Chapel Committee

Requests New

Independent Organizational Status

By Sandra Grant
Chairman, Chapel Committee

Two years ago the Chapel Com-
mittee asked the Undergraduate
Association to consider its position
on campus and to discuss the pos-
sibility of giving Chapel Commit-
tee its own charter as an autono-
mous organization. Considered by
the Undergrad Board and other
members of the College, the matter
was tabled for a time to make cer-
tain that the Committee’s rapid
rate of growth and expansion at
that time would continue over a
period of years and was not a tem-
porary boom.

This year Chapel Committee is
again raising its bid for autonomy.
It proposes a .new organizational
status on a par with League, Alli-
ance, and AA—and a new name:
Interfaith Association. Both
changes are descriptive of its pres-
ent program and position on cam-

mare atha tho atixzen af nu

‘yey
alteration of its position.

As it now stands, the Committee
is a committee of the Undergradu-
ate Association, and theoretically
it is responsible to Undergrad rath-
er than ‘directly responsible to the
campus. Chapel Committee’s posi-
tion is analogous to that of Self-
Government in that the Directors
of the College and Administration,
vitally concerned in these matters,
have elected to hand over full au-
thority and responsibility to the
students, feeling that the students
could profit from handling such
areas themselves. The Religious
Life Committee of the Board of
Directors meets with the Chapel
Committee once a year for discus-
sion of policies and plans, and the
entire funds of the Committee are
appropriated by the trustees
through this body. However, we
are in no technical way “responsi-
ble” to the Religious Life Commit-
tee.

Functionally, the Chapel Com-
mittee actually operates as an “as-
sociation” rather than as an Under-
grad “committee.” It is. not re-
sponsible to Undergrad in any real
way. Its chairman is elected by an
all-college vote; it has reps elected
from each hall. Perhaps most per-

| tinent, it offers a regular weekly
and diversified program which ap-
peals to various groups on campus
at various levels. This is impor-
tant in considering the growth of a
committee, which at a fetiner time
in its history felt itself so narrow
and limited in scope that it chose
to go under Undergrad to reach the
student body. This is no longer
necessary. The Committee has en-
joyed a rapid rate of growth in re-
cent years. Its outlook now is to-
ward the campus as a whole. One
factor which has encouraged this
broadened outlook is the one desire
of the Directors that we must fol-
“| low, ie., that there be no divisive
dahcaninationn) groups on campus.
Incidentally, the Committee hap-
pens to be composed of a large
cross-section of students, repre-
senting wide variation in major
subjects, religious affiliation, and
participation in other campus ac-
tivities. .

organizational status would be the
following: 1) a constitution writ-
ten.for. the association,..2) the
chairman, who is now a non-voting
member of the Undergraduate
Council, would have a vote (The
Undergrad Council is a co-ordinat-
ing body composed of the heads of
organizations and is no more close-
ly associated with Undergrad As-
sociation than it is with the other
four organizations.) 3) the chair-
man would attend College Council
meetings. A point of some inter-
est might be that, since we are fi-
nanced completely by the Religious
Life Committee, Chapel Committee
will not be included under Com-
mon Treasury should it obtain a
change in status. As shown above,
there will be little need for any
functional changes in policy or
program. This organizational
change would serve to clarify the
position of the present group on
campus.

College Theatre Announces The Cast
Of ‘Measure For Measure’’; Dec. Play

By Gretchen Jessup

The College Theatre and Haver-
ford Drama Club are now rehears-
ing, as their current play in pro-
juction, William Shakespeare’s
Measure For Measure. It will be
‘resented on the evenings of De-
cember 8th and 9th, in Goodhart
Auditorium.

The play is one of Shakespeare’s
complex later comedies; chronolog-
ically, it comes just before the
zreat tragedies. Both the Haver-
ford and the Bryn Mawr drama
groups feel it to-be one of their
most important, as well as most
challenging productions.. Pat Mo-
ran, president of College Theatre,
feels that it will be an opportunity,
for the college audience, to see that
“Plays such as this and the Trojan
Women last year are alive, modern
because they were never old and of
universal implication,” dnd for the
College Theatre to work with great

ean verse, and a large cast, the
play is being rehearsed over a six-
week period, instead of the “usual
three or four.

Fine Play

Mr. Robert Butman, director of
the play, said that he feels Meas-
ure For Measure is a “terribly
fine play, much overlooked,” main-
ly because its bawdy parts were
“too. much for the Victorians,”
who would not stage it. However,
Mr. Butman remarked that there
have ‘been several productions of it
recently, at Stratford, Ontario,
Stratford, Connecticut, and else-
where.” r

igs.

