Arts Council to Sponsor Talented
Ambitious Arts Night In Skinner
by Gretchen Jessup
Arts Night is something about
which I personally can never help
but become most enthusiastic. But
it is. an event which in the past
has never been as good as it could
be. However, Arts Night is, as an
idea, something quite special. This
year with the sponsorship of the
Arts’ Council and with simply a
greater spontaneous student inter-
est, it should be a performance, in
terms of improved quality and
content, quite different from pre-
vious years.
Arts Night provides a chance
for those who are interested to see
what is going on around Bryn
Mawr in the... way..of..crigina},
drama, dance, and music; and a
chance for those who. want to]
perform, who. want to display their
respective talents—singing, acting,
painting stage sets, composing—
before an audience to do so. For
both of these groups, Arts Night
is a very good chance to meet on
the common ground of perform-
ance, entertainment, and critical
appreciation.
From a strictly production point
of view, too, Arts Night is for
everyone. It steps outside the
sometimes rigid boundaries of
habit, class and club for its partic-
ipants and asks that anyone
who is interested in music or pub-
licity, stage crew or comic parody,
verse drama or descriptive dancé,
to come work and contribute to
it. The requirement this year is
only that the performance be as
good as students can make it. And
this is a very good thing to work
for, we feel, and a satisfying one;
by the way of corollary: the more
people who help with Arts Night,

Bryn Mawr, Hood
Here In 4-College
Girls Take Honors
‘Sports Play Day’
Exciting moment during Play Day!
On Saturday, March 2, Bryn
Mawr played host to Hood, Gouch-
er and Barnard Colleges at a
Sports Play Day. Hood carried off
the honors in the swimming and
basketball matches while Bryn
Mawr won the fencing and bad-
minton events.
Basketball
by Kitty Stoddert
The resplendent white, blue,
green, and gold tunics of the var-
ious basketball teams filled the
‘gym throughout t of the morn-
afternoon, grudgingly
giving place only to the embattled
badminton players. At the end of
= day, Hood emerged as the un-
‘peat-| ic
en Bryn Mawr, 16 ro 14;. Goucher,
17 to 8, and Barnard, 21 to 3. The
Hood team combined. -accurate
shooting with quick passing and
fast moving, and early in every
game established a lead over the
less exuberant opposing players.
The efficient and unperturbed
Goucher placed second in the com-
petition, topping Brwn Mawr, 10
to 8, and Barnard 13 to 8.
Bryn Mawr’s: performance how-
ever, disappointed most of her
fans. The first game against Hood.
was rather badly played and it was
felt that the Goucher game could
have been wen with just a little
more effort. But Bryn Mawr, al-
ways slow to get started, played
best in the last. and easiest game,
that with Barnard, and won 16
to 8
The Barnard team, handicapped
by extreme inaccuracy in shooting, | |
tried to make up for this deficiency
by playing with great determina-
tion. Unfortunately, as the Bryn
Mawr varsity has also learned by
bitter experience, spirit will not
replace points lost through unsatis-
factory “skills” and Barnard suffer-
ed defeat in every game.
Miss Schmidt Also Stars
The real heroine of the day was
Miss Schmidt, who refereed all the
basketball games. A bad cold’ not-
withstanding, she valiantly raced
jup_and down the gym, —as—long-—
looping passes whizzed from one
end of the court to the other. Her
endurance was a shining example
to the less hardy players who lay
gasping at the end of every short
quarter.
More important than the actual
scores of these games was the gen-
eral feeling of the . participants
that this basketball tournament
was fun. Enjoyment, rather than
competition, was the keynote of
the Play Day, and its great suc-
cess can in part be traced to the
fact that the girls from ‘all four
colleges were friends instead of
opponents by the ve. of the after-|
noon.

Hold Scholarships
Bryn Mawr awarded $139,385.00
in scholarship aid to its undergrad-
uates this year. Mrs. Dorothy Nep-
reported last week that 181 stu-
dents were receiving grants to pay
for tuition-and other expenses.
' The scholarships are. shared by
42 freshmen, which is approxi-
mately one-quarter of the class.
Among the holders are winners of
the National Merit Awards, the
Procter and Gamble Scholarship,
and the Lillia Babbitt Hyde Foun-
dation Scholarship in Science. Two
upperclassmen hold awards under
the General Motors Scholarship
Plan.
Over 68% of the group are re-
ceiving scholarships in the amount
of $500.00 or over, with an average
grant of $770.50 per student. The
tuition fee for the College is
$850.00
The College provided about 40%
of the assistance to the students,
Mrs. Marshall said, with alumnae
business and industry, professional
group and individual donors mak-
ing up the balance.
Mrs. Marshall also reported that
in a survey made of all under-
graduates last year, about 50%
reported holding paid jobs during
the academic term, with total earn-
ings of $24,000.00.

