Literary Magazine Divides:
Publish New BMC ‘Review’

Two new publications, one based at Haverford, the other at Bryn

Mawr, have superceded the Bryn Mawr-Haverford Revue.

This joint

literary magazine was dissolved by the Haverford editor, Jon Smith,

who plans to found an entirely
new sort of publication on the Hav-
erford campus.

Bryn Mawr will continue to have
a literary magazine, the Bryn
Mawr Review. Editor Joanne Field
is now accepting manuscripts, arid
plang to have the first issue off the
press before Christmas vacation.
This magazine will concern itself,
as did the now-defunct publication,
with creative writing in essay,
poetic and fictional forms.

To Be “Unliterary”

‘On the other hand, the new Hav-
erford Revue “will be an almost
exclusively unliterary publication,”
according to a statement Jon Smith
made to the Haverford News. “We
will attempt to create a more gen-
eral type of magazine which will
appeal to a wider audience than
did the self-conscious. literary pro-
ductions of the past few years,”
Smith said,

The Haverford News article
stated that “the Revue will concen-
trate on soliciting student scholar-
ly articles on any subject growing
out of project course, Honors, or
independent research.”

Smith was quoted as saying,
“Creativity in mathematics is just
as important as creative poetry.”

Russian Surnames
Discussed in Talk
ByLinguist-Author

Boris Umbigaum, linguist and
grammarian, discussed the nature,
structure and distinguishing fea-
tures of Russian surnames in
Wyndham’s Ely Room, Friday af-
ternoon, October 28.

og is a systematized lan-
guage; with grammatical, morpho-
logical categories for semantic
groups. (Unlike most other lan-
guages, ti differentiates between
surnames and other nouns. In Eng-
lish, for example, Mr. Brown and
Mr. Taylor are distinguished from
common nouns merely by context
and. capitalization. A (Russian,
however, will have a special suffix
as a distinguishing factor. (Sim-
ilar cases do exist in other lan-
guages—O’Hara, Johnson, and Mac
millan, DuPont, Svenson—but in
Russian this is a generally observ-
ed rule.)

Present Russian surnames have
undergone a many-step develop-
ment. They are possessive adjec-
tives. derived from proper—nouns.

Self-Gov. Cites Infractions of Rules,
Clarifies Legislation on Night Jaunts

By Sue Harris and Liz Lynes,
for Self-Gov.
The. Advisory and Executive

Boards are aware that a set of
rules is being abused by a sub-

stantial number of students. Con-|

sidering the quantity of abuses di-
rected at this set of rules, Self-Gov.
feels that it is time for a re-axam-
ination of them and of the campus
situation which prompted their
adoption. These rules have two
parts: first, walking on campus
after dark, and second, walking
(or riding a bicycle) off campus in
directions other than the ville after
dark, ‘Cf. Section VII, A, 2 and
B, 1, a, pages 16 and 17 of the
Constitution.

Two Major Points

Self-Gov. would like to make it
known that, in conjunction with
walking on campus after dark,
there are two points to bear in
mind: First, that there is a Self-
Gov. policy in existence which
states that if a student has busi-
ness after dark im one or more

buildings on campus and if she
‘will be walking directly to and
from these buildings along the
lighted pathways, she may walk
alone. This policy fits under the
12:30 “walk on campus” sign-out.
Second, that there is another mean-
ing of the phrase “walking om or
off campus” (also included under
the 12:30 sign-out). This interpre-
tation is that of “taking a walk” or
“wandering” on or off campus af-
ter dark. SelfiGov. feels that it
is this latter part of the “walking”
rules which are being abused.
Since college opened this fall,
Advisory and Executive Boards

have been discussing these rules,
_.trying to resolve the principle of

minimum practical protection for
the campus with the physical set-
up of the campus, while taking
into account the wide variety of
individuals and differences in judg-
ment and opinion here at Bryn

'Mawr:—The-Self-Gov:- officers have’

been unable to come to unanimous
agreement on the best alternative
to the “walking” rules, although
they realize that some positive ac-
tion must be taken.

Alternatives Presented

Last week the Boards decided
to present to the college the poss-
‘ible alternatives by means of an
article in the NEWS and through
discussions within the halls. At
these hall meetings, mimeographed
sheets listing the alternatives will
be distributed and the Hall Presi-
dents will ask that each student
check the alternative that seems
most appropriate for the entire
campus. In this way, by finding
out the considered opinion of the
entire student body the Self-Gov.
Boards will be in a better position
to decide upon what recommenda-
tions Self-Gov. can make to the
Legislature (the representative
legislative body of the college) if
a change im the “walking” rules is
decided ‘by the student body.

There are several . important
points to consider in re-evaluating
the minimum practical protection
afforded by “walking” rules. First,
the differentiation between “walk-
ing directly’ and “wandering”
should be kept in mind (see
above). Second, the difference
from the point of view of safety,
between poorly-lighted places on
campus (hockey field, Applebee
barn, faculty row, etc.) and dark
places off campus in directions

As Attitude Shared

by Susan Nelson

Many of the important similar-
ities between the organization of
corporate structures and labor
unions ‘were pointed out by Mr.
Bernard \Nossiter, reporter for the
Washington Post, in his talk,
“What’s in it for Me?” or, “The
Current Labor-Management Prob-
lem”. Citing Mr. Pearlman, he
said, “The Labor Union takes its
structure. from. the industry with
which it bargains.” As corpora-
tion becomes increasingly bureau-
cratic and prosperous, the same
changes tend to appear in the
labor union. Even the hierarchic
arrangement of some corporatior
buildings, in which there are sep-
arate dining rooms for different
employee income brackets, is also
to be found in certain union build-
ings where the officials consider it
“declasse” to eat in the workers’
cafeteria.

