Harpsichord, Voice Alternate
With Suite, Songs, Sonatas

- by Kristine Gilmartin

‘Older (16th and 17th centuries)
music with its own charm, style,
and limitations was discussed and
performed excellently by Albert
Fuller, hanpsichord, and Jean
Hakes, soprano, This journey back
in time was the workshop concert
sponsored by the Friends of Music,
February 15 in the Music Room of
Goodhart.

Mr. Fuller began by giving some
background:.on the harpsichord,
the keyboard instrument - from
1500-1800. ‘However, it was con-
sidered inflexible even in its own
time, for since the strings were
plucked by quills no gradations of
volume were possible. Most had
two keyboards to increase color
possibilites. ’Modern reproductions,
like Mr. Fuller’s, have five pedals,
used like organ stops to obtain a
crescendo.

Rich Bass Evident

A Ramaud Suite in D minor began

the musical part of the program.
The Allemand and Courant were
both formal pieces with no message
of figurative interpretation, merely
a pattern the composer considered
pleasant; In the first a~surpris-
ingly rich bass was evident as well
as the trills needed for ornamen-
tation on the harpsichord. -The
Courant had many of the same
characteristics but at a swifter
pace.

Nextin the suite was La Vil-
lageoise with the naivete of a
country girl and a soft, danceable
quality. Rappelle des Oiseaux,
the roll call of the birds, ‘was a de-
lightful imitation of the uncertain,
hesitant twittering of real birds.
In fact, this kind of delicate swift-
ness is one of the harpsichord’s
special talents.

The suite continued with two
Rigodants and a double variation,

~~gay and-humorous in @ hearty “way.
- Then. a. Musette. with .slow,. rolled

SS ne

chords as the undercurrent for
treble trills. A Tambourin, bag-
pipe-like and with a strong, almost
military rhythm, concluded this
set of pieces.

Plight of Singer

Miss Hakes also prefaced her
music with some information—
this time on the plight of the con-
temporary singer in regard to
style. Though trained to ‘sing 19th
century music, the musician may
prefer to sing older music and
must alter her style accordingly.
Flexibility is necessary.

She performed selections from
the Elizabethan Song Book with
a fineness of expression and tone
and a delightfull sense of humor,
“Every bush new springing” by
Michael Cavendish was gentle and
full of spring. “I care not for
these ladies”—a typical sentiment
here expressed ‘by Thomas Cam-
pion—was fresh and gay, and sung
with ‘spirit. Cavendish’s “Wander-
ing in this place” was sad and
strong. “Fire, fire’ was frenzied,
and turned out not to be a sum-
mons for the hook and ladder but
a complaint about the flames of
passion.

Three arias from early German
opera by Krieger (1648-1725) were
Miss Hakes’s next choices. The

first, about a man who married for}

money and became a slave to his
‘wife, was pleasant, and though
not very different from the preced-
ing songs was bigger in tone. A
“heart-rending” song of an infatu-
ated lover was slower and almost
sobbing. “Darkness is a friend of



lovers” was the theme of the third
exceedingly amusing aria, The
first verse praised darkness, the
second wondered whether it ‘was
entirely good, and the third decided
that on the whole it was desirable.
Swift, pronounced jrhythm was im-
portant,

Different Harpsichords

‘Mr. Fuller, afiter some comments
on the difference between harpsi-
chords made in Italy, France, and
England, played five Sonatas in D
by Domenico Scarlatti. The first
three resemble each. other purpose-
ly; the last two are from an earli-
er period and carry the cross hand
technique to the nth degree.

The first sonata was major and
gave the impression of organiza-
tion with its strong plucked bass
and more melody than trills. The
second featured a syncopated bass.
A peppy march-like quality made
the third memorable along with a
pleasant figure such as a lute
might play.

A bass crowded with chords, and
frequent furious arpeggios differ-
entjated the fourth sonata from the
three related ones which preceded.
The last revealed Mr. Fuller as a
master of his instrument in the ex-
tremely difficult rapid crossovers
so characteristic of Scarlatti,

The concert returned to the vo-
cal for its conclusion, Miss Hakes
sang “Sweeter than roses” by
Purcell which she described as “an
early atmosphere piece”. The trills
and ornaments on a sustained note
were’ very well done. Haydn’s
“Sailor’s Song” was marvelous.
“Hurly burly” certainly described

Against the background of Bib-
lical insights, Mr. Philip Scharper
last Sunday evening discussed the
problem of guilt in Camus’ The
Fall, the problem of suffering in
Faulkner’s The Sound and the
Fury, and the problem of love in
Graham Greene’s The Power and
the Glory. The occasion was the
third in Interfaith’s series of
monthly lectures, Mr. Scharper, a
prominent Catholic editor and pro-
féssor, had entitled this talk; “The
Prophetic Voice. in.. Modern. Fic-
tion.”

