Marshall, Dean of the College, re-
viewed the aims of liberal educa-

plans for a Faculty Show.
. Mrs. Marshall’s remarks were in

Quaker Appraises
Cold War Issues

The destructiveness of ‘modern
war, the “revolution of rising, ex-
pectations,”’
the world today, and, most im;
portant, “the spiritual ‘and’ mental
lag” in modern life were cited by
Mr. Samuel Levering as the most
pressing problems of our times.
_Mr. Levering, chairman of.’ the
Peace Board of the Five Year Meet-
ing of Friends and the Execatiye
Council of the Friends Committee
on National Legislation, ‘spoke ‘on
a “Quaker Appraisal of. the Cold
War” Monday evening, February
12 at the first meeting of the Cur-
rent Events Club this semester.

Mr. Levering ‘concentrated on
what he considered the four most
__ basic problems in the world today
‘and the solutions which he, as a
“ Quaker, would suggest for them.

He assumed that we all agree on
these ultimate objectives—individ-
ual liberty, the role of the gov-
ernment. as a. sort of “balance
wheel” to provide this liberty,
world peace and equal justice un-
~ der law. In addition, he mentioned
the Quaker belief that all human
beings — even the Communists —
have a respect for certain values.

Mr. Levering believes that dis-
‘-artiament with a civilian. world
police force as contro] is the only
possible alternative to atomic war-
fare. This,.goal. may be somewhat
utopian, fbut™ it-.is nevertheless
worthwhile.

“It is gliiind easy to say that
what is needed above all else in
underdeveloped countries is capi-
tal from the United States and
other countries,” continued__Mr..
Levering. Using India as an--ex-
ample, he showed that. this kind of
“new nation needs something more
than massive foreign aid. It needs
personal relations with Americans.

-In India, Communism does not
arise among the lowest classes, but

Discussing the individual’s place
in the school’s educ aaiopal pro-
gram, the Dean said, “i believe we

complexity of one field, the -stu-

Campus Attitudes

Describing the climate. of the
College community, Dean Marshall
noted. an expectation ‘of “hard
work, a high degree of excellence,
responsibility, integrity and self-
knowledge” on thé“part of the
students. Mrs. Marshall“then
raised the question of apathy, re-
marking: “There seems to be no
relation between apathy and the
degree of-activity-on~ campus. As
a community we are so apathetic
that we attend lectures, participate
in League “activities, join numer-
ous clubs under Alliance, indulge
in self-analysis, produce plays, pub-
lish_a-newspaper, perform music—
andeven play bridge.”

Mrs. Marshall added that apathy
was so strong that the College Cal:

completely ‘filled. “May 4,” she
said, “had been vacant, but that

Of Old Problems in

In a Sutunoe Club lecture Thurs-
day night; Dr. James Kearns, Man-
ager of the Eastern Region of the
IBM College and University Pro-
gram, discussed “Computers and
Creative Thought.”. Dr. Kearns be-
lieves that while computers cannot
think creatively (in the artistic
sense), they can “encourage” crea-
tive thought in man by forcing him
to create new approaches; and. new
solutions to problems, ° “

Although at first, computers serv-
ed the function of modified “desk

-ealeulators,”—it-was--gradually~‘real-

ized that computers’ most significant
function lay in deciphering age-old
puzzles by means of its revolution-
ary approach. Dr. Kearns believes,
for example, that- Newton and Leib-
niz would never have developed
classical calculus as they did, if they
had had a digital computer. Com-
puters are utilized as teaching ma-
chines im fields where ‘there is one
“right” answer and have: become
very valuable: in language transla-.
tion.

The first computers in the United
States were Weveloped in the 1940’s
to. help analyze and process ~ data.
Until 1946, the speed of operation of
computers was limited by the speed
of the operator. In 1946, a step to-
ward solving the speed problem was
taken when it was suggested that
information could be “stored” inside
a computer.so that instructions and

-|data could be operated on at the same

time. By 1953, commercial compu-
ters with data storage were utilized
in industry, and their use is inereas-
ing so rapidly that it-is predicted
that by 1975 there will be 75,000

Mr. Siemel works in one
of the wildest sections of the earth
—the Matto Grosso region of Bra-

