Noted Dove Joseph Clark
To Address Campus Monday

Sen. Joseph S, Clark (D.-Pa.)
will’ speak at 4 p.m. Monday
in the Erdman living room under
the auspices of Alliance.

Clark, who is running for re-
election this November, was re-
cently endorsed by Sen, Eugene
McCarthy, Clark opposes the
war in Vietnam.

In a speech made in January,
1966, Clark said, ‘‘I am unal-
terably opposed to trading Am-
erican coffins for Vietnamese real
estate,’’

Clark first called for negoti-
ations to end the war in Viet-
nam in 1965, He has since met
with members of the Senate For-
eign Relations Committee, mem-
bers of the Administration and UN
leaders, and has made trips to
Geneva and, Vietnam in an effort
to bring the. war to-a halt,

Clark’s appearance on the Bryn
Mawr campus confirms rumors
circulating this week that either
he and/or Sen, Edmund Muskie
would speak here,

Barbara Elk, president of Al-

liance, said that Muskie would def-
initely not be speaking here in the
immediate future. She said thatan
advance man from Philadelphia had «
called Melville Kennedy, associate
professor of pdlitical science, and
said that Muskie might speak at
Bryn Mawr last Wednesday after
speaking at Villanova,

Barbara said that Muskie had

apparently decided to cancel any -

visits to colleges in the area on

his trip this week to Pennsyl- :

vania,

Kennedy was primarily respon-
sible for getting Clark to come to
the campus, said Barbara, When
Kennedy was working in Clark’s
office this summer, the Senator
asked if he-could come to Bryn
Mawr to talk. Kennedy asked
Alliance this fall if it would spon-
sor the Senator’s visit, ,

Clark has also worked for the
nuclear test ban treaty and the

-huclear non-proliferation treaty.

He founded and heads the Mem-
bers of Congress for Peace
Through Law,

“Workcamp Tackles Slum Problem:
Finds: Communication Breakdown

The Social Order Committee
of the American Friends Service
Committee held its first ‘‘week-
end workcamp”’ last weekend, This
particular camp, placing special
emphasis on the problems of youth
gangs in the ghettos, is located
at 39th and Fairmount streets
in Mantua, West Philadelphia, in
an area having certain unique prob-
lems, Funds and creativity are
being channeled into Mantua on
both sides of 39th Street towards
such groups as the much publicized
‘*Young Great Society,’ while this
area remains a stagnant and neg-
lected vacuum of hopelessness,

Friday and Saturday night dis-
cussions centered about this prob-
lem, what was being done and the
enormous amount of.problems that
still need to be solved. Friday,
James Beechem, a dynamic and
charming ex ‘boxer who is now
working for MCP, Mantua Com-
munity Planning, led the discus-
sion on the effects Black Power
was having on youth and the com-
munity as a whole, replacing the

‘everybody for himself?’ attitude
of the past with one of black co-
operation,

Saturday was spent on specific

work, projects, the object of which
was to work with, not for, com-
munity members and in the pro-
cess establish a certain amount
of white-black communication. In
‘none of the cases, however, was

the idea] reached as discussions .

with two ex-gang members em-
phasized that evening,

A bitter, and frustrated young
father pointed out that painting
over crumbling walls and wall-
paper doesn’t help anyone. Ac-
cording to him it just makes slum
dwellers lazier while fostering
a phony sense of self-righteous-
ness amongst the people whocame
in, that through their small con-
tribution they have opened the
'. way to understanding and com-
munication,

The two young Blacks gradually

naive illusions about how simply

=the problems could be solved,

They countered the campers at
every attempt made todefend their
position and the sincerity of their
liberalism, . All efforts at com -
munication seemed impossible, the
Blacks were too bitter, the work
campers too naive or unable to
get across their real desire to
understand and learn.

Finally a young Quaker girl,

naive exuberance with which she

four class representati from
each hall, the campuevelliieg offi-

cérs of Undergrad, Self Gov and

the Big Six, the hall presidents

speaking on a givenpoint, Visitors

should notify the chairman of
Legislature (Judy Liskin, Pem

The issues to be discussed are
the drinking and dress rules ofthe
Self-Gov constitution, Bothissues
were brought up last spring by
student petitions.® The dress
petition asks students to consider
eliminating the rule that requires
the wearing of skirts to classes,
The change in the drinking rule
as originally proposed asks the
student body to consider twoalter-
native ways to allow drinking on
campus by those of legal age; in
the halls, or in a designated room,
probably in the College Inn.