Jean Baptists Clemence, the pro-
tagonist of Albert Camus’ The
Fall, goes on a “voyage of self-dis-
covery” because he cannot over-
come his guilt at having abandon-
ed a human being. He comes to
the realization that he has never
loved anyone but himself; that in
Martin Buber’s terminology he has
never had an I-thou companionship.
but always an I-it relationship.
Yet, what he fears is not punish-
ment by God or by himself, but the
judgment of his contemporaries.

‘Clemence is an example of the



‘modern secular man. “God is ab-

Open Discussion
Concerns Budget

In an open meeting held Febru-
ary 20, Miss McBride outlined the
proposed budget for the 77th Aca-
demic Year. The college’s chief
monetary goals willbe an increase
in faculty salaries with no increase
in tuition or other student fees.

The total budget for next year
will come to $2,700,000 and can be
broken down into nine hundred
thousand dollars from tuition, seven
hundred thousand from endow-
ments, two hundred thousand from
grants and gifts, and the remain-
der from student residence fees
and rentals.

(Miss McBride noted that this
year the school is spending over
one hundred per cent of the tuition
it receives on faculty salaries. The
President added that the salary
for an instructor is now the same
as the 1946 top salary for full pro-
fessors. :

(Discussing the source of monies
for salary increases, Miss McBride

seven thousand dollars each will
be drawn from two funds which
have no. spe@fically designated
use. Students then voiced their
opinions on possible ways of econ-
omizing in the coming year.

Suggestions__included_ having







more student waitresses, having

chens, discontinuing. the college’s

Ridiculous is Sublime: in Freshman Show:
Reviewer Lauds

The director and cast of A Rose is a Romanoff will no doubt be crushed to hear this, but I do not
think they have succeeded in laughing romance off the face of the earth. Unfortunately, they are too
talented for that: while attempting to make the sublime ridiculous, they are able only to make the ridicu-

Music, Dances

This is partly because of the production’s heterogeneous nature. In its liveliness, its rich use
of color and poetic choreography, its attempt at more than the usual music effects, and its unusually good
direction, ’64’s show seemed to be following the path blazed last year by The Happiness Germ. But in-
stead of applying this poetic treatment to a naive, poetic subject, like that of last year’s show, the

freshmen tried to offer sophisticat-
ed satire in the manner of this
year’s junior show.

Beauty and Silliness

The result is that, although the
script seems to demand that one
laugh at Amelia, the Baroness,
and the Pigeon Woman, the charm
of the acting was such that one
actually felt guilty for laughing.
The blend of beauty and silliness
proved somewhat troubling to an
audience not prepared for ambi-
guity; confusion reached its height
during the song “Lovingly Seated”,
when half the spectators received
as a joke what the other half were
trying, with some embarrassment,
to take seriously.

The only character not gently
treated by the satire was the blasé
Barbara, a ttoe-familiar stage type
who seemed even more unpleasant
than she was by contrast with the
rest of the cast. To say that she

and all of the introductory first
act might well have been omitted
is no reflection on Wenda Wardell,
who played the part as well as she
could under the circumstances.

Good Acting

But in some mysterious way, all
the other ‘characters managed to
be lovable, even within the rather
narrow limits of their lines, For
example, Mr. Higgens (Joanna

‘| Woodrow), dragged through the

play by his wife like a wet dish-
rag, was able, in the space of two
lines, to establish a whole charac-
ter, :

On a larger scale, Carol Schrier’s
performance as Amelia was a love-
ly, tinkling example of perfect
seriousness applied. to perfect, non-
sense. Stone walls do not a prison
make, -but who else could have
made us believe it? (Without the
irrepressible gaiety of her last
speech, we would have left the
theatre convinced that the fresh-
men had brought forth the first
tragedy in the history of class
shows. I am still rather uncom-
forable about the future of those
characters in Siberia, but perhaps
it’s not bleak with Russian danc

ers every night. it

Pigeon Woman Remembered

Judy Zinsser’s tiny Baroness was
a delight, and deserved the ap-
plause she received for her inspir-
ed delivery of relatively common-
place lines. Gabrielle Schupf’s
Pigeon Woman is likely to be re-
membered longer than anything
else in the show, and with reason,
since her dancing held the essence
of the production’s special quality,
both lovely and funny. ;
For sheer, wild, enthusiastic
characterization, Ruth TWilliam-
son’s Salvation Army woman could
not have been bettered. Kenneth

kKiven at open meetings which boast a larger attendance,
the lack ot previous knowledge on the subjects under dis-
cussion is sometimes appaliing. Key tigures in the Kiection
system Kevision Committee complained that students would
come to their meetings without having taken the trouble to
discover what stage the group had reached. in its work or to
document the remarks they were planning to make. The result
was that each week students would talk at great length and
with innumerable generalizations on topics which had been
considered weeks earlier.

