Ashmead Lists Sorrow and Betrayal

As “New Generation Novel” Themes

Mr. John Ashmead, Professor of
English at Haverford, gave the
Arts Forum lecture on Monday,
May 5 on the “New Generation
Novel in France, Japan and the
United States.’ Mr. Ashmead
chose these countries to show..the
universal qualities to’ be found ‘in
the new novels of the three con-
tinents. ok

The representative novels that
Mr. Ashmead selected to elucidate
his discusion were: On the Road
by Jack. Kerouac, Bonjour Tris-
tesse by Francoise Sagan, and

Approval Needed
ForCreditTransfer

Students contemplating summer
school work for which they wish
college credits should keep in mind
the basis on “which transfer credit
is granted: 1) the institution must
be accredited by its regional ac-
crediting agency; 2) the courses
must be. comparable to work. given



at Bryn Mawr College; 3) the

courses must not repeat or dupli-
cate work offered for admission or
taken at Bryn Mawr College.

Hour-for-hour credit will be giv-
en for acceptable courses taken
at acceptable institutions; the in-
stitution’s own evaluation of the
hour-value of its course will be
taken. (No credit will be given
for less than one-half unit of work
(four semester hours or five quar-
ter hours), and no credit will be
given for work receiving /a grade
below C.

To be sure that these require-
ments are met, the student must
consult her Dean concerning her
plan of summer work. If the
courses are in the major or allied
fields, or are to meet Bryn Mawr
requirements, they must be specif-
ically approved in advance by the
corresponding department here.
Forms for Approval of Transfer
Credit are available in the Dean’s
Office, and must be filled out in de-
tail and signed by the Dean and
the in structor concerned, and turn-
ed in at the Recorder’s Office.



Ishijuara’s Season of the Sun.

All three books were written by
young authors. Three basic simil-
arities are to be found in their
themes. The underlying idea is
that of betrayal, although minor
themes of lust and of passing
others in some form (as in cars
On the Road) appear on the sur-
face. The reason for this common
thought may be found in the pic-
aresque novel, the source of the
three books.

The second related theme is sor-
row, which is often personified as
in the heroine of Bonjour Tristesse.
This idea is closely related to the
third; the reference to the end of
the world and a second coming,
which is apparent in the three nov-
els.

Sorrow is the result of a fear of
the apocolyptic end of the world—
the threat of the bomb. The real
sorrow of this attitude, said Mr.
Ashmead, is to be found overtly at
the end of Kerouac’s book. Terror
of the bomb is not found in blow-
ing up the people but in destroy-
ing the bridges and the roads.

Fear, Mr. Ashmead™ concluded,
results in loss of faith. As Faulk-
ner phrased the problem the vital
question is, “When will I be blown
up?” Fear results in lust because
a true act of love demands cour-
age, All that.is left for this “beat”
generation are victories without
hope and lives without value.
“Man’s puny inexhaustible voice
is the result in these three nov-
els.”



Hinton Advocates

Suspending Tests:

“I do not see what is going to
happen to us unless we give up
the arms race, It takes a long time
to stop when you are going full
speed ahead.” This statement was
made by Mrs. Carmelita Hinton in
her talk in the Common Room last
Monday evening. as

Geology Field Trip Goes on the Rocks;
Rain Dampens Brachiopods, Not S pirits

by Betsy Levering

Quite early Friday morning, a
.sizeable congregation of students,
armed with pickaxes, girded with
collecting bags (labeled Army
Lightweight Service Mask), and
overloaded with the inevitable ac-
coutrements scurried across’ the
Wissahickon Schist (ordovician) to
Pem Arch and onto waiting buses.

This was the Geology 101 Field
Trip in earnest,

The.first-day—went- almost with-
The Triassic lowland
followed the Piedmont as predict-
ed, and the Shawangunk (some-
times known as the Tuscarora)
sandstone and conglomerate held
up Blue Mountain as it has for
several years. The weather had a
“hail to thee blythe spirit” air,
Beth Alexander and her guitar
emitted many a hillbilly air, and
a number of formations disappear-
ed into —yes—the air.