BMC Will Receive
Yearly Poetry Prize
Bryn Mawr College has been
chosen by the Board of Directors
of the Academy of American Poets
as one of ten universities and col-
leges to which a $100 poetry prize
to be known as the Academy of
American Poets Poetry Pfize will
be awarded ape ig
Ten institutions a year will each
receive the Prize. Bryn Mawr was
chosen for “representing one of
the outstanding institutions in the
country which does much to en-
courage interest in poetry.”
The plan of the Academy is to
have the English Department of
the college administer the con-
test itself, or with a committee of
judges, to select the poet who has
written the best poem or group of
poems submitted during the year.
It has not yet been decided whether

whether it will include full time
graduate students as well.
It is hoped that the contest will
start at once so that the first win-
ner this year would be selected by
Commencement time.

His to recognize and reward poets
of proven merit with Fellowship
awards or prizes of $5,000. A group
of 12 Chancellors selects the poets
to be honored. Recipients of the
$5,000 Fellowships in past years,
have been Edwin Markham, Edgar

Clarification Necessary
Nothing concerned with the Bryn Mawr curriculum and
academic structure has more mystery connected with it than
does that shadowy something known as the “comp confer-
ence”. It is a phenomenon familiar only to the seniors, who,
rhen questioned about. it, murmur only. to th® seniors, who
tion for comprehensive exams before rushing off to the lib-
rary to confer for.a.couple of hours pehind closed doors. The
number: of hours spent in comp conferences, the amount of
ducting the sessions vary from department to department
so that the person desirous of information gets conflicting
reports.
Generally speaking, the comp conference is designed to
prepare the student for the three final comprehensive exam-
inations in her major subject, exam requirements being dif-
Preparation usually takes the.
form of assigned reading or other work designed to supple-
ment knowledge already gained from regular courses in the
major field. Methods of conducting the conferences differ—
sometimes one professor is in charge of the conferences for
a semester while in other departments, professors may alter-
nate sessions. Because policy differs with each department,
students are confused about the function and form of comp
conferences. -
We feel that steps should be taken to clarify the part
which the comp conferences play in the student’s senior year.
This clarification is especially urgent for the benefit of the
juniors, but it is also necessary to let students in all classes
know wh: t to expect in their senior year. We are not advo-
cating a policy of unity among the departments in their comp
conference set-up, but rather a policy of clarification of the
aims and methods of each department. We feel that each
department should hold a meeting for the benefit of junior
and prospective majors in which its particular comp con-
ference method is explained, as has been done by some de-
partments in the past. This would enable students to see
the college curriculum in its entirety and eliminate doubts
about what happens in senior comp conferences.
The Age Of Cant
A penetrating analysis of today’s education was pre-
sented by Dr. Robert Hutchins, of the Fund for the Republic,
at an intercollegiate conference on “The Character of the
Present Generation” at Sarah Lawrence March 2.
To Dr. Hutchins, this is an “age of cant”, an “age of pub-
lic relations” in which the problem is to look good, not be
remarks about “cant” in reference to education are partic-
ularly significant io all students who should be aware that the
true purpose of education is at present under a cloud.
The aim of education is not, as Dr. Hutchins pointed out,
to prepare the student to win quiz shows, nor to accommodate
young people until they-go to work, nor to produce the “‘whole
the businessman or football player. The best practical edu-
cation, noted Dr. Hutchins, may be the most theoretical one,
that although the facts of life may change, the theories

