Parents’ Day Program Offers
“~~
a:
Parents’ Day
The varied program of Bryn
Mawr’s annual Parents’ Day (plan-
ned by a committee of students and
faculty members) wil! give parents
of Mawrters an opportunity to meet
faculty and administration, see the
campus, and get a glimpse of both
the everyday life and the creative
efforts of students, Saturday, April
10, between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.
A morning coffee and afternoon
lectures will allow parents to meet
faculty members and also to see
them in-action. President McBride
will speak to an assembly at 11:30
in Goohart.
Throughout the day there will
be time’ for guided or informal
tours of the campus. (Parents and
students are, however, requested
to stay out of the classroom side
of Taylor between 9 and 12, since
language examinations will be in
progress,)
Campus guides will leave with
Erdman Open for Visitation;
New Dorm Enters Final Stages
As part of Parents’ Day activi-
ties, visiting parents may tour
the nearly completed Erdman Hall,
Bryn Mawr’s new dormitory.
Interior furnishing and landscap-
ing are among the only remain-
ing steps before Erdman opens
for occupancy this fall.
The dorm, designed by architect
Louis Kahn, is planned in a triple
diamond arrangement. It features
interior natural lighting effects.
At present an interior decorator
is preparing the public rooms.
Special furniture designed to fit the
bedrooms has already been
ordered.
Each bedroom of Erdman boasts
the Bryn Mawr necessity, a win-
dow seat.

windows or in a sideways position.
Desks are like those in Rhoads,
with one improvement. — Side
shelves pull out for another piece
of student apparatus, typewriters.
For more wall space, bookcases
will be higher and narrower than
.those in other halls.
All rooms will have white walls.
Closets are described as wide
and deep. The curtain issue is
still undecided - original plans
call for identical curtains in all
rooms to give a uniform exterior
view, but students are-protesting
their right to select curtains ac-
cording to individual tastes.
;
a
These fixtures are
A possible compromise is the
use of double sets, with inside
curtains chosen by students but
hidden from the outside by’
standard curtains,
Most rooms are singles, but
there are some end suites con-
Sisting of two bedrooms and a
living room. Adjoining singles may
also be converted to bedroom-~
sitting room arrangements if the
girls so desire.
The cost for Erdman singles is
the minimum rate of $1150. Suites
carry the maximum rate of $1350.

Vinee
We welcome parents to their day at Bryn Mawr -- a taste of the four
year mystery to which their daughters hopefully retreat every fall and
from which they return exhausted but regretful every spring.
A residential college, to quote a familiar phrase, is more than an
education; it is an educational experience. We study here, but we also
build our existence around a nucleus of dorm, library and classrooms.
Even the friendly Ville becomes a part of the Outside World that some-
how lives its life without paper deadlines and reserve reading.
One day is scarcely sufficient to introduce you to all our haunts and
pastimes, but we can.try. We'll present you to our professors; take you
to sample lectures, show you a student production, and give you campus
tours.
We don’t claim that this is a representative segment of Bryn Mawr.
Unless you have seen a freshman corridor the night before six-week
papers are due, or have tip-toed through the library reading room during
exam week, you haven’t seen it all.
Still, we’re delighted with the opportunity to bring our two worlds of
home and school together, however briefly. We hope you’ll depart with
at least a shred of comprehension of the Bryn Mawr way of life -- and
we hope you enjoy your day,
Exams
The student curriculum committee has been the source of an unusual
amount of concern all year. The change in the system of election of its
chairman was brought about largely becauSe it was felt that a campus-
wide discussion of the purpose and goals of the committee was necessary
if it was to be of any real value to the undergraduate body. During the
—— dinner system the candidates offered anumber of proposals by which the
committee could fulfill its function.
But these proposals were in the main suggested for next year. In
the meantime, the present committee concerned itself with a project
which it believed should be brought up and considered immediately. This
project was self-scheduled exams.
Right before vacation a detailed plan, Siaitiiding methods for execution,
was presented to the faculty curriculum committee and discussed. Al-
though no decision was taken, it seemed to be the consensus of the
| LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Criticism -
To the Editor:
We would like to point out to
the mysterious ‘‘admiring fresh-
man” that the principal aim of
criticism is to offer constructive
advice on the problem-at-hand,
This aim is not accomplished by
only satirizing the flaws, if they
can be called such, without offer-
ing -a remedy for these faults.
Secondly, a criticism must pre-
sent the facts honestly - a cri-
terion which ‘‘the admirer’ did
not meet, The discussions she
criticized, which havg also taken
place in past years, were intended
to give some idea of dach candi-
date’s qualifications. When it was
seen that this purpose was not being
accomplished, the discussions
were ended. The failure of the
discussions is no reason for con-
demning the attempt to use them.
The ‘admiring. freshman’’
seems to deliberately ignore those
‘things which might invalidate her
criticisms, The ‘‘voice from the
crowd’? who said, ‘*That’s my
roommate,’? succeeded her re-
mark with a statement concerning
her roommate’s qualifications for
office. Almost any*freshman will
say that class meetings have great-
ly improved since the beginning
of the. year. : .
Amusing mistakes should be re-
.garded as just that, not as faults
which ruin the effect ‘ot the meeting.
It is only when class members
fasten on these mistakes, ignoring
the organized handling of business,
that chaos results, This chaos is
caused by the actions of the class,
not the officers, who cannot operate
without our support.
In conclusion, we would like to
thank the, class officers for their
effective representation of the
class of ’68, They have carried
out their responsibility in every
agea of campus life, :