Blood Curdling Cléavage

In the slate belt, all clamored |:

forth to be led by Dr. Watson and

Dr. Dryden to the edge of a for-

difference between bedding and
cleavage, of the kalyx drill, and

the 90 percent of the slate reject-'

ed, and of the sad decline of the
roofing slate industry. Little men
in little shacks on mountainous
(actually) ‘piles ‘of waste slate
amusedly split pieces for the ed-
ification of the academic.
Bloomsburg to Onandaga

That night, the Bloomsburg, up-

that order (not to mention glacial

looked like nothing else) the expe-

cellus (distinctly Devonian)... The
town was named Stroudsburg, Pa.;
the evening was strictly non-geo-

US Steel Grant
Will Go Toward
Biology Building

The 1958 grant made to Bryn
Mawr by the United States Steel
Foundation will be used to aid in
the completion of the new Biology
Building, Miss Katharine McBride
announced following the May lst
award of a capital grant to the
college from the Foundation’s 1958
Aid-to-Education program.

Bryn Mawr is one of twenty-
eight colleges to receive grants
ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 as
one part of a seven-feature pro-
gram which “represents an effort
to provide assistance to as many
institutions as possible and to
help maintain the vigor of the
leading institutions through sub-
stantial grants.”

tion’s major grants, Mr. Roger M.
Blough, chairman of the Board of

A variety of, moustaches, authen-
tic, colorful chemises and a per-
sistent musician were among the

more superficial charms of Jean
Anouilh’s comedy, Le Bal des Vo-
leurs, the theatrical offering of the
combined..Bryn Mawr and Haver-
‘ford French clubs, on May 2 and 3
in Skinner.

Living up to its promise, the
play was not particularly difficult
to understand, although the lines
were spoken quite quickly. How-
ever, the thoughtful resumé of
the plot was no doubt greatly ap-
preciated by many. Briefly, the
play dealt with three thieves who,
through one of their many dis-
guises, manage to be taken into
the household of a grande dame
who very conveniently has two
marriageable nieces, each of whom
loves a thief. Competition is pro-
vided by an obnoxious father-and-
son duo, who confuse everything,
‘1as does the English lord who is the
Lady’s cousin. The ball, which is
all a~mistake anyhow, precipitates
the climax and conclusion, wher.
one of the robbers cleans out the
house and takes a pretty niece
with him, to complement the paint-
ings. After much more confusion,
the hopeful father-and-son are tak-
en for the criminals. All ends
fairly happily as the robbers, re-
cognized as such by the Lady all
along, leave, but not before at
least one happy couple results.

One of the most striking things
about the play was the over-all
proficiency in French which the
actors showed. Of course, several
of them had French as their moth-
er tongue, a fact which might have
inspired the American segment of
the cast’ to improve their accent
and intonation, which were, I must
repeat, pleasing. Less effective
was the tendency on the part of
some to over do. To be sure, many
if not all the parts were meant to
be purely comic; however, there is
a faint yet important line of de-
marcation between comedy and
caricature. It was mainly the
voice and gestures in certain
scenes which helped to create the

The Fifth Annual Political Af-
fairs Conference of the Dartmouth
Undergraduate Council was held
on April 18-19. Its purpose was
to investigate the relationship of
science and government.

On Friday there was a panel
discussion which~served-as~an-in=|
troduction to the topics which
were to be discussed by student
panels the following day, . The
panel consisted of the Provost of
Dartmouth, a professor of chem-
istry at Dartmouth, a professor
of physics at MIT, a professor of
political science at MIT, and the
manager of technical recruiting
for General Electric.

The student delegates were of-
fered a choice of four discussion
groups in which they could par-
ticipate: the problems of security

Ars Longa: Vita Brevis <

A year-and a half ago,-Undergrad received a proposal
for the formation of an Arts'Council “to make possible a
strong program for the creative or ‘fine’ arts and to provide
an Ajssociation for the mutual benefit of autonomous clubs”.
At that time the new Arts Council was to have been made a
member of the then “big Five” assuming equal status with
League, A.A. and Alliance. After much debate an Arts Coun-
cil was instituted fortunately not as a member of the Big Six,
but as a rather informal structural and background organ-
ization for the progress of the lively arts on campus, and it
instantly went about proving its effectiveness by—providing
the first organized Arts Night in several years.

