Boris Goldovsky
By Martha Bridge
“On this subject, I am not nor-
mal,” announced Mr. Boris Goldov-
sky, opening his lecture on ‘“Moz-
art’s Operas” last Monday, April
2, in Goodhart. “I am a great de-
votee of Mr. Mozart’s,” he contin-
ued, “and particularly of his op-
eras.”
~The in thie informal and en-|_
thusiastic tone that Mr. Goldovsky
proceeded to talk about some rath-
er technical aspects of Mozart’s
operatic music. He did not sum-
marize the-plots.of.the operas, nor
did he play through the familiar
arias. Mr. Goldovsky chose to dis-
cuss Mozart’s brilliant and individ-
ual use of eighteenth-century mu-
sical conventions for the purposes
of “dramatic logic.” Through his
personal charm and wit, Mr. Gol-
dovsky managed to make such for-
midable terms as “characteristic of
tonality” and “Affectenlehre” not
only intelligible, but delightful,
even to the laymen in the audi-
ence,
The characteristic of tonality,
Mr. Goldovsky explained, was the
theory that certain keys were suit-
ed to certain moods; pastorals, for
example, were customarily com-
posed in F major, and wedding
pieces in G major. Mozart appar-
ently employed a similar but per-
sonalized key system. Of course,
the melodic beauty of the music
remains effective even if one is not
aware of such conventions. :
Mr. Goldovsky, ever aware of
what is running through the lis-
tener’s mind, asked the question,
“Why do such interesting things if
nobody notices them?” The an-
swer, he said, is that Mozart wrote
for musical connoisseurs as well
as for popular audiences; and,
while being both “scholarly and}
pleasant,” he also composed for
himself. Mozart applied the tech-
nique of the “Affectenlehre,” the
study of emotional excitement in
music, 4s ¢aused by pitch, dynam-
ics, and harmonic tensions, Mr.
Goldovsky emphasized that Moz-
art used devices which to his con-
temporaries were as revolutionary
and as beyond musical tolerance as
modern music is for many people
today.
He went on to discuss Mozart’s
great Opera Seria, Idomeneo, hé|
considers “the greatest opera I| ©
Glowing | |
know, barring none.”
with personal affection for this
little-known work, Mr. Goldovsky
remarked that Idomeneo, a com-
missioned work, was “Mozart’s
only chance .to show the world ev-
erything he knew,” to dare to use
new devices which popular audi-
ences found too complex.
Mr. Goldovsky. was at his best
in illustrating his favorite pass-
ages from Idomeneo and Don Gio-
vanni. He played the piano with
gusto and sang with equal abandon
arias written for coloratura so-| |
prano and basso profundo. His ex-
uberance communicated itself to
‘impressive
achievement in @ hall as cold and
impersonal as Goodhart can be. —
Mr. Goldovsky’s lecture was il-
luminated by his “abnormal” love
for his subject. Mozart, he told
the audience again and again, “ab-
sorbed all the” greatness of his
and his contemporar-_| '
ies, and‘ combined the genius of
music in its totality.” Mr. Goldov-
sky seemed to trust in-his audi-|'

sical detail; he managed to teach,
and, even to preach, without a con-
descending air. His poise was that
of an experienced raconteur, and
expert as well as an enthusiast.
What he himself said of Mozart
1can be applied to Mr.. Goldovsky;
he showed that rare balance of
qualities which make him both
“scholarly and pleasant.”
Mr. Goldovsky was a guest at
Bryn Mawr for two days, conduct-
ing workshops on Mozart’s sym-
phonic and chamber music in ad-
dition to the evening lecture. Mr.
Goldovsky’s program at Bryn
Mawr was made possible by the
Friends of Music of Bryn Mawr
College, organized last fall to de-
velop the music resources of the
campus, and sponsored by many
leading figures in the music world.

