~ With Decorations ForFalloutShelters In Both Hall Smoking Rule and Library Hours
5 Smokers Want Right To Smoke In F ireproof Halls
“by Connie Rosenblum
As Mr. Loerke recklessly splashed
royal blue paint-over a broad sketch-
. «pad,..and.a+ Haverford. student dar-—-
ingly splintered a window in the
Roost into smithereens, the exhibi-
tion of the artwork of Fritz Jans-
chka,
ing was Sunday, January: 6:
Mr. Chartes Mitchell, Chairman
of the Art History Department,
pointed out at the opening that this
is the first. time-in..the history .of
art that an audience has been able
to participate in an exhibit. Pre-
~ viously, one “merely attended an ex- _
* hibit, ,
works,-and left~silently. Here, how-~
gazed respectfully at the
ever, exactly the reverse was true.
.Maintain Sanity
One of the many ways you will
be able to maintain your’ sanity
with this ingenious little ‘device is
by attempting to ‘count the little
squares. Or, if you are more am-
bitious, you might | ‘care to equate
certain colors with letters of the
alphabet..and thereby evolve an en-
tirely’ original ‘language, on the: ba-
sis or the varigated arrangement of
the squares. And what an opportu-
- nity this will be “for crossword puz-
zle fiends, who, bereft of their Sun-
day Times, will have innumerable
squares with which to create santa
crostics! 6
To add a decorative note to your
shelter, you will want-to-own Space
~ Race, Mr. : Janschka’s reminder of _
the missile contest. An antique gold
. metallic fabric with am ornate floral
design provides the background, upon -
which are drawn tiny laders of va-
rying heights. On top of each lad-
der is a small gold key. A tear in
the brocade is latched together. by
a padlock—“however, the careful: ob-
server will notice that none of the
keys fit the lock. The holder of the.
correct key is, of couse, the creator
seein: this case, the artist.
" Sculptures
A number of thought-provoking
sculptures which will be standard
equipmentfor--the modern shelter--
were also on exhibition. For ex-
ample, when guests suddenly come,
you won’t want ‘to be caught short

an efficient little ‘machine that ‘is
capable of coring and peeling an
apple in a mere three seconds, A
tag on the machine reminds us_that
it sells for an economical $299.98,
without apple. ‘
In addition,. there is a Hoiinads
Missile Launcher, a_ necessity’ for

borately camouflaged into a grand-
father clock.“It is camouflaged, be-
‘cause it would be extremely unwise _
to have an exposed missile launcher
in your home.
conceal such a bulky apparatus in
a grandfather clock, but the ticking
of. the ‘clock. detracts, “ae ‘great deal.
of attention from “the primary pur--
pose of the device...
The focal point of the opening of
, the exhibition’ was the unveiling of -
~the Gospel”’Warhead, which’ will be,
the artist reminds us, the first mis-
-rsile~ in the world with not-only a
military and a ‘civic duty, but. alao_a-
religious one.

ant, and far from. silent, and do
not hold all the students who might
want to.use them. .«™
Objections have been raised. that’
allowing smoking in rooms would
be dangerous and in addition make
the halls smelly and dirty. As for
the danger, the committee feels
that. smokers would be conscien-
tious enough not to smoke in bed
or,at any time when they feel they
might fall asleep with a cigarette
in hand.
Basic Right |
As for making the-rooms-smelly-
or unpleasant; the committee con-
-siders -that—smoking—in-rooms- isa
basic right in fireproof halls and
should be considered. despite per-
sonal objections.
One more objection bas been -
raised: that all smokers would
want to live in Rhoads and any.
other “smoking” halls. Members. of
‘the’ committee feel certain . that
this would not happen. After all,
all swimmers. do not live in Bat-
ten House. And if Rhoads did even-
tually become a hall composed en-
_tirely of smokers. (which*is—un- -
- likely) ‘“‘we cannot see the harm in:

Bryn Mawr Calobeates Playwright’s 400th Birthday;
Lectures Stress Lope de Vega’s Brilliance, Stability
— Amy King: 64
Last Thursday, January 10, Bryn

party. The Spanish department
sponsored two lectures and -a,read-
ing of “excerpts from one of the
plays: of Lope de Vega, in--whose
honor the celebration was .organ-
ized.

