Second Of Three Greek Comedy Talks

Delivered Monday By!

Miss A. M. Dale (who also ex-
ists as Mrs. T .B, L. Webster),
Reader in Classics at the Univer-
sity of London, gave the second
of the Horace White Memorial
Lectures on Monday evening. Her
topie was “Old Comedy: .Aristo-
phanes’ Acharnians.”

Of Old Comedy, a form of drama
unique to fifth century Athens,
only nine specimens survive; all
of these were composed by Aris-
tophanes, and their dates range
from approximately 425 to 405 B.C.
The characteristics of Old Comedy
are clearly outlined by the extant
plays, and of them the Acharnians
is probably the most typical, since
Aristophanes wrote it when he
was only twenty (thus, presum+
ably, his style was more influenced
by the conventions of the drama-
tic form and less by his own de-
velopment).

(he time of Old Comedy is al-
ways the present, The scene, since
there is no scenery, may be any-
where (or nowhere in particular)
and may change at an actor’s word.
The object is simply to entertain,
usually by satirizing some aspect
of Athenian life, while the vehicle
of the action is a comic. Idea (in
the Acharnians it is Dikaiopolis’
attempt, as a single man, to make
peace with Sparta), treated with

Helen Maud Cam, Professor

Miss Cam, who is editing the records of the Longon Eyre of 1321
for the Selden Society, delivered her lecture before am enlarged Journal

Club Monday afternoon.

The institution of the Eyre began as early as 1166 with the first

directives to the justices. This
itinerant court moved from county
to county, hearing civil] and crim-
inal pleas and covering the whole
administration of the“shire. Pri-
marily, their job was to serve-the
King’s interest and no source of
revenue was overlooked.

By 1821, although a session had
been held in Kent in 1318, the Eyre
was falling into disuse, and the
return. of the Eyre to London after
a 45-year interval was occasioned
more by the political situation than
by custom. Under the weak King
Edward II, the Norman barons
moved to reassert their power
against the crown, and, led by
Thomas of Lancaster, forced the
passage of the Ordinances of 1311,
designed to weaken the power and
correct the abuses of the King.
While this struggle continued, a
faction in favor of popular govern-
ment came into administrative
power in London; although it
seemed that a “good time was about
to begin”, the liaison between the
city and the “Lord’s Ordainers”—

Cam.

The Eyre opened in January of
1321 in the Tower of London amid
elaborate attempts by the court to
“caltch out” the hapless city offic-
ials, who for their part fell into
procedural blunders. A number
of quo veranto cases challenged
the ancient rights and customs of
the city, and for a time the very
mayor of London was replaced by
a King’s lieutenant. But the mar-
shalling of the baronial forces to
the North and trouble on the

Sardis Excavation

And Its Problems
‘Told by Hanfmann

As Professor G. M. A. Hanfmann
of Haryard University pointed out
at the beginning of his lecture, the

fifteenth century, and has contin-
ued up until the recent investiga-
tions by Princeton University.
These expeditions were interested
in the Byzantine, Roman, and Per-
sian forms of the city, as well as
in the earlier Lydian form. Not
much trace of the early city of
Croesus (“as rich as... ”) had
ben found and the oldest large re-
mains of ancient times were the
one thousand burial mounds of the
kings from one thousand reigns,
and the Hellenistic temple of Ar-
temis-Cybele.
Geography of Region

Sardis is situated in Asia Minor,
on a plain with a river valley on
one side and the main acropolis on
the other. Since there were no
traces of the Lydian city, it was
difficult to decide where to begin
excavations, Some scholars ad-
vocated beginning near the river
bed, since Herodotus had reported
that the river flowed through the
town. Others suggested beginning
near the Byzantine acropolis.

Lydian Relics Found

The first important finds were
under the Temple of Artemis—
layers of earth containing relics of
Lydian times. These artifacts
could not be used to ascertain the

they had been washed down ky th
river from their original site. Coins
discovered here show that if the
Lydians did not invent this form
of exchange, they at least used
it very early. Another object dis-
covered was an old die, which sup-
ports Herodotus’ story that the
Lydians invented games. During
an eighteen-year siege food be-
came so scarce that they. ate every
other day and played games on
alternating days. fFinally, they
got tired of it all and went out
and conquered the Etruscans.

