Rise in Student Activities Fee
Topic of Undergrad Discussion

A proposed budget rise for
Undergrad, involving charging. a
$25 activities fee from all stu-
dents, and suggestions for chang-
ing the present election system
were among questions raised at
Monday night’s Undergrad meet-
ing,
open for further discussion.

A blanket Student Activities Fee,
following the Haverford model, was
suggested as a better way to raise
money than the present system of
dues and Undergrad Scholar con-
tributions spread over several
paydays. The $25 would probably
be billed over the summer.

This suggestion involves an ine
crease..of $10 from each student
which should ideally benefit every
student in some way. Popie Johns
pointed out that many Undergrad
expenditures are not widely known,
such as maintenance of the record
library, salaries for hall an-
nouncers and for the Lost and
Found manager, and halfthe trans-
portation to and from exchanges
and conferences. With a larger
budget, Undergrad plans to enable
more people to attend conferences
by paying a larger percentage of
the cost, and to help the Big Six
organizations get speakers more
easily,

In discussing the recent el-
ections Popie brought up a sug-
gestion for revisions inthe system
of tabulating ballots, although
Undergrad Vice-president Cabbs
Denton said that the present pro=-
cedure seems the least time-

Week of April 4
Planned for Visit
Of Eudora Welty

Eudora Welty will be visiting
Bryn Mawr the first week after
Spring Vacation, April 4 to April
8. She has been chosen by the
English Department to be a writer-
in-residence for the week and will
stay at the Deanery.

Miss Welty has been a con-
tributor to the SOUTHERN
REVIEW, ATLANTIC MONTHLY,
HARPER’S BAZAAR and THE NEW
YORKER. Among her works are:
A CURTAIN OF GREEN, THE
ROBBER BRIDEGROOM, THE
WIDE NET, DELTA WEDDING,
THE GOLDEN. APPLES, THE
PONDER HEART, and THE BRIDE
OF THE INNISFALLEN. Most of
these books. are set in her native
Mississippi.

During her stay at Bryn Mawr,
Miss Welty will meet with students
especially interested in writing.
She will also participate in Mr.
Leach’s experimental and ad-
vanced writing classes.

As another part of her visit,
Miss Welty will read aloud from
one of her stories to freshmen
who are studying her works in
their English classes.

Miss Welty was a Donnelley
Fellow at Bryn Mawr from 1958
to 1959. She has also received
awards from the American
Academy of Arts-and Letters,
including the William Dean Howells
-Medal for THE PONDER HEART
in 1955. - ip

Over Spring vacation she will
be attending a symposium on writ-
ing to be held at the Shipley
School.

both of which may be left

consuming, Some discussion dev-
eloped over the advisability of
fining non-voters in campus el-
ections; now all Undergrad and
Self-Gov elections are described
as ‘‘compulsory,’’ but this rule
has not been well enforced and
is often complicated by write-in
ballots improperly filled out and
so invalidated. The Executive

Council felt, however, that non-
compulsory elections would encou-
rage apathy.

Discussion of an amendment to
put vice-presidential candidates
on the dinner system, illegal under
the present Constitution, may be
brought up later. The Executive
Council then considered a sug-
gestion that the Big Six organiza-
tions themselves nominate their
best-qualified members for -of-
fices, rather than leave nomin-
ations open to the whole campus.
The Council agreed that qualified
losing candidates should at least
be encouraged to stay in active
posts in their organizations.

Hall suggestions about May Day
weekend were also discussed. Mrs.
Winther, ‘the College dietitian, has
offered to supply the food for the
Saturday night barbecue if she
receives a list of all Bryn Mawr
students attending.

American Marxist To Speak

On U.S. Negro Revolution

Dr. Herbert Aptheker, Director
of the American Institute for Marx-
ist Studies, will speak Monday,
March 21, on ‘*The Negro Move-
ment: Reform or Revolution?’’ The
speech is sponsored by Alliance
and will take place at 7:15 p.m.
in the Common Room.

Aptheker, who received degrees
from Columbia University, has
been active for 30 years in radi-
cal, socialist, anti-war struggles,
and the fight against racism in the
United States. He has produced
books dealing with U.S, History,
American Negro history, Ameri-
can foreign policy, and social
theory and philosophy. Among his

books are, A DOCUMENTARY HIS- .

TORY OF. -THE NEGRO PEOPLE
IN THE U.S, -and SOUL OF THE
REPUBLIC: THE NEGRO TODAY.
. Aptheker was. one of the found-
ing Editors of ‘‘Masses and Main-
stream’’ and was also Editor of

~



‘Political Affairs.’? He has been
a contributor to leading magazines
in the U.S, and abroad, and has
lectured at many universities
throughout the world,

Aptheker was a witness for the
Communist Party during the Mc-
Carthy period and a hostile wit-
ness before the House Un-Ameri-
‘can Activities Committee during
the McCarthy era.

He was awarded the History
Prize in 1939 by the Association
for the Study of Negro Life and
History. In 1946-7 he was awarded
a Guggenheim Fellowship.

’ Aptheker was a delegate to the
World Peaze Congresses in Tokyo

and Helsinki in 1961 and 1965, In.