Baiting?
To the Editor:
Re your’ editorial entitled
*tRights’’ in the ‘*College News’’
of March 19, 1965 -- you have
several uncomplimentary com-
‘ments to make about the memorial
assembly called on Bryn Mawr
Campus about the death of Rev.
Reeb. You talk about the ‘‘Dis-
turbing minority ... ardent agita-.
tors ... (who) promote more vio-
lent action ...’’
‘However, nowhere in your news-
paper do you report whatwasSAID
by these “ardent agitators.’’ You
do not even report that this meeting
was even held. This kind of
(probably unintentional) baiting,
without ‘accurate accounts of what
was said and in what context itwas
said, is unforgivable when found
in a respectable newspaper.
This editoriak may be areaction
to the rather intense and- vocal
liberalism of some of your so-
styled ‘‘not the most innocent...
ardent agitators,’’ on the campus.
Or it may be simply an attempt to
take a safe stand. Of course,
you do not want to disturb your
readers by wholeheartedly en-
dorsing demonstrations and re-
quests that Federal Troops be sent
to Alabama. This is- admittedly a
radical approach,
Whatever your reasons ‘for the
editorial, please do not cast as-
Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, Tramp
Students Are Marching Again
by Marion Scoon
Mysterious messages have ap-
peared lately all over campus.
They generally read, ‘March On
Washington to End The War in
Vietnam,” or **Literature on Viet-
nam Here,” or *‘Sign Up For Bus.”’
What is the MEANING of all this?
The answer is simple; The Na-
tional Students for a democratic
Society (SDS), in cooperation with
persions upon conscious agitators
(who incidentally are much safer
than non-conscious agitators, who
simply explode in passionate
monologue and are impossible
to talk sensibly with) without pre-
senting their statements to your
readers.
Sincerely,
Marion Scoon ’68
Irresponsible? _
To the Editors:
Probably the first mass meeting
of its sort since the time’of the
Suffragette movement was held
on the Bryn Mawr campus on
Friday, March 12, Over one
hundred people came including
several professors. Few events
here attract that many people, but
there was no article about it in
THE COLLEGE NEWS of March 19.
The only mention of the meet-
ings was in an editorial entitled
**Progress.’’ This piece said that
**... a disturbing minority, not
the most innocent of whom were
ARDENT AGITATORS, seemed to
treat the gathering as an excuse
to promote MORE VIOLENT AC-
TION ...%’ (emphasis is ours)
We were there and we neither
saw any ‘‘ardent agitators’’ nor
heard any attempts to promote
*‘more violent action.’’? Without
an article reporting the events,
it is impossible for us to know
to what the editorial refers. We
feel it misrepresents the gather-
ing. We resent, as we are sure
the others who were there do,
the irresponsibility of THE COL-
LEGE NEWS on this matter.
Margaret Levi ’68
Alice Beadle ’°67
The editorial under attack did
not mean to imply that either the
organizers of the Mdtch 12 me-
morial or a vast majority of the.
listeners were lacking in
respect. It said so. It only ques-
tioned the attitudes of a few peo-
ple who made no public state-
ments of any kind, but Whose
attitude’ in listening disturbed - °
us. This is a fine point to. make
and perhaps the choice of words
was unfortunate — ed.

and planning has largely been done already by the student curriculum
committee. Its plan includes all the details of adminigtration, and even
examples of the necessary printed forms that could be used. Very
little. additional work would be required to put the plan into operation.
It seems a shame that such..a.worth-while idea should die or be
indefinitely shelved when so little is required to set it up. It could
still be done, if not for this spring, then certainly for next January.
A Good Sign
We applaud the decision of the faculty, made at their last meeting,
to abolish the vacation registration procedure. Many of us have felt for
a long time that this requirement was the last vestige of pre-honor sys-
tem rulings; its removal allows a complete honor system to function
at Bryn Mawr. Four years ago, mandatory class attendance became
obsolete and the student was left to decide for herself whether or not to

To Study Abroad
In Europe, Japan
Bryn Mawr students are going
abroad to study. Several sopho-

universities in France, Germany,
England, Switzerland, and Japan.
Most of the girls are going in
regular Junior Year Abroad pro-
grams, but several are taking
a year off to study independently.
Germany seems to have the
most irresistable call to the rov-
ing student. Under the auspices of

Borley and Cynthia Walk are go-
ing to Munich and Penny Milbouer
to Freiburg where she will live
in an international dormitory and
take Gerinan courses at the Uni-
versity and special language
courses with American profes-
, SOTS.
Also going to Germany is a
native-born German, Sibyl Klee-
man, who is bound for the archae-
ology department of the University
of Mainz,
France is also attracting “her

H’ford News Erroneously Notes
| Merger of Economics Faculties
by Darlene Preissler
Contrary to the statement made
in an article of the March 19 issue
of the HAVERFORD NEWS, the
Bryn Mawr and Haverford econom-
ics department have not
‘tmerged.’? Another erroneous
sentence contained in the article
was that Professor Holland Hunter
will ‘“‘chair the new department.”’
Although both of the above cita-
tions from the article are false
assumptions, it is true that the
economics departments of Bryn
Mawr and Haverford have recently
decided to ‘‘federate.’’ Hardly a
move toward uniting both depart,
ments under one head, however,
each college will retain its own
economics chairman: Professor
Morton Baratz of Bryn Mawr and
professor Hunter of Haverford.
The chief purpose of the federation,
in the words of Professor Hunter,
is to ‘‘make joint use of faculty
strengths on each side while pre-
serving the flexibility and indepen-
dence that we all value.’’ .
Several significant changes will
result from. the federation, how-
ever. In addition to the professors
currently teaching economics at
Haverford and Bryn Mawr, an
assistant professor, George I.
Treyz, has been jointly appointed
by the two departments, The first «
such joint appointee, he may beone _

of several in the future.
Another change will be the elimi-
nation of all duplicate courses
above the introductory level, that
is, courses in economics on the
same topic now offered at both Bryn
Different
courses, probably four at each col-
lege, will be taught. Thus; most
classes will have mixed enroll-
- ments and there will most likely be
a larger number of students in each
class, Only the introductory
courses will be separate; and in
spite of certain variances in text-
books, these courses will be very
similar at both colleges.
Two other changes not directly
connected with the departments’
decision . to federate will also
occur. Discontinuing the comp con-
ference ineconomics at Bryn Mawr
will be one. In place of this course
previously required for all econ-
omics majors, those majoring in
that subject will instead be offered
an intermediate economic theory
course.
At Haverford, Philip W. Bell,
formerly a full-time professdr of
economics, will assume the title
of Adjunct Professor and instruct
in only one course per semester. A
lecturer, Mrs, Chiou-Shuang Yan,
will teach the remainder of the time
which Professor Bell would pre-
viously have taught, Another
Haverford professor not yet men-~<~
tioned will be Professor Howard. .