What does all this mean? It does not mean that Bryn
Mawr students have no idea and no interest in their campus
life. 1t simply means that the “average” member of the col-
lege community — that is, the student who has no important
oftice and will probably not be asked to vote on every new
rule or idea that comes up — is only too willing to let some-
one else take care of her gripes and with the information
she should be aware of. Our trouble is not apathy (witness
the vehement private discussions that go on over campus
issues) but laziness. Laziness is not a difficult problem to
combat, but it must be combatted; otherwise our open meet-
ings will become nothing more ‘than a means for rubber
stamping decisions made by a few people.

On a campus of this size every opinion counts, and every
voice can be heard, but we must think out our opinions and
above all use the correct channels for airing them if we want
them to have an effect.

to academic tradition. Self-discipline! — that is the key to

Mawr this week in connection with

a Radcliffe student government
exchange

program. Two Bryn
Mawr juniors, . ‘Marilyn ’ Kilburn
and Elaine Cottler, are currently
visiting Radcliffe.

“The program has no general
purpose,” says Linda Ruben. “The
visit is to benefit me, not Rad-
cliffe. While here at Bryn Mawr
I can do anything I want, study
in my room, visit classes, go to
meetings, or talk with. Bryn Mawr
students. Of course when I get
back to Radcliffe, I’ll have to write
a paper. Thus I’ve been taking a
few notes. ‘We’ll also have a ‘liv-
ing room talk’\headed by a panel
of the girls whd\go out to visit
the other colleges. (This year
Radcliffe students were sent to the
University of Pennsylvania, Duke,
Howard, Sarah Lawrence, and
Bryn Mawr). These talks are quite
well attended, which is unusual at
Radcliffe,

“The program. has changed. Last
year the schedules of the students
who visited Radcliffe were more
formal. Now programs are less
tightly organized. ‘Last year vis-
iting students participated in the
living room talks. Now we have
only one formal tea. The rest of
their time’s their own.”

‘Because of her short stay at
Bryn Mawr, Linda feels that she
can not yet make general state-
ments concerning her impressions
of the college. However, she found
the girls in Rhoads to be “terribly
friendly—fighting over what I am
going to do.” .When she was told
about Hell ‘Week she found it a
lovely custom, “impressing in the
sentimental attachment the girls
have for it.” (Radcliffe has no
such traditions.) - Also impressive
was the interest Bryn Mawr girls

take in changing the election sys-

tem. (Rhoads she found to be a
beautiful dormitory and her room

wcaton should be. Of course, we

Dear Edited}:
In the last issue of the College

News, p. 2, three articles attract-
ed my atteftion as having some-
thing in common: the Editorial,
“Lacking Something?”, “Practice
of .. Logic Goads- Journalists to
Urge Creativity” andthe Letter
to the Editor about “S»minars as
Discussion Keys.” J

[Rach one of them conveys the
feeling that something is lacking
among us, a very salutary feeling
indeed, for in many languages
there is a proverb “only. pigs are
satisfied”, (Sometimes this lack is
talked about, but not too often,
When it is, it is usualy expressed
as'a lack of social life, meaning,
I imagine, that we are “out of it”,
secluded, Perhaps we are; but it
certainly is an individual matter,
and might well be left up to the
individuals for a solution; which
might be as drastic as finding a
less “secluded” campus. On the
whole we are offered as balanced a
life as can probably be had for a
female student community, one in
which academic life is ito receive
the importance and efficiency Bryn
Mawr College is known for. A
certain amount of seclusion, when
studying, amounts to a privileged
state of protection.

‘However, the three articles I
mentioned refer to another sort of
lack—which, to find a common
term, could be ‘called intellectual
activity. At least, so it appears
to’ me.~ What exactly intellectual

activity means is hard to define,
but let’s leave it vague. It cer-

papers,-going-to-lectures and con-

ferences, writing for the News
and doing outside reading. But
perhaps the most lively part of in-
tellectual activity is that of dis-
cussion, exchanging ideas and de-
bating them.