December-January 1965-66 he or-
ganized a fact-finding mission to
the Democratic Republic of Viet-
nam and since then has spoken
personally and on radio and tele-
vision against the war.

‘Under Milk Wood’’ cast members practice before their unique sets.

levels for the action against a
backdrop with a tower and the
masts of boats vaguely shadowed
forth, The set thus encompasses
the whole of the little Welsh fish-
ing village of Llareggub, the whole
life of which the play takes as its
subject, and enables a wide variety
of scenes, whose proper locations
are indoors, outdoors, in the
dream-world of one asleep, to suc-
ceed one another rapidly without

manipulation of props and without

incongruity.

The members of the cast are
likewise being transformed, with
addition of costumes that add bright
and striking accessories -- hats,
shawls, scarves, even bloomers
-- to basic outfits of black, white,
and grey. The costumes, in (pos-
sibly jarring) contrast. to the set,
are very particular and detailed

e@in their suggestion of definite peri-
od and place.

The .cast have been further
transformed by their assignment
to specific parts, some to as many
as four. A background of nar-
rative and description is furnished
by the First and Second ‘‘Voices,”’
which will be those of Robert But-
man himself and of Gwen Aaron,
a Bryn Mawr grad student from
the town of Aberystwyth in Wales.
(These two are not the only non-
undergraduates actually partici-
pating in the performance, for Ha-
verford psychology professor
Thomas D’Andrea_ will provide
percussive accompaniment or in-
terjection at (hopefully) appropri-
ate -points.) The student members
of the cast are: Howard Bush,

“a Cool, Laurie Deutsch,

garet Edwards, David Elliott,
Felicia Folk, Peter Garretson,
Richard Gartner , Barbara Grant,
Nimet Habachy, Erica Hahn, Mun-
son Hicks, Chris Kobler, Lynne
Meadow, Priscilla Robbins, Liz

Schneider, Peter Scott, Chuck
Strang, Joachim von der Thusen,
and Andy Yen.’ ~ :

The time it takes to put on the
play represents the time from dark
to dark of a spring day in the
small Welsh fishing village of

Llareggub. This length of time is’

then divided up into different
rhythmical units and phrases by
all the different villagers. ‘*Under
Milk Wood’? is a musical piece:
the ‘*First Voice’? interjects at
one point, “The morning is all
singing,”’ and in fact, the whole
day is all singing. Music, the
natural music of the sea, of wind,
of birds, of growth and decay,
the human music of language, of
love and living, dreaming and
death, the artificial and all-

leat.

comprehending music of the poet’ s
vision, pervades everything.
There is one passage that may
be taken as a figure for the whole
play, a description of one room
and its contents, that may be taken

as a metaphorical account of the
larger space of the town and the
66 of its inhabitants -- living and
dead -- that Thomas c.uuses to
pass in review before us: the
passage in question describes the

kitchen of one Lord Cut-Glass
wherein 66 clocks ‘‘ping, strike,
tick, chime, and tock’? 66 different
times, ‘**His sixty-six singers,’’
the First Voice tells us, ‘fare all
set at different hours.” All of the
66 townspeople of Llareggub are,
in some sense, singers, and each
keeps his own .time, a time of
dream, day-dream, reminiscence,
reverie. And even as the various
songs of the uncoordinated clocks
are comprehended in the single
composition of the passage de-
scribing them, so inthe production
of the whole play must the seem-
ingly independent and disharmon-
ious ‘fsongs’’ of the characters
be subsumed in a symphonic unity
and their apparently eccentric and
devious wanderings across time be
revealed to participate ina general
human pattern,

This is indeed a play where
dissonant themes prove tc have an
essential harmony, where inadness

‘is revealed to be a super.or sort

of reason, but it must su’ely be
attended with disastrous con-
sequences if in the produ tion it
be sought ‘by indirectios (to)
find direction out.’’ For inssmuch
as we are here dealing with some-
thing closely akin to an orches-
trated musical composition, it is
essential that all the various in-
strumental parts be precisely co-

Election Change

The perennial problem of election of officers for Undergrad, Self-
Gov, and the Big Six is an essentially mathematical one: to find the
system by which the result obtained by adding the level of competence

of those elected, the extent of informed participationof the student body,
and the dégree of democracy of the proceedings is at a miximum. The
present round of elections, it seems, has servedto suggest to-a number
of people that the present system fails to meet this condition.

One proposal at Monday night’s Undergrad meeting was one for having
the membership of each organization exclusively responsible for nomi-
nating candidates for its own offices. Nominations would thus be made
by. persons intimately acquainted with the nature of the duties entailed
in the various positions, aware of the requisite qualities for success-
fully occupying them, and likely to have been able to evaluate and com-
pare various possible nominees through the experience of working with
them in the organizations concerned, likely too to know whether or not
a particular person is interested in running for a given office. This
change should serve to eliminate the rashes of declinings by girls
having no desire to hold the offices for which they have been nominated
and to ensure that the candidates be qualified and suited for the places
for which they are running. This is the theory behind the nomination
(and election) of the editorial board of the COLLEGE NEWS by the mem-
bers of the staff.