Undergrad To Present Hall Rep Plan
At Legislature Meeting This Evening
At Legislature this evening the
Undergrad Board is proposing a
plan for an Undergrad . Advisory
Board. The present Executive
board, composed of campus and
class elected members, represents
only three halls (Pembroke, Rocke-
feller, and Rhoads), and has no di-
rect contact with the other halls.
Because Bryn Mawr is hall-orient-
ed and @pinions often vary from
ne. hall to another, Undergrad
feels that some means must be pro-

sentation of campus opinion.
Undergrad has suggested an Un-
dergrad Advisory Board of Hall
Representatives which would meet
with the Undergrad President
weekly and would attend particular
Executive Board meetings. The
group would serve a two-fold func-
tion of representation—taking Un-
dergrad’s ideas and problems to
the halls and bringing the students’
opinions to the Board. In this way,
each student would be directly rep-
resented and would know where to
take her complaints or suggestions.
The representatives would pre-
sent Undergrad issues at hall
meetings, and, with knowledge of
the backgrounds and facts of the
particular issues would be instru-
mental in avoiding confusion re-
sulting from a lack of information.
Other specific duties would include
helping the present Board in such
matters as publicity, “policing”
the grass, and in providing ushers
for lectures.
The hall representative would be
elected in the Spring and could be
chosen. from any class.

for improving the election system

Announcement was made March
22 of the largest single bequest
ever received by Bryn wr Col-
lege, that of Mr. arles J.
Rhoads. The bequest is estimated
at $2,000,000. According to Miss
McBride, this is larger than the
bequest which founded the college,
made by Dr. Joseph Taylor in
1880.
With the death, of Mr. Rhoads,
of the Board’ of Directors of the
college, Bryn Mawr receives the
combined estate of Mr. Rhoads and
his wife, Lillie Frishmuth Rhoads.
Mr. Rhoads died on Jan. 2, 1956,
Mrs. Rhoads, who died in 1951, had
left her estate in trust for her
husband, -with Bryn Mawr as re-
siduary legatee.
Miss McBride said that Mr. and
Ithan Mill Farm
Open To College
Ithan Mill Farm, which Mr
Charles J. Rhoads left to Bryn
Mawr College with the rest of his
estate, is open to members of the
college. This farm, about ten
minutes’ drive from the campus,
is especially good for picnicking.
The property, which is officially
part of the campus, will be retain-
ed by the college for the next five
years. ‘Bryn Mawr will rent the
property and at the end of that
period will reconsider whether the
college can make any direct use of
the land.
The farm is 50 acres (the pres-
ent campus is 70). A committee
which; considered the question of
its disposal feels that it should be
kept, at least temporarily. This is
\ | partly because land immediately
\ touching the present campus is dif-
ficult to obtain and very expensive,

Charles J. Rhoads Gives Bryn Mawr
Largest Single Bequest In Its History
Mrs. Rhoads from life-long experi-
ence knew the problems of financ-
ing colleges, and had left the be-
quest entirely unrestricted.
In her announcement of the be-
quest, Miss McBride pointed out
that faculty salaries required sub-
stantial raises, additions to the
faculty were needed, and heavy ex-
penditure ‘must be made for main-
tenance and long-needed improve-
mante
the Rhoads bequest will be to meet
part of the cost ofthe increases in
faculty salaries announced by the -
college last month. The full cost
of these-increases will also require
the income from the Ford Founda-
tion Grant of $594,300, and the
contribution from the Bryn Mawr
Alumnae Fund which is set to
“match the income” from the Ford
Grant. ?
“Progress for the college along
other lines is being studied,” Miss
McBride said.
Included also in the bequest to
Bryn Mawr is the family home,
Ithan Mill Farm, a property of
fifty acres near the college, and
an extensive library belonging to
Mr. Rhoads.
Stipend Awarded
To Dorothy Innes
Dorothy Innes, ’57, has been
awarded an Undergraduate | Re-
search Stipend for this summer
from the Social Science Research
Council. The grant will enable
Dorothy to do research on the
problem of democratic government
in the Presbyterian Church. Dor-
othy, a political science major, will
be working under the guidance of
Mr. Peter Bachrach, associate pro-
fessor of political science.
This year the Social. Science Re-
search Council granted about 50
Undergraduate Research Stipends
to college juniors in accredited in-
stitutions in the United States and
Canada. Students receiving grants
devote eight weeks or more during
the summer between their junior
and senior years to research under
the guidance of designated faculty
supervisors. Research begun dur-
ing the summer is brought to com-
pletion as part of the students’
academic work during the senior
year; Dorothy’s research will be
turned into an honors paper in po-
litical science.
In her research, Dorothy plans
“to discover to what extent the
workings Pr i internal polities
of the Pres rian Church reflect
the democratic theory under which
origins of democratic church gov-
ernment, both in theory and in his-
torical. development in the United
States, and will analyze the con-
stitution and formal structure of
the Presbyterian Church. Much of
the material for her research will
come from the Presbyterian Li-
“one of the largest collections of
church records and historical data
in the world.’+
Dorothy is the second Bryn
Mawr political science student in
two years to hold such a grant.