This I do not meet with too
often. it is as though our aca-
demic work were on the same level
as a job, for the husband, when
he leaves his office, does not like
to speak about it, He wants to
forget about it, and his family
probably is not eager to hear about
it. (Of course it depends on the
job ... nor does he have months
of ‘holidays to get out of it. And,
of course, whether or not we want
to incorporate our studies into our
college lives depends on what our
studies mean to us. Therefore,
how is one to explain the fact that
so little discussion about topics we
study go on outside classrooms?
Are we uninterested or do we feel
inadequate? Do we have a teach-
er to organize it and suggest ques-
tions, provide correct answers, or
do we simply forget that so much
reading means, we hope, at least
one-half so much knowledge, and
that this knowledge can come alive
if we compare to apply it to new
subjects and facts and problems?
Do we forget that the next student
has probably seen another side of
the same question, and that to-
gether we may find more sides to
it, and enjoy it immensely? Does

this have to happen in an organ-

ized debating club, at a certain
time, on a certain topic chosen be-
forehand ?

of this process, the emphasis last week was on subordination
or submission to some demanding master — whether the
Navy, the lords of the manor, the hand at the other end of

in the face of this book, we present
a few additional. torrid. quotes; this

type of aggressive man in whose

most scarifying terms, one might
almost say she was looking for a

Undergrad’s President Sketches Post
As “All Things To All Men’ Office



President Notes Vital Responsibilitie
Inherent in Leadership of Self-Gov.

The following are the texts of the speeches given by ipso facto organizations heads, Betsy Frantz,
Undergrad, and ‘Carolyn Goldmark,’ Self-Government. At an open meeting in Goodhart, Monday, February
20, these speeches were presented. As specified in the election revision amendment to the Undergrad

Constitution, they are being reproduced in the News.

by Betsy Frantz

As the function of the Undergraduate Associa-
tion seems to defy precise definition, so too the
presidency of Undergrad is a pot-pourri of wide
scope, not clearly delineated, The role of the Un-
dergrad president as a coordinator of undergradu-
ate activities, and personal liaison between students,
administration, faculty; and alumnae makes her a
sort of “all things to all men” being. At the same
time, she easily comes to be relied upon as an omnis-
cient source of information on a wide range of un-
related questions, the gamut of which has unpredict-
ably included: technicalities of the preferential vot-
ing system, the delivery of strawberries for May
Day breakfast, the possibility of broadcasting Hav-
erford football games over WBIMIC, the name of the
Student Body President of Harvard, the dietary
habits of Robert Frost, and so on ad infinitum.

_ In working as a coordinator, the Undergrad
president confers daily with members of the admin-
istration and faculty, as well as with hall presidents,
and the many individuals who participate in Under-
grad functions. She meets with her Activities Board
and the Executive Board regularly to discuss any
problems of scheduling, traditions, or issues which
may arise. She is responsible for planning the
agenda for these meetings, and for the monthly Col-
lege Council with Miss (McBride, and she must use

‘her own discretion to determine under whose juris-

diction various problems fall if the Constitution is
unclear, or in which Board a situation would be
most beneficially discussed.

Has Uutimate Responsibilities

The president of. Undergrad works through her
Boards a great deal, but the ultimate responsibility
for the organization of traditions, social events,
speakers, elections, clubs, Freshman Week, and
other matters which are constitutionally the func-
tion of the Association, rests with the president.
It is necessary, therefore, to work out many details.

In addition to her responsibilites on campus, the
president of Undergrad is often called wpon, with
the president of SelfGov, to represent the college
at a large conference, or to represent undergradu-
ates at an alumnae gathering. She also meets many
guests who come to the college. This summer, for
example, I attended a Student Body Presidents’ con-
ference at the University of Minnesota, sponsored
‘by the National Student Association; In a lighter
vein, I have spent time discussing the college with



writers from Mademoiselle in preparation for an

article which is forthcoming about Bryn Mawr. We
are presently working on arrangements for the an-
nual. meeting of (Student (Body Presidents. of the
Seven College Conference, which old and new officers
will attend. Because of these contacts and the quer-
ies which ensue, it is important that the President
be able to articulate student opinion and reflect the
attitudes of the college as accurately as possible.

In at least one respect I would like to see the
More than
anything, the N.S.A. conference impressed upon
me the importance of having issues of significance
outside the collgee community brought to the atten-
tion of students. I think Undergrad could do more
in this respect than we have done recently. There
are several areas of concentration which I antici-
pate for next year, and in which the new president
will necessarily become involved, We have revised
our election system this month. There are, however,
many questions concerning the functions of the
ipso facto organizations and their relationship to
each other which need re-evaluation. ‘We have
commenced discussions of these problems in College
Council and in committees, but we have barely be-
gun. The communication between the Three Col-
leges has also been worked on and improved this
year, but needs to be furthered. These are a few
of the broader problems which will probably have to
be dealt with in addition to the daily tasks outlined
above.