At their last meeting prior to
spring vacation, members of the
faculty voted to eliminate ‘‘calen-

times students must register in
their classes (i.e. the last day
before and the first day after
vacations),
The ruling will go into effect
next fall, since there are no more
vacations this year.
The voting was not unanimous,

Two Professors
Win Guggenheims
Two members of the faculty,
Hugues Leblanc, professor in
philosophy, and Mrs, Willard King,
chairman of the Spanish depart-
ment, are recipients of Guggen-
‘heim fellowships.
Mr. Leblanc will spend this sum-
mer and the first part of his year
proofreading his book on logic,
TECHNIQUES OF DEDUCTIVE
INFERENCE,
Then he will travel to southern
France,-and wind up in Italy and
Spain for the summer of 1966. His
main project will be to complete
his book, A STUDY OF GENTZEN’S
CALCULI OF -SEQUENCE, - for
which the grant was awarded.
Mrs. King will use her Guggen-
heim grant to study the works of a
17th century Spanish playwright,
Juan Ruiz de Alarc6n, and will be
absent from the college from
February, 1966. to the end of Jan-
uary, 1967.
Alarcén is an enigmatic literary
figure who has never been exten-
sively studied. Born in Mexico, he
moved to Spain at the age of 20.
His 24 plays, written in Spain,
contain no mention of his life in
Mexico or of the New World.
Critics offer conflicting inter-
pretations of this feature of his
works. Some attribute the special
qualities of his plays to his Mexi-
can background, although Alarcon
himself never directly refers to it.
The opposing school claims that no
single aspect of his art can be
explained by his Mexican experi-
ence.
In her study, Mrs. King hopes
to discover more of Alarcén and of
the structure of his works.
Calendar, Exams
Prime Proposals
For Curriculum
At the March 22 joint meeting of
the faculty and undergraduate Cur -
riculum Committees, discussion
centered on two topics: the cal-
endar of the academic year andthe
possibility of self-scheduled ex-
aminations.
The major proposal was to
lengthen the first semester by add-
ing days in September and omitting
the entire Thanksgiving vacation as
well as two days of the Christmas
vacation. Should this plan be put
into effect, any of three changes
could result: (1) No classes after
Christmas, one week for reading,
one and one-half weeks for exams,
and a three-day holiday; (2)-Three
days of classes after Christmas,
one-half week,for reading, one
week for exams, and a one-week
holiday; or’ (3) One week for
reading, one week for exams, and
also one week for a holiday. In each
case, midsemester quizzes would
be ‘before Thanksgiving and papers
due at the.end of the Christmas
vacation.
Discussion of the second topic,
that of self-scheduled exams under
a system similar to the one of
Haverford, emphasized as one
point in favor of the arrangement ,
that it would allow a great decrease
in both tension and exhaustion.
Also, such a system would give all
students an equal opportunity to
study for their exams, Inregardto
the educational values of such self-
discipline, comments were both
—! favorable and unfavorable.