Since that time Arts Council has been one of the most
active and certainly one of the most noticed campus organi-
zations; another successful Airts Night, two exhibits of stu-
dent art, several films, Arts Forum, as a fine complement
to Current Events and other programs have proved that in-
deed such an organization can be of interest and value to
the college as a whole.

Over a period of years, even a casual observer might re-
mark that when changes are proposed on campus, and there
is whole-hearted support for any project, it usually can be
accomplished; the atmosphere seems favorable to develop-
ment and growth. But in the case of Arts Council, although
no one would deny the need of turning possibility to advan-
tage, one still might recommend a particular kind of growth.
The essence of the past success seems to have been flexibil-
ity, and it might seem that the future lies in the same direc-
tion. We do not propose Arts Council per se as a model for
all organizations, or as a direct substitute for ipso factoism;
and yet the structure of any association ought to be suitable
and directly pertinent to its own needs and to those of the
campus. This is a state commonly found in beginnings, but
one which with growth, age and the increasing complexities
of organization and sub-organization is liable to be lost.
Arts Council is still new enough to preserve a very function-
al valid structure. It has managed to create its own balance
of spontaneous interest and organization-when-needed for
its own unique answer to the problems and needs which call-
ed it into-existence. Arts Council has imposed itself in no
place; but it has received the attention and applause of all

‘inally
realize they were interested.









One of the columns which ap-
peared in the College News at ir-
regular intervals during the years
1917-1919 featured a bespectacled
13-year-old genius named Little
Rachel, who frequently visited the
campus where she expected to be
living very shortly. The following
column, reprinted from the Janu-

ary 1918 issue of the News, gives |.

a picture of the college which will
no doubt furnish valuable informa-
tion to anyone planning to write
a three-volume history of Bryn
Mawr. It is to be noted that
Rhoads is not mentioned, because
it did not yet exist. As for Lisy-
fran, it was apparently a tempor-
ary undergraduate residence like
East House, discontinued not long
after the publication of this article,
probably because no one could pro-
nounce it. Most of the. other al-
lusions must remain a mystery.

Little Rachel Visits the Campus

“That is the owl gate, Little
Rachel,” said Aunt Desdemona,
as they drew near the campus. It
was one o’clock, and an atmosphere
of feverish unrest lay over the
college.

“I suppose those are the owls,”
rejoined Little Rachel, who was
slightly near-sighted. She was
watching the figures flying with
kaleidoscopic rapidity from one
side of the arch to the other.

“No, indeed, It is the hash.
They are students, beating down
upon their prey.” :

“It must be the rush hour,” said
Little Rachel.

“It is, but when you are older
you will learn that the rush hours
are not so vital in Rockefeller as
the wash hours,” replied her aunt,
as they passed up the campus.

“How can you tell where Rocke-
feller ends and Pembroke - be-
gins?” queried Little Rachel.

“The air is the chief distinction,”
was the answer,

“Denbigh on your right is com-
fortable and homelike,” continued
‘Aunt Desdemona. “A cross sec-
tion would show you the rabbit
hutch, the chicken coop, and fiction
library.”

ATES









Little Rachel looked curious, but
she was too ‘well-bred to inter-
rupt.

“Lisyfran, seen from the rear
elevation of Denbigh,’! went on her
aunt,” is a transient house. By
many it is called the duplex apart-
ment, because its government is a
dual monarchy.”

“The next building, bristling
with gables, reminds me of war-
like Heorot,” said Little Rachel,
who planned to take Anglo-Saxon
for her second science,

“You are right, only it is the
war-like Merion,” replied Aunt
Desdemona, “The next is Radnor.
The rooms there are almost total-
ly unused, except the dining room.
The affections of the natives have
been alienated to the Library.”