Ideal President Described

It is not easy, nor am I convinced that I am
qualified to enumerate the qualities which a presi-
dent of Undergrad should possess. Hence, I offer
the following qualifications tentatively, and they
are not necessarily a reflection of those qualities
present in the current president, but rather in an
ideal President. Interest in the college is perhaps
paramount. It is not sufficient to be interested in

by Carolyn Goldmark

The presidency of Salf-Gov is the unique kind
of job in which any amount of expended energy will
be repaid a thousand-fold. The expectations and
functions of the office are unending, but fortunately
so, for it is this quality which makes serving Self-
Gov so personally involving. In each area of re-
sponsibility thought, care, love and daily leg-work
are essential.

The primary concerns of Self4Gov (I shall use -
this term interchangeably with the presidency, for
they are one and the same) sare focused on the indi-
vidual, As president one has three channels access-
ible to the student, the Advisory Board, the Execu-
tive Board, and the Academic Honor Board,

Must Have Suggestions

(On a weekly basis the president meets with the
nall presidents, comprising the- Advisory Board, to
discuss infringements, hall problems, policy, and any
interests of campus-concern. In light of these facts
the president of Self-Gov must constantly have at
her fingertips sound suggestions, clearly understood
interpretations of Self-Gov policies, and a general
awareness of campus feeling, Furthermore, she
must have a sound grasp of the general administra-
tion policies so that the two areas do not conflict.
It is her duty to keep them straight. In Advisory
Board, such problems as: whom to have for Christ-
mas dinner, lighting on campus versus the safety
of the individual, what to do with an intoxicated
guest, and how to handle infringements, are dis-
cussed,

In many ways this Board, over which the pres-
ident presides, is the most important unit of Self-
Gov, for it. is through the hall presidents that the
entire tone of the campus is established, Commun-
ity interest, responsibility, and respect often depend
on the very functioning of these vital individuals.
The president of Self-Gov must maintain a tightly
knit rapport with the hall presidents in order to
insure the normal functioning of student life.

‘Carrying with her the problems and ideas ex-
pressed in Advisory ‘Board, the president goes week-
ly to the Executive Board. This body is comprised
of the four college-elected- members and the six
class-elected officers of Self-Gov. The president
also chairs this Board. The concern of this body is
largely policy formulation, ‘regulation revisions,
and judicial actions, ; The function of the president

_on this board is largely one of “fact”. presentation _—_—

and guidance. By fact presentation I mean the
presentation of all those ideas, problems and con-
fusions which have sprouted up during the week
and need clarification, discussion or decision. In rela-
tion to the cases that come before the board it is
the president’s job to speak with the girl before-
hand and to make sure that, at the meeting, the girl
as well as the board understands the altontion thor-_
oughly.

Coordinating Function

It is through this board that Self-Gov action
evolves. For example, the birth of the new driving
rule came about only after much discussion, plan-
ning and organization by all the members of this
body. iAny problem which is’ not immediately solv-
able by the Advisory Board is turned over to the
Executive Board. Whereas the Advisory Board gives
rise to policy formulation, the Executive Board ac-
tually establishes policy. The president coordinates -
the two,

The president, in relation to both these boards,
must be: adept at anticipating the various occur-
rences on campus before they arise, open-minded
when it comes to dealing with problems and new
ideas, and receptive to the advice and aid of others.

The third channel to the individual is the Aca-
demic Honor. Board, comprised of members of the
administration and college-elected members of the
association. It is in the meetingof this ‘board that
all operations of the system are considered and all
infringements of the system are handled. It is up
to the president of Self-Gov to be aware of the dis-
satisfactions felt by the students and the faculty in
the various areas of the Academic Honor System.
She must be able to present all the facts necessary
for discussion, revision, or judicial action.

Out of this primary range of routine action, the
president of Self+Gov has other numerous and: unend-
ing duties. Time does not permit an elucidation of
all these duties at this moment so a few must suf-

Crowd Scenes Well Done

Nicole Schupf was fortunate in

in her. The same visual imagina-
tion seen in her Under Milkwood
marked her handling of crowd
scenes, especially in the last act,
and the simple, effective sets as
well as the beautiful (if somewhat

puzzling) costumes. The dances
were, as last year, the most effect-

ive part of the show, and seemed
to arise naturally out of the play’s
situations instead of being shoved
on from the wings.