Students Protesting Vietnam War
Attend Teach-In at Swarthmore
by Edna Perkins
About fifty Bryn Mawr students
who attended a teach-in atSwarth-
more heard American policy in
Vietnam attacked as ‘‘outlawry’’
and ‘‘a failure,’’ and defended
as a ‘cautious’? policy leading
to ‘‘the independence of South Viet-
nam.”
The teach-in, an all night meet-
ing to consider the Vietnam war,
was conducted simultaneously at
Swarthmore, Temple, and Penn,
About 2500 students attended.
The first speaker, Helen Lamb,
a writer on Vietnam who has spent
two years in that country, called
our policy ‘‘a total failure’’ be-
cause it has intervened in a civil
war and attempted to ‘‘create a
country out of nothing.’’ She stated
that most of the Vietnamese people
still ‘want to reunite the north and
south. The present leader of the
north, Ho. Chi Minh, was a
nationalist leader with support
from Communists and non-Com-
munists alike. If Viet Nam were
reunited under Ho, she added,
nationalism would keep it in-
dependent of Red China. She added
that our present policy antagonizes
most Asians, including our allies.
After Mrs, Lamb’s address, the
assembly listened to the broad-
Ire Arises Over Eyer:
A Fable for Our Time
by Margery. Aronson
Once upon a time there was a
. men’s college on the Main Line,
Among the students at this college
was an individual who thought that
he could do things for his college
if he were elected president of
its governing body.
Yet, soon after the election of
this student, who proposed some
very idealistic concepts when he
campaigned, the realities and the
responsibilities of the officeholder
to his electorate became pain-
fully obvious, One’s .ideals had to
be compromised in many cases,
and forced moderation was not a
pleasant prospect. Moreover, the
constituency no longer seemed as
concerned with the issues as they
had seemed at the time of the
election,
Because the college’s traditidn
SAC to Evalute
Student. Opinions
In Questionnaire
As a result of the Social Ac-
tion Committee’s seminar series
on *tthe meaning of a liberal arts
education,’? members of the com-
mittee are preparing a question-
naire to assess student opinion
on problems facing the college
community,
One of the cabin of the ques-
‘tionnaire will be the academic
calendar. The committee is in-
terested in gathering suggestions
for changing the schedule. _ It
also hopes to find out the con-
sensus on.the possibility of in-
stituting a° reading period and
improving coordination with . the
Haverford calendar.
The questionnaire will also be
concerned with examination pro-
cedures and student -faculty re-
lations.
The Curriculum Committee has
submitted several specific ques-
tions on the future role of that
committee, and these quéstions
will be included in the SAC ques-
tionnaire. :
An important set of questions
will ask for opinions on the struc-
ture of the student government,
* and the possibility of changing
its system of representation or
making it more centralized. Un-
dergrad has considered creating
a committee similar to Haver-
ford’s Committee of Thirty-six,
which was initiated to gather stu-
dent opinion and suggest reforms.
Other topics on the question-
naire will include the possibilities
of meal exchanges and bus trans-
portation with Haverford. The
Social Action Committee also
hopes to gather opinion on student
employment on campus and sug-
gestions for reconstituting the food
advocated the student’s right to
speak before his colleagues in
open meeting, one day this pres-
ident stood up and began to dis-
cuss the college and. its faults,
After an oration of considerable
length, he announced his resigna-
tion and ceased to be the titular
leader of the college community,
This unexpected event shocked the
citizens of the men’s college, for
it created a situation hitherto
unprecedented, And everafter? Did
the former leader succeed in
stimulating the controversy which
he felt could and would produce
that which he had conceived? Or,
did he merely create a chaotic
situation from which nothing pos-
itive could result?
Although this ‘account reads as
fiction, it is factual, The names:
Haverford College’s Joe Eyer, re-
cently elected Students’ Council
President. The facts: at meeting,
Tuesday, April 6, 1965, Joe Eyer
spoke and concluded his talk with
his resignation, The results: a
mass meeting of the Haverford stu-
* dent body, at which the formal let-
ter of Eyer’s resignation was read
and an announcement was made
of procedure for a new election,
In addition to these two pronounce-
ments, members of the Council
presented three plans which Eyer
had spearheaded: a. plan for a
council of 36, a group composed
of volunteers to represent dorm
segments with .the purpose of ob-
taining a campus wide consensus
on any given issue; It was suggested
that Bryn Mawr establish a similar
organization; secondly, they pre-
sented a plan for a course system
of 5-5-4-4, based on the concept
that advanced courses necessarily
required more preparation than
lower level courses, providing for
more intensive work in the last
two years; thirdly, there was a
proposition for the elimination of
grades calling for. individual writ-
ten evaluations by professors and
incorporating each student’s self
evaluation,
Discussion by faculty and stu-
dents followed this presentation,
No decisions were reached, nor
was it clear, whether or not this
was a meeting of the council or
of the committee of 36.
This committee had been
presented as a suggestion and at
that time was without by-laws
or representation from all dorm
areas, Ex-Council president Har-
rison Spenser asked if the speakers
represented Council, The reply
alluded to the importance of the
issues presented and the relative
unimportance of who presented
the material,
«= The “blitzkrieg’’ nature of the
question and all its ramifications
has produced an emotion charged
issue. Its import is far-reaching,
affecting Bryn Mawr students as
well as those from Haverford.

Then he offered to enter ‘“un-

The assembly at Swarthmore
listened in grim silence as the
President justified his policies.
They laughed when he spoke of his
boyhood in Texas, and applauded
his general statements about
peace. But there was sarcasm
in the applause, as if they were
‘acknowledging an irony, not prais-
ing a policy.
The next speaker was Franz
Gross, Chairman of the Political
Science Department at Pennsyl-
vania Military College. He said
the -realities of politics forbid a
withdrawal now because of our
commitment.
Claire Wilcox, Chairman of the
Economics Department at Swarth-
more, said that a military victory
for us is unlikely, since we lack
the support of the peasants in
the south, Of the alternatives open
to us, he said, the policy just
set forth by the Presidentwas best
by being a combination of. ‘‘the
carrot and the stick,’? instead
of complete reliance on force.
He predicted that Vietnam will
have an independent Communist
government, and ‘‘we will ac-

speech ‘‘marked a great step for-
ward,’’ he said.
In answer to his contention that