From The Balcony
Le Misanthrope
by Helene Valabregue
Moliere’s Le Misanthrope has
ben the subject of violent disputes
for nearly three hundred years:
does Moliere identify himself with
Alceste, Philinte, both, or neither?
Is Alceste more tragic than he is
comic? Is the play not too phi-
losophical and devoid of action to
be considered real theatre? ‘The
play’s greatness lies in this very
quality of being “all things to all
men” and in the endless variety
of nuances of interpretation which
it allows.
We were very fortunate to have
the opportunity, Monday night, of
seeing the company of Madeleine
Renaud. and Jean-Louis Barrault
produce Le Misanthrope in Roberts
Hall at Haverford. This was the
company’s last performance in this
country and Monsieur Barrault
prefaced the performance with a
charming and gracious speech ded-
icating it to the “spirit of child-
hood” incarnated by Moliere, a
spirit in which youth is the test-
ing period,and to the friendship
of the United States and France.
Technical and Artistic Aspects
The troup’s adaptation to the
limited space of the Haverford
stage was a feat in itself. The
ayers must have had to do a con-
siderable amount of reblocking, as
the stage was certainly smaller
'. . “The present task of educators is to figure out the pur-
pose of education and interpret it to the public”, aid Dr. Hut-
chins. The aim of a university or college should be that of
veaching its students to lead lives of significance and to fos-
ter independence of thought.
Perhaps all this does not sound new to Bryn Mawr which
seems to believe as strongly as Dr. Hutchins in the value of
pure liberal arts. education... Yet how many of its stu-
dents really view their liberal education, received here, as an
lege as the beginning, rather than the end, of their intellec-
tual careers? How many succumb to the “spirit of cant”,
and lament that a major in philosophy will not be useful in
4n advertising agency? How many are trying to be inde-
pendent in their thoughts, instead of falling back upon con-
formity, more out of laziness than out of fear? Dr. Hutchins
change of attitude towards education on
than what they are used to. ~~ Tie)
stage effects were not complicated,
but gave an air of authenticity to
the setting.
Despite the limited facilities of
the Haverford stage, the perform-
ance was technically as well as
artistically superb. The comic as-
pect of the play was brought out
to an extent I had not. imagined
possible from my readings of it.
The two “petit aiarquis”, in their
almost too - ridiculous costumes,
played the part of extravagant
dandies to perfection, complete.
with affected gestures and lavish
flourishes of their beplumed hats.
One of them, Acaste, also succeed-
ed admirably in conveying a real
: of the general public. Perhaps it is time for the
ecific student to do the same. tk 3
“person, silly perhaps, but under-
neath»the affectation, naive and
very human.
Excellence of Minor Roles
The excellence of the minor roles
in general was an outstanding
feature of the performance. Pierre
Bertin’s rendering of Oronte—
“homme au sonnet”, the pompous,
pretentious “literary man”, full of
self-importance and vain insincer-
ity, was delightfully comic, and
true to character. Philinte, the
“raisonneur”, portrayed by Jean
Desailly, provided a striking con-
trast to Alceste’s outbursts of bile
with his placid good-naturednass,
although those. who consider him
Moliere’s mouthpiece must have
ben disappointed by his lack of
vigour and comparative ineffectu-
ality next to Barrault’s eloquent
rendering of Alceste’s demands for
sincerity.
‘Natalie Nerval, stiff and haughty
as Arsinoe, the prude, caught the
spirit of this frustrated, petty old
maid. Her make-up was particu-
larly good, and the scene between
her and Celimene in its superb
contrast of the rancorous old maid
and the flippant, witty young co-
quette, was one of the most artis-
tically refined and elegant scenes
I have ever seen on stage, The
only disappointing minor character
was Eliante, who, despite her
charming delivery of the speech
on lovers’ pblindnesses to their
adored one’s faults, was on the

Students Describe Their Varied Summer Job Experiences
Dalmer Tells of Scientific Summer:
lllustrating Hom Own Experiences
by Barbara Ann Palmer ’5
Summer jobs in the field of sci-
ence are not always easy to find.
Many industrial _ companies. are
hesistant to hire students who have
not completed their ‘junior’ year
in college; they do not want to
spend their time training individ-
uals only to have them leave after
three months and never return.
During the summer after one’s
junior year, however, jobs are
quite abundant; industry is now
willing to train a student with the
hope that after graduation she will
return as a permanent employee.
Last summer I worked in the Or-
ganic Chemistry’ Research Depart-
ment of Ciba Pharmaceutical Labs
in Summit, New Jersey as a lab-
oratory assistant. I found this pos-
ition very rewarding for many rea-
sons. The pay granted by the ma-
_jority of large industrial labs is
“quite good, ranging from a mini-
mum of $60.00 per week to as high
as $90.00. More important though
was the fact that the work was
interesting and not at all routine
(i.e., one girl on campus will con-
fess working in a lab for more
money, but her job was shaving
one guinea pig after another!).
I was trained in many new lab-
oratory techniques and, although
with the limited knowledge in
chemistry of an undergraduate I
could not do any individual —re-
search, I felt much pleasure as I
increased my knowledge of the
methods of pharmaceutical re-
search to the point of being of
value to the laboratory in which I
worked with a minimum of super-
vision.
Ciba Pharmaceutical Labs have
the policy of hiring for the summer
a number of girls from various,col-
leges (usually one from each).Till
last year no one from Bryn Mawr
had applied for a summer position
in- this fairly recently formed com-
pany. Thus, when I was interview-
ed by the field representatives
through the Chemistry Depart-
ment, I had a distinct advantage
because they wanted a representa-
tive from Bryn Mawr and also
because I lived close enough to
the laboratories so that transporta-
tion would be no problem. The
policy of hiring'a number of col-
lege students led to the oppor-
tunity of supplementing interest-
ing work with interesting associa-
tions.
The only disadvantage of this
position was the fact that an em-
ployee without a degree had to
join the Union, ipso facto—pay Un-
ion dues and punch a time clock at
8:15 every morning. But even\this
disadvantage was overshadowed by
the experience gained working in
one’s own field with people sharing
a mutual interest. This job also
gave the opportunity of discover-
ing chemistry was my major con-
cern—perhaps if I had not worked
at. Ciba this summer I would not
intend to enter graduate school in
the field of Organic Chemistry next,
September.
Lab, Office Yield
Financial Rewards
Office jobs have been the most
numerous for some time. This
year (1956) these 110 students
worked in banks, general business
offices, industrial, medical, political,
etc.; they were tellers, bookkeep-
ers, typists, clerks, receptionists,
and girl Fridays. In most cases,
they worked for the entire summer
or about three and a half months.
Camp and recreation positions
are readily available to interested
students. Camp directors have had
difficulty for some years in filling
counselor vacancies. The short
season and comparatively low: pay
have discouraged many“who might
otherwise enjoy an outdoor sum-
mer, Playground leaders and
swimming pool lifeguards usually
work a longer season and at better
pay.
Being a waitress in a hotel or
restaurant is usually considered
the most lucrative summer job, but,
this past year, a slow season at
most resorts, resulted in poor tips
and low pay. The average for 1956
waitresses—$357—-was below even

