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
meipped the work campers of all

®

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,
thoroughly disillusioned with the
naive exuberance with which she

cuss the drinking and dress rules

physics lecture room, rather than

viously scheduled,

four class representati from
each hall, the campuevelliieg offi-

cérs of Undergrad, Self Gov and

the Big Six, the hall presidents

dress the meeting after the voting
representatives have finished
speaking on a givenpoint, Visitors

should notify the chairman of
Legislature (Judy Liskin, Pem
East) of their intentions to attend
before Wednesday,

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
will be posted sometime this week-
end, The representatives willalso
