_ Unique Sophomore Weekend Sta

_ Replaces 1964 Tri-College

The sophomore class, ‘under

President Dabney Harfst, is plan-‘”

ning an expanded spring weekend,
May 1 to 3, to substitute for the
traditional Tri-College Weekend,

_ Since Swarthmore is celebrating

its centennial this year, it chose
not to participate. The school has
scheduled many independent : ac-
tivities. for its. anniversary—.com-.
memoration.

Instead of the triple collabora-
tion, Bryn Mawr. will contribute
$500 to the expenses of the week-
‘end, and Haverford will match
“the amount.

A committee headed by Caroline

Willis and Sam. Hopkins, newly-
elected social chairmen at’ Bryn

Mawr and Haverford, ‘has formu”

lated plans for the new Sophomore
Weekend.

Tentative suggestions call fora
visit from Apollo, the Yale Glee

Club, for a concert Friday.

Grace Hamilton and Nancy Kuhn
are working for a sophomore
Class-sponsored dance Saturday
night.

Saturday is Alumni Day at
Haverford, so instead of holding
the traditional Sophomore, Carni-
val, which would conflict, BMC
and. Haverford. will. cooperate.in
manning food booths on the Haver-
ford campus,

Last year’s annual salves fea-
tured an auction of items donated
by faculty members. Included were
genuine classic’ comics -- comic.
books in Latin and Greek.

A fire engine was on hand to
give rides to faculty children and
others unable to resist.Such games
as penny ‘pitching. and. fish. pool
entertained the children,

Another feature of the event was
an outdoor art show of student
contributions. te

‘Malcolm X Leaves Muslims
And Predicts Racial Violence

Malcolm X, who recently broke
away from the Black Muslims to
form his own militant. Negro or-
ganization, has been invited by Al-
liance to speak here this spring.

He has said that his new organi-
zation will be open to all Negroes,
riot just Muslims. Although he will
accept contributions from whites,

they. cannot join: because.his pur-~ ..

pose is to create Negro unity and
his. long term goal is black nation-

Support the present civil rights
movement -in an attack on all
social evils. Dissensions among
Negro leaders, he said, should be
resolved quietly. because the proo-
lems facing the American Negro
are. too -large to be dealt with
except on a united front.

“There will be more violence
than ever this year,’’ he said,
adding, ‘‘we should bé peaceful, °
law-abiding, but the time has come
for the American Negro to fight
back inf self defense whenever and
wherever he is being unjustly and
unlawfully attacked. If the govern-
ment thinks I am wrong for saying
this, then let the government start

—doing its job,’ °.

He believes that Negroes must
learn not to identify with the Demo-
cratie or Republican parties, which
are full of ‘‘corrupt politicians.’’

Instead, Negroes ‘should exert an .

independent political force..Mal-
colm said that his organization’s
plan for the 1964 elections is still
a secret, )

.As it is now understood, he said,
‘‘civil rights”? is a domestic prob-
lem, but the real issue is human
rights. Accordingly,

“New C ompletion | Date For Erdman

ging Uses Greek Tragic Technique

To Stress Universality i in ‘The Father’

By Jane Robbins, ‘65

This weekend the Bryn Mawr
and Haverford Drama Clubs pre-
sent their production of August
Strindberg’s THE FATHER: aplay
which at first glance is apt to
strike one as the depressing. and
perverted tale of a superharpy
who-drives her husband insane in:
order ‘to control the future of their


cessful marriages may be reflect-

ed here, his own bitter view of

them, even his persecution mania,
propensity tomadnessandextreme
pessimism.