Mr. Butman explained that
Measure For Measure is a play
with definitely two levels of action
and meaning. While at one level it
is a very funny comedy concerning
Isabella, Angelo, and Claudio; love,
men’s evasions of marriage, and



women’s espousal of it, at another

level it is full of universals. “It
is about God, sin, and redemption.”
The College Theatre production
of the play will therefore “be
half symbolic, and half realistic,”
Mr. Butman said. He promises ‘in-
teresting staging for Measure, say-

for sets,” and that the costumes
are to be brilliant ones, against a
subdued background.

The leading roles of the play are
cast. as follows: Vincentio, the
Duke, Bill Tysqy; Isabella, Pat Mo-
ran; Angelo, Ken Geist; Mariana,
Ellie Childs; Claudio, Eric Kosgoff;
Juliet, Nina Hoeffel; Escalus,
Frank Conroy; Mistress Overdone,
Patty Ferguson; Lucio, Andy Mil-
ler; Francisca, Kathy Kohhas; and
Pompey, Roger Hardy. Others in
the cast include: Mitchell Clogg,
Morgan Longbothan, Keith Brad-
ley, Eric Schoonover, Charlie
Knight, Dave Morgan, Jim Moody,
Brownie. Spear, Peter Rockwell,
Mark Weddner, Dick Rauch, and
Tim Houston. The production of]
the play will be guided by. stage
manager, Sandy Scott; lights man-
ager, Dick Rauch; set designers,
Peter Rockwell and Tawn Stokes;
assistant to the director, Chris
Wallace; and director, Mr. Robert
Butman.

refugees in Austria stop WUS pre-
pared distribute immediately all

In answer to the urgent request
‘for aid the Undergraduate Council |
has decided to conduct a special ©
one-day drive for funds to help the
Hungarian students, heroes of the :
original revolution which has since
been quashed by the Russians.

Thursday, November 15, the class
reps in each hall will collect cash
only which will be sent to aid these
refugees in Austria. Members of”
the faculty and staff who wish, to
contribute to this special drive
should give their donations to Miss
Biba, in Taylor Hall.

This drive is in answer ‘to the
urgent need for funds, and is in
no, way related to the USF drive
conducted by League and Alliance.

USF is the official drive for con-
tributions on the Bryn Mawr cam-
pus. This drive, which is being
conducted after Thanksgiving va-
cation contributes money to many
American and world wide organi-
zations. This year for the first
time students will be able to ear-
mark their USF contributions for
the causes they prefer.

Hungary, the gateway between
Europe and Asia, has been sub-

liberty and freedom. Although

An Emergency

Undergraduate Council is conducting a special drive here
tomorrow to raise money for the WUS emergency fund for
Hungarian student refugees. We feel that every student
should make the most of this opportunity to help tangibly
those who lost so much fighting in the name of freedom.

The U, N.

The recent creation of dhe U.N. international police:
force to be sent to Egypt has accentuated the importance of |
the United Nations Organization itself. Unfortunately, the
U.N. is a body many of us take for granted or write off in:
our minds as ineffective and not worth serious consideration.

In the light of the last two weeks’ events, however, it is:
the U. N. and not any one nation that emerges as the world’s
hope for peace. We can no longer smugly tell ourselves “It:
is the Russians who are the only threat to peace”, for it was.
Britain and France that bombed a country other than their
own. Nor can we say Israel wants peace and Egypt wants
war or Israel wants war and Egypt wants peace. The past
fortnight has shown us that a single country will not hesitate
to use force, especially ‘to attain its own version of “peace”.
Peace can only be worked out by a collective body such as the
U. N. where no one nation can dictate its policies.

~The U.N. police force is a great achievement. For the
first time, we will see an international army, not.a national

one, maintaining the peace.. Let us make note of an import- |

ant distinction: the force is being sent to Egypt, not to fight, |
but to preserve a peace; to stand watch, with rifle at the side
and not in the hand. Unfortunately, peace in the Middle East
is at the moment only a cease-fire. But that cease-fire is a
child of the U. N., a proof vat the organization is still a vital
and effective one.

World War III could well have started one week ago.
There were perhaps only two preventive factors: the H-Bomb
and the U.N. Even as simple a process as “talking things
out” which is exactly what happened at the General Assem-

bly, should not be discounted as a softening influence on in-.

ternational tempers. And it was the channelling of public
opinion through the U. N. that changed the positions of Rrit-
ain, France, Egypt and Israel in the Middle East and fecus-
sed unfavorably on Russia’s bloody actions.in Hungary. Why
_ does Russia refuse to permit U. N. observers into Hungary?