‘A concern with igeteas up ap-
pearances” characterizes both busi-
ness and the labor union. When
the scandal over the television quiz
shows broke out, the network of-
ficials’ reaction was fear of incur-
ring hostile public feeling rather
than concern over correcting the



League Promotes.
V. F. Social Work

Formerly available only to
Rhoads girls, the opportunity for
evening work at Valley Forge Army
Hospital is now being offered all
interested Bryn —Mawrters — by
League. Parties are held there
about once a month on Tuesday
evenings. The Red Cross sponsors
the project and provides the trans-
portation, leaving about 6:45 and
returning at 9:30. Julie O'Neill,
League President, and Gail Reyn-
olds, who is in charge of the proj-
ect, want to expand the opportun-
ity and hope that many girls will
‘be interested in this important |

work.

Rewards Cited

A new and different kind of
acquaintanceship is the reward for
evenings spent at the hospital. Par-
ties are held for mental patients
in both the open and closed wards,
The atmosphere is comfortable,
the orchestra is good, and refresh-
ments are served. The patients,
both men and women, wear fa-
tigues. Since they have very lit-
tle other social life, they are usu-
ally eager to talk and dance. The
girls try to draw out those who
are hesitant or tend to brood, and
find that they really appreciate
it. Whether in the closed wards,
in a room within the living quar-
ters, or in the larger open wards,
there is no need for anyone to feel
apprehensive. No one who might
get out of hand is allowed to’come
to the parties, and in the closed
wards orderlies and psychiatrists
are always unobtrusively present.
Work at this hospital helps both
patient and.student and provides

service. Announcements will be
made in the halls and a list put up
in Taylor so that interested stu-
dents may sign up.

Group Investigates
Existence, Nature

Of Prejudice Here

Can a place such as Bryn Mawr
be completely free from prejudice?
Does “free thinking” itself consti-
tute a prejudice?

These questions and numerous
others relating to religious prej-
udices were discussed this after-
noon at the Inter-Faith-League
co-sponsored discussion held in
the Common Room, from five

_jo’clock until dinner.

Julie O’Neill, League President,
explained that the purpose of this
discussion was to afford the stu-
dents an' opportunity to present
their own opinions as well as to
hear those of girls of different
backgrounds, Dr. Brown, Associ-
ate Professor of Psychology, serv-
ed as moderator and got the pro-
gram underway.

The discussion was held to bring
out ideas rather than to present
any definite conclusions about the
nature of religious prejudice.
Julie O'Neill stressed that this
discussion was not the result of
prejudice on campus, but it repre-
sented a means for intelligent stu-
dents to share opinions on a sub-
|ject about which there is —mueh
‘controversy and need for under-
standing. The discussion covered
prejudice in its blatant and covert
aspects; the latter form, it was
agreed, was the most common as
well as the most difficult to bring
to the surface and comprehend.

Moonshine Topic

Gives ‘Fun Show
In 61's ‘Still Life’

“Still Life is very different from
anything that has ever been done
on the campus before—it’s a fun
show more than anything else.”
This was director Anita Dopico’s
enthusiastic comment on 61’s show,
which will be presented this Fri-

day and Saturday evenings at
8:30 p.m, in Goodhart Hall.

Weekend Events

‘An Open House will be held in
Goodhart following Friday night’s
dress rehearsal of the Junior
Show, After the performance Sat-
urday, a formal dance, “In the
Still of the Night” will feature Ed
Kleban and his band. Both func-
tions will last until 2 o’clock.

The plot, according to Anita, in-
volves a young college girl, Clau-
dia McClure, who is called home to
manage the family business which
is, interestingly enough, moonshin-
ing. A true young entrepreneur,
she is tremendously successful;
just as she is whipping the organi-
zation into shape and reaching
maximum production levels, the
U. S. government begins to show
an imterest in the improved moon-
shine which is appearing in the
hills (so good is Claudia’s product,
that the distillers begin to lose
customers), Somehow she manag-
es to extricate herself from this
situation without “bringing dis-
credit upon hersefl or her college,”
and the ending, Anita promises,
“is very happy.”

Costumes Authentic

“The costumes,” Anita announc-
ed, “are great—we got all of them
in the rummage sale last year.”

“We have,” she continued, “a
very large cast (53), but everyone
is so interested—we’re all so en-
thusiastic, and I hope everyone will

In last week’s editorial we expressed a reaction to the prepara-

_ tions of the United States for germ warfare in particular and mass
extermination in general. But in trying to formulate a position,
the editorial board has split. Two divergent stands appear below.

In Good Conscience

At any moment in time, the United States may have to
decide between surrendering her autonomy and participating
in a general thermonuclear war. Rather, the decision is
made; all our policy statements, all our military preparations
declare our readiness to trigger the missiles, to loose the
planes, to kill or be killed. Undoubtedly, there is some no-

bility in preferring annihilation to the loss of our “freedom”.

But our decision is not only to be annihilated, but to annihil-
ate, not only to suffer the destruction of tens of millions of
our population, but to destroy tens of millions of other peo-
ples; not only to bow to an almost certain maiming of the
race, but to contribute to that maiming. :

We cannot in good conscience give even tacit assent to
this national decision.

It does not matter that the United States may never be
forced. to employ its horrendous arsenal. A man-who, with
a gun in his hand, says “Make a false move, and I’ll shoot
you”, has already killed his antagonist in his heart.

