~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.

‘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.
