- Galbraith, Kaufmann, Boorstin Yr, Phillips, Miss Mellink Plan
At North Carolina Conference
by Kit Bakke
A trip to Chapel Hill is nice
any time, but I found it especially
delightful during symposium week,
The 1966 Carolina Symposium,
‘ entitled Man, Mind and Myth, in-
vited 40 students from other cam-
puses to stay at the University of
North Carolina, April 17-20, free
" of charge, to attend the symposium
lectures and seminars. The budget
for the symposium was over
$14,000, so the’ university could
afford to treat us well, both with
food and lodgings, and with the
treat of hearing and questioning
interesting and learned men on
everything from Vietnam to cab-
bages. z
The first event Sunday night was
a terrace buffet at the Morehead
Planetarium, given to the college
by one of their richest benefactors.
John Kenneth Galbraith, the key-
note speaker, was there, towering
over the rest of the guests, His
speech, like several others, was
rumored to be on Vietnam. It was,
and the audience reaction was
very strange. He was against our
being there, but in a very quiet,
reasoned ‘way, and the audience,
which was relatively conservative,
didn’t seem to get the point because
they clapped very heartily at the
end.
It may be that they were just
being polite. In fact, I was over-
whelmed with Southern Hospitality
during my whole visit. The sorority
where I stayed (it had a color TV)
went out of its way to be nice,and
all the kids and the professors I
met were marvelous,
On Monday, Dean Alan Richard-
son, a bishop of the Church of
England, and Daniel Boorstin, pro-
. fessor of American history at the
University of Chicago, spoke.
Richardson was a very sweet Eng-
lishman but his ideas were not well
received. He felt that the ‘*God
is dead’? movement had no merit
and that of all religions, only
Christianity was not a myth be-
cause it had historical basis. Most
interestingly, he actually said that
everything had already been
thought of, with the exception of
matters of scienc®. In other words,
all the philosophical questions that
could ever be answered had been
answered, It was not a very ‘en-.
couraging thing to say, especially
to a group of idealistic young col-
lege students.
H’ford Professor
To Deliver Talk
On Amer. Indian
Theodore B. Hetzel, chairman of
Haverford’s Engineering Depart-
ment, will discuss ‘The Religion
of the American Indian,’’ Wednes-
day, May 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the
Common Room, The lecture, spon-
sored by Interfaith, will be
illustrated with Mr. Hetzel’s own
photographs of Indian life.
Mr. Hetzel’s.-*tavocational in-
terest,’”? the religious life of
modern American Indian tribes,
has in the past 14 years taken
him all over the U.S, He is par-
ticularly interested in the mis-
sionary work of the Quakers, in
working with tribes such as the
Seneca and Mohawk of New York
- State, where Christian beliefs have
been grafted onto the old ‘*Long-
house’? religion with its corn fes-
tivais and healing ceremonies.
The Native American Church,
or the ‘peyote religion’’ of the
Oklahoma Indians, is another ex-
arcole of a ‘‘blend that’s uniquely
theirs’? of aboriginal white
_» den, for instance, are still ex-
" ..¢luded -- and Christian beliefs
and terminology. Mr. Hetzel will
also touch upon relations of var-
ious American Christian sects to
the modern Hopi, Navaho and
Alaskan ladians,
Boorstin very pointedly ignored
Vietnam and revealed his dislike
of Galbraith, by saying that the
term ‘‘affluent society’’ was very
crude and by making disparaging
remarks about Harvard. His lec-
ture itself was good but fairly
self-evident.
Tuesday was very exciting. Wal-
ter Kaufmann, the philosopher
from Princeton, spoke about myth
in literature, religion, and philoso-
phy. That night, Nelson’ Algren
gave a fascinating speech,
He was very bitter about our
being in Vietnam and, though it
wasn’t really relevant, had no com-
punction about saying that Lady
Bird ought to have a pillowcase put
over her cage to.stop her flutter-
ing. He was the one who talked
about cabbages. He felt that cab-
bages were neurotic and that their
peaceful appearance shouldn’t fool
anyone. He also said that anyone
who got up in the morning HAD
to be vaguely neurotic.
Tuesday, I also fell in with the
small and -harrassed end-the-war
group on the UNC campus, Ap-
parently several other symposium
guests did as, well, because one
UNC boy told me that he couldn’t
figure out why all of a sudden so
many people were agreeing with his
stand. At the moment UNC isplan-
ning a fast somewhat like ours,
I had to miss Wednesday’s
speakers because of plane times,
geology field trips and psychology
papers. But the formal speeches
themselves weren’t really the best
part. The best was. talking WITH
the speakers and the other stu-
dents.