Clark College Exchanges Find
Complacency on Rights Issue
by Tatty Gresham, '66
and Kitty Taylor, '67
During Spring Vacation we at-
tended Clark College, a small Ne-
gro liberal arts school in Atlanta, ©
Our purpose was to learn some-
thing about higher education for
Negroes in the South, and about
the reactions of the students to
their situation. The academic qual-
ity of Clark seemed to us only
average. Surprisingly, the general
atmosphere was primarily col-
legiate and was not overshadowed
by the civil rights issue. .
The classes we attended were
‘for the most part large and infor-
mal, Oral reports, student ques-
tions, and discussions played a far
greater part than at Bryn Mawr,
where the lecture reigns supreme.
Students did not hesitate to express
their opinions or confusion, Rather
than diversified supplementary
reading, most courses employed a
textbook, Quite often the lectures
were based entirely upon the text.
Numerous quizzes were given,
often composed of picayune mul-
tiple choice or identification ques-
tions again based upon the text.
Although there was a heavy em-
phasis upon grades, academic
pressure seemed far less than at
Bryn Mawr,
We found that a great majority
of the students were sociology,
education, or psychology majors.
A lesser number elected science
and the traditional liberal arts
large northern university.
The students at Clark have very
little freedom both academically
‘and socially, There is no honor
system, and hours are strict. The
administration controls most stu-
dent activities, When we discussed
the latitude allowed at Bryn Mawr,
the students were amazed.
We. had expected to find much
participation by the student body in
the Negro movement, and so were
greatly surprised by the lack of
militancy. in the student body on
this subject. This attitude can par-
tially be explained by the location
of the college. Atlanta is the most
progressive city in the South,
There is now no problem about
voting. There are few public facil-
ities which Negroes cannot use.
Job opportunities are excellent.
Although naturally in deep sympa-
thy with what is going on around
them, the students do not seem too
willing t6 involve themselves di-
rectly in the Negro struggle in
other areas of the South. For ex-
ample, none of them went toSelma,
although most participated in sym-
pathy demonstrations in Atlanta,
In sum, the students seem com-
placent. Although the situati8h in
Atlanta is far from perfect, the pri-
mary goals of the Negroes have
been for the most part fulfilled. /
Revolutionary change is no longer
needed, Thus, for the future stu-
dents do not anticipate working
directly in the Negro movement in
the South. Most intend to work in
Atlanta or in the large northern
cities where va a for ad-.
from April 16 to 23 when Clark and
Tougaloo will send students to the
Bryn Mawr and Haverford
campuses.
Arrangements for the exchanges
were made by Eileen Ferrin and
Mary Thom working with a Haver-
ford committee. The program had
been in planning stages since fall,
but it was not until the week be-
fore vacation that final prepara-
tions could be completed. Under-
grad funds were supplemented by
the individual students infinancing
the trips.
The Tougaloo exchange is a
continuation of a program begun
last year when six Bryn Mawr and
Haverford students visited the
Mississippi campus. Tougaloo isa
pioneer in northern and southern |
school exchanges that have become
“increasingly popular in recent
years. Clark College is part of a
trio of predominantly Negro in-
stitutions including Clark, More-
house, and Spelman colleges. Hav-
erford also has an exchange with
Morehouse College this year.
Such an exchange program allows
the individual to spend a week in
a radically different college com-
munity thus gaining a perspective
on nationwide higher education.
The students live in dormitories
and attend classes taking part in
the normal college routine to in-
volve the campus as a whole inthe
program. Tougaloo has an expanded
program which includes semester
exchanges this year with Riplan
and Oberlin colleges. The Bryn
Mawr committee has also been
investigating the possibility of ar-
ranging a longer exchange,

Student Art Show In The Roost
Persecution In “Andorra”
by Nanette Holben
Society Hill Playhouse is cur-
rently presenting Swiss playwright
Max Frisch’s ANDORRA, a drama
so steeped in the world’s greatest
displays of persecution that it
might be called paranoiac.
Prejudice, specifically anti-
Semitism, ds the focus of, the
primary plot, wherein the inhabit-
ants of the mythical Andorra main-
tain an overly aggressive, strik-
ingly hypocritical aversion for the
young Jew Andri. Uniquely, how-
ever, the antagonism is not one-
sided, for Andri is an outcast
as much for his own negative
peculiarities as for the attitude
of society.
But here is one of the play’s
weaknesses. Since every other
‘ character is a caricature (the
priest, the Jew-detector, the inn-
keeper, the medical doctor, the
soldier), Andri is the only person
with whom one would seek to iden-
tify. Yet by the time Andri mani-
fests his .appealing depth of char-
acter, he has _. simultaneously
chosen to isolate himself via one
negative peculiarity, the pride of
being different. Thus Andri alien-
ates himself not only from his
community, but also from his
audience, and the play begins to
tend toward objectivity.
Bill Eustace, who plays Andri,
is perhaps the finest point of the
production, Although his early
monologues are reminiscent of the
‘*Why-does-this-always-happen -
to-me”? tangents of our own
Prometheus Bond, he progresses
to a genuinity of emotion with a
finesse beyond the expectations of
amateur theater.
The play had additional implica-
tions in the realm of symbolism,
but its lack of subtlety might be
insulting. Namely, the. portrayal
of Andri as a Christ image is
effective, but often offensive with
too frequent repetitions of the sym=
bols. Andri wants to be acarpenter,
and he accuses everyone and his
father (literally) of betraying him.
Further, Andri recites such lines
as **I know who my forebears
are’’ and ‘‘What is coming has all
happened before.’’ When he is
destroyed, as much by himself as
by the society, his lover Barblin

insists that he’ll be back to pick
up his shoes. Quite suggestive.
A third intention of the play is
to satirize the reactions to group
guilt, especially in regards to post-
war Nazi trials. That is, between
each scene Frisch has one of his
caricature characters speak from
a witness stand with remarks as
‘‘1’m ‘not in favor of atrocities ...
I never took part in brutality...
It wasn’t my fault ... We can only
regret the turn events took at that
time.’’
_A word about additional charac-
ters. Walter Vail as Andri’sfather,

at ease with his gestures at first
but warms up to a piece of fine
acting, Other noteworthy perform-
ers are Helena White as the Sendra,
Sheila Schreibstein as Barblin,
Ben Dukes as the priest, and Peter
Levinson as the soldier.
ANDORRA’S weaknesses, final-
ly, are more a product of the
play’s potential than a reflection
on its cast. It Will run until May 1
Wednesday — .through Saturday
nights. The city Andorra is an
‘tincarnation of an ideal;’’ the play
ANDORRA will make an ideal eve-

‘How to Succeed’
Returns to Philly
With NYC Cast
Many have undoubtedly seen the
New York production of HOW TO
SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT
REALLY TRYING. However, for
those who haven’t, it is here again
with the Broadway cast.
This production is full of good
Broadway flare, which seemed to
take the opening night audience
by surprise. Perhaps they were
still too used to seeing shows that
are having their trial runin Phila-
delphia.
Ronnie Welsh, who plays the
young J. Pierpont Finch, is
thoroughly engaging in his
struggles to rise in the business
world, One seldom sees an actor
who can get away with winking at,
the audience when he ‘is pulling a°

The villain of the production did
leave something to be desired.
Antics on stage are fine, but clown-

a bad impression.