We believe that the United States, as a people and as a
political and social system, has important things to say about
the dignity of man-and-those rights and freedoms he may lay
claim to. So long as the Government of the United States
acts in accordance with these principles it fulfills the func-
tion for which it was created. But supose that a terroristic
clique got control over the government; we would deny its
legitimacy. Similarly, if the United States takes a terroris-
tic stance toward any other people, we, as individuals, can,

" and perhaps must, say that there are some principles that

take precedence even over the continued autonomy of our
country. As we recall, Jefferson’s first “inalienable right”
is the right to life. If the United States denies that right
to millions of persons, even to preserve herself—then, per-

_haps she is not worth preserving.

We are taking an extreme position, because the choice
with which we are presented is one of extremes. We don’t
consider that the practical alternative to the present power
posture is unilateral disarmament, but the establishment of
arms control attended by restricted world government. But

if this proved impossible, we would choose, in the last anal-|
-ysis, to-be dominated rather than to destroy.

A Rejoinder

The majority of the Board have expressed their view
that the United States should cease its struggles in the race
for arms and power. They ask for disarmament, peace, ab-
stension from war and death, and agree to pay for these
diadems with renunciation of Democracy and submission to
a totalitarian master.

Cession of Democracy to an amoral foe is justified by
them as the more moral of two courses of action. Nonethe-
less, no review of Communist activity is necessary to cause
a shudder of revulsion at the very concept of such submis-
sion. No dramatic yisions of concentration camps, literary
censorship, control of discussion, or one-party elections need
be pai oo to sway the reader, to move him to query if “life
be so dear’, “peace so sweet”, or moral self-justification so
gratifying as to warrant the horrors of Soviet domination,

The majority of the Board have suggested that a Dem-
otracy which will prepare to destroy in self-defense is not
worth defending. They err here grievously, however, in for-
getting certain intrinsic merits of Democracy which set it off
from other forms of government and make its protection
worthy of great, even total, sacrifice. They say that in pre-
paring to destroy man Democracy will, by denying its own
basis principles, be destroying itself, but here again they for-
get a basic principle, that the state is not as the man is, its
morality cannot be compared with that of the individual. The
moral state is unable, by its very nature, to duplicate the
actions of the moral man; it cannot turn the other cheek
and. expect to survive the slap of its power-thirsty rivals: If
Democracy is to perpetuate itself it must do so by the only
means a state has of perpetuating itself: it must amass
power. :

It is probable that this power wil never be used for de-
struction, that as soon as either Russia or the West has an
ultimate and certain advantage over the other the weaker
will submit without nuclear persuasion, and the vicious race
will end. The game is, undoubtedly, an ugly and a costly

one, but to give it up now would mean giving up Democracy.

- It is the contention of this faction of the Board that no con-
sideration would justify such action.

Ques.: When is silence not golden?
Ans: When it is all the response
a teacher gets to his ques-
tions asked in class. :

The actuality of that answer is
too familiar to too many Bryn
Mawr students. And there are
also numerous campus dwellers
who feel that their courses and
assignments and classes are over-
sufficient in the provision of fac-
tual knowledge but sadly lacking
in the areas of individual thought
and integration. It seems not il-
logical to suggest the possibility
of a connection between albsence
of class response and absence of
thought. ;

The question of original think-
ing as a part of formal education
is a difficult one, complicated by
varying conceptions of needs and
means. [On fact, almost the only
aspect about which most people
can fbe expected to agree is that
it is, generally speaking, a Good
Thing. From that point, uncer-
tainty and disagreement begin to
take over.” Even: those most. con-
vinced of the absolute necessity of
individual thought as. an integral
feature of liberal (in all senses of
the word) education dispute among
themselves as to the role of that
education itself with respect to
stimulating, encouraging, and de-
manding thought.

There are those who maintain
that education is useless and (ffalse
unless it does so. On the other
hand, some see education as able
only to lead the horse to the water.
Some would blame.class silence on
the course’s content and. the man-
ner im which it is conducted, oth-
ers ‘would attribute it to the par-
ticipants’ own inadequacies, wheth-
er simple laziness or more basic
failure.‘Then there are those who
feel that The Facts are so essen-
tial that they must be mastered
first, before one can even hope to
think.

It seems undeniable that spon-
taneous, voluntary thought is the
only sort which is really ideal. But
isn’t it better to be forced, or at
least coaxed and encouraged, to
think than not to think at all?
What is the value to the student
of acquiring a vast store of infor-
mation, however fascinating, ex-

tion may be in itself, if he never
has time or inclination to make of
it anything more than a discreet,
encyclopedic array?

Again, few would gainsay the
contention that concrete back-
ground is essential in order for
original thought to be disciplined
and valid. But surely it is neith-
er right nor proper to spend the
majority or entirety of one’s years
in college—the end of formal edu-
cation for many—in building bul-
warks of as yet uncorrelated, un-
reflected-upon facts and theories.
Besides, there seems, to this writer
at least, to be a definite possibility
that such work is habit-forming—
that there occurs a gradual rust-
ing or stunting of an individual’s
independent thought processes and
an increasing reliance upon explan-
ations and solutions which can be
formulated from trustworthy, re-
assuring black-and-white data.

It is a fact recognized by psy-
chology that an organism habitu-
ally taught by methods more than
necessarily primitive will seem less
intelligent than it actually is. And
there is the further and even more
sobering ‘possibility that similar
mental habits develop in areas
other than purely academic ones.

