‘In White America’ At H’ford

Is History of Negro in U.S.A. To Cover Coll

**In White America’? by Martin
Duberman, presented by the Hav-

erford Art Series in Roberts Hall.

Sunday, December 5, was a docu-
mentary and dramatic history of
the Negro in America, '

The program was a depiction
at once of the evolution of his
outward position from that of a
slave, a-creature considered to
possess virtues approximately in-
termediate between those of a
white ‘man and those of a beast,
to that of a free man and citizen
recognized as having at least the
legal rights of the white.

In the course of the .evening,
the audience watched the develop-
ment of the Negro’s inner atti-
tude toward his fate from the
despair of thewretched soul choos-
ing death in the jaws of sharks
over life in the hell of a slaver’s
hold to the steadfast resolve of
the avowed revolutionary who de-
demands a recognition of his dig-
nity as a human being.

This curious and powerful pre-
sentation consisted of a series of
dramatizations of excerpts from
authentic documents with a brief
connecting narrative to provide
the historical context and musical
interludes of appropriate frag-
ments from aheritageof spirituals
and freedom songs. Y

All the impersonations were
done by a cast of four men --
two Negro, two white -- and two
women -- one Negro, one white
-- in street clothes, who passed
from one role to another with
amazing virtuosity.

A book-strewn desk, a plain
wooden bench, and a few simple
wooden chairs on a low platform
composed the set. Excellent light-
ing helped to produce some fine
dramatic. effects and memorable
tableaux.

The material of the script,
drawn from a wide variety of
sources -- a contemporary ac-
count of the African slave trade,
a Georgia girl’s journal from the
days of the Civil War, the ‘‘Con-
gressional Record,’’ to give a
random sampling -- ranged from
the horrifying to the touching, to
the amusing, to the deeply mov-
ing. Two of the most impressive
and successful renditions were
those of a rabid Southern Con-
gressman’s defense of lynchings
and of a 15-year-old Negro girl’s
account of being forced back from
Little Rock’s Central High by the
curses of a seething mob and the
bayonets of hostile guards.

As a dramatic production, ‘‘In
White America’’ was a strange
combination of the elaborately ar-
tistic and the deliberately unartis-
tic, and these two elements ended
by coming into mutually weakening
conflict. The play attempted fo be
both a dazzling display of the con-
summate skill of individual per-
formers and a brutally factual and
unadorned exposé, but this dual
endeavor was bound to be self-
defeating.

One’s attention was commanded
by the real individuals who were
the actors and by thereal human
beings they representedand simul-
taneously rudely dragged from one
to the other. The observer was
finally exhausted and totally dis-
tracted from what . should have
been the show’s principal object
-- the drama as a whole, as a
product of artistic creation.



As a justification and defense
of -a militant policy for the Civil
Rights revolution, the play might
be said to have been guilty of
prostituting its art to its argu-
ment, its dramatic purpose to
its didactic one. For the produc-
tion was marred by some rather
too blatantly *‘significant’’ scenes
-- one of the most notable being
that where John Brown, lighted
profile shining in the center of
a darkened stage, pronounced the
inevitability. of bloodshed in the
Negro’s struggle for freedom.

That the work was so uneasy
an admixture of the artistic and
the’ -unartistic surely weighs
against it, but it also compels
us, in making our final evalua-
tions, to consider it in and as
itself. And so doing, we must
admit that it was, if. in a quite
complex and confused way, effec-
tive, even powerful ... Then too,
the message, regardless of the
vehicle through which it was trans-
mitted, challenges us to most ser-
ious reflection -- and perhaps to

action. E.V.A.