Shows Variety Of Media, Styles
by Peggy Wilber
‘Only a mother could love that”
is a common enough phrase,
and one which might conceivably
apply to a student art show such
as that scheduled for Parents’ Day.
But, it is pleasant to report, some
if not all of the works included
can be appreciated by other than
the doting parent who discerns
genius in every lump of clay or
jagged line ‘‘created’’ by his or
her child at any age.
The current- show in the Roost
consists of twenty-three works
in varied media - from woodcut
to lithographs to oil sketches -
and varies in style from a fine
attempt at Rennaissance-type po-
traiture (of anaquiline-nosed man)
by Celia Rumsey to the occasional-
ly skillful blending of Pop and Op
art techniques in. four oil and
tempera studies by P. Hawkins,
all suitably hung together. These
works, somewhat _ repetitively
titled ‘‘America 1, 2, 3, and 4,”
attempt, through the motif of
grasping hands dnd advertising
signs, to convey a sense of om-
inous isolation which is per-
haps most successfully expressed
in 2-3 of the series. _
Of Jeanie Howarth’s three
works, her black-and-white pencil
sketch, ‘‘English Village,” is the
most finished, and reflects an im-
provement in representational
technique over her larger, pleasant
pastel of the same type of scene.
Jane Walton’s oil sketch of the
head of a young girl is a rapidly
executed but nevertheless quite
sophisticated work, and my per-
sonal favorite in the show. It has
the quick dash that too many of
the other works seem to lack;
several, particularly the land-
scapes and still lifes, seemed
worked over, contrived, and over-
finished,
Nancy McAdams’ charcoal
sketch of a half-nude woman
‘is, besides Jane Waltoh’s sketch,
the other drawing which does pos-
sess a casual yet finished look.
And we must admire her for bal-

Student participation in such a
show reveals a significant num-
ber of students interested in per-
fecting —- techniques, but une
fortunately unsuccessful on their
own, Students could profit
immeasurably by such an experi-
ence, which provides its own type
of highly specialized discipline.
Perhaps it is overestimating
parents to expect that they will
express interest in such additions
to the academic program, but at
least the present show seems to
give them at an opportunity to
consider the state of largely un-
aided creativity at Bryn Mawr.
In this special 64-page supplement
in the April issue of Harper's Maga-
zine, 14 distinguished writers discuss
the delicate relationships between
South and North, between Southern
white and Negro; the. moods and
fears of the Southern people; the
changing faces of the land and its
cities.

Together, they have placed the last
century in historical perspective,
and created a portrait in depth of
the Sou:h today that will surprise
and inform every American.
Contributors,.include Southern his-
torian C. Vann Woodward, who
shows how the North helped but-
tress and condone racial segrega-
tion; James J. Kilpatrick, conserva-

Reprise records have released a
new Duke Ellington album:
ELLINGTON ’66, The record label
reads -like a recent hit parade
list, representing a cross-section
of today’s popular music. While
imitation may be the sincerest
form of flattery, it does not always
make for good jazz, This album
suffers from some of the in-
evitable indecision in choosing be-
tween revision and recreation.
The Ellington orchestra flatters
The Beatles, Henry Mancini, and
Barbra Streisand, in turn, It is
an interesting combination, and
a unique experiment for the Duke
who generally prefers to record
his own compositions, (Only two
of his are included in this selec-
tion.)
Strangely, the Beatle songs come
off sounding best. The arranger,
Billy Strayhornm, shows consider-
able imagination in his version of
**All My Loving’? and ‘*I1 Want
To Hold Your Hand.”? These cuts
acknowledge the existence of a
talented drummer who is largely
inconsequential for most of the
album.
The other exceptional cut: is
“Moon River.’ Although this tune
has suffered the various indigni-
ties of earlier arrangements,
Ellington has restored its dig-
nity. This version swings, yet is
saved from too brassy a sound
by a subtle. melancholy under-
current,
It is unfortunate that these ex-
ceptional cuts are surrounded by
a mediocre sound that frequently
sounds too much like Lester Lanin
to be good jazz.
Count Basie, originally of the
Carnegie Hall school of the 1930's,
was a master of swing. He was a
prominent musician during the big
dance band era of Goodman and
Glen Grey. Unlike -many of his con-
temporaries, Basie was one of few
jazz musicians able to make asuc-
cessful transition to progressive
jazz.
In his new Reprise album, POP
GOES THE BASIE, the Count dis-
plays his ability to combine pops
and original and still come out with
a very appealing sound. Perhaps
the name for his music is ‘cock-
tail jazz.’ It provides~the right
background for a party, good mu-
sic for dancing and a good sound
for listerfing, e
Bill Byers, who wrote the ar-
rangements for POP GOES THE
BASIE, succeeds in including a
_ variety of tempos which bring out
the varied talents of the band,
Basie rhythm is good. But the as-
Religion in the Modern Novel
Subject of Interfaith Lecture
Professor Joseph Brennan spoke
on ‘*Religion in the Contemporary
Novel,’’? as part of the Interfaith
Lecture Series, Wednesday night
in the Common Room, —
Professor Brennan opened by
criticizing superimposition of re-
ligious symbolism on the novel’s
part. For instance, Joyce in
FINIGAN’S WAKE, represented the
14 stations of the Cross by the
14 stops of a beer barrel wagon.
This kind of symbolism was
very effective when first employed
‘ in the thirties, but today it is
ta flash of nostalgia in -an ag-
nostic culture.’’ Happily, the
method is finally dying.
Most novels are not religious
works. Books like James’ THE
AMBASSADORS are ‘neither re-
- ligious nor irreligious,”’ although
they may use religion as a back-
ground. Of course, BEN HUR and
QUO VADIS have been written,
but they ‘‘turn rather easily into
sword and spear. epics.’’

