speakers will be eating their meals

in the»halls, and she hopes. that-|

the students will take the oppor
tunity to ask them questions and
discuss with them.

J. Robert Oppenheimer, who
gave a formal address on Nov. 1!
at Haverford, spoke informally to!
a smaller group the following day
in the Haverford Common Room.
Approximately 60 students from
Bryn Mawr, as well as Haverford,
asked questions on everything
from the most specific problems
about atomic power to the most
general problems concerning world
affairs.

Throughout the. discussion Mr.

dent Katharine McBride and by
the Woodrow Wilson’ Foundation
of New York.

The conference will take place
Jan. 5 and 6 at Bryn Mawr, where
Mr. Wilson began his teaching ca-
reer in 1885, the jyear the somes
opened. /

The theme of the conference will

Conferences Planned

According to Mr. August Heck-
scher, President of the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation of New York,
more than 130 colleges and univer-
sities in 42 states have made plans
to sponsor academic conferences
during 1956 in observance of the
Wilson Centennial, which is to cul-
minate Dec. 28, 1956, on the 100th
anniversary of his birth. These
are to be based on various phases
of the centennial theme: “Freedom
for Man—A World Safe for .Man-
kind.” :

McBride released portions of the
first annual report made by Dr.
James E.-Rhoads; who-was presi-

nce J.B. Oppenheimer Speaks Informally;
Emphasizes International Cooperation



Courtesy Haverford News

Oppenheimer Chats With Haverford’s President White

Oppenheimer emphasized the im-
, portance of an altruistic collabor-
jation among the free and partial-
| ly free countries of the world. The
lu, S. should help the backward
countries to develop, though we
may be hindered by.our own lack
of knowledge, and unwelcomed by
those we are trying to assist.
“Change is painful, and in change
some things die.”

Several students were interested
in Oppenheimer’s views about
American policy in the Korean
War. He answered that our deci-
sion to hold the line between North
and South Korea was probably
right, but that the most important
thing was to present a united
front with our allies and the U.N.

Though the difficulties of nego-
tiating with Russia were instant-
ly acknowledged, Mr. Oppenhei-
mer expressed hope in the fact
that there is “a wide swath of peo-
ple from the Baltic to the Med-
iterranean” who desire relief from
the “harsh and uncomfortable re-
gime under which their leaders
are seeking military and industrial
strength.”

Cooperation Needed

As far as our country is con-
cerned, Mr. Oppenheimer said,
“Only shambles could result from
a continual controversy about the
control of the atom bomb.” He
stressed the need for co-operation
between the government nuclear
agencies and the private founda-
tions for atomic research. by 4
atomic research is “kept toa single
department, loss of freedom may
result.” He went on to say that,
there is a need-for scientists who
are cognizant of the world situa-
tion. “Now,” he said, “when we

ing about. life.”

Perhaps Mr. Oppenheimer’ 8 ‘genet
electrifying remark was his most
¢noncommital. Upon being asked
a specific question concerning the
hydrogen bomb, he answered after
a brief pause, “I know about these
weapons, and I cannot talk about
them.” His vast store of infor-
mation is, for obvious reasons, lim-
ited to the public. He did, however,
discuss the extreme potency of the
atom bomb in general terms and
he also answered scientific ques-
tions concerning the effects of ra-



diation.

Doing What Comes Nacherly

The people back home really act stupid sometimes
and we don’t understand why. They hardly know what life
is really like. Do you know that some of them can’t even
play bridge?

They have absolutely no feeling for the finer things of
life. Why, we mentioned Kant’s “Critique” to father one
night and he thought we were talking about a new kind of
automobile. Mother takes little white pills for headaches
completely unaware of the fact that they are actually ace-
tyl-salicylic acid. And the horrible part of it’ is that these
people, being in such a state of intellectual darkness, don’t
even care. Oh, well, we guess not everyone can be fortunate
enough to have an enlightening Bryn Mawr education.

Do you know. what some of the people at home do on
Saturday night? They stay home (and they really seem to
enjoy it). Many go for weeks without any alcoholic bever-
ages. Most of them have never been to a fraternity party
or a big college football game. They actually admit it!

We really wouldn’t mind all this so much—we guess
everyone in the world doesn’t have the same sense of values.
If they would just try to understand me. Surely that isn’t
asking too much. We believe that at the heart of most of our
misunderstandings is the fact that they don’t realize that
since we’ve been in college we have “broadened our outlook”.

