~ Redlich Condemns Death Sentence,
~ Reviewer Challenges His Reasoning

= Mr. Redlich - :

Norman ‘Redlich’ of New York
University spoke Monday evening,

of Capital Punishment”... As one
would gather from the title, Mr.
Redlish is strongly..opposed:to~ the
use’ of the death penalty. He argued
that’ the only explanation for its
present application” was a cave-man
like desire for revenge.

‘That the threat of capital punish-

ment does_not, to any significant. de-|..

gree, deter crime was shown by stud-

employing capital punishment, others
not, were compared. “The studies
concluded . that capital punishment
had not reduced the capital crime
rate. Mr. Redlich felt the. most
probable explanation of this phe-
nomenon was the uncertainty of the
application of the death penalty. In
different crimes,
ments were frequently meted out.

Poor Suffer

Mr. Redlich pointed to the: great
inequality inthe actual application
of the death penalty. Usually the
poor, who lack the funds to obtain
good counsel, are those who. receive
the death penalty. In addition, cap-
ital punishment, since it is irrevo-

of a. perfect judicial system in which
guilt could be decided beyond any

unjustly punished. Mr. Redlich point-
ed. out that-we do not possess fash
a judicial system. -

Some Observations
by. Lora. McMeekin ’63

The penal code can .be justified
from a legal standpoint: by three
motives—revenge, rehabilitation, or
deterrence of future crime either by
example or by removing an. injuri-
ous element from society. Revenge.
is not too worthy ‘a motive. Capital
punishment is obviously not partic-
ularly rehabilitative, thus to be jus-
tified it must act as a deterrent. Mr.

different punish-

many of these oRennse are ‘called
“crimes of passion” indicates that
there is some doubt that they are
committed by rational individuals.
-D¢-an-unbalaneed-mind-the-threat-
of capital punishment does not have
a- deterrent effect. Since in these
cases the death penalty neither re-
habilitates rior deters it servés no
justifiable function and should be
abolished.

Why No Creativity?
_by Pauline Dubkin ’6

“It is not true that Bryn Mawr
girls never wear shoes, as Mademoi-
selle reporter. Margaret Parkinson
‘implies;0-—-— aiid

It is not. true that: a -costumed
student astride a white plow-horse
presides over May. Day....But-no-one
really cares.

What-we do care Shoat is the
fact that to an outsider we appear
as intellectual snobs, knitters in-
hstead of talkers in- class, talkers
instead of doers. outside of class. The
criticism that Bryn Mawr lacks in-
tellectual creativity did’ not origi-
nate in the Mademoiselle article, but
it is a central point there. But
what’ (or who) is responsible. for
this dearth?

Many, students will say that ne
work load precludes any possbiility

_| of real. creativity in non-academic

fields. Yet, is it the work load or
the myth of the work load’ that both-

sort of intellectual IBM machines
perpetuate a myth that we do noth-
ing but work.

So, strangely . enough, do the
smoker-sitters, the all-night bridge-
players. Instead. of working, they
waste time feeling .guilty about not
working. This guilt saps their time
and their energy and leaves little
of either left for creativity.

Yet, interspersed with groans of
“T’ve got so much work to do,” the
small voice behind the’ bridge ha
will complain, “I’m so bored with
my classes. Why are we so seldom
challenged?”

Many students feel that the type
of work -load given precludes any
possibility of real creativity in aca-
demic fiel It is not the, length
of. the reading list they-rebel- against
‘but the feeling that it is not stimu
lating or interesting.

‘Knowledge for knowledge’ Ss sake
doesn’t mean facts for. facts’ sake.
Why are we simply fact-collectors?
Is it because of the orfentation to-

_Artieles that. depict us as‘.

. In the October -issue- of Made-
moiselle, Margaret B. Parkinson
desdribes “Bryn Mawr’s Barefoot
Intellectuals.” Beginning with a
discussion..of. the Lantern. Man. as
a symbol of Bryn Mawr’s propen-
sity. for pageantry, the article

“incredibly careless”. This individ-
ualistic approach to appearance is
contrasted. with the conventional
attitude toward education. The
tradition of .M. Carey Thomas
serves as a prelude to a long dis-
cussion of the
estness” which marks the college
that_students choose. because_they |
are “bright and bookish”.

Whether or not she is one of
“Radcliffe’s emotional rejects”, the
average Bryn Mawr girl. is -de-
scribed—as—“tormented”. She=lives
a heavily dorm-oriented ‘life, part-
ly due. to the lack. of. a campus
student center,



wards the requirements of* gradu-
ate schools? -Is it ‘because taking
notes is easy and time-consuming
and doesn’t require thought?

