shoes,
Associated Furs (where she was
presented with a fur piece), Had-
ley Sweaters, and the Helena Rub-
instein salon. One of the more in-
teresting pieces of “loot” she re-
ceived was a black watch plaid
brassiere given to her by Warner’s.

Visits and meetings with com-
pany officials provided more than
an education for the College Board,
however. The girls were also ex-
pected to give the manufacturers
an idea of what the college girl is
likely to ‘buy. :

In addition to these activities,
Patty was sent to Maine on a spe-
cial assignment: she stayed at
Elizabeth Arden’s “Maine Chance,”

Petitions and Straw Ballots Proposed
To Supplement Nominating Committee

The revision of the present Bryn
Mawr election system was one of
the topics discussed at last night’s
meeting of the College Council.

The present method, whereby
preliminary slates of candidates
are selected by a Nominating Com-
mittee, consisting of a delegate
from .each class (except seniors)
and each hall, has been a source
of increasing criticism in the past
two years.

It -has been claimed that the
process is undemocratic, that the
reports prepared on the candidates
are monotonous and _ insufficient,
and that the Committee is forced
to devote too much time to the
business of elections, too much in
fact even to be justified if the sys-
tem were considered perfect in ev-
ery other respect.

During the summer, Kit Masella
and Weezie Simpson attempted to
work out another system of nom-
ination. Kit. suggested the possi-
bility of a petition system.

Dodie Stimpson attended an
NSA Conference, at which there
were general discussions of, student
governments, and found that Mills
College, a woman’s college about
the same size as Bryn Mawr, tried
a petition system, but found it
awkward. They then adopted a
system of straw ballot nomination.

In “straw balloting,” the class
from which the officer is to be
elected is presented with a class
list and a mimeographed sheet list-
ing all of the offices to be filled.
Hach member of the class is then
asked to select four candidates for
each job. The results are tallied
and either four or eight nominees
are chosen to run for each office.

The Undergraduate Council has
been wondering if the college
would be interested in such a sys-
tem, in view of the fact that it
would eliminate arbitrary selec-
tions by the nominating committee
and also give that committee less
work to do. With a straw ballot
system, the Nominating Commit-

tee, if it continued at all, would
probably just compile reports on
the final candidates for each posi-
ion.

It has also been suggested that
the nominating committee be com-
pletely abandoned, and that the
students running for an office an-
swer questions about their ideas
about their organization. In the
ease of Undergrad and Self Gov.,
the candidates might discuss the-
gretical problems at an open meet-
ing.

Kit Masella and her committee
are stil] studying the ramifications
of each of the proposed plans. If
any of them seem to be feasible,
shey may be brought before the
Legislature later this year.

link, head of Bryn Mawr’s archae-
ology department, was contacted,
and in due time the sarcophagus
arrived on campus.

It has been placed at: the north-
east corner of the library, in front
of the Deanery parking lot.

Translated, the Latin inscription
on the sarcophagus reads:

“Julia, daughter of Caius
Mamaea
lived thirty years.”

The surname, Mamaea, denotes
one of those whom the Roman Em-
peror Alexander Severus, adopted,
provided for and named in honor
of his mother, Julia Mamaea.

The word sarcophagus comes
from the Greek, meaning “eating
flesh.” According to Webster’s
dictionary it is “fa species of lime-
stone used among the Greeks for
making coffins. It soon consumed
the flesh of.bodies deposited in it.”
Sarcophagus now commonly means
any stone coffin or coffin-shaped
memorial stone.

Mrs. Forer commented, obversely
“government is too complex and

reason for electing the sincerely in-

inexperienced, opponent. To prove

To Become Chicago

Gilbert F. White, the present
head of Haverford College, has

submitted his resignation to the’

trustees of the school, effective
Jan. 1. Mr. White is returning to
the University of Chicago, where
he will assume the post of profes-
sor of geography.

Keeping up an active interest
and participation in the field of

-| geography, Mr. White has decided

to ngturn to teaching instead of
continuing administrative work.

A committee appointed to pick
his successor, headed by Jonathan
E. Rhoads, has just’ released the
listing of qualifications for a new
president. A letter, sent to the
alumni of Haverford College, con-
tained the following requirements:

“The president of Haverford Col-
lege must be a man of genuine in-
tegrity—in thought, in. utterance,
and in actions—with, .fine, intellec-
tual and spiritual insights. He
should be in fundamental sym-
pathy with the principles of. the
Society of Friends, though not nec-
essarily a member of the Society,
and dedicated to the proposition

Faculty Member

| that the future course of a young
man depends not only on the
knowledge and the processes of
thinking which he learns, but also
on the direction and intensity of
his motivation. He should, there-
fore, have the gift of inspiring stu-
dents to as great a degree as pos-
sible. He should be a man of schol-
arship in his own right and one
who will stimulate and aid the fac-
ulty constantly to freshen and
strengthen the educational pro-
gram of the college.”

The committee felt that the new

president had a special job to per-
form, to “seek to build the college
in the postwar eza into an essen-
tially Quaker institution — one
where the things of the spirit are
inculeated as well as those of the
intellect; where simplicity, loyalty,
integrity, moral courage, the spir-
it of service and social vision go
hand in hand with scholarship and
| physical fitness... .”

'ery two weeks, but it is possible
that a president will not have been
chosen” by Jan. 1. :