We called home the other night because we failed a quiz
and were feeling blue. We were looking for sympathy and
do you know what they told us? They said we were silly
and that it couldn’t matter very much. And when we asked
for money to buy a khaki raincoat like everyone else (our
new one is an awful green corduroy), you should have heard
the answer. We just don’t know how we’ll convince Daddy
that we must go to Europe this summer. Everyone does it.

So you see how it is in our home town. The people lack
perspective. They don’t seem to care very much, no matter
what happens, ignoring completely some of the important
things that we’ve mentioned. They’re always laughing and
talking about insignificant little things. We don’t see how
they have any fun at all. : :

Collection Crashers

It seems that Bryn Mawr students don’t know when
they’re not wanted, At least, it seems so to one vociferous
member of Haverférd’s senior class, a Mr. Harold M. Fried-
man. Thanks to Mr. Friedman’s advice, dished out to us
through a letter to the Haverford News, this situation is well
on the way to being remedied. We've been told. :

The point of view expressed in the letter is illogical and
narrow-minded. The implication is made that visitors to
Collection, in some way, use up more money than has already
been spent to bring the speaker to Haverford. |

Further remarks in the letter imply that“Bryn Mawr
students attended the lecture and discussions simply to wave
their eyelashes at a Famous Man. However, a large number
of the visitors from Bryn Mawr were science and. politics
majors. And at the risk of offending Mr. Friedman’s sense
of values, may we state that we can find no objection to a
student’s attending a lecture simply because she thinks the
speaker has something to say. Dr. Oppenheimer is not only
a physicist but an educator and a prominent national figure:
there are many non-technical subjects on which he could
have been—and was—interesting. : :

_ Mr. Friedman’s point of view is completely contrary to

Thornton Wilder’s The Match-
maker is a real fun play. It is
most unlike his older successes,
Our ‘Town and The Skin of Our
Teeth, in that its sole purpose is
to amuse rather than philosophize.
Although Wilder creates a few
good new characters, he does make
use of the perennial types in his
comedy. And who can deny that
the humor has its slapstick ten-
dencies? Yet somehow The Match-
maker, and its bucolic Yonkers of
the early ’80’s, radiates a charm
that few of us can be impervious
to.

“Merchant of Yonkers”

Love and “match-making” con-
stitute the plot. In a room above
his store, one is introduced to
Horace Vandergelder, “the mer-
chant of Yonkers” (original title
of the play when Wilder wrote it
ih the late ’30’s).. Soon one learns
that this affluent, blustering 60-
year-old wants to find a spouse,
and his comrade-agent in the deal
is the ludicrous, officious Mrs. Levi,
friend of Vandergelder’s late wife.

Through chatty informal conver-
sations to the audience, one learns
Vandergelder’s philosophy. “A bit
of security gambled on adventure”,
and’ “Marriage is a hoax that
makes a housekeeper believe she’s
a householder” are clues to his
motivations. Mrs. Malloy is his
current prospect, while the Levi
woman is supposedly working on
another possibility. All the while,
of course, she harbors her own

By Ruth Rasch

The Confidential Clerk is a play
of ideas and words, not of events
and -action; this means that it is
the performance which determines
whether it is enjoyable or intoler-
able. Hedgerow Theater’s current,

production hits the latter extreme.
The acting and direction of the T.
S. Eliot play are consistently ona
low amateurish “level.

Displaced Infants

The plot, admittedly, is not
much. As in The Importance of
Being Ernest there is a welter of
displaced illegitimate children.
Though this feature weakens the
play, it is not a fatal flaw, as the
lines are what matter. The chil-
‘dren are a product of Eliot’s gen-
ius to hear and transmit human
conversation and the inanities in
it. This, and the ideas which come
through in the clarification and
resolution of the central situation
in the plot, give The Clerk charac-
ter as a play. In the current pro-
duction, because of the poor acting,
this character is missing. Ronald
Bishop, who appears as Sir Claude
Mulhammer, has one of the most
important parts, and is the poor
est actor in the cast. The program
informs us that he was_ also in
charge of setting and properties.

too—thinly:““His lines were deliv-
ered lifel , 1 his stage ac-
tions were awkward and complete-
ly ineffectual.

