“Caucasian Circle” Ready Students Elect Gilpin, Atwood, Nosco,
For Weekend Showings Masur and Cross as Campus Leaders
The Bryn Mawr College Thea-
tre and the Haverford College
Drama Club will present. Bertolt
Brecht’s THE C AUCASIANCHALK ,
CIRCLE March 10 and 11 inGood-
hart Hall. Faith Greenfield, Chris
Kopff and James Emmons have
leading roles.
Brecht wrote the 48-character
play in 1944. ‘‘It’s a quite extra-
ordinary accomplishment —by
Brecht in making statements about
sentimental love which usually
come out Lux Liquid,’? summar-
ized Director Robert Butman. The
play itself takes place ‘‘in olden
times, in a bloody time” in a
Caucasian city. Brecht opposes
‘justice and goodness -- as exem-
plified by two of the principal
characters in the play, Grusha and
Simon -- to the evil and injustice
in the world. Brecht professed
communism, but the themes in
CHALK CIRCLE are meaningful
to all men. The title comes from
the story in ‘‘Solomon’’ of the two
mothers pleading for one baby.
Justice prevails when the real
mother reveals herself by refus-
ing to allow the King to cut the
baby in half. In Brecht’s play
the Judge draws a chalk circle
and tells the two women each
to take an end of the child and
_ pull.
Butman explained the philoso-
phy behind the set for the play.
One of the biggest problems in
producing a play at Bryn Mawr,
“he said, is fighting the nionstros- «
ity of Goodhart Hall. No set can
be monolithic enough to live up to
the Hall itself ‘‘unless they’re
crucifying Joan of Arc in the mid-
dle of the arch.’”’ Therefore, the
production staff is combining lights
with the set to help alleviate the
distance between the play and the
audience. The set includes six
platforms and a 10-foot tower
at one edge of the stage on which
the Narrator will sit.
Music will also be used to
bring all the elements of the play
together at“the last moment. John
Davison, of the Haverford College
Music Department, wrote music
for a previous production of
CHALK CIRCLE in Roberts Hall.
He will play piano and drums.

No Undergrad Speaker This Year,
Exec Board Buys Mimeo Instead
There will be no Undergrad
speaker this year, that organiza-
tion announced after its Monday
night meeting.
Margaret Edwards, dieieiien
President of Undergrad, gave as
reasons the following: (1) they
were unable, to get any of the
people suggested by the Commit-
tee for ‘the Undergrad Speaker
(2) members were generally un-
enthusiastic about other sugges-
tions made. She said that with
the money usually alloted for the
speaker Undergrad will purchase
a new mimeograph machine, and
whatever is left will go into the
kitty for next year’s speaker.
Questioned about the opinion of
some students that the Undergrad
speaker ought to be done away with
entirely, Margaret said that noth-
ing about it had been discussed at
all in Undergrad meetings.

for the Undergrad speaker, for
these reasons: I think there are
three kinds of speakers -- those
who’ll come for $25, those who
come for $200, and the ones who
cost about $1000. We can usually
only have thé last kind for occa-
sions like Baccalaureate and grad-
uation, and organizations such as
Alliance and Interfaith provide a
lot of speakers who come for from
$25 to $100. But the Undergrad
‘speaker? is about the only chance
the college has to hear a $200
speaker, and I think it needs the
chance. Now in years like this
when we can’t find a speaker for
$200 of the caliber we want, then
I think we should not have one --
‘which is what was done this time.
But in the past we have had speak-
ers such as Peter Verrick --.and
he was really good -- and I think
to do away with them would be
absurd.’’ Lola said she would like
to discuss this in future Under-
grad meetings. :

The. first round of campus
elections is over and seven new
presidents are preparing to take
over their offices after spring
vacation. They are:
Drewdie Gilpin for Self-Gov
Lola Atwood for Undergrad
Donna Cross for A,A,°
Judy Masur for Arts Council
Doris Dewton for Alliance
Sue Nosco for Curriculum

Cheri Morin for League
In.view of the pressing issue
of constitutional revision, Drew-
die’s attitude towards __ the
role of Self-Gov will be
very significant.
that ‘*the Self-Government system
cannot and should not act as mother
to the student body’’ indicated
a basic approval of the reforms
advocated by the Constitutional
Revision Committee. Drewdie now
has the opportunity to make Self-
Gov ‘‘provide catalysts for
the creative use of freedom by
individuals in their growth.”’
Lola, who understandably enough
bs opposed "tothe *abélition
of Undergrad, promises to keep
future Undergrad meetings from
being ‘“‘hateful.?? She plans
to stress, ‘‘interesting, im-
portant problems,’”? with an
emphasis on the crucial role of
the dorm reps as communications
links, She trusts that with an
updated calendar and ‘‘a list of
everyone who is in charge of any-
thing” she will be a mine