‘There are, however, certain inherent dangers in the nominating
mechanism proposed. For it*enables, even encourages, the formation
of entrenched, self-perpetuating power blocs in the various organiza-
tions and would virtually eliminate the possibility of a person’s ex-
perience in a position of responsibility in one organization being recog-
nized as valuable preparation for holding office in another body. There
is also the danger of adearth of candidates and a lack of real differences
among the contestants in the event of an organization having but few
members -- and these of essentially the same stamp -- able or willing
to run, but being unwilling to seek nominees from outside itself, from
outside the clique it has come to constitute.

We hope, nonetheless, that this and any other proposals for revision
will be seriously investigated in light of the frequent discontent with
the election system.

Point Counterpoint

The recent resurgence of the Conservative Clubis a healthy symptom
of balanced political activity on campus. Complete political awareness
cannot be achieved unless a range of views is available, and the return
of the conservatives provides a second pole for Bryn Mawr explorers.

‘Student involvement in current world affairs has increased this year,
but the voices heard all come from the same camp. Perhaps this
domination of the scene reflects a substantial majority opinion of the
student body, perhaps it does not. The salient point remains that these
voices do not echo a unanimous viewpoint.

After over a semester of silence, the conservative proponents are
now adding their counterpoint. Their ranks are small, but their limited
membership need not deprive them a role on campus.

At a time when the liberal forces call for a careful reconsideration
of administration policies, it is important that students be provided
with the means of conducting comparable personal investigations, An
opinion formed by the surrounding influence of a single group certainly
cannot be as satisfactory to the holder as one drawn from an examina-
tion of opposing aspects.

Whether the conservative ranks swell in the future or not, their
presence is in itself an indication to students that a second side exists
and is anxious to express ‘its position. The new voice runs the risk of
being drowned in the chorus, but we hope for the benefit of the college
that it will continue to contribute its share of valuable dissonance,

The Price is Right

Merion Hall will be open over spring vacation for students wishing
to stay on campus during that week, Each spring vacation over the past

three or four years, one of the smaller dorms has been open. Prior to.

this, the college made everyone leave campus, Some complained, So
the college opened one dorm and charged $3.50 a day for board and
room, People still complained. They said $3.50 was an outrageous
price, especially if one were staying inher own room and if she weren't
eating any meals there. So the Deanery and Grad Center were made
available, at $2.00 and $1.50 a night respectively, and without food.

This, it seems to us, should cover.everybody’s wants, The argument
that a student might be staying in her own room is specious, since it
is just chance that her dorm may be open while the others are closed.
The college certainly isn’t making any money on the deal. Keeping one

dorm open implies heat, power, and a full time staff. As Mrs, Whelihan.
pointed out, the staff can't be paid -just for the few tae Ser or if

‘ ‘they are required to’ stay for the full week.» ,

“The problem this year ‘seems to be lack of complete utente e

Some students didn’t know that it was possible to stay for less money
in the Deanery or Grad Center. As this is learned, it is hoped that each
student will find accommodations approximately to her liking, as well
as realize that, as Mrs, Whelihan has said, the college canhot my
on the whim of each student.

More on Money

To the Editor:.

Having served as treasurer of
Alliance this year, Iam wellaware
of the financial difficulties which
plague student activities, and am in
hearty agreement with your edi-

an increase in the Student Activity

to be a reasonable raise, and the
plan of billing students in August
is excellent, for the reasons you
mentioned,

The NEWS suggested several
concrete uses to which the money
could be put, and I think this is’
the best: basis on which to in-
crease the fee, Each organization

opportunity for making some money
on campus, so both clubs and
individuals would benefit, The sug-
gestion that departmental clubs be
put under Curriculum Committee
and be given a budget is a good
one, but some idea of how money
would be useful to these clubs is
necessary. I know that some de-
partments at least are very limited
in funds to having speakers, films,
or other activities to augment the
course offerings. If some of these

could be provided by departmental -

clubs, majors in the department
would benefit, and such activities
might further help give students
an idea of what a discipline in-
volves, without its being necessary
to take a course in the subject.

Perhaps most important, an in-

creased Student Activity Fee could

help to improve the quality of the |

programs which the organizations
are now sponsoring, Instead of hav-
ing to rely on speakers from the
Philadelphia area, experts could be
invited from farther away. The
most exciting speaker on some
topic may not happen to live in the
region of the mid-Atlantic states.
So, an increase in the fee could
provide several more activities
which students might want, andalso
improve the quality of the present

ones,

- Model U.N. Assembly Vetoes
Membership For Red Chinese

by Dianne Portelance, '69

More than 900 students from 105
colleges and universities particip-
ated in the 39th Annual National
Model General Assembly in New

York March 10-13.

The members of the BMC dele-
gation, representing India, were
delegation
chairman and on the Special Pol-
itical Committee; Brenda Peabody,
Economic Committee; Julia Kelly,
Social and Humanitarian Com-
mittee; Hilary Hosmer, Colonial
Committee; and Madeline Maxwell,

Dianne Portelance,

Legal Committee.

