QQ’ given at'8 p.m., ‘November’ 21,

22, 23, Roberts Hall, Haverford.
‘*No one should miss it.”

When asked how he has inter-
preted the play, Mr. Butman re-
plied that ‘‘I found in-working with
HAMLET that the imposition of any

‘particular interpretation tends to
hold-.up- the action,
have directed the play simply to

bring out as much of the matter,
‘ emotional and intellectual, as pos-

sible, As much goes on behind
-the text. as in thetext, which is
one reason why-it is so important
to see a play, One can read and
study a script: for years without
being able to visualize the real
tensions of a scene, For exam- .
ple, when Rosencrantz and Guil-
denstern; usually considered jokes
in the play, are presented uncut,
one finds that the emotional ex-
changes between them and Hamlet
are as important as the dialogue.
One sees, also, an’ interesting
facet of their characters develop
as they are pulled slowly into the

« king’s orbit against their real but

weak desire to be friends with
Hamlet,’

The cast and crew, now yin their
seventh week . of production; find
the experience of HAMLET ex-
hilerating and emotionally ex-
hausting. Some of the excitement
lies in discovering that even the
minor parts_are vital. Those in-
volved in the show have come to
appreciate, for instance, the de-

- light ‘of the second grave digger,

the dumb, show, and’ Cornelius and

"__ Voltemand,
ae. the ‘inclusion of such minor —

parts, the. play as a whole‘makes
more sense. Its amazing com-

plexity is more fully apparent and

‘appreciable. At the end ofthe play:

-.one has the feeling that every-

thing has fit perfectly into a whole,
This” completeness heightens the
power of the most famous scenes,
such as the Closet scene, Ophelia’s
mad scenes, the ghost scenes, the

“slaughter house’’ ending,” and

Hamlet’s soliloques. *

.. An interesting incident occurred
in rehearsal ‘recently. Mr. But-
man relates that,
read ‘To be or, ‘not. to be’ five

different’ ways one after another.

think we know so well.”’

The stage production has been

planned to allow the possibilities
within the play free expression
and to emphasize its northern
setting. The set, designed by

Chris Glass, is a highly functional .

one, coriveying in its simplicity
and starkness of line both the
tragic mode of the play and the
sparse vigor of the court of Ham-

been head of the Department of
Economics and Sociology at Hood
College, . taught Economics at
Hunter College and wasaFellowof

Last Thursday. morning white
and Negro demonstrators gathered
at the. Franklin School in Chester
in an attempt to keep it closed for
the third successive day. They
linked arms and sang as they
blocked the entrances.

In front of them, picketers, un-
fortunately without many signs,
circled slowly. Across the street
stood many local Negroes, It was

that most of Chester’s Negroes

8:45, Then almost the entire police
force: appeared and advanced
toward. the school,

The stand-ins and picketers con-
tinued as before. Every time the

police pulled someone from the .

lines at the school doors someone
else would* move in to close the
line. The demonstrators kept their
arms linked together, making it
difficult to separate them. Many

few had to be carried, but there
was ‘nothing that-could-be-called

police or demonstrators.

The police were arresting the
picketers as well as the stand-ins.
They later tried to justify this ac-
tion by saying the picketers were
in their way, which was no doubt
true.

At the’ police station we were
sent into a cell block with the cell

prisoners arrived, everyone
cheered, shook hands, and slapped

amusing examples from her own

experience of the tasks facing th
biographer.

With regard to Francis Bacon,
Mrs. Bowen said that she not only
had to have a knowledge of the
legal and political scenes but also
of the scientific world, for Bacon
was a man of many. talents and
interests.

Mrs. Bowen described herself
as an ‘‘historical journalist” since
she had to learn about the prevalent
ideas of the period and the people
with whom Bacon was acquainted
even though she did not include
much of this material in the book,

*“‘The balance between history
and personality,’’ or her subject’s
motivation was another area Mrs.

‘Bowen had to consider as biogra- -

pher.: She also deScribed several
incidents in which her interest in

a particular historical event led |

her from “the fundamental line
of the story.’’ This ‘question. of
emphasis,’’ she explained, has to
be-decided.-by historical judgment
which she defined as in part coming
from..the ‘‘writer’s original chro-
mosomes,’’

Her study of Bacon’s continued
mishandling’ of money led her to
delve into a psychiatric treatment
of “money while her attempts to
find out what Bacon Ildoked like
led her to England where she found

Civil Disobedience ra





*. The arrest of four Bryn Mawr students in the
-Chester school demonstration raises questions
‘regarding not only the relationship of the stu-

dents’ action to the college’s ‘‘discredit clause,’’
but also the inherent legality of their behavior,
The discredit clause states:
The Executive Board reserves the right
to act at any time it. feels thata student’s
conduct is contrary to the spirit of the
rules or brings discredit to the College,
even though such conduct may not be
specifically dealt with by the ... rules.
Any action which brings unfavorable no-
tice to a student and thus lowers the
prestige of the College, which damages
its reputation in the public’s eye, or
which results in the demoralization of
the Self-Government system, is consid-
ered as discreditable to the College.
It is: inconceivable that a student’s effort to
alleviate the deplorable conditions at the Ches-
ter—school, or to contribute to the nationwide

struggle for civil rights would lower the prestige.

of Bryn Mawr. A student might personally ob-
ject to having a police record, which could follow
her the rest of her life, But this must be an in-
dividual decision. The arrest itself is not in-
herently discreditable.