In the role of the clerk, Colby
Simpkins, Richard Brewer was
equally poor. He played the part
with a fixed smile and used sev-
eral facial mannerisms which
erased the effects of the lines he





said by making them seem unim-
ortant to him. He never changed

tenderness towards him. Some-
how’ his attractive bank account
brings out her desire for a mate.
The_ sub-plot is also conceived
along .the “toujours l’amour” tine.
Vandergelder’s niece, Ermengarde,
wants to marry her struggling
artist. Naturally dear.uncle is
opposed. Then, too, there are the
clerks who have their problems.
Fifteen-hour days without vaca-
tions have left their mark. Corne-
lius and Barnaby shirk their busi-
ness duties and head for New York
search of excitement and a
woman’s kiss, “So I’ll be a ditch-
diggér who’s had one happy day,”
is Mr. C. Hackl’s idea. With all
parties and interests converging in
New York, further complications
arise, and resolution occurs when
the proper people are mated—a
veritable matchmaker’s field day.

Ruth Gordon Good

Eddie Mayehoff is an excellent
merchant—he gives the part his
blustering all. The Mrs. Levi role,
which is taken by Ruth Gordon,
couldn’t have had a better person.
Eileen Herlie as Mrs. Molloy, is
adequate, while Arthur Hill is most
endearing as (Clerk Hackl. ,His
toast “To all the ladies in the
world—may I get to know more of
them,” is a bit of highly potent
stage flattery—a good trick.

The Matchmaker provides us
with several hours of uninterrupt-
ed enjoyment. It is
charming theatre.

her scatterbrained character was
new to the audience, her behavior
was amusing and effective. In the
|last act she alone put feeling and
| emotion into her lines.

As Miss Lucasta Angel, Yvonne
Vincie was also acceptable. Though
she seemed weak in the first act,
her performance in the second act
was convincing. As she told Colby
about her background she was be-
lievable; when she was disappoint-
ed at his reaction to her revelation
she was moving as a disillusioned,
though properly overdramatic, wo-
man,



In the minor roles the acting
was sometimes competent, though
never exceptional. Grant Code, as
Eggerson, transmitted some of the |
rhythm in his lines during the first
act, but after that was ineffectively
pompous. Miriam Philips as Mrs.
Guzzard, the children’s guardian,
was the only member of. the cast
Wiio carried things to the energetic
extreme. She overdramatized every
line she spoke.

In this production the second act
was the best. It moved the fastest,
perhaps because of Mr. Bishop’s
extremely brief appearance in it.
The final act, the most talky in
the play, was also the poorest. The
characters on the stage looked bor-
ed. So, despite the sympathetic
support one must give the idea of
iladel-
phia, was this reviewer.

Letter To The Editor

f

“Knock On Rock’’
Review Too Harsh

To the Editor:

The October 26 edition of the
College News passed my desk to-
day, along with many other college
newspapers. Ordinarily I. would
have glanced through its pages for
usable — news,
However, I was struck by the front
page review of Knock on Rock.

I was privileged to attend the
Saturday performance: of this pro-
duction and was curious to read
what others had to say about it.

Miss Shanks and Miss Epstein
started out in typical critic style,
semi-enthusiastic. Then they broke
into genuine praise. But, unfor-
tunately, it.seems that their loyal-
ty to the senior class caught up to
them on page six.

As one who has no more interest
in either Bryn Mawr or its junior

‘class than the desire to reward

honest labor, I object to the pan-
ning given Knock on Rock.

The reviewers note a lack of
“creative aspects.” How can a pro-
duction of this type be creative?
Original settings? Original songs?
The show had both. The true cre-
ative test of a variety show of this
nature is in the actions and sing-
ing of the cast. By these stand-
ards Knock deserves commenda-
tion.

The “grim fairy tale” had no
plot (I didn’t even note a “thin
thread of plot’). It would be fool-
ish to look for one in a production
of this type. This conglomeration
was exactly what it purported to
be, a variety show. Yet it was not
merely a succession of acts. Grand-
ma and her boys provided a set-
ting for the entire show and the
three geologists served as quiet
(?) transition elements. Both the
angel and devil choruses composed
a pretty white and red ribbon to
neatly tie the package.

New Kitchen

Patty Ferguson fit into her part
like a bride in a new G.E. kitchen.
It wouldn’t have looked good with-
out her. And as for Rabbit Mac-
Veagh, I’ll bet next Christmas’s
shirt (usually a $4.95 Manhattan)
that many a man’s thoughts went
back to his mother-in-law as he
watched Grandma. What a witch
of a woman!