There his method is to set dogs

on the trail of a ‘tigre’ which may
be located by the vultures hover-
ing over his kil; From. -the~high
grass in which he hides, the ™“tigre’
growls menacingly as if to say “go
home, you fool,”.but Mr.. Siemel
does, not heed him. He’ remains,
poising his spear to stop the
charge. Though wounded, a ‘tigre’
may attack »eight or ten times,
hurling his three hundred and fifty
pounds upon the hunter. y

In addition, Mr. Siemel showed
films. -of animals he - hunts -only

Interfaith Outlines
Change in Chapel -

Due to dwindling response ‘to the
Sunday night Meeting for Worship,
Interfaith has changed the time and
place of Chapel. Beginning. this
semester, Chapel will be held in
the Interfaith Room ‘in Cartref. on
Wednesday evenings from 7:15 to.
7:45. The service will consist of a
brief meditational period, which; al-
though mainly like the- customary
Quaker form, will open and close
with passages read from, various re-
ligious and literary traditions. ,
. The Interfaith Board, asking }.in
the halls, found*that Students want __
some sort of servize held even though
they themselves rarely. attend. -Sun- _
day night is a bad time; Freshman
comps and general weekend backlog
seem suddenly to stare students in -
‘thé’face. “Many people have already
been to chureh that day, and others -
who might. go, find changing into a
skirt a nuisance. A, Wednesday
night Chapel service will- eliminate.
the3Xproblems and will provide a
welcome break in ‘a busy youtine. As

a college gathering, this ' ‘meeting is

informal and student-led, and with.
these changes, it will better adapt ~



itself to the needs of the campus.

- I would like to-congratulate the
News on its recent editorialstate-
ment that “students who with us
disapprove of shelters should at-
tempt to make known jointly, pub-
licly and forcefully their senti-
ments.” Let me_urge each student
now at the College to examine her
own conscience on this matter, and
take such action as may seem ap-
propriate under the circumstances.

I know it is sometimes hard to
realize, when you are an under-
graduate, that. you really do have
a voice in world affairs. But you
do — not only as individuals, “but
as membersof an educational com-
munity which has a long and respec-
ted tradition of responsibility to-
ward humanity. What the students
of Bryn Mawr College say and
think will matter — will be noticed,
not only in Pennsylvania, but in
New York and California and even
more distant outposts of civiliza-
tion. '

The life of an institution must
be nourished and sustained at

lent standards and the touch of lightness that have charac-
terized the News in the past year. The distinguishing fea-
tures of this staff’s work remain to be discovered .Whatever
they may be, we hope that the College News will continue.to
stimulate our readers. .

Hell week —that barbaric-sounding initiation rite to
which évery Freshman is subjected—begins this evening.

in its present discomfort. Take it in stride, Freshmen. Have
fun showing off your talents. As you are working off your
demerits Saturday, just remember you, too, will one day be
Sophomores. May .this year’s participants again act and
react in the creatively constructive manner which the tra-

dition encourages. -

Glad as we are to put exams behind us, we feel impelled
to recall briefly the sense of discomfort that accompanied
them.’ We do not suppose that there is any way of making
the examination period entertaining and relaxing, but we
have noted several -specific suggestions which many feel
‘would ease the pressure of those two weeks.

The proposal of interposing a reading period between:
the end of classes and the start of exams has been countered
by the proposal of lengthening intersession after exam week.
Students who support the former argue that the all-too-fre-
quent combination of papers due the last day of classes and
exams scheduled the first day of exam week makes it impos-
sible for a student to prepare adequately for her first exams.
Proponents of the latter proposal are more concerned with
the fact that those whose exams come late in the period have
virtually no chance to recuperate before they begin the new
semester. er

Another problem students have discussed is the rigidity
of-the schedule once it has been established ._A letter to the
Haverford College newspaper -(Jan. 12; 1962) by Kent Smith
’63, suggests that the administration keep all exams on file
and that students be allowed to take any exam at 9:00 each
morning, returning it completed at noon. By this system each
student could determine when his exam period would begin
and end and how his exams would be spaced.

The NewS would be eager to hear reactions to all these
suggestions.on.a problem which is pertinent to all of us.

