Avignon, Madrid Programs
Offer Expanded Curricula

Again this year, Bryn Mawr
College in miniature will move to
Europe for the summer study pro-
grams, Centro de Estudios His-
panicos en Madrid, June 22-Aug.
13, and Institut d’Etudes Fran-
caises d’Avignon, June 14 - July
27.

, Under the auspices of Bryn Mawr

College, both programs are in-
tensely academic and designed for
selected undergraduate and grad-
uate students-with serious inter-
est in the language, literature
and civilization of the réspective
countries.

The faculties of both the Centro
and the Institut include professors
from colleges and universities of
the United States and Europe who
are acquainted with lecture - dis-
cussion techniques and the stand-
ards of American higher education.

The Centro, directed by Phyllis
Turnbull, assistant professor of
Spanish and adviser, to foreign
students, will offer courses in
Spanish stylistics, literature, eco-
nomics, art, philosophy and re-
search methods.

One of the most important fea-
tures of the Centro is the direct
‘contact the students experience
* with major personalities in fields
such as art, music, literature, eco-
nomics and.jaw, both on campus
and during visits to spots of out-
standing cultural significance such
as the Prado, the Museum ofMod-
ern Art and Toledo. ‘s

A major innovation in the 1968
curriculum will be a course offer-
ing a six-week series featuring two
novelists, two poets and two dra-
matists who will discuss the tech-
niques, construction, inspiration
and reasoning involved in their own
works. Students will select two
of the authors and write a term
paper with the aid of the authors

New Left Critic
Speaks to BMC

Arthur Waskow, journalist,
«ritic and spokesman for the New
Left, will spend Thursday, Dec-
ember 7, at Bryn Mawr in an
effort to acquaint. the students
with the policies of the New Left
and the attempts to form a co-
hesive organization out of this
political movement. Mr.. Waskow
will. speak both to a Senior Po-
litical Science CompC onference in
the afternoon and at an open
meeting at 7:30 in the living room
in Erdman, under the auspices of
Alliance.

Mr. Waskow has written many
books, including FROM RACE
RIOT TO SIT-IN; he has contri-
buted to the LIBERAL PAPERS,
a collection of essays on the new
politics; and has published a series
of articles for THE NEW YORKER,
He is a fellow for the Institute of
Policy Studies and was one of
the first New Leftists to become
involved in the effort to create
a viable leftist movement to work
with the Black Power movement.

The National C onference for New
Politics, with which Mr. ‘Waskow



is affiliated, is attempting to de- —

velop a national co-ordinating
organization for the anti-war and
civil rights-Black Power move-
ments. The purpose of the New
Left, according to New Politics

themselves. “

Directed by Michel Guggenheim,
chairman of the French depart-
ment, the Institut will offer gen-
eral and advanced ‘courses in
French language, literature, his-
tory and sociology. The curricu-
lum is designed to provide definite
‘progress in fluency, comprehen-
sion and writing and to establish
an understanding of modern
France and an appreciation of
French culture. -
New courses for the 1968 Institut
include ‘*Problemes de Struc-
ture Sociale Francaise,’’ ‘‘Le Sur-
realisme’’ and ‘‘La Nouvelle Cri-
tique.’?’

In both programs students will
live with families to provide the
best basis for developing language
fluency and an understanding ofthe
country’s life and customs.

Admission is open to any college
student with high academic stand-
ing and the equivalent of three
years of college Spanish or French.
The co-ed programs are designed
as serious intellectual exper-
iences, not summer vacations.

Additional information can be
obtained by contacting the director
of the respective program. Appli-
cations must be submitted by
March 1, 1968.

Frosh Choose Eros
As Class President

The class of ’71 became full-
fledged members of the college
community on November 20, when
they elected officers for the re-
remainder of the academic year.
Freshman president is Jean Eros,
succeeding herself as temporary
president. Laura Hershey was
voted vice-president, and Deborah
Swirsky, secretary.