The first meeting was a plenary
session Thursday afternoon at the

United Nations, where Mr. Chap-
ravarthi V. Narasimlian, Under-

secretary and Chef de Cabinet of

U Thant, spoke to the group about
‘he Uy -N,. After 21° Years,’’
Mr.

Charter revisions and that the

U, N, cannot take effective action

in many cases (South Africa, for
instance)-because of its obligation
to stay out of the internal affairs
of countries,

He then went on to discuss
the problem of U. N. Peace For-
ces, which tend to keep the status
quo, because ‘‘after the U, N,
has quieted a crisis, the desire
for a solution seems to cease.’’
Finally, he stated that ‘many times
it is not the Charter that is weak,

‘but the will of nations.’’ There-
fore, the greatest achievement the
U, N. could make would be to
teach nations ‘‘to live by the rules
of international law.’’

The remainder of the four days
was divided among committee, bloc
and plenary sessions at the Statler
Hilton, where BMC, as the repre-
sentative of India, found itself
most involved trying to pass re-
solutions to seat the Peoples’ Re-
public of China and to prevent a
plebisite in Kashmir. The latter
move was completely successful,
while the former came within three
votes of the necessary two-thirds
majority. Among other questions

Christian Scientist

‘‘Who Is Your Maker?’’ is the
title of a Christian Science lecture
to be given by Interfaith and Chris-
tain Science Organization speaker
Herbert E. Rieke, C. S. B., of In-
dianapolis. The lecture will take

place in the Biology Lecture Room —

April 4th at 8:30 p.m.

Mr. Rieke iS a graduate of
Northwestern University. He ser-
ved during World War II as an
Army Air Corps Chaplain in India,

“North Africa, and Italy; receiving

a bronze star for distinguished

service. An authorized teacher of
Christian Science, Mr. Rieke is
a member of the church’s Board
of Lectureship. .

Narasimlian admitted that
there could probably be no major

discussed were outer space, dis-
armament and apartheid in South
Africa and Southern Rhodesia..
Other. events included a meeting
Thursday with Mr. S. K. Singh

of the Indian delegations to the ~

U., N., a banquet at Fordham Uni-
versity and a party arranged by
Mr. Singh for us with various
members of the U, N..Secretariat,
Legal Committee and Peace
Forces,

The four days ended too quickly
leaving the delegation resolved to
return next year and have Red
China seated. Plans are currently
being made to send a much larger
delegation, perhaps a combined
Haverford-Bryn Mawr group, re-
presenting more than one country
in order to influence severalblocs.
People interested should contact

English Contests

Miss Stapleton, Mrs. Berwind,
and Mr. Leach will serve on the
committee to select the prize-
winning poems for the awards of
the American Academy of Poets
and the Bain-Swiggett Prize.

Manuscripts are due at the
President’s office by 4 p.m. April
6. Students wishing to enter both
competitions may submit only one
set of poems, since the same
committee will judge both con-
tests,

what he called a ‘‘closed society’’

Former Assistant

To Miss Mc Bride
ToHead Alumnae

Mrs. Margaret Tyler Paul,
former assistant to Miss McBride,
is the only candidate for the post
of Alumnae Director for the term
of office, 1966 to 1671.

A member of the class of 1922,
Mrs. Paul is now living in Phila-
delphia. She retired from her post
as assistant to the president in
1964, This job, now held by Mrs,
Katherine Whelihan, was created
for Mrs, Paul by Miss McBride,
**because of her great understand-
ing of the college and of the
alumnae and their present needs,’’
The job required that she be versed
in practically everything from
planting trees to the organization
of the Board of Directors.

She also collected many of M.
Carey Thomas’ papers, and put
them in the newly established Col-
lege Archives. She. worked ‘with
the Deanery, the Friends of the
Library and the Friends of Music.

At the Class of 1922 Fortieth
Reunion, she was particularly hon-
ored by the setting aside of a
large part of her class fund for
the establishment of the Margaret
Tyler Paul Scholarship.

‘Cold War Conference’

Is Organized For April

A meeting took place Sunday to
discuss plans for a ‘‘Cold War
Conference.’’ set for April 16
on the Bryn Mawr campus. All
plans are not definite, but the
schedule for the day has been
prepared. ™

The morning session will consist
of a general discussion on the
nature of communism, and a panel
discussion dealing with the econ-
omy, ideology. and new forms of
communism. The general discus-
sion will cover the historical as-
pects of communism.

The afternoon will be divided
into two groups of seminars. The
first half will deal with commun-
ism in specific areas, and will

t

f cover aspects of communism in

China, Latin America, Eastern
and Western Europe, Africa, and
Southeast Asia.

