- Holben Elected Editor-in-Chief;
Plans to Provoke Controversy
The 1966 Editorial Board of the
COLLEGE NEWS was elected last
Wednesday night by the NEWS
staff. Nanette Holben, ’68, a for-
mer Managing Editor and Copy
Editor, became the new Editor-
in-Chief.
Laura Krugman, ’67, was elected
Associate Editor, She served on
the Editorial Board as Copy Edi-
tor and Member-at-Large, and is
knownfor her coverage of the Ker-
mode lecture Seriés this fall.
The new Managing Editor is
Kit Bakke, °68, who as a reporter
covered primarily political news
and served as Member-at-Large
(and “the minority voting mem-
ber’’) of the Editorial Board. Ele-
anor von Auw, ’68, whose reviews
and account of horrifying everits
in the library on Halloween appear -
ed in the NEWS this year, will be
the new Copy Editor.
Darlene Preissler, ’68, will con-
tinue as Make-up Editor and plans
to work for more variety in the
make-up and more definite de- .
partmentalization of the paper into
news and feature sections. Robin
Johnson, ’68, a reporter much ap-
preciated for her Thursday morn-
ing deadline articles, was named
Member -at-Large. —
Nanette’s plans include (theor-.
etically) using the NEWS as a step
in a *‘chain reaction’’ to provoke
activity on campus. She hopes to
instigate more student comment,
especially letters to the editor,
which would hopefully leadto more
meaningful and tangible response
Jobs in English
Outlined at Tea
By Shipley Head
Mrs. W. Perry Epes, a Bryn
Mawr alumna and headmistress of
The Shipley School, spoke on job
possibilities for. English majors
at a tea sponsored by Curriculum
Committee Wednesday, January
12, in the Common Room.
Mrs. Epes mentioned journa-
lism, both magazine and news-
paper work, as a field that does not
demand graduate work. Experience
in the field itself is generally con-
sidered more useful. A winner of
Vogue Magazine’s Prix de Paris
when she was a student, Mrs. Epes
stressed that writing fashion, thea-
ter, or other types of copy for such
a magazine allows the writer to
draw extensively on her literary
background.
There are two schools of thought
on the best method of obtaining a
magazine job. Mrs. Epes main-
tains that an applicant who stresses
her stenographic and typing skills
may remain trapped in a secre-
tarial position. Mrs. Louise Cren-
shaw, director of the Bureau of
Recommendations, has found that
many magazines and publishing
houses will promote promising
workers from_ secretarial to
editorial positions. She advised
students who hope to find such
jobs to present stenographic skills.
Discussing the field of teaching,
Mrs. Epes remarked that many of
her classmates have returned to —
~ the profession after many years but
regret not having a graduate de-
gree. ‘When she considers a poten-

**Besides, the more activity
from the student body, the better
news for us.’’
Outgoing Editor-in-Chief Lynne
Lackenbach commented, ‘‘I’ve had
fun with the NEWS, and I think
Nanette will, Besides, we need
a humorist for the editorial col-
umn,””
Faculty Approves New Calendar,
More Co-ordination with H’ford
The faculty voted by a narrow
margin to instate a new calender
for the school year 1966-67,
This calendar as presently writ- -
ten is only ‘‘temporary, tem-
porarily’’ said Mrs. Dorothy N.,
Marshall, Dean of the College.
There will be further talks with the
Haverford College faculty and with
the student curriculum committee,