The expedition then proceeded
to a stone edifice which looked as
if it might be the city gate to the

The possibilties of a co-operative

ed by Miss Howe, Mrs. Marshall

in the Common Room.

Miss Howe recently attended a
conference of representatives of
the Seven Colleges where co-oper-
ative houses now operating on oth-
ercampuseswere explained. Figures

age students save $200 a year by

In reference to Bryn Mawr in

Evaluating the Re-evaluation

The report of the Re-evaluation Committee is a respon-
sible but incomplete and superficial document. Embodied in
the report are three strong recommendations: that the myth
of ipso facto membership in all the Big Six be abolished; that
a “co-ordinator” of sorts be created; and the Arts Council
be given a: formal status commensurate with the interest its
activities command. These are the proverbial steps in the
right direction. However, these suggestions are not elabor-
ated, nor have their consequences been completely thought
through; the structural changes which they seem to involve
are not, at this stage, changes at all.

Ipso facto membership in League, Alliance, A.A. and
Interfaith (Arts Council would be added to this list) touches
the campus as a whole only when elections are held.’ There
is therefore no point in abolishing ipso facto membership if
college-wide elections are to remain. If ipso facto member-:
ship is repudiated, the rationale for. college-wide elections is
gone. Adding Arts Council to the elections schedule would
only further complicate and elongate an already incredibly
long and complex procedure. We suggest that these five or-
ganizations be recognized as the specialized interest groups
they are and properly should be and that board elections of
all officers be adopted.

The job of “co-ordinator” as it stands is an extremely
nebulous one. It may be true that the number of chores ac-
cruing to the position of president of Undergrad (and poss-
ibly of Self-Gov. also) needs to be reduced, if future scholars
are going to be willing to accept the job. This might be ac-
complished by a better distribution of responsibility within
the organization, rather than by the transference of a few
tasks to a supernumerary. If a co-ordinator per se is
needed—and if she would do anything other than chair Co-
ordinating Council, hardly an onorous task—then we are up
against the question of a student body president. ‘“Co-ordin-
ating” can include nothing or everything; a great many large
and small matters might congregate around such a position,
or its holder might be nothing but a figurehead. What train-
ing would be necessary for a “non-partisan” co-ordinator?
Would she come from the ranks of any one of the major or-
ganizations or. from no organization at all? Would the po-
sition require experience in all areas of activity? It is obvi-
ous that clear definition of such a position is essential. We
think it is worth working on. °

The most important recommendation of the Committee
is that re-evaluation be continued. But please, no more com-

mittees until some serious discussion in hall meetings indi- |

cates the range of opinion. Otherwise we may have com-
mittee after committee in an infinite regress.

problems of definition in the minds
of most people who read it. The

List. ss

of the Presidents of the four class-



-ernment—i.e:-—the—structural—rela=
tionships of the different groups
on campus. The members of the
committee talked to the presidents
of the Big Six, canvassed opinions,
and held many meetings. The out-
come of their year’s work is print-
ed elsewhere in this paper. The

“| report is not conclusive; the first

recommendation is that its work
be continued,

The present report contains val-
uable observations and sugges-
tions, We are sure that new sug-
gestions, alternatives, and criti-
cisms will occur to all those who
read it. If there is widespread
enough interest a new committee

where the old one left off, and to
draw up a plan sufficiently detailed
to be voted upon.

The problems involved here are
not unique to the Bryn Mawr cam-
pus. After a crisis precipitated by
a lack of candidates for major of-
fices, Vassar has recently handed
its student government back to
the Administration; Smith, also
disturbed by a general lack of re-
sponsibility, is seeking some sort
of centralization in hopes that this
will give new life to its myriad
committees. The question now
to be raised is whether there is a
lack of responsibility inherent in
our generation of students, or
whether the fault lies in the com-
iplexities of the student organiza-
tions themselves. It is this prob-
lem which perhaps gives the Re-
evaluation Committee its greatest
importance,

1. It is recommended that this
committee be continued and that

|the suggestions in this report be

given further consideration.

