LegislatureMeeting

To Weigh Changes

There will be a meeting of the
Legislature Wednesday, April 24,
at 7:15 in the Common Room.

Two measures will be brought up
for consideration, both of which
amend the Undergrad Constitution.

The first will provide for a per-
manent Legislature chairman; at
the present time that body has no
recognized head, and its meetings
are chaired by the president of the
organization bringing business be-
fore it.

The second proposal will give
members of the Undergrad Advis-
ory Board voting powers in the
Legislature.

The meeting will be open, al-
though voting members are re-
quired to attend.



Creese Discusses Modern Educational
Systems; Their Evolution And Problems

Dr. James Creese, President of
Drexel Institute of Technology,
spoke on “The Modern Environ-
ment of Education” at the Gradu-
ate Fellowship Assembly, last
Wednesday noon in Goodhart.

‘“Tf education is a business, it is
one of the-strangest in the world.
People pay for the goods and then
refuse to. take them.” But, although
Dr. Creese does not consider edu-
tion a business its advances have
been closely linked with pro-
gress in the busi and scientific
worlds—such upheavals. as the In-
dustrial. Revolution have brought
modern educational systems into
existence,

The problems facing education
(among them the relation of col-
leges and universities to their com-
munities, their autonomy) have
continued the same in all the coun-

' tries of the world and im all ages.

In sixteenth century Britain, there
was particular focus on the con-
flict. between traditionalism and the

new discoveries in the sciences and

other fields. As the exponent of
stability, Coke commanded a wide
audience, but the revolutionary
ideas of Bacon, who envisaged the

“organization of knowledge on a

great scale”—the. improvement of
working methods so that men
might have leisure, have had the
most profound influence on our
society and educational systems.
The Industrial - Revolution, the
outcome of -Bacon’s idea, has
anged the thought of the world,



has created a surplus of time and
wealth, and has freed young people
from work. And, as 4 result of this
revolution has come about one of
the “most startling and exciting
events in history”: the recent cre-
ation of the vast public school sys-
tems. Dr. Creese_labeled the leap-
ing increase seonay school
enrollment “sobering” to col-
lege admimistrators, and stated
that today’s college freshman is
not so well prepared as he was ten
years ago, largely due to the num-
bers now flooding the schools. .
The most striking advance
in technical education has been
seen in Russia (recently visit-
ed by Dr. Creese) during the past
30 years — the Russians have
firmly grasped Bacon’s principle
and established “a very ~close~re-
lationship betwen their educational
institutions and their expert. in-
dustries. The University of Mos-
cow is held up as a goal to all
young people in Russia; it has be-
come, stated Dr. Creese, the “cap-
itol building” of ‘“Russia’s new
technological. age. Dr. Creese did
not suggest that we imitate Rus-
sia’s new system, but wondered if
it might not be stronger than ours.
The solution of these problems
must be found close to home. And
the present challenge to education
can only be dealt with here: how
to relate the “enormous forces” of
democracy and industry so that
they may “strengthen and amplify
each other.” ;

Fulbright Awards
To Sutter, Colebob

Paul Sutter ’57, and Carole
Colebob ’57 have received Fulbright
grants for study in Europe next
year.

The grants, from the United
States government as provided for
by the Fulbright Act, include
transportation to and from the
place of study, and provide for
tuition, books, and maintenance al-
lowance. Of the 12,000 applications
which are made each year, only
1,000 Fulbrights are granted. .

At the University of Vienna,
Paula will study central European
history, centered around the for-
mer Hapsburg monarchy, and the
succession states, such as Austria
and ‘Czechoslovakia. She hopes
eventually to teach in this field.

Paula, a history major, was vice-
president and acting president of
her class as a junior, a member of
the editorial board of the Bryn
Mawr-Haverford Revue, and pres-
ident of Radnor Hall this year.

Carole Colebob’s Fulbright Award
will take her to the University of
London next year to study mathe-
matics.

The Merion senior has been a
math major at Bryn Mawr and
has also worked in mathematics
during the past two summers, at
Westinghouse Research and at the
Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company.
Carole plans to leave for England
on the first of September.

Program Planned
To Honor Jiminez

Plans for a_ special program
honoring the Spanish poet and re-
cent Nobel Prize winner, Juan
Ramon Jimenez, to be held on
Tuesday evening ,April 23, in the
Common Room, have been announc-
ed by the Spanish Club and Spanish
Department.

A highlight of the program will
be the reading of Juan Ramon
Jimenez’s poetry in the original
text which will be followed by Pro-
fessor Mario Maurin’s reading his

own French translations of Jim-
enez’s poems. The third part of
the program will consist of English
translations (by W. S. Merwin) of
the poetry which will be read by
Professor Warner B. Berthoff.

An added feature of the even-
ing will be an open discussion in
English of Jimenez and his poetry
led by Professors Juan Marichal,
Jose Ferrata Mora, Mario Maurin
and Warner B. Berthoff.