Or is it because that is what is
expected of us by our professors?
Is it true, as Mademoiselle suggests,
that ours is a faculty of scholars-and
not of. teachers? “Are we really the
main interest of this scholarly fac-
ulty ?

Does the type of aioe prescribed
in the ®ourse syllabus preclude any
possibility of creativity in class?
Or did Miss Lang hit the nail on
the head when. she © said: “(the)
silence in class is due tg the fear of |-
what the‘-other girls will think.
There’s that why-doesn’t-she-shut-up
feeling
about student talkers?”

Neither °-Mademoiselle, nor the
News. has the . answers. to. these
questions, but, perhaps, the place
for. creativity.and stimulation to be-
gin is in the mind of the ‘individual
student.

~One of the most exciting experi-
;;ments- -BMG-~has-undertaken—in-the-

‘|past few years is*the establishment
of a summer study program in Avig-
non—l’: Institut d’Etudes Francaises
d’Avignon. The Institut, sponsored
by the Carnegie: Corporation,. was
in session for the first time this
summer, and proved most success-
ful academically, aeimiirade and so-

cighy.
The. project was designed for un-

in French culture, and, especially for
those expecting to enter fields de-
manding thorough knowledge’ of the
‘French language and’ ~ civilization:
The director of the Institut was
‘Michel Guggenheim, Associate. Pro~
fessor’ of. French “at Bryn Mawr.
Other faculty. members _ included
Mario Maurin, Associate Profesor
of French, Rene Girard. of . Johns
Hopkins, a- frequent. BMC. eeturer,
Jacques~Charpier, a former visiting
professor here, and others from va-
rious French and ——— nblleges
fsid-thniversities,—

Avignon is a. small village on “the
‘Rhéne about two ‘hours from the
Mediterranean. Of the 36 students
‘attending, nine were from BMC:.

As _ it is, however,. “in many
ways the library is the most im-
portant building on campus.” Al-
though the cloisters possess
“charm”,...it.is the main. reading
room which is described as °“a
delight’.

“Several” graduates are
quoted as finding Bryn. Mawr a
citadel of. intellectual snobbery,
and our lack of class participa-
tion and addiction: to knitting in

Student-faculty relations are de- -
scribed -as-“eool”,- perhaps due: to ~ ~~~

the fact that “the Bryn Mawr fac-

ulty. is. not- a teaching. bedy”-but-——-

a collection of “active scholars”.

Miss Parkinson next notes the
universal affection and
felt for Miss. McBride, and, the
freedom heré from rules and re-

strictions. This is balanced, howr —

ever, by the fact that “the aver-
age girl relies heavily on admin-
istrative sanction.”

After mentioning student. apa-
thy and “sophomore slump” the
article concludes with a -descrip-
tion of the faculty as “ingrown”
and “therefore somewhat myopic”,
prone to the feeling that “what
is good in ’24 is good today” and
afficted with “smupness.”-

Interfaith Pr Provides

Does a college community have
a_ religious -responsibility to- its
members? _President----Katherine
McBride put this question. before
a student audience in her address
entitled “Faith, No Faith, and In-
terfaith,” Wednesday, September
26.

Individual faiths are not organ- -

ized. into groups on the Bryn
Mawr campus, and Miss McBride
explained this by saying that. the
Trustees have always felt that

should develop along non-sectarian -

lines. Thig reflects Bryn Mawr’s

“Parkinsons Disease?”

‘There is nothing in Miss Parkinson’s article which is

actually false. What disturbs us is that it is true. Anyorie
‘who has sat for an evening in a Bryn Mawr smoker h&s prob-

ably heard most of the complaints which have found their
way into the Mademoiselle sketch. The unfortunate thing

“is that“our pet peeves, our over-the-bridge-cards conversa-

to read.
It is even: more unfortunate, perhaps, that the truth
they will be reading is only a partial one. It is the privilege
of a writer to choose her material, but it is the responsibility
of a reporter'to present an unbiased account. From its title,
(“Bryn Mawr’s Barefoot Intellectuals”), to its final sentence,
the article in Mademoiselle is one-sided. In selecting the
material. for the final article, Miss Parkinson has seemingly
chosen only the negative aspects of the College. She has
missed as one Senior expressed it, “a certain feeling which,
perhaps, cannot be expressed in words.” In the deluge of

tions are now sitting on news-stahds waiting for the world

criticisms,,she-has lost the pride we feel in being Bryn.Mawr-|,
ae

Although each fact, quote, occurrence may indeed be
‘accurate, the implications of many: parts of the article are

false, Miss Parkinson failed to grasp the humor of many |:

of the opinions which she quotes as serious observations.
The impression left by the opening sentence (that dorms are
locked at 10:30) is dispelled only several pages later (when
she mentions our liberal curfews). Denbigh, we are sure,
proudly. sang to Charlotte Brodkey when she was admitted