II. In general, the committee con-
cluded that the present structure
should be modified to admit new
organizations and to distinguish be-
tween activities of general college
interest and those of individual
selection. After discussing the opin-
ions of the Big Six presidents
(1957-58), the committee decided
that two definite changes should be
made in the present arrangement
and that these changes necessitated
some reorganization of the entire
structure.

1. It was felt that the chairman-

3. It was also ‘suggested that the
office of Co-ordinator be ¢reated
as an independent and non-partisan
position. The duties of such a Co-
ordinator would include chairing
the Co-ordinating Council (com-
posed of the presidents of Self-Gov.,
Undergrad, Alliance, League, Inter-
faith, AA and Arts Council—and
class presidents) and initiating
and co-ordinating inter-club activ-
ities. It was hoped that the
(Co-ordinator would be a person
familiar with the organizations,
who could foresee problems that
might arise among them. She would
also be expected to plan and co-
ordinate projects in which all
groups would participate.

4. In addition, since organiza-
tions like Alliance and League no
longer had ipso facto membership,
the present plan of Common Treas-
ury dues would have to be replaced
by'a College Activities fee charged
with tuition assessments. The treas-
urer would. be responsible to the
Co-ordinating Council.

5. By this change the Under-
graduate Association would be able
to concentrate entirely on “Social
and Tradition” affairs. It was
recommended that the Undergrad
president assume responsiblity for
co-ordinating clubs and committees
under the Association while the
vice-president would manage so-
cial. activities.

6. The other organizations would
continue to have their presidents
college-elected and would remain
autonomous groups, i.e., their ex-
ecutive boards would continue to
legislate for their organization.

the president of the Undergraduate

on the Undergrad president through
the necessity that she has to work
on two different administrative
levels (as one of the Big Six and as
Chairman of Co-ordinating Council)
seem to warant this change. The
Committee did, however, recognize
that the interpretation of the Un-
dergrad presidency would vary with
che personality of the individual
holding office. On the other hand,
the Committee agreed that the
management of activities which
involved all organizations (e.g.,

by Carole Watts

In September 1957 I “retired”
from college for a year. Since I live
in the Washington, D. C. area I
had been working during the sum-
mer for a small White House group
—the President’s Committee on Sci-
entists and Engineers—and my de-
cision to temporarily forsake aca-
demic pursuits was influenced
greatly by the secretarial ‘position
that the Committee offered me, for
the rest of the year if I wished.

President Eisenhower had estab-
lished the Committee in 1956 as an

“action” rather than a study group,
which he charged to “enlist the aid
of citizens and citizens’ groups in
stimulating interest in science and
mathematics education” at the ele-

mentary and secondary school levels
in order to alleviate current tech-
nological manpower’ shortages.

March 2, 1959
Dear College News,

I’m answering so promptly not
because that is the way I do things,
but because any letter from a stu-
dent seems to me important and
interesting—I make this rather
plop remark right away because I
think it will show you immediate-
ly something rather central about
me, namely that I am still more
teacher than writer.

Q. Do I prefer writing short
stories to writing novels—do I fall
in with the line that most fiction-
writers are novelists, marking time
or making money with short stor-
ies?