Too many people around here
are able to present a careful anal-
ysis of opposing points of view on

best, and it is in the realm of con-

where difficulties start—especially
in this case, given the diversity of

perhaps be confronted more fre-
quently, throughout the year, with
the type of question characteristic
of our final exams—a question
which requires correlation of ma-

‘What is Campus Apathy, the al-
leged monster said to be even now

Reader Opposes
View of Editorial

To the Editor:

It was with interest that I read
an editorial of an edition published
a few days ago, which took a dim“
view of the U.S. chemical and
Basteriological Warfare Service.

‘The United States did not initi-
ate Poison-Gas Warfare, yet her
soldiers would have been in a bad
position had they not had masks
in World War I.

One of the main functions of the
Service is to find antidotes and
masks for chemical and bacterio-
logical warfare. It is my opinion
that this research is of vital im-
portance to every living person in
the U.'S., and, for that matter, the
“Free World.” dn these times, the
potential battlefield is, in part,
every square inch of our land.

{We have a duty to ourselves, to
our allies, and to all peoples to

other than the ville must also be
considered. Is there a difference
in practital safety terms? Are the
poorly-lighted places on campus
really safer than the dark places
off campus in directions other than
the ville ? If they are safer, it
may ibe necessary to define the lim-
its of the campus.

The Advisory Board suggests
the following alternatives: 1)
Leave the rules as they stand; i.e.,
three or more for wandering on
campus and off campus in direc-
tions other than the ville after
dark. This suggestion is based on
the premise that three or more stu-
dents is a necessary requirement
in the interests of safety for walk-
ing on or off campus. 2) Change
three to two for on and off campus,
on the basis that two persons is
adequate protection anywhere in
the environs of the college. Sup-
porters of this view feel that it
gives the student the opportunity
to walk on campus without taking
“the whole dorm” with her. Its
practicality, it is also felt, will re-
sult in fewer infringements of the
rule. 8) Change three persons to
two for on campus wandering,
leaving the requirement of three
persons for wandering off campus
in directions other than the ville.
This view makes a distinction be-
tween the safety of the student on
and .off ‘campus, which would ne-
cessitate defining the limits of the
campus, 4) Leave ‘walking on
campus to judgment of the stud-
ent, while requiring three. persons
- off campus in directions other than
the ville. This view assumes that
a student is safe ‘wandering on
campus alone, Again it makes a
distinction between safety on and
off campus.

Whatever is decided by the stu-
- dents concerning these rules, Self-
Gov. feels it must take steps to
warn students of the potential
danger of walking im poorly-light-
ed areas in the environs of the
college, both on and off campus.
‘When considering these alterna-
tives, remember that there have
been cases in the past. in which the
safety of a student has been vio-
lated. Also consider the variety
of individuals at Bryn Mawr.
Choose the alternative which will
provide practical, adequate and
reasonable protection for the en-

Srodeats at NSA Conference
Deliberate Aims of Education

by Melinda Aikens

12th National Student Congress -

The National Student Congress
is the culmination of the year’s
work of the National Student. As-
sociation, commonly called NSA.
NSIA is an organization devoted
to the concerns of students rang-
ing from the aims of education
and the role of student govern-
ment on campus to the continua-
tion of nuclear testing. As a
member-college, Bryn (Mawr was
allowed a voting delegate, myself,
and an alternate, Betty Cassady,
to the Congress. This year’s Con-
gress was held at the University
of Illinois and was attended by
over 1000 students representing
some 250 member colleges. This
group of students from every part
of the country formulates the pol-
icy that NSA will follow during
the year, that is, the policy enun-
ciated by the student leaders in
the United States.

Workshops Featured

The ten-day Congress is separ-
ated into workshops, legislative
sub-committees, legislative com-
mittees and plenary sessions. The
first workshop I attended was a

discussion of the student-professor
relationship. It was generally
agreed that with most professors
the relationship between student
and professor is determined by
the initiative taken by the student.
‘However, it was suggested that a
summer reading program before
Freshman year could be establish-
ed. In the fall the freshmen would
meet regularly with a rotating
professor in groups of about six
students to discuss their reading.
Almost all schools had a place
used by both faculty and students
where coffee and smacks were
served. 'We felt that this natural-
ly improves the faculty-student
relationship,

The second workship was a dis-
cussion of effective honor systems.
Bryn Mawr was unique in that we
were the only school that had a
social and academic honor system
that worked. I was able to give
some useful suggestions, and I tried
to convey the ‘spirit: of the honor’



system which is so important if it
is to work.

This exchange of ideas is the
vital part of the Congress and of
NSA. NSA is strong and effective
because it is a national union of
students in which there is a free
flow of ideas and thoughts and a
desire to help each other wtih sim-
ilar problems. The legislative sub-
committees initiate legislation and
the committee decides which legis-
lation will go on to the floor of the
plenary. The plenary session con-
sists of all Congress participants
divided according to regions, and
voting in regions, The procedure
and especially the atmosphere
were reminiscent of a national po-
litical convention. After much dis-
cussion and arguing, legislation is
passed by the plenary session. It
is then an official NSA. policy.

We passed resolutions on: Aims
of “Education, Disapproval of Loy-
alty Oaths and (Disclaimer Affida-
vits, Southwest Africa, Nuclear
Testing, Vienna Youth Festival,
and Federal Aid to Education, to
mention a few. I would like to
quote the resolution on Aims of
Education because I think it will
ibe of special interest. It was the
subject of much controversy and
was finally passed intact.