H<.Why belong to N,S.A.?.. Several
reasons “spring to. mind.. Judging
from recent. ,protestations... against
N.S.A. membership,-the merit _ of
these. reasons is not. self-evident. Its
acceptability depends on the assump-
tion that a degree of political and
social awareness and interest is de-
sirable in an academic community.
Deny this assumption and a defense
of Bryn Mawr membership in - the
National Student Association will, at
best, be tenuous—accept it, and the
argument is easy. _
Whatever the objective merit of
its policies and practices (these can
and should be debated), N.S.A.° per-
forms a particularly valuable service
to the small college in which politi-
cal passions are traditionally sub-
dued. “For a school of this ‘sort, it

provides a milieu of action and acts
as a clearing house for ideas. Its

leaders with a sense of a political
purpose in the student community
‘(political on the campus level as well
as the national and international),
and its information services keep
campus representatives informed on
specific measures into which they
can channel energies of direct inter-
est,

The appeal of this description de-
pends, as has been noted, on how
relevant one considers purposeful ac-
tion to be to student life. The case
for relevance will not-be argued here.
Let me only say that from all I have
seen, membership in N.S.A. has con-
stituted a meaningful link to the
most politically vibrant segment of
the American student *.community

‘I and,_as -such,*has provided ‘the Bryn |

Mawr student organizations with .an
added purpose and -momentum.
N.S.A. has, of course, been only one
force on the Bryn Mawr campus, but
it: has been a .significant. one and
should not; at this point, be with-
drawn.

Will Discuss Issues

The first Intercollegiate Confer-
ence on’ Disarmament and Arms
Control- will be held on the Swarth-
more College campus February 16,
17 and 18. Outstanding scholars in
the field of disarmament and arms
control will speak and lead discus-
sion seminars,’ studying different
approaches and objections to dis-
armament and emphasizing the
possibilities for student action in
peace movements. me

Senator Joseph- Clark (Demo-
crat-Pennsylvania) will deliver the
keynote address Friday night in
Clothier, Hall. His speech will be
preceded by welcoming remarks
from Dr. Courtney Smith, Presi-

third Friday night speaker will ‘be
Bernhard G. Bechhoefer, who
served in. the , Department of
State from 1942 to 1958, partici-
pating in international arms con-
trol negotidtions. He will speak
on “A History of Disarmament
Negotiations.”

The roster of authorities on dis-
armament and arms control also
includes Professor. Seymour Mel-

Meeting ‘House.

The seminars, which will be the
focus of Saturday’s activity, will
cover a wide range of topics in-

armament and disarmament,
treaty negotiations and problems
of treaty ratification, and the three

for Defence Analyses. Among the
other members of the panel are

The Conference was conceived
and planned by three Swarthmore
College seniors — David H. Weg-

originally ‘became interested in
the idea of the conference when
he and David Edwards attended
the Seventh Annual Conference on

that most disarmament conferen-

already agree ‘with one another

— CON —

bership in the National Students’ As-
sociation has again come to the at-
tention of the campus. -No one could
say that this group has not a legi-
timate and valuable function-in many

its role seems dubious, to say the
least. Our student affairs are com-
pletely handled by Undergrad, our
honor system by Self-Gov., our po-
litical activity by the Alliance, our
social work by League. All that

,there is for the N.S.A. representa-
tive to do, it would seem, is to open
mail’*sent her by their headquarters
organization concerned. This, of
course, has all been said before.

Finances ©

Several new objections have been
recently raised, however. The four
hundred dollars charged to the com-

summer..seems excessive for an or-
ganization offering no tangible ben-
efits to the campus. Greater under-
standing of other student problems
could doubtless be gained by spend-
ing this sum on more outside speak-
ers, exchange programs with other
colleges, weekend conferences or
symposia,

-effective in national affairs and our
influence in the organization itself is
slight. There is little guarantee,
moreover, that our delegate will be
truly representative of even the ma-
jority opinion on campus; and the

ve entirely disregarded.
Little- Use
The help afforded to our: campus
problems is negligible. Not all col-
leges belong, and the information on

Four Exchange Students
Will Arrive This Sunday |”

Four students, two from Swarth-
more and two from Sarah Lawr-
ence, will attend classes here for
the week starting February 18.
They are part of an “exchange
students” -program, conducted- at
Bryn Mawr by the Undergraduate’
‘ Association. For the same week,
Viv. Brodkin, a sophomore,
Linda Newman, a junior, will go
to Swarthmore; Paula ~Pace and

_.Margaret. Porter, both sophomores, |__|

will attend classes at weve Lawr-
ence.

and Sarah Lawrence-will arrive on
Sunday. They will be in the dorms.
—one in Rhoads, one, in Rocke-
feller and two in Pembroke. They
will attend various classes of their
choice during the week.