My heart went out to Dante each
time he whined for his beloved.
(Has Beatrice been found yet?)
Sweet Elsie offered a fine contrast
to this mournful lover. The re-
maining characters (and that they
were) did no harm to the show,
but added little more than an ex-
tra chuckle or two. —

I was sitting close enough to ob-
serve Lucy Lindner in directing ac-
tion. Her face manifested com-

‘plete oblivion to all but the show.

The music knew its master at all
times. I didn’t observe Patricia
Moran doing her job, but the re-
sults rate her the applause she re-
ceived.

Perhaps there .were too many
songs. That would account for the
Shanks-Epstein theory of lack of
tune. I enjoyed the lyrics as well

as the music. Two numbers.in-par-————-
ticular clung to my dainty ears:

“Hell was Hell”
Got You.”
Not being a Bryn Mawr student

and “Grandma’s

(I was never considered attractive —

enough for the campus) and hav-
ing lost contact with the school in
recent years, I missed several lines
that sent most of the audience into
cackling revolutions. Even at that,
though, I found myself laughing ©
during most of the show.

Why must college students insist
on finding-an inner meaning in ev-
erything ? Knock on Rock was pro-
duced for amusement only. “Big
souls in small bodies” wasn’t in-
tended to be “homespun philoso-

Do you want to aid in rehabilita-
tion of war areas in Asia?

These questions must be answer-
ed by you Nov. 15 at. the College
Legislature meeting, where the
suggested foundations will be dis-
cussed. At this meeting, speakers
from the various organizations will
explain their work, after which the
College Legislature will vote on
which foundations it wishes to con-
tribute to.

The question is not only wheth-
er the particular organizations are
worthy of, contributions, but. also
where our funds can be of most
. value. In previous years’ the
U.S.F. has contributed to founda-
tions which have no national cam-
paign, but which rely wholly or in
part upon student donations, par-
tially because these organizations
have a greater dependence upon
us, and also because these organ-
izations are apt to aid students,
and act as a definite positive force
in international relations.

One such organization is World
Un.versity Service, formerly the
World Student Service Fund, which
works to aid students throughout
the world. It seeks to aid stu-

‘cheir education.



dents who will in time become
self sufficient ard perhaps in turn
be able to help other students
somewhere else. It might supply
an Indo-Chinese college, not with
textbooks, but rather with a mim-
eograph machine which can make
text material readily available in
the particular language necessary.
Another project would be estab-
lishing a sanitarium for tubercu-
lar students unable to continue

- The American Friends Service
Committee, although not wholly
confined to aiding students per se,
devotes.a large percentage of. its
budget to student work camps,



student conferences and institutes,
both here and abroad, in addition
to relief and rehabilitation work.

The National Scholarship Serv-
ice and Fund for Negro Students
is an organization which devote?
itself to counseling Negro students
concerning colleges, and in many
cases provides scholarships for
these students. The United Negro
College Fund aids in the support
of 28 all-Negro colleges in the
South, which will remain vitally
necessary to the South until com-
pletely integrated education can
pe achieved.

C.A.R.E., though not aimed pri-
marily at students, is yet a pro-
gram similar to the A.F.S.C.,
which for a minimum amount of
maney does an amazing job of re-
lief work throughout the world.

Performance In College, Life Patterns

Largely Molded In

By Ann Harris

What effect do educators have
on students? Tues., Nov. 1, Mr.
Brown reported to the Psychology
Club on some of the research he
has done at an Eastern women’s
college during the last three sum-
mers (not Bryn Mawr) to shed
light on this important problem.
Exactly what happens to students
personality-wise and intellectually
at a four-year women’s college?

Mr. Brown pointed out that
there had. been almost no informa-
tion on the mature nornial woman
college graduate, prior to this re-
search, which has been in progress
now for seven years. He confined
his talk, however, to only one as-
pect of the investigation.

Personality Assessment

Fifty women from the classes of
1928-1934 participated in the pro-
gram of a classical assessment of
personality. . The assessment for
each group of 10 women was done
in a four day period, from 7 a.m.
to midnight each day. There were
intensive interviews by staff mem-
bers (nine psychologists, one psy-
‘chiatrist and one sociologist) about
their educational, occupational and
childhood histories, social roles,
political and religious ideas and
emotional stresses. There were
projective tests, group discussions,
stress situations, the “alcoholic sit-
—uation”(a—relaxation and tension-
breaking time) and constant ob-
“servations by the researchers. Of
course, there were the subjects’
college records, too.

