By Jane Wolman
Bryn Mawr students voted
“ yesterday in campus-wide refer-

changes, The rules in question are
the dress rule at dinner and the
policy on allowing men in the
rooms, Both proposed changes had
been approved by the legislature
prior to the submission of petitions
to .the.student.. bady .aod..the .con= ~
sequent referenda, The actual
questions are reprinted below.

~ Conflict on the Barnard Campus’
Ms. petitions ioely drift across campus and Legislature meetings
extend far into the night, it is reassuring to‘know that-we are not
the only. ones. with rule problems, Barnard girls are simultaneously
undergoing their own difficulties.
Their immediate problems spring from unexplained suspension of
students and administrative refusal to clarify suspension procedures.
Barnard President Park refuses even to meet with the girls to discuss
their grievances.
Student objections seem to be directed less against the actual rules
than against their. ambiguity, the arbitrary methods of execution, and
the cloud of secrecy hovering over the entire situation, The girls are
requesting an open meeting with President Park only to clarify dorm
rules and suspension procedures, not to seek immediate -change. At
the present time, the girls are uncertain of the nature of the specific .
violations warrenting suspension, ‘and of the: definition of “excessive —
overnights. nt
It would be reassuring if there were some painless ‘and efficient
the problem seems insoluble at the moment, In addition, it appears
that any solution chosen can be: little more than a hasty cover-up
which evades basic issues.
The only thing that can.be learned from the situation is that
ambiguity, secrecy, and arbitrary action are far more-lethal threats
to workable student-administration relations and campus rules than
unlimited hours for men in the dorms or late permissions, If Barnard’s

willing’ to: cooperate in any way with the administration,” the effects
will. be far more disasterous than those which might result from
extension of dormitory rules and overnight privileges.
The Question of Cénsorship
The suspension ‘of Seton Hall’s weekly newspaper, the SETONIAN,
-represent#-more-than a Catholic issue-of liberal versus conservative, ™
It brings to the fore the universal. problem concerning censorship of
student newspapers, - _—..
No one will debate the right of a college administration to indicate
which matters they consider private and ‘not for print.’’ But does an
administration have the right to siti students from expressing campus-
' wide discontent?
Most especially in-a climate of picketing, ¢ or unrest, of the feeling
of “little progress” in stucent-administration negotiations, an organ
for orderly, recognized expression of student opiniops is necessary,
The administration, after all, has the final say. on policy decisions,
For’ reasons. of. maintaining order and respect ina college, if not
for reasons of intellectual’ honesty, an administration cannot refuse
to acknowledge student. feelings. Furthermore, it is far healthier to
allow students to vent their criticisms, however ineffectually, then to
tell them to put up and shut up, however diplomatically. :
The administration of an institution, of course, by its very function
is. empowered to determine the ‘physical set-up of a college, its
educational philosophy, the genre of both its students and graduates,»
and ultimately the atmosphere of the entire college, It is the students,
however, who must live — oe

a month ago with Mr. Desjardins
and several Haverford and Bryn

in Chinese philosophy, and oriental
studies generally. Mr. Desjardins
has lived in Japan, reads Chinese,
and recently taught a course in
which he compared Plato and
Confucious. He would eventually
‘like, to..see some sort of pro-
fessor-student exchange program

‘SIDE OF PARADISE, a St. Regis
Struggle For Power Pictured
In August Strindberg’s Father
By Sally Carson
THE FATHER, a three-act play
by Swedish playwright August
Strindberg, will be the second
production of.the combined Bryn
Mawr-Haverford college theaters,
March. 20 and 21 in Goodhart.
Although possessing none of the
physical violence and bloodshed of
a Shakespearean tragedy such as -
HAMLET, THE FATHER does con-
tain a conflict which is equally
significant, ~
“It is struggle,’’? as Strindberg
himself said, ,“‘that takes place
between’ souls. It is a battle of
brains, not, a dagger fight or a
poisoning with raspberry juice”
(a reference to Schiller’s ROB-
BERS).
The struggle takes place between
the captain, in many ways a char-
acter reminiscent ofthe magnitude
of Lear or Othello, and his wife
Jeannett’s,

