Five New Grants
Provide Expenses
Of Foreign Study

Five newly established scholar-
ships will provide opportunities for
Bryn Mawr _ students to study
abroad during the summer and
after graduation,

The friends and family of Fran-

. ces Day Lukens have established

two grants of $600 each to be
awarded to a student of History of
Art and to a student of History.
The History of Art grant will be
awarded to a Senior or Junior Art
History major -- preferably an
Honors candidate -- who needs to
study abroad during the summer
and who is also interested in
language study.

Amos Peasley has established
a fund of $25,000 in honor of
Thomas Rayburn White, the income
from which will be used for
modern language study abroad,
Recipients need not be language
majors, and may study in Latin
America as well-as in Europe, In
the first year two awards of $600
apiece will be made to language
students; subsequent awards will
depend on the income from the
original fund.

A grant of $50,000 has been
made by the Thorncraft Fund at the
request of Geoffrey and Helen de
Freitas of Cambridge, England, ‘to.
establish a scholarship for a Bryn
Mawr graduate who wants tospend
approximately six months.studying
or teaching in one of the Common-
wealth or former Commonwealth
countries of Africa. By the terms
of the gift the recipient is re-
quested to spend two weeks at the
beginning of her scholarship in
England in order to be ‘‘in touch
with the British Council and other
educational or cultural institutions
which have experience in the de-

‘velopment of educational institu-

tions in Commonwealth Africa,
and whenever possible with Sir
Geoffrey and Lady de Freitas, as
well”...

Hopefully, Miss McBride will
be able to announce the recipients
of these awards on May Day. —

Undergrad, and president of the
sophomore class. Galen Clark,
Ann Stehney, Sue Nosco, Andrea
Marks, Ann Platt, and Lola At-
wood were nominated for second
Self-Gov sophomore; Mary Little,
Barbara Mann, Barbara’ Oppen-
heim, and Liz Thacher will run
for Traditions Chairman; Janet
Kole, Judy Masur, Jeanney Miller,
Myra Skluth, and Carolyn Ferris
will compete for Publicity Chair-
man; and- Drewdie Gilpin, Galen
Clark, Ruth Gais, Barbara Mann
and Sue Nosco are candidates for
Sophomore class president. Re-
sults in the voting in these class

_plections should be known Thurs-

day night.

Bardack Selected
Danforth Scholar

Emily Bardack, Class of °65,
was awarded a Danforth Graduate
Fellowship for advanced study for
the Ph.D. degree. The Fellowship
provides tuition and living expenses
for four years of study inprepara-
tion for a career of college teach-
ing. .
Emily plans to work for a Ph.D,
in History of Art, with Modern Art
possibly as her field. She will
probably earn it at Columbia, and
willthen teach,

The Fellowships ,are designed
to encourage outstanding college
graduates who have selected col-
lege teaching as a career and to
help meet the critical national need
for competent and dedicated col-
lege instructors,

The Danforth Foundation has
also established conferences and
summer encampments, which pro-
vide an. opportunity for nominees
to meet with people in their own
and other fields,

Plans Parents Day Program

A cémmittee of faculty mem-
bers and undergraduates has
planned the Parents Day program
(Saturday, April 10, from 9:30
am, to 5 p.m.) to give parents
of Bryn Mawrters a chance to
meet faculty and administration
and to glimpse both the creative
endeavors and the everyday lives
of their progeny.

The day’s activities will begin
at a coffee with members of the
faculty in the Common Room, Cof-
fee will alsobe served in the Music
Room, where parents of Freshmen
will have an opportunity to meet
members of the administration.

President McBride will speak
at an assembly at 11:30 in Good-
hart Hall.

Lunch will be at 12:30; there

will be a luncheon for seniors and

their parents in Wyndham.

In the afternoon, parents. will
be able to turn student themselves
and attend any of a-dozen lectures
presented by members of the facul-
ty at 2. These faculty lectures will
include: ‘*Chaucer’s Supreme Vir-

tue,’’ given by Robert B, Burlin,:

Assistant Professor of English;
“The American Balance of Pay-
ment,’’ Richard B, DuBoff, As-
sistant Professor of Economics;

Ferrater Mora, Professor of
Philosophy; ‘‘Some New Advances
in Biology,’’ Mary S, Gardiner,
Class of 1897 Professor of Biology;
“The Study of Animal Intel-
ligence,’’ Richard C, Gonzalez,





The ‘*Best Dressed’’ on a bear rug. GLAMOUR apparently liked
the effect since they named Kitty Ellis a semi-finalist on
Wednesday. Just one more hurdle to go...