All of the women (42 married,
eight single) said they had ac-
quired a valuable knowledge of.
how to do research in college, but
they were somewhat vague as to
exactly what this meant. They
felt they had not received adequate
counselling, and that they had not
been prepared for the “harsh reali-
. ties” of housekeeping — many of
them graduated right into the De-
pression. It was interesting to
note that, while they all favored a

Pre-College Years

ters often attended schools which
could give them training in home
economics, typing and other prac-
tical skills.

By rating the women on seven
variables, the researchers were
able to group them into five types.
The variables included such aspects
of their college life as intellectual
capacity, performance in college,
social life, orientation to the pro-
fessional role and the sociological-
ideological beliefs of their faculty,
orientation to future family role
and their search for a new identity
during college years.

The women fell into five general
types which had consistent constel-
lations on the seven variables and
showed certain similarities on a

Student ConcerfS
Off To Good Start

The fairly substantial number
of students, faculty and visitors
to whom the idea of an afternoon’s
informal concert, precede by tea,
had appealed were not disappoint-
ed as the year’s Orchestra-spon-
sored concert series got off to an
auspicious start in Wyndham
Sunday at 5 p.m.

The program was as follows:

Haydn: Divertimento for Flute,
Violin, ‘and Cello, with Eleanor
Dickerman, Barbara Booth and
Martha Bridge.

Chopin; Etude in A Flat, Op.
25, No. 1, and Scherzo in C Sharp
‘Minor, with Harriet Elsom, pian-
ist.

Debussy: “Syrinx”
beth Johnson, flutist.

Handel: Sonata in ‘E Major for
with Barbara
Booth and William Reese.

The audience was particularly
appreciative of the performance of
Terry Elsom, who was called back
for an encore, and a member of
the faculty was heard to say that
she “didn’t sound like a student at
all,’

with Elisa-

is” scheduled

The new dean of the sophomore
class is Miss Katherine A. Geff-
cken, who is working toward her
Ph.D. as well as carrying her du-
ties as dean, was once warden in
gadnor.

She has the background required
of an Assistant Dean of the Col-
lege. After her graduation from
Agnes Scott College in 1949, she

taught Latin in Wisconsin for two

years. She entered the Bryn Mawr
Graduate School in 1951 and re-
ceivede her M.A. here in 1952.

Miss Geffcken was warden of
Radnor from then until 1954. “I
really enjoyed that,” she says.
“You get to know the girls, become
a part of their everyday life, and
get your education at the same
time.”

Book-Studying Harder

Last year, she received a Ful-
bright Fellowship for a year’s



variety of background and future
performance factors. There were
the “high achievers”—a group of
successful scholars who, among
other similarities, ranked high on
capacity, low on college social life;





and high on professional identifi-
cation. The next group was the
“social” group, who had been*in
college mainly for a good time, and
whose later life was not marked
by much intellectual development.
Another group was the women
whose main orientation in college
was toward the fulfillment of a fu-
ture family role. The fourth group
tended to be “‘stereotyped” or con-
formist, and the fifth group were
those whose college career had
been mainly concerned with estab-
lishing a new identity.

Conformity and Submission

The main conclusions from a
complete analysis of the reams of
material on these women is that.
to a very large extent, the college
performance and later life patterns
of these particular women, were
determined. by psycho-social fac-
tors -in their pre-college years.
Also, college performance, . except
for those of unusual capacity, was
more related to conformity and
submission than real talent. The
research is being carried on fur-
ther-on both alumnae groups and



liberal arts education, their daugh-



present students.

“Of course it was
wonderful, ” shé reminisces. “I was
able to study there the practical
side of my Latin. The. only thing

study in Rome.

.is, now ‘the book-studying is much

harder. It’s difficult to get back in
the habit.”

For the last four years, she has
been working for her Ph.D. “Mean-
while, I’m trying this angle. It’s
such a nice way to combine the
two, that is, being a part of the
administration as well as a stu-
dent,” she said.

The duties of her office are fair-
ly obvious. She is more or less
the “link” between her sophomores
and the faculty. She advises the
girls;-talks--with.them_about. their |
studies and keeps in touch with the
faculty by sitting .in on various
committee meetings throughout
the year.

“This I enjoy,” she said of her
new job. “And I still have my Lat-
in too.”

Voting.