Now that the mid-semester period is drawing to a close
it is apparent that there is some‘ confusion as to the amount
of time allowed the student to write her exam: In come cases
the professors permit the students to stay past the end of
the class period to finish their exams, while in other cases
- they make them hand in the papers on time.
We feel that the former practice is unfair to the students
in that those who have planned their work for a .specific
amount of time are at a disadvantage when there is an un-
expected time bonus. The students should be told at the be-
ginning of the period at which time the blue books are to be
collected and how long they have to write.
The student also has an obligation to pass in her exam
on time, whether she has finished or not. The tendency is to
write until the professor calls for the books, a practice almost
impossible to stop because of the mob psychology element of
seeing everyone else writing busily. A more just policy
would be to make it clear to the student that she is expected
to pass in the exam at the end of the allotted time.
T-Men At Work (er)
On March 27, agents of the U. S. Internal Revenue Bu-
reau seized the premises of The Daily Worker in New York
City. Simultaneously, Community Party headquarters and
branch offices of The Worker in other parts of the country
were also raided. In explaining its action, the Treasury De-
partment asserted that the assets of the Communist Party
and The Daily Worker were seized for failure to pay back
taxes. Although certain officials of the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau in Washington have termed the seizures, especially that
of The Worker in N. Y., as “routine procedure”, the method
and timing of the action have convinced us the move was
more than badly handled. The Daily Worker was raided with-
out warning. Or to be exact, the warning notice arrived
eighteen hours after the seizure.
The Worker’s defense that it owes no back taxes since
it operates at.a deficit and thus receives no income, does not
exclude it from legitimate tax inquiry. U. S. tax laws re-
quire corporations to file tax statements, whether they oper-
ate at a deficit or not. According to Internal Reevnue spokes-
men, The Worker has not done this nor has it filed for tax
exemption. The Revenue Bureau thus had a legitimate right
to carry through “routine procedure” in investigating The
Worker’s failure in back tax payment. The Treasury Depart-
ment’s surprise and warningless move does not seem “rou-
tine” to us, but a tactless blunder.
The suddenness of the action has led many to interpret
the Government’s move as a singling out and a planned har-
assment, if not attempted suppression, of a press that op-
poses it. One cannot quite believe the Government would
move in the same way towards The New York Times and call
its action “routine procedure”. Subsequent confiscation of

Through The Arch
At this point in the year one
feels rather qualified to make fair
criticisms and evaluations of the
many aspects of life here during
the past months. Since dormitor-
ies are one of the prime non-aca-
demic concerns, and since I do live
in one of “more than routine inter-
est,” East House, I shall now take
the liberty to expound a bit on it.
Located on the far end of the
campus flanking the College Inn,
East House,-in part the Spanish
Language house of last, is this
year’s home territory for fifteen
freshmen. Rather a wide geo-
graphical distribution ‘is noted and
also a great variance in views and
interests. And indeed t’would be
difficult if this weren’t true. In an
extremely limited, self-contained
living area such as ours is, one
would find it static, painful and
especially so since that all-impor-
tant stimulation and advice that
only upper-classmen can give is
missing. (Yes, you Old Bryn

Every week in the News Room
there accumulates a sizeable pile
of newspapers from our fellow col-

else besides the News staff should
check up on what their friends are

another word in an old contro-

published a book extolling the
Middle Atlantic states over the

the “gateway” to our country.
Says-he;-“A certain mellowness ap-
pertains to the culture of Knicker-

contrasting “pleasantly with~the

An alarming trend seems to be
under way. Both Trinity and Mt.

co-education really the answer?

