- Undergrad Passes Part | Petitions Request ~
Of Its Proposed Budget New Dress Rule,

With only a few of last week’s
_protests in evidence, the proposed
budgets for five of the six Com-
mon Treasury-subsidized organi-
zations were passed at Monday’s
Undergrad meeting. Not all were
passed in entirety, however, and

. items in A A and Leagues budgets

remain in question.

Alliance’s $950 budget was
passed as proposed in spite’ of
objections: raised -about: the allot-
ment for posters ($150) and for
clubs ($150). Ilene Winkler asked

“for clarification of Undergrad’s
fiscal policy on clubs which .are
sponsored by Undergrad-affiliated
organizations. Alliance sponsors
Debate Club: and International
Relations Club,

Dorothy Meadow, explained that
if a club is considered a service
to the campus, it can receive funds

from the Gommon Treasury. Ilene™

then suggested that since: clubs
confine\their membership tosmall
numbers. of students, they should
collect .money by levying dues.

The Arts Council, budget, of
$804 including a $204 increase,
was passed as is.

BMC Audience Learns
John Cournos Started

~~ Poetry Career At 79.

By Patricia Dranow

At 82, John Cournos is a poet

of only three years’ standing. Be-
fore' he began writing poetry, he
had aseéiiés of literary and political
careers. He has written novels,

biographies, plays and assorted-

other books. But Mr. Cournos was
not at Bryn Mawr on Tuesday

evening to tell us about his intér- ~

esting life.

He ‘was here ‘‘to show the dif-
ference between men’s powers of
life and women’s,’’ To do this, he
retold the myth of the Garden of

Eden, painting Adam as rather a

dull chap and Eve as the motiva-
tion for Adam’s creativeness as
well as his misadventures, Without
a muse, man is not inspired, Nor
can _ he create until he has had sad

experience. Mr, Cournos holds poet gohn Cournos recites his poetry at Arts Council sponsored pro-

‘Eve’? responsible fo r both in-
Spiration and sorrow.

While this: was his general theme
Mr. Cournos?’ talk was more like
a conversation than a lecture, It
could not have“béen read by any
other voice..In the: manner of con-
versation, ‘the speaker drifted away
from the main branch of his subject
to make a variety of observations;

*tAs a child ] never hadatoy...”

44] followed no rule and I don’t.

tead any poetry.’?

.**Poetry has no-social statis but
only human status,”’

Mr, ,Cournos also read us some
poems from his book WITH HEY
HO ... AND THE MAN WITH THE

‘ SPATS (Astra Books, New York
1963), and others which have not
yet been published,

Among them were ballads, ob-
servations on modern life-and hum-.
orous pieces. Before reading each
ore, he gave us some background |
‘on the Writtfig’ or mc Ce, =. we
spoke’ rather than read most ‘of the
poems for as he says, of himself,

-*J happen to have a very: nice’
memory.’’

The $315 team food and $100
hockey workshop items in the A,A,
budget were withdrawn for con-
sideration next week, and the rest
of the $700 budget was approved.
A, A, officials will discuss with
the Administration the possibility
of having College pay for dinners
missed in the halls because of
varsity’ games and for the hockey
work camp in the fall.

The League ‘budget, $575, after
debate on the $292 allotment for
transportation _ rgimbursenient,
was passed. except forthe $310
item for the Maids and Porters.
The Administration will be asked
to consider. subsidizing the Maids’
and Porters’ dance which costs
League $290.. There was some
difference of opinion of League’s
reimbursement of transportation
since most of it is used in con-
junction” ~ with the----Tutorial
Project and all presentBryn Mawr
tutors have rides, League repre-
sentative pointed out that an in-
crease in. Tutorial . Project
participation is expected, so that
the funds will be used up. If not,
the money will provide a balance
‘for next year.