Tiger Flees College Theater Tank:
Van Gogh to Provide New Earful

by Erica Hahn -

The College Theatre will not be
presenting Murray Schisgall’s THE
TIGER March 19 or March 20,
Like most recent plays, it has
been copyrighted to the last punc-
tuation mark, ‘*No production, pub-
lic reading, recitation, etc. of this
play may be given without the
author’s’ or his agent’s permis-
sion.”?

The College . Theatre cannot
secure the author’s or his agent’s
periission, since Eli Wallach and’



Anne Jackson, who originally did
the play off-Broadway, are plan-
ning to take the play on tour and
*¢mature in their parts’? in the
summer of 1966.

So no group, amateur or pro-
fessional, within 25 miles of a
major city, is allowed to give
any form of a production of THE
TYPISTS and THE TIGER. The
ban includes the combined talents
of one Bryn Mawrter and two
Haverford students, Rich Gartner,
Rick Bready and Erica Hahn,

Heurtebise (John Werke) flies as the Talking Horse (Mayianne
Emerson) looks on admiringly, in a scene from ORPHEE. Jane
Robbins is directing the College Theater production of Cocteau’ s
drama asa ‘‘monochromatic surrealist dream."”

z oa

On the quiet and peaceful morn-
ing of March 12, one week before
the first scheduled performance,
Director Gartner receiyed the let-
ter of bad tidings. After several
hours of general hysteria, New
York was called in an effort to
explain that there is really no
threat to Miss Jackson and Mr,
Wallach,

New York was not appeased,
although it could not remember
the name of the major city this
production was not more than 25
miles away from, Thence began
the search for a play. At 9 o’clock
that evening, the cheerless three
met in Goodhart to begin rehear-
sal for James Bridie’s THE EAR
OF VINCENT VAN GOGH, a one
and a half page farce which is
being directed by Robert Butman,

Although shortening the sched-
uled program considerably, this
rather brief work must be co-
ordinated in one very brief week,

Final casting places Rich as
Gaugin, Rick as Van Gogh (because
he has more vulnerable ears),
and Erica as a peasant woman,

THE PUBLIC EYE and ORP-
HEE will also be given Friday
and Saturday night at Goodhart.
Performances begin each evening
at 8:30, Tickets are on sale ngw
for. $1350, with poeciel.- student

-rates at $1.00,

Resources,’’ Edward H, Watson,
Professor of Geology.

The non-academic side of life
at Bryn Mawr will be shown in a
program of ‘‘Extra-Curricula’’ in
Goodhart at 3:30. The show will
feature excerpts from student pro-
ductions.

Another opportunity to see stu-
dent creativity will be provided
by an exhibit of student art and
photography in the Roost, to be

open throughout the day,

Parents will also have ample op-
portunity to tour the campus, and
guides will be posted in places
such as the science building to
show them around and answer
questions,

The Parents Day Committee
which is planning all these activi-
ties consists of three faculty mem-
bers, Chairman Morton S, Baratz
(Associate Professor of Econo-
mics), Mary Maples Dunn (Assis-
tant Professor of History), and
George L, Zimmerman (Profes-
sor of Chemistry), and under-

graduate representatives from
each class,

Progress

The past few weeks have seen fresh outbursts of activ'ty, non-violent
and violent as well, on the civil rights front. Brutalities in Selma,
marches in Montgomery, and protests in Philadelphia have filled the
front pages of the daily press, Even TIME magazine got into the act,
with two cover stories in as many months on Martin Luther King and
his activities in the fight for voter registration. -

But it appeared, at least for a time, that amidst all the violence, the
beatings and the sit-ins, that something had been lost. The drive for
civil rights has been garnering an abundance of publicity, but in many
instances it seemed to be of the wrong kind, The Rey. Reeb’s and Jimmie
Jackson’s deaths were tragedies in the fullest sense of the word, but the
emphasis was too often placed upon the violence itself, rather than
upon the cause which engendered: it.

