Fun and Frolic for the Future

May Day

In Roman times on the Kalends of
May youths danced in the field in
honor of the goddess of fruits and
flowers. In Renaissance England the
same exuberance came out in a fes-
tival which was dedicated to Robin
Hood, who in a final demonstration
of his love of fun and his considera-
tion for the lower classes, died on
the first of May.

Although Robin Hood, that arch-
equalizer of the propertied and the
unpropertied, should surely be the
most popular of all great Marxist
figures, the Soviet Union has over-
looked his value as propaganda. In-
stead the Communists have chosen
to channel springtime energy into a
glorification of the workers of the
world, thereby theatening the tra-
ditional May Day balance of male
and female elements.

Our Variety

It is the Renaissance English va-
riety of May Day which has been
preserved at Bryn Mawr, even
though our present ceremony is only
a relatively feeble survival of the
college’s Big May Day, which was
complete with oxen and with “Queen
Elizabeth” carried before her subjects
in a chair. This year, for example,
only the Sophomores will arise at an
hour which would have been accept-
able to an industrious Elizabethan;
the Seniors will not be awakened
until 5:45. After coffee and dough-
nuts in the halls Seniors will leave
their hoops and baskets in Good-
hart’s front foyer and troop over to
give Miss McBride her May basket.

At 7:00 from Rock Tower the
seniors will sing the Latin hymn
which is traditionally sung from
Magdalen Tower in Oxford. That
ceremony, it is said, was originally
envisioned by M. Carey Thomas at
the moment when she first saw the
architect’s drawing of Rockefeller.
After the May Queen, who is the
Senior Class President, Ruta Krau-
tins, is crowned in Rock by Sopho-
more Class President, breakfast will
be served to the four classes in four
different halls.

Maypole Dancing

At 7:45 underclassmen will line
up by Pem Arch and seniors at Rock
Arch for the 8:00 o’clock procession
to Merion Green for maypole danc-
ing and speeches by Miss McBride
and the May Queen. The Pem East
pageant and performances by recor-
der and madrigal groups will be giv-
en at 8:30 on the library steps.

Every year the Pembroke East
Juniors present a Dragon Play on
May Day. This year’s play deals
with St. George and the aforemen-
tioned Dragon, who are searching
for a beautiful maiden. The play
is written and directed by Joan Pad-
dock.

Then the assembly will adjourn to
Goodhart, where, after the Seniors
have skipped with their hoops, Miss
McBride will announce prizes and
certain scholarships. At 9:30 will be
the Hoop Race, a modernized version
of the gleeful hoop-rolling which for-
merly occurred when the Orals which
were really oral were passed. Ten
o’clock classes will be held after sing-
ing at the head of Senior Row.

In the evening there will be mor-

ris dancing, recorder- playing and |

madrigals at 6:45 and a College
Theater play at 7:45. Finally, at
8:00, step-singing will be held on
Taylor steps.

In the dread event of a rainy May
Day, the outdoor activities will be
omitted. Breakfast will be at 8:00
and the assembly in Goodhart at
9:00; if it has cleared by 5:00 in the
afternoon maypole dancing, the hoop

Night of the Lacuna

from the Faculty Show Committee

The Lacuna, as yet amorphous
and ill-defined, will lean heavily
on tradition in the customary con-
servative and apathetic Bryn
Mawr fashion. And so, on rare and
reluctant occasions, the Faculty la-
bors and brings forth a Show. The
present effort will provide, as the
title suggests, a somewhat vacuous
contrast to our daily round of
good sense and scholarship and
bring the full force of almost uni-
ted faculty intellect to bear on the
question of nonsense and nullity.

Loosely strung together on a
thread of local color, disparate and
discrete acts are being designed to
provide scope for the various and
far-ranging talents which our
scouts have long been busy unveil-
ing. For the most part these will
be serious examinations of prob-
lems unsuited by nature to class-
room discussion. Comedy in the
Aristotelian sense (“a representa-
tion of inferior people, who are
not really bad but only laughable
insofar as they are morally doubt-
ful”) will be eschewed, and the
humor, if any, will smack of tra-
gic irony and incongruity.

To give a somewhat more spe-
cific notion of subject matter and
contents, we might say that the
terpsichorean activities will range
from the meteorological through
the nationalistic to the intricacies
of the data processing system.
The music, if not always brand
new, will be handled in an original
and hitherto unheard-of fashion.
Dialogue, spectacle and pantomine
will be interspersed for variety and
substance.

Depending largely on the coop-
eration of its wives and husbands
as well as College Theatre, the
Faculty takes pleasure in inviting
you to help fill the lacuna on the
night of May 4.



Tri-College

Tri-College Weekend will be a
bi-weekend affair. Events will be-
gin this Friday, April 27 with
a boatride on the Delaware aboard
the “Port Welcome.” A rock and
roll group and a “slow” dance band
will provide entertainment for the
duration of the cruise, 8:00 to
11:00 p. m., and hot roast beef
sandwiches will be available to
revitalize tired twisters. The eve-
ning will cost $2.00 per couple,
($1.25 stag) and the boat will leave
from pier 11, behind Bookbinder’s.

Tri-College Weekend itself be-
gins on Friday, May 4, with a
baseball game (co-ed) and 6:00
‘box lunch” supper at Swarthmore.
That nignt, the Bryn Mawr faculty
will reveal extra-academic talents

in the annual Faculty Show. Sat-

urday morning, the Bryn Mawr
Arts Council will put on a puppet],

Carter Analyzes ‘Rapidity’ and ‘Scope’
Of Independence Movements In Africa

“African independence is one of
the great movements of human
history,” commented Gwendolyn
Carter, Professor of Political Sci-
ence at Smith College and author
and editor of numerous books on
Africa. Miss Carter spoke on “The
Changing Face of Africa” on Wed-
nesday evening, April 18.