Koch Describes
VISTA Program

To 25 Mauwrters

by Susan Kemble, '67

On this past Monday afternoon,
December 6, Mr. George C, Koch
was in the Common Room to speak
to a group of twenty-five Bryn
Mawrters about VISTA, or Volun-
teers In Service to America. This
group is the so-called ‘*‘Domes-
tic Peace Corps’’ and has been
in official existence for less than
a year. However it already has
over 1700 enthusiastic volunteers
in four ‘‘tracts,’? or placement
areas, These are: rural, urban,
Indian, and migratory. The volun-
teers serve for a one-year period
and have all expenses for food,
clothing, shelter, transportation
and medical care provided for
during this time. At the end of
their service they are also given

a stipend of $50 for each month }

worked,

Mr. Koch explained that VISTA
was one of the most vital ingred-
ients of the War on Poverty, and
that volunteers work in each of
the latter’s individual projects
such as Headstart, Community Ac-
tion Program, the Job Corps, etc.
He defined VISTA’s goals as in-
volving the eventual eradication of
poverty through education, more
effective public welfare, and new
job training. In many cases the
function of a volunteer is to pro-
vide a link between the people

and the already existing agencies,

which is needed because the pop-
ulation of hard-core poverty areas
is often unable or unwilling to
seek ,the available public assis-
tance without help and guidance,

He also stressed, however, that
volunteers have a virtually un-
limited opportunity for exercising
individual initiative as there is no
red tape or hierarchal structure
within the organization itself.

For those who would be inter-
ested in obtaining literature on
VISTA, send a note to Sue Kem-
ble, Erdman, in campus mail or
drop by the Bureau of Recom-
mendations. -

Board to Consider Tuition Raise ~

Bryn Mawr College expects to
finish this academic year with a
budget deficit aster $200,000,
President Katharine McBride re-
vealed late Thursday to the Board.

The College’s serious financial
situation may necessitate a sub-
stantial raise in tuition over the
next two years. Under the plan
previously in effect, a tuition raise
was not anticipated until 1968-69.

Miss McBride asked the Finance
Committee and the Board to con-
sider whether it would be possible
to make an increase in tuition
over a two-year period, with per-
haps $150 set as the first in-
crease, for 1966-67.

After a reserve had been set
up to supplement scholarships and.
fellowships, this increase would
net about $100,000 and would re-
duce the probable deficit, but would
not eliminate it,

Undér this plan, the following
year tuition would have to be
raised an additional $100 or $150
to make up the difference.

In speaking about the proposed
tuition raise, Miss McBride noted
that most institutions of a type
and size comparable to Bryn Mawr
have in recent years been forced:
to increase fees. ‘‘From the

Board’s point of view,’’ she said,
‘twe have been too slow to act.
But this is one area in which we
always try to be too slow.’’

No change is being contemplated
in the residence charges, as the
*thotel aspects’’ of the College
are very nearly self-sufficient.

Up until the 1963-64 academic
year, the budget. balanced, or
nearly so. In that year there was
a deficit of $19,000 over a budget
of $4,071,000. The relatively small
amount of the deficit was not con-
sidered important in view of the
figures involved.

Last year, however, the deficit
jumped to$200,000 over a proposed
budget of $4,298,000. This deficit
resulted not so much from poor
budget planning as from the fact
that every department of the Col-
lege spent slightly more than it
had expected. Each over-expen-
diture was not large in itself, but
the total of these monies came
to $200,000.

The $200,000 deficit last July
was met by withdrawing unre-
stricted funds ‘‘functioning as en-
dowment’’ from the College’s port-
folio in the same manner that
previous, though smaller, deficits
were made up. According to Miss
McBride, these funds are not en-
dowment funds but unrestricted
funds which the College is free
to spend. Each amount withdrawn
from funds functioning as endow-
ment reduces the future income

' from the whole, and ‘‘to spend at

the rate of $200,000 a year would
quickly bring about a severe re-
duction in income.’’

The budget for the current
academic year, 1965-66, is $4,-
866,000. Miss McBride estimates
*toptimistically” that there willbe
be a deficit of $200,000 again this
year, or relatively the same
amount as last year’s deficit.

1’ Year’s First Issue

Of BMC ‘Review’
Is Out This Week

The BRYN MAWR REVIEW, pub-
lishing the year's first issue this
week, features some variations
from previous editions.

To gain one more page for the
printing of material submitted, the
table of contents has been omitted.
Art credits to Susan Capling, Joy
Allen, Lydia Reynolds, and Lynn
Schultz are also not listed.

The omissions resulted from
an effort to include as much
literary work as possible. Since
space is limited, not all material
submitted can be printed, This
year, even more so than in the
past, the anonymous judges were
faced with much more material
than space would allow.