Bryn Mawr’s association with the civil rights
movement does.in no way ‘‘lower the prestige’’.
of the college. Any of Bryn Mawr’s attempts to

_instill_in students a-regard.and respect. for the.
worth of man by its liberal educationis consist-

ent with the aims-of the civil rights movement,

It is because of the aims of this movement
that the inherent conflict of legal issues can be
resolved, It was, of course, illegal for. the
students to block the door of the school, because
of the public nature of the place and the result-
ant fray. Nevertheless, all previous non-violent
efforts to alleviate the school situation. had been
ignored, The School Board chairman had denied
receiving a letter from theprotestors regarding

the condition of the school, When every peaceful

‘attempt: fails, the mildest, least objectionable
display of force is ‘not unreasonable or un-
warranted,

None of the Chester residents were harmed
in. the demonstration, nor were there any undue
‘disturbances of the peace, The conditions of the
school were cextalaly sufficient grounds for.
_ protest. i

When the issues have been weighed; ‘the hae
mand for human liberty assumes the greatest
im gpg and civil disobedience is a reason-
ab even necessary, action.

Picketing —

as ‘‘disorderly conduct’’ in City
Hall, .

At present all charges have been
dismissed, the school board has
agreed to the eventual _demoli-
tion of the school, an immediate
transfer of 168 students to other
schools; abandonment of a boiler
room as a classroom, and trans-
formation _ of the coal-bin into. a
shelter,

It is alleged that being arrested
is a violation of the self-gov.:

rules, that it brings dis credit upon
the college. ‘This implies that being
arrested is in itself discreditable

and is based on the assumption that

law is an end in itself,

I believe that law is a means
to an end as are methods of nego-

tiation such as meetings and let-

ters, If desired ends -cannot be
achieved within the law or by
normally accepted methods of
negotiation, then new methods must
be adopted, —

This is exactly what. was done
in ‘Chester. ‘Rather than _bringing
discredit upon the college I: sug-
gest that the participation | was
highly creditable,

It is also felt that the students
who. participated in the demonstra-
tions did not fully understand the
Situation and were not prepared
for the events. In certain cases
this is definitely true as the stu-
dents themselves have indicated,
_ It is hoped that the Civil Rights
Club, having had this first exper-
ience, will be prepared in the future

to give proper preparation to stu-~

dents who. wish to participate,

Miss McBride opened the 1963-
64 school year voicing thevhope
that students would be direct par-
tigipants in the struggle of the
Negro to achieve full equality or,

more generally, to achieve ‘‘free- .

dom.’’

More Pro

To the Editor:

In answer to complaints that
the four Bryn Mawr students who
were arrested in Chester last
Thursday have brought discredit on
the college, I think that these stu-
dents have possibly brought great
credit to the college. The col-
leges of Swarthmore, Bryn Mawr

. and Haverford are often regarded

as highly intellectualized centers
of learning, with very little con-
nection to the real world outside
the college community. The stu-
dents arrested in Chester have
Shown that they have an aware-
ness of the outside world and of
politics, a very necessary aware-

ness,~ : :

We must also draw the distinc-
tion between being arrested for
disturbances: having no long-range
cohstructive purposes, such as

. drunken driving, and being

To the Editor:

I-wonder if those girls who went
to Chester last week to picket and
unlawfully block the entrance to the
elem



_ sidered the consequences of their

action. The Self-Gov constitution

states that “any action which—
j brings
dent and thus~lowers the prestige ~-

vorable notice to astu-

of the college, which damages its
reputation in the public’s eye...
is considered as discreditable to
the College,’” and the Exec Board

reserves the right to act in these

cases,
There is no doubt in my mind

that intentionally breaking the law

and consequently being arrested
and put in jail (hardly a “respec-
table public accommodation’’) is a
discreditable action. There are

arguments on both sides of this .

_mMatter - especially since it is con-
cerned with the current civil rights

. movement, The girls may. argue

that this was an entirely individual
action and does: not concern Bryn

Mawr College as such, but they —

cannot deny that it was announced

as-an Alliance activity and that a ,

college station wagon was usedfor .

transportation to Chester.