Miss Carter emphasized the



Dr. Felix Gilbert, Professor of
History, has been awarded the Col-
umbia University Bancroft Prize of
$4000 for his book, To the Farewell
Address, This prize is awarded an-
nually for “the best books in the
preceding year in the fields of Amer-
ican history (including biography,
diplomacy, or international rela-
tions”). Other winners this year
were Dr. Lawrence A. Cremin and
Dr. Martin B. Duberman.

To the Farewell Address traces

the European influences on the ideas
of early American diplomacy and
foreign policy. The book examines
the “new diplomacy” of the Amer-
ican States against the background
of European experience and theory,
showing the influence of the ideas
of the Enlightenment, their shift
from involvement in European power
polities to a concept of isolationism,
land the parts played by such leading
‘figures as Thomas Paine, Alexander
|Hamilton, John Adams, and Thomas
| Jefferson.
The book concludes with a study
| of George Washington’s “Farewell
| Address”, a summary of the entire
‘development of the book. Dr. Gilbert
| analyzes the ideas that went into the
program of foreign policy which
| Washington outlined in his famous
|message and which had such a far-
reaching influence on the later course
of American foreign policy.

The London Times Literary Sup-
plement in its appraisal of the book







Gilbert Book On Diplomacy
Wins Award From Columbia

wrote that “Professor Gilbert has
had what the French call a ‘genial
idea’ and he has developed it bril-
liantly . . . With learning and skill
Professor Gilbert has put the Ad-
dress in the class to which it belongs,
that of ‘political testament.’ ”

The American Historical Review
said Dr. Gilbert’s book “represents
an important contribution to that
fusion of intellectual and diplomatic
history which has been too little at-
tempted and which is highly desir-
able”’.

Dr. Gilbert has been with the
Bryn Mawr faculty since 1946. Or-
iginally a native of Baden-Baden,
Germany, he attended the universi-
ties of Heidelberg, Munich and Ber-
lin, received his Ph.D. degree from
Berlin in 1931. He was a member
of the Institute for Advanced Study
at Princeton, N. J. in 1989-42, He
was research analyst for the Office
of Strategic Services and the De-
partment of State, 1943-46. Since
his arrival at Bryn Mawr he has
been visiting lecturer at Harvard,
in 1955, and acting director of the
Amerika Institut, University of Co-
logne, Germany, in 1959-60.

He has published several other
works including Hitler Directs His
War (1950), Makers of Modern Stra-
tegy (1943) and The Diplomats
(1953), of which he was co-editor.
He also has contributed articles to
many scholarly journals.



“rapidity and scope” of the move-
ment for independence, reminding
her audience that seventeen Afri-
can nations became independent
in 1960, and, of these, only the
Congo into chaos.” Those
countries which were prepared by
Britain and France for independ-
ence (with the exception of Al-
geria) have, on the whole, fared
quite well. Greater trouble is to
be expected in those countries
whose colonial rulers are them-
selves less prosperous and exper-
enced and where the proportion
of whites is higher. South Africa
and Algeria have many more
white people than other African
countries—and especially, a great
many “poor whites”. In South Af-
rica there exists, in addition, the
philosophy among the ruling class
that they deserve compensation
for the wealth and development
they have put into that country.
Despite the “Balkanization” in
central Africa, Miss Carter feels
that there are definite tendencies
toward pan-Africanism on the con-
tinent. Especially that small group
of countries she calls the “mobil-
izing powers” — Ghana, Guinea,
Mali, and Egypt—are deeply com-
mitted to pan-Africanism, along
with an elimination of the tribal
system. With Morocco, these “mo-
bilizing powers” make up the
“Casablanca group.” The countries
of the “Casablanca group” are uni-
fied in that they exchange minis-
ters in each other’s cabinets. They
have, Miss Carter feels, the “most
dynamic external policy,” the
greatest amount of fervor towards
political union of all Africa.
Morocco is not exactly the same
as the other countries in the Cas-
ablanca group, for, along with
Uganda and Ethiopia, it can be
best classified by the term “mod-
ernizing autocracy.” Like modern
Japan, these four African nations

has been awarded each year alter-
nately to an Italian and a foreign
scholar who has attained renown in
studies of Rome and Roman culture.
Dr. Taylor is the first woman to re-
ceive the medal.

Dr. Taylor, wide-
ly known as an
authority on Ro-
man Civilization,
was once Dean of
the Graduate
School at Bryn
Mawr. Following
her retirement
from the college,
she was Professor-
in-Charge of the
School of Classical
Studies of the
American Acade-
my in Rome, a
post which she
held until the
summer of 1955.

In addition to nu-
merous articles,
Dr. Taylor has
published four
books: Local Cults in Etruria (1923),
The Divinity of the Roman Emperor
(1931), Party Politics in the Age of
Caesar (1949), and The Voting Dis-
tricts of the Roman Republic (1960).

Her merit as a scholar is perhaps
best expressed in this excerpt from
the minutes of the Board of Trus-
tees of the American Academy in
Rome:

“Her inexhaustible energy and
curiosity, her breadth of sympathy
and understanding have made them
memorable years in the Annals of
the Academy ... This Board may
justly feel that the Academy’s
ideal of the meeting of the minds
of scholar and artist, of American
and Italian, has never been ,more
truly fostered.”