1902 Lecture Will
Be On Education

“Education in a Democracy .. .
What is it?” will be Joel H. Hil-
debrand’s topic for the 1902 Lec-
ture to be held Thursday evening,
April 18, in Park. Mr. Hildebrand.
past president of the American
Chemical -Society and past member
of the President’s Commission on
Education, is a Professor Emeritus
at the University of California.

‘Education is a matter of great
concern to him, “Mr. Hildebrand,
a highly respected chemist, is one

adjustment and how-to-get-along
kind of education being dished up
by some of the nation’s schools and
teachers’ colleges,” states Time
Magazine, April 8 issue, in an ar-
ticle giving Mr. Hildebrand’s view
on a recently published guide for
teachers. ‘
Also recently published is a sam-
ple of Mr. Hildebrand’s“owf work
—Science in the Making. The book
explains the scientist’s method in
solving problems, illustrated by
Mr. Hildebrand’s system in extend-
ing the solubility theory. He be-
lieves the “scientific method” is
highly over-rated, that the scien-

Ed. note: Arts Night is re
viewed in 8 sections.

by Eleanor Winsor

Arts Night, “a student program
of drama, dance and music”, was
presented by a somewhat spurious
Arts Council Friday evening, April
12, in the Cornelia Otis Skinner
Workshop. Contrary to the usual
vagueness surrounding the annua]
Arts Night and the obscurity of
its origin, a blaze of publicity be-
several months

taking to the attention of the cam-

pus,
The audience was pleased, there-

S| fore, although not surprised to

receive all they had bargained for
in the way of a varied program,
outstanding Stage effects ard sev-
eral essays into the startling and

unusual,

One of these was certainly the
mock-symposium of “professorial
voices in facetious comment on the
nature and use of art. The device
served not so much its function of
tying Arts Night together as that
of informing the audience that this
Arts. Night was different. For
this prelude also introduced the
two messengers, A. Lank and M.
Smith. Of Gilbert and Sullivan
charm in appearance, they 'pro-
vided useful means of overcoming
Skinner’s technica] handicaps.

The program, being well alrang-
ed, treated us to several excellent
selections, before the first piece of
so-called drama in the shape of a
witty, sophisticated Dorothy Par-
ker skit called “Well Here We
Are.” As the satirized honey-
mooners, L. Levitt and D, Nowlis
provided excellent comic reli ;
their acting fulfilled the potential-
ities of the script; however, one
wonders. why our own literary en-
ergies never turn to this type of
writing instead of to the deep, seri-
ous works which ordinarily appear,
Such a performance of light wit
might have more point if the wit
did not have to be imported: from
a familiar source. -

C. Horton’s play “An Obliging
Love” was familiar to many from
its previous publication in the Re-
vue and therefore was an appro-
priate challenge for Arts Night.
To appreciate the play fully one
must have a real taste for Miss
Horton’s extravagant and often
lovely metaphor, the most original
feature of her work. The ability of
this cast. to transmit appreciably
the quality of the poetry they had
in hand was dubious. The drama-
tic performance was adequate, al-
though not electrifying; it did not
add much. to the understanding of
the play. .

Perhaps the visual triumph of
the evening were the beautiful and

-ofthetartest_critics_of the life-| outstanding sets designed by Ann —

Vanderpool. For a_ production,
whose purpose is a vital contem-
porary and avant garde spirit, it is
fitting that the stage settings
should be in the best modern tra-_
The use: of properties to
vary the main backdrop was re-
sourceful and increased the range
of the numbers. Especially ef-
fective was the violet lighting on
the wheel and the calypso dance,
and the background for Ako Hase- .

ple as her dancing. -. oe,

Kast House: An Upperclass Dorm

Bryn Mawr is hall oriented, i.e., people tend to depend
on their dormitories for fulfillment of all their various needs
as “social animals.’ This is indubitably advantageous in
Bryn Mawr dorms which integrate all classes. Hence with
class distinctions minimized, community living is emphasized.

We believe that any living unit segregating a small num-
-ber of members of one class is basically contradictory to the

_Bryn Mawr residential.system.and unfair to the individuals
involved. We object.to the use of East House as a freshman
dorm. This ‘is the third year that freshmen have been ac-
commodated in this manner ; we feel that definite steps should

_ be taken now to make this the last year. We are aware of the
conditions that created the need for East House and realize
that the administration has tried to avoid using this college
property as a “freshman house”. :

We do not deny the fact that there are certain advantag-
es to living in a small house among 15 over a large impersonal
dorm among 70. Naturally this is the opportunity to get to
know a-few people really well. ‘But while this may be desir-
able for students who want a change from dormitory life,
there are disadvantages for the freshmen. One is isolated
from one’s class and other classes and the “voice of experi-
ence” in the form of upperclass criticism and advice can be
an invaluable aid to the freshmen.. One is isolated from the
pulse of campus activity, that nebulous “climate of thought
and opinion” that characterizes a college and with which one
should be acquainted as a freshman. And since these years
are notably times to explore new situations and experiences,
why should one be restricted in a living situation?