RESOLUTION

Aims of Education
“Principle:
The aim of education is to awak-

en and develop to the highest poss- |

ible degree the capacity of the in-
dividual for original, creative and
rational thinking, and the ability
to choose intelligently between
alternatives and to instill in him
an appreciation of his culture,
both past and present.

Education is a continuing pro-
cess which enables the individual
to maximize his contributions to
the totality of human intellectual
endeavor while striving for the ul-
timate fulfillment of himself as a
human being, and the etenment
of his civilization,

Education is brought about in
the individual: through:

(1) the accumulation and un-
derstanding of facts, concepts,
and methods of intellectual inquiry.

understanding, the purpose of
which are “not to come to conclu-
sions, but to provide a means for
self-examination and understand-
ing—the first step to social inter-
est”. The first of these discus-
sions, initiated on a trial basis,
was held today with Interfaith on
Religious Prejudice om the Bryn
Mawr Campus. League is also
working in conjunction with Inter-
faith and Alliance on a Conference
on African Nationalism to be held
sometime this winter.

This same sort of enthusiasm
for group discussion and tossing
about of ideas has been shown by
Interfaith, partner in the Preju-
dice Discussion and Sponsor of to-
morrow night’s panel on marriage.
This year’s group has initiated a
series of informal conclaves on

questions pertaining to Religion
in a Free Society. With Mr. Ken-
nedy to indicate areas of examin-
ation, the group—to which all in-
terested are welcome—is prepar-
ing to do some keen thinking about
important issues. The talks will
lead up to-angd prepare for a series
of four lectures in March by out-
side speakers.

' Alliance, concerned with the
aforementioned Conference on Af-
rican Nationalism and with snar-
ing a big speaker for 12:30 some-
timé this semester, is waiting with
its discussion group until after
Junior Show. The interest in talk
characterizing the other two Social
organizations may bode well for

' the success of the Alliance Discus-





hoped. In the meantime, its Young
Republicans and Young Democrats
are in touch with Philadelphia’s
city hall and prepared to do cam-
paign work, while its Internation-
al Relations Club is sending repre-
sentatives to a New York organi-
zation of the COUIN. The Debate
Club challenges passers-by in Tay-
lor with a poster demanding, “Do
you think?”, but if the club’s mem-
ship were to be considered the
measure of positive answers, one
might very well have to re-hypoth-
esize the Monster. It will be as-
sumed that it isn’t.

Arts Council, too, has widened
its scope, and according to its lead-
ers, this year’s Council is charac-
terized by “more activity and more
campus interest”. Arts Night and
a concert by Ruth (Meckler and
David Serone of Curtis Institute
are major events in the offing. Re-
turn trips to Hedgerow Theatre
(the first provoked an almost
amazing response), a series of
Friday ‘night foreign films alter-
nately here and at Haverford, and
a resumption of the playreading
group with discussion of the script
and acting techniques added, are
also being planned. ‘New this year
will be a (Christmas play for fac-
ulty children—possibly “Le Petit
Prince”, translated and dramatiz-
ed by Trudié-Hoffman.

Self-Gov, whose power. and pres-

must nonetheless be particularly
noted. ‘The conservatism of its

tion, though indicative of the con-
scientious effort behind them, tend
to make one take the organization

A visit to am Advisory Board meet-

high degree of student concern in
the Self-Government Organization.

Though smaller groups like the
German and Chess clubs play im-
portant roles they will not here be

One would wish to be able to
comment om the campus radio sta-
tion which might, with leadership
and support, become an important
voice on campus.

There is then, on the whole, a
fairly high degree of campus ac-
tivity. If projects are not as suc-
cessful as they now promise to be,
Campus Apathy cannot be blamed;
no group is comprised totally of
doers, and with proper leadership
those not “actively uninterested”
may be activated. By the same
token, it must be remembered that
the state of activity of campus or-

considered a gauge, but simply an
indication of student alertness and

Miss Ely Talks of Africa,
Seeks Unprejudiced View

by Lois Potter

Just returned from a six weeks’
trip to Africa, Miss Gertrude Ely
displayed, among her souvenirs,
fertility caps of green,‘ white,
black and orange beads, ornament-
ed with English coins around the
edges and worn on the nape of the
neck. /Why the nape of the neck
—was that somehow important in
African tribal lore? “I don’t know,
but I think somebody should cer-
tainly {find out.”

Places Visited

On her journey, Miss Ely visited
Narobi and several tribes in Ken-
ya, including the Kikuyu and Suk,
then Uganda, northern Tangan-
yika, the Belgian (Congo, Johannes-
burg in the Union of South Africa,
Ghana, Salisbury im southern Rho-
desia, and Sierra (Leone, once a
Portuguese colony, now independ-
ent, but still marked by pictures-
que traces of its past. In Salis-
bury, she attended a discussion be-
tween author Alan Paton and some
active African nationalists, on the
problems of making peace between
the elements living in the country
and those governing it. She was
also impressed by the beauty of the
people, their family life and laws,
their cheerfulness, innumerable
babies, and the fact that travel is
almost entirely by foot—bicycles
are beginning to be used, but one
sees no wagons or trucks, except
near cities, because there is no
commerce.

‘While she emphasized that her
impressions of Africa were only
impressions, not judgments, Miss
Ely was able, in her short visit,
to talk with many Europeans in
Africa and learn their views about
such disturbances as the Mau Mau
uprisings. - The thoughts of the
Mau Maus, she was told, were very
hard to wpenetrate—they often
‘worked for and lived in the midst
of the Europeans while the move-

ment was growing, without ever
hinting at their secrets, and may
still be active. Animosity towards
the Europeans is a tribal matter
as well as a personal one; one of
the oaths they take includes a

pledge to exterminate all Europ-
eans in Africa. A man who kills
his employer out of personal spite
gets no credit from them.