Setting a precedent for future
freshman elections, the office-
seekers met their electorate in
a round of after-dinner dis-
cussions. The girls were not
permitted to campaign in any way;
there were no speeches of qualif-
ication nor any ‘traditional plat-
forms. The purpose of the visits
was simply to acquaint the class
with their candidates.

Resistance Week Hits Philadelphia;

Confrontation of Draft,War to Occur

There has been peace work
carried on this fall by various
groups, based in neighborhoods
and on campuses in the Phila-

‘delphia area. Resistance to

’ the wor and the draft will be

spotlighted and unified ona
city-wide basis next week,
which has been designated
Resistance Week all over the
country. ‘

On Monday, December 4th, young
men from Philadelphia will return’
their draft cards at 8 p.m, in the
Germantown Community Presby-
terian Church at Greene and Tul-
pehocken Streets, The evening will
take the form of a Quaker meet-
ing, with those turning in their
cards and those present speaking
when they feel moved, Bryn Mawr
will mail its support statement
for draft resistance to the U.S,
Attorney General at this time,

Wednesday, December 6th, at
6:30 a.m, tifere will be a dem-
onstration at the induction center
at 401 North Broad Street. Some
demonstrators may commit civil
disobedience; others will stand
by in support.

Haverford Social Action Commit-
tees, Leafletting at nearby
churches on Sunday, December
10th will also-occur.

The upcoming week will be a
coming together of the widely dif-
ferent groups -- high school and
college students, professors, cler-
gy, Graft counsellors and draft
resistors, and women for peace
among others -- who oppose the
draft and the war which the draft
supplies today.

But Resistance Week is meant
to be more than just a statement
of opposition, The turning in of
draft cards and the possible acts
of civil disobedience at the in-
duction center are illegal acts of
resistance, They show a break
with the Selective Service System
and the U,S, government’s policy
in Vietnam, and a turning towards

alternatives to that system and
that policy,

The confrontation of the draft
and the, war which make up Re-
sistance Week will not accom-
plish a change in the. attitudes
and actions of the United States,
But for those who participate in
or support acts of resistance, a
seriousness in and a commitment
to the peace movement may be
generated, And in communicating
the decision to resist unjust pol-
icies and institutions to those who
do not support the war, but who
have been told that they have no
choice but to fight it, the con-
frontation may build a confidence
in others to resist.

A spirit of commitment and of
resistance was awakened in dem-
onstrators at the Pentagon Octo-
ber 21, Resistance Week is at-
tempting to pass this spirit to-the

munities, It should move these

Greenfield, Goldberg To Star
In Two One-Act Productions

Casts have been chosen’for next
week’s Little Theatre productions
of ‘Riders to the Sea’’ and
*¢Apollo of Bellac.”

Appearing in Synge’s ‘‘Riders
to the Sea’? are Faith Greenfield
as Maurya, Leslie Moore as Nora,
and Jane Monnig as Cathleen.
Director Lynne Meadow said that
this play about an Irish. family
which loses all its sons to the sea,
will not be done in the traditional
sense. Other art forms will be
incorporated. Lynne declined to
name these forms because she
hopes for a surprise effect.

The cast for Giraudoux’s
**apollo of Bellac’’ includes Ronnie
Goldberg as Agnes, Felicia Folk
as Therese, Ellen Dolnasky as the
secretary, AlServetnick as Apollo,
Richard Miller as the president,
Mitchel} Wangh as the vice pres-
ident, Jim Mullolly .as. the

Craig said the thesis of the
Giraudoux comedy is “the way
to get ahead in the world for
women is to tell men they are
handsome because all men are
vain. But the Apollo in the play
proves that one does not have to
be physically handsome to be the
spirit of beauty.”

Both of the plays run about
45 minutes. Lynne pointed out
that since one is a tragedy and
one a comedy, there should be
something for everyone to enjoy.