The second group will probab
involve discussions of NATO,
SEATO, the Alliance for Progress,
the impact of communism and the
reactions of:the western world.
There will be an examination of
the theory of the ideology of con-
tainment of Dulles, as well. as of
the policy and diplomacy of Presi-
dent Johnson. :

There will be reading on re-
serve as preparation for those

interested in participating in this
«Cold War Conference,’’ which
is being sponsored by Alliance.

phasizing the free and ‘‘abstract’’
nature of the ‘‘open’’ society but
much more emphasizing the mutual
and collective responsibilities of
citizens of a state to each other,
actually asserting the prior impor -
tance of society, with a ‘‘purpose
to attune human affairs to the will
of God,’’ although only a few ‘‘un-
derstand its ends .... the populace,
participates in its truth as far as
it Gan,””

Censorship, he seemed to feel,
would be justified against any ele-
ment threatening to undermine the
basis of society by denying the
rule ofpsociety by ‘reason’? --
*‘to allow passion to arise in any
sphere is to assert the private
over the public,’’ but complete
abolition of public discussion also
leads to a_ kind of rule denying
the common or ‘‘public’’ nature
of civic life: tyranny. Limited
censorship, however, begins with
the very ‘‘disciplining the mind’’
of the young toward the ideals of
the society.

He admitted that censorship has
in the past often been “‘stupid,’’
but he cited as examples of what
could ’ *‘prudently’*’ be “censored
movies (unfortunately under what
must have been the,wrong titles)
which offend certain religious
groups and hence divide society,
and especially any work of art,
commercial, and so on ‘‘appealing
to naked paSsion--’’ whether it
did or not being determined by
*treasonable’’ discussion (he dis-
misses any group which might be
offended at the removal of Anita
Ekberg from a billboard as just
‘‘corrupt’’). He sees possible mis-
takes--but ‘‘we’d have to do the
best we can... public order must
rest on a certain trust.’’

Certainly Mr. McArthur is a
confirmed rationalist, and except

Alumnae Counci

for this he ‘seems awfully uncon-
servative. A member of the Inter-
collegiate Society of Individualists
should not necessarily be expected
to attack individualism as a situa-
tion of ‘‘each pursuing his own
ends ... losing sight of the per-
fectibility’’ of society. It is hard
to see how a communist or even
a_middle-of-the-roader could ob- .
ject to his assertion that some
censorship is necessary for pro-
tection against anti-social ele-
ments, .

Co-Chairmen of the Conserva-
tive Club Cathy Sims and Sue
Rotroff said that they were pri-
marily interested in presenting
the ‘‘philosophy behind conserva-
tism,’’ not in provoking fights
with the rest of Bryn Mawr or
“reacting to ‘the Social Action
Committee.’’ Helen Meeks, presi-
dent of the Rosemont Conserva-
tive Club, several members of
which were present, added that
her organization aimed at pre-
senting all sides of political ques-
tions--since ‘“‘the teachers are
all liberal and don’t know what
the other side is.’? Hence the
groups association with the educa-
tion-oriented ISI.

Both Co-Chairmen have? in fact
insisted that, except perhaps by
Bryn Mawr standards, they are
not evenparticularly conservative:
they dislike the poverty program,
but they weren’t extremely fond
of Barry, and they find their great -
est problem in finding activities
which wil attract an audience of
more than belligerents and curi-
osity seekers, ‘‘We’re not a play-
ground for everyone to come and
fight.’’ they said, although they
may invite Fulton Lewis III, pro-
ducer of the pro-HUAC film
‘Operation Abolition,’’ as a last
concession to the fighters.

They knit or do needlework.
They plan. They raise money.
They’re a fantastically energetic
group (more energetic in fact than
the more numerous Vassar and
Smith alumnae), The Alumnae
Council I attended last weekend
was utterly astounding. There was
never a quiet moment, for when
organized activity ceased for a
minute I was besieged with ques-
tions: ‘‘Are the students active
in the world or have they climbed
that ivory tower?” ‘*How do the

**Do students still iron their hair?’’

Haverford Schedules Teach-In
With Exiles From South Africa

Alan Raphael of Haverford’s
Social Action Committee an-
nounced that Haverford will host
a teach-in on. South Africa in
Roberts’ Hall Saturday, March 19.

The program is in memory of

the 79 people who were killed in

the Sharpeville Massacre March
21, 1960, It is in conjunction with
other conferences and demon-
strations in other U. S. cities.

The program will begin at 1:00
p.m. and will continue all after-
noon, So far, four South African
exiles have agreed to speak, and
Raphael is expecting a few more.
Mr. Harold Chapman, who spoke
during the fast, will be back to
speak ‘on ‘U.S, Economic In-
volvement in South Africa.’’ He
is.a_lecturer at the University
of Pennsylvania.

Mr. David Ovedoff,, a physician
living in Bryn Mawr, will speak
on an unannounced topic. He left

Johannesburg three years ago, Two
students at Lincoln University will
also be speaking, one on _ the
“Secret Police and the Liberation
Movement.”’

The actual number of speakers
will not be known until this week-
end. There is a--conference in
Washington at the same time, in-
volving the American Committee
on Africa, which is drawing many
of the potential speakers to DC,
There are also problems with
transportation for the Lincoln stu-
dents. ‘

If someone cannot come to ex-
plain the recent United Auto
Workers statement on the eco-
nomic situation in South Africa
Raphael says he intends to rend

it. himself. He feels that the whole.

affair.will be very informal, con-
sidering the amount' of time he has
put into it. It will continue as
long as people are able to stay.

liam Gaud, Deputy Administrator
of the Agency for International
Development, reported his re-

search on how the name of our '

college was decided. A certain
Mr. Evans, a descendant of the
Welsh family which first built a
farm called Bryn Mawr, talked
to the president of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad and suggested that
the railroad stop be named Bryn
Mawr. The town was later named
Bryn Mawr and finally our college.