Interestingly enough, the Mau
Maus are members of a tribe, the
Kikuyus, which won the respect of
the British government because of
its freedom from intra-tribal wars
and massacres. The Kikuyus have ~
enormous tracts of land which
were theirs by right of tenure,
but parts of these have been taken
away from them from time to time
by Europeans.

Despite the Mau Mau atrocities,
Miss Ely said, three Englishmen
told her on three separate occa-
sions that “It may be that they’ve
done some real good, because some
of us have perhaps come to a re-
alization of what we haven’t done
that should have been done.”

One British official, in comment-
ing on the possibility of a general
uprising, what the government
might be doing to avoid this, and
how long it would take, said, “But
perhaps the time is rumning out.”
(Miss Ely asked a number of people
what they thought of the situa-
tion, and some younger men con-
fessed that it was “something so
unreal one couldn’t believe human
beings would be responsible for it.”
Yet they found a reply when Miss
Ely wondered why so few Afric-
ans ‘were included in the govern-
ment and society of their own
country:

“You in the United States,” said
one Englishman, “have had the
American Indians to deal with for
about 300 years ,and I believe I am
right in saying you haven’t yet

Ancient Rites of Halloween
Remain Untapped by BMC

by Alison Baker

__Yes,—it’s—another article on
Bryn Mawr traditions, or it might
have been wher it first got start-
ed. Not only are you exipected to
submit to the time-honored rituals
when they take place, but you
soon discover that your own prec-
iously individual time is that with
which they are so freely honored.
Meetings, rehearsals, and more re-
hearsals. (Now the crowning blow—
you are asked to read about them.
But bear up, proverbial camels, your
backs are stronger than you think.
The point of this article—there
is a point, although you may have
begun to suspect the reverse—is
not to mull over what is done and
continues to be redone, but rather
to suggest new and fertile grounds
for that vigorous animal—the tra-
dition-hungry Bryn Mawrter.

‘Who would ‘think that those
same burrowing minds who culled
the annals of Teutonic myth and
followed its thread to Merry Eng-
land, who dipped into the grandeur
that was Rome, skimmed the top
of an Oxford University Tower,
plunged to preserve a bit of the
glory that was Greece, and cased
some of the fragments in medie-
val academia; who would have
thought that the survivors of such
roller-coaster antics would neglect
as promising a cult as that of the
druids, and thus leave unexploited
the fertile field of Hallowe’en?

(Well, I don’t know who would
have thought it, nor probably do
you, but the reason why our sca-
venging forebears left such a
promising specimen of antique fes-
tival to the world at large is ob-
vious. It was that the world at
large already had it. Probably

on the Bryn Mawr campus because--

+it-had been brought to a rather un-

pleasantly active life elsewhere.
Americana, especially when active-
ly modern, might have chewed the
ivy off the walls,

But now the Encyclopedia Brit-
tanica dourly proclaims that “the
tendency to manipulate rather
than to celebrate folk festivals
such as Hallowe’en is characteris-
tic of the ‘twentieth century. It
reflects the growing influence of a
rational outlook on life and the
loss of interest in imagination and
fantasy.” (Surely this is a chal-
lenge to rouse Bryn Mawr fancies
or at least a preliminary flutter!

This Saturday night, while the
multitudes wallow in soothing
draughts of vicariously relished —
home-brew (or otherwise), while
they press together in the close
confines of “The Still of the
Night”, then perhaps some soli-
tary children of the world of dis-
illusion wil] escape to prepare their
own Druidical rites.

Of course it’s fine to swim in
wine, and turn upon the toe, but
those with wilder things in mind
will gather at the top of the Bryn
Mawr hill, there to crouch round
a blazing bonfire and welcome de-
parted kinsmen to its warmth. An
easy straddle to the Middle Ages
will set them to roasting nuts
and ducking for apples as they
pronounce augyries of the dawn-
ing year.

There is no telling what the
profits and delights of a witches’
Sabbath might contribute towards
relieving the drumming of the
humdrum. So why relax in the
complacency of a Still Night? Why
knuckle under to insidious learn-
ing? Rise instead, and follow

Summer Scientists Express
Views of Research Projects

This is the second half of an ar-
ticle started in last week’s News,
concerning ten Bryn Mawr students
who did scientific research this sum-
mer under grants from the National
Science Foundation.

Jean Hebb, the only junior in
the program this summer, was
working in physics with a grad stu-
dent under Dr. Michels, studying
the behavior of ions in electrolitic
interphases, in surface phenomena.
Jean said she got a lot out of the
summer as an experience in meth-
od of research—“‘how to approach
turning vague statements into
quantitative measurement, getting
it into exact mathematics. When
you’re expressing the distance of
ions below the surface you’re work-
ing with 10-10 metres.”

Jean found that having had only
101 physics was definitely a dis-
advantage. She came a week early
to do reading, which she found
stimulating but hard, and contin-
ued reading as she worked. She
also found that her background in
math, more than in physics, helped
her with the basic operations and
computations.

Dr. Michels, the grad student
and Jean would sometimes plan to-
gether. “They were in the process
of figuring out how to set it up,”
she says. ‘‘We’d all three be there
mulling it over, and my help con-
sisted in asking silly basic ques-
tions. There was one exciting day
when he came back and used an
idea I had originally had.”