But THE FATHER is, at the
same time, a. complete and care-
fully constructed tragedy, eyen
as the Greeks-understood the word,
theatre from which one may gain
not only a catharsis, but also count-
less insights into the precarious
frailties: of man. In many ways,
Robert Butman’s production aims
to present THE FATHER at this
Greek level of objective truth,
bringing out the universality rather
than the petty immediacy of the
problems. it reveals. It hopes,
that the audience will indeed learn
from the play, Mr. Butman’s aims,
happily coinsiding \with Strind-
berg’s own feelings: *‘*My enjoy-
ment lies in getting to know some-
thing in getting to learn .some-
thing’’ (from the Preface to MISS
JULIE). Mr. ‘Butman considers
the play capable of ‘‘saving any-

“where from five to fifty marriages

if it is done well,”

How, then, is this-Greek uni-
versality to be suggested, The
mise -en-scene of this-weekend’s
production includes an upper level
on which the actors sit when they
are not ‘‘in character’’ in the set
below. On this second stage they
assume the role of the Greek
chorus; linking actors with audi- .

ence,” representing the complete,
ultimate,
rather than the specific deeds or
isolated feelings of the lower stage.
Though silent, this upper (and
‘‘reacting’’) chorus should serve
to suggest a perspective greater
than that of the small world of
the Captain’s house, It should sug-
gest a vision of greater knowledge:
that both husband AND wife have
failed to treat each other tairly;
‘that when. men give in to tragic
flaws (thinking one man, one’s self,
to be greater than humanity), the
result is tragedy.

This upper chorus level is di-
vided into’ two sides;
female;.for those are the colors

space between two upper levels,

“Inconsistancies” of Attorney Mark Lane_

This article was written by a.
University of Pennsylvania law
student who heard attorney
Mark Lane speak at Haverford
and questions some of his ar-
guments. Mr. Lane spoke on
March 11 on whether or not ac-
‘cused presidential assasin Os- .

—-wald was actually guilty of the
crime. Ed.

Men withthe “best of-intentions -

‘may be blinded by their own preju-

dices; they become distasteful
when they blind others in the same
way. Truth may often be realized
by the vehicle of controversy when
an otherwise assumed set of facts
is attacked. This is one of the
purposes of the law which accom-
panied with our adversary sys-
tem of meting out justice resolves
doubtful issues to legal finality.

This isa. system which Mark
‘Lane as an attorney. is of course
well aware. He also knows that



What Is An Abstention?

For -an_individualtto- ‘siies-tandittgnatiery Ce -her- both.

to know what the issue’ ‘s for which she is voting and precisely what «

her vote means. Those administrating the campus-wide vote on the
two referenda presented to the campus last week certainly made the
issue in questios undisputably clear. They did, in one respect,however,
fail to enlighter. the voters on the exact meaning of the vote.

Three choices were presented to the voters: a positive vote,.a
negative’ vote and an abstention. The meaning of either the positive or
negative vote seems clear without any further explanation. The meaning
of. the abstention, however, was never announced to the campus. The
interpretation of the abstention which was finally accepted, after most
of the votes had been cast, was that of Roberts’ Rules; i.e. abstentions
are added to the plurality vote.

This is, of course, a perfectly acceptable way to treat abstentions --
theoretically, under this interpretation a student abstains only if she
does not care about the outcome of the vote, We object, that the voters
were not told about this interpretation of the abstentions before the
vote was taken. One simply cannot vote intelligently if she does not
know how her vote will be counted, Students abstain for many reasons;
if this interpretation of ‘the abstention had been made known, it is
possible that many .of those who abstained would have voted negatively
or . positively. It is also possible that others who voted otherwise
might have chosen the abstention as it was interpreted because it
best expressed their sentiment-on the issue. . °

“Jt is fortunate: indeed that in this case the vote was not so close that

. the abstentions were the deciding factor. We suggest, however, that in

future elections the fate of the abstaining vote be made quite clear to-

the campus. It would be unfortunate if, in the event of a close vote on |

an issue, the deciding ballots were cast by students completely ignorant
of their meaning. -

Ts Cut, Or Not To Ci...

we fully appreciate the fact that the Administration scheduled our

.

spring vacation: to coincide: with Haverford’s. However’ there are”

a few points that should still be considered. Why are we.required to go
to our last class befgre vacation and the first class after vacation
when We are at libert}to cut every class from the beginning of second
semester to final exams? In fact it is at. vacation time that we would
have a logical reason to cut classes!