Bryn Mawr Prints
Admission Figures

Yesterday, seven eastern women’s
colleges announced the acceptance
of a total of 4,624 students for en-
trance to next fall’s freshman class.
The institutions — Barnard, Bryn
Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe,
Smith, Vassar and Wellesley—made
their selections from among 9,787
applicants.

The Admissions committees of
each institution acted independently
in screening applicants. The com-
mittees noted that the number of
requests for admission had dropped
slightly this year, but attributed this
drop to improved counselling of high
school students and to increased use
of the Early Decision Plan, which
helps to eliminate duplcation. Of
1,808 freshmen who requested finan-
cial aid, 755 were offered help by
the colleges and their alumnae
groups. Others received scholarships
through competitions not connected
with their future colleges.

The enrollments in last year’s
freshman class at the seven colleges
were as follows: Bryn Mawr (with
an undergraduate body of approxi-
mately 700), 199; Radcliffe (1100),
273; Barnard (1450), 355; Mount
Holyoke (1450), 428; Vassar (1475),
434; Wellesley (1700), 476; and
Smith (2200), 577.

The Bryn Mawr Admissions Com-
mittee made decisions on 656 girls,
sending out 300 letters of acceptance.
Of the 300, 121 asked for some fi-
nancial aid and 438 requests were
granted.

The Class of ’66 will probably
number around 200.

New Driving Policy

This week, Executive Board made public a new college
policy about driving—one wnich we feel all students will
heartily approve ot. ‘lhe statement issued by txecutive
Board reads as follows:

On weekends and weeknights when the Col-
lege is not using the station wagon, it will be avail-
abie to students whose academic work or work with
a college organization requires that they travel. Ar-
rangements to use the station wagon will be made
through the Executive Board of Self-Government no
later than the Thursday prior to the night or week-
end on which the group wishes to use the car. When
more than one group requests the car at the same
time, the Executive Board will decide which group
may have it om the basis of distance to be travelled,
accessibility of public transportation, and the num-
ber of times the car has already been used by the
group involved.

A representative of the group should arrange
with Juli Kasius to present her request to Execu-
tive Board.

The use of one college station wagon by students—one
must be kept at the college at all times in case of emergency
—is possible because the insurance policy on the vehicles was
recently changed to cover qualified student drivers. Drivers,
ot course must take the responsibility for their passengers—
and pay for the gas. Otherwise, the use of the car is free
of charge.

The News applauds the new policy on two counts. First,
we are pleased that off-campus activities and academic facili-
ties which are inconvenient to reach by public transportation
have now become more accessible. We, at Bryn Mawr, con-
stantly run the risk of ivory-tower imprisonment, and any
method of improving our chances of worthwhile contacts in
the off-campus world are certainly worthwhile.

Secondly, we are pleased to note that securing the sta-
tion wagon tor student use was a student-initiated idea with
which the administration fully co-operated. After the con-
troversy on all sides over the driving rule, we are glad to see
a simple, constructive suggestion become a policy. The use
of one college station wagon may not be the most far-reach-
ing development ever to appear on the Bryn Mawr campus,
but there will be times when a debating team, a group of
students wanting to go to a political conterence, or a history
class which wishes to go on a field trip may reach their des-
tination more quickly and conveniently than was possible
in the past.

No May Day Issue:

The College News is breaking a tradition. There will
be no issue May Day morning. Instead the News will ap-
pear as usual Wednesday evening, May 2. The major prize
and certain new scholarships will be announced in the pa-
per, but there will not be a complete listing of all scholar-
ship winners. The News will also publish reviews of May
Day activities as well as the articles covering other events
both on and off campus in next week’s issue.

A Disappointment:

The first two panel discussions in the series “Can Man
Survive” have been vague and ill defined. To whom is this
series addressed? Is it to those who have never considered
the problem before or to those who have a basic knowledge
in the field and who want to hear a new and controversial
opinion? Unfortunately, we feel that it has failed to satisfy
either group. It has provided too little information present-
ed in too confusing a manner to enlighten the ignorant. It
has provided no stmiulating or unfamiliar arguments to
those who have already discussed the issues.

In our opinion, the audience at the first two panels has
been an informed one and is aware of the problems. What
they are not aware of are all the answers proposed by vari-
ous schools of thought, and the reasons which impel them
to their conclusions. With a topic as specific as this one,
the last panel in the series has the opportunity to come
down to earth and deal with the substance of the matter
at hand.

The panels have certainly been interesting because
there has been a clash of opinion among the participants,
but a rehash of known and contrasting views is not calcu-
lated either to clarify or to deepen the issues. We realize
that there is no answer to the question proposed by the ser-
ies, but there are answers to specific questions involved in
the topic. The need of this campus is not to hear broad
generalizations and individual theories. What we need are
facts—or even the knowledge that in certain cases there
may be no facts.

The third panel to be held on May 7 is entitled “Alter-
natives to the Arms Race.” What are these alternatives?
aici they scientifically, economically, and politically feas-
ible?

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:

Why hide Bryn Mawr’s talent?
Last week’s chorus concert showed
the least possible devlopment of the
ability of the two college choruses
—assumedly the purpose of having
a college chorus. As a backdrop for
professional singers the choruses
sauirmed from boredom and rarely
watched the conductor. They can
hardly be blamed for being impa-
tient for an hour’s worth of stand-
ing and ten minutes’ worth of sing-
ing.