“Right to Dissent”’ Topic
For Philly ACLU Head
Spencer Coxe, Executive Direc-
tor of the Greater Philadelpfiia
Branch of the American Civil
Liberties Union, spoke to about
60 people Wednesday night, Jan-
uary 12 in the Common Room on
the right to dissent, Coxe, who is
not a lawyer, is perhaps more in-
formed on the law, particularly
constitutional law, than any other
layman in the area. He pointed
out several times that although
he cannot deliver foolproof advice,
he has found to his ‘‘great joy
that anyone can quote Supreme
Court decisions.”
He gave his audience guidelines
for dissenting and protesting,
Freshman Show
Plans Under Way
For February 12
Laurie Adams will direct the
class of ’69’s Freshman Show, to
be given February 12. Susan Koch
will be stage manager and Holly
Maddux, dance director.
Casting begins Monday, January
31, and rehearsals will run for the
next two weeks. Other posts and
committees will be filled when
freshmen finish signing the lists
in Taylor.
Melanie Sherry and Robin Bas-
kind have blocked out the script,
which has no working title as yet.
Further work on the lines is now
in progress and it is hoped that
the script will be finished during
exam week.
The theme uses the idea of._the
modern political. candidate. who
must employ public relations
firms, use a computer, and be an
actor to get elected.
dividing this up into procedural
matters and substantive matters.
The former consisted of short
descriptions of where and when
picketing and parading is legal,
and where leafletting and sound
trucks may be used. He said that
everyone has a constitutional right
to voice opinions and gather in
reasonably sized groups without a
permit on public property or pri-
vate property given over to public
use. Though this may result in
public inconvenience this is one
of the penalties society pays for
the free exercise of speech. The
inconvenience is not protected,
however, when it is not reason-
able, such as sitting-in across a
main arterial,
Radnor Township has recently
passed an ordinance in this area,
which Mr. Coxe said is clearly
unconstitutional. The ordinance
makes illegal the assemblage of
eight or more persons, animals,
or vehicles (or any combination
thereof) without a permit, ex-
cepting the American Legion and
several other specified groups.
The second half was devoted
to substantive matters, that is,
what can and cannot be said. All
opinions on this stem from Supreme
Court decisions declaring speech
which involves a clear and pres-
ent danger, fighting words or ob-
scenity as not constitutionally
protected. If some jdea is pres-
ented, which does not involve in-
citement to riot but does involve
fighting words, however repugnant
they may be, the ACLU would
consider it protected. Coxe gave
the example of the Nazi pickets
carrying signs in Philadelphia say-
ing. ‘85% of.all Jews are traitors.’’
His organization decided that there
‘ was an idea there and .for that
reason, it must be protected, The
Philadelphia police agreed.
With improvements, a new sys-
tem could be voted in for a trial
period of five years. Swarthmore
College has also contacted Haver-
ford in respect to calendar reform,
According to thé new calendar,
next year classes will start
September 19, 1966, and classes
will run to December 16 with a
break for Thanksgiving vacation.
Classes. will begin again after
Christmas January 5, 1967, and
continue until January 10, There
will be a review period from Janu-
ary 11 to 18. Final exams will run
from January 14 (Saturday)
to January 25.
The second semester will be
similar to this year’s, with com-
mencement May 29. Spring
vacation. will run from March
23 to April 3 and include Easter.
Final exams run from May 15 to
26,
No formal review period for
the second semester is included
in the plan, but instructors may
include one ‘at their option. Thus
the schedule will be flexible.
Improvements: in the calendar
plan include an earlier opening
and more _ co-ordination with
Haverford’s ‘schedule, There is a
longer Christmas vacation, The
earlier opening will have the addi-
tional benefit of fewer difficulties
in co-ordinating the Bryn Mawr
graduate school with that of the
University of Pennsylvania,
Mrs. Marshall also said tha

census of either faculty pr

200 Bryn er ‘Students Sign
Letter on Vietnam to Presid
Two BMC: students circulated
letters to President Johnson
around campus last week support-
ing his recent moratorium on
bombing in Vietnam and subse-
quent ‘‘peace feelers.’’
Approximately 200 = students
signed the letters, which read as
follows:
‘‘We appreciate your recent ef-
forts towards a negotiated peace
in Vietnam . We think only such
moves as cessation of the bomb-
ing and discussions with world
leaders can lead to negotiations.
We hope that you will continue
such measures until a settlement
is reached.’’ °
The two students, who prefer to
remain anonymous, feel that more
signatures might have been obtain-
ed if they had not wished to send
the letter so quickly. The number
of signatures ranged from 67 in
one hall to none in another. Again,
the students felt that this was owing
to rather hectic methods of cir-
culation and did not reflect polari-
zation of political opinion on cam-
pus.
The idea for the letters origin-
ated with a suggestion by the Rev-
erend William S, Cdffin Jr., who