Since many Bryn Mawrters, not-
ing the weather, are wondering
whether it is spring or Christmas
vacation approaching, here is a
comment from the Duke Chronicle
via the Mt. Holyoke News.
“Tell us not in chilling voices,
Spring is still four weeks away;
For we’ve seen the April showers

Let us dream while still we may:

We have springtime for today.”

League
By Nancy Potts
This year, the League has been
relatively successful in its effort to
further its two. spheres of endeav- |
or: first, its educational program
apa second, its coordination of the
social welfare interests on campus.
In the first, we developed a policy
to bring experts to give us infor-
mation and insight on problems of
current social welfare questions:
The program included a panel of
social workers: Mrs. Oswald B.
Lord, of the United Nations; and
a lecture series on “The Develop-
ment of Social Welfare Legislation
in the Scandinavian Countries.”
The poor attendance at these em-
phasized, perhaps,;:»-one of the
greatest weaknesses in our policy:
the method of publicity and lack of
personal contact on campus.
We have had both good and bad
moments.in--the-.second-sphere-of
endeavor, that of actively coordi-
nating campus interest. Numerous
specific projects were carried
through effectively, such as Ssena+
ing volunteers to the Children’s
Hospital Daisy Day, to Ardmore
for the Fight for the Blind Week
campaign, collecting books for
Africa, jewelry for the Philadel-
phia Center. for Older People, and
clothes for the American Friends’
Service Committee.
However, five of League’s tradi-
tional committees ceased opera-
the Y-Teen, Norristown
Walking, Red Cross, Haverford
Community Center, and Fellow-
ship Forum groups. Nevertheless,
new interest evidenced itself in
formation of Bryn Mawr Hospital
Report —
Hospital committees.
In addition, able and enthusiastic
work was accomplished in Week-
end Workcamp, Coatesville Recrea-
tion, both in the Little Theatre and
the-Chess Club, and in the Maid’s
and_Porter’s Committee. The 1955
season. of the Bryn Mawr Summer
Camp in Stone Harbor, New Jer-
sey, was so successful, that there
can be little question of the value
of its continuance. The Soda Foun-
tain has been continuing to func-
tion; however; both its policy and
position on campus are being re-
evaluated. The position of the La-
bor Education Committee is also
being discussed.
Turning now to financial mat-
ters, League has been concerned
with two major drives, the United
Service Fund and the League Ac-
tivities Drives. There has been
strong feeling on the part of not
only the students, but also the so-
licitors against two dtives. League
has tried to analyze the function
at Bryn Mawr; consequently, we
helped sponsor the World Univer-
sity Service conference at Bryn
Mawr, in the Fall, and sent dele-
gates to the NSA-WUS annual
campus chest conference last
Spring.
In reviewing both the diverse
problems and the rewarding ex-
periences encountered by the
League, in 1955-1956, as the out-
going President, I feel the League
has come a long way in realizing
its particular aims, but above all
in developing a cohesive and uni-
fied attitude within the organiza-
tion itself. :