written in this country was a re-
ligious novel. UNCLE TOM’S
CABIN’s ‘‘aimost Balzacian char-
acters move in a religious back-’
drop.’’ Tom even has a vision
on Simon Legree’s property of
Christ crowned with thorns.
Since Mrs. Stowe’s book, re-
ligious novels have tended to be
anti-clerical revolts. This.theme
continues that Christ, if he were
to return, would be crucified once
more. Dostoevsky’s THE GRAND
INQUISITOR is the most erudite
example.
This theme is visible today on
Broadway in THE DEPUTY, the
story of a **‘*good Jesuit’ against
a sinful Pope and fat Cardinals.’’
It has become an expected cliché,
The expected cliché. has been
the downfall of other authors.
Faulkner, in his novels, frequently
says the expected platitudes. His
acceptance speech for the Nobel
Prize was filled with ‘‘fine sen-
timents,’?’
Francois Mauriac is an impor-
tant religious novelist, although
“actually more a theologian. In
DESERT OF LOVE, about a wom-
an’s simultaneous love. affairs with
a. doctor and his son, this love
for individuals shows that God
is earth’s immortal desire.
pect of the ‘‘old time’? Basie which
really stands out in the pops ar-
rangements is the instrumental
solo work, The instruments are
highlighted and combined with each
other ina ‘bright and brash’’ style.
The Count’s rendition of ‘*Walk
Right In’? combines guitar, bari-
tone sax, and trombones in a way
that leaves no room for doubt as
to his greatness.
Al Grey throughout the album
makes his trombone wail and sing.
His use of the plunger is reminis-
cent of the 1920’s and the early”
Duke -Ellington orchestra. With
little difficulty, however, Al makes
his plunger effect sound right at
home in the Basie arrangement of
‘‘Call Me Irresponsible.’
Count Basie must be considered
as a combination of old and new
jazz. He had an appeal and a style
in the 30’s which he wouldn’t give
up. His pops has a definite taste
of old time jazz in it. Those who
strictly want progressive sounds
may not find POP GOES THE BAS-
IE colorful enough. But those jazz
enthusiasts who recognize and ap-
preciate old time jazz as well as
progressive will find POP GOES
THE BASIE just right. G.S., H.S.
Chorus Will Give
Library Program
Of ‘Lamentations’
A small group of Bryn Mawrters |
under the direction of Gill Bunshaft
and sponsored by Interfaith, will
present a choral ‘concert in the
main reading room of the library
Sunday, April 11, at 12:15 p.m.
The program will consist of ex-
cerpts from ‘‘The Lamentations of
Jeremiah,’ the text of which is_
derived from the’ biblical book by
the same name, They are tradi-
tionally sung at matins of the
Catholic mass the last three days
of holy week.
A small instrumental ensemble
(bassoon, French horn and two
flutes) will accompany the voices |
in the first excerpt, composed by
Jean Matelart and Cristobal de
Morales in the 16th century. The
second excerpt the group is per-
forming was set to music by Clau-
din de Sermisey (1490-1562), The
third excerpt is a.soprano duet
composed by Francois Couperin
(1688-1733),
Pat Pastore and Cynthia:,Walk
are the soloists, accompanied by an
organ and cello.
Experts believe that THE LA-
MENTATIONS have been sung (or
chanted) since their Jewish origin
in 587, B.C. The chants were
adopted by the early Christians;
late 15th century musiéians were
the first to set them to poly-
phonic music.

Spring Ferments Ars Poetica:
Puddle-Wonderful Plagiarism?
by Emily McDermott, '68
Poetry is In in spring. What’s
more, spring is In in poetry, Al-
most every poet worth his salt has
had a few words to say about
spring, Of course, the popularity
of the subject makes it a little dif-
ficult to say anything that has not
already been said a dozen or more
times, Therefore, we at the COL-
LEGE NEWS would like to suggest
to budding poets that they scrap
originality when dealing with
spring and devote themselves
to repeating what has already been
said, This can be done in two dif-
ferent ways.
The first technique derives from
the *‘collage’? method of painting.
It might therefore be called ‘‘col-
lage’? poetry. The *‘collage’’ poem
consists solely of allusions to or
direct steals from other poems:
the poet strives to include as few
of his own words as possible. The
following is an example of this
kind of poetry:
April is the cruellest month,
mixing (as from unburied which)
memory and desire,
stirring dull roots with

April and we thy vestals

The second type of poetry is the
Idea Poem, which uses only tradi-
tional imagery and communicates
through word association, thus re-
lieving the poet of responsibility
for the poem, The meaning of the
poem depends largely on the indi-
vidual reader’s psyche. For
example:
rain... lamb... buds
love ... green... pussywillows
If the poet is of a more cynical
bent, he can amend this last poem
to read: :
rain... lamb... buds
love ... green... pussywillows
hell
(Such a trick ending gives the
reader something profound to think
about). The Idea Poem canbe sim-
plified even further, until it reads
simply ‘‘SPRING!’? But perhaps
that defeats the purpese of writing
the poem in the first place.

‘Cherry Orchard’
College Theater’s
Next Production
**The Cherry Orchard,’’ by An-
ton Chekhov, will be the Bryn
Mawr-Haverford College Thea-
ter’s next production. The per-
formance will take place in Roberts
Hall on May 7 and 8.
Robert Butman is directing the
play and Vicki May, president of
Bryn Mawr College Theater, will
be assistant director.
Though not all the parts have
been cast yet, those in the. lead-
ing roles are as follows;
Jane Robbins will play Madame
Ranevsky, the owner of the cherry
orchard; Priscilla Robbins is her
daughter Anya; Lynn. Meadow is
her adopted daughter Varya. Mun-
son Hicks is her brother Gaev;
Terry van Brunt is the merchant
Lopakin.
Rich Gartner, Nimet Habachy,
Chris Kopf, Rena Gill agd Rick
Bready,. will also be in the play.
Judy Chapman is production man-
ager.
‘The Cherry Orchard,’’ written
in 1904, is a masterpiece of
dramatic form and one of Chek-
hov’s most celebrated plays. It
concerns the tragedy of power-
lessness during a period when
the Russian life and character was
changing to a new order with a
practical, modern outlook.
Madame Ranevsky could be
saved from ruin if she would
sell her estate. But she will not
because she cannot, and is at last
ruined and thrown out into an
unsympathetic world.