The Self-Gov. budget of $380
was’ passed as is. Only the Under-
grad*budget of $5386 remains for
in toto consideration next week.
Undergrad is. asking for an. in-
crease of $1315 for loan, NSA,
Social Committee and College Inn
projects.



Change In Hours

At present there are two
petitions circling the.campus, One
would allow. the halls to decide
what time men may stay in the
rooms up until 10:30 p.m., the

time at which the halls officially _

close,_The other petition. would,

permit the halls todetermine their -

own dress rules within the dorm.

The main issue, as seen by
Sally Harris, Secretary of Self-
Gov,, is whether the dorms them-
selves should be allowed to settle
policy on these points.

Since both the petitions would
create a change inthe Gonstitution,
ten per cent of the campus must
sign them in order to bring these
questions up for legislation. Then,
if passed, each hall will vote to
determine its own policies,

There are. positive. and.negative
sides to both of the petitions.
Negatively, they would aid in
creating. #orm images by setting
a precedent for individual policy.
It can be argued, however, that the
halls are now allowed to decide
what time men may enter rooms
in the morning, Pembroke’s hours
are 6:30, for example, while
Rhoads’ are 10:30. Even if ac-

cepted, these rules will fluctuate
since the halls would have to vote
upon them each-year,.

The ‘positive side rests iia
on the convenience which the rule
changes provide.

Ellen Gross Elucidates Functions

Of N.S.A.’s Two Commissions

By Constance Rosenblum

‘ NSA- because it is unique-in trying
to express -American student
Opinion ‘in a bi-partisan manner,
It is not completely successful at
this time, because it-does not pro-
vide life or ‘death answers, » But
it can open broader horizons to
students and introduce them to
problems to which they would not
otherwise have been exposed.”’

It is for these reasons that Ellen
Gross, president of Self Gov, is in
favor of NSA and would urge its
Support on the Bryn Mawr campus,

“To understand the functioning of
NSA, it is necessary to be familiar

with the International Commission

(IC), the raison d'etre of the organ-
ization.» The IC is stronger than

oe

the National. Commission (NC) for
the following reasons;

1. Students involved in the IC
have specific. international inter-
ests and training, therefore they
are more professional, Their
training is more serious and many
are often interested in entering
foreign affairs. American affairs.
American students . receive less
benefit. It is less necessary, for
example, that they speak four lan-
guages -or. be. particularly well
informed on foreign affairs.

2. IC has better financial sup-
port, because, for example, more’
philanthropic American companies
‘will give money to fight Com:.amét=
ism abroad,

WBMC transformer; a disaster Friday night in Pem basement.

Disaster Hits WBMC

As Equipment Melts

Smoke coming from the base-
ment of Pem East led to the dis-
covery Friday. night of a mal-
functioning WBMC _ transmitter,
Students who got into the locked

io station through a- window
found that WBMC’s- recently
purchased transformer-had started
to’ melt and almost burst into
flames.

Lance Jackson of Haverford’s

WHRC told a COLLEGE NEWS.

reporter that the wrong consoles
in the transmitter ‘had been left
on for a period of twenty-four
hours, eausing the transformer-to
overheat, .

‘Certain .consoles,- or . radio
tubes, are always left. on in a
radid station,’? Lance explained,
‘since it results in more wear
to turn the consoles on and off
than to leave them on overnight.’’

‘The new transformer, bought
several weeks ago at a cost of

_ $63.50, ‘had been used success-

fully for two nights before.

Mako Yamanouchi, head-of Bryn ~
“explains” below”

Mawr’s _WBMC,
what the result of Friday night’s

disaster will be. ~

We of WBMC have decided that
the best course for us to take
now is to buy entirely new equip-
ment and build new transmitters
with built-in transformers to place
in each hall, These we will receive
directly from Haverford’s WHRC,

‘Hamlet’ Demands
Players’ Ingenuity

The joint production of HAMLET
by the Bryn Mawr College Theater
and the Haverford Drama Club, to
be presented on November 21, 22,
and 23, has entered the final stages
of preparation, A full cast re-
hearsal began last Sunday night.
The four-level set,- designed by
Chris Glass, Haverford ‘64, is also
nearing completion.