Miss McBride spoke of the pres-
ent ‘‘realms of possibility’ for
building, as Erdman and the ad-
dition to the library; for the faculty,
in more opportunities for research
but not for lighter teaching loads;
and for students, in scholarships
which .bring in a wider range of
students, thus broadening the asso-
ciations of those within the college,

Gwen Aaron, the president of
the Graduate School, spoke on the
lack of unity in the Graduate
Center, its undesirable separation
from the undergraduates and its
potential as a community which
has shown no real benefit to the
school as yet.

Mrs. Foster, the new dean of
the Graduate School, talked on
‘what a Good Graduate School
Can Mean to a Student.’’

As a. member of the senior class
however, I was most excited at
Saturday’s program ‘*Who’s Afraid
of the Educated Woman?’”? The
problem facing the educated wom-
an, anxious to work or teach and
at the same time raise a family,
the role of the educated woman
in.our society ‘was -approached
from... every. angle imaginable,
Hopefully the Senior class_ will
have a chance to hear a tape of
the session when the alumnae en-
tertain us at dinner this spring.

Junior Year Abroad Students
Correspond With Sedentaries

The following excerpts were
taken from letters written to
friends by three students
participating in junior year
abroad programs. + Ed, |

Kathy Grossman - France

Not only is it the end of the
month,” and thereforé ‘about™ that
time to write, but this was also
the day of our conference with
Francois Mauriac, which I really
want to tell you about. We prepared
for his coming for about three
weeks, reading five of his novels
and having about nine hours of
lectures on them -- all in ad-
dition to our six other courses!

So much of what he’s written
is so depressing and negative that
we were sure he’d be quite a
nasty little old man (80 yr. old).
He came to arswer our questions
in our regular classroom -- a
cozy comfy affair to which a num-
ber of French students had also
been invited. The whole thing
turned out to be really fun, he
being quite sharp, charming, in-
teresting, and interested, and we
being amazingly relaxed.

And already we have started
preparing for our next confer-
ence given by disciples of
Le Corbusier \on December 12!

Penny Milbauver - Germany

I’m finding German students a
revelation, after twoyears of study
in America. For one thing they
are older. That means they con-
centrate immediately inthe major.
Such gee-gaws as football teams,
frat parties etc. etc. don’t mark
the life of the student. Yes, there
are fencing fraternities and parties
etc. but they definitely do not
characterize the ‘‘campus,’’ of
which one cannot speak, since the
12,000 students live all over the
city, as well as in the Siedlung
(settlement), the way an American
campus has a character.

Although .there was a_ student
demonstration in Munich vs.
America in Vietnam, most Ger-
mans whom I’ve questioned feel
America is the only power in the
world that can successfully battle
against the threat of communism,
which they think is definitely at
stake in SE Asia.

I guess too many of them have
seen or have experienced
themselves communism and its
effects and definitely feel that
where there’s smoke there’s fire.
As a matter of fact, the communist
party has been outlawed in the
Bundesrepublik (West Germany)
since 1956.

* * *
Ryna Appleton - Italy

I’m taking Baroque and Renais-
sance Art (at the University of
‘ Rome), Italian Literature (doing
special work on Pirandello), studio
art, Modern Italian History.

The parts of Rome that I enjoy
most are the quiet, old back
streets -- their crooked pave-
ments, the grand dark palazzos
with their black, sculptured iron
grills; the occasional lamps, the
cats that dart in and out, eyes
gleaming. The silence of the city,
underlined by a certain inexplic-
able musical tension, falling water,
rustling stars.

I love the poor quarters--
Trastever, .the old ghetto; vivace,
streets lined with .vegatable and
flower vendors; clumpy, brown
glad housewives gesturing, carry-
ing naked chickens in red string

' bags -- whole pigs hanging head-

down on meat~ hooks, little fat
pork legs awkwardly sprawled --
the Tiber, dark, passionate, pro-
found river.

As for the young people, due
to their education and way of life,
where a young pérson doesn’t live
on his own until he marries, they
are not ‘‘engagées’? as are the
young French, German, English
and American students; there are
no discussion groups, no political
organizations or-clubs.*”

Of course there are young in-
tellectuals but most'of them are
attracted to the communist party
(which resembles no other com-
munist party in the world) where
they find most avant garde
thinkers,

J. Anderson
Chem Book

Seven girls, at present scattered
across the country, are sharing a
surprise when they open a copy
of MATHEMATICS FOR QUAN-=
TUM CHEMISTRY. Following the
imposing title is a simple ded-
ication -- ‘With the fondest of
memories, to my first class:
Barbara, Candy, Ellen, Lynne,
Marcia, Roberta, and Rowena,’’

The author is Assistant Pro-
fessor Jay Martin Anderson of
Bryn Mawr’s Chemistry Depart-
ment, and his seven muses are
all chemistry majors with whom
he passed three~ semesters of
physical chemistry.