Chapel Committee Report
By Phyllis Hall
The stated aim of the Chapel
Committee this year was: “To pro-.
vide students with the opportuni-
ties to expand into new dimensions
of religious thinking to keep pace
with their intellectual growth in
other areas.” Planning Sunday
evening services to include a vari-
ety of. representatives of different
faiths and denominations and ar-|
ranging “mid-week” activities of
a different nature formed the
means by which this desire was
articulated this year.
For purposes of examining its
contributions, the work of the
Chapel Committee might be divid-
ed into three genera] areas:
1. The Stimulation of Community
Interest in the Religious Life of
the College Student. Functioning
on the premise that particular de-
nominational needs of the students
are met off the campus by the lo-
cal churches and synagogues, the
Committee’s work on campus
could be meaningful only if that
cbhligation were removed from its
activities. In order that this prem-
ice should not prove a false one,
prior to the fall tea given to intro-
duce students to the local clergy-
men, the Committee met with the
latter group in order to discuss
the weaknesses of the relationship
between the college students and
the outside religious community.
Hall re ntatives acted as chan-
nels “communication between
this group and the college. Im-
provement, if not perfection re-
__ sulted.
2. Sunday Evening Chapel Serv-
ices and Discussions. Speake:
were chosen almost entirely fron
suggestions made by students last],
spring. The denominational repre-
sentation in the 1955-56 services
may be seen as follows: three Re-
form rabbis, one Conservative rab-
bi, one Congregational-Quaker, two.
Unitarians, one Russian Orthodox,
one Dutch Reform, two Methodists,
‘seven Presbyterians (one ee
_ians, one Lutheran and one Quak-
er Meeting. Following each serv-
ice, an informal discussion was
held with the minister until 9
o’clock, after which a_ different
faculty member each Sunday con-
tinued the discussions as long as
there was interest.
3. Mid-Week Programs. Prior to
Christmas vacation, Tuesday after-
noon discussions were led by two
different students each week, who
took their topics from some contro-
versial issued raised by the sermon
of the previous Sunday. Other af-
ternoon and evening programs
were devoted to such varied topics
as: “Islam,” “Pacifism in the Mo-
roccan Situation,” “The Dead Sea
Scrolls,” and a symposium on the
relation of religion to music seen
from Jewish, Catholic, and Prot-
estant’ influences.
not represented in the Sunday eve-
ning services were conducted this
spring.
Several meetings devoted to a
re-examination of the Committee
itself, resulted in revisions of the
Sunday order of service in re-
sponse to criticism of that order,
and the formation of a committee
to compile a new service book
which will provide greater scope in

A. A. Report
By Betsy Dugdale
The A. A. has had a very profit-
able year in 1955-56. The records
of Varsity sports to date are about
as usual; on the average, we lose
a few more than we win, although
badminton and fencing had almost
undéfeated seasons:
By far the most spectacular win
for Bryn Mawr was by the swim-
ming team. Two carloads started
out for a meet with Drexel, but
when the second failed to arrive,
the four girls and two divers in
the first car pooled their efforts,
swam the entire meet, and won
31-26!
Recently Bryn Mawr again ac-
cepted the invitation of Barnard
and chartered a bus for their play-
day, March 10, which we won. In
April we will send a freshman ten-
nis team and lagrosse players to
another sportsday@t Goucher.
“Tnterhall’ anda™ inverciass —peatnes.
were continued this year as in the
past. Interhall hockey again end-
ed in a tie, this time between the
Non-Res’s and Pem West: -Inter-
class hockey was tied by the fresh-
men and juniors, swimming was
won by the sophomores, and bad-
minton, for the first time on rec-
ord, by the freshmen. In basket-
ball, the Graduate Center was is-
sued an invitation, and after prac-
ticing since fall, defeated the run-
ners up, Pem East, to win that
championship.
One of the A.A. Board’s major
decisions, under consideration for
three years, was that softball be
discontinued as a varsity sport.
The requirements for winning a
white blazer were also clarified, so
that a student must have been on
the first Varsity team of two dif-
ferent sports and not less than
the second Varsity of a third.
A. A. moved out of the gym and
into the smokers to sponsor the
National. Intercollegiate Bridge
Tournament on campus, and initi-
ated its first speaker, Mr. George
Munger, of Penn, who explained
football.
Financially, A. A. is doing well,
having just paid off the final debt
of $199.99 for its camera, from the
profits of Henry V. The remainder
of this profit will be given to the
Undergrad Foreign Student Schol-
arship Fund.
The A. A. wishes particularly to
thank Miss Clayton and her de-
partment for all their help in the
past year, and to wish best of luck
to Steffie for next year.
This week the Alliance will
post lists in each hall for sug-
gestions for next year’s speak-
ers. All your suggestions are
welcome., This: is the time to
speak.