At Jeast partially because : on,.and the
world’s publie criticism of, her. fuerant violation of the hu-
man principles on which the U.N. is based.

Sunday night, Senator William Knowland (R-Calif.), on
“Meet the Press” proposed that the Soviet Union be expelled
from the U.N. for its actions in Hungary. Perhaps Mr.
Knowland should be reminded that the withdrawal and ab-
sence of Italy and Germany from the League of Nations prior
to World War II did not bring peace. A United Nations with-
out Russia would no longer be a world organization. It would
be an organ of the West. And much as Mr. Knowland may

Movies: Giant

by Lynn Deming:

George Stevens’ much publicized
production of Giant, while certain-
ly well-directed, is an unfortunate
example of a good book transform-

ed into an indifferent film. In
CinemaScope, Edna Ferber’s novel
has become a long and rather

|jumpy sequence of scenes portray-
ling the ups and downs of a mar-

ital relationship and the rise to
power ofa young, shiftless farm-
hand (Jett Rink). The story-lines
are interwoven with digs at both
the prejudite-ethics of Texan plu-
tocracy and the destructive effect
of ruthless monopoly upon the
farmhand turned millionaire, all of
which is presented against a back-

|drop of the suitably impressive,

although somewhat tedious, Texas
|desert plains. —

Rock Hudson, as a well-mean-
ing, long-legged, and slightly slow-
witted Westerner, does a -surpris-
ingly adequate job. Elizabeth Tay-
lor, the Southern belle with stam-
ina and common sense who becomes
his wife, is quite convincing, but
manages (unfortunately for the
movie), to look rather gorgeous
even with graying hair at fifty.
Both are more interesting when
young than middle-aged, for at first
they seem able to project a certain
nar eoap of light humor as newly-

s living in the middle of. one-
half million acres of Texan cow-
jland.. Perhaps due to the script,
they are markedly less intriguing
as a seasoned couple whose lives
center typically ebout their chil-
dren, their “farm,” and their mem-
ories.

The picture would have gained
jin pace by greater emphasis on the
career of Jett Rink, very striking-
ly portrayed by the late James
Dean. Unfortunately, we are fa-
vored at first with only occasional
glimpses of the drawling, diffident,
and lazy workhand, and later with
only one or two reminders of his
imminent success, (such as shots of
him smiling shyly at his new oil-
wells). A subsequent transforma-
tion into the slick, moustached, dis-
sipated millionaire seems a little
too abrupt.

Arts’ Council Will
Aid Club Finances

by Gretchen Jessup
and Pat Moran

(Continued from last weeh)

The Arts Council would be com-
posed of the elected leads of the
clubs concerned, with a chairman,
elected by the college, from quali-
fied and interested members of the
clubs, as the Council’s director. The
chairman would, in addition to her
Arts, Council duties, be the coun-
cil’s representative on the Under-]
grad Board.

The specific aims of the Council
and the function of the Chairman
would be to:

a) Schedule outside speakers—
critics, practicing writers, paint-
ers; actors—musical programs, and
if possible, exhibits of interest to
the clubs of A. C. and to the cam-
Here there would
be the opportunity for clubs both
to suggest and to obtain lecturers
and programs now beyond their
reach, and for the individual stu-
dent, instead of merely blesting
plaintively about the lack of fine
arts events, to have an effective
voice in their planning, and to par-
ticipate in them. Workshops would
be arranged in the various arts.

b) Coordinate the program and
projects of the clubs to achieve
the greatest effect; to schedule
meaningfully rather than with
plethoric haphazardness.

c) Organize the groups financ-
ially so that, while each woul op-
erate on a separate budget, the
clubs could draw upon a common
reserve fund, to support an activ-
ity of campus-wide interest, or to
prevent the extinction of a small
group at a moment of misfortune.
One season’s vicissitudes alone
should not cause the death of any
club.

d) Establish within the college
a program of artistic activity that,
having a reserve of strength, ideas,
and leadership in the A.C., could
dare to be experimental.

e) Expand present programs
which call for it. Arts Night, es-
pecially, can be developed into a
culmination of a year’s creativ-
ity by A. C., a genuinely exciting
example of mclint students at Bryn
Mawr can do in all phases of the|-.



film is obviously important from a
box-office standpoint, and curiosity
as to his final offering to the pub-
lie undoubtedly accounts for the
overflowing audiences at each
showing of Giant. To this review-
er James Dean’s performance seems
especially successful in its sugges-

sion beneath an outward nonchal-
ance; by the end of the film, it is
obvious that his talent has reached





tion of bitterness and restless ten- |

creative arts. Pe.

The effort throushaat the ‘pro-
gram-would be to achieve quality
rather than merely number. Its
success would depend upon the in-
terest and energy given A. C. by
the clubs. They are ready to be
extremely generous.