ate the man from ‘the work, so ac-
tive and. complex was the author’s
life, Mr. Duran said. As a man of
that turbulent period, Lope re-
flected the energy and wholeheart-
ed enjoyment .of what was in-the
Middle Ages merely a preparation
for the eternal life to come.
But Lope wanted Spain to re-
member its past, its traditions, afd
_he frequently used old tales-and-songs
as the basis for plays. Lope’s desire

past to the lives of his audience

Chooses America
Despite Cold War
Last winter William C. Davidon,
Associate Professor of Physics at
‘Haverford, decided to emigrate to
New Zealand because’of this coun-
try’s nuclear policy. Now he has
withdrawn his “resignation , from
_Haverford= and decided to remain .
-in, the’ United States.
An outspoken member ee the
“peace and! socialist movements, Mr.
Davidon denies that the conditiéns
precipitating ‘ his original plans
have changed: in-any way, but ra-
‘ther that he has only reconsidered
the factors involved.
Admitting that he~ cannot: effee-
tively influence national policy, he |
is’ still seriously concerned both
with the threat of nuclear war and
the Possible immorality of support-
“termination as a national policy.
- More important to him_person-
ally is the responsibility hé takes
in teaching physics; he fears that
some of his students will use the
_knowledge he gave them to.improve |
and construct nuclear weapons.
These objections continue to be
~ Important to him, Mr. Davidon in- .—
sists. He: has, however, discovered
that he does retain strong ties to
American ‘society and cannot di-
vorce himself from it as easily as_
he expected.
“I and. U.S. society are not dis-
tinct. entities. Some of. the-good
and rotten parts of U.S. society
“are parts of me,” he said in a
recent Haverford News article.
Personal ties ‘also “intervened:
“Mr. Davidon has‘a son enrolled in
a military: school, who would not
be able to visit him if he were to
leave the country. |
Aside from his relations in and
with the U.S., he found reasons to
reconsider his decision ,in the
-policies..of the New Zealand gov-
ernment and the climate of thought
on the island. Politically, he feels
New. Zealand _is fawning upon the
in. view of its approval of
-the,Cuban blockade and its colo-
nial policy. Among the people,
‘moreover, he finds a “lack of con-
cern about world affairs,” an in-
difference. to the overall problems.
of mankind. )
By deciding to remain here, Mr.
Davidon does not*imply that his
own firm stand on certain issues
is lessening.- In fact, he asserts
that a final reason for his remain-
ing is that meaningful political and
social action is possible on an in-
‘dividual leyel in this country. Al-
théugh. he has no detailed idea of
his goals, he does intend ‘to sug-
« gest “reforms” and watch for pos-.
sibilities of implementing them.

by Vicky Grafstrom
For twelve days, Mr. Dudden,
Professor of History at Bryn Mawr,
visited. the tropical paradise of Cey-
lon. He was sent there by the
Peace Corps to determine’ the effec-
tiveness and appropriateness of the
training of the 38 icerasrernte sta-
tioned. there. :
Mr. Dudden Sette an 1 advisory:
capacity in the field of American
Studies during the instruction per-
iod for the Ceylon Peace Corps
trainees at the University of Penn-_

The Ceylonese group was engag-
Its
members were assigned to*teach: in
central high schools and Teachers’
.-Training--colleges--outside- -Celombo;
the capital of Ceylon, as well as ru-
ral and village schools.
No-Easy Task
“It is no easy task,” Mr. Dudden —
“for these, yolunteers
is nécessary for a:Peace Corps vol-
unteer to have a strong sense of .
_*. gelf-reliance, enabling him to adjust .
-to the demands made by solitude and
isolation from: a. familiar way of.
. life; to rely on their own resources
for diversion.”
Though the volunteers are trained
in the language of the country they
visit (in the case of Ceylon, Sing-
halese and Tamil), their Knowledge
inevitably comprises only the basic
words needed for simple communica-
tion.
The members of the Peace Corps —
group to Ceylon shared the diet of |
-the native students and teachers,
food which often “falls short of ap-
petizing by U. S. standards,” Mr.
Dudden says.
The group has to be prepared for
any kind of activity, often very dif-
ferent Yrom their specified work’ of
teaching..-The-Peace Corpssmembers. =
cooperated with the Ceylonese-gov-
ernment in a project to: reclaim land
from the jungle for cultivation to
combat the food shortage resulting
from overpopulation, (8% increase
of population per year). Shovelling
earth is a far .cry from teaching.
Mr. Dudden said he realized
from his visit the great difficulty
‘involved in becoming a Peace Corps
member, and has a great admiration