the action was significant, because
as one of the girls remarked,

Fast for Vietnam
Planned at H’ford
A statement of fast for the pur-
pose of thought and discussion on
the United States’ position in South-
east Asia has been signed by about
forty students at Haverford and
Bryn Mawr. The students plan to
drink orange juice and hold infor-
mal discussions in lieu of eating.
The time period involved will
average about eight days, or be
more or less as each individual
feels fit. It is tentatively planned
to begin the first Thursday of 2nd
semester, February 3, but it may
be postponed or called off,
depending on the world situation.
Ed Hazzard and Dave Parker re-
leased a statement on the fast
Wednesday night. It is a detailed
questioning of what is happening
nowy.and what is to be expected
in the next five years. ‘‘We are
suspicious,’’ it states, ‘‘of apeace
offensive which on one hand ends
the bombing in North Vietnam and
yet continues’? such things as
widening the war to Laos, satura-
tion bombing of South Vietnam and
.the poisoning of 70,000 acres of
rice because the peasants in that
area are sympathetic to the Viet
Cong.
It sums up by saying that Pres-
ident Johnson’s peace offensive is
a step in the right direction, but
that it ‘*has been accompanied by no
apparent change in policy or re-
consideration of the role of the
US in Southeast Asia.”’
These are matters which the
students think need discussing.
The statement says that they re-
alize that what they are doing
probably won’t affect US policy,
but that. the point is to help eachof
them“ feel and understand the
immediacy -of -what-is happenrng.
*They invite anyone to join them,
to fast as long as they like, or
not at all, but just to join in the
discussion.

Two years ago Bryn Mawr spent six months preparing and holding an
intercollegiate conference on the civil rights movement in America. In
1964 election fever took over, and an unprecedented percentage of the
campus participated in the national presidential election, both in the
campaign and in NBC's election night coverage of the returns. Each of
these events highlighted the years in which they took place. 1965 was
somewhat different. No outside movement involved the campus as a
whole, and no one idea managed to set the tone for the year. Instead it
was a year of quiet, internal revolution, one of piece-meal, but in sim
extensive, changes in the areas that concern us most as students:
the quality ‘of our education and the way in which we live during our
undergraduate years,
No single campus group can take the credit for the reforms of the
past year. Undergrad, Self-Gov, faculty, and administration all con-
tributed to the changes which must irrevocably alter the ‘‘face’’ of
Bryn Mawr in the future. Academically, the long-awaited new curri-
culum’ became a reality, and calendar reform is at last being attempt-:
ed,
For the: majority of us who spend four years living in a dormi-
tory, the opening of Erdman and the extensive hall renovations of last
summer have resulted in a multitude of changes. Less crowding, more
smoker space, and vastly improved surroundings have undoubtedly
raised morale, as has smoking in the rooms where it is now per-
mitted. Getting out of the dorm is still a necessity, but that too comes
more easily now. The new driving rule, 2:00 unescorted signouts, and
student phones have all made the outside world-far less ‘‘outside”’
and far easier to get into.
If 1965 had to be summed. up”in a phrase, it would probably have to
be called a year of renovation. It was a year of taking stock, of
improving present conditions, and of preparing for the future. It was
not always a pleasant year, there were frustrations as well as victories,
but it was a necessary year. And overall, it was a good year, for the
College and for the students. | a ae
Friday's Child
Perhaps the best thing that can be said for next year’s calendar
is that it is only temporary. Otherwise, its merits are not particular-
ly outstanding, although at the same time, neither are its flaws.
The calendar offers two minor improvements on the present system,
a three-day addition to Christmas vacation and a three-day reading
period which precedes the first semester’s exams (and because,
exams next year begin on a Saturday, this will meana five-day
review period for many students).
Elimination of the so-called lame duck period of classes between
Christmas vacation and exams was not instituted, nor were several other
measures. The calendar is obviously acompromise measure at present,
In view of the fact that neither faculty nor students could achieve a de-
cisive majority and that better co-ordination between Haverford and
Bryn Mawr was a major aim of the calendar committee, the results
are nevertheless promising. Hopefully, this calendar will serve as both
a testing ground for the more progressive measures which it presently
includes in modified form and a bridge to a more academically satisfy-
ing plan,
Fast Thinking
The new statement on the Vietnamese situation issued by students
of Haverford and Bryn Mawr carries with it a promising suggestion.
A fast for the purpose of thought and discussion is planned to explore
the present and future state of affairs in Southeast Asia. The state-
ment invites all interested students, fasting or not, to join these
sessions, Such a forum could provide the setting for an open exchange
of ideas on a tangled and complex matter.
As the war continues in Vietnam, opinions are offered freely on
‘all sides, Criticism, support, and varying brands of solution fill
the air, but there seems to be an unfortunate lack of communication
among those of differing views. A topic that by rights demands clear
and calm consideration from all angles is all too often buried in
the clashes of those too involved in their own thoughts to listen to others.
A fast should not be necessary to stimulate discussion of Vietnam,
‘but neither should the opportunity to speak and to listen be ignored
by those who disagree with the position of its originators. We hope
that students of varying views -- but of uniform willingness to consider
Perhaps from the thought and discussion and orange juice will
emerge a clearer understanding of the issue for the participants.
These students are offering a valuable opportunity. It is certainly
worth a try. 4