Laura. The source of the ‘dispute
is the future of their daughter
Bertha,
During the course of the play,
however, the facade of two parents
arguing over their child’s future
dissolves away, revealing a more
powerful and elemental conflict--
the stuggle of man and woman
to obtain power over each other.
The words of Laura, ‘*Power,
that’s it: -What’s. this whole life
and death struggle for if. not
power?’ echos this theme, Indeed,
the conflict. between the captain
and Laura is of .such a nature
that will allow only one of them
to survive.
.Tense and _ éngrossing from
beginning to end, THE FATHER
“provides an opportunity to demon-
strate excellent acting ability on
the part of both principals, The
cast includes Terry Van Brunt,
the. captain; Theresita Currie,
Laura; and supporting cast, Cally

boy, is snubbed at Princeton be-
cause he did not attend Lawrence-
ville.
Mr. Lyons aptly chronicles this
persistent schoolboy snobbery of
the wealthy and influential, against
-which the Westerner, representing:
moral nature, ‘‘new’’ culture, and
freedom, ds. thrust.
In. this book. we also: see the
rise of the ubiquitous college types:
the ‘‘greasy grind,’ often reflect-
ing social consciousness by being
represented as an immigrant or
member of a minority group; the
eccentric professor and his
scheming, nymphomaniac. wife; the
football hero, and so on,
It is to Mr. Lyons’ credit that’
by artfully selecting such passages
he produces an interesting whole,
for it is his opening thesis that
‘tthe novel of academic life has
fostered no Sophocles, Flaubert,
or Tolstoy;’’ such novels, largely
second-rate at best, are rarely
written by men of first rank.
When they are, as in Thomas
s
Brandeis Lecturer
Sparks Discussion
About ‘W ondering
Jasper Deeter, founder. and di-
rector of the Hedgerow Theatre
and guest lecturer at Brandeis
University, gave a lecture on ‘‘Art
and Academe’’ on March 11;-Mr.
Deeter’s ‘‘lecture’’ turned out to
be more of a discussion group
with the students.
After informal discussion while
tea was served, Mr. Deeterread
an article describing. campus
politics involved for aspiring
professors, One point Mr. Deeter
brought: out was the ‘‘publish--or
perish!’’ attitude that confronts
professors and often hinders their
teaching.
' Mr. Deeter then talked about the
concept of ‘‘wondering’’ (a term
he sometimes — used _inter-
changeably with ‘‘pretending’’),
While we are still young, according ,
to Mr. Deeter, we should be taught-
to wonder (or pretend) within
plausible realms; to recognize that
there is a time and a place for
pretense, just as there is for
truth; and, most important, to
KNOW when we are pretending.
Pretense in the wrong places gives
rise to sham and hypocrisy, In
fact, the personality will degen-
erate if it pretends because that
is the easiest course. Recognizing
the truth is often agonizing, but it
sets us free.
In short, wonder can be used for
a purpose. Combined with the
intellect. (which is overdignified
and merely a lucky accident, said
Mr. Deeter) it is the tool of the
scientist; in the search for beauty
it.creates art, and in itself, sheer
wonder is imagination.
Wolfe’s tratement of academi¢
themes in the Eugene Gant novels,
the author still sees the more
exciting, real things of life beyond
he pale of academy.
In one of, the most absorbing
_chapters_.of his study, ‘The Un-
dergraduate and Bathometric
Fire-Baptism,’’ Mr. Lyons, draw-
ing. on a wealth of literary tradi-
tion, attempts to account for this
lack of substance, by comparing
the college novel with the Bil-
dungsroman,
In the former, he states, per-
sonality development rarely takes
place; the hero is rarely altered
in any significant way, although
Bildungsroman elements -- ques-
tioning of accepted values and
encounter with a Lorelei -- may.
be present, .
His explanation for this, the
assertion that most heroes and -
heroines of college novels are
not quite as old as Bildungsroman
heroes seems inadequate as many
writers, among them Dickens and
Joyce, have dealt with personality
development in much younger indi-
viduals with a marked degree of
success,
Yet THE COLLEGE NOVEL IN
AMERICA has raised many issues,
from undergraduate temperance
and-lesbianism to academic free-
dom, and if we are not fired with
enthusiasm to read all the novels
Mr. Lyons describes, we must
admire his ability to connect works
of dubious merit in an integrated
and critical whole.