The exact agenda for Legislature

Sunday morning, workcampers
visited the Magistrates court, Al-
though the Magistrate appeared
relatively sensitive, especially to
the problems of the young people
who came before him, the court-
room scene for the most part,
demonstrated little respect for
the law. The representative of the
District Attorney spent a good
deal of his time looking out at
the girls in the court room or
joking with the magistrate, the
police or the defendents, Cases
did not appear to be taken ser-
iously, almost everyone being dis-

One case in particular provided

the court with a good deal of
disheartening entertainment, A
woman was brought in charged with
running a numbers racket, proof
being a notebook full of number
' patterns quite obviously for that
purpose. However, her lawyer
quite cleverly got her trial dis-

was no definitive proof what the
numbers were for and to him they
appeared to be Bible verses,

Viewpoint



Perhaps you have seen the posters on campus
the last few days. Or maybe you’ve been struck
by ‘the bright orange “Boycott Grapes’’ buttons
that have been cropping up everywhere. Maybe

you’ve even attended a lecture on grapes at Hav--

erford.

What’s all the fuss? The fervor is ‘‘La Causa’’
of the 5,000,000 Mexican-Americans living in the
southwestern area of these United States. What
is ‘‘La Catisa’’? Most immediately ‘‘La Causa’”’
is the grape strike being waged in California and
throughout the nation by Cesar Chavez and the United

Farm Workers of America. Their action is being: .-

taken against the California Grape Growers. The
thrust of their activity is centered in Delano,
Calif. , the heart of the grape country.

The strike is based .on the economic needs of
the farm workers to organize their labor to avoid
exploitation by growers.’ The majority of workers
are not schooled in the ways of labor, and if they
are forced to remain unorganized, they face the
natural abuse of grower-labor needs.

do not want the paternalism of the rancher;
we do not want the contractor; we do not want
charity at the price of our dignity. We want to
be equal with all the working men in the nation;
we want a just wage, better working conditions,
a decent future for our children. To those who
_ oppose us, be they ranchers, police, politicians,
~ or speculators, we say that we are going to con-
tinue fighting until we die, or we win.”?

‘‘La Causa” is very real to the workers of
Delano. For more than three years now they
have waged their campaign. They have marched;
they have been hungry; they have been attacked
by the police; they have been subjected toviolence.
Their opponents have even crossed them up legally
with staff upon staff of full-time lawyers. Grape
production is a multi-million dollar industry. The
‘workers are poor. They must rely upon the sup-
port of their amigos. They relied upon Robert
Kennedy. They rely upon the personal courage

tions; it is essentially unquestion-

Discussion Not Enough?

As a perception which brought
the discussion of apathy down to
earth, one student insisted that
discussion was not enough to dis-
pel apathy or to divert old ways of
thinking. She illustrated with the
example of Columbia, where, in
confronting concrete issues, and
with their own experience, students
became sharply aware of the nature
of their university, of their con-
nection with the people of Harlem,
and of ‘their ‘‘commonness’”’ with
other students.

In general, suggestions, about
the causes and underlying pare

mained a sharing of experience
from which to build a more con-
crete and a deeper understand-

THE COLLEGE NEWS



New Directors Reorganize
Bureau of Recommendations

The Bureau of Recommenda-

tions has a brand-new staff this
year. Mrs. Marcella Congdon, for-
mer head of the placement bureau
at Connecticut College for Women,
has replaced Mrs, Louise Cren-
shaw as director of the Bureau,
Miss Lila Gault,-a °68 graduate
of Connecticut College, is the new
assistant director.
"Mrs, Congdon left Connecticut
College because her husband works
in the Philadelphia area. Through
a friend at Smith, she learned of
the Bryn Mawr position which she
now occupies,

Most of her time, Mrs, Congdon
has discovered, is used in place-
-ment of seniors and graduate stu-
dents, and in employnient-of non-
‘academic college personnel, She
also counsels and encourages BMC
alumnae who, after several years
of marriage, wish to return to the
working world.