Counseling In Harlem Day Camp
Was Useful Social Work Practice
by Mimi Machado ’57
This summer I worked for eight
weeks in a day camp run by a
community center in Harlem. The
job was fairly typical: I had a
group of 17 eight and nine year old
girls who came to the center every
day. We did the usual arts and
crafts and activities and went on
trips around New York City. One
_tunusual_.aspect..of the joh, however,
was that we were responsible for
planning the daily programs for
our respective groups. There were
no set activities and it was left to
us to entertain the children.
It was a rugged summer, but
fun and rewarding, and there were
other advantages as' well. I got my
job through The Summer Experi-
ence in Social Work, which I heard
about from our Bureau of Recom-
mendations. This group places its
members in the positions they de-
Joh As Traveling
Counselor Is Fun
by Lucy Wales ’59 «
When the train left Boston for
the West with only four of the ex-
pected five campers on board, I had
a feeling that my summer job
would be unusual. It was.
“My official position was that of
camp counselor, but the camp dif-
fered in many ways from most.
The 90 campers, of whom 19 were
girls between the ages of 12 and
18, were divided into four auton-
omous groups. Three of these fol-
lowed a rotating plan, camping in
various places around the Zuni
mountains in New Mexico, travel-
ling around in Colorado or Utah,
and using the base camp near Gal-
lup, N. M. for the last third of the
summer.
Life for the first two-thirds of
the summer was based on making
and breaking camp until the basic
routines were learned, at which
time many other activities became
predominant. These included every-
thing from hunting potsherds to
capturing a baby rattlesnake (later
pickled by one of the boys’ groups
to the consternation of all) and
participating in a rodeo and two
brandings, as well as visiting such
National Monuments as Mesa
Verde and the Great Sand Dunes.
I was introduced to the possibil-
sire and then tries to provide
them with the most comprehen-
sive idea of the profession of social
work possible in a short space of
time.
There were 50 of us in the group
and we had four day-long meet-
ings, during which we learned
about many of the different forms

Schools of Social Work. Among
other things, we were taken

of the Sesnvtnent of Welfare,
that part of the United Nations
concerned with international social
welfare and a “typical” settlement
house.
In short,.we were given a pretty
complete idea of the many kinds
of social work that exist, and I
feel that for anyone who is even
‘remotely considering the possibil-
ities of a career in social work, an
opportunity of this kind is invalu-
able, and a necessity.
Waitressing, Tiring
But Lucrative Work
by Debby Ham ’59
Among summer jobs for college
students waitressing is probably
the commonest, most arduous and
most variable from place to place.
Hotels and resorts are willing to
hire flocks of undergraduates every
summer because extra help is need-
ed at this season and because wait-
ressing needs ‘no special training.
For unskilled work, waitressing
is probably one of the most lucra-
tive and easily available summer
jobs. Salaries are generally low
but tips make up one-half to two-
thirds of a summer’s earnings. Al-
though reports vary widely, it is
possible to make as much as $800
or $900 a season and usual to
make at least $450. A very popu-
lous resort, where there is a fre-
quent turnover will ultimately pay
more than one where visitors re-
main for two or three weeks.