YES I prefer short stories and
NO I’m not in this line. I think
novel-writing is horrible work,
very fascinating and I have to do
it; plan to write two more after
the present one (on which I collab-
orate with my husband, else I just
couldn’t face it, for as many of my
former teachers could probably tell
you I am a great hedonist and not
one to knock herself out if it’s to
be avoided). These aren’t to be
avoided. When I shall have writ-
ten my three great ghastly things
T’ll have coped with the three worst
problems I can think of, and I
shal] then relax and write nothing
but short stories and letters to
the News,

Q. Did I acquire a bushel of re-
jection slips before I was accept-
ed, etc.

Now brace yourself, for the ans-
wer to this question contains a
fact which renders me almost use-
less as an example to your writing
community, though I aspire to
have some words for them never-
theless. The fact is this: I never
wrote a word of fiction before two
years ago, at the age of 39. I did
no writing to speak of at college:
the glamour of scholarship was on
me, and I was a French major. I

reading of Horace with a Mrs.
Holland; Miss Berthe Marti’s sec-
tion on Mediaeval Latin for the
Comprehensives changed my en-
tire writing life, as I see it now
(!); all my studies with the late
and loved Miss Margaret Gilman;
a section in the introductory course
in Puropean History, in —which-
Dean Helen Taft Manning was
talking about Anne of Brittany;
later she was talking about some
other damn thing, Nice or Savoy
or something, and there it was
again. Well, I think you get the
point. If I were all of you, I’d
just assume that everything you
learn at BMC, up to and including
footnotes and bibliographies, will
be of immense and irreplaceable
help to you as a writer some day.
I was very stupid im geology and
had to take the course twice, and
don’t know beans about it to this
day, but I learned some of my
best words from jt and they are in
all my stories, “triassic” and “gas-
tropod” and stuff like that. If I'd
done more imaginative writing
there it might have helped; but I
didn’t. If I were all of you, I’d
have as much as possible to do
with Miss Bettina Linn, whose
student I never was, but: whose
admirer I am.

Publishers are on. this mad
search for writers, no matter what
you all may think. Write some-
thing possible, let alone good, and
they’ll be after you like mad. I
haven’t had much trouble with re-
jections, though in three cases the
magazines which took my stories
did so after they had been rejected
elsewhere, When your stories get
professional enough—and here I
can be of no great help, it’s just
something that happens all of a
sudden—editors, usually junior
ones, write you very careful let-
ters about them and you learn a
lot. I am continually in a state
of amazement over the idealism,
sensitivity, catholicity of taste,

Bette Haney Reports On
With Parthenogenesis In

Scientists were highly skeptical
when Dr. Marlow W. Olsen, a
poultry physiologist with the De-
partment of Agriculture’s Research
Service in Beltsville, Maryland, re-

hens were developing into apparent-
ly normal embryos. I was one of the
most skeptical when I went to
work with Dr. Olsen. two summers
ago. I carefully investigated the
locks on his individual. cages where
he kept these amazing hens: and
asked him many, many questions,



Grandfatherless Turkey

suspecting there must be some
accident somewhere that would ex-
plain these strange happenings, It
was in these long discussion ses-
sions during which we hoped to get
some idea about what was causing
this growth known as_ partheno-
genesis (from the Greek partheons
— maiden, genesis — origination,
meaning the development of an egg
without fertilization) that I learned
the story of the “fatherless tur-
keys.”

The problem first arose when Dr.

Olsen was trying to obtain virgin
turkey hens for a fertility experi-
ment he was conducting. Usually
this is done by isolating the hens
from the male turkeys and within
a short time the hens cease laying
fertile eggs. However, isolated hens
‘continued laying fertile eggs for a
very long period of time even



though they were isolated from the



Bitterness Found in H’ford Class Night;
Honors To Seniors And Kaback

by Barbara Broome and
Alison Baker .

The book of Job, The Catcher in
the Rye, and The Music Man all
made contributions to the usual
Haverford Class Night. ‘fun last
Thursday and Friday but instead
of the genuine laugh-provoking
humor generally found in these
productions, the result was often
that of bitterness. The shows in
spite of this, however, had many
uproariously funny moments.

Orientation Week, 1958, present-
ed by the freshman class, had a
distinct advantage in being the
first play on the program because
the audience had not yet tired of
the typical Haverford jokes and
caricatures. Phil Krone as Pres-
ident Borton with his “uh-very hu-
morous joke a Japanese friend told
me” was greeted with gales of
laughter as was John Williams
playing the athletic director with
sports for “those who are and
also for those ‘who aren’t interest-
ed.” Ted Havri as “the Al. Ca-
pone of Eastern Pennsylvania” and
the three “lovelies”

‘Sedwick, Teles George) also de-
serve mention for their clever and
humorous portrayals.