Working with the undererad’?
uates, Miss Gault is introducing
innovations to the Bureau, A re-
form in the baby-sitting system,
which monopolized most of her

predecessor’s time, was her first.

McCarthy Sweeps

Choice ’68 Survey

Although little more than cur-
iosities now, the following are the
results of Choice ‘68, Time maga-
zine’s collegiate referendtim on
presidential’ preference and vital
issues, administered last April 24,
Unfortunately, Alliance received
these results too late to be publish-
ed in the final issue of last se-
mester’s COLLEGE NEWS.

On a national basis, Eugene Mc-
Carthy won Choice ‘68 with 285,988
(28.07%) first-place votes. The late

‘Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was second

with 213,832 (20.99%) and Richard
M. ‘Nixon third with 197,167
(19.35%) first-place tallies. There-
were 31,775 write-ins, of which
Vice President Hubert Humphrey
.Teceived 18,535, or about 2% ofthe
total vote. The high scorers nation-
ally for second and third places
were McCarthy, Robert Kennedy,
Nelson Rockefeller; and Rocke-
feller, McCarthy and Kennedy, re-
spectively.

Here at Bryn Mawr, McCarthy
won Choice ‘68 with 296 votes
(66.22%). Rockefeller, with 66
votes (14.77%), and Robert
Kennedy. with 40 votes (8.95%),
scored closest ‘in the first-place
tallies. Second-place went to Ken-
nedy, Rockefeller. and McCarthy,
respectively, while Lindsay,
Rockefeller and Kennedy ranked
highest for third-place.

On the referenda questions, 18%
of the national sample voted for
immediate withdrawal and 45% for
phased reduction of military effort
in Vietnam; hence, roughly 62%
favored some sort of reduction.
About 7% favored. the current
policy, 9% chose ‘to, increase it,
and 21% wanted on ‘‘all out’ mili-
tary effort.. —

Bryn Mawr’s responses to the

referenda questions followed simi-
lar general patterns. Regarding
military action in Vietnam, 52.11%
(235 students) favored a reduction
in effort and 42.13% (190 students)
advocated complete withdrawal,
meaning that 94.24% of Bryn Mawr
students who voted sought a de-
escalation ‘of the war effort. The
remaining votes were distributed
as follows: ‘‘all out’? effort -- 11
votes (2.44%), maintain current
levels -- 9 votes (2%), and increase
present levels -- 6 votes (1.33%),

Anyone wishing to examine the
complete national and Bryn Mawr
tallies for Choice ‘68, as well as
the regional, age, and party af-
filliation analyses, will find them

cond floor, College Inn, opposite
the Undergrad Room),

project.

A box of cards outside Miss
Gault’s office now lists every
available baby-sitting job, Any

student may use the file to obtain’

a job. She then calls the parent
to confirm the baby-sit and make
transportation arrangements,:
There is no longer a required
sign-up list of sitters, The only
current restriction is a limitation
of weeknight jobs,

Miss Gault plans to spend her
newly-created free time contacting
employers about part-time and
summer jobs. Several weeks ago,
she descended on the Ville, asking
‘businessmen if they would like to
‘hire Bryn Mawr students,
discovered few had realized that
the students were interested, and
she returned with many new part-
time opportunities,

Standardization of the wage scale
for campus jobs and up-dating the
‘Bureau’s library are Miss Gault’s
other projects, Lining one wall
of her office are clipboards con-
taining information on careers,

In addition to the up-dated li-
brary of the Bureau, the weekly
newsletter also makes jobinform-
ation available to students, The
newsletter has been expanded, and
Mrs. Congdon is considering send-
ing it to all students if there is a
demand for this service,

To aid placement counseling, the
Bureau of- Recommendations wants
to sponsor. talks by alumane on
their careers, Mrs, Congdon also
hopes to increase the number of
employer representatives visit-
ing the campus and talking to un-
dergraduates,' This projéct also
depends upon student response,

Speaking enthusiastically “of to».
day’s students, Mrs, Congdon feels
that they are much more intensely
involved in the world than were
students of her generation, and
finds ‘them expressing their con-
cern to her in the frequent query,
‘What can I do to help?’’