Jobs in national parks are not
available through the Department
of the Interior, but are controlled
by private companies. In Glacier,
the Great Northern Railroad owns
and operates all the hotels “and
chalets. One must apply through
their offices and applications should
be in by the middle of so r=>
kinds of jobs available for colleg
girls in Glacier are typical of
those in all national parks. They
need a few people for front-office
jobs. (switchboard operators, cash-
iers, room clerks, gift shop clerks,
etc.), waitresses, chambermaids,
kitchen girls; laundry girls and so
on. The jobs run eight hours a
day, six days a week and they
all require hard work. Waitresses
are the most highly paid. With
tips, they average around $590 for
the summer. But,

summer, transportation home from
the park is provided by Great

Hard work and low anaclan
sound rather discouraging. At the
same time, I wouldn’t trade last
summer for any summer in the
world. Many Glacier Hotel is right
at the shore of Swiftcurrent Lake.
Across the water “runs a ridge of
the Continental Divide. Rocky
Mountain peaks rise on all sides. In
the early morning, the snow on
the peaks is orange and purple
with the alpine glow; in the even-
ing, if you climb 300 feet
up Mount Alton, you can _ see
the sunset reflected in five glacier-
fed lakes. As a hotel employee, all
the facilities of the park are avail-
able to you.
Day-Off Occupations
The usual day-off occupations at
Glacier are hiking and hitchhiking.
Hikes range anywhere from five to
25 miles. Most of the. trails run
along the Continental Divide, and
you can see all of the park spread
out around you. Hiking there is an
amazing experience. Whether you
try to cover ground, or simply sit
and count the alpine flowers and
make friends with the mountain
goats, you won’t forget it.
Glacier ‘is only 20 miles from
the Canadian border, so you spend
many days off in Canada, buying
sweaters and skirts from Scotland
and the inevitable wool to knit the
inevitable ski sweater. People
avoiding - the Canadian — tourist
towns at the border can hitchhike
to Lethbridge, or even as far as
Calgary where the famous Rodeo
is held. Later in the summer, you'll

Haverford Finds Expansion Of Student
Body Over “Optimum 450” Inadvisable
by Rita Rubinstein
- Several months ago we reprinted
from the Haverford News an
editorial, “Thoughts on Admis-
sions,” that called for consideration
of a different method of selecting
students—“a method which would
give greater weight to the person
with scholarly interests and which
would preserve the ‘raison d’etre’
of the small liberal arts college
“We are disturbed by recent re-
ports in Time Magazine that all
colleges and universities. are, in
tightening their admissions stand-
ards, combing high schoolurbia for
‘whole men.’
“The basic point is that the type
of entering class one expects to
attract is almost complementary to
the size of the institution. That is,
we may be faced with the choice
which elected to remain small and/of keeping our current admissions
buck the pressures’ to expand and
educate a growing crop of ‘whole
men’.” Now Haverford begins a
series of reflections on the future
of the college—in this instance its
size. It should be noted that last
year with the approval of a 10%
increase in our own enrollment, the
college hoped to maintain its “in-
tegrity” while answering this
“national pressure to expand.” The
essence of the recent Haverford
editorial is printed below.
“We are not number worshipers.
We attach no magical power to the
figure 450. Yet we submit that a
figure ‘somewhere around’ this one
should continue to be regarded
as the optimum size of the student
body.
’STpis is not mete uegimaws -Be-
sertion on our part; it comes only
after our consideration of all
factors which enter into the deter-
mination of a College’s enrollment
size—factors as diverse as endow-
ment;physical plant, goals of the
‘invisible College,’ faculty wishes,
population increases, our ‘duty’ to
educate the coming generations,
and our ‘duty’ to the academic
community at large.
standards and increasing the en-
rollment so that we may continue
to attract the same type of student
or in deciding to keep the college
enrollment at the same level, evolv-
ing a ‘new set of admissions
criteria.
“And a larger student body
brings one to consider the problem
of student-faculty ratio. Will the
number of faculty increase as the
student body expands? Or will a
greater student load per faculty
member help to relieve.the finan-
cial pressure on the College and
obviate any need for tuition and
board increases?
“And the question also arises:
If Haverford chooses to remain
small, can it. attract the capable
ton-flicht. facultv it is now en-
joying or will outstanding men be
lured by offers from larger insti-
tutions and industry?
“As we enter -this discussion,
we are fully aware that we do not
have all the answers. Indeed others
may be able to point out many
fallacies, errors, and examples of
hazy thinking. We welcome such
correction; the future of the Col-
lege is at stake.” a