What about the girl who has been offered a ride to Mental Blank,
Nebraska at ten o’clock Friday morning and isunable to go because she
has a three o’clock class that she must attend? What about the girl
whose parents wamt to leave for the Bahamas early Friday morning,
regardless of her twelve o’clock class? Must these girls change all
their plans because they were unable to schedule their classes on a
Monday through Thursday basis? We presume that the wsaptenbt also
encounters similar, problems,

Why then does this ruling exist? If the Administration is afraid
that the whole college would take off a week early for points unknown,
we respectfully suggest that such an outcome is unlikely, since it is to
our disadvantage to cut a week of classes. Besides, the responsibility
we would shoulder without this restriction would indeed prepare us
for the big out side world.

Too Much Money 2

Sapbomoré Weekend, which replaces Tri-College Weekend this year
should prove “one of the year’s most festive occasions. Plans become
more and more gala with each unconfirmed rumor. -

A most helpful factor in forming these plans*is-an siacet unprece-

are not hampered by lack of funds, The sophomores have at their dis-
posal the money that would usually be paid to an Undergrad apeeker
as well as the Tri- College budget. -

facts in her letter of-6 March 1964

‘ about the few students of the Class

of 1967 who were not given letters

are: that the students had not suf-

books were ‘out’; that no mention
was made that any of the students
were taking advanced courses.
There is also some doubt that

_ Fer-Performance In ‘St. lokn Passion.

If anyone has ever doubted that
a large chorus could sing’Bach’s
St. John Passion, Saturday night’s
performance proved them wrong.

Perhaps the most brilliant as-
pect of the concert was the quick
__ Tesponse ofthe Bryn Mawr-Haver-
ford Chorus to Mr. William
ReeSe’s ‘ condicting.. Moreover,
Mr. Goodale deserves great praise
for his excellent p ration of the
. Bryn Mawr Chorus. . ,

In the final chorale in Part I,
it was truly amazing to see Mr.
Reese ask for more power in the
words .‘*Peter while his conscience

‘William Reese conducts the Schutz

syept, /Thrice denied his -Savior’’
and \to hear the immediate up-
surge of voices, which softened
to “piano” on the words ‘When
qj evil I am _ set,/Through my
conscience reach me,”

This peak of excellence. was:
immediately surpassed in the
opening Chorale of part I, The
full chorus entered as a single
voice on the words ‘Christ who
knew. no. sin of wrong’’ with such
accuracy of diction, phrasing and
sheer power that no one could
have missed the’ import of the
words, '

How Mr. Reese trained so many
voices to sing the words ‘‘Scoffed
at, scorned and spat upon’’ in a
vibrant staccato leaves one truly
baffled!

The clear fugal entrances of
the Schiitz Group (on stage) were

‘equally as brilliant in execution,

This. Group was: by no means
small, as it was often joined by
the New Choral Society, Yet one

could hear each part pick: up the —

phrase “Do not rend it or divide
it’? and carry it through smooth-
ly. and accurately,

To me the section | will long
remember was ‘‘Not this Man,
No not Him, -Give us Barabus.’’
In rehearsals, I had seen Mr.
Reese working to bring this sec-

tion to perfection. The syncopation:

of this musical phrase itself was

_intricate, yet when the performance

came, not one voice faltered!
Robert White, the Evangelist,

his. masterful singing and acting

Dinner Plan to Raise Funds
For Voter Registration Drives’

By Mary Thom,,. ‘66
and Ginny Kerr ’66

Vital to the attainment of social
justice inthe South is the exercising
the right to vote, The- current
drive on the Bryn Mawr and Haver-
ford campuses is to raise funds in
support of SNCC’s voter registra-
tion activities.

Many southern’ states require
that citizens pass stringent literacy
tests before they are accorded the

~privilege “of. registering. to vote.

In Mississippi applications filled
out by Negroes that are otherwise
correct are often disqualified for

.» minor errors such as improper
capitalization, ues

Many Negroes are discouraged
from even attempting to register
by organizations such as the White
Citizens’ Council, which describes
the Supreme Court’s school in-
tegration decision of May 17, 1954,
‘ta patent perversion of \the Con-
stitution, based on false ‘science’.”’

‘Workers for various organiza-
tions, particularly SNCC, are hold-
ing registration classes to instruct
Negroes in writing, grammar, and
interpreting federal and state con-
stitutions, and to encourage Negro
registration in the South by making
them aware of their constitutional
rights and the Federal protection
due them.. Many of the workers
are southern Negroes who have in-
terrupted their college education to

participate in the struggle for civil
rights.