This was true even on the Bryn Mawr campus, At the memorial last
Friday for the Rev. Reeb, the participants and many of the listeners
kept the spirit inwhich the meetingwas called. But a disturbing minority,
not the most innocent of whom were ardent agitators, seemed to treat
the gathering as an excuse to promote more violent action, forgetting
that the meeting was not a rally but a memorial to a man who died
cruelly and neediessly. There is a time and a place for all things.

Fortunately the tide appears now to be swinging back towards the
spirit and purpose in which the ‘‘Second American Revolution’? was
born. President Johnson’s message to Congress Monday night points
the way for prompt and effective Federal action on the’problem of
voter rights. The proposed bill would help to ensure the franchise of
voters in the five Southern states where Negroes have been systematical-
ly excluded from the polls for 100 years. It is not a panacea that will
immediately cure all the problems ailing U.S, civil liberties, but it is
definitely a step in the right direction.

Auto-Harping

This semester saw, with great delight, the mobilization of Bryn Mawr.
With the advent of the new driving rule, students gloried in a long awaited
victory over the isolation of a suburban college. It’s all over, even the
shouting, and the hard-earned privilege is now subject to the same in-
difference and ignorance that torment other léss precious statutes.

Since the start of the spring term, few cars have been registered
according to the official procedure. There are, however, obviously
many new vehicles in residence. No one knows whether the owners
of these cars fulfill the requirements for keeping cars on campus.
Perhaps not even the owners themselves.

These new arrivals, besides not properly announcing themselves,
totally ignore the parking regulations formulated to prevent campus’
congestion, Cars crowd Rhoads driveway, blocking the road, Cars
occupy spaces reserved for the faculty, inconveniencing professors.
Students seem oblivious of the stipulations attached to the privilege
of keeping a car -- stipulations designed only to forestall bothersome
traffic and parking problems on a small campus.

The driving rule benefits only the student body. If its regulations
are heeded, it will disturb no one and add to the comfort of many.
When, however, students show themselves eager to use a privilege
without accepting the attached responsibility, the result is chaos
and nuisance for the entire college. ‘

Any students who now have cars on campus or plan to bring them
should investigate the provisions of the driving rule, Their-vehicles
must be registered; parking restrictions must be followed. Continued
indifference to the driving rule is the first step back to the local.

Undergarble

Complaints on Louis Kahn's lecture Monday’ night have been ringing
loudly on the Bryn Mawr campus ever since, with occasional compli-
ments nearly lost in the din,

The criticism has been directed almost without exception at Mr. Kahn,
and we wonder if this is entirely fair. Students who wanted to hear about
Erdman were disappointed, as, for that matter, were students beyond the
first five rows who wanted to hear at all.

Whatever other faults the lecture may have had, however, these two
may be attributed as much to Undergrad as to Mr. Kahn. We are not
suggesting that Undergrad attempt to issue a topic to its Eminent
Speakers, but in a case such as this, where matters of a particular
interest to Bryn Mawr students are involved, a hint of that interest
would have been helpful to everyone concerned.

As for the’ sound problem in Goodhart, Undergrad would be wise to
warn prospective speakers emphatically of the difficulties, although we
must admit, they faced a formidable prospect in Mr, Kahn -- who likes

to speak off the cuff and, thus, off the stage.

| LETTERS | Johnson’s Selma Policy
Excites Action in Philly

Uh...

To the Editor:

I only wanted to offer a word
of praise to the Freshman class
officers for their: magnificent
handling of class meetings. As
an example to those classes which
precede us and those which shall
follow, here is a brief sample
of the phenomenal organization of
these meetings:

--President-Well, uh, we have a lot
to do here (in 15 minutes) we
have to nominate all of next
year’s officers. Here is, uh,
uh, Mary, no, Jane, no uh, the
chairman of the Sophomore flea
swatting ’er I mean bee beating
committee to tell us about her

office.
--Committee Chairman - To

handle this office well you must
be brilliant, hard-working,
charming, well-talented and fun-
ny. Anyone who takes it has the
simple responsibility of running
the school. It’s fun,.