We will not deny the fact that there are conceivable ad-
vantageous to an off-campus house; but we do say it should
be the perogative of the individual to choose that mode of
living which she prefers. This choice should not be made for
the freshman because she filed application at a somewhat
later date. We feel that living in these off-campus accommo-
dations should be restricted to those who have experienced
conventional college dorm life and who can then make an in-

&

telligent choice. The upperclass system currently being used |

in Wynham is highly preferable to the freshman house al-
ternative for East House.

Opportunities In The State Dept.

A representative from the State Department visited the
Bryn Mawr campus today to speak on career opportunities
in the U. S. foreign service. Although the gentleman’s re-
marks were, in some respects, encouraging, a glance at cur-
rent headlines causes us to have qualms about just what is
happening to our diplomatic corps. :

-We are particularly upset about the appointment by
President Eisenhower of Scott McLeod as ambassador to Ire-
land. McLeod is an avowed McCarthyite, closely associated

_ with, if not heavily responsible for, the lowering of foreign
service morale during his job as security head in the State
~~ Department. It has been the opinion of many for a long
time that McLeod’s handling of security problems warranted

_.....his-discharge.__Reportedly, even Secretary Dulles wished to
_ have McLeod dismissed or nsferred. If McLeod’s-new~ap=

pointment is a means of “kicking him upstairs”, then our
ambassadorial qualifications have reached a new low.

political appointees, and curiously enough, to those

Pearls

“Gentlemen:

“Are you tired of Elvis? Are you
appalled by ‘I like Elvis’ publicity,
and the way in which Presley and
his ilk are permeating the fabric
of American life? Of course you
are, because you like music.”

Thus begins an impassioned let-
ter, which is posted on the Music
bulletin board in Goodhart, from
a young man at Yale who seeming-
ly has become tired of it all. Feel-
ing that the purely negative stand
taken iby the wearers of “I Hate
Elvis” buttons lacks the necessary
constructive criticism, he advocates
supporting the cause of Ludwig.

“Now people who prefer music
to noise are reacting to these dark
ages. Fire is being fought with
fire. A group of college students
have begun a nationwide ‘I like
Ludwig’ button campaign, Ludwig
von Beethoven is making a come-
back.”

According to this authority “I
Like Ludwig” buttons are replacing
Elvis and Pogo buttons on Yale
coat lapels as well-as on those of
students and professors at Colum-



bia, New York Univerity, Harvard,



Before - - -

Patty Page



Williams, Amherst, City College of
New York, William and Mary and
other colleges as well as high
schools. ;
This is all very edifying, of
course, and all that—but. The latest
fashion in buttons comes in a
slightly larger size and more mod-
est colors than the blatant yellow
ones which proudly proclaimed the
wearer’s staunch support of Pogo.
The Ludwig buttons are white
printed in black with what looks
like a newsprint photo of a draw-
ing of Beethoven. Beneath is writ-
ten in black “I Like Ludwig.”
The whole movement is based
on intellectual snob appeal and so
what could be more appropriate
than the: ultra-conservative cam-
paign colors of black and white?
However, we are getting a little
tired of the rapid .succession of
campaigns and deluges of buttons.
If this latest campaign is truly an
intellectual revolt against the
cruder elements, why can’t it be
conducted in a more refined man-
ner?! Why must the enemy’s tactics

be employed?!

by Martha Bridge

The chamber music concert pre-
sented on Sunday afternoon by a
group of Bryn Mawr and Haverford
students was amateur in the best
sense of the word. The atmosphere
was intimate, at least in contrast
to the echoing vaults. of Goodhart
auditorium, and the music room
somehow gained in attractiveness
in the cold, fading afternoon sun-
light. All this may seem irrele-
vant to the music, but actually it
contributed to the mood in which
the audience heard the perform-
ance, There was a certain ease
and enjoyment in both the playing
and the receiving of this concert

professional setting.

Of course, the relaxed attitude
of the listener was in good meas-
ure due to the fact that the per-
formers ‘were all possessed of a
modicum of technica] facility. There
was no agonizing or patronizing
tolerance required of the audience.

The most uniformly excellent of
the program’s three offerings was
the Haydn trio for two flutes ajid
cello. The cellist, Dorothy Reich-
enberger, gave a distinguished per-
formance—the kind of sure-finger-
ed, round-toned chamber music
playing that is required in an es-.
sentially non-featured part. Betsy
Johnson and Ann Lackritz brought
to the flute parts attractive tones
and considerable agility. If the
tempo was a bit-wobbly at times,
it was compensated for by the gen-
uine charm of the group’s approach
to the music, particularly in the
chattering quality of the Vivace.