By Betsy Dugdale
A. A. President

The Athletic Association decided
to do something about the “Satur-
day afternoon dilemma” — college
football. And so they invited Mr.
George Munger, Head of the De-
partment of Physical Education at
Penn, and Mr. Fred Wallace, of
Haverford School, to explain the
intricacies and technical terms of
the game. —

Speaking in the gymnasium to a
group of 100 students last Wed-

the fundamentals of T formation,
split T and single wing on the
blackboard. However, to comply
with urgent requests from some of
his less advanced ,students, Mr.
Munger reverted to more basic ex-
planations of the number and
names of players and the position
and duty of each.

Mr. Munger _then oxplataed 5 sev-
eral rules which the “Sunday
morning quarterback” should con-
sider before writing the coach
about what he should, have done.

Time left in the game, the score
and the weather conditions (such

nesday, Mr. Munger ‘first “described|





as rain and wind) must be weigh-

ed carefully. by the quarterback be-
fore choosing a play. The down,
the distance to be gained and the
team’s positiofi on the field will
also affect the choice. In planning
a play, the team must consider the
skill of its own particular team-
mates and also must know in what
positions the strength of the oppo-
sition lies. Mr. Munger humorous-
ly added that many “grandstand
quarterbacks” have sent him excel-
lent plays for the offense, but that
they inevitably forgot that the de-
fense will move accordingly:
Doe Wallace, a college football
official, next held the students’ at-
tention with stories of the official’s
problems at a college contest. In
answer 4o questions, he explained
and demonstrated the most fre-
quent penalties and signals.

Mr. Munger ended his evening
of feminine instruction with mov-
ies and switchbacks of top college
teams, illustrating the plays he
had previously described.

As a memento of this unique
event in the life of Bryn Mawrters,
the Athletic Association presented
Mr. Munger with a trophy football
inscribed “Penn vs. Bryn newer
November, 1955.”

Former Bryn Mawrters Hold Annual Alumnae Weekend



f







Miss Hoyt Demonstrates That Water,Sound,
And Light ane: Waves

Demonstrations , showing that
water, solind and light acted in
waves were the focus of Miss Ro-
salie C. Hoyt’s lecture on Ripples,
Waves, and Light.

Using some equipment including
a TV set borrowed for the occasion,
she explained the general principle
of interference of waves or rip-
ples (little waves) and kept her
promise “not to write any mathe-
matical formulae on the black-
board”.

Ripples started by a paddle in a
dish of water appeared as straight
lines on the TV screen. When the
ripples hit a brass plate with one
notch, the pattern became a series
of arcs like the ripples after a
stone has been thrown into water.

A plate with.two notches gave a
pattern which ‘looked like inter-
rupted length-wise halves of figure
eights. Each notch was causing a
series of arcs and the interruptions
were flat places which resulted
when a wave from one notch met
a trough from another. This is call-
ed interference.

In other places, two waves form-

:

Dressy Separates



ed an extra-high wave and two
troughs formed a doubly deep
trough. This is called reinforce-
ment. Because ‘sound and light
also exhibit reinforcement and in-
verference they are thought to
move in waves.

A high-pitched sound was beam-
ed toward a plate with two rectan-
gular holes in it. An “applause”
meter registered several changes
from maximum to minimum vol-
ume as the microphone was moved
in an arc toward one end of the
plate.

The minima were places where

the waves trom each hole interfer-
ed with each other. When the
holes were closer together or when
the pitch was lower there were
fewer fluctuations. During a sound
wave the air is alternately stretch-
ed and compressed.

Two thin parallel lines down the |

middle of a photograph negative
formed slits which admitted waves
from a red light. When this was
held to the eye the light seemed
to be a series of parallel streaks.
White light treated similarly gave
a white spot on the screen and
spectrum on either side. ‘

Miss Hoyt spoke on Saturday to
a group of alumnae in connection
with alumnae weekend.

“Music and Mathematics” were
discussed last Saturday afternoon
when Mr. Robert Goodale, Associ-
ate Professor of Music, and Miss
Marguerite Lehr, Professor of
Mathematics, spoke to a group of
returning alumnae.

Mr. Goodale described briefly the
techniques of three modern com-
po a] Paul Hindemith, Arnold
Schoenberg and Charles Ives.