The many assets of working with
professionals seems to be best and
fully accomplished by the unique
opportunity to work under Eugene
Ormandy once a year. Why can’t
the rest of the year be devoted to
programs in which the ability of our
own vocalists can be stretched?
Within a four-year period of this
kind of training the level of the po-
tential soloists within the college
would certainly be challenged, and
I believe it is a challenge our own
talent can meet and rise above.

What about student conductors?
The task of trying to be a conductor
might impress upon the students
more emphatically the importance
of a conductor and the need of watch-
ing him.

Bryn Mawr’s college chorus seems
to be an asset that is being ignored
and abused by inadequate challenge.

NSA Candidates Express Views

Editor’s Note: These are state-
ments by the four candidates for
representative to the National
Student Association. The elec-
tion will be held Thursday, at
lunch,

A meeting to meet the candi-
dates will take place in the Com-
mon Room, tonight at 7:45.

by Marise Rogge ’65

‘NSA has two purposes: it is the
only voice of collective student
political opinion in the United
States, and it is the coordinator of
student efforts to exchange infor-
mation with each other.

NSA is far from perfectly rep-
resented, but this election gives
Bryn Mawr a chance to send some-
one to NSA who really represents
the majority political opinion here.

The second purpose is not ful-
filled when only the representative
and the few who actively partici-
pate ever find out about other
campuses. We should have an open
discussion of the summer conven-
tion in October, and very frequent
reports in the News about NSA ac-
tivities all year long. Thus NSA
will be less remote from Bryn
Mawr life.



by Susan Orr ’63

NSA needs Bryn Mawr, but I
think we need NSA even more.
The responsibility of the NSA del-
egate is to keep the student body in-
formed of the possible projects and
resources available to us as members
of NSA and to pave the way for
the Bryn Mawr student to make
use of these facilities. I, myself,
discovered that NSA does offer these
activities to interested campuses





year!

when I went to a winter conference
last year at Rutgers on the Peace
Corps and HUAC. NSA offers us
summer travel programs, summer
seminars in international affairs at
the University of Pennsylvania, free
movies available upon request, a val-
uable information center for infor-
mation about other campuses, and
winter and summer seminars on cur-
rent problems in national and stu-
dent government.



by Judy Frankle ’63

As National Student Association
coordinator, I would endeavor to
bring news of student action and
pinion of other colleges and univer-
sities to this campus. This informa-
tion would include actions involving
student government as well as out-
side issues and might be brought to
the attention of the Bryn Mawr stu-
dent through a short column in the
News, and a special space on the
Taylor bulletin board. I would in-
vite NSA-recommended speakers
who are involved in areas of interest
to students, who might have contro-
versial points of view which might
prove stimulating to our student
body. When an issue of great in-
erest on campuses throughout the
country is raised, I would try to
bring information, speakers, discus-
sions, and possibly debate to the
campus on the issue, and if the idea
of a poll was found agreeable, I
vould take one.



Caroline Roosevelt ’65

1 voted against keeping NSA at
Bryn Mawr, because I feel the or-
ganization has derived a lot more
benefit from the college than
Bryn Mawr has from NSA. Now
that NSA is here to stay, however,
the college representative to the
organization should do her best to
see that Bryn Mawr profits from
its participation. The representa-
tive should not only attend the
summer conference and inform the
campus of the proceedings there,
but also make sure that the stu-
dents are constantly aware of the
acivities, policies, and attitudes of
NSA. More than that, NSA should
provide a link between Bryn Mawr
and other colleges so that we may
have a source of varied ideas for
student and campus activity and
organization (to be used for im-
provement of, or comparison with,
sur own existing functions). We
would contribute a great deal to
NSA; but we must also receive in
return.



Campus Democrats Preview
Meeting, Campaigns, Survey

by Harriet Bograd ’63

The Young Democrats of Bryn
Mawr College believe that parti-
cipation in party politics is one of
the most important activities of a
citizen. For the future of our na-
tion depends in large part on the
strength and responsibility of the
parties, which choose our political
leaders and bring issues to the
attention of the public. The pur-
pose of all activities of Bryn Mawr
Young Democrats is to prepare
students to provide the leadership
so badly needed by the political
parties. This is done by learning
about the parties on the theoreti-
cal and practical levels, and by
actually working in Democratic
campaigns.

The Young Democrats have be-
come very active in the past few
weeks. Recently Harriet Bograd,
Ellen Gorman, and Joanna Wood-
row, representing the Bryn Mawr
Young Democrats, met at the home
of Charles Cooper, a member of the
Bryn Mawr Political Science De-
partment, to organize the indepen-
dent “Citizens for Clark-Dilworth”’
campaign for Western Montgom-
ery County. This committee is
counting on college students to
help conduct its campaign.

In the more immediate future,
several programs have been plan-
ned in which Bryn Mawr students
are urged to participate. On May
1, the Young Democratic Associa-
tion of Philadelphia, an independ-
ent group composed mainly of
young professional men, will have
a meeting at which Richardson Dil-
worth, the Democratic gubernator-

inl eandidata will ennaly and nm

swer questions. This will be at
8:15, in the Hall of Flags at the
Sheraton Hotel.

This weekend the Middle Atlan-
tic Conference of the National Fe-
deration of College Young Demo-
crats, the student branch of the
national Democratic Party, will
take place at the University of
Pennsylvania. Students from New
York, New Jersey, and Pennsylva-
nia will meet there to discuss their
role in the coming campaigns, to
learn about campaign techniques,
to discuss political issues, and to
hear addresses by Senator Clark
of Pennsylvania and Senator Wil-
liams of New Jersey. Rolly Phil-
lips (Radnor ’65) has been a
member of the committee which
planned this conference. Volun-
teers to represent Bryn Mawr are
still needed.