--Pres.-Oh, Good! Nominations?
(no response)

--Voice from the crowd-Haver-
ford Harry!

--Secretary-How do you spell Har="~

ry-with or without the ‘‘i’’?

--Pres.-Send out the nominees
(room empties). Now let’s talk
about them.

--Voice from the crowd- That is
my roommate,
--Pres.-Thank-you Well, we have
time for nominations for five
more offices, but. perhaps we
should limit the nominations.
We do have to vote preferen-
tially. All in favor of limiting
the nominations to 55 per office

please wink.

--Sec.-Have you all signed that
attendance list? (a resounding,
unanimous NO! and the room
clears) Wonderful! This is the
sort of thing the college really
needs. More such organization
and we should move gn at neck-
breaking speeds.

An admiring Freshman

Why

To the Editor:

As many times as acivil righter
goes out on a picket line or sit-in,
yea as many times doth someone
ask him, ‘*Why, oh why do you do
that, because it is not only in-
effective, but also alienates
people?”’

I, not speaking necessarily for
anyone else, picket and sit-in be-
cause I detest the situation in the
society that allows Negroes - or
anyone - to be treated inhumanly.
These peaceful demonstrations are
one of few effective ways of gather-
ing the numbers who feel as I do,
to publish our beliefs tothe public.
Writing to the President does not
ensure that anyone else will know
what I feel.

An effective demonstration is a
highly planned affair; It is no lucky
chance that 10,000 people showed
up at City Hall on Monday, or that
60 students were willing to sleep
in at Independence Hall,

The other reason I demonstrate
is so the next day I can readin the
NEW YORK TIMES that Philadel-
phia students slept under the
Liberty Bell as a protest against
Johnson’s inaction in Alabama, as
did people in 12 other cities, The
overall accumulated numbers in-
volved in the demonstrations serve
to let people know that we think
everything is not all sweetness, If
no one protested, the Selma
violence might have passed by un-
noticed as it did for many years,
But no longer. Johnson notices
when 15,000 people march in tiny
Selma, Alabama.

And I no longer worry about
alienating those people who shrink
from this emotional demonstration
of political feeling. They must
resign themselves to its inevitable
use = because it has been proven
‘effective, 4

by Marion Scoon

Protest actions against John-
son’s treatment of the violence in
Selma, Alabama March 7 stirred
demonstrations * in Philadelphia
this past week.

The Federal Building was the
target of a joint CORE, SNCC
and Penn NAACP demonstration
last Thursday, Pickets marched
around :carrying such signs as

**Help, Johnson!’’, ‘*Send Federal .

Voter Registrars to Alabama”’ and
**Freedom NOW.” One sign had
read ‘‘JFK - Send Federal Troops
to Alabama’’; its owner had the
“JFK” covered for reuse now.
Sit-ins sat in until 5 p.m., closing
time, when deputized detectives

Atty. Mark Lane,
Oswald Defender,
Returns to H ford

Mark Lane, the attorney who
has. continued to plead in Lee
Harvey Oswald’s defense since

President Kennedy’s assassination

in 1963, gave a repeat performance
at Haverford Friday afternoon.

The crux of Lane’s presentation
seems to be that Oswald was not
the only person involved in the
assassination, if.indeed he was in-
volved at all, Out of 259 persons
present at the shooting, ‘Lane
claimed that 91 said the shots
came from behind a fence
positioned in front of the Presi-
dent’s car.

Thirteen. of these witnesses
profess to have seen puffs of smoke
rising from the far side of the
ae and a schoolteacher and a
photographer standing by the fence
said the shots came from over their
heads. ‘

Various other points of Lane’s
argument, although not convincing,
were at least thought-provoking.
For evamnle, Lane said the nation-
ally-published photo of Oswald
posing with the murder weapon
somehow was falsified, in that the
head was superimposed on the
body. The shadows on the face and
the shadows of the body are fall-
ing in different directions; he
pointed out.