“Gaean —

“The college is really out of it.” “tts not relevant to my life;
what’s really important is happening outside.’’ ‘‘I don’t feel like a
member of any community here.’’ ‘‘Here there is no community.”’

The observation that students are alienated from Bryn Mawr (see
article to right) strikes a devastating blow to the alleged purpose of

* this college. Many members of both the student body and the admin-
istration are fond of reciting the well-known rhetoric extolling the
advantages of a small college: itisareal community, everyone cares
what everyone else is doing, people know each other, we all live and
work together on projects of mutual interest, ad nauseam,

A question now has arisen about the validity of that description of
Bryn Mawr. Ironically, it has been raised by someone who is perhaps
most involved with what many would say is the center of the Bryn
Mawr community, the social and academic honor systems. The aliena
tion and fragmentation she has found is very disturbing.

Perhaps however, this. center is really empty: the reason for this
alienation is that there actually is nothing meaningful and unique here
for students to build a community around, Maybe many students do not
care to make Bryn Mawr anything more than a series of classroom
lectures that will be attended only when they do not conflict with more
preferred activities,

If this is true (and the NEWS is not now suggesting that it is) then
there is no reason for Bryn Mawr tocontinue to frown on off-campus
living. There is no reason to increase Undergrad dues for activities
that no one is interested in participating in, let alone paying for. There
is no reason to pretend that Bryn Mawr is a community.

If, on the other hand, this is not the true situation, and there IS a
core of mutual experiences (both in and outside class) that can be
called Bryn Mawr, now is the time to find out why some students
are not experiencing it, and feel alienated from it.

The NEWS is not even sure that there is agreement on the value of
having a Bryn Mawr community. Assuming, however, that there is
such agreement, we would like to see some serious thinking, talking,
and writing done on several related questions:

bo

cesecece

raeceaeaectaee

l.Is rea comnrunity at Bryn Mawr?
2. If <’-re is, how can students who are now alienated from it be
brought into it?

3. Uf there is not, how can one be developed?

Iniquity

Better late than never: Marriott is. at long last permitting charges
at the College Inn, It is welcome news that the company has finally
abandoned its farcical policy of ‘‘student protection” for a more real-
istic system of student convenience,

It would be gratifying, however, if the Inn were open on a regular
basis for the students to enjoy their new liberty. Theoretically, it is;
theoretically the Inn is student-run from 9:30 to 12 every weekday
night,

Yet never does the week go by that at least one student fails to
appear, These girls are paid (and paid well: $2,50 an hour) simply to
open. the building and serve food, When it does not suit them, they do
not show up, This lack of responsibility is (a) annoying to thé other
students, who are deprived of the Inn’s services. and (b) unfair to
Marriott, which loses an evening’s business,

Furthermore, when the College Inn is open, rarely is it run to
anyone’s satisfaction, There is an incompleteness about the food
served, One student, for example, ordered soup and asked for crackers
with it -- not an outrageous demand, No, she was told, the crackers
are downstairs in the storeroom. Why is the storeroom so inaccess-
ible? If it is, why was the cracker supply not checked beforehand?

Yet in spite of the fact that the Inn keeps irregular hours and is
poorly run, it manages to have the highest prices around, A ‘‘Jumbo
Cheeseburger”’ (in itself a misleading name, as there is no ‘‘Normal”’
or ‘*Mini’’ cheeseburger alternative) is 55¢. It is simply hamburger,
cheese, and bread, At the Blu Comet, acheeseburger for 65¢ includes
lettuce, tomatoes, onions, relish and french fried potatoes. Why
should Marriott make a vast profit on the College Inn? It is enough that
it makes a healthy sum on catering tothe dorms -- where the quality
of food served often drives students to the Inn for sustenance,

§

Alienation Plagues Campus

In last year’s discussions about
the proposed Self Gov constitu-

. tional revisions, students support-

ing change emphasized that re-
strictions discourage the in-
dividual questioning of values and
ideas which leads to the estab-
lishment of a viable individual
ethical system. Only in the midst
of such questioning can we main-
tain a vigorous and dynamic com-
munity, Certainly, an excess of
rules is not conducive to an at-