The purpose of the program is

to exchange information and to}

gain a deeper perspective of other
colleges. The girls from Bryn
Mawr will hold an evaluative meet-

~ ing with Undergrad when they re-

turn to report on any new ideas
they have gained from the colleges
they have visited. Throughout the
week of the eightheenth, the stu-
dents from Swarthmore and Sarah
Lawrence will be available to meet
anyone .interested in finding out
more about their institutions.

New Control

Philadelphia had been a solidly
Republican city until about 1947.
Then, within ten years, the Demo-
crate. gained comparably tight con-
trol of the city’s politics. During
this century Negroes in Philadel-
phia have come to represent an in-
increasingly significant proportion
of the population. The 1960 Census
figures reveal that Negroes now
constitute 26.4 per cent of the to-
tal population of the city.. It was
round that Negroes and white par-
ticipate in the electoral process in
about. the same proportions. Hence
it can be estimated that the colored
people also constitute about. one

he will increase in the fu-
ture and thus augment the signi-
ficance of the Negro vote.

A review. of the voting records,
by ward, in Philadelphia shows
that in Presidentiaf elections since
the time of the New Deal the Ne-
groes have given strong support

-|to the Democratic candidate, ‘and

in some elections the margin of
victory provided by the colored
voters was of crucial significance
in determining the outcome.

A -study..of Negro voting in
Philadelphia’s-local elections re-
veals a pattern from which it can
be. generalized that the Negroes
have voted for.the winning candi-
date. In other words, they re-
mained. faithful to the Republican
Organization locally, until | the
Democratic party was the. victor-
ious team. Since the hegemony of
the Democrats, the Negroes have
supported that party in local _elec-
tions. Further, they have contri-
buted a disproportionate share of
the Democratic margin of victory.

Pattern Voting

The pattern of voting among
the Negroes was not consistent,
therefore, in regard to party pre-
ference, “For 15 years the Negroes
supported the Democratic party in
Presidential elections while con-
tinuing their support of the Rep-
ublican party in local elections, The
determinant of the Negro party pre-
ference, therefore, cannot be con-
sidered as a whole, but rather, dif-
ferentiated according to the type
of election.

Studies of voting behavior in
this country have revealed posi-
tive correlations between prefer-
ence for the Republican party and
such factors as: high income, pro-
fessional, business, or managerial
occupations, advanced level of ed-
ucation, and suburban or rural res-
idence. Contrarilly, ‘the Negro
voter in Phiigdelphia is generally
a low |incomeX |non-professional,
comparatively poorly. educated,

economic..status correlates — posi-
tivety™with Democratic preference.
Further, he” Negroes as a group

wth the Democratic party _as the

In local elections, however, it. was

by econoniic rather than ideolog-
ical concerns,

In local elections the party

About: Latin America—



S. America Faces
Political:Factions.
‘And Social Unrest

As part of the Class of 1902 Lec-
ture Fund, Arthur Whitaker, Profes-
sor at the University of Pennsyl-
vania, discussed “Nationalism and
Social Change in Latin America.”
Mr. Whitaker explained to the audi-
ence that. nationalism has been a
major feature in the development of
the western world since the French
Revolution glorified the concepts of
“la patrie” and “liberté, égalité, fra-
ternité.” These nationalistic forces
are still active in Latin America.

The population explosion and the
revolution of rising expectations in
Latin America have accentuated the
vital connectien-which exists between
nationalism and social change.
Whether the reforms which are en-
acted shall be instituted for the ben-
efit of the entire citizenry of the na-
tion or simply for the restless mass-
es is a problem which all Latin
American countries must face. Na-
tionalism in this area has a dual na-.



ture.._It tends to unify as well as |

divide. It has usually been domesti-
cally oriented, although the attempts
of Bolivar and of others to create a
federation of Latin American states
have had the characteristics of lib-:
eral nationalism,

Nationalism and social change in
Latin America have resulted in three
political factions in most’ of the
countries. Those who would main-
tain the status of the upperclass are
far considered to the right. In the
middle are those who are amenable to
limited social change but. who pre-
fer long range development programs
of the kind which have been practic-
ed in Argentina and Mexico. On the
left are those who advocate imme-
diate social change while minimizing
the effects these changes may have
on the national ecgnomy.