Lane told that the son.ef one of
the, Warren Commission’s main
witnesses said his mother was a
pathological liar. The attorney also
attempted to refute anumber of the
Commission’s tests and calcula-
tions as to the possibility of the
accuracy of the shots,

Two Win Grants
For ‘Experiment’

Summer Program

Two Bryn Mawr'students, Les-
lie Hiles and Betsy Kreeger, will
participate in the Experiment in
International Living this summer,

The Experiment is based on the
idea that the best way to promote
peace is to gain understanding of
foreign people through living with
them. Participants live with fam-
ilies in their country and are
expected to learn the customs of
the people and to eat their food,
and, in turn, to be able to answer
questions about America,

Leslie, a junior, will be in
India, where she will live with
two different families and spend
a week traveling around the
country.

Betsy, a freshman, will go to
Italy to live for four weeks with
an Italian family and then spend
five weeks traveling around the
country, accompanied by a mem-
ber of the family, with-a group of
other Experiment participants.
The sight-seeing tour will climax
in a visit to Rome.

carried them out bodily. Paddy
wagons were ever in sight, but no
one was arrested.

Independence Hall was the scene
of continuous picketing and sitting-
in from Friday through Sunday, Co-
ordinated for Penn NAACP by Ro-
bert Brand, a sophomore at Penn,
the demonstration included CORE,
SNCC, students from Cheyney Col-
lege, Bryn Mawr SAC and adults.
One Mawrter slept in,

Girl Scouts, a youth orchestra,
plus numerous tourists were met
with pickets and people sitting
around the Liberty Bell, Students
handed out leaflets and offered
a petition requesting enforcement
of the right to assembly, and to
register and vote,

Twenty-eight students slept in-
side the Hall Friday and Saturday
nights to dramatize the urgency
of Federal action in Wallace’s
Alabama, The number was chosen
for lack of space, although 60 were
eager to participate in this
dramatic form of protest.

In the ‘small hours of Sunday
morning, the sleepers-in revised
a statement to be read at 2 p.m.
Sunday to demonstrators assem-
bled outside for a memorial as-
sembly for the martyred Rev.
Reeb:

¢¢... when Johnson attacks the
right ‘to. protest ... he attacks
democracy ...’? read Brand. He
ended by calling for larger demon-
strations in Washington.

‘The problem, as seen by the
protesters, is one of enforcement
of existing legislation, not new
legislation.”’

Ten thousand marchers sang
and carried signs around City Hall
Monday. Cecil Moore, head of
Phila. NAACP, addressed them.

- A~ student burned a confederate

flag, a symbol of Negroes’ denial
of freedom for so many years.

U. S, Attorney General Katzen- -

Fine Conducting, Alert Chorus Antigone:
Mark Bach Mass In B Minor

by Anne Loygren

Fine conducting and an alert,

‘enthusiastic Haverford-Sarah
Lawrence chorus provided the
backbone for last weekend’s per-
formance of J.S, Bach’s Mass in
B Minor. William Reese of
Haverford conducted the combined
choruses of Sarah Lawrence Col-
lege, the Shipley School and Ha-
verford in Saturday and Sunday
concerts.

The Haverford-Sarah Lawrence
chorus, which sang most of the
choral parts, responded precisely
and sensitively to Mr, -Reese’s
direction. Their attacks on the
numerous and often difficult fugal
entrances were generally good.
Only in the “‘Et Resurrexit’’ did
shaky entrances seriously mar
the. performance. In most other
places, notably the ‘‘Crucifixus’’
and ‘‘Confiteor’? the group
responded with the precision
necessary to Bach.

Mr. Reese’s use of the full
chorus was both well considered
and effective. In the ‘‘Et Expecto’?®
and the ‘*Sanctus and Pleni Sunt
Coeli®? the large chorus gave the
performance a dynamic fullness,
while the smaller chorus was left
to handle the difficult fugal en-
trances.

The eye contact between this
chorus and the director was
generally good, and only in the
final chorus ‘*Dona Nobis Pacem”
did the full chorus seem to drag
slightly behind the direction,

The solo work was, onthe whole,
competent but undistinguished, The
orchestra sometimes overpowered
the voice in the soprano-alto duet,

Friends of Music

Present Tuesday
N.Y. Pro Musica

The Friends of Music will pre-
sent the New York Pro Musica,
performers of Medieval, Renais-
sance and Baroque Music, at Good-
hart Hall Tuesday, March 23, at
8:30 p.m.