* mosphere in which individuals

question and grow together.
: Absence of Rules:

However, the absence of rules
does not in itself guarantee the |
vigorous community we all en-
visioned in our discussions last
spring. The institution over the
past few years of unlimited class
cuts) driving privileges, and later
hours s made it possible for
students to spend an increasing
part of their college life involved
in activities outside of Bryn Mawr.
Potentially, this situation has great
value for Bryn’ Mawr,- for stu-
dents. now have more to contribute
to each other and to the group as
a whole. I think, though, that the
very reverse may be the result
of the changes which have been
taking place here over the past
seven or eight years. The com-
munity is: becoming increasingly
fragmented.

The rule changes have given
us what might be called a nega-

tive freedom, a liberation FROM

restraint, but we have: not yet
decided as a group what the posi-
tive communal aspects of ‘this
new freedom are to be. We know
what we are free from having to
do; we have not yet decided what
we are free TO DO, what our
responsibilities are to ourselves,
to each other, and to Bryn Mawr.

I do not mean to imply that a
series of implicit regulations and
duties should replace the former
explicit ones, for it is impossi-
ble to legislate a community into
being. On an individual level, the
pasis for this positive use of
freedom is a constant searching

-on the part of each student for the
value system, the internal set of
rules, which she believes to be
that of a decent human being. The

‘responsibility of the group as a

whole to each individual is to main-
tain an atmosphere in which she
may choose her values free of
pressure from those around her.
A positive communal use of free- .
dom requires in addition a re- .
sponsibility of each individual to
the group. This requirement can ©
be met only when every student is
concerned about what Bryn Mawr
is to be.

At present, no such concern
exists. A majority of undergrad-
uates feels, I believe, an aliena-
tion from Bryn Mawr and a less-
than-deep involvement in their
academié and other occupations
here. As a result, they seek mean-
ing elsewhere, and feel little at-
tachment to Bryn Mawr or re-
sponsibility toward developing a
real community here. If we are
not to exploit the opportunities
inherent in our living together as
a group, the essence of Bryn Mawr
as a residential college has little
significance.

Superficial Manifestations

The Self Gov Boards, as_ they
have been operating until now,
have dealt chiefly with the super-
ficial manifestations of this frag-
mentation and dissatisfaction. We
can deal with rulebreakers; we
can worry. about excessive drug
use. These problems are, how-

ever, only symptoms of some- .
« thing much more basic that is

wrong. An individual who feels
content and creative in his every-
day life does nof need constantly
to escape into a drug euphoria,
and does not develop a psycholog-
ical dependence on drugs.

The Self Gov Boards this year
have tried to include the student
body as a whole in the Self Gov
decision-making processes by
holding open meetings on impor-
tant questions and by printing ex-
tensive discussions of policy in
‘the NEWS, If students believed that



Letters to the Editor

Tact of Course

To the Editor:

There is a way to criticize
while being tactful. The course
evaluation sheet seems to have
been written in some places by
people who do not know anything
of these two qualities. In a num-
ber of cases the compiled com-
ments were vindictive and destruc-
tive rather than constructive. I
think that in some cases a eee
ple most eager to respond were
those who disliked the course the
most and were eager to take crack
shots at their ‘“tormenters.” In
many instances the comments re-
corded showed a complete lack of.
humanity and feeling, even though
the criticisms may be somewhat

. valid.

It is necessary to have some
way of communicating student feel-
ings about courses to the profes-
sors, but it should not have to
descend to the level af personal
insults and disrespect.

FREE Slates March



On Main Line District

A march from the Suburban
Theater in Ardmore to the Main
Line Board of Realtors in Bryn
Mawr will occur this Saturday,
December 2, at 10 a.m., under
the sponsorship of Project FREE
(For Real Estate Equality)

The purpose of the march is to
put pressure on the Board of
Realtors to cease discriminatory
practices against non-whites who
seek housing on the Main Line.