Mr. Dudden gave a brief histor-
ica] interpretation. of. the. events
which led to the creation of the
Republic of Israel, laying stress
upon the “artificial” nature of the
state which had been created re-
cently and violently. He also em-
phasized the position of the Unit-
ed States in this matter: as a mem-
ber of the United Nations Ameri-
cans are pledged to the support of
the Republic of Israel and, in ad-
dition, the United States was di-
rectly concerned in the creation of
the state.
Outlining the difficulties between
the Arab and Jewish worlds, Mr.
Dudden traced the meaning of
“Zionism” and gave particular ref-
erence to the First and Second
World Wars and their aftermaths.
++ fhe “propiem whieh tne Unived
States must deal with now is the
post-Second World War tide of
nationalism which has united
Arabs as well as other nationali-
ties and faces. [With the intrusion
of an artificially-created state
into lands held primarily by Arabs,
these Arabs turned for support to
the United States and finally to
other powers. Thus began the
unique struggle in the Middle East,
each nation and each race contend-
ing for its own lasting and super-
ior establishment.
Many serious and necessary ques-
tions came about as a result of
Mr. Dudden’s careful analysis. of
past events and their relation to
the recent mid-Eastern crisis. Dual
allegiance (to country and to her-
itage), financial ties and shades
of feeling among Jews were each
discussed in turn.
American sympathy. toward the
Republic of Israel was examined,
with regard to Jewish influence
and support. Numerous personal
opinions and experiences were of-
fered by members of Mr. Dudden’s
audience in relation to this partic-
ular point. Further response was
given as the discussion shifted to
the United States foreign policy.
and its actions within the last four
months (since Egypt was invad-
ed). Mr. Dudden drew the con-
clusion that the Administration
has been harder recently on the
Republic of Israel than it has been
on the Arabs. To back his point,
he mentioned President Eisenhow-
er’s speech concerning the mid-
Eastern situation.
As the hour drew to a close, Mr.
Dudden, with the help of audience
participation, stated that the “in-
flamed atmospiere™-ui-ivtiay eens,
to- breed nothing but trouble.
“Hardening of views” on the mid-
Eastern crisis leads to “vast over-
simplification”, which turn
causes greater emotionalism. Mr.
Dudden suggested the possibility
of loyalty to both races, to both
nations, with a careful eye toward
our own country’s foreign policy.
Since this hour raised many un-
answered questions, Mr. Dudden,
with a large following, moved to
Rhoads’. smoker to continue the
in
discussion.

ICG Meeting Held
March 2 At H’ford
On Saturday, March 2, an Inter-
Collegiate Council on Government
was held at Roberts Hall, Haver-
ford. Participating colleges from
the Philadelphia area’ were Bryn
Mawr, Haverford,.. Swarthmore,
Rosemont, PMC, Penn, Villanova,
Immaculata, Temple, Westchester
and Drexel. The council was held
in preparation for the state con-
vention to be held at Harrisburg
on April.13. ;
During the morning session the
delegates from the different col-
leges were divided into committees
to draft-bills to be submitted to
the Legislature during the after-
noon. According to Barbara Pinney
and Donna Cochrane, co-chairmen
of ICG on campus and ‘heads of
the Bryn Mawr delegation, the
committee meetings were very con-
structive, giving the participants
a feeling for legislative proced-
ures:
The afternoon session was de-
voted to debate on the bills sub-
mitted by the various committees.
But the fun really began at about
4:30 when Bryn Mawr and Haver-
ford delegates, hastily recruited
for the occasion, had a secret meet-
ing under the leadership of John
Harkins, head of the Haverford
delegation,.who revealed the ma-
chinations of practical politics to
the uninitiated. The plan was this:
Harkins would make a motion to
suspend the rules of the day so
that new business could be sub-
mitted. This new business consisted
of introducing a motion stating
that all politicking done on a state
level was null and void and should
be handled by a committee set up
by Bryn Mawr, Haverford and
Swarthmore; that any “econsidera-
tion jof th tion, once voted
upon, would have to be unanimous.
Once the motion to suspend the
rules of the day and to consider
new business was passed, there
would be no difficulty in getting
the new business through because
the three-college delegation form-
ed a majority of those left at the
meeting, several of the delegations
having left for home!
Upon returning to Roberts Hall
the motion to suspend the rules
was made. This was viewed by the
other delegations with suspicion
and so many Points of Order, In-
formation and Personal Privilege
were made that by the time voting
began it was dinner-time! A roll-
call vote of the Haverford, Bryn
Mawr and Swarthmore delegations
was demanded which led to chal-
lenges of the delegates’ identities.
While these were being checked it
was discovered that there wasn’t
a quorum and the meeting was ad-
|journed, amidst general confusion!