Until the number of sub-
scriptions to the REVIEW
increases, this situation will per-

sist. With more funds available .

from a greater number of sub-
scriptions, three issues could be
published each year in place ofthe
present two.

A chapter from Professor Lat-
timore’s soon-to-be-published

&

translation. of the ODYSSEY-and a .

selection written by Professor
Peter Leach are two outstanding
works included in this issue.

te)

ege Budget Deficit

estimates that the deficit on July
30, the end of the academic fis-
cal year, will be closer to $250,-
000.

According to Miss McBride,
next year’s budget will probably’
be about $200,000 more than this
year’s actual costs. Approximately
65%-of each year’s budget is ear-
marked for salaries.

The steady increases in the pro-
posed budgets of the last few years
reflect several conditions. A main
factor is Bryn Mawr’s policy of
annual increases in faculty salar-
ies, the ultimate aim being. to
bring these salaries more in line
with those earned by the members
of other professions, particularly
medicine and law.

At the present time, the costs
of academic salaries are almost
exactly equal to the total revenue
obtained from student fees. In
actuality, the Bryn Mawr student
pays about half the cost of her
education, since salaries repre-
sent only one factor in the cost
of running the College.

Even if there were no further
salary increases for 1966-67,
there are still certain additional
costs the College must expect to
meeé next year. As one of these,
the percentage of the amount of
salaries paid by employers to
the Social Security program will
rise, increasing the College’s pay-
ments by $25,000. ;

Another important factor in the
budget increase for the current
year is the increase in the size
of the plant. Bryn Mawr now has
more students than ever before,
more buildings, and consequently,
more staff.

Funds for the budget come from
several sources, Nearly one-third
comes from student fees. Slightly
less than one-third comes from
income on endowment, and the
rest is made up from gifts and
grants,

The funds from the Ford Foun-
dation matching program cannot
solve Bryn Mawr’s budgeting prob-
lems. Most of the principal is
earmarked for specific projects
such as increases infaculty salar-
ies; and while the income from
these funds increased the endow-
ment, it did not represent enough
to meet the higher costs in effect
for 1965-66 and forecast for
1966-67,

Miss McBride has asked to meet
with students at an open meeting
in January to discuss the financial
situaton and to answer questions,

Facing Figures

Certainly Bryn Mawr is a non-profit institution, but this is ridicu-
lous. The College’s financial situation is obviously bad, and the pros-
pectus is that it will get worse long before it improves, if present

\trends are allowed to continue. A $200,000 deficit in the last fiscal
year cannot be ignored. Nor can the expectation that this year’s de-
ficit will equal if not top thatfigure be shrugged off, At this rate, in five
years the College will have dipped into its endowment for at least a
million dollars; the income lost in interest on that sum could send the

College, barreling down the road-to insolvency. Something must be dqne, ~

and it must be done before the next scheduled raise in tuition in 1968-
69. x.

Stringent economy measures would help, but the amount made up in
this way cous not hope to alleviate the problem to an appreciable
degree. A major factor in each year’s budget is faculty salaries, and
the annual increases in these salaries obviously affect the deficit. The
steady raising faculty salaries, however, is too important to
discontinue:. The avowed aim of the College in this area is gradually
salaries more in line with those of other pro-
fessions, and to insure that Bryn Mawr remains among those schools
offering top salaries to top scholars.

The necessity for the latter is apparent. Although monetary remunera-
tion may well be low on the list of factors by which a true scholar and
teacher chooses a position, itisa consideration, For a small school with
its consequently limited resources and facilities, it may be an important
way in which to attract andholdtop people. It is imperative that we con-
tinue to ificrement salaries if we are to maintain our standards of
quality.

From where else, then, could the extra funds come? The College
cannot anticipate radical increases in the amount given by friends and
alumnae of Bryn Mawr. The three years of the Ford program yielded
unprecedented sums, and it cannot be expected that either the percentage
of contributors or the size of individual gifts can be maintained at this
level,

There appears to be only one solution to the fiscal problem. It is as
unpleasant a task as it is to advocate -a raise in taxes, but it must
be admitted that the only answer at this time is an immediate, and fairly
substantial, raise in tuition, No one likes to propose such an action, but



“ gfter due consideration of the factors involved, we must agree with the

administration that there simply is no other way out.