In. my opinion any action taken
by a Bryn Mawr student, especially
when she is in residence at the
College, must ‘be. considered a
reflection on the entire College
community,
that some persons. feel that thene .
was justification ‘for , What these
girls did, I cannot personally feel’
proud of them nor feel that they

Chamber Music

To The Editor: 6

On Sunday, November 10, the

Although I realize

‘.

Chamber. Music Group gave acon=

cert in Goodhart, Bernie Berman
and Madame Jambor ended the pro-

gram with an exquisite piece for®

violin and piano by Leo Weiner. The

enjoyment of such artistic excel- |
lence is indeed a rare privilege and

many found the piece, as rendered,
very moving. ~

Several measures after the be-
ginning of the last movement, how-
ever, Madame Jambor. made a
technically breathtaking run up the
scale only to endon the highest and,
maddeningly, flattest notes of the
piano,

There is really no excuse for
this sort of thing, A Bryn Mawr
piano should be tuned no earlier
than the day beforea performance,
or) being a poor piano, it will go out
of tune of its own accord, Tohave
any performer play on a poorly
tuned instrument is almost a sign
of disrespect. Therefor e, care
should be taken that such a thing
never happens .again,

While the first dct drags through

the setting up of the plot and the

introduction of characters, the play

is quite: entertaining, if one is
willing to accept the genre: turn-
of-the-century romantic comedy,

The play’s biggest problem lies
in\ the transposition of a French
story into English, If one imagines
the actors speaking French instead
of English, they seem much funnier
and more plausible. Whether the
fault lies with the director or
Christopher Fry’s adaptation is
chard to. say. Perhaps it is a little
of both, Many of the lines seem
utterly out of place in an English

For NSA Cut

In Revised Undergrad Budget

- The remaining parts of the Com-
mon Treasury budget were passed
Monday night .at. the Undergrad —
meeting. There was debate on
several items, resulting in a re-
duction of budgets for NSA, and:
College Inn improvement.

Students first objected to the
proposed budget of $921 for NSA
on the grounds that the amount
was disproportionate to other or-
ganization budgets and to NSA’s
role on campus.

The ensuing item-by-item de-
bate on the budget, however, re-
vealed only five places where it
was felt the budget could be cut,
and a total reduction of $180 was
finally voted.

The cuts were ntade in the fol-
lowing items:

(1) -The’ conference allotment,
which could enable NSA to send
students (at half fare) to the Re-
gional, East Coast, and ‘‘Unan-

nounced’? NSA _ conferences, was’

cut from $185 to $135;.

(2) . The budgets tor Educational

dent travel agency) and National
Service Corps program (the
domestic parallel to the Peace
Corps, which has been proposed
by Congress) were deleted;

(3): The monies requested for
receptions. for foreign student
delegations on the Bryn Mawr
campus and for speakers on ‘‘Why
NSA?”’ were reduced to $80.

There was also debate on the
increase of $360 for the Social
Committee, but +a majority felt
strongly that impetus for more
and better social fdfictions is
needed on campus, and the budget
was sustained,

In summary, Undergrad has,
during the last three weeks, voted
approval ‘on $7070 of the proposed
$8,895 Common Treasury budget,
with $725 for food for AA teams,

Two Suviai Youth Lenders
_ Discuss Issues at B. M. G;

"Last Tuesday evening ‘two young Communism are banned in the
Soviet intellectuals discussed with Soviet Union. The questioner sug-

Bryn Mawr students questions gested°that such censorship shows

_ ranging from dancing the twist to

_Stalinism and press censorship. -

Gennadiy Eliseyev, president of

_the“Volgagrad branch of the Com=~

somol (the major Soviet youth or-
ganization), began the discussion
by emphasizing the need for under-
standing and friendship between
young people of different countries,
Alexander Krivolapov, a mem-
_ber ‘of the editorial board of the
--Comsomol newspaper, spoke of
“the role of the Comsomol in in-
structing youth on moral or ethi-
cal problems. When asked why.
such instruction is necessary, he
replied that community action
makes problems easier to solve
and that an individual should adjust

his thoughts and values to the ©

majority. Russian newspapers,
they stated, are as honest as those
of any other country. — 5

It was asked why books by Trot-
ony and others judged harmful to

a lack.of faith in the Soviet people’s

convictions about” tiie~communist~
system. The Russians replied that
_they—saw no value in publishing ~
lies and wrong. ideas, Anyway, .

they added, a shortage of paper
makes it possible to publish ety
what is most valuable.

In answer to other questions

they said that there is no “offi-

cial’? barrier to emigration from
the Soviet Union; that the ‘‘mis-
takes”? of the Stalinist era were
caused by Stalin himself, not by
the social system; and that leaders
of, modern movements in art and
literature, such as Yevteshenko,
have never been repressed,

The two Comsomol representa-
tives then asked a few questions,
revealing an interest in and know-

_ledge of the Negro movement and

unemployment .problems in this
country.