The songs were also well fitted
to their places in the show, and
for this reason will probably not
ibe remembered long. This is a
pity, since they had excellent lyr-
ics and were as tuneful as any
show songs within my memory. I
particularly liked the choruses and
““Miklovitch”, which bubbled along
in the best Gilbert and Sullivan
manner, .

the expected way. Heavy-handed
attempts at political jokes were
happily absent; in fact, Russia
seemed to exist only as a figment

as an excuse for the wonderful

‘and responsibilities. Soon after her election she
will arrange and chair a joint meeting of the Exec-
utive and Advisory Boards with (Miss McBride, the
wardens, and the administration, in which campus
problems will be discussed.
Freshman Week Activities

Aside from lesser functions, such as arranging
for Self4Gov provisions for the geology field trip,
conducting exams, aiding in Parents’ Weekend, par-
ticipating in the Seven College Conference ,which
will be held here this year), concern with dress regu-
lations, etc., she will start making provisions for the
Self+Gov constitutional revision which will be enact-
‘ed next year, Next fall, and for that matter over
this entire summer, the new [president’s concern will
be with making the freshman aware and receptive

the Self4Gov rules, regulations and tone. She will
send letters and constitutions to all. freshmen and
will aid in dormitory provisions, guidance and reg-
ulation for those in the off-campus halls as well as
for those in the large on-campus halls. Her special
concern will be, and shall remain throughout the
year, the satisfaction and well-being of the fresh-
man clas. Her first night back she will make a
speech focused on the tone of Self-Gov to the in-
coming freshmen. Along with the Executive Boards
she will make up and correct the Self-Gov exams,
hold further meetings with the administration and
continue in her routine and extra duties. Of vital
importance will be the role she will play in the’
handling of the newly-acquired driving rule, and
the role she must play in not only the Self-Gov
‘constitutional revision but in the entire ipso facto
organizations revision.

Additional Functions

Aside from the various jobs expected of each
board and thus ultimately of the president, she will
sit on the Executive Board of the Undergrad Asso-
ciation (as a liaison between the two organizations).
Once a month she will also attend College Council
meetings. Both of the functions enable the presi-
dent of Self-Gov to maintain a awareness of all _
areas of eld Mawr life.

will become tedious unless one can feel that the
work is significant. Further, the president’s tasks
will be much more easily carried out if, in addition
to interest and enthusiasm for her work, she has a
facility for working well with others. It is essen-
‘tial to establish rapport with many members of the
college community so that one can, at once, com-

-| municate one’s own ideas, and be receptive to those

of others. Thus, the president should have an abil-

-ity—for_organization” to carny through the details, |
and, at the same time, she should have a broad per-

spective in order to evaluate ‘and initiate policy.

I do not think it is essential that a girl have
served on Undergrad boards if she is to be an effect-
ive president. She should, however, be familiar
with the Association and its relationship to the col-
lege community.

Rewarding Experience

In closing, I would like to say that it has been
challenging and very rewarding for me to be presi-
dent of the Undergraduate Association. The satis-
factions have been more than adequate recompense
for the hours invested. It has been a privilege to
have been able to work closely with members of the
student body, the administration, the faculty, and
the Alumnae Association. I am confident.that this
will be so for our next precio as well.

Desirable Qualities



‘When considering an ideal candidate for Self-
Gov one might look for open-mindedness and ongan-
izational ability, creativity and interest in individ-
uals, thoughtfulness and diplomacy and finally ded-
ication and light-heartedness (one often needs a
sense of humor!)

I might say. that I wish evenyone could have the
wonderful. opportunity I did. The job was not a job,

‘From the point of view of an
place. ‘ Professors publish books

-College News,.the Review, and the
yearbook, not to mention the nu-
merous papers in half a dozen lan-
guages and assorted lengths. And
so, not surprisingly, the alumnae
also have a literary outlet.

The Bryn Mawr Alumnae Bulle-
tin is published four times a year
by the association and has been a
thriving magazine since its first
appearance in 1907. It was found-
ed with a dual purpose: to com-
municate the “class notes” to keep
the alumnae up to date on each
other’s activities after graduation,
and to present more serious and ed-
ucational articles for. alumnae
readers. The Bulletin also prints
special reports from the associa-
tion and the college.

Most articles are solicited from
men and women who have some re-
lation to Bryn Mawr. Faculty and
alumnae are frequent contributors:
‘Miss Lehr has a bibliography of
Mathematics in the latest edition,
and Elaine Marks, ’52, has a de-

and articles. Students put out the

‘turers and speakers under other
lectureships also are represented;

Victor Lange, who spoke here this

fall, has an essay on Bertolt
Brecht.

Careful planning goes into each
issue, The Winter, 1961 number
was centered around the theatre
and art. Caroline Swann, ’33,
wrote “Producing ‘The Hostage’ ”
and Lois Poter, ’61 and former
News Copy Editor, describes Bren-
dan Behan’s visit to Bryn Mawr,
“A Mixture of Poetry and Irrever-
ance’.