The plan for a two-step increase, as proposed to the Board Thursday,
seems to us a fair and reasonable approach to ease the burden of
additional fees. We only hope the Board will not find it necessary to im-
plement too large an increase for next year, but will accept the two-
step plan as proposed.

, P ‘
Party Tricks

One of Bryn Mawr’s more questionable traditions is that of faculty
speeches at Christmas dinner, How long it’s been going on no one seems
to know, and the custom seems to vary in the halls from obsolete to
obligatory.

Points in favor of the tradition are the fact that the speeches are
nearly always amusing and that nearly all students look forward to
them. Which leaves only one crucial element to be consulted; the
faculty. As might be expected, not all faculty members -- who have just
as much work as the students that last frantic week before vacation --
consider it the greatest pleasure to have to spend valuable hours in
preparing a speech that they hope will be honestly amusing to their
hostesses and fellow guests, Also, some feel that it is hardly polite
to ask someone to dinner and then demand entertainment.

We couldn’t agree more, With all the Bryn Mawr student’s-fuss
about better faculty-student relations, to demand any ‘‘performance’’
from a faculty member other than that of being an enjoyable guest

seems self-defeating.

There is no need for the tradition of the faculty speech to be
abolished; it is certainly enjoyable for students and, one hopes,
for some professors, Nevertheless, it should be made clear by all
dorms which still maintain the custom that it is welcome, but purety
optional. No faculty member should have to play Tommy Tucker,

SNCC Leader Cleveland Sellers
Is Highlight of Lecture-Discussion

by Joan Cavallaro

The SNCC - sponsored lecture-
discussion last Thursday stands
forth as a refreshing break from
the plethora of re-hashed ideas
and re-played abstractions for
which hands have been clapped
all too many times.

It. presented a..direct working
description of SNCC’s approach
to the racial problem in the U.S.
with the how and why of its-par-
ticular projects in Southern states
and Northern cities, and its re-
lation to and attitude toward other
groups.

It was provoking, because in the
course of specific examples it
raised the latent questions of both
general and personal concern: the
emerging racial power structures
in the U.S., Africa, and Asia; the

Civil Rights movement on a local,

the individual’s rights versus in-

course, the concept of ‘‘freedom.’’

two.-of the speakers, Dorie Lad-
ner and Alberta Watkins, both
Field Secretaries for SNCC in
Mississippi. Then Micheal Sim-
mon, Field Secretary, and chief

My Cultural Heritage



‘Juju’ And Nigerian Medicine

(This is the last in a series
of articles by Dora Chizea, '69,
on her African homeland. - ede)

I hope you still remember I am
writing of my cultural “‘heritage.””
Please don’t forget. My articles
have been dealing with how things
are done ‘‘traditionally.”’ I repeat
**traditionally”? because some
girls who were scared by my
**marriage’”’ account cut off their
Nigerian boy friends. Please pick
up your boys and go the “un-
traditional’? way. Seriously, you
are safe, Ha! Ha! Hal.

In this last article, I wish to
deal with our ‘‘medicine?’ I don’t
by any means mean to scare or
excite anybody. I am aware that
many of my people do not like to
talk about our ‘‘traditional
medicine’’ because it appears tobe
incredible, In their opinion, our
“medicine”? is purely psycho-
logical effects of firm supersti-
tions, They think it must be unreal
since they do not seem to find a
scientific explanation for the
**tales’’ of our medicine.

Before I even make an attempt
to start the account, I make my
views clear that my proposal is
that our traditional medicine is
a distinct natural science! A sci-
ence in which Boyle’s, Avogadro’s,
Newton’s, Kepler’s, and other laws
of the present natural sciences may
not apply. It is a science that has
to be studied and investigated
separately.

I was just about to start the
account when I remembered some-
thing. Yes, let us compromise on
something. Yes, compromise, like
friends. You take, take, take ...
I am trying to think. Yes, you
take ech.... Look, I cannot think,
Well what shall I do? Did you
suggest that I go see a doctor? No,
T have the ‘solution, ‘¢1’ll gosee the
‘juju’ man.” Yes, that’s the word
**juju.”’ The word in Nigeria that

is undefineable, It is this one word
I call “four Medicine and our own
Science’? and I dare add Bryn
Mawr Colleges ‘Special Science
Course’? (How do you like that?)