Although Mrs. Congdon speaks
of Bryn Mawr students as ‘lovely,
capable, interested i young women, "

Three Philadelphia-area col-
leges -- Bryn Mawr, Haverford

lished a $796,000 joint computing
‘center,

The center will be mainly for
student instruction and for faculty
and student research. Human-
ists and social scientists, as well
as natural scientists, will use the
‘new facility.

When the new center is in full
operation and. the computing de-
mands of the three. colleges are
determined, officials will invite
other local schools -- colleges
and secondary schools -- to share
the computing facilities, »

This will mark the first time
in the United States that a group
of small. colleges has joined to
form a computing center which will

then be shared with secondary and’

other schools.

The project is supported by-the
Federal government with grants
totaling $499, 800 made through
the Natiowal Science Foundation.

Some of these federal funds

“ will help cover operating costs

over the first three years.
Computer Pioneer

Creation of the center also was
supported by a gift from the late
T. Kite Sharpless, a Haverford
alumnus who was a pioneer in
computer technology, and by other
funds from all three colleges.

The main, jointly owned com-
puting equipment is located at
Haverford, and the center’s full-
time director is headquartered
there. Smaller computers at
Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Swarth-
more handle simple local tasks,
while referring more ambitious
computing projects to the main
equipment. Initially, the colleges
will staff the center with up to 10
persons,

of the nation’s- leading experts on
graphic data processing.

College officials say today’s stu-
dent: is likely to find a ‘‘computer
world’’ waiting after graduation;
so they see a mounting need for
students to be at home with com-
puters and to be familiar with the
-many possibilities which they offer
to reduce the amount of routine
work done by humans. :

In classrooms and laboratories,
the computer is used to speed
routine calculations, thus giving
the student more time to consider
the meaning of the results.

Tenths of a Second

Working by hand on a desk cal-
culator, for example, it takes an
experienced operator approxi-
mately 30 hours to determine the
wave function of one electron in a
specific atom or molecule. Thenew
computing center can produce the
same calculation in a few tenths
of a second. =

Bryn Mawr, Haverford and
Swarthmore all place heavier~
than-usual emphasis . on indepen-
dent study and research as an im-
portant aspect of undergraduate
education in all disciplines. Stu-
dents will use the new computing
center to speed and broaden this
work, In addition, many faculty
members on the three campuses
will be aided by the new center.

Use of the facility will not be
limited to the natural sciences
such as astronomy, biology, chem-
istry, engineering and physics.
Social scientists, such as sociolo-
gists, psychologists, economists
and political scientists, are
already major users of the exist-
ing smaller and slower facilities
at the three colleges. They are
expected to use the new center
heavily.

Bryn Mawr and Haverford have
operated a joint computing facility
for seven years, “and Swarthmore

has had its own for four years, -

although neither unit was nearly
as large or as fast as equipment
in the new joint center.

A new system has been put into

according.to Vicky Yablonsky, film
coordinator, The movies are being
provided by a non-profit organi-

a single flat rate as in the past,
but by a percentage of the week-

In .an_ attempt to ‘‘make every
week a valuable experience,’’
Vicky has tried to be aware of
origins, nationalities and film

‘first run’’ movies plus a few
*¢specials,’’”:

Collaborating with the Haverford
film series managers, Vicky has
cut out repetitions and considers
that the bi-college offerings pro-
vide a- ‘‘good balance” of film
types.

Because of certain regulations
set up by this new non-profit
film agency, there will) be no
season tickets available, Instead,
students will pay on a show -by-
show basis, either in cash or on
payday.

Vicky explained, ‘‘We will be
certain of getting better movies
this way. With a single payment
for a whole series of films, as in
the past, we would get a few good
ones, but mostly fillers.’