‘If the element of truth in the portrait of tormented acar

to U. of P.’s Graduate School, but it also sings to girls on

. demicism which Miss Parkinson: draws is difficult to take,

perhaps some soul-searching or image-repairing is in order.
But the truth is:that we don’t laugh at Lantern Night, and

we do like May: Day.(in fact, the white’plow’ horse sounds.

like an excellent idea). We do take our work seriously, and
we think more highly of “brains” than other colleges appa-
rently do. What Miss Parkinson doesn’t seem to appreciate
(and some Bryn Mawrters forget) is that there is a. great
joy in discovery whether it be in the chronology of Greek
pottery or in the make-up of the ety psychology. «J. ©.

The Ford Foundation Grant

“All of us at Bryn Mawr can be very proud of the honor
bestowed upon the College by the Ford Foundation this sum-



_ mer. when it awarded $2,500,000 to the school as part of its



Special Program in Education. We thank and co ratulate
all those who worked on the numerous reports and programs
which had te be submitted in the competition for the grant.
As President McBride announced in her Convocation
Address last Tuesday morning, the first payment of the grant
will be $650,000... The Executive Committee on September 5
décided to apportion the initial grant as. follows: $100,000
“to raise the scale of faculty salaries, $450,000 towards a new
building in the science tenter, and $100,000 towards the pur-

~ chase and reconditioning of the house on the Perry property
‘ which is now Spanish House.

--The Ford Foundation also honored Bryn Mawr in its
assessment of the College’s fund raising. ability when it
required that we match the funds on a basis of 3 to 1. In
the next three years, we must raise $7,500,000. This amounts

to approximately $50,000 a week continuously over a three

_ year period! Although we students, struggling with meager

allowances and staggering payday bills, can probably do very
little financially towards meeting this goal, we can help by
speaking to our parents, friends and alumnae whom we know.

You decide to start with “The

_ NSA Congress Provides ae
~ Seeks To Discover Student Opinions

ie Caroline Roosevelt violent Co-ordinating Committee—,

The 15th National Student Asso-
ciation Congress held at Columbus,
Ohio, from August 16 through 30
this summer can,, first of all, be de-
‘seribed as a° terrific personal experi-
ence for any student who attended.
- Whether the students were for or
against NSA, in agreement or dis-
agreement with its ‘policies, every-

“body benefited from the ‘Congress in

that it served as a meeting-ground
for ideas from all over the world, of
all ‘political shading, and from as
*many viewpoints as there were stu-
dents. I talked with students not
only from every section of the Unit-
ed States, but from such places as

_Angola, Korea, Germany, Paraguay,

India, the Ukraine, Guatemala, and
several other \countries

The Congress was divided nie
two parts: The first four days were
spent in the pre-congress National
Student ‘Association Co-ordinators
Congress (known as NSACC) and’;
-the other ten-days-made- up-the-ac-
tual Congress, which dealt with pol-
icy Yormnulation for the year,

The primary purpose of NSACC
was to give co-ordinators from wide-
_ly' diverse colleges a chance to com-
pare problems. of presenting NSA
on their respective campusés and
involving the students in NSA.

Membership Problems
Here it is of interest that the

- main problem ‘of NSA co-ordinators

is-to-get the-studerit_bady to accept |a
_ affiliation with NSA at all. I spoke
to. countless numbers. of ‘fellow co-
ordinators who told me that their
campuses had sent representatives
to Columbus on trial basis because
membership in the Association was
in question before their student gov-
ernments. During: the Congress I
met only three or four people who
said that NSA had a strong position
at. their university: Some. of this
is apathy, some antipathy. Appa-

rently a couple of schools withdrew

in disgust last year; a couple more

tuweatened this -year.

Other—topics under , discussion
ranged from the role, funetion, and

power of student -governments—on
. different campuses, to problems of

predominantly non-resident campus-
es as opposed to resident campuses,
to difficulties of large state schools

.in oppoition to those of small. pri-

vate schools.,

Another feature of NSACC: was
explanation of various organizations
with programs or objectives-of in-
terest to students. ‘These included

~ such groups as SNCC iit Non-



a civil rights group), the Student
Tutorial Society, WUS (World Uni-
versity Service—mostly of interest
to foreign students), ETI (Educa-
tional Travel — Association); and
many, many others, (Literature
from all these will be pouring in
all year and will be posted for the
convenience of anybody interested.)