Described by Mr. Anderson as
a supplement for texts in quantum
mechanics, the book is his first
and was started in January, 1965,
Part of the material included
comes from the author’s class-
room experiences with the girls.

Mr. Anderson mentioned the
need for a short book designed for
students with only one or one and
a half years of college math who
must perform quantum math ata
moderately sophisticated level.
Although a number of larger texts
include similar material, they are
now becoming out of date.

Six of the seven honored are

members of the class of 1965:

to Mawrters

Ellen Halpern, Marcia Patton,
Roberta Yaffe, and Rowena Lich-
tenstein, Lynne Lackenbach pre-
sently a senior, is the only mem-
ber of:+ the group still at Bryn
Mawr. None of the girls knew
about the dedication before its
appearance; Mr. Anderson is not
certain that all the girls have
yet discovered it. !

Mr, Anderson reports that the
dedication has provoked startled
responses from large univer-
sities, where readers are amazed
at the existence of a class of
that size in which the professor
knows his students by first name,

Classes this fall used the text
in mimeographed form before
January publication, but Mr, An-
derson is hesitant about assigning
his book to future pupils. ‘*You
put your best into the book,’ he
said; ‘*you might as well stand in
front of the class and read it
aloud.’’

Mr. Anderson is already at work
on a new book incollaboration with
Jeanne Kann Krieger, ‘66. The
notes she is taking at present on
quantum mechanics will become
the nucleus of a more extensive
text on quantum chemistry. There
is at yet no word on the dedi-
cation, but chemistry students are
advised to remain alert.

ordinated by superior conducting,

In a production where. 18 stu-
dents represent 66 characters ina
succession of brief appearances on
the stage, a meticulous attention
to technical details is essential,
The deceptively simple-seeming
business of entrances and exits be-
comes a matter at once \com-
plicated and crucial when an actor
must be maneuvered off the stage
to reappear a couple of minutes
later in another rele. The co-
‘ordination of the lighting with the
numerous scene shifts is likewise
exceedingly difficult and ex-
ceptionally important here. It thus
seems most unfortunate that the
mechanics of getting on and off
(or off and on) the stage are being
improvised only now in the final
stages of rehearsal, And it seems
likewise unfortunate that the light-
ing schedule was revised in this
final week and after the technical
rehearsal.

Not only the timing of entrances
and exits, but that of the speech,
is important here. In the delivery
of these essentially poetic lines
there are all the dangers inherent
in any recitation of poetry -- and
more, for the time of the play is
carried forward by the rhythm and
breaks in rhythm of the speech.
Observing one of the earlier re-
hearsals, this reporter watched

with various combinations of con-
sonant and vowel sounds, Unfortun-
ately, however, it seemsthat there
has not been sufficient preparation
time for each person individually
to attain a feeling for the thing.
Since this is not a production that
can be carried by one or two good
performers, but rather one in which
virtually every person’s contribu-
tion weighs as heavily as every
other person’s and in which the
manner of their blending and cor-
relating is of paramount impor-
tance, it becomes imperative that
the director fulfill something of the
function of an orchestra’s con-
ductor and strictly: govern the
tempo of the delivery.

Once again, were the rehearsal
period longer, it might be possible
for each member of the cast in-
dividually, at his or her own rate,
to develop a ‘‘feeling for Thomas,”’
a facility for seizing the full sense
of his lines and passages. In the
actual situation, however, since it
is essential that the contributions
of all the cast contribute positively
to the whole effect and spirit, it
is fervently to be hoped that the
director will, by the time of the
scheduled performances, have
given his actors and actresses
some more -specific interpretive

‘ direction.

up the pledge sheets; we would
like to know which charities you
would like to support. Ten or-
ganizations will be chosen; each
student may give what she wishes
to none, any, or all of these
ten, It will also be possible to
give to a charity not included on
the list. ~

Which organizations should we
support? Remember that some rely
more on student aid than others.
We should give to charities whose
work and goals we think to be of
prime importance. Please help us
to decide. Some suggestions: 1)
LOCAL» Funds for the maids and
porters, for the Bryn Mawr-Haver-
ford summer Serendipity Camp.
The Philadelphia General Hospital.
The. Center for Older People.
Projects in poor areas in Phila-
delphia or on the Main Line. The

- American Friends Service Com-

mittee. 2) NATIONAL. The Negro
Students Scholarship Fund. The
Northern Students Movement. The
American Mental Health Associa-
tion. American Cancer Society.
3) INTERNATIONAL, The Inter-
national Rescue League, for child-
ren (we could give specifically
to Vietnamese children). The
Crisis Fund for Vietnamese Child-
ren. Ship Hope. World University
Students. Care: we could specify
that our donation be used for a

out over all odds that it seemed
sacrilege not to reprint it today.

Mr. Becker ocasiondlly writes
of a lady friend of his who fancies
herself a bridge player. There
are many bad players in this
world, but Sylvia is something |
special. She makes mistakes that
are not only improbable, but ab-
solutely impossible.