The fireworks of faculty show

at 8:30 in Goodhart, as the fa-

singing, dancing, talking, andplain

This year’s show, according to
Miss Mabel Lang, consists of a
variety of skits tied together very
*‘loosely’’, Since there is no one
theme, to label this original con-
stellation of faculty stars, it was
decided to assign the non-commital
title of ‘‘Faculty Show”’ to the pro-
duction, Although Miss Lang feels
the show is too amorphous for di-
recting, she is doing her best to
hold it together and call rehear-
sals every now and then,
About half of the faculty, their
wives, and any other non-student
they could persuade to be dragged
in are involved in the show, Stu-
dents have been allowed to help
with the technical aspects, how-
ever, And Miss McBride will be
there in spirit.
A “terrifically hot combo’ of
Bryn Mawr and Haverford faculty,
a porter, and ‘‘God knows what
else’ will keep the beat going
through the evening,
- “Sinceit is hard enough to
band the faculty together for one
_rehearsal, there will be only one
performance, says Miss Lang.
The money the show raises will

go towards the new library.

purchased from Betsy Gemmill

Police Apprehend
Villanova Boys
Last Saturday night three Villa-
nova freshmen were caught out-
side Rhoads by the Lower Merion
Township police, after having
broken into several campus
buildings.
It began in Pembroke, when the
lantern man was letting in some
girls just after 12:30, The three
boys, drunk, ran out of the build-
ing. The lantern man called the
police.
Later, a watchman saw them
passing things out of one of the
science building windows. Then a
faculty wife saw them lurking
around the Low Buildings, and
someone else reports seeing them
on the Merion fire-escape.
The police apprehended them
outside, Rhoads,
Mrs. Whelihan commented that
the campus should know that this
sort of thing does happen, and
that door-watchers should be alert.
she asks. ‘*Why not a Finger-
painting Festival?’? Judy pleads __
for the Outward manifestation of all
innér artistic urges.
Both Doris Déwton and“ Cheri
Morin would like to see increased
cooperation between their organi-'
zations. As Cheri said, ‘In
this day when economic, political,
and social welfare concerns
are intricately bound together, I
think that there are many
areas of mutual interest to which
League and Alliance could direct
their combined resources.”’
Sue Nosco, who hopes to
see a major expansion of Cur-
riculum Committee activities
under her presidency, made an
apt statement which might apply
to all the winners. ‘‘I guess since
I have been elected I’ll have to
figure out how to do all the —
I said I’d do.’?

What's This SELF Government?
‘*As many of you already know, Haverford’s Board
of Managers recently approved the Students’ Council
proposals concerning the -elimination of hours for.
women in the Haverford dorms,’’
_ So began the policy non-statement signed by Jane
Janover, out-going Self-Gov president, and distributed
on the Bryn Mawr campus Monday. It is a policy
non-statement, because it explicitly calls itself a
“request ... instead ... of a policy statement,” and
was characterized by a member of Executive Board
as being simply a ‘‘stop-gap measure’? until the new
board takes over. However, we see it as very clearly
a@ policy statement. It seems quite evident by the
wording that any girl who signs out overnight to
Haverford will be tried for violating the Honor Sys-
tem, exactly as it was before the Haverford changes
-- and this seems very much like a policy to us.
This Self-Gov statement affirming the past in spite
of present changes is justified by members of Exec
Board in two ways. One, because they didn’t want to
force an already formulated policy onto the new Board
as a fait accompli; and two, because they see things
at Haverford as being so chaotic and uncertain with
respect to the interpretations of thé changes that
they don’t want to interject anything which might
‘wreck it for them,’? In other words, they acted as
they did out of consideration for the new Board and
for Haverford College.
We would like to put in a few words for the group
apparently ignored (which is also the group most af-
fected by the statement): Bryn Mawr students. We
find neither of the two justifications in the above
/paragraph strong enough to rationalize the creation
of the statement without the student body’s knowledge
or help, It seems that it was done in a manner just
about as far from the idea of self-government as it
is possible to get.
We are not here suggesting what Bryn Mawr’s
reply to the Haverford changes should be. We are
merely suggesting that although Haverford Students’
,, Council should certainly be told of Self-Gov activities
(Council President Gene Ludwig has even proposed
that a member of Haverford Council sit in on Self-
Gov meetings and vice versa to improve communica-
_ tions) ‘there was no need to tell them prior to telling
. Bryn Mawr students (also according to Ludwig, the
_ Situation over there is not so confused as Self-Gov
- seems to think). And even more importantly, the
- whole idea of Bryn Mawr students simply being
- TOLD something by Self-Gov is contrary to its pur-
- 908es as an organization. _ :
There doesn’t seem to be any reason why a sys-
em similar to the Haverford Plenary Sessions could
10t be set up here, Hopefully, this is what will be
_Jone by the new Board when it is ready to make its