Our ship is presently located off

trying to do our part in the deter-

Sherman ‘said “of the conflict

This is the first edition of a
regular (hopefully) bridge column
in the COLLEGE NEWS, The ob-
ject will be to reproduce interest-
ing hands actually played at Bryn
Mawr by average bridge addicts,
Tournament or duplicate con-
ditions will not be assumed, and
the bidding will be based onGoren,
with a minimum of conventions.
In other words I shall try to
reconstruct hands that a run-of-
the-mill player could bid and play
successfully without resorting to
the rabbit-in-the-hat techniques so
often found inthe syndicated bridge
columns. Incidentally, this column
is definitely an amateur enter-
prise, so corrections, improve-
ments, and suggested hands are
always welcome.
This week’s hand is intriguing
because there is at least a game
contract in all four suits. The
problem is, however, that slam
can be reached in only one suit,
and only if a courageous player
bids slam holding a singleton
trump.
As actually played, the contract
of five spades, doubled, is made
over any défense. North-South can
even make five clubs if the de-
fense fails to take immediate ad-
vantage of West’s spade void. But
East-West can also make five dia-
monds or six hearts.
The best contract is for West
to become declarer in six hearts,
but reaching this is difficult. As-
suming that the first round of bid-
ding is straightforward, the cru-
cial point: is West’s second bid.
She may bid either five hearts
or five diamonds. A diamond bid
eliminates slam as it did above,
because her partner has no idea
of the length and strength of her
heart suit. Five hearts is. there-
fore preferred, and clearly in-
vites slam.
North may bid five spades or
double, but in either case East is
justified in bidding six.hearts de-
spite her singleton. Her reasoning
is this: West must have six or
seven hearts with at least two
honors, no spades, and something
in diamonds. This leaves one club
loser, but that is all.
West can at no time bid slam
as she can expect two club losers
and a possible diamond loser from
the bidding.

The Fast
To the Editor:
The fasting of students and fac-
/ ulty members of Bryn Mawr and
Haverford Colleges who wish to
draw attention to the suffering of
the people of Vietnam is a method
of expressing deep concern, both
about the situation in Southeast
Asia and about the lack of know-
ledge and interest shown by the
American people, particularly stu-
dents._at_ Bryn Mawr and Haver-
ford.
The main goal of the fast is con-
structive: as the Haverford state-
ment says, ‘*By showing our con-
cern in this way, we hope to arouse
intense and thoughtful discussion |
_about the war and about ways of
changing the conditions which make
this war possible.’’ Self-education
and increased personal awareness
are emphasized, as well as con-
tacting people who have not pre-
viously considered the basic is-
sues of the war.
The fast will begin on the first
Thursday of second semester, and
it is proposed that the participants
will drink fruit juice for eight days.
However, each individual will de-
cide ‘what length of time is ap-
propriate for him, and anyone
may join on whatever partial basis
he sees fit.
Discussions will be held each
day of the fast, with discussion
leaders presenting various points
of view. These meétings will be
open to everyone: ‘‘Our purpose is
to further discussion among our-
selves and with others.’’