Paul Hindemith extended the
usefulness of the overtone series.
He made one tonal note the center
of his music; the rest of the piece
revolves around this chosen. note.
Nearly éverything he writes is in
the key of C and when he does
branch out he still thinks of every-
thing as if it were in the key of C.
Mr. Goodale played a record of
Hindemith’s “Death Carol” from
“When Lilacs. Last in the Dooryard
Bloomed,” sung by the Bryn Mawr
Chorus and the Princeton Chapel
Choir.

The “twelve tone row” was Arn-
old Schoenberg’s well-known sub-
stitute for tonality. He was able
to use his row through any piece
of music four ways, forwards,
backwards, inverted, or backwards
and inverted. Mr. Goodale played
this composer’s “Fourth Quartet.”

Charles Ives was an American
composer who had one especially
interesting idea. He wanted to put
a kind of perspective in music cor-
responding to the perspective in
paintings. A piece by him called
“The Unanswered Question” was
played. It consisted of a string pas-

“forward” asking the question, and
the flutes trying in vain to answer.

Mr. Goodale, Miss Lehr Combine , Knowledge
For Talk On Music And Math

It is hard, said Miss Lehr, for a
professional to speak to a group
of lay people on any subject in his
field: He is unable to use technical
terminology and _ over-simplified
words often convey a meaning not
intended. That is why, she said,
she only speaks to non-profession-
als about mathematics when she
can choose her own topic, when
there is some hope of being able
to treat _the topic fairly yet in a
comprehensible way.

Numbers for a long time were
cloaked Pytha-
goras, a sixth-century B.C. philos-

opher, was unique in that he rec-
ognized number, as such, apart
from its use’ in measurement and
the like. The beliefs about num-
ber formed an integral part of his
religious brotherhood.

in superstition.

Mathematical Harmony

Pythagoras believed that num-
bers stood in a certain relationship
with the universe and attempted to
understand . the universe better
through them. He was searching

-for a mathematical harmony.

Thales, another Greek of :ap-
proximately the same_ period,
brought geometry from Egypt.
When disputes arose, such as a
discrepancy over the formula for
the area of a‘ circle, it became the
practice to set down a group of de-
fining first principles to which ev-
eryone agreed and from there
work deductively- In this way a
good,-tight system of mathematics

| was developed.

Alwyne’s Talk: ‘Music
At BMC Today’

Mr. Horace Alwyne, Chairman
of the Department of Music, ad-
dressed alumnae in Gooddhart Mu-
sic. Room at 8:30 p. m. Saturday
on the subject, ‘Music at Bryn
Mawr Today.” His talk was fol-
lowed by a short performance by
the Double Octet. - A

Mr. Alwyne briefly surveyed the
history of the Department of Mu-
sic at Bryn Mawr and noted that
the major, which was not offered
until 1954, has been chosen by two
seniors, four juniors, six. sopho-
mores and, so far, one freshman of
the classes now in college.

He concluded his talk by enu-
merating recent gifts to the De-
partment of Music and calling at-
tention to some needs still to be
met.

Two Steinway pianos have been
given by Mrs. J. Ebert Butter-
worth;-president of the Alumnae
Association, and Mrs. John B.
Bunker of Haverford, and three
phonographs have arrived, two
from an anonymous donor and one
from Miss Beatrice McGeorge.

The _ Pittsburgh International
Contemporary Music Festival has*

| presented the department with 20

LP records of recent contemporary
music. From the Classes of 1940,
1948, 1949 and 1952 have come
books, scores, films, music, records
and chairs. Additional cabinet
space for the Music Room has been
promised by Miss Gertrude Ely.

Still unmet is the need for more .
books, scores and records; for
sound-proofing of he _ practice
rooms; and for another classroom.

After Mr. Alwyne’s talk, the
Double Octet plus its five alter-
nates sang a capella the Bach cho-
ral “Now All the Woods Are
Sleeping” and a Kyrie by Antonio
Lotti. Then followed sections of
Katherine Danforth Fisher’s can-
tata “The Lamp on the Stream”
and an anthem “Listen to the
Lambs,” by R. Nathaniel Dett. The
audience was visibly impressed by
the performance of Diana Dis-
muke, ’59, as. soloist in the final
number.

Argentine Revolt Subject Of Current Events;
Economist Analyzes Peron Rule

For the real significance of the
recent Argentine revolt, we must
view the situation since the events
of June 1943 which led to Juan
Peron’s seizure of power. This was
the opinion of Professor Alexan-
der, Rutgers economist and author
of “Era of Peron,” who spoke at
Current Events on Monday. He
analyzed the important crises un-
der the iron rule of: Peron, which
lasted for more than a decade.