Another important element devel-
oping in connection with Latin Amer-
ican politics is the middle class. At
present this class lacks cohesion, but,
as it becomes unified, it continues to
contribute leaders to both the right
and the left; thereby emerging.as a
significant. power. Competent soci-
ologists who understand these chang-
_es in class structure are needed to
work with politicians in formulating
realistic policies.

of training they have gained in li-|

beral arts colleges. Frustrated and
beaten, these people turn. to Com-
munism, but they can be re-con-
verted by the effects of ——
contact.

To the third problem in our
world — the attitude of the white
minority towards the newly em-
erging black ‘people, — Mr. Lever-
ing feels.that, there is only one
answer: coniptete equality and rec-
ognition of all races. He was
pleased to find ‘that the World
Council of Churches in New Del-
hi-which he attended as Quaker
representative was completely in
accord with this sentiment.
For the final and most _funda-
mental problem — our contem-
porary lack of spirit and fiber —
Mr. Levering ‘appealed to the. in-
dividual’s (and especially the in-
tellectual’s) sense of duty. He ex-
pressed the hope that college stu-
derits would not isolate themselves
too much,- concentrating -only.--on
“ivory tower” study, ‘but would ap-
ply themselves to the solution sd
our most vital problems.

“Surveying the Latin American sit-
uation since. the instigation of the
Alliance for Progress is somewhat
lik@ examining Europe since the es-
tablishment—ofthe Marshall Plan,
except that the basic ‘tools of the
social ‘scientist are missing, Mrs.
Marshall explained in her opening
remarks to the-Bryn Mawr Club of
Philadelphia on January 23.

Latin America is still in a fluid
state: thie population is booming and
a “revolution of rising expectations”
is in process. In the face of this
dynamic social ferment the United
States has started the Alliance for
Progress.~ The idea behind the Alli-
ance was to establish a basis of sta-
bility throughout the continent’ by
raising the standard of living. To
achieve this goal a ten year program
of massive aid was instituted. Eco-
nomic growth was to move with so-
cial progress.

Two major areas were singled out
for reform: taxesand\ land. The
taxation system in Latin America is
for the most part antiquated. Direct
taxes are-
is poorly distributed. -There are po-
tentially about 14% acres per person
in Latin America, but most of the
arable land is within the latifundias.
Much of this land lies fallow. These
large estates are economically self-
sufficient and so do not create trade
or ‘industry for the rest of the con-
tinent, There are two basic meth-
ods for achieving land reform: one
is redistribution, the other. is heavy
taxation on idle land to encourage
wider cultivation. It can be seen
that with these problems it is diffi-
cult to see when and where improve-
ment is being made.

Problems in Reform

When the Alliance was started
some countries were already — at-
tempting reform. Their basic prob-
lem was how to curb inflation and
still maintain economic growth. Many



example, in Argentina Frondizi-used
a conservatice approach. He de-
nationalized the oil industry.
Venezuela coastal. lands were = re-
claimed and resettled, while Brazil
made plans ‘for her northeast rede-

nomic plans were sprouting up all
over, but there were serious prob-
lems involved: the generally. wealthy
oligarchies were not going to cut
their own throats by voting for land
and tax reform. Settling marginal
lands is a problem: because of lan-
guage and racial differences. ©
U. S. Government Aid
Before the conference at Punta
del Este in August, 1960, the United
States had not encouraged govern-
ment to governnient lending but pri-
vate investment. _ However, the pri-
vate investors believed that the job
was too big for them and they also
worried about Latin American seiz-
ure or nationalization of their prop-

provides for billion-dollar-a-year aid
from the U. S. Government, Western
Europe, internatioanl] funds, and pri-
vate sources. The aid is to be pro-
vided by long-term leans at low ‘in-
terest rates. Both*the Latin Amer-
ican nations involved and the United
States are to, administer the funds.

for tin is next on the list. The Al-
liance is trying to achieve six years
of free schooling for each child and
to teach 50,000,000 people to read.
Other aims include safe water to

Political Ditliculties

Two examples will. show. some
of the difficulties which discourage
immediate lending. Brazil’s prob-
lems are mainly political. Quadros
resigned soon after the Alliance
was put into effect. Goulart suc-
ceeded him as. president, but, the
army opposed Goulart, and forced
him into a parliamentary govern-
ment headedby Tancredo Nevos.
Goulart is trying to get a refer-
endum to regain his presidential
power. However, there has been
no quorum in the legislature to
pass this or any measure associa-
ted with Alliance. Meanwhile,