Arts Council’ s 7 Free Movies : Pr
‘ Myopic Magoo, Blake, Abstract Artist
By. Karen Kobler —
. An incongruous cinematic trio -
Magoo in’‘‘Captains Outrageous,”
“The Vision of William: Blake,”’
and ‘“‘The Day of the Painter,’
provided unusual and interesting
entertainment. for Bryn Mawr
movie-goers last Saturday night.
The films were Sponsored by Arts
Council,
Why the Magoo cartoon? One did
not find great substance in the plot,
nor could much be said for
“character development.’’ Per- -
haps it was felt students might
enjoy something quite free of
hidden meanings, insight, andsym-
bolism; perhaps its inclusion was
. intended simply as a comment on
the ‘‘pop art’’ phenomenon.
“The Vision of William Blake”
described some of Blake’s spiri-
' tual feelings, with mystical illus -
trations and quotes from his verse. ©
The film used, the effective techni-
que of first showing isolated details
from a drawing and then the pano-
rama of the whole illustration.
From this, we can see how Blake
Crh
could create joy, anguish, or gran-
deur with a few simple strokes.
His mystical world, far from con-
' fining itself to Christianity, is
peopled by many strange Beings.
There are sweeping pictures of
God and the Heavenly Host, Adam
and Eve, Cain and Abel; and yet
we see also Cerberus at the gates .
of Hell, Hecate the queen of the
witches, and other grotesque,
nameless creatures,
We learn Blake’s conception of
Man; ‘‘made for joy and woe.’
We see Mah in the beauty of
innocence, which leads to Heaven;
and then we see him~in~Hell,
chained by the manacles of his
soul, a prisoner of Self. But there
is purification ‘in the tormenting
infernal flames, and Mar is at
last reunited with God.
The third film, ‘‘Day of the
Painter,’’ was certainly a change
- in tone,-.being. a light-hearted
‘vision of the abstractionist.’’ We
are watching. the creation of -a
painting, an unusually large one,
it seems. Under the curious glance
ca
of assorted birds the artist sieahie
. great buckets of paint on a.mon-
strous canvas. Now and then he
takes a brush (a real brush, that
is) and: delicately scrubs at one
of the quivering quagmires of
color. At last the picture is ‘‘fin-
ished’? -- ‘but, as it turns out,
the artist has ‘dacovered how to
produce abstract paintings in quan-
tity. He saws the canvas into many
smaller pictures, sells one, and
throws the rest into the lake.

Introduction by Max Lerner
SEX AND THE COLLEGE GIRL is based on
hundreds of on and off campus interviews
with parents, teachers, and undergraduates
at more than 100 schools all over Americ
from Big Ten to Bible Belt,
League to UCLA. Interviewed by
a prize-winning reporter and fea-
ture writer, the girls talk can-
didly about themselves—and
about weekends, petting (“‘every-
thing but...’’),. promiscuity,
technical virgins, affairs, chas--
tity, curfews, motels, drive-ins,
status, marriage, and love. The
results are jarring educators,
fascinating undergraduates, and
keeping parents awake nights
throughout America.
“SEX AND THE COLLEGE GIRL
is a fascinating account of the
changing moral attitudes of the
present-day college student told.
not.in meaningless statistics, but
in the lively language of the co-
ed.”—Harold Greenwald, Ph.D.,
author of Emotional Maturity In

_ Meet Tid Response at Biles
By Jane Walton
The art show at the Edge this’
month is on the whole fairly un-
original and poorly executed, with
a few notable, excellent exceptions,
Three excellent black and white
photographs by Vincent Lauria are
a highlight of the show. His boxers
display good composition and form
a technically superb action shot.
The arcade of trees leading to a
figure shows intelligent use of per-
spective, and the third--a portrait
superimposed on a tree trunk--
blends into an expressive twosided
metaphor,
‘Lauria’s other works are less
successful, Although it is inter-
estingly composed, his still life
is flat, not well drafted, and its
execution in shades of grey sug-
gests the artist has tried totrans-
fer photographic techniques to oil
painting. His figure sketches re-
freshingly realistic, although
somewhat stiffly drawn,
The most pleasing work in the
show is Susah Capling’s monotype
of an old man, She combines
originality of subject and medium
into an unpretentious, well-execut-
---e@d print. Her figure drawing is
also fine, showing good use of
lines in a quick, ‘from-
life’’ sketch,

Revocation of the college’s 1871
charter was termed in the bill

mental illness in the Philadelphia
area, as the-other -institutions of
the type are sadly outdated and
overcrowded,
Kath Lawrence, °66, uairaven
of the Bryn Mawr volunteer group,
describes the hospital, which con-
tains 400-500 residential patients,
as .‘*very well-run, and, because
it is new, capable of change and
improvement.’’
The hospital’s training program,
which the Bryn Mawr girls exper-
jenced, includes four nights. of

The ten girls have now split up
into two groups of five each, one
of which goes to the hospitalevéry
other week. This rotation system
has proved very successful, Kath
reports, and switching has been
kept at a minimum even during
exams,
The girls often play cards and
talk with the patients in the locked
men’s wards and have planned
parties and dances with the
womens’ wards as well,
with the geriatrics patients, many
of whom are quite immobile, and
aid them in preparing for bed.
Many of these patients enjoy speak-
ing Spanish with Gladys Maira
Baccaram, ’65.
Since many patients in the
Ossermann building are able to
obtain passes, they may ask em-
ployees out socially, and the Direc-
tor of Volunteers will give. out
employees’ names and phone num-
bers if such a request is mdde.
The decision is thus left up to the
* volunteer. Kath is grateful for the
allowance of maturity that hos-
pital policies extend to the indivi-
dual volunteer, and is hoping to
continue the program next year,