When a woman keeps losing her
children seven days after birth,
we have an explanation for it. We
say, ‘‘juju’’ is at work. When a
person dies without any sickness,
we say, ‘‘juju’’ is at work, When
a progressive young mangoes mad
or becomes dumb or blind very
suddenly, we say ‘‘juju’’ has been
used on him. When two extended
families quarrel and one of the
families begins to have a series of
misfortunes, we say ‘‘juju’’ has
been used,

To-me ‘juju’? is not just 2
name for something that cannot
be explained, it is real. Now and
again the newspapers come out
with fantastic revelations of ‘‘juju’’
at work. The unfortunate. thing is
that ‘‘juju’? has never been iden-
tified with good things. “‘Juju’’ is
something. most people fear
whether or not they believe in its
existence.

Some religious groups claim to
have redeemed certain people from
the influence of ‘‘juju.” ‘Juju’’
is ‘supposed to be the way witches
and wizards fought their enemies
or people they hated. Tothe witches
and wizards, harming others is a
glory and they hand down their
powers to their most beloved chil-
dren. The irony is that, usually,
these children do not appreciate
these powers and they start
panicking and looking for priests to
save them.

It is not uncommon to hear that
a seventeen year old girl claims
that over three years she had killed
thirty people! Usually, she says
her grandmother prepared a
special dish for her and after

‘eating she discovered she had the ©

ability to fly like a bird. Usually,

civil rights. The ‘‘fight for power’’
program in Alabama, for instance,
centers around the courthouse,
which is ‘‘the most powerful ob-
ject in the eyes of the Southern
Negro”’ because it is the place

of voting, trials, and tax col-
lection,

+... §SNCC...attempts..to erganize.an

educated vote by discussing who
is the sheriff, how he got there,
how he can be replaced, etc. This
represents only part of the battle;
SNCC continues to try to get all of
the Negroes eligible to vote regis-
tered; then SNCC wants to see that
the votes COUNT -- that Negro
votes are properly tallied, ballot
boxes not-stolen, etc.

Another project centers on. the
ASCS (American Stabilization of
Cultivation Sociéty) which has con-
trol of rationing cotton allot-
ments. In order to be repre-
sented by vote one needs to own
land, be a share cropper, and
have a crop. Large plantations
‘steal’? small (Negro) farmer’s
votes and utilize them to their
own advantage. SNCC is attempt-
ing to organize the farmers into
self-interested voting blocks.

In response to student’s ques-
tions concerning the Bryn Mawr-
Haverford Fast for SNCC, Dorie
and Alberta, who are working in
Natchez, explained that the Civil
Rights Bill had been hardly en-
forced there; in the 1964 Sum-
mer Registration program Nat-
chez was considered an off limits
Klan-infested area,

This September a list of 12 de-
mands, including things already
guaranteed bythe Civil-Rights Act,
were presented to the Mayor and
refused, Negroes organized aboy-
cott of stores, and in response
many Negroes were fired. SNCC
asked funds to aid those out of
work.

The girls expressed their dif-
ferences of opinionwith the NAACP
in Mississippi, The latter. had
wanted to stopthe boycott recently,
for instance, and SNCC did not.

More important is the issue
of the Mississippi Freedom Dem-
gcratic Party, which was organized
by students two summers agowhen
Negroes were refused admittance
to precinct meetings.

President Johnson, according to
SNCC, wants Negroes at the next
convention, and SNCC is trying
to see that representatives from
the MFDP are included instead
of just those’ people arranged
through the NAACP (‘‘Uncle Tom’s

People’’). ‘*You can always hire’

a nigger for a couple of hours,’’
as SNCC put it.

‘“‘Bryn Mawr,” thought it was fas-
Cinating that a girls’ class would
come down on this particular day.

The session began with the nine
justices filing in to their indiv-
idually padded, rocking, swivel
chairs, which were pulled out by
several page boys, First on the
docket was the swearing in of
lawyers to the Bar of the Supreme
Court. Then two decisions were
handed down, which were rather
hard to understand, partly because
they involved the Maritime Com-
mission, reparations payments and
banana shipments, and partly be-
cause everyone was just realizing
that they had actually leaped out
of bed at 5:30 that morning.