Eleanor Childs, accompanied by
Terry Elsom at the piano, sang
three songs for soprano. Miss



BMC-Haverford Chamber Music Concert
Creates Relaxed, Intimate Atmosphere

| Childs has a lovely voice and a

natural feeling for vocal coloring.
She was particularly appealing in
singing Fauré’s Aprés un Réve, In
Haydn’s My Mother Bids Me Bind
My Hair and Ah, Ich Fuhl’s by Mo-
zart, she was hampered by indis-
tinct diction. Miss Child’s faults
are of a technical character, and
with further training she cannot
fail to show her musicianship.

The Bryn Mawr - Haverford
Chamber Orchestra finished the
program with Bach’s Brandenburg
Concerto No. 5 in D, for piano.
flute, and violin.

This reviewer is pleased to re-
port that, with the exception of a
certain lack of unanimity in mat-
ters of intonation, the orchestra,
under the direction of Dr. William
Reese, played with verve and
warmth and a commendable de-
gree of dynamic contrast. In fact,
the orchestra quite outdid the so-
loists, all three of whom, we has-
ten to add, acquitted themselves
admirably. Evelyn White handled
the piano solos with proficiency,
Barbara Booth played the violin
part energetically, and Jennifer
McShane, although somewhat ov-
erpowered by the volume of her
colleagues, soared smoothly and
gracefully in the difficult allegro
passages. On the whole, the ama-
teur quality of the performance
seemed in keeping with the spirit
of the music.

The concert was a really pleas-
ant. experience for a devotee of
chamber music. It was also a fine
example of the positive virtues of
amateur musicianship, in the close-
ness between audience and per-
former which Sunday’s concert
seemed to foster. /

Letter To The Editor

Anti-Classicist Says
Long Live the Kelpy

Madame,

Regarding the Kelpie (i.e. Kel-
py). Despite a warm respect for
the solid Scott, of whom my great-
uncle Robert used to speak, I feel
that any sweeping discrediting of
the modern symbolizm and the del-
icate valance in internal half-rhyme
shown by

“Jaws dripping with

BLOOD and with GHOUL”
is to be deplored. Is our literary
viewpoint to be Hume-hewn and
thwarted. by the stodgy classicist?
This is the ultimate fringe of in-
finity. Who will step forward
from the ranks, the files and the
fretwork? Who will defend and/or
upend our radical-changing inde-
pendence in the era of bang and
blab?
Who indeed?

Beames Lost Faith
In Lost and Found

At present, Lost and Found is
about as defunct as an institution
can get around Bryn Mawr. Al-
though it is open for fifteen min-
utes five days a week (1:45 to
2:00), it is not infrequent that no
one comes, and during the past
week I have had only one customer.

Where this lack of interest comes
from I cannot deterniine, since
Lost and... Found...contains+- many
valuable articles, which I’m certain
their owners must want. Some of
them even have name tapes, but
although I’ve promptly sent notes
to the owners, many of them have
failed to appear. One case bothers _
me especially—I’ve had a heavy
winter coat for several months and
have sent the owner two notes, but
nothing has happened.

Of course, this disregard of
Lost and Found works both ways:
very seldom does any one bring me
a lost item they’ve found, and I
can only é¢ollect from the janitors
in the various buildings. With such
a complete oblivion surrounding it,
Lost and Found cannot be either
efficient or effective, and although
it would seem to be a necessary
institution, I would recommend
that it be abolished unless some
new interest is shown.

In case someone may be in total
ignorance, I will outline how Lost
and Found operates. It is located
in Taylor basement by the Bureau
of Recommendations, and although
it is only open from 1:45 to 2:00,
I’ve placed a list on the door so
that a student may come down at
any time and sign her name and @
description of the lost article. If
it comes in, I send her a note by
campus mail. A fine of five cents
is charged for each claimed item.
Also, a basket is placed outside the
door of Lost and Found, where stu-
dents may deposit anything they’ve
found. “In case of an emergency,
please get in touch with me in
Pem East, and I'll gladly open
Lost and Found for you. -

Sincerely,
Miriam Beames
Campus Head of Lost and Found

of the old and introduction of the

dergrad’s plans next year.

The new president would like to
see ‘both the Undergrad Council
and Board consider the problem of
reorganization of the Big Six struc-
ture. Along this’ line, Legislature
should also consider the possibility
of electing its own chairman. At
present, Legislature is chaired by
an Undergrad officer-or the person
presenting the case for that meet-
ing.

Dodie believes the Undergrad
Advisory board should be. brought
more closely into the organization.
The election system should be look-
ed into further, so as to make it
less time-consuming. -

Undergrad is presently working
on the problem of moving the col-
lege’s soda fountain to another
locale, with hopes of creating a
real “Student union”. Dodie feels
“Underg, ad ought to see that as
much one as possible to put this

Excursions, Variety
by Susan Schapiro

Donia Cochrane ’58 is “very
glad” .to be the next president of
the Athletic Association, and has
“lots of exciting. plans.” One of
them..is. for an Applebee Barn
workday, sometime in the near
future, to spring-clean and to build
an outdoor fireplace for cookouts.
Applebee Barn is also slated to be
the:scene of some folk-singing.