The group, conducted by Noah
Greenberg, has recorded for Decca
records. One of its unique qualities
is its use of rare instruments in
the renaissance style, connoting
sound division into loud and soft
groupings. The’instruments them-
selves include a Rauschpfeife,
Viole Da Gamba, Veille, Krumm-

recorders.

The program will place its em-
phasis onthe music of Flanders and
Burgundy. It also will include
pieces by Gulliaume Dufay, Jos-
quin. des Prez ahd Johannes
Ockeghem. Dufay is noted for his
‘¢sweet, new Burgundian style --
one which provokes delicate sen-
sual delight, plying the ear with
crystalline structures, rich
sonorities and graceful, florid
counterpoints.’’? Most famous of his
works: to be performed here are
his kyrie ‘Orbis Factor’? chant
and the Gloria **Ad Modum tubae’’®
which is reminiscent of the Italian
Renaissance. Other pieces include
*tCraindre vous,’ *‘Vostre bruit’’
and **Ave Regina coelorum.’’

Johannes Ockeghem was per-
haps the chief composer of the 15th
century. His works are chiefly
Gregorian chants in the ‘‘mysti-
cal fervor of the North.’? The
group will present his Missa ‘Sine
Nomine,’”? a concise three move-
ment Mass and the motet ‘‘Alma
redemptous Mater.’’ The third
composer -to be performed is
Josquin des Prez, one of whose
major works, ‘‘Nymphes des
Bois,’’ is part of a Requiem to
Ockeghem. Des Prez is noted for
his songs (chansons) in a wide
variety of forms. .

and the balance and intonation be-
tween the two voices occasionally
faltered, Despite the problems in
balance, however, this perform-
ance was generally enjoyable.

The tenor solo was a disap-
pointment, The well executed flute
solo contributed the only truly

commendable part of that number. .

Fred Jones, baritone, provided
the most accomplished solo work
in his **Et in Spiritum Sanctum
Dominum,’’ Mr. Jones and the
orchestra maintained a fine balance
and complemented each other in
dynamics and phrasing.

Dynamics, on the whole, were
a noticeably good feature of the
performance, Dynamic transitions
between the ‘*Crucifixus’”’ and ‘‘Et
Resurrexit’”? and ‘‘Confiteor’’ and
**Et Expecto’”’ were artistically
and precisely executed and lent a
great deal tothe overall excellence
of the performance,

This review is based on the

Successful Production

Barring Melodramatic Overtones

- by Pilar Richardson

Tonight marks the opening night
of the Philadelphia Drama Guild’s
English presentation of Anouilh’s
ANTIGONE, If last night’s press
preview was any indication, the
show promises to be good,

Perhaps the most interesting
aspect of, the play is that it is set
in modern times. The production
is still powerful although it has
lost, in translation, the aspect of
a play written during World War
II that defends France against the
Nazis and the Vichy Government.

Strange as it may seem, theplay
was done in modern dress, Creon’s
white tie and tails added to the
dignity of the part,-if for no other
reason than the fact that theywere
dashing. However, the sight of Is-
mene clacking off stage in four inch
gold lamé heels was appalling,

ANTIGONE'- was __ successful
because of its inherent vitality.
The acting was good, but in places
the actors were guilty of over-
acting. The Chorus at one point
made a speech distinguishing
melodrama from tragedy; un-
fortunately the actors did not al-
ways make the same distinction.

There were times when one

Sleighton Farms
Welcomes League
At Folksong Fest

by Nancy Bradeen, '65

Would they know any folk-songs
at all, and would they listen long
enough to learn them? What if
they act inattentive or worse, jeer?
After all, they’re delinquents who

have broken the law in who knows |

how many ways. Would they scorn
the **do-good’’ mission and drown
out the guitars?

These are some thoughts that
went through the minds of the
six girls visiting Sleighton Farms,
(Yvonne Baginsky, Ruth Barth,
Naney Bradeen, Linda Emroch,
Julie Patton, and Debbie Rice),
while’ nervously preparing two
folk-singing programs, Happily,
the fears proved groundless,

Both times approximately twen-
ty-five residents of this home for
delinquent girls responded en-
thusiastically to leadership in folk
songs and spirituals. The 9 o’clock
curfew came too soon for both the
Sleighton Farms girls and the
Bryn Mawr volunteers,

The girls at Sleighton Farms ob-
viously welcome this Monday night
entertainment, They are perhaps
a little too well-behaved from a
Bryn Mawr point of view, since
they MUST sit on chairs and wear
shoes!