Letters to the Editor

Krumbein Refutes

Ghida Shabandar

To the Editor:

As an American, first, last and
foremost, I staunchly believe in the
right to individual opinion. Opin-
ionated though, hardly depicts the
unilateral, narrow view with which
Miss Shabandar approaches the
Mid-East crisis in her article. of
November 7.

At the close of World War II
the Jewry of Europe had been di-
minished by 50% through brutal
murder and mass genocide. Mil-
lions of others were homeless and
desolate. The decision of the U.N.

to partition Palestine was either a
direct or indirect result of the
tragedy which had befallen these
peoples.

As a homeland, the Palestine
area was selected for multifarious
reasons. First a large number of
Jews resided there already, and
secondly this was part of the world
through which Jewish heritage and
custom had its genesis. My opin-
ion was—as was the opinion of
many others at the time—that it
was a mistake to select this spe-
cific site for a Jewish state sur-
rounded by people belligerent ‘to
the Western ideas which were des-
tined to be adopted by Israel. How-
ever, the majority of the world
agreed to this partition and the
state of Israel was born.

_ Prior, to the creation of Israel
Palestine could hardly be consid-
ered ideal. It was neither produc-
tive nor fruitful. In size Israel
represents _less..than..3% ofthe
Arab world, and contains 2 million
people compared with 160 million
Arab nieghbors. Yet Israel’s man-
ufacturing, shipping, education,
and standard of living far sur-
passes those of her Arab neighbors.

I agree that the United States
mid-eastern policy has not been a
positive decisive one.

Col. Nassar is an unscrupulous
dictator who has never been will-
ing ‘to go along with the U.N. un-
less it served -his own purposes. I
do not condone the actions of Great
Britain, France and Israel in its
latest move, however, under a
shadow of threat, and with a tor-
turous barb in its side (Egyptian
marauding bands) it is feasible
that Israel’s position would soon
become untenable.

Miss Shabandar.. states ¢Wat
Western aid has’ gone primarily to
Israel. Aid from the west has been
given to most Mid-East countries
including Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Jor-
dan, and Israel. With the excep-
tion of Israel these countries have
received aid from the USSR also.

Miss Shabandar makes the fol-
lowing statements and I quote,
“That the creation of Israel was
an_ outright violation of interna-
tional and human law. Its history
has. been stained by all kinds of
criminal, bloody and aggressive
acts against its Arab neighbors.
Its claim to democracy is shatter-
ed by Zionists’ declaration of their
racial and religious . superiority.”
Let me refute: Prior to 1947. Brit-
ain held the mandate on Palestine,
an area which contained both Jew-

i ab populations.

In pe me to the difficulty in
-reconciling—-these—opposing—-groups
to each other, there was now a
definite need for a place for ‘the
millions of homeless Jews to go.

Through the same _ international

‘|law, mentioned above and through

a profound, genuine and humane
sympathy for these peoples Pales-
tine was partitioned. In this re-
spect, no Arab land was in fact
taken. Certainly no one has a bet-
ter right to utter cries of criminal,-
bloody and aggressive acts than
does the remnant of Jewry now
struggling toward a democratic
state in which they can live in
peace, and occupy an equal, not
@ superior or inferior. position.

lrene Wolk Reviews Russian Trip,
Her Impression Of Soviet People

By ‘Irene Wolk

My trip to Russia this past sum-
mer lasted three weeks and I was
travelling alone. It is both advan-
tageous and disadvantageous to
travel alone. It is advantageous be-
cause the people of any country
are more likely to be friendly to a
single person travelling in their
country whereas they usually shy
away from foreigners in large
groups. It is disadvantageous be-
cause travelling alone in Russia
costs twice as mich as travelling
in a group.

It was not my choice to travel
alone. There were no groups leav-
ing West Germany where I had
studied last year. The separation
of Germany into an east and a
west zone is a-hard thing for many
West Germans to accept. This may
have been why no West Germans
had registered for a trip to Rus-
sia, the country many blame for
the separation of their country.

The train left from East Berlin,
a rather depressing city whose for-
mer beauty was transformed into
large heaps of rubble ‘during the
last, war and is now in the very
slow process of being rebuilt. My
travelling companions were stu-
dents from East Germany, two
boys and a girl who were going
to study in Russia. There is no
segregation in the sleeping com-
partments between boys and girls.