Finally, the Young Democratic
Association of Philadelphia has
asked Bryn Mawr students to help
in the local primary campaigns
before the primary elections of
May 15. Also, this association has
asked students to conduct a survey
of racial discrimination in one pre-
dominantly Negro district, in order
to support their candidate and find
which issues he should emphasize.
The civil rights group at Bryn
Mawr has agreed to work on this
project.

It must be emphasized that no
political experience is necessary for
any of these projects—the pur-
pose of these is to provide such
experience. If you are interested
in participating in any of these, or

Archaeologist Cook Pictures
Living In Old Greek Towns





John M. Cook, Professor of An-
cient History and Archaeology at
the University of Bristol, spoke
Monday night on “Old Smyrna and
Early Ionia”. The Ionians (the east-
ern branch of the Greek people)
founded in Asia Minor “settlements
not unlike those of the English set-
tlers on this seaboard.” From small
villages these colonies expanded to
include, eventually, most of a vast
continent.

Arriving about 1000 B.C. the first
Greeks founded their towns by the
sea—preferably on peninsulas or is-
lands converted to peninsulas by con-
structing a causeway. At first they
lived in little huts of mud-brick,
curved at both ends, and crowded to-
gether in a “dense slum town”.

In Smyrna in the seventh cen-
tury there was a radical change in
living conditions as the city was
rebuilt along a regular plan—the
first example known in Greek
architecture of town planning—
and with larger, “more dignified”
houses—the first example of “the
town house” known in Greece. Life
became more comfortable in the
seventh century — “almost every
house had its terra-cotta bath tub”.

New Urbanism

It was in the sixth century,
though, that Ionian culture reached
its climax, leading the Greek world in
art, architecture, and thought. Af-
ter a series of political blows, how-
ever, the area declined in the fifth
century to its lowest ebb—return-
ing to prominence in the fourth
with another change in outlook, a
“new urbanism” illustrating a new
sort of society. From a_ society
based on plenty of leisure and
plenty of labor, the emphasis was
changed to a “middle class, almost
one class” culture geared to conve-
nience and efficiency. ,

Many cities in the fourth century
were remodeled or built from
scratch. An example of this is



The Folies Bizarre
Join Humor, Song

The Bryn Mawr Maids and Por-
ters Show, to be given Saturday,
April 28, promises a “new look”
this year. Instead of seeing the
production of a Broadway show,
the audience will sit in on The
Folies Bizarre, a “rehearsal” of a
history of past shows.

Unfortunately for the hard-
working “stage manager” (played
by George Bryan, Maids Bureau),
the rehearsal will be interrupted
by an assortment of unusual char-
acters including a_ prefabricated-
fall-out-shelter salesman (Bill
Graves, Dalton), an unemployed
female tragedian (Louise Jones,
Pem) and an actor suffering from
the delusion that he is Teddy Roo-
sevelt (George Jordan, Rock). The
conflict between the manager and
the interlopers, all of whom hope
to rewrite the show according to
their own ideas of good theater,
forms the subject of the plot.

The much-harrassed cast, how-
ever, manages to get in many of
its favorite songs, among which
are “Oklahoma!” “Bess, You Is
My Woman,” “Gabriel” and “Any-
thing Goes,” to be performed by a
women’s chorus of eight that shows
a striking resemblance to a fam-
iliar campus group. Dorothy Back-
us (Pem), Evalin Johnson, Patsy
Renwick and Al Mackey (all of
Merion) will have solo parts.

Sylvia Barrus and Nina Dubler,
joint directors of the show, prom-
ise that The Folies Bizarre will be
an evening of thorough entertain-
ment.

Tickets for the show may be
purchased for $1.00 from Mimi
Fernsler in Pem East, the Maids
Bureau in Taylor or at the door
Saturday night.



Priene, founded Mr. Cook believes,
by Mausolus, Satrap of Caria, who
was “the first barbarian to see that
the future lay in the Greek way
of life’. He forced his native Car-
ians to move to Greek cities, adopt
the Greek way of life, language,
and cults.

He was not alone in this, for
throughout Asia Minor “barbarians
were being brought within the
framework of the Greek world”.
This spread of Hellenism Mr. Cook
finds more interesting than the
more publicized conquests of Alex-
ander the Great, for this was a
“voluntary realization that the
Greek way was the best.”

Mr. Cook’s talk was sponsored by
the Department of Greek as a part
of the Horace White Memorial lec-
ture series.

Tower Will Speak

Pro Conservatives

Senator John G. Tower of Texas
will address the Bryn Mawr stu-
dent body on Thursday, April 26
at 4:30 p.m. in Goodhart Hall.

Mr. Tower was sworn in as
United States Senator on June 15,
1961, fillimg the seat vacated by
Senator Lyndon Johnson. Senator
Tower is the first Republican to be
elected to the Senate from Texas
since the Reconstruction and is the
only Republican Senator ever
elected by popular vote from any
of the former Confederate States.

Mr. Tower ran on a_ thoroughly
conservative platform, and accord-

to be the most conservative man
in the Senate today. Senator Tow-
er is assigned to two major Sen-
ate Committees: Banking and Cur-
rency and Labor and Public Wel-
fare. He has the distinction of be-
ing the first Senator ever to be
named to the influential Senate
Republican Policy Committee dur-

jing his first term.