Director Robert Butman is most

enthusiastic: at theprospect of pre--

senting the full play, which will
run about four hours, andstresses
that, *‘in this production, everyone
has. to be a lead, In-any of Shake-
speare’s plays, with a very few
exceptions, certainly not

. HAMLET, any one character, how-

ever ‘*minor’’ is -enough to = be
lead in any three, consecutive
plays.’? Munson Hicks, who will
play Hamlet, adds, ‘Only: by doing
the full play can we grasp its full
meaning, for every part and por-

tion is violently important, \as in a

symphony,’

“Phe vivid poster, bearing the
skull-faced visage of Hamlet’s”
father’s ghost, was also designed
by Chris Glass, and will be used
as the program design.

Another Protest

To the Editor:

There are a number of tremen-
dously helpful and courteous mem-
bers of the library’ staff who are
willing to give assistance regard-
less of whether the request is as
complicated as finding a lost book
or as simple as locating the Art
Study or the Cataloging Room.

«I have, however, been shocked by
the rude and abrupt manner and
unpleasant attitude of some mem-
‘bers of the Staff in reply to unisied
voiced queries,

ye at the College, One automobile atthe disposal
of 700 stiidents is hardly adequate, Furthermore,
this one car, if and when it is available, costs
nore to operate ona mileage basis thana rented

enough to. pay for its entire expenses including
zas, oil, insurance, _Maintenance and

Public transportation simply: is ‘rot that good;

one more car, it would help. But the problem
is more. serious, Had the COLLEGE NEWS

last spring and this fall, there would have
been times when it could not have published.

I wish these members of in

have learned them, none of us is

James Reston, head of the

as a result of the ‘“counter-

Mr. Reston appealed to the Re-

it assumes that government and:

asserted,
He called on the audience to

‘assume a larger perspective, since

‘most of the men in the news
are in the same boat -- none
are in command of events --
all of them-are. manded_ by

both the influence gf divergent
political party ideologies and the
extent. of individual political
responsibility. Pragmatism thus
the touchstone. In
describing the world the Press
deals with he stressed the series
of revolutions which« were.

‘the technological , © - revolution,

‘ Turning to the national scene,
Mr. Reston described the pre-
valent mood of “weariness and

Loneliness Of A Singular Man

by Pilar Richardson

J.P. Donleavy, author of THE
GINGER MAN has just (Nov. 7th)
published a new book called THE

’ The story is about a certain |

George Smith who has managed to

At the _beginning of the book we

Woodwind Quintet Illustrates”
Color, Precision in Concert

The Philadelphia Woodwind

the Philadelphia Orviestra, gave a
workshop last Wednesday after-

by ‘An evening concert.

Mr. Sol Schoenbach, their bus-

BLACK NATIVITY, with its orig-
in Broadway cast, is now playing

in Philadelphia for two weeks as

part of its United States tour.

The first act of the show is a

re-enactment of the nativity, with
gospel songs. Moving and vibrant,
in themselves these songs serve
as a frame for the two Negro

seph. This young couple dances
until the agony of the phrase *‘no

in the air.

The - production achieves its
greatest success when the dancers
appeal to each of the singers to
“let them in,’’ for at that moment

a bridge is formed between the °

gospel songs of mddern times and
the desperation of Mary andJoseph

Many of the songs are familiar
to modern folksong enthusiasts.

who has performed at Carnegie

letters. He is lonelier than ever
and we discover that he is sep-
arated from a money-grabbing wife
and four children.

CHASES AND RUNS

In the latter half of the book,
Smith spends his time running
after a succession of provocative
women, writing obscene replies to
the threatening letters, building his
mausoleum, -and warding off people
who.are constantly begging him for
money. The book ends as Smith
watches the sea burial of the one
_woman he truly loved.