were flagrantly defying the govern-
ment; rather they were making
‘personal decisions about the kind
of people they ‘wanted to be and
the amount of protection they felt
they wanted from the government.
We felt a government imposing
more rules would be defeating its
own purpose. Therefore, while
trying to keep the constitution
simple, we attempted to give the
individual more personal respon-
sibility to make her own decisions,
yet retain a respect for the mem-
bers of the college and commun-
ity. The system does ask for trust
in our fellow students, but that is
asked in any working honor sys-
tem, and certainly in any work-
ing community. /

To the Editor:
The Bryn Mawr Chapter of the
Association of American Univer-

its support for student activities,
such as those undertaken by the
-Educational Goals Committee last
fall. Although there is a difference
of opinion among chapter members
about the individual proposals made
at that time, we endorse the stu-
dents’. concern with matters of cur-
riculum and other educational
goals. We feel that such openly ex-
pressed concern reflects a sense
of responsibility among the stu-
dents, and affords an example of
democratic procedure in education.

To the Editor: munity within that system. If we
have made some error in our

we should be condemned for pro-

validity of the status quo, and
only in considering change do we
give that change the possibility of
becoming the new status quo.
- As chairman of the Constitu-
tional Revision Committee, I feel
compelled to answer some of the
letters in the NEWS and some
comments heard around campus
to the effect that the work of our
committee was irresponsible and
not representative of the student
body. The committee was elected
this fall by the dormitories, which
should and did lead to a diverse ‘ere towne ot

Before we even considered
changes, we examined the role of
Self-Gov as our governing body,
and the kind of constitution it should
have. to make it most efficient and .
powerful. Looking at the constitu-
tion, we discovered that most of
its rules required acts of common
sense, not honor, nor responsibil-
ity, (e.g. the after dark rules), As
we. consider our community to be
under a social honor system, we
felt the basis of it must lie in
personal responsibility of the in-
dividual to the community.
It is essential to the success
of any government that the rules
express the will of its members.
Looking at our student body we
could only see a trend of apathy
towards the government and an
unopposed disregard for many of
its rules. However the students
did not feel particularly that they

~Draws Students,
“by Kathy Murphey
Pressures on the university
cussed by students, faculty,
and administration from Bryn
Mawr and other colleges at ‘an
Alliance conference on education
held in Erdman last Saturday.
The conference began with
a morning session on the issue of
how the university reflects the
problems, needs, and prejudices
of society. A panel moderated
~ by Miss McPherson and consisting
of Miss McBride, Mr. Phillip Lich-
tenberg of the School of
Social Work, Father McAnalty,
President of Duquesne University,
and Martin Kenner, a student at
the New School of Social Research,
' Opened the discussion.
2
‘The panel agreed that society
has come to exert more and more
influence on the university. Miss.
McBride pointed out that colleges
may have taken up programs such
as training mentally retarded
children. However, service de-
mands. may divert the university
from its real purpose, which is the
education of its students, Mr. Lich-
tenberg also emphasized the
danger of overplaying the service
role of the university to society.
Diversity in a liberal arts college
is necessary, and it must beware
.of too much concentration on vo-
cational training, or on polit-
ical involvement.
Martin Kenner stated that
students are beginning to object
to the pressure of a politically
biased society. which does not con-
sider Marxism an academic sub-
ject. At the same time, students
are seeking in their subjects’ a
relevance to the political problems
confronting them in society. They
would like an economics course,
for example, to probe the reasons
why two-thirds of the world is
_ impoverished when we live in such
a technically able society.
The afternoon panel, moderated
by Mr. Wallace MacCaffrey, pro-
essor of History at Haver-
ford, and membered by Mrs.
Marshall, Miss Rosemary Lauer,
a former graduate student at St.
John’s University and now at
Bryn Mawr, Marvin Wachman,
President of Lincoln University,
and Kathy Murphey, a Bryn Mawr
sophomore, picked up the
morning’s discussion on the point
of student pressure on the uni-
versity.
It was thought among the au-
dience - as well as ‘among
those on the. panel, that
communication should be opened
up between student, faculty, and
administration. Channels for stu-
dent influence on the decisions
of the university should be widened.
However, once a concern with
student opinion is demonstrated,
student initiative must be
expressed, As Miss McPherson
pointed out from the audience,
Adlai Stevenson said once, ‘‘It’s
much easier to fight for ideals
than ‘to live by them.’? When Mrs.
Michels suggested monthly meet-
ings of the entire student
body where all could give con-
structive | criticism and ideas
about the curriculum and other
college issues, the audience broke
into applause.