Though there is a tendency to-
day toward the inclusion of more
serious material in alumnae pub-
lications all over the country,
Bryn Mawr seems unusual in hav-
ing always credited their former
students with an interest in more
than mere gossip. Today the “Class
\Notes” take up one-third of the
magazine. The next issue will be
planned around “Cubism”. Cer-
tainly the Bulletin’s varied inter-
ests and high standards make it a
superior publication of its kind.

government for new African na-
tions is a government that the ma-
jority of the people want. On her
own Kenya, Wamere commented,
“When we get: our independence,
we will probably start out with a
single party system. We don’t.
want an opposition party just for
the sake of opposition: If the need
for a second party arises, that
party will develop.”

The majority of the panel mem-
bers felt that the white man will
soon be out of control of the
African governments, and will
then most probably leave Africa
unless he is able to accept com-
“plete integration and racial equal-
ity. The consensus was that Afri-
cans would be quite capable of tak-
ing the administrative posts now

held by Europeans.

~ Automatic Destruction

Asked to summarize -the influ-
ence of foreign cultures and colon-
jalism on Africa, the students
agreed that the white man’s. chief
mistake in Africa has been his
automatic destruction of anything
African he finds. Wamere declar-
ed, “The Europeans came to Africa

Participants come from the Uni-

The action, originated by students
at Germantown Friends School, is

- The YIND leaders offered a four-
point criticism of the Polaris pro-
gram:

“1) It is: dishonorable and im-
moral for any nation, under any
circumstance, to threaten to kill
tens of millions of the world’s peo-
ple. 2) Polaris will end virtually
all hopes for controlled disarma-
ment because of the near impos-
sibility of detecting the submar-
ines. 8) The Polaris sub, an ex-
.tremely complex weapon, will in-
crease the chance of war through
mechanical or psychological acci-
dent. 4) The Polaris program

Rights Committee
Marches to Help
Ejected Negros

The Bryn Mawr and Haverford
branches of the Philadelphia Stu-
dents Civil Rights Coordinating
Committee plan to hold a drive for
canned food to give to the Negro
communities in Fayette and Hay-
wood counties in Tennessee.

The two communities consist -of
seven hundred families who have
been evicted from their homes and
refused the right to buy food local-
ly because they voted in the last
election, The families are now
living in tents on land loaned to
them temporarily. They have no
means of procuring their own food.

The drive, scheduled for Satur-
day, March 4, will involve a house-
to-house solicitation of food in the
communities of Bryn Mawr, Hav-
erford and Ardmore, At a meeting
at Haverford this evening, stud-
ents will volunteer for the door-
to-door drive. According to Eliza-
beth Lynes;—.head of the = Civil
Rights Committee at Bryn Mawr,
those unable to attend the meeting
who are interested in the drive
should contact her in East House
as soon as possible, .. Volunteers
will also distribute leaflets on the
drive this Saturday, February 25.

The Civil Rights Coordinating
Committee has a histony of activ-
ities in its field. (Most recently it
onganized right-to-vote pickets at
both campaign headquarters on
Presidential Election Day.

On February 7 of this year, the

sion awarded the group one of two

‘Roman Ostia’ Thursday

Tomorrow evening at 8:30 in
Goodhart, Russell Meiggs, Fellow
and Tutor of Balliol College, Ox-
ford University, will discuss “Ro-
man Ostia.” Mr. iMeiggs, an author-
ity on Ostia, is a visiting professor
at Swarthmore this semester; and
will speak under the auspices of
the Class of 1902 and the Archae-

Ostia, the harbor city of Rome
at the mouth of the Tiber, has been
excavated by the Italians since be-
fore World War II. One of the
major revived cities, it’is more
Roman than: Pompeii. According
to Miss (Machteld Mellink, Mr.
Meiggs visited Ostia in the ’20’s
and roamed around on foot. “He
also knows it in its modem form,”
she added.

iMr. Meiggs recently published
the standard English work on Os-
tia, Ancient Ostia (Oxford Uni-
versty ‘Press, 1960). His field is
Ancient History, but he branches
out into archaeology. “He is now
studying problems of Athenian
history,” (Miss ‘Mellink revealed.

Illustrated by slides, the lecture
should \be “fascinating to outsid-
ers, because it will not be a tech-
nical talk of interest only to stu-
dent in the ffield,” promised Miss
Mellink. “He is a lively, excellent
speaker.”

According to an intervew in the
Swarthmore Phoenix, Mr. Meiggs,
teaching the social and economic
history of Rome, has interesting
menente on such varied topics as
priees of pay eee srlieidaa!, and
snow-rolling. Several Swarthmore
students have reported Meiggs can
be found enjoying himself in the
latter diversion frequently.