By Sheppie Glass
The strongest part of the Alli-
ance ‘program this year has been
centered around the activities of
the Alliance board itself. Thanks
to a loyal and capable board we
have been able to solve some im-
portant. administrative — problems
and initiate new programs.
We have been very concerned
with the problem of hall repre-
sentation. A tentative solution has
been offered by the suggestion to
the next board that all*thosé in-|*
terested may become members-at-
large of the Alliance. The prob-
lem of voting would be solved by
setting up some qualifications such
as attendance at three out of four
meetings a month.
A new experiment with weekly
discussion groups at Alliance meeét-
ings was tried in hopes that this
would stimulate more interest. We
tried guided discussions on perti-
nent political problems such as
“The Walter-MéCarran -Act”
“The College Student as a Con-
servative.” These discussions were
quite informal and very successful.
The board was also concerned
with the question of N.S.A., organ-
izing the tours to Philadelphia and
participating in W.U.S. activities
such as the conference and U.S.F.
drive. The U.S.F. drive on campus
topped their last year’s quota by
$1000.
The most pressing problem of
the Alliance was keeping our club
program afloat. After prolonged
attempts to keep a working pro-
gram for some clubs, drastic action
was taken and the International
Relations, Debate, Fellowship For-
um and S.D.A. were dropped.
The basic- problem with these
Collections are held: at 11: 10 at
clubs was the hesitancy on the
part of students to commit them-
selves to a year-long project.
Therefore the board will initiate
short-term projects that these
clubs offered, and hope that these
projects will gain enough interest
to build into a more sustained pro-
gram. A case in point was the
discussion group, whose slogan was
“informed, but informal.” After
one meeting this project shows
promise of going on a more per-
manent basis.
Because of space, it has not been
vossible to report on the .activities
of other clubs, speaker program,
or other board programs. How-
ever, these reports are included in

some direction this year. We have
stronger program, with sustained
‘interest in special areas (e.g., Afri-
ca) and trying to involve students
in actual political activity as well
as presenting speakers. We have
had many disappointments; it is
hoped that the new board will be
able to realize more of these ob-
jectives.
I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to thank the board, the fac-
ulty and administration for their
help and infinite patience.
“Family of Man” Is
Exhibited In Phila.
By Ann Barthelmes
“The Family of Man” exhibition
opened at the Philadelphia Art Mu-
seum Friday, Apr. 6. This collec-
4tna af ENQ
VIVIEXY va wee
tries is already well known as a
milestone in the field of photog-
raphy.
Edward Steichen, who assem-
bled the exhibition, selected photo-
graphs representing the most pow-
erful facets of human existence:
love and its growth into marriage
and family unity; man’s relation
to the natural beauty of the earth,
and his destruction of it, or crea-
thought, igious feeling, work,
learning and response to art.
The viewer is emphatically im-
mersed in each of these. In every
section are quoted a few lines of
great poetry or prose, which seem
written specifically for the exhibi-
tion.
Three of the quotes which sum
up the message and effect of the
photographic works of art are Ku-
bodaishi’s lines, “Flow, flow, flow,/
The current of life is ever onward;”
Homer’s “As the generation of
leaves / So is that of man;” and
Shakespeare’s “O Wonderful, won-
derful, and most wonderful / And
yet again wonderful...”
In totality, the photographs show
man in all contexts—from beauti-
ful to ugly, fom noble to mediocre,
from joyful to tragic. They re-
store pride and faith in the sim-
plest and smallest aspects of his
being. They enter the core of hu-
man life and capture its over-
whelming poignancy.
Curriculum Committee Represents
All Classes With New Members
by Joan Shigekawa and Ellie
Amram, sophomore representatives
to Curriculum Committee
The changing nature of the Cur-
riculum Committee is indicated by
the addition of freshmen and soph-
omores to its membership for the
first time; until this spring. term
Curriculum Committee had been
made up of students settled in their
majors and so had not been active-
ly concerned with the. problems
facing underclassmen. The whole
Committee had been geared to the
consideration of upperclass prob-
lems. The place of the undergrad-
uate representative on the Commit-
specific course sities and ques-
tions of broader consideration,
such as the reason for the Bryn
Mawr four course system, the im-
portance of the 101 philosophy
course, and the non-existence of
general education courses similar
to the Physical Science courses at
Harvard and Smith for those who
will not continue in the sciences, or
the General Lit course at Smith
which studies “selected literary
masterpieces from Homer to Tol-
stoi”.
Coffee hours can be arranged