The Congress itself was also di-
vided into two parts: seminars
which were for informative purpos-
es, and committees, from which came
all the legislation that was voted on
in plenary sesion (ie. by all the
delegates). — '

I attended the seminar on “Work,
Study, Travel Abroad”—perhaps an
unfortunate choice, as the material
presented: was not controversial, and
not as interesting as in other semi-
nars—i.e. the one on academic free-
dom, ‘or African affairs. One of the
criticisms of the seminar was that
most of what was-said’was a repeat
of what had already “been said~ by
representatives
interest groups\of NSAAC. (This
was -true- throughout the Congress
—there seemed to be excessive rep-
etition...The third time I. was éx-
pposed to the same commercial on
WUS, I almost: gagged—it was very
annoying.)

There were five Fae Kai

here, but I, hope to have a full list

‘The work of the sub-committees was

‘to decide on a number of. academic,

socio-political (both domestic and
international) issues, draft legisla-
tion (e.g. a policy) on each. of
these, -and present it to the com-
mittee, whch would either pass it
on to. the plenary_or-kill it...

Thi Be worked on several
pieces of legislation, including pol-
icy on income tax deductions for
school’ expenses and on agricultural

migratory workers,:the most impor- |”

tant resolutions to come out of the
conimittee were tle resolutions on
nuclear testing’ and the McCarran
Act. The vote on the McCarran
Act was especially interesting; the
first roll call vote—in my commit-
tee—was a tie, 45-45. We recessed
two minutes, then took another vote:
46-46.' Because of the tie, the reso-
lution automatically failed, but es-
sentially the same resolution was

points of all sides of any question



passed overwhelmingly in another
committee, and so went to the ple-
nary floor. e

All resolutions passed by commit.
tee went to the plenary only after
being— given priority. by the NEC
(National Executive Committee—
more about them later).

Resolutions Passed

The, two most. important resolu-
tions passed by the plenary were
‘the ones on the Mic Carran Act and on
nucléar testing. © After a great deal
of hot debate, including a session
on nuclear testing that lasted all
night, strong resolutions were pass-
ed against the McCarran Act and
against the government of ‘any coun-
try which engages in nuclear -test-
ing. 5

~One of the purposes of NSA is to
send .copies of these resolutions to
appropriate and responsible. officials
—i.e.-copies of the nuclear testing
resolution will be sent to Kennedy,
Khrushehev, -and de Gaulle... Thug
NSA hopes_ to present the opinion
of organized students to influence
political and ‘academic leaders all
over the U. S., and all over the
world. _ NSA feels that presenting
such—an- opinion -in--resolution- form

influence in a disunited body.

This policy raised one of the main
complaints of the Congress:

dent opinion because less than one-
fourth: of the schools in the U..S.
are affiliated with it. This year an
amendment was made to the consti-
tution, changing the wording from
“We, the students .:.” to “We the
members of the national union of
students . .., ”. This amendment

defines NSA as the only organized |

voice of» student ‘opinion (of stu-

dents as students) while correcting |

the-erroneous- impression that NSA
represents the opinion of all Amer-
--There-was a great.
effort made by some of. the members
of the majority to see that view-

were presented.
New Amendment
To this end, an amendment to the
constitution was passed (after much
struggle) which made jt possible for
the minority to submit a minority

resolution if: the vote on an-issue—is

close.

My one real complaint against the
Congress was that eighty-eight. res-
olutions were brought to the ‘ple-
nary floor, of which_th¢” delegates
voted only on twelve. All the rest

were, sent to the NEC or killed.
(This is an improvement, by ‘consti-
tutional amendment,. over previous
years, when the rules were suspend-
ed at’the end of the Congress and
all resolutions: not voted on could be
passed “en masse” to the NEC.
Now, at least, each must be. consid-
ered individually. before it can be
passed: to the NEC.) This. means
that less than one-fourth of the
policy resolutions that NSA puts out
as student opinion are passed by vot-
‘ing delegates. As NSA’s “raison
d’etre” is to represent - students’

seems unfortunate-that the National
Executive Committee (composed of
the regional chairmen and _ other
high-rankers, of the Association
should be allowed to. pass as most
of the “student opinion.” It’ is ‘very
doubtful that the NEC. is even pro-
portionately’ representative of the
delegates to the Congress, :

‘Another point of disagreement
was the “students as students”
clause. Some people felt that it was
really being stretched wh i issues
like nuclear testing “were brought





to the floor, and that the policy
ought to be more closely concerned
with academje. issues, rather than
issues'- which appeared to be more
community and citizen-oriented than
problems to be handled in an aca
demic’ community.