In Response To Lament Of E. Ambler
At last! The winners of the
Name The Girl Contest have been
chairman of the judging committee
consisting of Martha Thomas,
Caroline Reinero and Sally Wise!
First) Prize goes-:'to' Agnes
Kuhlke ’59 for the name, “Audrey”;
Second Prize to Martha Thomas
67 for “Erin”; Third Prize to
Gwen Garland ’57 for “Elena.”
The three winners were among
148 people who responded to the
cry for help posted on the college
bulletin. boards which read as fol-
lows:
“Help Wanted!”
“YES, HELP WANTED” to find
a new first name for a deserving
young woman, in this exciting new
Name The Girl Contest, for gen-
uinely valuable prizes. Nothing to
buy, nothing to sell, nothing to
eat. Just write your entry, togeth-
er with your own name and ad-
dress, on any old piece of paper
and send to Effie Ambler, Denbigh,
via campus mail. You don’t. even
have to waste a three cent stamp
in this wonderful brand new con-
test idea. And YOU may be the
winner of one of the three mar-
velous PRIZES.

testant may submit up to ten en-
tries; each entry must be on a sep-
arate sheet of paper.
“2) Names may bé either single
‘(examples: Mary, Jean) or double
(Sarah Jane, Cindy Lou) or they
may consist of a first and. middle
name to.be spoken separately but
which would together comprise a
single full name (Gwendolyn Cass-
announced by Effie Ambler ’58,
andra Jones). All entries will be
carefully considered, but for extra
careful consideration include pos-
sible attractive nicknames with
your entry.
“3), Entries ‘Should strive to gain
an effect of both dignity and
vivaciousness, and should go well
with the last name “Ambler.”
Names may be old line, contem-
porary, avant garde, any national-
ity/language, or newly and com-
pletely the product of a fevered
imagination .. > ~"*>
Effie’s reasons for conducting the
contest?
“Ever since I was born, or at
least since I’ve been old enough to
talk, people have asked me what,
‘Effie’ is short for,” she explained
in an exasperated tone. “It’s not
short for anything!”
She has always disliked her
name, and when she became 21 two
Sundays ago she decided to do
something about it legally. “I
didn’t realize it would be so hard
to think up a new name,” she con-
fessed. “Although people have been
helpful, I’m still not satisfied with
the winning names and would ap-
munagiaha.
So
Effie is looking for a name that
is a little out of the ordinary but
not as unusual as the one she has.
“You don’t met many people with
the name ‘Effie’,” she said wist-
fully. “One entry was ‘Forever
Ambler’ but, although it’s the
most original and cleverest, I
thought it lacked the proper dig-
nity. And besides, I don’t want to
be an Ambler forever!”

Fencing
by Marisa Gori
Saturday morning the Bryn
Mawr varsity fencing team secured
a victory over Goucher with a close
score of 5 to 4. The action was
fast and neat on both sides, pro-
viding a good show for the specta-
tors.
The Goucher fencers were Ari
Ward (captain), Diane Kressler
and Melanie Huggins. Gail Disney
(captain), Donna Cochrane and
Marisa Gori dueled for Bryn Mawr.
Swimming
by Lucy Wales
The fact that Hood hasn’t had}.
a swimming team before this year,
doesn’t seem to deter them from
winning.. In fact, Hood won all of
the events except the orthodox
breaststroke race, won by Bar-
nard, and the freestyle, which end-
ed in a tie between Hood and Bryn
Mawr. The final score was thus
easy to determine, from the re-
sults of a majority of the races:
Hood 44, Bryn Mawr 37, Barnard
82:
The diving was beset with diffi-
culties incurred by Bryn Mawr’s
low, and stiff board. In spite of
|| these problems, several good dives
were executed, and the event was
won by Sally Davis for Bryn Mawr.
In the afternoon, competition
was open to all comers, and consist-.
PLAY DAY
ed of a series of relays, umbrella,
pajama and candle races, for the
amusement of the spectators and
the participants.
Badminton
Bryn Mawr won all of its bad-
minton matches against Goucher,
Hood and Barnard, tying one game
with Hood. Because one team
arrived late and another brought
only two players, with the result
that the schedule was thrown off,
the. final results cannot be con-
sidered conclusive.
Elizabeth Thomas and June
Costin played singles for Bryn
Mawr while Topsy Pell and Gracie
van Hulsteyn formed the doubles
team. Each college played two sets
of singles and one set of doubles.