Project FREE was founded two
years ago, and is comprised of
housewives, clergymen, college
students, and businessmen, most
of whom live along the Main Line.

FREE is demanding that the
board give equal service to all
home-seekers, that it refuse to
accept discriminatory listings, and
that it co-operate with and share
real estate commissions with non-
discriminatory brokers.

It is specifically demanding that
the board Sead to meet the housing

they had an important role in their.
own government, we thought, they
might feel less alienated from
Bryn Mawr and find a construc-
tive role to play within it.' Even
if this effort on our part has had
some success -- and EF am not
at all sure this is so -- it is but
a very small part of what needs
to be done.

If students are to feel them-
selves a part of a community at
Bryn Mawr, they must be able
to find here meaningful endeavor
which they share with.other mem-
bers of the community. ‘Students
seldom discuss academic mat-
ters except the night before a
test. Why is there such a current
of anti-intellectualism? What
changes could we make in the
academic program at Bryn Mawr
that would make students find more
significance in what is, after all,
the purpose of their presence here?
Where is the new creative arts
program for which money has been
appropriated? Should we_ not
examine again the reasons for
the divorce of creative arts and~
academics?

, Community Disintegration

we are to discover the foun-
dations of the disintegration of
community at Bryn Mawr, we must
ask sweeping questions about the
nature and philosophy of the Col-
lege, the student government, the
faculty, and the students. Such
questioning seems a beginning to
the only constructive role possible
in the face of what I see asa
disintegration of the purpose of
Bryn Mawr.

Self Gov obviously cannot do
all of this. The problems we see
around us now cannot be dealt
with by the legislative and judi-
cial functions which Self Gov has
performed in the past. I hope that.
we can initiate the radical group
self-examination which I see as
necessary to an attempt to make
Bryn Mavr have a significance as
a community.

have you:ever thought about
dropping out? not out of school,
not even out of life really, but
just a sort of physical dropping
out, becoming invisible so that
you wouldn’t have to talk to peo-
ple anymore but could keep on
being around without anyone no-
ticing you.

just think of all the things you
wouldn’t have to worry about if no
one knew you were there: if you
happened to wake up feeling like
you’d spent the night beingdragged —
over rocks, your best friend
wouldn’t get insulted when you
walked glassy-eyed past her in the
hall without speaking. or if you.
walked into a room full of people
and sat down and started reading
‘*time*’? because you didn’t have
anything particularly brilliant you
wanted to say, no one would think
you were being anti-social, or
maybe you had just finished a rough.
afternoon in the geology lab and
what you really wanted to do was
lie on your bed listening to sooth-
ing stereo sounds -- and in walked
lisa to tell you exactly why it was
essential to her moral integrity
to leave bryn mawr and join the
coal miners in appalachia, you
could keep on listening to your
soothing stereo sounds until you |
had recovered because of course
how could she talk to you if you
weren’t there (physically speaking
i mean)?

dropping out (for a week or so
at a time) is probably the answer

-to the world’s: problems. at least

it is to mine. so if you miss my
owl eyes in the dark, don’t get
worried: .i’m still around (spir-
itually speaking). —

The Mohonk Consultations with 1. How are you to internationalize tiative to make approaches.

International Students is over. I
am happy to give you a report of
the Consultation and the wonderful
place where it was held.

Mohonk Lake is the greatest thing
that ever happened to life. To try
to describe the beauty will need
some poetry but I am not a poet.
Maybe the best way to describe
the environment is in the words
of a colleague. ‘‘I am not sur-
prised the United Nations never
solves any problems. A man who
has to go through the New York
Subway system or breathe the life
destroying air of New York should
not be expected to solve any pro-
blems. The only thing they need is

to come to Mohonk ‘Lake watch the >

beautiful scenery -- the lake,
house, cliffs, mountains, stars, and
all. of Nature at its glory -- then
they can have the clear head neces-

- sary for problem solving.’’