Another idea which Donna hopes
to be able to carry out this spring
is to organize a group of pedal-
pushers interested in bicycle hikes
and picnics at Rhoads farm.

Donna feels that the A.A., an
organization of which everyone is
an ipso facto member, can answer
a variety of needs, and can cater to
special] interests as well as more
conventional athletics. In this con-
nection, she is “open to all sug-
gestions,” and plans to increase
A.A.’s' publicity and expand and
strengthen ‘public. relations. She
mentioned the coming Awards
Night as an ideal opportunity for
students to become acquainted with
the activities and functions of the

Announce Projects for Next Year

by Gretchen Jessup

Nancy Dyer, the newly-elected
president of SelfsGov, when inter-
viewed, wished particulary to em-
phasize the importance of each stu-
dent having a clear understanding
of Self-Gov and of the way its ex-
ecutive board works; for the stu-
dent to be conscious of the system
only when she has--brokem one of
its rules does sae ‘ke a strong
system.

To nderstand Self-Gov, Nancy
said, One should recognize the spir-
it of respect for both college and
individual__in which — Self-Gov’s
rules are drawn up, as well as the
constitutional do’s and dont’s. If
a student only sees the latter,
practical side, she tends to become
blasé or mechanical toward the
whole.

In this context, the ideal is: for
everyone to see in action how Self-
Gov works, and why. This could
be done in part by posting the min-
utes of as many Executive Board
meetings as possible, and by hav-
ing the Advisory’ Board meetings
open, with time and place of the
meetings announced in the halls.

Nancy also mentioned that the
constitution of Self-Gov is, for the
first time in four years, undergo-
ing a complete review with revi-
sign.. where..necessary.-This; she
feels, is a golden opportunity to.
reevaluate any parts which néed
it. This is a further reason to come
to the Advisory meetings, and to
speak to the Self-Gov reps about
any questions,

Altogether, the Boards “work
hard to make Self-Gov a reason-
able approach to living in a com-
munity”, said Nancy; it is the ipso
facto member who, by her under-
standing and thoughtfulness, sets
its degree of success.

Alliance Will Poll
Students’ Opinion

by Helene Valabrague

Martha Bridge, the new Alliance
President, has many ideas for new
projects. She intends to poll cam-
pus opinion on topics for future
Alliance conferences. By introduc-
ing a new system of having the
topic of each Alliance meeting an-
nounced in advance, anyone who
shows enough interest to come will
get a vote. Also, every other board
meeting will be a student-led dis-
cussion. This is to tap resources on
campus by giving students with
particular interests a chance to talk
about them.

Martha is -also interested in
starting non-partisan politics on
campus to emphasize information
and action on particular issues, and
in following up the idea of the
League of Women Voters in this
area, so that people who don’t
have strong party beliefs will have
a chance to express their views.

deal of latent interest in religion

ation should continue to keep

Four Harvard Men
Review Institutions
Of Their University

by Rita Rubinstein

Nearly a year ago four Harvard
students turned from exam crain-
ming to articulating grievarites
against their university, often con-
sidered the finest in the country.
It wasn’t long before a special is-
sue of i. e.: The Cambridge Review,

Harvard 1956 was sold out; much}:

of life and activity around the
“Yard” and “Square” had come
under ‘the surveillance of this
group. After much arm. pulling
and persuading -we have managed
to borrow a copy of the contro-
versial item; we reprint from it
below.

“Introduction: This is not an
objective study in the regular sense
of the word. We are involved very
personally with what we say. We
care as much as we dare about
what we discuss. That is why .this
little book will talk at length about
certain parts of Harvard life and
will disregard others. To write it
we did no research .

Undefined Undergrads
“The Undergraduate: The Har-
vard undergraduates’ most strik-
ing characteristic is their inability
to define any clear attitudes toward
each other. This is a baffling situ-
ation.” You have a ‘community that

cannot in any philosophic sense,

be ‘called happy, which suffers ter-
ribly from doubts about almost
everything it does, and yet in which
no one speaks out. The existing
situation is never described or dis-
cussed. Undergraduates rarely
speak to each other. They confuse
directness with confession and
shoulder-weeping ... One key to
this monstrous inhibition lies in the
actual claims of the university.
Harvard cultivates vanity of the
worst kind: the exhibitionist grat-
ification of prestige. Harvard does
not cultivate a respect for the in-
tellect: veritas is at best a minor
interest ...

“The General Education Pro-
gram: Generally speaking, the aim
of the General Education courses
is to acquaint the freshmen with
what ideas are and how they work.
These courses are supposed to be
synthetic. Periods are not to be
taught, and information per se is
not supposed to be the goal. The
greatest of writers are thrown to-
gether regardless of their place in
history. Plato is in the close eom-
pany of Nietzsche and Freud; The
Divine Comedy shows the same
imagery as Moby Dick . . . the
courses are encyclopedic, though
they are meant to be synthetic.