Bryn Mawr, (Humphreysville)

Denotes “High

by Pixie Schieffelin

A person reading those two sac-
red words for the first time usually
comes up with “you’re a student
at Brine Moor?” You usually vacil-
late between being polite and be-
ing honest, smile apologetically
and answer, “Yes, I’m at Bryn
Mawr (pronounced correctly).”
Then you brighten up and add as
conclusive explanation, “It’s Welsh
for ‘high hill’!”

Welsh Names

The Welsh names at the college
(Pembroke, Radnor, Merion, Den-
bigh) and in the surrounding area
come either from the original Welsh
settlers, or from the Pennsylvania
Railroad which adopted Welsh
names for certain towns along the
Main Line.

In the seventeenth century Welsh
Quakers, who were unable to con-
form to the established religion at
home, secured from William Penn
a grant of 30,000 acres of land west
of the Schuylkill River. Penn, it
will be remembered, had received
the grant of Pennsylvania from
King Charles II in 1681 in pay-
ment of a debt the King owed to
Penn’s father, as some say. Others
have believed Charles did it to get
rid of the Quakers.

The early Welsh settlers named
their new homes after their old
homes in Wales: Haverford, Rad-
nor, Merion. Bryn Mawr, at this
point, was called Humphreysville,
after an early inhabitant, Thomas
Humphrey. Ardmore was named
Athensville.

Among the early Welsh settlers
were the Roberts’ of Roberts Road
and Roberts Hall, the Wynnes of
Wynnewood and the Lloyds.

Montgomery

The Welsh figure indirectly in
the naming of Montgomery County.
In 1784, a new county separated
from Philadelphia County. Nine
years previously in the Revolution-
ary War, an American general Ri-
chard Montgomery had made a
heroic attempt to capture Quebec
and had been killed. Montgomery
was the name chosen for the new
county and was acceptable to the
Welsh because it reminded them
of Montgomeryshire in Wales.

Montgomery Avenue, previously
called “Old Lancaster Road” had





Interfaith is now in the process of
planning two major activities. The
first of these is a four-day confer-
ence at Princeton from Thursday,
April 26 to Sunday afternoon, April
29. The topic will be “Integration:
Conscience in Crisis”, The Thurs-
day and Friday sessions will involve
films and lectures. The first day’s
talk will be given by Professor C.
Vann Woodward of Johns Hopkins
on “Segregation in Historical Per-
spective”, and Friday’s lecture by
Kyle Haselden, Managing Editor of
Chrisitan Century, will be “The Re-
sponse of the American Churches to
Integration.”

Interfaith is especially interested
in the Saturday and Sunday sessions.
Arrangements are begin made to
have dinner at Princeton Saturday
night, nad accommodations for an
overnight stay will be available.

Saturday afternoon W. Hodding
Carter, publisher of the Delta Dem-
ocrat, Greenville, Miss. and Thomas
R. Waring, publisher of The News-
Courier of Charleston, S. C. will
speak on “Integration: Social Evolu-
tion or Revolution?”

Saturday night the group will hear
two well-known people. G. Mennen
Williams, Under-Secretary of State
for African Affairs, will speak on



“Implications of American Segrega-



Interfaith Plans Develop

tion on the World Scene”, and Ar-
chibald Cox, Solicitor General of the
United States on “The Legal Aspect
of Integration.”

Sunday morning Rev. Martin Lu-
ther King will officiate at the Uni-
versity Chapel service. Sunday after-
noon, Profesor Arthur C, McGill of
the Princeton University Department
of Religion will close the conference
with a talk on “A Theological View
of Segregation.” More information
concerning the Princeton weekend
may be obtained from Nancy Culley,
Rock.

The Greek Orthodox Church of
Philadelphia has invited Interfaith
to their Easter Service this coming
Sunday, April 29. (Because the
Greek church has a different calen-
dar, Easter is a week later). The
service itself should be quite impres-
sive, and the priest has cordially in-
vited the group to remain after the
service and ask questions.

This is part of what is hoped will
be a more extended program of vis-
its to churches in the area, and at-
tendance at services. Transporta-
tion to next Sunday’s service, which
will be from 3 t 04 p.m., will be ar-
ranged according to the number of
the group. All those who are inter-
ested in attending should contact
Sydney Owen in Denbigh for further
information.



Hill” In Welsh

been an Indian trail from the Del-
aware to the Susquehanna River.
Lancaster Pike was laid out in the
late eighteenth century as a more
direct route between Lancaster and
Philadelphia, It was one of the
earliest turnpikes in the country.
There were 67 taverns en route so
one could have a “rest” every mile.

The precursor to the Pennsylva-
nia Railroad was the Columbia
Railroad, which ran from the city
to Lancaster and then to Columbia.
The tracks ran past Haverford Col-
lege, following the line which
Railroad Avenue takes today.

Two episodes on the railroad will
serve to illustrate how a Haver-
ford student hasn’t changed much
from the nineteenth century. Then,
too, they possessed the two qualities
of intellectual curiosity and utter
foolishness. On the one hand, when
Lincoln addressed the students on
a whistle stop campaign tour, they
flocked to hear him. On the other,
according to J. W. Townsend, au-
thor of The Old Main Line (writ-
ten in 1919) Haverford boys used
to stand on the footbridge over the
tracks and drop cats into the fun-
nelled shaped smokestacks of the
locomotives which were passing be-
low.

The area grew into a thriving
summer resort with numerous lively
boarding houses where descendants
of the original Welsh and newcom-
ers from the city met together.
Among the families were the
Sculls, the Yarnells, the Barclays
and the Lloyds. The largest board-
ing house was the White Wall
Hotel located opposite the present
Bryn Mawr Hospital; another was
the Wildgoss near Haverford Col-
lege.