“Yet it seems attragtiye,” said
Little Rachel. Ba

“The outside of the halls we
have just viewed,” said her aunt,
“is entertaining, but the inside is
instructive.”

Interfaith

“The Roots of My Faith” is the
topic for the chapel service this
Sunday. Rabbi. David M. Wice
will speak upon the basic tenets
of the Jewish faith.

Rabbi Wice earned his B.A. and
M.A. at Washington and Lee Uni-
versity. He distinguished himself
there by being elected a member
of the Phi Beta Kappa and Kappa
Phi Kappa. He was also awarded
an honorary Doctorate of Divinity.

Rabbi Wice went on to attend
the Hebrew Union College in Cin-
cinnati for rabbinic training. Sev-
eral years after having been or-
dained as a rabbi, he was given the
honorary degree, Doctor of He-
brew Letters.

In his career Rabbi Wice has
been rabbi at Temple Israel in
Omaha, Nebraska, and rabbi of
Temple B’nai Jeshurun in Newark,
New Jersey. Temple B'nai has the
oldest and largest congregation in
New Jersey.

‘At present Rabbi Wice is serv-
ing at the historic congregation,
Rodeph Shalom, in Philadelphia.



Dances Of India
Slated For H’ford

On Saturday, May 17th, at 8:00
pm. in Roberts Hall, The Haver-
ford Students’ Council will sponsor
a program in which Miss Pormila
Coelho will present “Ritual Dances

of India.” Miss Coelho has been
in this country since September,
1955, studying at the University
of Pennsylvania, where she is do-
ing research in a comparative
study of early Buddhist art in
South Asia.

The dances given will -be. in
three classical styles of India —-
Manipuri, Kathak and _ Bharat.
Through these styles, the religious
theme, illustrated by myth, is. ex-
pressed by the dancer who uses
the technique of mood and gesture
in a rhythm which runs from the
melodious to the vigorous.

Miss Coelho has danced before
in this country and in Europe. In
1957, at Paris, she danced at
UNESCO and was delegate of the
Indian Embassy at Paris to a
Student Festival held at Tours.
Besides various cultural organiza-
tions in Paris sponsored reéitals
of her dances. In the United
States, she danced at the Festival
of Nations held at Philadelphia
in 1956,

The program, given in aid of
the Montessori Nursery School,
Adyar Madras, India, will include
a display of saris as well as danc-
ing. Advance tickets may be ob-
tained through Mrs. George Coel-
ho, 8 College Lane, Haverford,
MIdway 2-6429.

However, she was. usually
convincing, and excellent when she
-henpecked. poor Lord Edgar.

The three robbers were surpris-
ingly good individually and collect-
ively. Jean-Charles Meyer, as
Peterbono, the ringleader, showed
particular ability, it seemed to me;
he conveyed a more varied range
of mood than perhaps any>one sin-
gle character. His asides to the
audience or to one of his “gang,”
too, were quite subtly done for an
amateur. Pierre Gault, as Hec-
tor, the dashing one, quite looked
the part, and made effective use of
props and makeup to add to his
believability. However, much more
than a charming thief he does not
seem to be, and is probably not
meant to be. ‘Nikita Lary as Gus-
tave, on the other hand, possessed
somewhat more scope, especially
in the scenes during which he was
conscience-stricken.

Lolin :Casanelles and Natalia
Gortchacow, as the two lovely
ladies, occasionally turned into
merely attractive props; usually,
however, there was more than a
little spark of life in them, In the
scene of the actual robbery, Na-
talia as Juliette, had a chance
to really come “alive,” which she
did mainly through effective facial
expressions and wild gestures.
(She was tied to a chair.) Here
again, however, the danger of pro-

ness,



which is so often found in comedy
of this: kind, loomed large, some-
thing for which the actors were
not entirely to blame. Lolin
got away from this temporarily
when she brought across the wist-
fulness and sophisticated melan-
choly of Eva.