The highlight of Orientation,

from the}

strictly biased point of view) was
the takeoff on the traditional Bryn
Mawr freshman show kick chorus
complete with 1962 on the bloom-
ers. This was a very refreshing
moment in the show and should
have ended it. The narrator’s cur-
tain line proved to be anti-climac-
tic and left the audience with a
taste of bitterness,

. The class of 1961’s A Host of
Rebel Angels was at a distinct dis-
‘advantage. It had many of the
‘same characters as the preceding
play and one felt as if one were
seeing a continuation of Orienta-
tion. Thé theme, that Haverford
was more like Hell than Hell it-
self, was very cleverly treated
with some excellent acting on the
part of Bo Schambelan who played
Satan. The other characters were
less satisfactory, however, with
the exception of Eric Hoffman as
the spirit of Bryn Mawr (complete
with hatchet and the offer of
“guiltless love, fearless sex and
eternal impropriety”) and Jim
Pendleton as her boy friend.
One remark, made by the comp-
troller. to the devils, remains with.
us: “My methods are modern—
but man, you gotta atmosphere!”
‘And, atmosphere they had .

and shovel!

The highlight of: the evening,
however, was the class of 1960’s
Joe: A Play Not in Verse, Based
on the tribulation of the Biblical
Job (complete with “scripture”-
reading “preacher” Art Wright),
the play. had many of the qualities
which made their production Peter
Rabbit in Western Civilization
such a success last year. It pre-
sented the Haverford situation in
a refreshing and original way and
the humor was such that it could
be appreciated even by those not
closely familiar with Haverford.
The setting was carefully planned,
and the dialogue clever and in
keeping with the theme. The bit-
terness which seemed to pervade
the plays, however, was also pres-
ent—if to a lesser extent. (In all
of Joe’s tribulations the authors
seemed to forget that God eventu-
ally did restore everything to Job).

The acting was one of the high
points of the show. Special men-
tion must be made of Werner Mul-
ler as Joe, Truman Bullard as. Mr.
Ashmead and Keith Bradley ag the

males, Out of curiosity Dr. Olsen
isolated some hens shortly after
pirth, kept them in separate, locked
cages and examined their incubated
éggs macroscopically (cracked open
the eggs and looked to see if there
were any signs of developing em-
bryo or membrane -growth). He
reported in 1953 that 22.2% of
these eggs from hens which had
never been mated developed par-
‘thenogenetically upon incubation.
He has successfull raised several
‘of these fatherless individuals to
maturity (see picture). They are
very weak and susceptible to dis-
ease and must be pampered if they

are to survive. However, there are.

several healthy active individuals
alive, one of which has just this
past month sired a healthy brood
of young turkeys. They are there-
fore able to sire young with normal
turkey hens, giving rise to “grand-
fatheérless individuals” (see pic-
ture).

My project involved microscopic
examination of eggs developing
within the body of the hens which
had been shown to produce a large
incidence of parthenogenetically de-
veloping eggs. By this study we
hoped to determine if the partheno-
genetically developing eggs were
behaving differently in their early
development and cell cheavage from
normally fertilized eggs. Hens were
forced to lay eggs prematurely by
injecting them with pituitary ex-
tract. The blastodises (area on top
of yolk where turkey develops)
were removed from the egg and
prepared for sectioning and stain-
ing. Hens were operated on to ob-
tain eggs higher in the oviduct. The
results of my examinations showed
many more eggs were beginning to
cleave than had been detected in
examining the newly laid eggs.
Thirty-eight of the 89 eggs I ex-
amined microscopically showed
some degree of development. Only
38% -of the eggs from these same
hens which have been examined
macroscopically showed develop-
ment. The second conclusion we
could draw was that development
is initiated at the same time, but
proceeds at a much reduced rate as
compared to development of norm-

ally fertilized eggs.