Things picked up however, when
argument began for the Ginsberg
case. The three cases are being
dealt with together because there
are definite feelings in the legal
world that the Court’s ruling on
obscenity and free speech is due
for a change. Since 1957 it has
been held that material is obscene
and thus is not protected as free
speech by the First Amendment if
it appeals to prurient interest and
if it has no redeeming social value
according to contemporary com-
munity standards. Some of the
problems involved in these cases
are
as obscene? 2) Can EROS be ac-
ceptable enough to be sent through
the mails by including some good
material among the admittedly ob-
scene stuff? and 3) Does a state
actually have a right to refuse to
let a publisher distribute his books
within its boundaries?

The decision on these questions,
which possibly will in¢lude a
revision of the whole concept of
obscenity will probably come down
sometime in January. K.B.

1) Can sadism be classed —

Latest News From Faculty Row

The COLLEGE NEWS learned
this week of competition. on the
Faculty front, going by the name
of the ROBERTS ROAD RUNNER.

The RUNNER, a small;sporadic
weekly, is edited, published, and
everythinged-else by Rachel Ber-
thoff, the 13-year-old daughter of
Professor.Warner Berthoff of the
English Department.

The paper, which sells for 2¢
a copy (Miss Berthoff was apolo-
getic about the price, saying that
she really should lower it to 1¢)
was begun last February. After
being suspended over the summer,
the RUNNER was revitalized this
fall because of numerous requests
and the fact that the paper was
about 17¢ in debt to various sub-
scribers.

In spite of evidence of a slight
economic recession along Faculty
Row (the number of regular sub-
scribers has dropped from last-
year’s high of 23 to 18), Rachel
expressed cautious optimism about
the future of her paper. In her
own words, ‘I?ll just chug along
and see what happens.’’

Although modestly stating that
she ‘‘doesn’t care about money,’’
Miss Berthoff shows the financial
acumen of a born entrepreneur.
All potential subscribers received
complimentary first copies of the
RUNNER, After this irresistible
enticement, business was promptly
put on a ‘‘cash in advance’’ basis.
Advertisements will be accepted
at the rate of 1¢ per inch.

No matter what is going on
along Roberts Road, Rachel is
certain. to know about it, and,
what is more important, tell about
it. Take these interesting bits of
news for instance: (all quotations
from the ROBERTS ROAD RUN-
NER are by express permission

, Of the editor):








NITELY 9.11 FRI&SAT 8°30, 10,12

Tonight thru Monday
THE GREENBRIER BOYS

*"Nick Marshall’s schoolfriends
are circulating a petition to let
him keep his hair long. It is
headed “Save Our National For-
ests .””

If you are a bit confused by
the faculty game of musical houses,
Rachel can straighten you out:

“The Toscanis are living in the
Schneider’s house and the Gins-
bergs in the Schweitzers’. Mr,
Olsen, who teaches. physics here,
now occupies the Leaches’ old
apartment.’’

One also appreciates the social
perception in the RUNNER;
breathes there a Bryn Mavr girl
so dead who never to herself
has said, ‘‘No matter how many
new libraries, dorms, etc., are
built, it seems doubtful that the
face of Low Buildings will change
much???

And poor Mr. Schneider.
RUNNER brings us his disillu-

The :

sioned cry from across the sea,
*‘Whoever said that everyone in
Holland speaks English was
crazy.”

Lastly, there are those re-
ports which make the discreet
student rather wonder. Mr. Bloom
is lonesome and becoming more
*of-a~-prowler, Angelica~ Berthoff —
has been treated for worms and
hairballs. Alissa Maurin was
chased up a tree by two dogs.
Before you start giving the in-
structors connected to these in-
dividuals the hairy eyeball, I’d
better explain. These hot items
are from a feature section of the
RUNNER, “‘It’s raining cats and
dogs,’’ which gives the latest af-
fairs of the pet-set.