Mr. Meiggs indicated to his in-
terviewer that he was “bewildered
by the method and quantity of the
commercial pronouncements on our
mass media.” In fact, he ifinds it
highly disconcerting that an ad-
vertiser can pay a certain sum
-and know exactly how many peo-
ple he is going to reach. “Why
doesn’t someone organize the
American public?” he suggested.

HOW TO BE PREPPY

Ears open to talents exposed
in the past week’s activities se-
cured the following bits of fash-
ion philosophy. The “pigeon
woman” of the opposite page
volunteered (under sophomonic
pressure) interpretations of the
“preppy appearance’ (button
down McMullen, circle-pinned
collar, loafers, knee socks, plaid
pleated skirt). “The object of
appearing as such shows that
one is perceptive enough to no-
tice what everyone else is wear-~
ing; that one has strength of
character not to indulge in any
personal orignality; that one has
quickness of mind to take up
any new fad; one’s intelligence
in recognizing the futility of
‘inner directedness.’ “Preppiness
indicates ability to read labels
and to discern inherent dif-
ferention in the human species—
ie. the ins and the outs; shows
capacity to. entertain _facilely
social ‘relations with members
of community. And finally it
marks one’s ability to detach
oneself from the mere of
world. concerns.”

Czech Students Publish,

The News Service of the Inter-
national Union of Students, sent
to student. publications in the

United States, is an excellent ex-
ample of the “attrition” kind of
propaganda. Published by the Press
and Information Department of the
ISU, it has its headquarters in
Prague, Czechoslovakia. The same
ideas occur over and over until
the reader is almost too exhuasted
to disagree. The West in general
and the United States in particu-
lar are evil forces of imperialism
and militarism.

The pamphlet has only words of
commendation for student activi-
ties in the USSR, in Algeria and in
Cuba, yet the United ‘States’ por-
tion is constant censure,

It:seems unfortunate that the
pamphlet cannot do its job more
accurately and present a more non-
partisan appraisal of student ac-
tivity and opinion in all nations.

Essentially the idea behind the
News Service is good. It is inter-
esting for students to read of the
activities of their counterparts. all
over the world, and many of the
articles such as the one on the new
university in Moscow are absorb-
ing as long as they stick to the
facts.

parted on page 68 of the New York
Times for February 19, 1961, is
closely related to the eternal sci-
ence-rleigion conflict.

Part of the problem is the objec-
tion of certain religious sects to
mis-treatment of monkeys; a mass
accidental suffocation in 1955 re-
sulted in a temporary ban on ex-



‘ports from India. But some as-
pects of the question go deeper
than the popular issues raised by
Darwinism; the simian supply is
actually being. depleted,

Expensive Authropoids

With only 800,000 monkeys left
in India’s Uttar Pradesh, and with
sturdy chimpanzees running at
$2,000, “purchasing agents and
scientists alike agree that supply
colonies ‘should be built up and
maintained in or near the United
States.” (Perhaps Denbigh is in
truth one of the private research
groups now maintaining “breeding
colonies to supply enough animals
for their own experiments.” If so,
know that “outside investigators
may be invited to make special
studies on the premises”’.)

The whole situation raises myr-
iad questions of a moral and tele-
ological nature. There will surely
be some inspired to monkey~hunts,
others to investigation of the pos-
sibilities of simian stimulation; a
different camp will spring up to
defend the rights of monkeys; and
probably everyone will decide that
certain of his neighbors could
solve the whole question by simply
playing their true roles.

major aim’ of the project is to test
the manner in which adoptive par-
ents are selected. Robert IN. Downs,
president of the Children’s Bu-

project, “The major purpose of the
adoption agency is to select the
best homes possible for children

sponsored by the Continental Oil
Company of Houston, Texas and
Ponca City, Oklahoma.

Students at all accredited col-
leges and universities are eligible.

‘Contestants may enter either a re-
port on a research project conduct-
ed by themselves or an essay on

“The role of colloid and surface |

chemistry in some aspect of petro-
leum technology.”

The authors of the best essay
and the best report will each_re-

Such a large demand for adoption

services places a heavy responsi-
bility upon the resources of child
placing agencies.”

After January 1, 1962, two hun-
dred couples applying to adopt
their first child will be chosen to
participate in the project. The re-

adopted child and his parents from
the time of adoption until the
child has reached his early teens.
The agency staff will make per-
iodic observations of each family
during the first year after adop-
tion; then a Bryn Mawr research
team will take over for the re-
mainder of the study. Meanwhile,
about one hundred natural fam-
ilies will be used as a control group
with which adoptive families can
be compared. It is hoped that the
results of the study will improve
adoptive processes not only in Del-
aware, but in the rest of the Unit-
ed States as well.

Mr. Compson retreats to his de-

although not a Compson, accepts
the burden of the suffering and is

the Christ-like figure of the novel.