The Railroad

In the 1860’s the Pennsylvania
Railroad began to plan its route
west. The Railroad Company de-
cided not to use the old Columbia
tracks because they were not in
the direct route and the right of
way was too expensive. Instead, it
bought up surrounding farm land
between Gulph Road and Roberts
Road and then divided the land into
restricted residential areas stipu-
lating that there should be no
stores, no stables, no “building for
any offensive occupation”. At the
time of the land purchase, the
President of the railroad was
George B. Roberts, a descendant
of the early Welsh settlers. Mr.
Roberts changed the town’s name
from Humphreysville to Bryn
Mawr. Bryn Mawr was the name
of a country thouse belonging to
Roland Ellis, and after him to
Charles Thomson. It had been the
name of his ancestor’s farm in
Wales. The house, now called Har-
riton, is on Morris Avenue.

When Joseph Taylor, a New
Jersey doctor who had made a for-
tune in the tanning business, de-
cided to start a Quaker college for
women, he chose the town of Bryn
Mawr because of its proximity to
Haverford. The highest point of
the surrounding area was selected
as the college site. The college
took its name from the town, and
thus Roland Ellis’ house, and is
appropriately called Bryn Mawr
or ‘High Hill’.

You do not have to explain the
story to everyone who mispro-
nounces Bryn Mawr—but be thank-
ful to the Welsh that you are not
a student at “Humphreysville’”!



Students’ parents are cordial-
ly invited to coffee and doughnuts
on May Day morning at 7:15
in the Common Room (while stu-
dents are at breakfast).

A Pro-Con Discussion: Should Teachers Strike?

Strike Betters ‘Image,’ Will Cause Revision of Law

by Ellen Rothberg, ’64

The central issue involved in the
New York City teachers’ strike of
April 11 was simply this: Should
teachers in the public employ have
the right to strike? The solution
to this question involves both an
interpretation of the teachers’ re-
lation to the Board of Education
and the governments of city and
state and a more general judgment
on the citizen’s right to violate a
law the considers unjust and un-
constitutional. As the daughter of
two New York City teachers and
a graduate of city public schools,
I favor the strike both as an asser-
tion of the teacher’s professional
dignity and as an attempt to has-
ten the establishment of more ef-
fective bargaining channels for
the public employe.

Behind the strike is, of course,
the issue of salary increases. The
starting salary for a teacher in
the city schools is $4,800-a year
as compared with about $5,300 for
teachers in communities just out-
side New York. In the city a
teacher with a doctor’s degree can
receive $9,450 after thirteen years
of service; maximum salary out-
side New York is $10,000, City
teachers also receive health insur-
ance coverage (they pay half of
it) and Social Security.

The demands of the United Fed-
eration of Teachers, recently cho-
sen the collective bargaining agent
for all city teachers, amounts to
an across-the-board raise of $700
a year for each teacher, putting
city teachers on a par with their
counterparts in suburban schools.
The UFT asked the Board of Edu-
cation for a $53 million salary
package. The Board of Education
tentatively offered $28 million. It
could not, however, promise to pro-
cure that or any other amount, as
the Board itself has no monetary
power but can only recommend al-
locations in the city budget.

Fred M. Hechinger commented,
in The New York Times, that “it
might make more sense for teach-
ers'and school board to bargain
on the same side of the table
against those who control the bud-
get,” that is, against the state gov-
ernment, which aids city educa-
tion, and the city government,
which controls the funds it
gets from the state, as well as its
own. Ideally the Board of Educa-
tion should champion the cause of
its teachers in the interests of a
better school system. As it has
allied itself with the government
rather than the teachers, the UFT
has been put in the position of
bargaining with an agency that
has no power even to carry out its
promises. The only way for the
UFT to enforce its demands was
to call a strike,

There are two reasons why some
teachers opposed the strike: Many
felt that striking was unprofes-
sional and showed a lack of dedi-
cation to the betterment of their
pupils. Others feared the invoca-
tion of the Condon-Wadlin Act,
which states that a public employe
who goes out on strike automatic-
ally loses his job and may be re-
hired only with a loss of tenure
and a three-year pay freeze.

I put the stigma of “unprofes-
sionalism,” attached by some to
the strike, on a par with the re-
mark of one teacher, who said she
would not join the UFT because
she “did not want to be in a union
with meat-packers and truck driv-
ers.” (The UFT is affiliated with
the AFL-CIO.) Most teachers
might like to be independently
wealthy; the fact is that they are
not. Like the meat-packers and
the truck drivers, they have to
earn a living. Yet the teachers are
not showing themselves to be mer-
cenary by demanding better sal-
aries. Rather they are asking that

their profession be recognized as

best preparation and firmest dedi-
cation of any. The fact that they
assert their rights through the
strike shows that they resent be-
ing considered public servants and
are eager to establish their inde-
pendence. As for professional dedi-
cation, the strike was, in fact,

aimed at allowing teachers to de-
dicate themselves completely to
their pedagogical functions with-
out having to worry about aug-
menting their income.