Parthogenesis is certainly not a
new phenomenen. It is the usual
type of reproduction among some of
the colonial algae, the rotifers,
some crustaceans and some insects
(male bees develop from unfertil-
ized eggs). For some ‘time scien-

tists have been able to induce par- ._—

thenogenesis by mechanical and
chemical means in a wide range of
animal species. The work on tur-
keys-at-Beltsville-and-the confirma-
tory experiment. by Dr. Kosin from
Seattle, Washington, are the first
instance in the scientific literature
where parthenogenetic development
is “just happening” without being
scientifically induced.

What “is causing this develop-
ment? What agent is having ‘the
same triggering effect as the
sperm? The action of the virus
which is used to protect the turkeys
against fowl pox may be significant,
but this is only a postulate and the
truth is that no one yet really
knows. We do know all the father-
less individuals are male, which is
a check to prove that they are truly
fatherless since the chromosomal
set up in birds would only allow
males to be produced when the
female chromosomes alone are in-

volved in development. We also

know that the tendency for turkeys
and also chickens to undergo. par-
thenogenetic development seems to
be more prevalent in some strains
than in others; in other words, it
seems to be an inherited tendentcy.

As is evident by this brief sum-

mary there are many factors still
to be investigated in the mystery
of the fatherless turkeys. The New
York Times last Saturday reported
the new grandfatherless turkey
brood. and included a comment by
Dr. Harry L. Shapiro, chairman of
the Department of Anthropology at
the American Museum of Natural
History and a leading geneticist.

whole idea he concluded all that any

Discovery Made for Music Lovers,
Radnor High Offers Concert Series

by Alison Baker

THE COLLEGE NEWS

Wednesday,. “March- 11, - 1959



If you go into Philadelphia for the orchestra, or even if you don’t,
consider setting your sights in the opposite direction and taking in
one of the Chamber or solo concerts in Wayne. .

Guimar Novaes (piano) and Tossy Spivakovsky (violin) ‘are’ the
two biggest names in this year’s concert series at the Radnor High

School, but the other less known
musicians who complete the list





are probably equally interesting to

music lovers of Bryn Mawr.

These concerts, sponsored by
the. Tri-County Concerts Associa-
tion, charge no admission, although
contributions ‘are welcome, and
require only a short ride on the
Paoli Local to get there. It is a
great opportunity, providing good
music close at hand, but one nev-
ertheless of which many remain
abysmally unaware.

Although many of the names on
posters advertising the concerts
may not be familiar to the aver-
age concert~goer, the, series main-
tain a reputable standard of ex-
cellence, and have even made a
good number of “discoveries”, giv-
ing performers their first boost
towards a soaring musical career.

Last Friday evening, Isabel
(Mourao, an excellent Brazilian pi-
anist, presented a. powerful se-
quence of Bach, Mozart, Schumann
and Chopin. Next on the program
are two concerts during Bryn
Mawr’s spring vacation—an oppor-
tunity for those remaining at col-
lege.

Friday, ‘April 3. “Tt will be made

up of David Madison, the acting

concertmaster of the Philadelphia
orchestra, Vladimir Sokoloff, a
well-known Philadelphia pianist,
and Mason Jones, a French hom
player in the Philadelphia orches-
tra, whom many at Bryn Mawr
know through his explanations and
performances in the brass ensem-
ble workshop which took place at
the college earlier this year. The
Brahms Horn Trio is the only
part of their program yet adver-
tised, ‘but that in itself would
merit a trip to the contert.

The next performance is intend-
ed largely for children, on the
afternoon of Sunday, April 5.
William Smith, the assistant con-
ductor of the Philadelphia Orches-
tra, will conduct forty of its mem-
bers. The program isn’t yet post-
ed,

Plans for after vacation are

last year.