Some of the upcoming features
will be ‘‘The Gospel According to
St. Matthew,” ‘Darling,’
‘**Eclipse,’’ ‘‘Loves of a Blond,’
‘*The Magician,’ ‘‘ Through a Glass

Ex-Addicts Portray Selves.
In Revealing Drug Drama

Sometime between now and Oct.
20, you owe it to yourself to go
see ‘‘The Concept’’ at the Theater
of the Living Arts in Philadelphia,
This sounds like an advertisement
but it is a sincere statement be-
cause the play provides a unique
and fascinating experience for its
audience,

The very structure of the play
is unique. Its cast consists of
amateur actors, all former drug
Its script is their tes-
timonial to Daytop, the community
in which they made the transition
to ex-addict. Instead of giving
individual profiles, the program.
tells that: ‘Together the three
casts (they. rotate. weekly) have
experienced 176 years of heroin
addiction. They have spent a total
of 41 years in jails and similar
institutions. -As a group, they

_have completed 32 drug-free years
“at Daytop: ‘The average age Of our

cast is 25.” This is all you
really need to know of them from
“the first, “since in the course
of. the evening you get to know
the people behind the characters
better than any playbill could des-
cribe them.

There is ‘a written script, but
it is drawn directly from impro-
visations and retains an informal,
spontaneous air. The bare plot
follows a young addict from his
downfall in society through his
rehabilitation at Daytop. But the
cast isn’t on the stage to enter-
tain you. The performers are there

‘ to relate to-you their experience.

‘It is one from which not only a
drug addict can profit.

Brass Quintet Opens
BMC Music Series

The New York Brass Quintet
will open the 1968-69 series spon-

' sored by the Friends of Music of

Bryn Mawr College on Wednesday, '
Oct. 30, at 8:30 p.m. in Goodhart
Hall.

The group, which combines two
trumpets, a trombone, French horn
and tuba, will feature brass music

\ from the Renaissance through Con -

mporary. periods. Since it was
ormed 10 years ago, the quintet
has taken its unique sound around
the world,

In a 1967 spring tour arranged
by the State Department, the quintet
performed in 20 cities and at
four music festivals in Europe.
The members of the group are
Robert Nagel and Allen Dean, trum-
pets, Thompson Hanks, tuba, Paul
Ingraham, French horn, and John
Swallow, trombone.

This year, in addition to the
regular Friends of Music programs
there will be two small concerts
at the college on Sunday after-
noons. The first, on November 24,
-will feature Medieval Renaissance
and Baroque music for voices,,
recorders, viols and harpsichord;'
presented by the Collegium
Musicum of Brooklyn College,
under the direction of Jean Hakes,
formerly a soloist with the New
York Pro Musica.

The second concert on February

ary French sonatas for violin and

criticize the pantomimed reactions
of the drug user in the beginning
of ‘‘The Concept.’’ . But the real
message of the play lies in ac-
tions after drug use has been
forsaken.

The goal at Daytop seems to be
a group effort (of only former
addicts) toward a personal recon-
ciliation of each individual with
his society. This is achieved
through constant interaction ‘be-
tween members of the community
(in this case the actors in ‘The
Concept’’) and also a type of emo-
tional bull session called an
‘‘Encounter.’? which would benefit
anyone who is feeling hung up
with the world around him,

The title “The Concept’’ is an
amazingly apt one. What. is
presented at the Theater of the

Living Arts is a new concept in.

living “by m¥ans ° 6f ‘a ‘new concept
in theater. The theater is being
used by these people to plead their
cause, to break down the communi-
cation barriers, which initially
drove them to drug use. But the
cause isn’t pleaded in an.elabor ate
allegory aS many “angry young
playwrights’? have done; it is
straight-forward, unpretentious in
its lack .of professionalism and
very moving.

The experience of ‘‘The Con-
cept?’ won’t appeal to your intel-
lect; in places-it may insult it;
but at the end of two hours, cli-
maxed by what amounts to an
actual test of your attitudes, your
inhibitions and prejudices, you will
come out a little more enlightened
about yourself and a little more
hopeful about the mixed-up world
we live in.

Laie — Grape will nia at The bocomas on Rock Festival Oct. 19.