Nevertheless, Sylvia has what
might be called a saving grace.
Every once in a while she dreams
up some exotic bid or play that
works like a charm anddevastates
the opposition.

In this particular hand, Sylvia
was sitting East, defending against
a perfectly straightforward three
no trump contract. Her partner, a
fellow by. the name of Kelly, led
out his king of hearts, and when
this held, followed it with the queen.
The queen also held, so he led
still a third heart.

The question of whether Sylvia
should discard a club or a spade
suddenly became academic when
she calmly and_unhesitatingly
dropped her singleton ace of dia-
monds on the heart trick.

At this point Kelly lived up to
his name. His face turned bright
green, and shortly thereafter, a
livid purple. In his chivalrous
‘attempt to avoid shouting ata lady,
all the colors of the rainbow slowly
paraded across his face. As Mr.
Becker describes it, ‘‘his mouth
kept opening and closing as if,
he were trying to say something --
but no words came out. He was
struck, speechless,’’

Play of the hand was ever.tually
completed, all the while in dead
silence. Luckfly South had only
eight tricks and: was down one on ~
the contract. ee

Oh-yes, one more thing: if Sylvia
had made any other discard, South
wouid have made four no trump.

Yale Mixer Full of Surprises
For BMC and Charlie the Cop

by Cookie Poplin

Anyone with enough enthusiasm
to get up 6 o’clock Sunday morning
might have seen a strange and
pathetic sight--at the doors of each
dorm a small shivering band of
girls stumbling over the steps and
blinking sleepily in the blue-gray
fog of early morning,

These were the triumphant ad-
venturers returnedfrom Yale, try-
ing to figure out some ingenious
scheme for getting back into the
nice warm dorm and a soft bed:
It is strange to travel 200 miles
and be stopped at your own front
door.

The Yale trip, in fact, was full
of strange experiences. For one
thing, none of the accidents an-
ticipated on the way up occurred--
no flat tires, no breakdowns, no
one left behind in the restaurant,
Thus the 30-odd girls arrived in
front -of the service entrance of
Davenport College an hour early.
Like’“good scouts, however, Yale
men are always prepared, and the
girls were escorted back through.

house to a most elegant cocktail
party with the swim team from
Leverett House, Harvard Univer-
sity. The Harvard boys accepted

the girls happily as part of the.

unrivaled hospitality of Yale.

About an hour later the Bryn
Mawr girls went on to the main
commons room and dining room,
exchangjng the Harvard swimmers
for genuine Yalies and the charm-
ing intimacy of the cocktail party
for a really lavish dinner, com-
plete with a chef carving roast
beef in the high-ceilinged, candle-
lit dining room and music playing
somewhat less than softly in the
background,

At 8:30 the mixer . began in
earnest and..to the surprise of
several freshmen who were rely-
ing complacently on assurances
that at Yale the ratio was always
five to one (boys to girls), huge
groups of girls converged on
Davenport from all over the east-
ern coast (as far south as New
Jersey, as far north as western

Massachusetts). 1nose who did not
meet boys could meet long lost
girl friends.

Nevertheless from all outward
appearances the mixer was a suc-
cess, despite the fact that some
girls somehow managed to lose
both bus and bus driver at the
end and made friends with the

standing waiting in the snow (it
is still winter in New Haven),

This is an adventure every girl
should try at least once.

Sign - Up System for Weekends
Has Varied Reaction in Dorms

Sign-up lists for meals eaten
away from the college over the
weekend have been successful in
some halls and useless or non-
existant in others,

In Pembroke, the sign-ups have
worked very’ well. According to
Miss Ferguson, the hall manager,
knowing the number of girls ab-
sent in the dining room has allow=
ed her to keep one table unset,
thus relieving a maid from duty.
Although food is ordered too far
in advance for the sign-up list to
have any effect, the amount of
food cooked and served can be
regulated by considering how many
students will be at the meal. Thus
excess food can be used instead
of wasted. Miss Ferguson will
continue to put up lists until spring
vacation, when she can evaluate
the system.

Mrs. Black, the hall manager
in Erdman, feels sign-ups have
been very helpful in giving her
information she can use in planning

But whether or not the audience

In Majority Of Meets This Year

of points and quick motions of a
fencer who looks as if she’s fighting
for her life. Any girl on the Bryn
Mawr fencing squad can guarantee
that,

There are three different
weapons which can be used for
fencing, but women limit them-
selves to using foils because there
is a limited target area (the torso)
and only the tip of the point is
used to score, The epée
and sabre weapons are accome-
panied by much rougher fighting
with no limited target and slashing
allowed, But even with foils things
can get rough, and our fencers
have broken many a blade in a
meet,

The Bryn Mawr Varsity gen-
erally has a winning record and
was undefeated this year until
it lost to Jersey City State Sat-
urday; March 12, by a score of
3 to 6. The J. V, kept its unde-
feated record and won 5 to 4 at
Jersey City. June Boey, captain,
said that Bryn Mawr fenced the
best it had this year in that meet,
but Jersey City was just a‘ little
bit better,