The fourth play of the evening,
1959’s Seek and Ye Shail..., had
the abstraction and sophisticated
Sheldonlike quality usually found
in productions given by the class.
The setting, highly modernistic,
was certainly the most outstand-
ing and original of the evening.
The dialogue, although sometimes
crude and in poor taste, often con-

tained some truly beautiful. poetry. |

support from the other members
of the cast, Especially memorable
were Thayer Willis as the think-
ing man, Richard Lederer and
Hugh Ogden as the liberal arts
representatives, and Tim Sheldon
as “Bob Manbut”, the College
Theatre director.

Clever Lyrics

In the Freshman and Sophomore
productions what music there ‘was
stemmed from musical shows or
college songs, and in either case
its virtue lay in clever lyrics, spir-
it, and characterization in perform-
ance, rather than in tunefulness.
The Juniors, on the other hand,
with a good backing of saxophone
and piano, presented a series of
catchy tunes written by Truman
Bullard, which, besides being en-
joyable on their own account, fit-.
ted in very well with the charac-
ters and action. Particularly ef-
fective was the drumbeat and” in-
strumental motive accompanying
each new. manifestation of Joe’s
downfall.

In the Senior show, George
Brewster’s music was used lange-
ly for background, and its effect-
iveness as such can be measured
by the fact that it blended, almost
to the point of being unnoticeable,
with the dialogue and action on
the stage. Thus, what it attempt-
ed it accomplished very success-
fully.

Startling Style?

Q. Does one have to use some
startling style or appeal to some
established vogue to succeed? NO
NO NO NO. Again, look at your
correspondent! Who could be less
beat? Naturally I think it helps
to have a subject which has an ob-

your. own, and the feeling for the
subject must be your own: itis
death to chances of success, let
alone to proper self-development
as a writer, to try for vogues. A
generation ago, good writers miss-
ed their chance by pattering after
Hemingway. This chase ends in
one place: Monkey Hill. You may
sell a story or a book—many have
—hbut it just won’t be much of a
start in life.

Gives Advice to Youth

(You didn’t ask me this one, but
I’m pretending you did). What’s
my pet advice for the young?
Don’t hang around with other
young people too much, Hang
around older people! Listen to
what the old girls and buzzards
say in class. Read the books.
Make some friends outside your
generation. Look at grown-ups.
Listen to grown-ups. Youth is
something we are put into this
‘world to rise above, to paraphrase
a celebrated thought. It is some-
thing not to be exploited—it is
something to be outgrown as RAP-
IDLY as possible. It is better to
hang around with people a lot
younger than yourself—10, 14, etc.
—than with people in your own
age group. You all arrest each
other’s development. — si

One more thing: if you’re writ-
ing something; ask yourself all the
time, not is this ME, or is this
truly sensitive, or well expressed
or anything—just ask yourself, is
it interesting. All the time, is it
interesting—get your friends, pref-
erably older ones of course, to
read your ms, and write just two
words in the margin at all appro-
priate spots—‘“interesting” and
“dull.” These are key words I
think. If quite a few people think
something you have written is in-

The. President’s Committee dis-
appeared from the Washington
seene December 31, 1958, due in
part to lack of funds (the money
available was never adequate ‘to
accomplish the task originally en-
visioned): and partially..due to frus-
tration. It seems. that America’s

concern over our cultural back-
wardness has died as rapidly as
Sputnik I created it. And too, gov-
ernmental “red tape’. is a real
thing. It is interesting to note that
the only time that Dr. Bevis talked
with the President during the Com-
mittee’s entire 2-year tenure, was
the day the group was established.
Most of our inter-office correspon-
dence with the White House would
come back signed or initialed
“Sherman Adams.” This has. led
some people. to believe that the
Committee on Scientists and Engi-
neers as well as the President’s
Committee on Weather Control,
which operated during the same
period, was merely a_ stop-gap
measure used by the present ad-
ministration to evade a pressing
problem. Naturally any political
rationale, if one existed, was not
made known. However, with regard
to the distinguished scientists who
gathered the personnel and set the
President’s Committee on Scien-
tists and Engineers up, it is only
fair to mention that they had the
best of intentions and foresaw with
enthusiasm the important job which
could have been accomplished had
the necessary support been forth-
coming from the White House.