May I now call the attention of my
readers to the word ‘‘Inter-
national?” This means U.S, isalso
included. More often than not there
is a tendency for (us) American
students to equate ‘international

|... students” with “foreign students.”

There were thirty-three of us,
though the majority were from
~ Africa, Latin-America, The Middle
East and Asia. The chairman was
Mr. Noel J. Brown, Political
Affairs Officer, Dept. of Political
and Security Council Affairs,
United Nations Secretariat , New
York. Our host was The Mohonk
Trust.

Three fields of problems were
explored and many questions ex-
amined. The three areas were:

campuses?

2. What values in your. culture
would you like people from other
parts of the world to be in-
formed? How do you go about
presenting them?

native but to seek each other out
and form a group.

(c) To break this barrier and to
acquire respect for other cultures
the following should be done:

1. Films of other countries, not
only for entertainment but for in-
formative purposes. should be
shown. These films do not have to
be anthropological or sociological.
In fact they should be an informal
way of introducing other people’s
cultures on campus.

2. International parties should be
as frequent as mixers. In these
parties music from different coun-
tries will be used, (I may add here
that we spent the Saturday night of
the Consultation dancing to music
from all the parts of the world. We
danced to Latin-American, Afri-
can, Arabian, Indian, Philippine,
Japanese, Indonesian and Iran
music. It made us appreciate one
another better).

3. An international newsletter
should be established between cam-
puses.

instead of depending on text books
alone the colleges and universities
should make use of the available
foreign students on their campuses,

Men Alerted

To Rights

Outside Induction Center

Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Vil-
lanova students are cooperating

in’ a program to give out informa--

tion on rights and alternatives un-
der the draft at the Philadelphia
induction center.

Pre-inductees who are coming
for their physicals and inductees
report to the induction center at
401 Broad Street every morning
between seven and eight. The stu-
dents who come to meet them join
members of the Philadelphia Anti-
Draft Union and help give out
their leaflet to the boys as they
go in.

“you CAN keep this leaflet,’’
the leaflet begins reminding the
inductees and pre-inductees that
they are still civilians and pro-
tected by civil law. The leaflet
urges them not to sign away their
rights and points out ways of de-
laying induction which will give
ithe pre-inductee or the inductee
‘time to seek legal aid and ad-
vice, both of which are offered
free by , the Philadelphia Anti-
Draft Union. Alternatives to in-
duction are presented: the four-
teen categories of deferment,
conscientious ob,ector status, go-
ing to Canada, or refusal of in-
duction. This information is not

Service Authorities.

Students and members of the
Anti-Draft.Union have often en-
gaged inductees and pre-induc-
tees in conversation, with some
favorable response. The response,
like the number of inductees and
pre-inductees on a certain day,
is variable. One morning early
last month the inductees and pre-
inductees were outnumbered by
the students, at least fifty of whom
came to continue the leafletting and
also to demonstrate support for
Ronald Lockman, the private who
was sentenced to two and a half
years at hard labor for refusing
to go to Vietnam.

Students who are interested in
leafletting should call Barbara

stead of trying to impose American
values on foreign students ‘and vice
versa. ;

I will just run through the speci-
fic topics discussed under the
second question without giving any
details of discussion.

(a) Age should be respected but
some discretion should be exer-
cized.

(b) Materialistic values should
be balanced with more meaningful
human relations.

(c) Most of the students from
Africa, Latin-America, and Asia
(i.e. the third world) believe that a
woman should be a woman and
housekeeper first and an equal se-
cond. But other students from
Europe and America believe a
woman should be an equal first and
other things second.