Advantages

Although Jean is not certain
which science she’ will go into as
a career, she said this summer
gave her more of an idea of the
kind of work she will be doing.
“You have to keep the whole idea
of the thing high enough to go
through stuff which is not inher-
ently interesting, such as punching
an adding machine. Sometimes
when you’re just learning the clas-
sic laws of motion, physics seems
to be a closed system, all settled,
and it’s a challenge to your mind
to see whether you can feel justi-
fied in having original creative
ideas, or just capitulate to what
‘they’ say.”

Sue C. Jones, in physics, was

- working with Miss Hoyt in’a proj-

ect determining the electric con-
stant of an organic acid. Sue’s
main job was to design the layout
for the apparatus, put it together
and calibrate it. “I ordered it and
soldered it—that was grand fun—
and spent the rest of the time try-
ing to make the thing work.”

(Miss Hoyt filled in on theory as
to what they would do with the
information when they got it, and
Sue did some reading on theories
for designing the equipment. She
had had three physics courses al-
ready, including one in electricity,
which was what she needed for
this work, so there was really no
gap to fill between her course work
and the job.



Sue says that one of the things
that made the summer interesting
was the emphasis in the depart-
ment that she make the equipment
with materials that were already
available. “All the way, the main
purpose of what I was doing was
my own education, and what hap-
pened to the experiment was sec-
ondary.”

She feels that she enjoyed the
work, and although she is not plan-
ning to go into physics, “if I had
been planning to go into physics
it would have been a grand help.”

Psychology Work

Jean Hoag was working in psy-
chology with Mr. Davidon, study-
ing and attempting to measure
body image. Her specific part of
the project included running exper-
iments on other people (“Some-
times we tested each other too.”),
and setting up the equipment. A
major part of her work consisted
of compiling a bibliography on the
subject for Mr. Davidon’s use.
“There wasn’t really a lot of read-
ing involved—just collecting the
material for him to read in his
own time, ‘A comprehensive sur-
vey of the literature,’ I think it’s
called officially.”

Jean said that this work did not
especially relate to her specific car-
eer (plans, except of course that the
experience of having been a re-
search assistant would always be
useful. Jean liked the fact that
she was pretty much on her. own,
meeting with Mr. Davidon. every
morning to discuss the work.

Toward the end of the summer
she was given a series of questions
to answer, which was actual re-
search for her taken from the read-
ing cards she had made. Other than
these, she was under no pressure
of time, but she found these ques-
tions more challenging than her
other work.

Also working psychology was
Sue Schonberg, the only one in the
Bryn Mawr branch of the NSF
program who did not work at Bryn
Mawr working in conjunction with
the Mellon Foundation, so her
work was done at Vassar and much
of it could be taken to the nearby
summer home of Dr. Brown, with
whom she was working.

Her summer included work on
two projects. One was a portion
of Dr. Brown’s own ‘work under
the Mellon Foundation, dealing
with prediction of faculty: nomin-
ation of ideal students; for this
Sue was mostly gathering and as-
similating statistics on tests which
had already been conducted.

Her own project dealth more
generally with the timing of
changes in personality in wom-
en during the college years:
“Who will change? What hap-
pens to their views on social, polit-
ical, religious questions—that kind
of thing. Also, to what extent these
studies we had from the Vassar
girls could be considered univer-
sal.” Personality and social psh-
chology were a new area for Sue,
and she commented that it is hard

labs even more than at present,
and to encourage original reflec-

Declaration:

-USNSA advocates the education

of all the people to the highest de-

gree of excellence of which they
are individually capable. The sole
criteria of educational opportunity
and advancement must be the in-
dividual’s demonstrated ability and
desire to obtain that education,
rather than age, creed ethnic
group, color, race or sex,

To a large extent education to-
day has become the mere presen-
tation,. acquisition and parroting
of facts and concepts rather than
the questioning and understanding
of these facts and concepts. In
some cases, the process of higher
education, in essence, has come in

al and vocational skills. Even in
pursuing these skills, the criteria

or is not receiving its due respect.
This situation, evident on all levels
of education, is especially alarm-
ing in higher education which by

its nature ought to be dedicated to
the ideals of academic excellence.

Curriculum:

Institutions of learning must
eliminate the dichotomy between
the general and vocational educa-
tion through a return to a concen-
tration on the basic intellectual
skills. There must be a re-empha-
sis of those areas of academic dis-
cipline which are not confined to a

single vocation, but are essential
to every vocation.

In pursuit of this objective we
strongly believe that the basic ed-
ucation of every individual must
include courses both broad and
deep in the natural science, the
humanities, the fine arts, and. the
basic areas of the social sciences.
Atmosphere:

Most American colleges lack
devotion to the intellect, a sense
of dedication and a profound re-
spect for the education which the
student should be pursuing. The
loss of the proper intellectual clim-
ate has been accompanied by a
misdirection of legitimate extra-
curricular..activities.through an
er-emphasis ‘on social, athletic
and governmental activities for
their own sake rather than for the
sake of the overall educational
process.

The Individual:



USNSA has observed that in

NSA Convenes; Student Outlines Proposals

the ‘haste to bring more education
to more people, and as a result of
the change in the emphasis of edu-
cation from academic achievement’
bo social adjustment, the individ-
ual—the center of the educational
process—has been forgotten, The
aim of education is individual de-
velopment—not social adjustment.
The Teacher:

USNSA recognizes the import-
ance of -the teacher since educa-
tion is passed from person to per-
son.

Action:

USINSA further urges the en-
couragement of educational pro-
grams. emphasizing independent
research, smaller classes with an
emphasis on discussion and closer
contact {between the teacher and
the individual student.