SHOCKING YET POETIC

The. language of the book is
destined to shock even the most
hardened reader of PEYTON
PLACE and LADY CHATTERLY’S
LOVER. Yet, ‘one soon finds that
this. sordid language heightens the
utter loneliness of a man. who is
so-rich that he has no friends and

\. so _love-sick. that .he can find no

happiness in affairs.

_The sentences and phrases of
this book often resemble beat poet-
ry. The confusion and babble of a
cocktail
the jumble of broken sentences in
one long descriptive passage.
These fragments are more.in the

‘line- of a personal sense impres- ~~

Sion than an objective description.

Some of Donleavy’s metaphors
-are particularly imaginative and
show that his talents lie more in
the realm of poetry than in lurid
descriptions of love affairs. One
example of, this style is the pic-
ture of Smith smelling a drink:
“Sniff the wheat drifting up through
soda bubbles.”’

One the whole, the book is in-
teresting. in its approach to the
characters, although physical
emotions’ are often over-empha-
sized.

Of Student Car Privileges.

The driving rule, longa con-
troversial subject at Bryn Mawr,

“is being carefully examined by both

Self: Gov. and the Administration
this year, According to Self Gov.
president, Ellen Gross, informa-
tion gained from students who now
have driving privileges will be
used in consideration of ehanges in
the’ present rule,

Three considerations, were dis-
_cussed. when the driving rule was
reviewed two years ago, They
included; safety, in regard to own-
_ ing as well. as operating a car

on. campus; the fact that the cam-
pus and the surrounding area could
not accomodate an increase in
motor vehicle activity and parking;
andthe. comparatively good public
transportation available.
.. However, Ellen Gross reported
that ‘‘these are not necessarily the
considerations «which either Self
Gov. or the Administration today
is concerned with, Right now both
Executive Board and the Admini-
stration ar “the process of

discussing student. activity and

driving.”
At the present time, approx-
imately fifteen students have per-
mission to.own or operate acar.on
‘campus, These permissions have
been granted by Executive Board,
which has the authority to give
permission even for academic
reasons,
In addition to.a number of stu-
‘dents who are allowed to drive for
personal reasons, a few are also
able either to operate or to keep a
car in the area for academic and
extra-curricular reasons, Mem-
bers of both AIESEC and the
COLLEGE ‘NEWS have driving per-
mission, as well as certain resi-

dents of the Co-operative. House, *

Blues Music

The lecture will also cover Mr.

King’s aims. in blues singing.
‘‘Blues have to be lived,’’ he says.
«*] want to bring (them) out of my
ethnic background, and J want to do
it beautifully.
. An additional touch to Mr. King’s
blues. and folk-songs.is the accom-
paniment of bass-player Carroll
Holloway, who... weaves. a second.
melody in the intervals between
the verses.

Mr. King has sung over the past

five years in folk rooms in Phila-.’

delphia, Boston and New York.
He wants to sing at Bryn Mawr
because of its ‘‘Dignity, high cul-

. tural level and-pretty girls.’’

Mr. ‘King, who has worked with
classical and choral music, be-
came interested in folk music a
few years. ago, and especially
interested in blues because of its
purity.

“vevalways been saeamaaia’ in
people,’’ he says, ‘‘and if you want
to find out what people are really
like,. you should check their
music,’’

*¢you can see the refleotinn of
the™ gypsies in. their ‘music, the
expression of aggressive youth in
rock ‘n roll, the character of the
Germans even in music like the
Valkyrie,

Of course, these*rules-are not
merely administrative policy.
They are principles implanted
firmly in the heart of every Haver-
fordian,. In fact, the ‘‘Boy Scout
Pledge’”’ of Haverford, no doubt,

adhered to strictly by all students,

hangs in its place of honor in Ro-
berts Hall as the symbol of ‘‘Spit