‘strikes have been occurring with

increasing frequency and inflation-
ary pressures are growing. In ad-
dition, the state governors are
showing more and more opposi-
tion to Goulart. In the northeast
provincé, a new party is on the
rise: the National. Front for Lib-

Situation in Brazil is unfortunate
from our point of view since Brazil
by her size alone is potentially our
most powerful ally in. the Alliance
for Progress.

by Nina Greenberg ’63

‘For the student interested. in
participating in some kind of mus-
ical activity, Bryn Mawr offers
considerable variety, if one takes
into account the basically academ-
ie orierttation of the college, How-
ever, there are some students who,
although they might not. wish to be
at a conservatory, are dissatisfied
with several of the musical organ-
izations on campus because of an
approach which generally lacks in-
tensity and which is not half real-
izing the potential of the groups.

Chamber music performers do
not usually have this problem,
since a relatively small number of

students rehearsing together can|



criticize themselves and more or
less set a level. of performanée
which they can hope to attain. It is
in the more comprehensive musical
organizations on campus that a
standard of greater perfection is
needed: Artistic excellence is never
achjeved by an unchallenging ap-
proach, and while it can be argued
that Bryn Mawr is not a music
school, it is still true that some-
one who has a less than serious in-
terest in music would probably en-
joy_rehearsing more if significant
musical demands- were made of
her.

The two main instrumental or-
ganizations here are combined
with Haverford — the orchestra
and.the.chamber—music_class...The
Bryn Mawr-Haverford Orchestra,
whose conductor is Dr. William
Reese, usually numbers about 40

~to 45 people and is open to any-
one who would like to play. Re-
hearsals are held every Wednes-
day night and usually three con-
certs are given each. year.
The caliber of the orchestra’s per-
formance has improved greatly in
the last few years as has the num-
ber of its members. The remaining
concert of this year will be on
April 13th. and will include Mo-
zart’s Bassoon Concerto in B-Flat,



K. 191, and Schubert’s. Sixth Sym-
phony, - a ,

«The chamber music class is un-
der the supervision of Mme. Agi
Jambor and is probably the most
flexible musical group on campus.
It is open to anyone interested in
playing chamber music of. any
type. If a student would like to
play a certain piece of music and
can find people who are willing to
work on it with her, she can usu-
ally go ahead and is helped in
phrasing, balance, and _ interpre-
tation. This kind of liberal set-up
can be most rewarding on an ama-
teur level and is possible partly be-
cause of the very nature of cham-
ber music,

Opening Of EDGE
Due March First —

|Coffee, Food, Talk

The first day of March marks the
arrival of something new in the
‘town of Bryn Mawr: a coffee shop.
This phenomenon, to be called “The
Edge,” has been sponsored by lay
members of churches in the com-
munity’ in “cooperation with local
branches. of the Student Christian
Movement, particularly those at
Haverford and Bryn Mawr.

“Phe Edge” -will be located on
Lancaster Pike in what was form-
erly Dinah Frost’s knit shop, and
present plans indicate that it will
be open six nights a week. The
coffee shop will be run by volun-

soft drinks, and comestibles.

“The Edge” has been established
for the purpose of encouraging dis-
cussion. between college students
and members of the community.
There will be opportunities for stu-
dent contributions of art work,
drama, poetry. In short, almost
every kind of creative. expression
will be sanctioned.

is to stimulate political activity and
awareness. Is not the apathetic re-
spose to the recent poll on nuclear
testing more indicative of a lack of
confidence in the effectiveness of
N.S.A. than a total lack of interest
in the issue involved? Would not a
volume of letters from individual per-
sons and colleges be more effective



Protest Against NSA

than a single one from an unrepre-
sentative organization?

On a parochial level, N.S.A. offers
little help to the unique problems of
our admittedly eccentric campus,
and its claim to represent the views
and opinions of the heterogeneous
American. college population seems
on principle untenable.

cess of the Negro constituents. in
obtaining representation has not
therefore fully benefited them.
Given the determinants of elec-

cial, -psychological - and organiza-

voters, and the present strong pos-
ition of the Democrats in Philadel-

tion, these ‘same existent condi-

development of the. necessary ef-

bases for continued support of the
Democratic party by Negroes in

mony of that party is ensured for
some time.