They listen, learn, and sing
for a little over an hour with
occasional outbursts about their
preference in songs. So far there
has been little opportunity for
informal talking with individuals,
though banter occurs throughout
the evening.

League hopes to continue these
visits to Sleighton Farms, for
folk-singing or other activities.
Only three girls have gone each
time, although at least sevencould
attend. We leave at 7 and return
by 9:30.

If you are interested, please
contact Nancy Bradeen, Pem West.

We have a program this coming }
Monday, -March -22, iss

ing of a life. An observer can
become as acquainted with this
life as with a person. Each time
he views it, he should find re-
newed interest, plus a sense of
seeing it for the first time.

Art must be made by man, not
nature. According to Mr. Kahn,
“*fone does not imitate nature, one
learns from it.’’

Creativity is motivated not by
laws but by inspirations. The first
of these, the inspiration to express,
comes from a will to express what
is fundamentally unmeasurable, A
work of art remains always un-
measurable,

The artist follows the inspiration
to live and to question. The final
job of an architect combines all

. these inspirations,

An artist is born with the
‘‘what,’? not the ‘*how’” of crea-
tion. His life is a struggle to master
the best techniques for his expres-
sion.

Mr. Kahn briefly related his gen-
eral comments on art tothe speci-
fics ofarchitecture. He described a
building under construction. as
having an anxiety to exist.

It is often impossible to deter-
mine the value of a building for
a long time after its completion
-- it must be lived with and con-
sidered,

A building must be judged by
certain demands of art and man’s
institutions. If its spaces are not
in natural light, it is not worthy
of the name building.

The various threads of Mr.
Kahn’s talk on art were drawn
together in- his comments onorder.
A sense of established order for
architecture is not found in nature
but. must still obey its laws. This
final order is expressible in’rules
that the architect must follow.

Unfortunately, this clarification
of architecture was followed by an
interminable series of slides sup-
posedly illustrating the principles
of Mr. Kahn’s talk,

The diversified and specific ex-
amples seemed, for this layman, to
cloud the central points of an
otherwise enlightening lecture.

wished that Antigone would speak
with acid dignity instead of
virtually screaming at Creon. In
st. doing, she made the role of
Antigone seem more that of an
excitable and stubborn girl who
insisted upon living in her own
little world, rather than a young
woman who felt the power of the
gods and the importance of her
own moral purpose,

However, Richard Maloy, who
portrayed Creon, retained the dig-
nity of his role throughout the pro-
duction. Even without the aid ofthe
program notes, one couldtell from
his acting that he was an ex-
perienced actor and had an ex-
tremely accurate understand-
ing of his part. Mr. Maloy inter-
preted Creon as a man who had
to face the problems of relative
good and the task of creating orde’
in the state at all costs. Thus
the sympathies of the audience lay

with Creon’s view of life and not
with the moral idealism of Anti-
gone, Had she been less fanatic
and more idealistic, perhaps one
would have been more in favor of
personal honor regardless of the
consequences,

Michael Burke, who played the
part of the guard, was extremely
funny and acted well. One could
easily sympathize with the police-
man whose attitude was ‘Look
lady, don’t blame me, I’m just
doing my job.’’

In all, the fault of the produc-
tion lay in the interpretation of the
play; someone had failed to make
the distinction between the dignity
of tragedy and over-done melo-
drama, However, the message of
the play, contrasting the moral
purpose of the individual to the con-
cept of relative good necessary to
creaté order in the state, was

clearly indicated.

McBride Speaks to Sigma Xi
On Science and Federal Aid

President McBride lectured to

’ the Sigma Xi meeting last Tuesday,

March 16, on*‘Science and Federal
Support.’”? The speech was a pro-
gress report on federally sup-
ported scientific research and edu-
cational programs in colleges ‘and
universities.

