Dudden Traces Meaning Of Zionism
Possibility Of Loyalties To Both Races

“The American Jew and Israel”,
admittedly .a current problem,
was given new emphasis. in Mon-
day night’s (Current Events. Led
by Mr. Arthur P. Dudden of the
History Department, the gather-
ing responded to his invitation to
disclission, which was based upon
his belief that a healthy American
society depends upon the talking-
out of such “taboo” problems.

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!

Students, Faculty et al Join Scramble
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.

“Simple, easy to follow contest

1
aylacs : P '

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.