Too Many Students

“The reason for this is partly the
great number of students and part-
ly poor section-men, but principal-
ly the fault lies with the profes-
sors. They know vaguely what
ought to be done, but will not try
to find out exactly how to do it.
What Gen Ed ends up doing is giv-
ing people a glancing knowledge
of most of the important books
they could possibly read, and for
the most part they never return to
these books again during their Har-
vard careers ... Gen Ed may ‘im-
prove’ those who will never have
any intrinsic interests. It helps
the stupid and damages the quick

land alert ...

“Lectures:
ten’ to lectures profitably. This is
a psychological fact. Listening,
attention must wander. One can
only record the lecture and read
it later. ‘In the middle ages this
was necessary because there were
few books. Harvard has six million
books. If certain professors wish
to play-act, let them devote all
their time to the Harvard theatre
fund...

H. Al

by Sue Harris

Mr. Horace Alwyne presented the
last of his annual pianoforte re-
citals in Goodhart Hall, Tuesday
night, April 9th. The program in-
cluded the difficult Sonata in B
Minor by Liszt, a Bach-Busoni
Chaconne (from 4th Violin Sonata)
and a varied selection of shorter
pieces by Balakireff, Rachmaninoff,
Brahms, York Bowen, Strauss-
Geiseking, and Debussy.

The atmosphere in Goodhart was
one of relaxed intimacy; the hall
was full of students, faculty and
personal friends of Mr. Alwyne,

olleae Theatre
Revises System

In hope’ of improving production
efficiency and making it easier to
co-operate with Haverford’s sys-
tem, College Theatre has revised
its constitution. In the past, there
has been confusion in joint pro-
ductions, since Bryn Mawyr’s offi-
cers did not correspond to Haver-
ford’s and it was difficult to define
each person’s responsibility.

Under the new plan, worked out
by Adrian Tinsley, Pat Moran,
Leigh Gelser, and E. B. White,
each Bryn Mawr officer will have
a counterpart at Haverford and
thus the two should be able to co-
ordinate smoothly.

It is also hoped that the changes
will divide the work more evenly
among the ‘various officers and
clarify each one’s responsibility.

The new system provides for only
four elected officers (president,
vice-president, production manager,
and treasurer) in place of the
former minimum of six. These four
will make up the Reading Com-
mittee, with meetings open to all
club members. There will be no
elected stage manager; instead, the
technical end of all productions will
be handled by the production man-
ager, Sue Myers, who will appoint
five assistants, each responsible for
one phase of the production—
building the set, lighting, costumes,
props, and make-up. These people
will all be responsible to the pro-
duction manager, who will manage
the stage during the final perform-
ance.



President’s Duties

The president of College Theatre,
Adrian Tinsley, will be in charge
of all front-of-curtain business;
she will appoint publicity and busi-
ness managers, and will also act as
a liason between the club and the
director, while the assistant direct-
or will be appointed jointly by
Robert Butman, director, and the
president of College Theatre. Her
duties will be simply those of sec-
retary and general helper to the
director.

This new system, developed dur-
ing the productions of Measure for
Measure and Cocktail Party,. is
still in the experimental stage;
She Stoops to Conquer is the first
trial of its efficiency. If it proves
successful, a similar system of
elected production. manager with
appointed assistants might be
worked out for class shows.



East House Mixer
Draws Many Men

Men from four surrounding col-
leges attended the East House
mixer last Friday night.

Held under the chairmanship of
Margaret Simpson, hall president,
the mixer lasted from nine to one.
It was interrupted briefly by the
appearance of five members of an-
other hall, clad in straw hats, but
they were promptly removed, and
the dance continued without fur-

wyne’s Recital Given April 9;
His Style, Expression Are Praised

certainly a tribute to his talent and
achievement.

For those who had more than a
passing knowledge of Mr. Alwyne’s
selections, and especially for those
students of his History of Music
course ‘who were present at the
recital, Mr. Alwyne’s playing was
an unusual treat. His style, at all
times well-suited to the piece at
hand, was technically good. But
the most impressive aspect of his
playing was’ his sensitive expres-
sion, for he handled ballades, ber-
ceuses, and preludes with pre-
cision and:delicacy of tone and with
complete understanding.

During the intermission, several
of his students were discussing the
recital. One turned to the other
and said, “You know tonight Mr.
Alwyne has changed not only my
whole conception of his music
course, but my whole conception
of music, as well.” Amusing as
this revelation sounded that night,
nevertheless Mr. Alwyn exempli-

fied as few other have the most
important element. in any study of
music: a love for niusic.

A non-student of his, overhearing
the discussion, remarked, “If there

+were~only’a way to tell him how

much this concert meant to me,
and to thank him.”

These expressions of appreciation
and gratitude are a small part of
the thanks which Mr. Alwyne de-
serves.