In tracing the history of federal
support of the sciences, she began
at the 1950 congressional discus-
sions onthe National Science Foun-
dation and whether or not the
government should be actively in-



volved in education, At that time,

though, it was circumvented slight-_

ly by phrasing ‘‘education’’ in
terms of ‘“‘curriculum changes.”’
This was accepted and the PSSC
physics course which many stu-
dents probably took in high school
was the result.

The general trend since then
has been for the government to
recognize that the various uni-
versities are not able to finance
the many projects its professors
wish to undertake, Seeing this
Situation again and again has
caused government to contribute
increasingly large amounts of
grant money to such projects. The
greater availability of grant money
has in turn caused a problem in
the universities by sometimes de-
emphasizing teaching assignments
as it emphasizes research,

The federal government is con-
tributing to science. because it is

aware. of the need for a strong
technological and scientific base .
for’ society to grow both socially
and economically. Scientific de-
velopment is invaluable in such
governmental projects as agri-
culture, public health, space
probes, and the miliary organi-
zation,

These things are agreed on; the
dissention arises over how much

“money should be allocated to each

area, and in what way it should
be allocated. For instance, Con-

' gress worries when too much

money goes to one specific geo-
graphical area, while the scientists
on the advisory agencies worry
when not enough money is going
to areas of recognized talent, re-
gardless oftheir geographic place-
ment, Also there are difficulties
in terminology, which show up as
budgetary problems in distinguish-
ing between “development” and
‘tbasic research,” and ‘re-
search” and “‘education.”’

The speech ended with the inter-
esting possibility of whether or
not the government would be willing
to launch into supporting the
humanities under a National Hu-
manities Foundation similar tothe
National Science Foundation, Per-
haps a letter to one’s Congress-
man is called for here, although
Miss McBride did doubt whether
such a measure could pass Con-
gress this session.

Careers in Children’s Mental Health ~BMC Team Places Ath of 15
Subject of Workshop for Students

by Susan Kemble, '68
On Saturday, March 13, Lois
Neiman, Diane Sampson, and I

spent the day at the Devereux |

School, residential treatment
center for 850 retarded and emo-
tionally disturbed children, under
the auspices of their annual Career
Day Workshop.

The 60 college participants in-
cluded students from Bryn Mawr,
Haverford, Swarthmore, Ursinus,
Immaculata, Franklin and Mar-
shall, and Dickinson colleges.

We walked through the class-
rooms, which included areas for
arts and crafts, home economics,
typing, and regular schooling. In
the gym, we saw a photographic
display of Devereux’ history,
growth, and present activities,
which range. from a few children
in Devon in 1912 to more than
1000 in schools inCalifornia, Tex-
as, Devon and a camp in Maine
today. .

We attended a morning panel
discussion on ‘‘Careers in Child-
hood Mental Health’? by a psy-
social worker, . and
educator, each of whom gave a
brief description of his profession,
the training involved, and working
conditions of the graduate. The

same team, with the addition of a-

psychiatrist and unit supervisor
gave -a demonstration of a/case
conference on an actual Devereux
student.

Plimmer, a graduate of Oxford

Their school principal ‘explained
some of the special methods used
to help them, suchas having all
the windows high above eye level
to combat their extreme excitabil-
ity and hyperactivity and helpthem
to concentrate and «increase their
attention spans,

The children were friendly and
affectionate, wanting to know who
we ‘were and how we liked their
school (of which they seemed very
proud). They quickly utilized the
boys for piggy-back rides and al-
together proved endearing.

Lois’ group visited the residence
unit of a group of older emotion-

‘ally disturbed boys, while Diane’s

group toured a large block of units
for both disturbed adolescents and
older retarded students:

Their groups did not see as
many of the children here as ours
had, both because the presence of
visitors is upsetting for the emo-
tionally disturbed and because
many were involved in daily ac-
tivities elsewhere.

At 4 p.m., we thanked our hosts
and left, glad to have had a chance
for an inside glimpse into the only
school of its kind in the country,
one .which, by the signs of its
rapid growth in the past 50 years
and the increasing national recog-
nition for its excellence in child-
hood mental health is well worth
knowing and supporting.

Anyone interested in the various
jobs open to college students for
future summers (this summer’s
positions are all filled), please
watch the bulletin boards in the
halls and Taylor or contact Ruth
Levy, who worked at Devereux last
summer, or one of us.