Work on Exhibit
Five works by Artist in Resi-
dence Fritz Janschka are featured
in New Dimensions, an exhibit
sponsored by the Arts Council of
the YM/YWHA of Philadelphia.
Twelve artists have each con-

Italy, Turkey Archaeology Digs
Mr. Kyle Phillips and Miss
Machteld Mellink will be leading
archaeological expeditions to Italy
and Turkey respectively during
the summer and early fall months,
Mr. Phillips will be uncovering
Etruscan and Roman tombs and
Miss Mellink will be concentrating
on Bronze Age pots.
Mr. Phillips is leading a sum- ;

about 800-50 B.C. From their
excavation, they hope to document
a change from Etruscan to Roman

like to develop a pottery chronology

They will not be allowed to take
any of the material they dig up
out of Italy because of Italian laws.
However, they will be allowed to
study and publish their discoveries.
If the plans this summer go well,
this could conceivably become a
regular training session for grad-
uates and undergraduates at the
four schools. No academic credit
will be given, but the experience
could provide material for later
studies,

after next year.and has plans to
teach, |
A sdciology major, Ellen plans
to take undergraduate courses in
sociology and social work at either
Andres Bello University or °the
Central University of Caracas,
while sampling Venezuelan stu-
dent life.
She hopes to observe Venezuela’s
approach to sociology and social
work as related to its national
structure and problems, with spe-
cial attention to the way in which
it deals with difficulties resulting
from rapid industrialization and
urbanization,’ ae

like to do social work in the bar-
riadas, or slums, of the city.
Melissa will be spending her
year in Ecuador. She is majoring
in history, and Latin America is
her field of special interest.
For her project, Melissa would
like to compile a case study of
political-economic situations. She
plans to spend this summer im-
proving her Spanish to assist her
in Ecuador.

Alinsky’s method arousing a
community to improve itself*in-
volves the use of conflict as a
source of power. An enemy, such
as a school board, is singled out
and attacked, and in the process
of the fight, the resources of the
community are organized, The ex-
perience gained through conf ronta-
tion with an enemy enables the
community to negotiate with him at
the proper time.
With the increased public inter-
est in the War on Poverty and the
_ Civil Rights problem, Alinsky’s
influence has grown, according to
Mr. Rein. He has received much
publicity in the Wall Street Journal
and Fortune Magazine. Charles
Silverman included a chapter con-
cerning.Alinsky’s participation in

with a cook from Ankara and hire
workmen to do most of the digging.
This is the last season they plan
to spend at this site. It is an early
Bronze Age cemetery and settle-
ment house. Their finds have con-
sisted of primarily pottery, with
some copper or bronze jewelry, a
few stone idols and some bone
needles.
The pots were both burial gifts
and coffins. People were buried in
the large ones and the small ones
were given as gifts. These par-
ticular pots are dated at about
2400 B.C.
This project is sponsored and
financed by the college. Like Mr.
Phillips’ expedition, they will not
be allowed to bring any of their
discoveries out of Turkey. This
site is the only large cemetery
of the Bronze age in southwest
Turkey.
Beethoven Mass
Outstanding Work
In Joint Concert
by Alice Ely Chapman, '66
The Bryn Mawr College Chorus
and the Haverford College Glee
Club, with the College Orchestra,
joined in concert Saturday night,
directed by Robert Goodale and
Robert Goss.
The concert began with a con-
certo for oboe and string orches-
tra by a Baroque composer, Mar-
cello.
Ed Hazzard, the soloist, gave
the work a warmth and vitality
which is often lacking in Baroque
music. He used ornamentation with
moderation. Alexander Blachly
(H’ford ’67), the conductor, showed
an acute understanding of the music
he’ was performing, keeping avery
good balance between the soloist
and the rest of the orchestra.
This was especially true in the
slow second movement, which was
very moving. The only factor which
did not enhance the work was the
pitch problem, especially in the
violin section.
The major work of the evening
was the’ Mass in C Major by
Beethoven,
The high point of the entire
-work. was the Credo, in which
Mr. Goodale brought out the great
contrast between the delicate and
robust often found in Beethoven.
The soloists, Pat Pastore, soprano;
Sarah Matthews, alto; Howell Zu-
lich, tenor, and Robert Goss, bari-~
tone, blended very well.with them-
-selves and with-the entire Orches-
tra, On the whole, the concert
was enjoyable and a very elegant
ending to the season,