A. Times Editorial
Applauds Dudden

On Saturday, April 13 the New
York Times printed an editorial
entitled “Ships As Monuments” in
reference to a letter written by Mr.
Arthur Dudden of the History De-
partment. We reprint excerpts:

“A Professor of History at Bryn
Mawr, Arthur P. Dudden, made an
eloquent and closely seasoned plea
in a recent letter to the Times
against the scrapping of the cruiser
Olympia, the flagship of Admiral
Dewey at the Battle of Manila
Bay. He pointed out that he could
make effective use of the Olympia
in the teaching of American his-
tory. It was a monument: to an
epochal change no less than a
restored battlefield or a historical
museum. A visit to the ship in
Philadelphia, could make history
really come alive: In our judgment,
he is right. We join heartily as we
have in the past, in the protesting
against the plan to scrap the
Olympia. It is too significant a
part of our national life.

“Exactly the same arguments
apply with equal force to. the case
of the carrier Enterprise ... Like
the Olympia,, big E symbolizes
something in American history.

In terms of minutes, dancin
comprised only a minor part of t
Arts Night Program this year.
Yet the two numbers presented
were as different as the old hack-
neyed night and day. Both were
well performed within their limits.

Ako Hasebe’s Japanese dances
were, in the full sense of the word,
charming. Miss MHasebe’s first
number was her own interpreta-
tion of a Japanese song entitled
“Moonlight on an Ancient Castle”.
Although the interpretation was
announced as a “modern dance”
Miss Hasebe’s movements were
visibly influenced by the tradition-
al steps of the type of folk dance
she performed later, rather than
by the Martha Graham convolu-
tions we usually label as “modern”
and “dance.” Fortunately, — this
comparatively and almost static
quality of Miss Hasebe’s interpre-
tation was appropriate in its Jap-
anese flavor and, also aided her in
the difficult but successful feat of
singing her own accompaniment,
Miss Hasebe’s second number
was a Japanese folk dance, making

mime common to all traditional

use of a certain amount of panto-|.

ly simple, but Miss Hasebe’s con-

{sistent control over tempo and her

gracefulness in general provided
an unusual treat for the audience.
The next dance number, “Back to
Trinidad”, choreographed by Leora
Luders and danced by Mrs, Latti-
more, Mrs. Dudden, Cynthia Love-
lace, Leora Luders and Marissa
Gori, was as far from Japan as the
fluorescent effects in which it was
performed were from the pink
light of Miss Hasebe’s dance.

“Back to Trinidad” was the-
atricalized calypso; the stage ef-
fects. with their faceless figures
were striking and very clever, Ad-
herence to the basic calypso step
could have almost caused the
charge of lack of variety to be lev-
elled at the number were it not for
the choreographer’s own cleverness
in “active blocking”’.

“Trinidad” was gay, rhythmic
and imaginative. The dancers were
very competent; their — ah — en-
ergy was astounding.

Dance, Carnival

Spark Weekend

by Liz Rennolds °59

’59 expects to “go in and. win”
as far as their weekend is concern-
ed this year. They have risen up
in revolt against the. grand oM
tradition of “Sophomore Carnival”,
“We're not exactly sure what it
will be,”. says Bette Haney, class
president, “but we’re going to have
something bigger and better than
ever!” Ideas are forming and
pouring in, .. it is’said, as to how
one of the main events of the year
can be revitalized into a real suc-
cess.

Paint Your Wagon has been
chosen for the Maids and Porters

‘}8how which will be given on Friday

and Saturday nights, April 26 and
27, in Goodhart. Rehearsals have

been underway since before Spring

Vacation. Whitney Drury, Music
Director, says that there will be an
orchestra again this year. It will
certainly add to the musical de-
light of the show.

“We have lovely sets... if they
ever get built,” says Penny Eld-
redge,. Stage Manager. This seems
a likely possibility since girls have

seriously believe that France can
keep her sovereignty in Algeria.

of France’s Empire

have been trained in French schools
ideals of French
démocracy, which are so ill applied
in their bureaucratically-run coun-

try.

As most of the population of
Algeria are illiterate and politically
indifferent, an elite minority is
pushing jndependence. The French
use this as an argument against
independence, ‘but one which is less
cogent than the fact that Algeria
is completely assimilated to France
politically. Indeed the complete
privileges of Algerians have creat-
ed a minority problem in France
similar to that of roerts Ricans in
New~ York:

The French government is trying
to form a consistent policy with
regard to Algeria, but thanks to
the famous French individualism,
there are wide divergences of opin-
ion, and constant vacillation bet-
ween programs of conciliation and
use of violence. It is certain that
the present situation is untenable.

The advent of French industry
has created a very serious ur-
ban proletariat problem, and be-
cause there is no adequate native
bureaucracy, Mr. Betts forsees
chaos similar to that in Indonesia.

chronism today,” Freneh North

of “political devolution,” not only
in the sense of a handing over of
power, but also in the biological
sense of the word—degeneration.