he was “much better able to under
stand the position of the waceid
countries of South Asia. _The Cey-
lonese deplore the border. between
India and. China and are afraid of
being subjected to the pressures of
the cold war. Thos¢ Ceylonese who
are drawn toward the East, are dis-
tressed to find that the nations they
feel are the. great Socialist -hope
of the world and .whom they most °
admire are fighting.
~ Crocodiles
Mr. Dudden. found his-short--visit
to .Ceylon..a .rewarding experience.
The people, he said, are charming,
endowed with a gentle sense of. hu-
‘mor and possess a habit at first dis-
concerting, of shaking their heads

The beauty~ of the. country is en-
hanced by the extreme variation of
scenery ‘and animals; crocodiles,
monkeys, cobras, and cockroaches.
Mr. Dudden even found fish with
~ small limbs, swimming in the India
‘ocean, flopping over the rocks, still
in the process of. evolution.
Mr. ‘Dudden “also affirms ‘that: he
can’t go anywhere without running
into someone connected with Bryn .
‘Mawr College. In Colombo he met
Charles David, former Professor of
History at: Bryn Mawr and his wife,
Margaret, who was responsible: for
the publication of the college cata-
logue until 1950. “You just can’t
get away from Bryn Mawr,” Mr.
Dudden--says:~ Bryn Mawrters are
ubiquitous.

The Bryn Mawr College Dance

uary 5 was a heterogeneous af-
tair:
saw high artistic sincerity com-
bined .with a not-quite-sq-highly-
developed. technique; Jook.. again,
and there was rather: sloppy chor-
eography danced rather sloppily;
and once again, pieces of superb
intensity superbly executed. For’
all three kinds of work the concert
‘was interesting; for the latter, it
was highly successful.
Eleanor Schick, a young New
York dancer who shared the pro-
gram with the Bryn Mawr com-
“pany, opened the concert and per-
formed three other numbers. Her
movement was simple, sometimes
close’ to- mime’ as~ she _ danced - to~
“Maybe .

She Go,” “Midnight Special” and
»Take This Hammer.” Her remark-
able eyes blazed with anger; her
face contorting, she filled the stage
and beyond with the un-showy but
unforgettable’ movements ‘of ~ her
tightly-controlled body. The inten-
sity and ‘anger evident in all her
outwardly uncomplicated pieces
could hardly help but hold’ _ the
audience spellbound.
First Dance —
The Bryn Mawr company’s first
work, “Artists of Destruction,”
choreographed by Senta Driver and
taken from. “The House of Bernar-
da Alba” by Garcia Lorca, con-
tinued i in large part the atmosphere
of intensity.
Senta Driver ‘as
Bernarda danced with technical
_ accomplishment and coldly sustain-
=formed-well-enough:-te-keep-the-re=*5
ed characterization.
Barbara Hurwitz as Adela, in a
looser, more ‘subservient part, sev-
eral times noticably dropped her
tension and her projection but per-
lationship of the two from becom:
ing static.. The piece, working with
an essentially dramatic situation,
‘always looked like what. it should,
at dance, and not a drama shoved
silidenty into an abstract medium.
Senta _Driver’s: face and hands
were particularly compelling.
On the other hand I found “Three
To Get Ready,” choreographed by
Pamela; Mulac and performed by
Pam, Teresa Santini, Elena Mestra,
Minna Nkoum, Gretchen Field, and
Barbara Hurwitz, showy and false.
The movement was not intrinsical-

a Brubeck number, I expect them |
to have sométhing — anything —
to say. I do not think this dance
did have anything to say.
Too Cute‘*
The movements were sae with
enough “precision to keep the piece
from becoming ludicrous, but I
simply got bored with all that
cuteness. To-be fair, some of the
dancers, notably Teresa - Santini,
made the: best of a bad thing and
performed with a good —_ of
style.
“Dance Figure +- for the Mar-

~ Demand Supremacy « or Separate Nation for Negroes
by Rachel Brown, 63
“Mere crumbs from the ‘ohlen: of

lions of black men ‘angry. That’s
_ why there was a riot at the U.N.
- and why the black” nationalist: move-
ment. is growing and: becoming more:

Such is the analysis of the in-~
creasingly prominent, profoundly ra-
cist movement which is most power-"—
fully embodied’ in the Black Muslim :
organization. By the end of 1960
there were 69 temples in 27 states, .