Perhaps the best way of judging

|



laws whose justice he doubts or
may pretend to doubt, but in the
case of the Condon-Wadlin law, the
teachers have high authority for
their “doubt.” The state leaders of
both major political parties have
declared themselves opposed to the
law, too, and have asserted that
their opposition is of long standing.
The New York City. teachers would
have been glad, as has been sug-
gested, to use other means of sec-
uring the Act’s alteration as well
as of bargaining for salary in-



“And I did all my homework last night.”

the effect of the strike upon the
teachers’ “image” is to observe the
reactions of the students them-
selves. At Stuyvesant High School,
a specialized school which chooses
its boys through a competitive ex-
amination, students cheered the
picketing teachers with cries of
‘Hold that line!” and reproached
those who reported to the school
for work. At my father’s school,
an “ordinary” high school, accept-
ing all students from its district,
students maintained discipline in
class desptie the fact taat about
80% of the teachers were absent.
During their free periods they
brought coffee and sandwiches to
their instructors and assured them
of their support. Two or three
schools reported incidents of stu-
dent rowdiness and vandalism, but
such occurrences are certainly at-
tributable to general lack of con-
trol rather than any meaningful
protest.

If fear of the application of the
Condon-Wadlin Act prevented some
teachers from joining the picket
lines or refusing to cross them,
the fear was evidently an un-
founded one. As Mayor Wagner,
Governor Rockefeller and the city
newspapers later pointed out, the
Act is so severe that its use would
hurt the educational system as
much as the teachers it was used
against. Had the Act been applied,
the 20,000 teachers who did not
report to work on April. 11 would
have been fired, depleting the city’s
teaching force by half. With teach-
er shortages already severe, the
system would have been maimed
almost beyond repair, especially
if the fired teachers had refused to
accept reinstatement with the pen-
alties imposed by the Act. Of
course, if the strike had not been
widespread, the Act might have
been used more “effectively.”

Beyond fearing unemployment,
however, many teachers refused
to strike because striking involved
a violation of state law. Here we
face the question of whether a
citizen can challenge a law he be-
lieves to be unjust. I, along with
many of the New York City teach-
ers, feel that he not only can but
must. Negroes. would still be
forced to attend separate schools,
would still be barred from “white”
places of entertainment and busi-
ness in every community in the
South if concerned citizens had not

questioned laws which they con- |:
sidered to be contrary to the prin- |.

ciples of American democracy. It
is dangerous, of course, to encour-

creases and better working condi-
tions. The fact is that they could
not find these other means, as they
had to direct their demands to an
agency which has no power to act
in accordance with them.

The teachers’ strike has had the
following effects: It has caused
Governor Rockefeller to urge a re-
view of the Condon-Wadlin Act
with an eye to changing it signi-
ficantly. It has caused the Gover-
nor and ‘Mayor Wagner to reach an
agreement on the way in which
state aid to education will pass to
the city and therefore to make more
money available for the salary in-
creases requested. It has shown the
teachers their own strength, and
it has shown the community their
determination to assert their rights

Strikers Disregard
by Carolyn Peck ’64

The basic principle underlying the
case against the teacher’s right to
strike is one which Secretary of La-
bor Goldberg endorses: “Diflerences
over salary should be resolved by
public employees through means oth-
er than strikes.” Defense of this
principle rests on two arguments.
The first is that teachers are public
employees.

Education is an area essential to
the nation’s well-being, and the so-
cial standards which are determined
by economic standards would suffer if
this field were a free market. Second-
ly, the strike is not against a private
firm but against the government
and, more broadly, the people. Since
the people pay taxes to support edu-
cation, the school teachers can’t
themselves be treated as a private
interest.

The strike can be opposed on the
same basis that President Kennedy
attacked the steel companies who
raised their prices in disregard of
the national interest. Today when
the Cold War has become so intense
and the competition between Russia
and the United States has become
foremost in many Americans’ minds,
our national defense is of paramount
importance; and our national de-
fense does not consist only in stock-
piling armaments. It consists of
competition in maintaining high
standards, in keeping up with and
oeing ahead of Russia. Good edu-
cation is tantamount to such stan-
dards and the teachers in New York
who went on strike acted contrary



and their dignity. The only dam-
age it has done has been to de-
prive city students of one day’s
instruction and to destroy the
myth that a teacher who asserts
his rights will be forsaken by his
colleagues and will lose his job.

With all this in the strike’s fav-
or, it is hard to see how anyone
can condemn it.



the Public interest

to the national interest.

Admittedly, inequities in educa-
tion do exist, but the strike was il-
legal. Even though the Condon-
Wadlin Act may be antiquated and
unreasonable, there are other means
in a free society to enact desired
revisions besides flagrant disregard
for the law. For instance, the law
could be revised through legislative
action.

The whole strike revolves around
a question of means. Some maintain
that the strike was the only effect-
ive means available and that the
teachers were “voiceless pawns.”
The strike was meant to enhance
their power position in collective
bargaining. The United Federation
of Teachers, however, was striking
against the Board of Education, a
fiscally dependent body with no pow-
er to determine the over-all amount
of money to be allotted for educa-
tional purposes. The strike was in-
effective since the Board was power-
less to grant the teachers’ requests.

Perhaps the strike as a power
move could be defended on the
grounds that it aroused public sup-
port behind the teachers and helped
to secure their demands. Although
the strike did bring the inequities
to the attention of the public, the
teachers incurred some disfavor in
the process. This unfavorable reac-
tion points out another paradox of
the strike: the professional stand-
ing of which teachers are so proud
is now being blurred by a new trade-
union image and no one can deny
the importance of such impressions
today. The UFT made its requests
in the name of a professional group,
while the strike was damaging the
very basis for such demands,

The strike was also unethical in
light of its disruptive effect on
classes and pupils. If one of the
main reasons for the strike was to
enlist public sympathy, this action
might have hurt the New York
teachers in their recent strike.