These students did not seem sat-
isfied with their way of life. They
cursed the Russian music which
was constantly blaring through the
sound box in our compartment as
it was impossible to turn it off.
Their summer vacation had lasted
only six weeks (their only other
vacation being a week at Christ-
mas). The students were not per-
mitted to travel outside the Iron
Curtain (as if they had time for
it!). On the other hand they en-
joyed certain privileges common to
all students in Russia. Their edu-
cation and their trip home had
been financed by the government.
There was enough left over from
their monthly allowance to enable
them to attend the theater and
concerts. Weekends they were able
to go skiing near their school.

At Brest-Litovsk I was able to
wander around the city for six
hours while waiting for my train.
The city is now mainly a military
encampment. Truckloads of sol-
diers singing to guitar accompani-

- ment rumbled along the streets. It

was raining heavily but I decided
to visit a culture park anyway.
Every Russian city, as I was later
told, has at least one culture park.
Colorful posters decorated the park
showing the goals of the next five
year plan, while large bulletin
boards displayed illustrated in-
structions for the correct way to
brush one’s teeth, take a bath, and
fix one’s hair. .
Twoé Polish Women

My travelling companions on the
train to Kiev were two Polish wom-
en, one visiting her parents in Rus-
sia whom she hadn’t seen in fifteen
years (the Nazis had taken her
away from home during the war
to work in a forced labor camp),
and the other visiting her brother
; 7 :

eight years due to restrictions of
hich



German as sh
which is very similar to German.
She told me of the difficulties of
providing for her family in Poland.
Because she had never been train-
ed in any specialized work, she had
been forced: to do hard labor. In
addition to this she suffered from
anemia and other various and sun-
dry ailments. Though one may vis-
it a doctor free of charge, medicine
is very expensive in Poland be-
.eause it has to be. imported. . She

|requested that I get in touch with

her relatives in New York and
have them send her a package of
clothing which she could then sell
on the black market as the money
which she and her husband earned
was very inadequate.

The dining car in which I ate
provided an interesting experience
for both me and my travelling
companions who were mainly Rus-
sian soldiers. The heads of the

ajama-clad travelers all turned in
my direction when the news had
spread around that I was an Amer-
ican. My interpreter, who also
spoke Yiddish and in a sense look-
ad after me during the entire trip,
-ranslated for me the questions
that were pouring in from all sides.
So many were asked that I hardly
had a chance to ask any of my
ywn. “How do.-the workers live in
America?” “How many rooms do
they live in?” “Do the workers
attend culture classes after work?”
They seemed just as excited in
meeting and talking to an Ameri-
an as I was excited in meeting
ind talking to them. The preju-
lices and stereotyped ideas we had
of each other seemed to diminish
greatly toward the end of the eve-
ning.

Exhibit Of Prints
Now At Museum

The Philadelphia Museum of
Art is holding an exhibition “Great
Prints: 1440-1920” beginning No-
vember 17 and lasting for two
months. This group of over two
hundred prints was drawn from
the collection of the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts, now on
permanent deposit at the Arts
Museum.

The exhibition in substance, pro-
vides a survey of five hundred
years of print-making from the be-
ginning to the present day. Most
of the big names of the graphic
‘world are included such as Durer,
Rembrandt, Goya, Callot, Manteg-
na, but their representation has
been subordinated numerically to
make room for a large number of
lesser-known artists, whose work
is often very rare.

There are some scarce original
etchings by famous.-painters such
as Carvaggio, Elsheimer, Luca
Giordana, Guido Reni, Parmegin-
anino, ‘Guilio Campagnola, Ribera,
Oudry and Ingres.

Holyoke Newspaper and Trinity Tripod

Express Trends in Religious Integration|

by Rita Rubinstein

The integration of religion in
college life constitutes a controver-
sial debatable subject. There are
opposing views because of the wide
divergence in the backgrounds and
traditions of the institutions. On
our own campus religious activity
is not required of the student. The
Sunday evening Chapel Service
features speakers of all faiths and
attendance is voluntary. The fol-
lowing excerpts_are from articles
printed on campuses where chapel
attendance is compulsory. Both
Trinity and Mount Holyoke accept
students on a non-sectarian basis,
although the former is sponsored
by the Episcopal Church.

In The Trinity Tripod,-Dr. James
Candelet, Chairman of the Com-
mittee on Religious Life, comment-
ed on the work of his committee
at the installation of the Rev. J.
Moulton Thomas as Chaplain of
the College. His statements pre-
suppose one’s acceptance of the
principle of formal activities of
faith on campus.

“Being cognizant of the vital
role of religion in the program of
the liberal arts, college, and recog-
nizing also that such a college in
its true functioning emphasizes the
wholeness of education and of life,
in which religion and spiritual ap-
preciation are an ess€htial part,
President Jacobs on January 5,
1955, appointed an ad hoc commit-
tee of faculty members as the Com-
mittee on Religious Life.