“Seance” Absorbing Drama
Even on a Dry Afternoon
-by Nancy McAdams, '65
The thing is, see, is that you’ve
just gotta see SEANCE ON A WET
AFTERNOON at the Bryn Mawr
Theatre!!
The raindrops fall slowly into a
grimy puddle on a grimy street. ©
The puddle mirrors a grimy Vic-
torian mansion giving ominous
warning of the eerie drama about
to unfold within.
The house looks like all those
ugly dilapidated mansions of a by-
gone era; the kind present in sub-
urbs everywhere, the kind remin-
iscent of better days, the kind
always leading one to imagine
strange and sinister happenings
which have no part inthe humdrum
activities of daily life. This house,
indeed, is the backdrop for a very
strange and sinister situation.
Kim Stanley and Richard Atten-
borough, as the couple about
whom the story revolves, fit into
this .backdrop perfectly. She was
once a beauty, with a still beauti-
ful face reflecting the powerful
‘emotions and strange visions which
completely dominate her, and move
her to believe she can make con-
tact, as a medium, with the souls of
the dead, She holds seances, in a
dark room with only a single candle
burning in the center of the table, -
and conveys messages from ‘the
dead to their relatives still on
earth,
Her husband is a quiet tortured
man, who is painfully aware of the
~~
twisted nature of her mina, He ac-
quiesces to her every wish, does
all that she tells him witha feeling
of hopelessness. He has giveninto
her, and accepts the unreal condi-
tions of their life as inevitable, .
‘It is only with the carrying out of
her recently evolved plan to kidnap
a child Sitates, This is one
step too far, for it will involve
them with the world outside, its
obvious disapproval and reaction
against their way of life, and the
serious consequences if their plan
should fail, He tries vainly to dis-
suade her to refuse tocomply, but
then, finally, he gives in to her in
this as he has in everything else.
The story from here on is com-
pletely absorbing and terrifying. It
moves swiftly toward a gripping
climax and leaves one exhausted
and overcome, both by the fascin-
ation and suspense of this strange
tale, and bythe magnificent and
powerful performance of Kim Stan-
ley!

Salt-in the Tea Adds Spice
To Parents’ Day of the Past
by Erica Hahn
Parents’ Day, that grand old
tradition, turns out not to be so
old and venerable after all, The
. very first Parents’ Day, featuring
teas, lectures, meals in the
dorms, and parents, took place
- long ago on May 2, 1953,
Even in those dark ages, the
COLLEGE NEWS supplied its own
special guide to the stately, stoic,
and sometimes silly events of the
day. For example, to acquaint
parents with their fellow
comrades: the. NEWS ran a list
of fathers’ occupations. In those
days, Daddy might have been an
archeaologist, sculptor, brewery
owner, rancher or traffic planner; ,
or again he might not.
It was a very athletic infant
tradition that May 2, which included
softball on Merion Green, a Bryn
Mawr-Goucher fencing meet (lost
in the mists of time is the identity
of the victor); and sightseeing.

blossoms are falling from the pink
cherry tree.’?

name tags; -new entertainment --

prove to Mummy that not all the

College Receives
Anonymous $5000
For New Trees
Joyce Kilmer, the tree fancier
who saw poems and trees would
smile graciously upon a recent
anonymous donation to BMC’s
varied monies, This new contribu-
tor has given the college a $5,000
award “‘to replace losses and for
new plantings’? of campus trees.
The award couldn’t have come
at a better time, Mrs, Margaret
Tyler Paul, retired assistant to
the President, has been given
charge of this fund and plans to use
it to save Senior Row.
The maples that line the row are
dying of blight, and various oaks
around campus are very old. These
can now be replaced, New trees
may also be planted around Wynd-
ham House, along the new path to
the science buildings, and perhaps
some evergreens around the
science buildings.
Also in line with the arbor-
conscious spirit of the administra-
. tion, the hemlocks around Pem-
- broke Arch have been trimmed.

Admissions Office Participates
In Negro Scholar Programs
by Lynne. Lackenbach
The civil rights issue has
brought increased attention to the
problem of educational op-
portunities for Negroes. For many
years it had been the rare Negro
who cut obtain, or would even
apply fo
called ‘‘prestige’ colleges, par-
ticularly the Ivy League and the
Seven Sisters schools, y
Recognizing ¥ difficulties
posed by finances, educational
preparation, and social back-
ground, these colleges have made
extra efforts over the past few
years to encourage applications by
qualified Negroes and to provide
scholarship funds for them.
Mrs, Broughton, Director of Ad-
missions, summed up the problem
for Bryn Mawr by saying, ‘‘We
did not realize how much en-
couragement Negroes needed to
even dare apply.’’
A pioneer in the field of equal
educational opportunities, Bryn
Mawr has had Negro undergradu-
ates since 1928, and has generally
numbered Negroes among its grad-
uate students, But it is only in the
past few years that fairly
Significant numbers of Negroes
have applied. ‘‘Now they are more
awakened than ever before to the
opportunities,’’? says Mrs, Brough-
ton, ‘‘and of course few realized
that we could offer big scholar-
ships.’?
Bryn Mawr has joined several
programs to gain funds for such
scholarships, and to find and en-
courage. qualified applicants. The
newest of these plans to improve

200 scholarships to Negro stu-
dents, and its avowed purpose
is to ‘identify, honor, and en-
courage superior academic at-

Bryn Mawr also belongs to the
Cooperative Program for Educa-
tional Opportunity, a referral

in number and will continue to do
so in the next few years.