If the plan for giving up one din-
ner this semester at Bryn Mawr
and Haverford is a success, the
money saved ‘will be given to the
SNCC council to supplement the
dwindling fund for paying workers.

Promoting this project necessi-
tates signing one of the state-
ments of support being circulated.
Signing these petitions indicates
the signer’s willingness to give up
one dinner this semester to raise
funds for supporting the registra-
tion workers whose activities have
been described above, They are not
membership lists for SNCC, which
is not a membership organization.

The Bryn Mawr administration
is willing to co-operate with this
project, if sufficient student sup-
port is shown,





well suited to the part of Christ.
Praise should go to. all the solo-
ists..and---especially to Richard
Morris for his excellent interpre-
tation of Pilate,

During the rehearsals I also
heard Mr. Reese. working to
achieve a solid and expressive
string accompaniment, Saturday
night, Orlando Cole, the cellist
of the Curtis String Quartet, gave
the Passion a:vibrancy one seldom
hears with his masterful interpre-
tation of the music and his evident
communication with Mr. Reese.
As one member of the orchestra
mentioned to me at intermission,
Mr. Cole inspired and drew to-
gether the whole orchestra with
his brilliant playing.

My praise is both incomplete
and inadequate for such an ex-

“citing performance. I “doubt that”

: year,

Mr. Thurman began his study’ or =
mysticism as a special student at
Haverford College’ in. 1929 where
he was a friend of Rufus Jones,
In a pamphlet entitled, ‘Mysticism
and the Experience of Love,’’ he
describes mysticism as ‘‘the re--
sponse. of the individual to a per-

“sonal ‘encounter with God within”

his own spirit,’’ As An American’
Negro, he feéls that mysticism is
important to himself as a force
to steady his equilibrium and ‘‘pre-
vent the springs of my being from
being polluted by the bitter fruit of
the climate of violence,’?

For those who would like to be-
come better acquainted with Mr.
Thurman’s ideas before the lec-
ture, his books include ‘‘The In- ©
ward Journey,” Deep” is “the ~
Hunger,’? and ‘‘Meditations for
Apostles of Sensitiveness,”’

_ Excellence of Solo Work Highlights
m, Beauty of Intuition’

“Superb ‘piano .whayir- H- Mike performance _by Darnell @mgu{fl-

Jazz Pro

Michels and dynamic drumming by
Eric Henderson highlighted ‘*The
Beauty of Intuition,” a thoroughly
enjoyable evening of jazz in the
Goodhart Common Room on Fri-
day the thirteenth. The program,
sponsored by the Bryn Mawr Arts
‘was not without flaws,
but. there. were. indeed“ many
moments of beautiful intuition and.
solid jazz.

The first set consisted of a
WEST SIDE STORY medley per-
formed b _pianist Michels, bass-
ist Walt obinson, and drummer
Tony DiPasquale. Michels played
beautifully, with good support from
Robinson and from DiPasquale,
who turned in a fine solo in 5/4
time.

Tom Darnell, a tenor saxophon-
ist with a decided Getzian influ-
ence, joined the group in the second

set. The first two tunes, ‘What ~ 8 RESTA URANT | . i Ramm

Is This Thing Called Love’’ and a
medium-up blues, were distin-
guished only. by the fine solos and

sensitive comping of Michels, but—
on ‘*Pennies From Heaven’ the
whole group warmed up to the’

business at hand. DiPasquale be-
came less mechanical, Robinson
became steadier, and Darnell did
some of his finest solo work of

- the evening, After a moving batlad

Can’t Get Started,’’ the group fin-.
ished out the set with ‘‘How Deep
is the Ocean” and ‘‘Green Dolphin
Street,’ with Michels contributing

some remarkable Bill Evans-like —

lines.
‘Drummer Eric Henderson re-

placed DiPasquale for the third.

and final set and proceeded to.
dominate. the activities from then
on. At 18 years of age he is al-
ready a drummer of tremendous
technique, power, and drive, In-
deed, he was often too powerful,
with a tendency to jump in on
Michels’ ideas and obliterate them,
but he did provide a definite lift
tothe group. His ‘‘fours’’ in