“Indeed, it was given the widest
possible latitude in carrying its
work wherever the search might
lead. In this it was charged with
two tasks: First, to make thor-
‘ough explanation and analysis as

to know that four religious clubs
lare active on the Hartford cam-
toi: the Canterbury Club (Episco-
pal and Orthodox); the Hillel So-
ciety (Jewish); the Protestant
Fellowship and the Newman Club
(Catholic). —

A student’s letter to the editor
in The Mount Holyoke News, “Re-
ligion and Non-Conformity” re-
flected a different viewpoint.

“T would agree wth the state-
ment that the religious program
seems to fulfill the needs of the
majority most of the time. For
this reason I neither propose nor
expect a subversive or revolution-
ary reaction against worthwhile
tradition on campus. However, I
do detect a major inconsistency in
the system, and I would advocate
a serious reappraisal of the current
attitude toward the unconforming
freethinker (as opposed to the non-
thinker) ...

Whole Woman

“Mount Holyoke educates the
whole woman. That the whole,
well-adjusted woman is expected
to be a Christian and conform to a
standard of expression seems to
me inconsistent with our other
main purpose: a liberal, non-parti-
san education...

“J do not condone an education-
al program which encourages eith-
er superficial conformity or a com-
plete absence of contemplation.
Only the indolent and self-compla-
cent do not think. We should think,
and the college can help us to find
the time by requiring periods of
meditation. =

“However, it is artificial and
alarming that meditation has to be

opment of the religious life of

§We aim to educate our men

citing world in which we live;
to develop character which is the

tegrity, responsibility, and ju-
man understanding, with spirit-

ual values’.”

“A change in attitude toward the
free-thinker would be one indica-
tion of greater maturity. We should
strive to attain greater flexibility
and adaptation to the needs of all
students—or to include non-believ-
ers and orthodox believers both
within the majority that is “$atis-
fied by the present system. More
credit could be given to the indi-
vidual who does her own thinking.

“The exercise of civil liberties by
college and university students is
essential to their development as
participating members of a demo-
cratic community.” This is” the
theme of a 12-page pamphlet re-
leased by the American Civil Lib-
erties Union, titled “Academic
Freedom and Civil Liberties of
Students.”

Granting that educational insti-
tutions ,““can and must exercise
reasonable control over scholastic
life and . . . much of their general
activity,” the AICLU statement says
that schools and colleges are com-
mitted to “basic progressive with-
drawal of authority.”

“Students are taught to make
independent decisions based on
their increasing stock of knowl-
edge and, since we live in a democ-
racy, to assume increasing power
and responsibility as citizens —
both off and on the campus.”

The pamphlet declares that the

Chemist Speaks
On Disarmament

Dr. Charles Price, chairman of
|the chemistry department at the
‘University of Pennsylvania, in the
discussion sponsored by the Bryn
Mawr-Haverford International Re-
lations, Club, “Is _Disarmament.Un-
realistic?” asserted that disarma-
ment can be possible only if other
specific conditions are met. He
named these as economic and social
justice and universal acceptance of
non-violernitmeans.for the resolu-



can be no thoughts of disarmament
until peace is insured in the world.

According to Dr. Price, the U.N.
is the only practicable instrument
for achieving world peace. At pres-
ent, voluntary cooperation and
unanimous agreement (in the Se-
curity _Council)_are required of
that organization if it is to act ef-
fectively. As these principles do
not work in the world at large, the
organization should not be con-
demned for impotence, but rather
sovereignty should be delegated to
it. The speaker claimed that sur-
veys have shown that the Ameri-
can people are in favor of a more
powerful U.N. that would be this
effective instrument for maintain-
ing law and order and deterring
strife.

Disarmament has been discussed
since the end of World War II. Ad-
mittedly little has been done, but
the consensus should not be that
we are now starting from scratch.
While there has been no formal
U.N. .charter revision, the United
States itself adopt a policy of
heavier reliance upon the world or-
ganization. Dr. Price cited the re-
cent immediate use of the U.N. in
the Hungarian and Middle Eastern
crises as exemplary. He denounced
the old diplomacy, the bilateral
agreements and compacts. He also
suggested that economic aid be
channelled through the U.N., that
support for colonial peoples be
guided by principle rather than ex-
pediency, that a U.N. agency to
govern international waterways be
organized.

The fundamental problem is the
discovery of a faultless inspection
method, for we cannot now deter-

though we are able to detect ex-
plosions. Dr. Price hoped that an
authoritative agency of this kind

would promote international confi-
dence in disarmament. He hoped

AU Releases New Pamphlet
Defining Students Civil Liberties

post-war emphasis on national se-
curity has resulted in an “increas-
ing exercise of paternalism by col-
lege authorities and governing
boards over students.