A word about the technical as-
pects of Bal des Voleurs: the sets,

one of a garden, the other of a
drawing room, were simply but
well done. Particularly impress-
ive were the props in the latter
set, including candlesticks (al-
though fake bronze, to the regret
of the thieves) crystal and appar-
ently real cigars. Cdstuming, too,
was especially effective. Perhaps
this was due to the ingenuity of
those in charge of costumes, per-
haps to the current, convenient
vogue of the sack dress; in any
case, the ladies were colorfully
and attractively clad, and the gen-
tlemen (who were occasionally
ladies, too) changed their costumes
with rapidity and finesse.

Having picked Bal des Voleurs
apart, I will hasten to add as a
conclusion that in spite of any
flaws it might have had, it should
not be looked at from the specific
viewpoint, but rather as an in-
trinsic whole. After all, a comedy
means to amuse and entertain,
through plot situation, characteri-
zation, and purely superficial de-
vices such as costuming,

Rain Among the Trilobites

Early (again!) the next morn,
as. hammers hacked at a bed of
fossils long overdue for discovery,
the small rain down did rain.
Daunted? Nothing! Absorbed in
the disengagement of corals, crin-
oids, brachiopods and _ trilobites,
what matter a little added absorp-
tion? Wet rocks, however, caused
one, Ainfortunate lass to sit-slide
down, a slope, protesting mean-
while’ that she was perfectly all
right,

The mist persisted. But so did
the scientific doggedness and_in-
tegrity of the group. Most piled
out at every rain-besmattered stop,
to seek out a spiroferdisjunctus,
to peer into a gorge, and even to
stand high on a plateau where a
view should have been.

The Majestic in Tamaqua

Saturday night found the geolo-
gists (the term is used advisedly)
ensconced in a hotel named The
Majestic in the coal-mining town
of Tamaqua, Pa, The town’s mov-
ing picture theatre -was in the
same building, on the first floor.
Remarked Dr. Watson, “If your
room is over the sound track,
you’re out of luck.”

Activities that night varied from
the movie, which. had excellent
shots of the basin and range prov-
ince, with its horizontal sediments
and Navaho sandstone (a Western

‘accommodates



to the uninitiated), to the town’s
Saturday night dance, from all re-
ports a rather lively affair.

Soaked Coal and Strip Mining

Sunday brought no finer weath-
er. The party slogged through
soaked coal dust to view strip
mining and pursue quartz crystals
and fool’s gold. Lunch was served

Dampened Spirits

Home to our highly metamor-
phosed bedrock. Dampened (liter-
ally, but, heaven forbid, not figur-
atively) spirits were further
weighted by impedimenta, original
and acquired. One girl, arriving
at her dorm was asked, “Did you
bring back a lot of fossils?”
“Tons!” she answered. And meant
it.

They said it couldn't be done . . . a cigarette with
such an improved filter .. »with such exciting taste.

L&M’s patented filtering process electrostatically
places extra filtering fibers crosswise to the stream
of smoke . . . enabling today’s L&M to give you—
puff by puff —less tars in the smoke than ever
before. Yet L@M draws easy .. . delivering you the
clean rich taste of the Southland’s finest cigarette
y_tobaccos. The best tasting smoke you’ll ever find.

Trustees said: “Such aid. when
provided by many sources could
well be the means of assuring for
the future of America those intel-
lectual conditions required to
meet both our hopes and respon-
sibilities. For the tasks ahead we
shall need both our great public
and our great private institutions;
and since the public universities
have substantial regular sources
of income to cover many of their
needs, providing support for the
leading private universities be-
comes in these times an urgent
concern.”

what we really need. The AEC,
according to Mrs. Hinton, is in a
difficult position because it is ask-
ed to develop, test, and assess the

damage which the bomb does. With
this kind of a set-up the evaluation
of damage may not be objective,
Mrs. Hinton remarked.

A clean bomb, Mrs. Hinton re-
vealed, is very expensive to pro-
duce, but even if we had a clean
bomb Russia and the other coun-
tries probably would still- have the
regular type of bomb.

In answer to the question of
whether we can trust. the Russians,
she asked another, “Can they trust
us?” She’ termed U.S. polar
flights “very dangerous.”

Mrs. Hinton also related some
of her experiences in the “Walks
for, Peace,” several of which she
has participated in.