(d) Developing countries tend to
bring up children better by teaching
them respect and self-discipline

.and restraint without giving them
freedom very early. Some argued
that the more advanced a country
becomes, the more freedom a child
has and hence the less parental
control. Many of us agreed this
should not necessarily be, and
advocated that parents and schools
cooperate in bringing up a child,

vocated. the warm relaxed and
carefree hospitality common in the
third world. We rejected the idea:
that advancement should necessar-
ily make a man less hospitable and
turn his humane ideals to cold
charity. —

(f) The respect of labor found in
America was admired and mem-
bers of the third world were urged
to learn this kind of respect from
America.

(g) We touched on the question of
discrimination of any kind asfound
in South Africa, Southern Rhodesia,
East Africa, Nigeria or in the U.S,
We agreed that discrimination is
denial of one or more of these
eight objectives which man strives
for, i.e. power, enlightenment, well
being, skills, wealth, affection, re-
spect and rectitude.

Finally onthe: third topic, we
felt that to. be agents of change,
our goal should be for happiness.
Unlike the U.S. where the Consti-
tution guarantees the people happi-
ness, many of us come from the
world where happiness isnot guar-
anteed by Constitution, so we felt

theorists, is to change our society
from one with an emphasis on mat-
erialism and militarism to one
with more concern for freedom
based on the worth and dignity
of the individual. However, the
movement has so far had much
difficulty in defining its aims be-
yond this social panacea and in
becoming a constructive and
effective force in national politics.

ship of the Negro movement to

individual students. Anyone in-
terested should contact Liz

Grass Roots Politics
Offers Students Jobs

The scramble for summer jobs
in Washington has already begun.
Because thousands of political
science majors compete for posi-
tions many are refused.

However, rejected students need
not resign themselves to being
shopgirls, for there is an ex-
cellent opportunity in Pennsyl-
vania to gain experience in grass
roots politics. A student could
.be an aide to a state legislator,
to a mayor, or to a county chair-
man.

‘The Pennsylvania center for
Education in Politics (PCEP) pro-
poses to match salaries from leg-
islators on a two-to-one basis; a
full ten-week program would pay
$750.

Applications must be approved
by Mr. Peter Bachrach and ‘must

“be submitted jointly with the poli-

tician with whom the student would
serve. (The assumption of the
carga program is that the
t already has a partisan
seep Maca thus, students
should seek internships only with
politicians whose partisan affili-
ations they share).

The deadline for applications

is Feb. 15, 1968... Students may
obtain necessary forms from Dr.
Sidney Wise, Director, Pennsyl-
vania Center for Education in Pol-
itics, Franklin and Marshall Col-

ness. Technology is the measure
of rate of progress used by develop-
ing countries. However, before we
made any further decisions to use
industrialization as a primary
means of change, we asked our-
selves if the price we have to pay
for industrialization is really worth
it. :

No conclusions were ever
reached on this topic but weagreed
that before one can be an effective
agent of change, he has toconsider

the level at which this change is:

wanted, remember that people re-
sist changes and so try to find a
way to convince them that the
change will be good. Then he will
have to consider how to organize
the people or the system to effect
this change,

An agent of change should con-
sider a method which willfrustrate
him the least. He should examine
his political configuration, know
his environment very well, should
be willing to pay the price of the
change he advocates,

At this point I will end this re-
port, but will not fail to mention
that the above is my view of what
I say our agreements were. I do
not say that the above is what the
‘Mohonks official report will be.

One thing we agreed on without
reservations is that there is no-
thing like a superior culture or
superior society. While I hope you
will think of the meaning of this
statement, I wish to add that the
developed world should never for-
get that the developing world is
just as important to it(the develop-
ed world) as it thinks it is to the
developing world. Dora Chizea

making a film about Bryn Mawr to
be shown in Thailand. The film
centers partly around Kanitta Mee--
sook, a junior from Thailand.

The USIA is making the film

another Thai which was _photo-
graphed in the swinging chair in
the Deanery. Kanitta talked about
her majors, mathematics and
economics, the college and its
history, the curriculum committee
and the role of students in the
college. She also explained life
around the dorm.

Kanitta admits that the men
were a bit distracting. At times
she felt uneasy especially during