Wolfson Attracts Enormous Audience
For The Grace A. de Laguna Lecture
Common Room, March 4—Harry
A. Wolfson, Professor of Hebrew
Literature and Philosophy, from
Harvard University, gave the
Theodore: and Grace A. de Laguna
Lecture in Philosophy. His subject
was, “Descendents of Platonic
Ideas.”
Dr. Wolfson limited his discus-
sion to two descendents, “the son
and grandson of Platonic ideals—
Philo and Plotinus” and to two
texts, the Timaeus and St. John.
According to Mr. Wolfson, Philo
asserts that when God decided to
create the world, he created the
ideal model which contains all
ideas first. This is the logos and
is the instrument used to create
the world itself. This view has
much in common, as well as some
differences, with Plato’s Timaeus,
which declares that the creator
had an ideal model upon which he
created. the world. .
Some of the differences are on
such points as Plato’s reference to
the world as “intelligible animal,”
which supposes a world soul in
creation. Philo does not agree with
this and. instead uses the term “in-
telligible world” to describe crea-
tion.
To Plato there were, separately,
God, matter, and ideas. Other
philosophers had believed in the
‘aea TG Goa. “Tnese wu vicwe sop rep
resent the extradeical and the
aL
intradeical interpretation of the
idéa. Philo synthesized this to the
idea existing by the side of God
but possbily outside man, so that
there is God and matter; an idea
really of Mosaic derivation.
Philo relates his logos to ‘the
Word,:-as found in St. John, as the
instrument of creation.
To Plotinus, the logos was God,
as contrasted to the secondary
position it is given in Philo’s
philosophy. It represents the differ-
ence between God the begetter (the
earlier mythologic tradition) and
the creator, which is Plotinus’s
and, ultimately, the Christian view.
However,;' the two traditions are
connected by the idea of the mir-
aculous birth.
The harmonization of the extra
and intradeical views was
concern of the Church Fathers, and
was effected by the idea of the
Triune God.
Altogether, there is at last no
great difference between the Chris-
tian and Platonic ideals, in these
areas and, as Dr. Wolfson said in
properly scriptural style, “Plato
lived 40 years and his ideas begat
the Philonic logos, which lived for
350 years; it begat the Jeromine
logos which .lived for 600 years
and begat the Moslem and Koranic

see men fail to live up to his con-
ception of humanity.
Barrault’s facial mobility,
gant carriage, and perfect diction
contributed to an impressive por-
trayal of the misanthrope, I think
he .interprets Alceste as sympa-
thetic as well as ridiculous, tragic
as well as comic, but his outbursts
were a little too passionate, his
calls for laughs too frequent and
obvious, his gestures exaggerated.
He rang most true when making
fun of others,-and fell short in
evoking the tender sympathy
which should accompany the laugh-
ter at Alceste’s ridiculousness. At
moments, however, he was entire-
ly convincing, and was certainly
perfectly polished throughout.
The role of Alceste is one of the
most difficult in the theatre, one
in which it is impossible to satisfy
everyone, and Mr. Barrault’s inter-
pretation was valid, consistent and
forceful. The whole production
indeed, was remarkably true to the
conception of Moliere as one of the
foremost lovers of mankind with
the inimitable capacity to make
men laugh at themselves.

the easier, better, and more en-
joyable it will be. So come join in!
To be more particular about this
year’s Arts Night: it is to be on
March 21 and 22 in Skinner Work-
shop. It will combine, in production,
the directive talents of those elect-
ed to produce Arts Night and the
advisory abilities of the A.C.—
presidents of Chorus, Dance Clubs
College Theatre, Orchestra, ete.
The director of the production is
Maya Yardney; the = assistant
director, Bonnie Bendon; musical
director, Anne Farlow; stage man-
ager, Tawn Stokes.
Its program will include both
original material and various se-
lections by already established peo-
ple such as Bach and Shaw. Two %~
short plays written by Bryn Mawr
students will be given—one a ser-
ious play for which original in-
cidental music has been written,
and one a comedy or perhaps a
farce. An instrumental ensemble,
consisting of Betsy Johnson, Bar-
bara Booth, Bob Benjamin, Mrs.
Cunningham and Dorothy Reichen-
berger, will play a composition by
Bach, and a madrigal group and
several soloists, among them Terry
Elsom and Ellie Childs, will pre-
sent the musical side of the pro-
gram. Other contributions will in-
clude those of the Dance Club, sev-
eral mimes and a scene from St.
Joan, acted by Pat Moran and Ken
Geist, as well as several other pos- ~
sihilities.
Maya plane | a dramatic intro-
duction for the evening (plans at
present kept secret for this), from
which a theme will be drawn to
link the rest of the evening’s en-
tertainment, in a manner in itself
entertaining and part of the whole.
At this point, casting and
arranging of the program is going
on; however, Maya and all those
working on Arts Night have seen
enough to be able separately to
issue common statements of excite-
ment and good expectations for it.
The newly-formed German
Club announces the election of
Jinty Myles, president and
Sally Twiggar, treasurer. The
club adviser is Mr. Seyppel.
All students wishing polio