Cet ieegapesa*

Quaker City Rock F estival 1968
Calls All With-It Teeny Boppers

There I was, all excited about
meeting. the Moby Grape at the
press conference for the Quaker
City Rock Festival. {I never had
the opportunity to be a teeny-
bopper when I was in high school,
but last December, after seeing
the MG perform in Philadelphia,
teeny bopperism hit me full force.
Any mention’ of the group, or
anything pertaining to it, would
trigger ecstatic sighs, if you were
fortunate. If youwere unfortunate,
it would trigger a dissertation on
the various aspects of Bob Mosley,

the gyoup’s extremely attractive
bass/fplayer. ,

Looking Cool

When I arose Saturday morning,
I considered carefully what I should
wear. Since this was a press
conference, [decided that pants
were too informal, but I wanted
to make a good impression. I
wanted to look cool; but not aggres-
sively so.- What Iended up wearing
was just what happened to be both
respectable and clean simul-
taneously.

Having passed « the stages ‘of
preparation and transportation, I
was surprised and dismayed to
discover that most of the people
at the conference were repre-
senting high school publications.
They were either pitifully awkward
or obnoxiously hip, and both sorts
frightened me, particularly the
latter.

The first order of business was
the distribution of ‘‘press kits,’’
which included photos of the per-
formers, some xeroxed notes on
the festival and a- lengthy
biography of one of the groups,
Each -kit was different, so that
the time spent waiting for the
speakers was used in the trading
of photos. I traded Ramsey Lewis
for the Moby Grape, and Dionne
Warwick for Buddy Guy.

Finally, one of the proprietors .

of the Electric Factory appeared
to give us the details of the Rock.
Festival. The concert is to be

held at the Spectrum on: Oct... 19.
It will begin at-7 p.m. and con-

~ tinue for approximately five hours,

because each one of the five groups
playing will have a * complete 40-
45 minute set. There will be
two intermissions in which your
ears may relax. The stars are
the Vanilla Fudge, a ‘‘dramatic
acid-rock’’ sound; Big Brother

‘and the Holding .Company with
representing the -

Janis « Joplin,
‘chard rock’? sound; the Chambers
Brothers, representing the mix-
ture of rock, soul and blues; Buddy
Guy, a really fine traditional blues
guitarist; and the Moby Grape,
whose “sound is a fusion of: all
the above. It looks to be the
best rock concert ever held in-
doors and certainly the best rock
concert ever held in Philadelphia.
Tickets are $4, $5, and $6 and
are available by mail order from
the Electric Factory, located at
22nd and ArchSt. (They are also
available at various other spots
which I shall not list here, but
call me or the Factory if you
think you’ll be in Philly and will
have a chance to pick them up
personally.)

‘DJ Endorsement

After we were given the details,
the disc jockey Herman wasintro-
duced. I had never heard of him,
but then I am not at all familiar
with Philadelphia “radio, besides
which, he works for an FM Station,
and my cheap radio only gets AM
when it works at all. . He told us
how =GROOOOVY the concert is
going to be.

Only Jerry Miller, the. lead
guitar of the Grape, showed up
to answer questions. Most of the
questions asked were assinine,

‘e.g, What inspired you to become

a.rock and roll musician? Every
once and a while, I asked a ques-
tion about the Grape or about some
other groups, but while I couldn’t,

I spent my time drawing a very.

intricate dragon, which I chris-
tened Aloysius after asking the guy

in “welt of me how to spell it.
I had never drawn adragon before,
but Iam tremendously fond of them,
and was quite pleased with my
results. I also drew a huge
paisle, (which is the singular of

paisly in my. mind). and lots of **

flowers. Sporadically, when some-
thing of actual interest was said,
I wrote it in the margin,

Doors-Stop -

All that might be of general
-interest was the fact that Jerry
Miller thought that the Doors were
a giant hype--in other words--a
put-on. This made mevery happy,
since I do not particularly. like
the Doors.
the Grape had moved up into the
mountains, and later explained that
one is more rélaxed there, and
thus.can make better music, Back
to nature and all that. Most of
the rest of what he saig was in
answer to inane questions, and

therefore had little chance of being’

of any. interest. These answers
simply gave me time to improve
on Aloysius. He’s quite fine now.
And then it was all over. Jerry
Miller smiled and said good bye,
and I sighed sadly as I left, for
I hadn’t met Bob Mosley. Some-
how, however, it didn’t matter so
much anymere, because I found
out .that almost every girl, has a
crush on him. That decreased his
charm a. bit. But I still like
him, and I am still an enthu-
siastic Grape fan, and I definitely.
am going to the Quaker City Rock
Festival, if I have to crawl.