Madrigals, Diano Solo, String Quartet, - Original Composition Highlight Arts Night

Continued from Page 4
by Anne Sprague

The musical contributions to this
year’s Arts Night were, on the
whole, of a very high calibre. Early
on the program were four mad-
rigals, divided between two groups
of singers. Leslie Kandell directed
a group of women’s voices; the
other, a mixed group, was directed
by Charlie Fassett, Both were ex-
cellent. Leslie’s group sang an Eng-
lish madrigal by Thomas Morley,
My Bonnie Lass, She Smileth, and
Revecy Venir du Printans, a 16th
century French madrigal by Claude
Le Jeune. Sung with evident plea-
sure and--carefyl attention to
musical details, these two~ select-
ions were thoroughly enjoyable.
Noteworthy was the voice balance:
each part was distinct but the
whole was very well integrated.

Charhie’s group was consider-
ably smaller, but nevertheless,
eonveyed an impression of full-
ness usually reserved for a greater
number of voices. The dynamics
were particularly good, especially
in diLasso’s Ich Waiss Mir Ein
meidlein. The range of the last
selection, O Chi Manza Mia, also
by diLasso, was somewhat low for
the alto, but the group sang al-
ways with feeling, and the result
was very successful.

Later in the program were two
more madrigals, Flora, Wilt Thou
‘Torment -andFire .and Light-
ning from Heaven, by Thomas
Morley. Sung by Ellie Childs and
Charlie Fassett, each was delight-
ful. The voices were well suited,
both to each other and to the style

of the music, and although “Fire
and Lightning, especially is very
difficult, Ellie and Charlie seemed
to have mastered the technical
problems, and were able to con-
centrate on the purely musical as-
pects.

One of the high points of the
evening was the Bach B Minor
Suite for flute and strings, played
by Betsy Johnson, flute; Barbara
Booth and Mrs. Cunningham, vio-
lins; Bob Benjamin, viola; and
Dorothy Reichenberger, cello. Ori-
ginally..scored for flute solo and
small string orchestra, the suite
as played here suffered somewhat
from its performance by solo flute
and string quartet. This scoring
tends to make each part equally im-
portant resulting in some occa-
sional confusion. In spite of this,

the suite was always interesting.|.

The musicians were obviously
very competent, especially Betsy
and Dorothy, who, with usually
perfect intonation, delineated the
solo and continuo parts as clearly
as was possible under the circum-
stances. Outstanding in this respect
(and closest to the original scoring)

‘was the “Double” section of the

Polonaise.

Betsy occasionally tended to
quicken the pace as the, going got
difficult, but special credit must go
to her for her performance of the
fiendishly difficult last movement.
Here she kept a steady tempo, and
with her usual clear tone, led the

others to a Véry successful concli~}-

sion of the famous suite.

Closing the first half of the pro-
gram, were four piéces by Debussy
and Chopin, played by Terry Elsom.



Outstanding was. the first: De-
bussy’s La Terrasse dés Audi-
ences de Clair de Lune. Terry’s
talents are very much at home in
Debussy’s impressionism, and she
is able to exploit the wide resources
of the piano to an extraordinary
degree. The pedals, for instance, so
often carelessly used even by fam-
ous pianists, were used by Terry
with detailed care, now blending
the notes into a hazy pastel mass,
now allowing a single note or
phrase to stand out with the clar-
ity of a drop of water... Unfortun-
ately, in later numbers, perform-
ance pressures restricted Terry
from the facility of expression that
was so evident in the Debussy, but
did not diguise the obvious talents
of this gifted pianist.

Bob Benjamin, provided an effect-
ive framework for the program as
a whole. A short trio of his served
as overture, and later in the even-
ing, Charlie Fassett conducted a
small orchestra in accompaniment
to a song Bob had written on a text
by Connie’ Horton. The music was
simple but very lovely, and Ellie
Childs sang it with sincerity and
sensitivity. Unluckily, due to Bob’s
lack of experience in vocal writing
and not enough rehearsal time,
Connie’s words were mostly lost.

Most successful was Bob’s in-
cidental mf@sic to Connie’s play,
“An Obliging Love,” which closed
the program. Bob has the remark-
able ability of being able-to_create
in a few measures a strong sense

of atmosphere, and in conjunction
with Connie’s play, which on first
acquaintance seemed lost (to this
reviewer, anyway) in a myriad of
metaphors, his music lent: both
body and a measure of reality.
Well performed by Bob’s orchestra,
the music was beautifully integrat-
ed with both the words and the ac-
tions of the play.

Through the program, with
remarkably rare exceptions, the
musicians conveyed their own

confidence to the audience, with the
result that Arts Night was, music-
ally, at least, a pleasanter display
of Bryn Mawr-Haverford talents
than we have seen in a long time.
This, coupled with some high points-
of achievement, made this year’s
Arts Night the success it was.