Modern America
Modern America provides boun-
teous. food for this. movement..which
first developed from the discontent
of rural Negroes who had migrated
to Detroit during the Depression
seeking a new and better life.
The Muslims have adopted the ex-_
“ternal features of islam—the die-
tary laws, the prayers to Mecca,
certain Arabic_-phrases,—and allegi-
ance to Allah, the God of the Black
Man.
,. The théology of Islam is under-
‘stood by few, and is not central to
the Movement. Their ‘school sys-°
tem, called the University of. Islam,
has. been recognized as a legitimate
parochial. system. Although cértain
essentials are taught, the aim is to
instill bitter, uncompromising ‘ideals -
in young Negroes.

In ‘addition tothe universities,
«there are training classes in home

for their economic problems, as’ they
attribute much. of the white man’s
power to his economic domination.
Much of their suspicion results from
the ‘scurrilous activities. of: ~white

exploit the Negro’s posttion.
- Politically, their aim is to strength-
en the Negro’s immediate power po-
tential. by encouraging him ‘to vote, |
and a strong urban block. is ‘develop-
ing, willing to vote as Muhammad
directs, if he feels a need to do so.
_(Muhammad is one _Elijah Poole, _
leader and “prophet of the move-
ment.)
But the avowed end of-the move-
ment is to-securé a-free nation for
the Black Men in the: U. S. on the
territory now comprising five or six
states -to- he ceded -to- the, Muslims
by Congress. Their, petition has
"~been’ rejected by. the legislature.
Alternatively, they plan to organ-
ize Pp return to Africa, and settle .
there» with their historical and. spi--
ritual brothers.
Self Respect
This political isolation carries to
the extreme the theory that the
Negro will never “achieve equality
without a fundamental self respect
and confidence in himself, which he
can never attain in a society of white
men.
To complete the divorce from
American white society, the Mus-
lims replace their surnames with
the letter X, as the former name
had only been imposed by the .white
slavemaster, Preferring the term
“Afro-Americans” or “Black Men,”
the Muslims refer’to the “so-called”
‘Negro because the word Negro is
the white man’s, and implies inferi-
ority in its connotations.
~~ Elijah“ Muhammad’s following “has
attained the—proportions~ ofa mass
movement, and: as such it provides.
‘a structure and outlet for repressed
_ hostilities and frustrations.
designed to give the Negro pride in
himself, and has had remarkable o
fects.
Strict Morals
Members Tiust refrain from smok-
‘ing, drinking, overeating, gambling ”
They are subject to a strict code of
sexual morality, and are instructed
never to be the aggressor ina dis-
_ pute. The rates of juvenile delin-
quency in Muslim homes are strik-
ingly lower than the norm. The
- young Muslims are neatly dressed,
courtedus, but with hard eyes—one
young leader told me that since he
had joined the movement he- was
neither scared or ashamed, he~- was -
a new person, no longer a “so-call-:
ed” Negro, but a Black Muslim
with a totally new attitude toward
his life.
United in ritual-observances ‘and
in a vitriolic hatred of the white
man, those who find themselves at
the bottom of: society..can find an
identity, a purpose, ‘and security
“as part. of the. super..organization. _
The movement gains most converts
from the lowest class of urban Ne-
groes, but its leaders are intelligent,
shrewd, articulate, and motivated by
an uncompromising race hatred in,
their search for power.
\aThere ure ‘many aspects of the,
movement, however, which appeals «to
the sense of “Negritude” “which ° is
awakening in Negroes everwhere.
The effect that the Muslims have
in-
and in making the Negro conscious
that. he has a role to play_in. improy-
ing his. lot has. not been’ unnoticed.

The primary purpose of the ex-