Peron came into prominence af-
ter the coup d’etat enacted by pro-
German military elements. The en-
suing military and Fascist-slanted
regime was grossly unpopular with
civilian groups, and it became ob-
vious that to survive, it must con-
cern itself with the long-neglected
social and labor spheres. The land-
ed aristocracy had had control of
this cattle and whedt-raising coun-
try; when Peron became Minister
of Labor in November 1943, his
overtures to trade unions and his
legislative reforms improved the
lot of the lower classes.

His well-publicized actions also
won real support among the rank
and file, and except for a brief ov-
erthrowal in 1945, Peron exercised
dictatorial control until this year.
The basis of his regime has ‘been
the army and the trade unions,
which groups he regularly purged
and played off against one another.
Like all demagogues, he found it
always necessary to have an ene-
my for nationalistic rallying pur-
poses; for ten years, he placed
Uncle Sam in this role,

In the summer of 1953, Peron
abruptly changed his attitude to-
ward the U.S. due to the serious
economic crisis which was, and is,
threatening to crush his country.
He had spent huge sums in at-
tempting to make Argentina eco-

nomically independent and agri-
culturally versatile, in building up
the military, and.in buying up vir-
tually all the foreign investments,
such as. utilities, in Argentina.
Personal corruption, and dishon-
esty among his official circle, help-
ed to drain the treasury and for-
eign exchange reserves.

Argentina found difficulty
selling products abroad at the out-
rageous prices she charged. Farm-
ers suffered; many migrated to cit-
ies, with the result that uncultivat-
ed acreage increased and the crisis
grew worse. There was no surplus,
and therefore no foreign ¢rédit for
needed improvements.

Thus for the next two years,
Peron professed general good feel-
ing for the U.S. He actually had
slight success in attracting Amer-
ican businessmen, although he did

lure the Kaiser Corporation and
Standard Oil of California. Due
to the unreliability of Peron, the
latter would agree only to. out-
rageous terms, which benefited the
company but were highly unbene-
ficial to the Argentine government.
. Peron’s conflict -with the Cath-
olice Church evolved from the same
economic roots. In reli shing

in

the U.S. as his chief enemy, he}

chose the Church as a new one.
One purpose was to rally many
original Peronistas who were slip-
ping from control but were not
well inclined towards the Church.
His policies got completely out of
hand, as indicated by the arrest of
40 priests in one day, and the ap-
proval of legislation utterly ob-
noxious to the Church.

Everything culminated between
June 16, when the army and bad
weather saved Peron and Buenos
Aires from capture by the Navy,
and September 16, when he was
deposed by the successful revolt
emanating from the provinces. In
the first revolt, the labor prop was
knocked out from under Peron’s
regime, and the army overrode
him to exercise considerable con-
trol. Six weeks later he had ap-
parently reestablished both labor
and army behind him, but the Sep-
tember revolt proved otherwise.

Current President Leonardi, a
retired army major, seems to un-
derstand his problems and how to
meet them, and to have the best
interests of the country at heart.
However, he must still contend
with the economic problem, and
a trade union movement. controlled
by Peron, who is in exile.



Reader Finds. Hesiaw
Of Show Too Critical

phy.” It appeared to me as just a
simple phrase with no other pur-
pose than to draw the production
to a close. I think Misses Shanks
and Epstein were searching for
something that wasn’t supposed to
be there.

The kick chorus was the finest I
have seen in the amateur field. I
have been a_ spectator at many
similar productions in large uni-
versities and in small schools. No
other kick chorus possessed the
precision and rhythm of the one in
Knock on Rock.

I can recall several excellent
shows which I have seen while in
college (class of 6, or a few years
later) and in the years since then;
until Knock I would have given
first place to a Vassar variety
show of a few years back. Bryn
Mawr’s juniors now have the
honor.

One parting orchid before I sign
—80— to this critique. That pur-
ple bloom goes to the make-up
crew. Without them the show
would not have carried. When the
posse came on stage I had to re-
mind myself that Bryn Mawr had
no male students (’though I often
wondered about one of the girls I
used to date there).

I didn’t see last .year’s Junior
Show, but I wouldn’t be a bit sur-
prised if it wasn’t quite as good as
this year’s. Miss Shanks and Miss
Epstein evidenced a twinge of
jealousy.

Sincerely,
Donald M. Bravin.