“The AQLU believes that the
gains of national security from
such paternalism will prove large-
ly illusory while losses to freedom
and democracy are likely to be real
and substantial, If students re-
frain from joining organizations
and from other activities, out of
fear rather -than-out—of_conviction,
it may induce feelings of frustra-
tion and reservations about free-
dom that, in the long run, may un-
dermine their belief in and com-
mitment to democratic values .. .

“Human progress and democracy
depend upon the free contest of
ideas. This is as true on the cam-
pus‘as in the community at large.
We cannot wrap the student in
cotton wool to protect him against
the hazards of freedom and at the
same time habituate him to the
making of intelligent choices
among policies.”

The ACLU pamphlet sets forth a
number of guiding principles con-
cerning student organizations, stu-
dent publications on and off the
campus, student speeches and for-
um participation on and off the
campus, genera] disciplinary meth-
ods of schools and colleges and the

2. “Students should be free to
organize and join associations for
educational, political, social, relig-
ious, cultural, and other lawful
purposes.”

8. All student organizations may
be required to register with the
appropriate faculty student com-
mittee their names, purposes, by-
laws, affiliations, officers and activ-
ities but organizations should not
be required to file a list of mem-
bers,

“The names and officers...
should not, without the consent of
the individuals involved, be dis-
closed to any non-college person
or organization having no direct
and legitimate interest therein.”

4. “, . . it should be the proper
responsibility of schools and col-
leges to encourage students to
meet, organized, to speak and to
listen, to participate in independent
activity for political, religious, so-
cial and recreational purposes.”
When educational institutions feel
compelled to limit this freedom,
such limitations and restrictions
should be made known clearly in
advance.

5. While college journalism is
unique in that it is a kind of mo-
nopoly which requires special edi-
torial responsibility, the school and
college should avoid rigid and com-
plete control of publications. De-
spite the irritations and contro-

almost inevitably entails,” the in-

‘Hamlet’ Presented By Stratford Players
With Vague, Inconsistent Interpretation

By Eleanor Winsor

T. S. Eliot has written of Ham-
let: “So far from being Shakes-
peare’s masterpiece the play is
most certainly an artistic failure

. he has left in superfluous and
incongruous scenes .. . the versifi-
cation is variable.” Most certainly
the branch of the Stratford On-
tario Players which performed
Hamlet on Goodhart Stage last
Tuesday evening before an audi-
ence composed chiefly of students
from the neighboring prep schools
worked from a viewpoint agreeing
with Mr. Eliot’s.

Conventional conceptions of a
performance of Hamlet insist that
the central role be played with a
definite interpretation. One must
be a philosophical Hamlet, a crafty
Hamlet, a revengeful Hamlet or an
Oedipus-complex Hamlet. After a
fashion Mr. Hutt”s Hamlet man-
aged to suggest all these personal-
ities with the notable and lament-
able exception of the philosopher.

A utilitarian sneer symbolized
his melancholy, his disgust and

horror at his ‘mother’s guilt, his
attitude toward Polonius’s tedious-
ness, and perhaps even (and justi-
fiably) toward the audience’s mis-
placed sense of humor. For him
the soliloquies, the vacillations of
purpose were interruptions which
the script imposed upon his char-
acter portrayal. The result was
the utter lack of any tragic feel-
ing in connection with the charac-
ter of Hamlet.

The whole drama is not only a
personal tragedy, but also the trag-
edy of the Danish court, of corrup-
tion in a high place, but here only
crime and revenge were emphasiz-
ed. With the—lack—of—the—“tragic
flaw” the artistic reasons for trag-
edy were sacrificed to the machina-
tions of the-plot,

Within this small, rotten world
there should surely still have re-
mained some tie between Hamlet
and his mother; yet the acting of
Gertrude was so indefinite as to
blur the nature of her sentiments
and make it impossible for any
other person to touch her.

After two acts of confusion
Ophelia’s mad scene was refresh-
ingly direct. Her simplicity and
grace overcame the accumulated
complexities of character relation-

between stage and audience with
pathos and charm‘for the one clear
moment of tragic revelation in the
course of the: “tragedy.”

Most to be resented perhaps was
the deprivation of an opportunity
to hear Shakesperian verse well
spoken. The lines were rushed,
broken and awkward as the actors
rose to violent heights of emotion.
No actor gave the feeling that
there was poetry at his command.

Perhaps at times an inept per-
formance of a dramatic work is
more stimulating to thought than
one which is mediocre or even
merely “good.” For this reason
last week’s “Hamlet” was, although
tedious, rather “interesting.”