A master’s degree is, however,
an asset and eventually anecessity

“Juliet of the Spirits’ Skirts Edge
Ot Reality, Fantasy Symbolically
by Fern Hunt, 69
Federico Fellini’s *‘Juliet of the
' Spirits’’ examines the real world
through the eyes of the wife of'a
_ successful but unfaithful Italian
businessman..
The viewer. is_seated. onthe
boundary line between Juliet’s
mind and the outside world so that
he sees wha‘ happens in both her
mind and in the real world
separately and sometimes simul-
taneously. The most significant
events, however, occur in Juliet’s
mind. S
The film therefore turns the
mind and the real world inside-
out so that the world of the mind
is clearly exposed while reality
is not at all clear.
Juliet’s mind is inhabited by
spirits, who are the shades of
Juliet’s past and present acquaint-
ances. In her = mind, these
acquaintances become symbols or
personifications of religion, sex,
psychiatry, and various related
Freudian symbols. The world of:
the spirits becomes, in effect, the

School,
symbolic representation of the real
world as Juliet sees it.
Juliet’s problem symbolically
is a conflict between two spirits.
One, her former headmaster at
was in reality a stern,
authoritarian figure. Now, as a
spirit, he represents religion. The
other spirit is her grandfather
who ran away with a circus bare-
back rider when Juliet was a
child. He perhaps represents free-
dom and irresponsibility.
Both spirits are fighting over
Juliet, who is represented among
the spirits by aninnocent, ignorant
martyr bound to a burning wooden
raft. The grandfather wants to set
her free but the headmaster does
not.
Juliet is constantly devoting her -
self to others, yet there is a con-
flict between self-sacrifice and
religious orthodoxy on “the one
hand and freedom on the other.
Juliet’s devotion to her family
makes her blind to the fact that
they do not love her. In fact,
Juliet is not even conscious of
the conflict until she discovers
her husband’s infidelity. Her com-
fortable world now crumbling, Ju-
liet tries to protect herself by
seeking righteous revenge, but she
is not vengeful by nature and fails;
then she considers adultery and
sex, but her ethics run contrary
to debauchery. Finally, she tries
psychiatry but it is too trivial and
superficial.
When Juliet’s husband finally
leaves her, it is clear that the
remedies of the world -- religion,
psychiatry or sex -- are useless.
Juliet resolves the conflict by
freeing the spiritual child bound
over the flames, thereby freeing
herself from blind and ignorant de-
votion to her family. She sees
the truth about them, i.e. that
they are cold and false. She there-
fore discovers the truth about the
real world. Ironically, Juliet does
not see the truth until she re-
moves herself from the world
and becomes involved in the world
of the spirits (a place which by the
real world’s standards does not
exist)!
Fellini also uses colors and
clothes as symbols. For example,
he employs reds and whites and
other primary colors to denote
_ cheapness or purity. In effect, he
tries to .integrate every part of
the film to his various themes and -
symbols. The symbolism is rigid
so that there is a fair amount of
preaching.
Nevertheless, the world of *‘Ju-
liet of the Spirits’? is certainly
worth visiting.