tee has been hazily defined and the
means for effective underclass
representation is only now in the
process of formation.
Therefore we consider it impor-
tant to consult the sophomore
class ‘to determine in what way
they feel their interests can best
be served on the Curriculum Com-
mittee. We feel that more empha-
sis should be placed on the excel-
lent opportunity provided through
the Committee for student-faculty
cuss. these and similar academic
matters with representatives from
the faculty and administration.
Often it is not realized that those
curriculum problems which the fac-
ulty considers usually parallel
closely the topics discussed by
students.
We, as sophomore representa-
tives to the Curriculum Committee,
would welcome comments and sug-
liaison on academic matters—both

iW. Morrison Talks
At Grad Assembly
Dr. William H. Morrison, author,
professor of government and Pro-
vost of Dartmouth College, spoke
at the gradyate assembly held
Wednesday, Apr. 4, in Goodhart.
His subject was “Learning and
Imagination.” The lecture followed
Dean Bliss’s announcement of
graduate scholarships, tuition
grants and fellowships for next
year.
Dr. Morrison has special interest
in teaching and he discussed teach-
ing opportunities, required gradu-
ate education, graduate education
for women and finally, the question
of “why teach?”
Many factors will change future
opportunities in the profession.
Among these are a doubling col-
lege enrollment expected within
ten years, a concomitant dearth of
teachers, and the fact that any
qualified teacher will have a choice
of three or four appointments. Dr.
Morrison —_outlined--the-—-qualities
ideally sought in teachers. They
should be imaginative, energetic,
enthusiastic, original and, most im-
and faith in young people.
Some ‘criticism hasbeen launch-
ed against graduate schools. The
Ph.D. program as it now stands
does not seem effective in. produc-
ing scholars. Graduate schools are
the teaching potentiality. of their
students. Neither is there enough
weight given to the personality of
students under consideration for
admission. In seminars, there should
be more time-spent emphasizing
significant rather than novel fac-
tors. The relationship between old-
er and younger persons in teach-
ing should be stressed.
~The need for teachers will soon
be so acute that sex discrimination
will be a thing of the past. Sal-
aries will be increased. Bargaining
“| power will enter into teacher-em-
ployment. There will be a wave
of community colleges which will
'|demand the services of many qual-
ified women.
The question of “why teach?” is
sorely neglected both in and out of
the profession. Comments of
Whitehead on the nature of teach-
ing and learning pertain to this.
Actually, the teacher merely guides
the students’ own willfully growing
self-development. She should not
become complacent or inert in her
own learning activities, or her
teaching will lose its vitality and
“sense of fresh discovery.”
Dr. Morrison closed his lecture
by asserting that if, in addition to
having a boundless curiosity, one
sees teaching as an active, adven-
turous occupation rather than as
an opportunity for leisure or time
in the library, one can successfully
follow the teaching profession.
Having once chosen it, ideally one
will not only teach but also “learn
with imagination.”