The next time you are baby-
sitting on Roberts Road, why
don’t you sneak a look at the
RUNNER? You'll love it. pp,

» Film of F loating. Hospital HOPE
In Indonesia Shown by League

by Paula Alexander, °66

Wednesday night League spon-
sored a film about the’ work of
the hospital ship HOPE in Indo-
nesia. The HOPE is a former navy
ship converted into a non-profit
floating medical center supported
by contributions from industry and
private citizens. Sailing primarily
to countries with large populations
and few doctors, the Hope’s maiden
voyagé in 1960 was to Indonesia,
which has approximately one medi-
cal man per 100,000 people and
the life expectancy is thirty-two
years. Staffed by volunteer doctors
and nurses and a rotating crew
of medical specialists, the ship
functions both as a hospital for
more serious cases and a base
for roving medical teams who
visit inland villages. Each mem-
ber of the staff has a native coun-
terpart.

The ship is a completely equip-

ped hospital and boasts an exten-
sive medical library as well as
an ‘‘iron cow’? which makes milk
from milk solids and processed
sea water. This milkis distributed
by the inland crews as they assist
in village clinics. Besides giving
medical assistance, these teams
also give instructions in sanitation
practices and midwifery.

Though treatment of the sick
is the immediate goal, the basic
purpose of the HOPE is the spread-
ing of medical knowledge.
American doctors learnof tropical
diseases from native physicians
while these in turn learn new skills
from the observation of modern
surgical practices. Founded by Dr.

William B, Walsh, the HOPE is,

indeed, ‘‘a gift from the~sea.’’

Susie Orbeton, ’67,; whose father
was a specialist on the ship in
New Guinea, talked briefly of his
experiences, mentioning that the
greatest cause of disease is the
lack.of sanitation. in procuring
drinking water, preparing food and

- delivering infants.

Since there was not agreat num-
ber at the film, League is consid-
ering showing a companion film
about the HOPE in Peru, during

exam week. We would appreciate
it if anyone interested in this
film would talk ‘with her hall rep.

Christmas Service

This Sunday Night

In Goodhart Hall

Bryn Mawr’s annual Christmas

service will be held this year on.

mulder, Minister of the Bryn Mawr
Presbyterian Church, will read the
Christmas story.

The combined choruses will sing

ert Goodale will sing the motet

bal de Morales.

Juju Enables People To Fly,
Gives Them Dangerous Power

(Continued from p1ge 2)

she says they gota meetings where
they drink the bl of their vic-
tims. In some cases\with *‘prayer
and supplications’’ @n the part of
the priests, the giyl or confessor
is made to vomit the ‘‘juju” inher.

People with ‘‘juju’? power can
attack... their enemies-and- make
them perpetually sick or abnormal.

My conviction is that ‘*juju’’ ex-
ists. It cannot be mere psycholog-
ical effects thatwhen a ‘‘juju’’ per-
son hates somebody (evenwhen the
victim of hate does not know it)
he can make the victim a cripple,
blind, or mad, It cannot just be
mere superstition that ‘‘pure’’
medicine men or some of. the
priests can fight ‘‘juju’’ and save
the victims in physical ways. Some
priests use the Bible and holy
waters in saving ‘‘juju’? victims.

The least I can say is that physi-
cal forces are inconflict when *‘ju-
ju’’ is at work, How can these ef-
fects be explained or interpreted?
Certainly not by applying our
present laws of science, What we
need is a science which can experi-
ment on how ‘thuman beings can
fly like birds.”’

When I was a little kid, we used
to say, ‘*Come and see American
Wonders’’ whenwe thought we were

being smart. I’m afraid I am going
to say, *‘Come and see African
Wonders” and I hope you will join
me in saying that now.

Seriously, friends, I am in no
mood for jokes, You owe me some-
thing. Yes, and you must pay me!
The cost? Well, simply an explana-
tion... for ..our..‘*juju’’_otherwise
called ‘‘Black Magic.’? Are you
prepared to pay? Good. Well, come
on friends, let’s form a group*to
‘*investigate.”” This is a purely
original ‘‘Bryn Mawr College Spe-
cial Science Course.’’ Qualifica-
tion is very simple: the first
girl to fly like a bird will be our
professor. Agreed? Well, girls,

experiments begin.
Thanks for reading.