Wells Gives Talk
On-Recent Revolt

Common Room—November 12—

Noting that “George Orwell
should not have despaired”, Mr.
Roger Wells hade a survey of the
Polish and Hungarian situations
in “Earthquake in Eastern Europe”
in the Common Room Monday.

The 1956 earthquakes in Hun-
gary and Poland developed along
certain patterns. In the latter, the
revolution was kept in hand, large-
ly through the efforts of the ruth-
lessly Comm€nistic, but national-
istic, Gomulka. The spontaneous
Hungarian rebellion, however,
stormed out of control and met with
overwhelming Russian force:

According to Dr. Wells, the. re-
sults of the two revolutions are va-
ried. Although restoration of the
old system is improbable, it is
questionable whether the new Po-
lish government’ will succeed,
whether the “hard” ‘Molotov-like
leadership will reassert itself in
Russia, and whether Russia will
admit observers into Hungary.

Although it cannot act miltar-
ily, the United \States, Dr. Welles
noted, could act by proclaiming
that it. would recognize and aid
economically any newly-freed na-
tion, by being more consistent, and
iby the establishment of a foreign
policy which would be more than
merely a reaction to Soviet action.

“Experimental Analysis. Of -Behavior

Dr. B. F. Skinner lectured on
“The Experimental Analysis of Be-

hart Hall. Realizing that his audi-
ence would include first-year stu-
dents as well as men and women
versed in the field of psychology,
Dr. Skinner illustrated -his points
with slides, and held a short dis-
cussion period after the lecture.
To begin his lecture, Dr. Skinner
briefly traced.the history of what
is now called “the science of be-

ed experiments of the conditions
and influencing factors which af-
fect responses. Through these ex-
periments, it has become possible
to predict the “probability of re-
sponse” in a given situation.

Dr. Skinner continued to outljne
experimental methods through
which conclusions may be drawn.
Each of these methods includes the
study of a representative organism
in a controlled area, and necessi-
tates the use of actions which will
not prove fatiguing. In order to
record.the rate of_response in _rela-
tion to given re-enforcements, a
graph based on a “cumulative
curve” is used. © The re-enforce-
ments, which increase or decrease
the rate of response, are of two
types: positive and adversive.

It is possible, remarked Dr. Skin-
ner, to present the experimental
organism with two or more differ-
ent schedules of re-enforcement



99, and to observe the rapidity with

which the organism adjusts its re-
sponses. A high rate of adjust-
ment is true in nearly all such ex-
periments, although the rate itself
depends upon the complexity of the
schedule as well as upon the type
of organism submitted to multiple
schedules,

Some common experiments are
based upon the effects of motiva-
tion, drugs, and neurological stim-
uli. Such experiments, Dr. Skinner
cori@luded, increase the knowledge
concerning the type of response in
a specified environment.

Lab conditions, however, are
ideal and similar conditions cannot
be found outside the lab. Never-
theless, through improved _tech-
niques of control originating in the
lab, improvements can and will be
made in many. fields, including edu-
cation and government. The aim
of analytical experiments in behav-
ior, Dr. Skinner stressed, is to
“build a better world as well as
better men.”

Mindszenty.

How can one explain rationally
the behavior of those Hungarians
who, on the first day of the revolu-
tion, walked with hands above
their heads into machine gun fire
in order to inspire their followers
to fight and to lay down their lives
in turn; or that twelve-year-old
girl who blew up a Russian tank
by tying hand grenades around her
waist and jumping in front of it?
Her blonde hair has since become
the symbol of the revolution.

How can one explain the action
of people who, when the Russians
moved in convoys of freight, trains
for deportation, tore up the rail;
road tracks under continual gun
fire?

Even in the face of these new
Asian hordes and of such inhum-
an atrocities as cry out to the basic
decency of every man, the Hun-
garians preserve not only a high
morale but also retain their sense
of humor. It was announced on a
shortwave station that the Russian
soldiers were frantically searvhing
for a canal as they had been told
that they were going to fight the
Fascists at the Suez, whereupon
the Hungarians consoled them by
pointing out the small canal be-
tween the Danube and the Tisza
River.

I cannot be impartial on the sub-
ject of the Hungarian revolution,
‘because T-tived ander Russian-eon-
munist rule in Budapest for two
years. I am, therefore, more sen-
sibly affected by the situatior. and
by. the concrete reaction to it; the
Red Cross relief funds poured into
Hungary at the reception of five
thousand refugees into this coun-
try. These constitute at least a
partial response to Mindszenty’s
terse appeal: “Drowning men do
not need messages.”