Plans For WBMC
By Adrian Tinsley
By Judy Mellow
“We've just spent a year build-
ing up equipment and facilities,
and now we've got to concentrate
on building up a listening audi-
ence.”
This is the general plan of
Adrian Tinsley, chairman of
- WBMC. Adrian feels that this year
has been one of tremendous ad-
vance under Elizabeth Thomas,
the outgoing chairman.
The fact that WBMC began the
year with its equipment in top
shape is directly accreditable to
the technical staff of WHRC, Hav-
erford’s station, who worked on it
over the summer. WHRC’s tech-
nicians also have been “invaluable”
to the operation of the station dur-
ing the year. Rockefeller, Den-
bigh, the Pembrokes and Merion
have been wired since early in the
_ year, thus increasing the potential
audience.
Advances other than technical
have taken place as well. At Eliz-
abeth’s instigation, WBMC now
has national advertisers, helpful
not only financially, but in boost-
ing morale as well. “It makes us
feel like a real station now,”
Adrian says.
Although WBMC has long had a
hookup. with. the- Haverford. station,
it. this year joined forces with
WVIL, the Villanova station, to
form a_ three-college network.
The Dead Sea Scrolols, the rea-
sons for their importance, their re-
lation to Hebrew history, and a
general background of the discov-
ery, were topics for Dr. James
Muilenburg’s lecture last night.
Dr. Muilenburg, Professor of He-
brew at Union Theological Semin-
ary, was obviously fascinated with
his subject and succeeded in con-
veynig his enthusiasm to the au-
dience.
Since the discovery of the first
scrolls in 1947, they have. provided
subjects for over 1,000 articels, as
scholars have become interested in
cheir many aspects.
Among the scrolls are a complete
manuscript of the Book of Isaiah,
a commentary on the first two
chapters of Habakkuk with many
historical allusions, a Manual of
Discipline for a Jewish sect, prob-
ably the Essenes, and a group of
twenty thanksgving hymns, com-
parable to the Song of Solomon.
As the period in which the scrolls
were written, about 100 B.C. to 68
A.D., is very well documented,
they must be interpreted literally
with the existing evidence. They
are particularly valuable in illum-
inating corrupt Hebrew texts, al-
though the scholar is surprised at
Dr. Muilenburg Discusses Background,
Importance Of ‘The Dead Sea Scrolls’’
their close correspondence to the
older texts.
Perhaps the most interesting as-
pect of the discoveries, though, is
their revelation of the life of the
Essenes and its bearing on Christ-
ianity. The Manual of Discipline
contains many tenets which were
formerly believed to have originat-
ed with Christianity, and which
may only have formed a_ back-
ground for the coming of Christ.

the following parking rules be

led Mr. Hunter to set limits on the
“region of uncertainty’ of Soviet
| policy. The minimum change will
include keeping the individual
without rights and pouring capital
into industry. At best, the Soviet
might permit discussion within the
Party until decisions are made, and
might recognize individual dignity
and raise living standards.
At any rate, Mr. Hunter feels,
the symbol of the Great Father as
leader appears to have died out.
Mass terror can no longer be ra-
tionalized, for Russia is on her feet
now. An opposition party is still
out of the question, however, and
the limits to Russian aggression
which the West~would like to see
are very unlikeiy. Mr. Hunter sug-
gests testing his opinions by
watching for judicial reforms and
observing the sixth Five Year “Plan.
There may be changes in the de-
cision-making “policy ag well, he
predicted. -He pointed out, how-
ever, that’ Russia’s policies are
formed not so much with us in
mind, but with prime consideration
of their own problems on the.home
front.

WBMC broadcasts are mostly
disc jockey programs, featuring
popular, classical and musical show
records. The News announces
a
lo the Touch... To the laste...
weekly what the classical selec-
tions for the forthcoming week
will be. Adrian plans to continue
this, and to supplement the pub-
licity -with program schedules in
each hall. WBMC’s broadcasting
week is from Sunday to Thursday.
Beside evening programs, it broad-
casts Tuesday and Thursday morn-
ings from 7:30 to 9. When it is off
the air, it relays programs from
WFLN in Philadelphia, which
broadcasts mostly classical music.
“Tf people know about it, they'll
listen,” Adrian says. “We want
people who are in the habit of lis-
tening to the radio to listen to
WBMC.”