During the proceedings, regional
caucuses were frequently held in.
order to decide on programming for
the region and to elect officers for
the coming year, (Bryn Mawr fig-
ured. high here, as -Mary Beth
Schaub was elected president of the
Pennsylvania-West Virginia region.)
I should think it is in the regional

‘programming that the test of NSA

lies—it is here that schools: actually
get to see NSA in action, and it. is
the activity within the region that

often influences: a.. — to Join

NSA.

It is to be hoped that this de- ..

scription of the 15th Congress has
provoked more. questions than it has
answered . . Throughout the year
publications, letters from other col-
leges and from the national office
(which, by-.the-way,-is--in- Philadel-
phia) will be posted.

~ Student Sleuths Investigate;
Expose Myths: No Firemen!

A fose is a rose is a’rose but a
. firemen’s band is not. always a band
of firemen. This shocking fact was
brought home to us last week at
Parade Night when we accosted a
clarinetist in a public-spirited effort
to determine the dates of this year’s,
National Fire Prevention Week.
With an embarrassed smile he re-
-plied that he didn’t know and fur-,
thermore ‘had nothing to do with
the fire department. Supposing, in
our innocence, that said clarinetist
might be an imposter among the
band, we approached the uniformed
leader for an answer to our ori-
ginal question and an explanation
of the group’s membership. The
_eurious history of the firemen’s
“pand follows. S

During the six-week session, stu-
dents lived with’ families in Avig-

courtesy and.impeccable manners (to
the extent that one stiident: discov-
ered that the.boy of his family had
been sleeping on the floor forfour
weeks, so that the student cduld
have his bed). —

After the session, the students
traveled individually, primarily

. through England; Germany, and
Italy. They met in Paris before
returning home late in August.

Lhome—and

cally-inclined members of the Bryn
Mawr citizenry organized them-
selves to display their talents at
such public events as the Devon],
Horse Show, parades in Philadel-
phia, and the annual Bryn Mawr

Horse Show held on the present],

site of the Baldwin School. From
1904 to 1924 the band perfornted
in concerts which ‘were supported |.
by the wealthier citizens of the
community and held in a park
band ‘stand in an area known to
us now as the parking lot across
from the Bryn Mawr Trust. In
1942 the group disbanded since ‘so
many of its members were called

up by the draft. Following the],

war, the group re-organized.
Growing curious at this point

-1to know’ more about -our~ inform-

ant and his relation to the assem-
bled. musicians, we discovered that
jhe is Mr. Herman Giersch. He was

elected. conductor of the band in

the yea 1912. At this time he
was ‘well-known among its mem-
bership, having joined the group
17 #years earlier. From 1912 to
1935 Mr. Giersch and ‘his fetlow
performers rehearsed’ in the ma-
chine shop of Giersch’s Bryn Mawr
garage. When. Giersch lost his
in 1935 the
players, some of whom were vyol-
unteer firemen,’ began rehearsing
their. talents in the local fire-
house. For a number of years re-

AP ease enn

hhearsals were ‘held in the Bryn
“Mawr

public -school. Today the

band rehearses in the Red Cross

Building-in Berwyn, Pa.
Membership in the band is a

a



matter of tradition. The entire |
band today consists of, ‘35, imen
whose © fathers and grandfathers
may have been, members of. the
band and whose sons and grand-
sons someday probably shall be.
Mr. Giersch is such aman. His
grandfather was one of the band’s
original members and his ‘grand-
son is today a member.

For 56 years the band, whose
official title is The Bryn Mawr
Band, has given us musical guid-

ance in.our_ traditions. Mr.. Giersch |

is proud to say that he has not
missed one of those 56 years, and
can recall playing three or four
times a week during the “Big
May Days” in 1928. and 1932.
When asked to comment on get-
ting up to see the sun rise on
May Day morning, he replied, “We
enjoy it even if it is cold and wet
at times. I’ve been ‘there when it
has been so cold that we had to
wear overcoats and other times
when it has been so wet that we

had. to wear. raincoats, but _ the |.

girls go through with it regard-

May .Day past will attest to this
fact.

It is only on the “Reve Mawr
campus.
Band is known as The Firemen’s
Band. This title wa the -work of
some Bryn Mawr ae who in
1935 dey named the band after the
incake in-which-they were at that
time rehearsing. Names aside, we
gratefully extend to them “our
hearts. and. our hands” for their