Beaver Hands Bryn

Mawr 3-0 Defeat

Due To Lack Of Speed But Not Spirit

by Pixie Schieffelin

To have emerged victorious in
the hockey game Tuesday, October
20, Bryn Mawr should have heed-
ed those words of the First Lady of
Hockey, Miss Applebee, who al-
ways shouted “Run, for Heaven
Sakes, r-r-r-run!” The varsity
and junior varsity both lost to
‘Beaver by a score of 8-0.

Lack of Speed

It was lack of speed that pre-
vented Bryn Mawr from scoring.
Although the team ran faster than
it ever has before, Beaver was
faster. The Beaver defense always
had time to get into position to

block the forward line. In the sec-
ond half the varsity was too tired
to keep up the pace set by Beaver.

Although the players didn’t use
their legs, they did use their heads.
In the opinion of Miss Stevenson,
the referee, this was the best game
Bryn Mawr has ever played. The
team showed great improvement
over last.-week’s..performance,...In
the second half, Edie Murphy pre-
tended to pass to the left and in-
stead flicked the ball to the right

inner, thus thoroughly confusing
the opposing center halfback.
Goal “Mistake”

The first goal that Beaver made
was a definite mistake on a techni-
cality. The goalie, Corky Corcor-
an let the ball go because she
thought no one had touched it in
the striking circle, but apparently
someone had . However, Corky’s
performance on the whole is to be
commended tbecause she saved a
number of goals. The final goal
‘was a beautiful hard hit by the
Beaver left wing.

The junior varsity played well,
but again was not fast enough.
During the remaining minutes of
play the game was highlighted by
a splendid sprint performed by
Kate Niles.

only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist.

Perhaps for this reason, the Navy has taken
valuable space aboard the ‘“‘Nautilus” for the
only soft-drink vending machine i in the entire

Naturally (or you wouldn’t hear about it

unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite

tion for this legal or illegal ‘“‘cheat-
ing” sound very much alike. A
good many union officials, more-
over, live on a level quite up to the
business executive’s standard.
Summing this up, Mr. Nossiter

said, “There is a relation, although
it may be distant, between the
most unsavory union leader and
his corporate peer.” Perhaps the
most important similarity between
labor and management is the atti-
tude of-iboth toward the economic
state of the nation.

“Businessmen like to talk about
stability”, said Mr. Nossiter; “sta-
bility of prices, stability of mar-
ket. They really mean, I am afraid,

‘the sure thing’.” A stable econ-
omic situation means a “sure
thing” as far as’ profits are con-
cerned. But this attitude is not
peculiar to the management or ex-
ecutive end of business. The work-
ers share this feeling, ‘The cru-
sading zeal that has characterized
the unions in the past is now some-



Umbigaum: On Russian Surnames

Continued from Page 1, Col. 2
Before becoming a surname these
adjectives were the form of the
patronymic, the Russian “middle
name” which changes in each gen-
eration, as it is derived from the
mame of one’s father.

A recent development, adopted
from the western world, is that of
the hereditary surname. Its ad-
vent created several problems. The
patronymic was adopted as the
surname, and a new patronymic

guffix was developed. However, it

was considered a privilege to be
named after one’s father, and the
permission of the Czar was neces-
sary before one could adopt a new
patronymic. Since Russia was at
that time a very class-conscious
nation, the distribution of patro-
nymics was done according to
classes, ‘The upper classes were
permitted to use the new and high-
ly desirable “ich”; the middle
groups were given “in”; and lower
classes were not allowed patrony-
mics at all. In the nineteenth cen-
tury, however, use of the patro-

nymic was extended and general-
ized.

Russian surnames are formed
from four major groups by the ad-
dition of suffixes formed from a
Christian name, a nickname, a
tradename, or a name of origin.

Mr. Umbigaum has been Librar-
iam of the Bibliotheque Nationale

is now spending a year as guest

ture was his first in the United

what outmoded.” The workers are
not overly class-conscious and
they do not, for the most part,
have real social aspirations. They
are not inclined to protest, and

their attitude toward the high-
income business executive is bas-
ically, “As long as I’m getting
mine, he can get his.”

This stability-oriented atttude is
not simply ingrained in the nature
of American (Capitalism. It is a

historical] factor, too. “This ero-
sion of moral fabric seems to be
related to post-war influences,”
Mr. Nossiter said. ‘No one has
really been hurt.very much by the
recent labor-management difficul-
ties, and much of the outcry over

‘them has been “forced” and has

not been backed by real feelings
of outrage. Post-war periods seem
to be characterized by an “absence
of the capacity for indignation.”

The picture, however, is not al-
together drab. The steps takem by
the Anti-Trust Committee against
monopolization and the resolution
of several corporations to work out
more democratic sharing of profits
among stockholders, management,
and labor seem to indicate that

member, we’ve only been in Africa
about 70 years.”

“I came away,” said Miss Ely,
“feeling that nobody in the world
today should throw stones at any

other country. If you begin really
talking about injustice, you're
just bound to include many situa-
tions in our own country. But of
course there are several other good
achievements too.”

As examples of these, she men-
tioned the excellent “university
colleges” attached to English uni-
versities which accept African stu-
dents from them. They are well-
run, she said, and have good fac-
ulties of “people who want to be
in Africa, to help the Africans de-
velop themselves.” The Europeans
are beginning to realize that they
must help train leaders to succeed
them in the time when Africans
will be running their own govern-
ments all over the continent,



labor-management conflicts
may be resolved to more or less
general satisfaction.
