Next Year’s Freshman Week

Cile Yow, Kitty Taylor and Terry
Newirth were elected heads of
Freshman Week Committee at the
Undergrad meeting Monday, March
8.

In the discussion prior to the

* election several pros and cons

of this year’s Freshman Week
were brought up. It was agreed
that the library tours ought to be
more emphasized and ought not be
just another thing to sign up for.
Also it was felt that there should
be more communication during the
summer between the committee
and the new freshmen.

The usual disparaging comments
were made about Haverford and
mixers in.general, with some girls
wanting more emphasis placed on
‘learning to knowfellow classmates
first. A suggestion was made ad-
vocating some .kind of co-
ordination with the Curriculum
Committee to provide the new
freshmen with more detailed infor-
mation on the academic side of
Bryn Mawr.

Betsey Pinckney also introduced
Popie Johns, next year’s Under-
grad president, and thanked the
student body for ‘‘carrying on the
magnolia era’? in electing her.

The committee discussing the
representational set-up of the Cur-
riculum Committee voted un-

-animously to keep it the way it

presently is, with one represen-
tative from each department and
two from each class, It added the
recommendation that if any dorm
or language house is not rep-
resented, that it elect one girl to
serve on the committee, regard-
less of class.

Undergrad voted to give $50 to

Sours in Custody
In Moss Pt. Jail,
Bail Set at $750

Former Bryn. Mawr. student
Nancy Sours. was arrested again
Tuesday in Moss Point, Missis-
sippi. Nancy spent five days in the
Moss Point jail two weeks ago
for her part in civil rights demon-
strations there..

Nancy was” one of 25 people
arrested Tuesday during ademon-
stration before a Moss Point high
school that has been boycotted by
local Negroes since February 24.
She was charged with failure to
obey an officer and trespassing.

Bail for those arrested was set
at $750 each: $250 for failing to
obey the officer, and $500 on the
trespassing charge.

Arrested with Nancy were two
other white out-of-state students
and two Negro SNCC project direc-
tors, Georgia Martin of Moss Point
and Dickie Flowers of Greenwood,
Mississippi. :

Nancy was amember of the Class

of °65 but decided to spend this

year working for SNCC in Missis-
sippi. She plans to return to Bryn
Mawr next year.

Her last arrest resulted from
an attempt to eat with a biracial
group at Moss Point drugstore
lunchcounter. She was charged with
‘étrefusing to obey a police com-
mand,” and was bailed out by her
family only after the court refused
to accept a bond offered, by local
Negroes.

While in jail on that charge the
prisoners engaged in a hunger

Further discussion on Hell

Week, amounting to a reiteration:

of the basic recommendations of
the Hell Week Committee.as pub-
lished in the NEWS last week,
led to a vote being tabled until
next week, because Gill Bunshaft
brought up the idea of completely
changing the format back to the
way it was before World War II.
Students felt that they would like
to talk to some alumnae about the
advantages of the earlier system
before making a final decision,

Visitor From S. Vietnam

Includes BMC in Tour

by Karen Durbin

Tran Thi Thuc, 22-year old
student from the University of
Saigon in South Vietnam, is at
Bryn Mawr this week as part of
her one-month visit to the United
States,

Thuc, whose visit is sponsored
by the Asia Foundation and the
U.S. National Student Association,
was. chosen for the trip after
Cornell University requested the
South Vietnamese Ministry of Ed-
ucation to send a delegate to its
International Conference of Stu-
dents, held in late February.

The vivacious Thucwas a logical
choice, for in Saigon she is the
only girl on the 14-member tem-
porary governing body of the

_Vietnamese Student Union and is

vice-president for Internal Affairs
in the Union of Student Represen-
tatives of the Faculty of Letters
at the University of Saigon.

Bryn Mawr _ students had the
opportunity to meet Thuc Tuesday
afternoon at a tea in the Ely
Room, Wyndham, given by her
hostess, Tatty Gresham. Thuc, who





Tran Thi Thuc
speaks English and French as
well as Vietnamese, faced the
barrage of questions with charfning
poise.

Topics ranged from her dress,
a long white satin brocade gown
which she made for ‘‘everyday’’
wear, to her major at the univer-
sity, English. (The obvious subject,
politics, was omitted since Thuc
remarked that she had been advised
by her professors not to attempt
a discussion of the Vietnam polit-

ical situation. She added that
‘being only a girl,’’ she felt un-
qualified to comment on the
situation),

Thuc said-she was enjoying every
part of her American visit,
although she admitted home-
sickness her first evening in New
York, which she found exciting
but ‘*very noisy.’’