THE COLLEGE NEWS _
Friday, March 10, 1967 | q
by Marcia Ringel
The most remarkable thing
about Haverford Class Night is
its distinctively masculine flavor.
Pungent wine and rancid, sweet
cream and sour, somehow
it usually remains intense enough
to excite our appetites and as
a whole to satisfy them.
Freshman Weekend dates en-
sconced last Friday evening
in Roberts Hall were treated to
such a display of audience energy
as is rare at even a spectator-
sport college like Haverford. Im-
passioned Fords threw kisses,
hisses, and a myriad of paper
_airplanes_at. the several casts;
whose job was to render scripts
of varying value, the least valuable
being the sophomores’ un-
imaginative ‘‘Intermissions,’”’ an
adaptation from Lewis Carroll
with an unimpressive Alice. Sadly,
no one was. quite mad enough--
not even quite so mad as most
of the characters in the other
three plays.
The freshman onterhn, **Funny,
You Don’t Look Jewish, Gross-
man !”? provided, in the tradition
of Haverford freshman offerings,

a dean scene, wombat combat,
and a poignant Barclay room. A
‘‘Bratman” story, it was lent
sweetness and light by Alexis
Swan. (Boy Faggot), who won. the
Best Actress award--an interest-
ing development since last
year, when Cile Yow (Bryn Mawr
*67) was voted Best Actor. (Judges
are an unpublicized panel of pro-
fessors.)
“Howdy: A Warm Welcome’’
dealt subtly and cleverly in sym-
bols to tell’ what the juniors
‘think of Haverford’s expansion
program. Buffalo Bob(Dean Lyons)
plans to take over the Howdy Doody
Show by overcrowding the Peanut
Gallery (dorms), making a droll
Chief Thunderthud. his Provost, _
and so on. Having destroyed show
and showmen, BB warns us
that we alone are left to challenge
his authority and have 36 hours
to leave (expulsion), He is
carried stiffly away.as he was
carried on, a puppet like the rest.
Foggy and the Mouseketeers were
miraculous, and Dennis Lanson
won Best Actor as Howdy.
‘*Gullible’s Trips, or Super-
market Sell-Out’’ won the
Class of 67 the coveted Best Play
award for the second year ina row,
“a feat never before accomplished
in the history of Haverford
College,’’ according to the playbill..
Fairy Modmother, attractively
garbed and unattractively over-
acting, shows Jimmy _ that
**you can’t escape the system’? as
he had hoped in the beginning of
his Haverford career--a sober-
ing enough thought, considering
that these authors and actors are

soon to be systematized. Alice
Leib’s terrifying LSD chor-
eography won a_ special com-
mendation from the judges
and a deserved ovation from the
audience, since it was easily the
most professional part of the even-
ing. A huge Michelangelo set
(decals?) was truly magnificent.
As usual, two. plays were
fair, two were fine. The three that
focused on college life were best.
Why were they increasingly pessi-
mistic and depressing? And
convincing?
All four choréographers for
Class Night were Bryn Mawr
girls of the appropriate classes.
Girls were featured prominently
. in all ‘but the freshman play. Yet
that masculine touch mercifully
survived. Even the faculty skit
_ (whose point totally escaped me),
including only one woman, bore the
air of an all-male classroom.
If some ofthe undergraduates’
lines bore the air of an all-male
restroom, what of it? They love
it, it’s their tradition; and if poor
Dean Lyons can take it, anyone can,