“The Apple’? -- 92 and still coaching hockey.
Miss A pplebee Recalls
Early BMC Phys. Ed.
*“‘The Apple’? -- Constance Mary
Katharine Applebee-- is back
- at her old stamping grounds, and
there’s no stopping the 92-year-old
women’s field hockey coach, whose
name’ is as much an institution at
Bryn Mawr as that of M. warey
Thomas.
Miss Applebee, who is staying at
the Deanery until Saturday, taught
physical education at Bryn Mawr
from 1903 to 1928 at her retire-
ment. She had come to Harvard
Summer school in 1901 to study
public health (‘‘I don’t mean sew-
age’). and prior to her tenure
at Bryn Mawr she toured a num-
ber of women’s colleges to demon-
strate field hockey, a sport that had
proved so popular among women in
her native England.
**American women were very
weak and puny in those days,’’
pealed the Apple, ‘‘but M. Carey
Thomas was getting them ready
to rule the world.’’ When Miss
Applebee assumed control of the
gym department, she organized 90
percent of the student body into
26 separate hockey teams.
*‘Students used to run their own
physical education here, but they
got into trouble and were very
riotous.’’ Enter Miss Applebee,
nicknamed ‘‘The Apple’? by ‘saucy
Bryn Mawr students... They man-
aged their athletics, and they man-
aged me... sometimes.
“I never played a game of hockey
in America, simply because I was
so busy coaching. I played withthe
students once, but Miss Thomas
said it wasn’t dignified.’’
When she joined the staff, 65
percent of the student body didn’t
take gym, and so _ the Apple
decided, ‘‘If you couldn’t do any-
thing, that meant you were deli-
cate and really needed five periods
of gym a week. The strong ones
only needed three periods, The
weak ones got strong very fast.
*¢1 don’t remember any nervous
breakdowns. There were no psy-
chiatrists. We went down to the
hockey field for psychiatry.”
Radnor and Taylor were the only
buildings on the Bryn Mawr cam-
pus in 1903, except for a smallin-
appropriately built, brick gym-
nasium.,‘‘I found it quite impossible
--there were too many people
enjoying gym.
**T suggested enlarging it, but
President Thomas said we must
have a new gymnasium, not a re-
building. One day she announced at
chapel that the new gym would cost
$33,000 -- and thus impossible.
**The students were furious. The
president of the Athletic Associa-
tion stomped into her office, and
President Thomas said if the stu-
dents could raise $20.000, she
would raise the $13,000. They had
from Easter to commencement.
“The week before commence-
ment the Athletic Association an-
nounced that they had raised the
money. But President Thomas
hadn’t raised a cent, because she
didn’t.expect them to get the $20,-
000.’” But true to her word, she
drummed up $13,000 in the one
remaining week. In 1908 the
present gym opened its doors.
To harvest the legacy of the
Apple on this campus ‘calls for
more than a look at physical edu-
cation,. Applebee Barn still bears
her name; that property was pur-
chased during the 50th anniver-
sary of the introduction of field
hockey to America.
Even the COLLEGE . NEWS
comes from the core of the Apple,
In 1915 she helped organize
the paper with a handful of students,
who along with Miss Applebee
chipped in $10 apiece for the first
fruitful attempts. Page Two’s
‘*Applebee’’ column (see today’s)
is also her namesake.
_And she still coaches field
hockey, largely at Camp Tegewitha
in the Poconos, whose seeds she
sowed 45 years ago. ‘‘I don’t use
my legs much anymore, but my
voice is still loud. When I say
run, they run.’? Miss Applebee
is an American citizen, but she
spends half the year in the states
and half at her home in Hamp-
shire, England.
*‘Physical education is not re-
quired in English colleges because
sports are a part of the students’
lives. That’s what I’ve tried to
make happen here.
‘‘And I still wear a tunic.’’

gradual and irregular growth tak-
ing place over a period of two
million years.
After enumerating the obstacles
to arriving at an understanding of
the character of hominid evolution,
Dr. Hallowell went on to define
that character as he conceives it.
~He stated his opposition .to..the
*tarchetypal’’ interpretation of the
emergence of Homo sapiens, which
postulates a comprehensive ‘‘ma-
cro-mutation’” effecting in one
great stride the transformation of
a creature entirely animal into one
completely human.
He expressed his disagree-
ment as well with the ‘critical
point hypothesis”’ that watches the,
enlarging brain ofthe evolving pri-
mate expand and expand until it
reaches the ‘‘critical’’ volume of
750 cubic centimeters, at which
instant the creature ceases to be
an animal and steps forth asa
full-fledged man.
AS a more tenable alternative
to these two theories Dr. Hallo-
well offered the ‘‘mosaic’’ theory,
according to which evolution is
viewed as _a-development-of dif-
ferent aspects of the organism at
different rates.
The problem thus became one ot
defining just what it was that
marked the transition from an
“exceptionally clever animal to
a man.’? Dr. Hallowell rejected
the notion of the existence of #
culture as the distinctive feature
of the human type.
He rejected also the idea that
the social transmission of learned
habits is an idiosyncratic feature
peculiar to human society.
The acquisition of speech Dr.
Hallowell seemed to take as the
most crucial of the gradations
in the evolutionary process cul-
minating .in Homo sapiens.
It was, however, a bit ironic
that Dr. Hallowell should have
chosen to: place such emphasis on
the power of language and the new
dimension of freedom afforded by
its use, For he himself appeared
encumbered by it -- indeed, im-
prisoned by its forms. His paper
was, unfortunately, not one par-
ticularly suited to oral presenta-
tion, being laden not only with
scientific terminology and profes-
sional jargon, but also with, an
abundance of almost over-precise
qualifying phrases, E.v.A.