From here, Thuc will fly Friday
to Chicago and Mundelein College,
then to.the University of Illinois,
and finally to San Francisco. She
then .returns to Saigon where she

will resume studies at the univer-

sity for her B,A,

Slate of Nominees
For Six Positions

Freshmen, Sophomores and
Juniors nominated candidates for
a. variety of campus offices at
simultaneous class meetings
Tuesday afternoon, These elec-
tions will follow the naming of
Undergrad and Self-Gov vice pres-
idents and secretaries this week.
week,

Running for first sophomore
representative to Self-Gov are
Beth Chadwick, Galen Clark, Sue
Nosco and Ann Platt, who will
compete in an all-campus election.

Sophomores have nominated Bev
Lange, Ricky Emrich and Susan
Ames for Common Treasurer, and
Ruth Levy and Cile Yow for Social
Chairman. Only sophomores will
vote for these officers,

Also nominated at the sophomore
meeting were candidates for first
junior representative to Self-Gov.
Emily Singer, Terry Newirth,
Nancy Gellman, Ellen Simonoff,
Joan Segal and Mary Delaney, are
contending for the position, Who-
ever loses the elections for Under -
grad and Self-Gov secretary may

‘also have ‘the option of becoming

a candidate in this race.

The second Junior Self-Gov. rep._

will be the person who receives
the next highest amount of votes
in the first rep election.

Juniors opened nominations for
next year’s’ year book editor, for

which position people may run in |

pairs or individually. The ballot
is still-open for write-ins.

The. candidates for first senior
to Self-Gov will be all the vice
presidential candidates for Self-
Gov except the winner,

tuition for its 1965-66 Fellows plus
$1,800 for living expenses.

The six Bryn Mawr Wilson Fel-
‘tows show a wide range of interests,
both in major fields and in non-
academic activities, Ann Allen’s
particular interest is early twenti-
eth-century German history, es-
pecially that of the Weimar Repub-
lic: her honors paper this year
will deal withthe political ideas
contained in the plays of the Ger-
man expressionist Toller.

She is eager to teach, and con-
siders her field a challenging one,
but she also calls herself ‘very
remiss on present-day politics’?
and hopes to become more polit-
ically active once ‘‘out in the
world,’’ She will probably use her
fellowship at Yale.

Emily Bardack hopes to use her
fellowship studying History of Art,
especially modern art, at Colum-
bia. Certainly known for her work
as President of Self-Gov, she is
just as strongly interested in the
teaching of history of art as a way
of ‘‘increasing perception’? -- of
making people ‘‘aware of what our
culture is like.’’

Betsy Greene will study the
rather different field of Medieval
English Literature at Yale or the
University of Toronto--although as
Copy * Editor of THE COLLEGE
NEWS (and admirer of such latter-

’ day’ medievalists as J.R.R. Tol-

Undergrads Name

kien) she shows literary tastes
that MUST extend later than
Chaucer,

Two Archaeology majors are
Wilson Fellows this year , both con-
centrating on the Near East, though
in different periods. Sally Harris,
who has been putting together Phil-

istine pots in the University of
Pennsylvania Museum for _ her
honors paper, and has also been
President of the Young Repub-
licans, and twice a\member of the
Self-Gov Executive Board, will bea
delegate to an Annapolis confer-
ence in April, on U.S, policy inthe
Middle East.

Harriet Osborn has worked with
Curriculum Committee, College
Theater, and the Philadelphia tu-
toring project, but in Archaeology
has concentrated on the prehistory
‘of the Near East before 2000. B,C.
She is working on an honors paper
on the development of Mesopo-
tamian temple architecture in this
period.

Both will prepare for teaching
as the work most readily open to
‘an archaeologist, Harriet at the
University of Pennsylvania, ‘Sally
there or at Columbia.

Rolly Phillips has a Fulbright
fellowship to Cambridge next year,
and will try to defer the Wilson
fellowship to use at the Univer-
sity of Washington the year after.
She finds it very difficult to choose

between Latin and Greek as a field
of concentration, In her honors

paper she discusses the personal-
and political - connotations of the
word for ‘‘friendship’’ in both
languages.

The ‘ Foundation has also an-~

nounced nine Fellows. from Haver-
ford and sixteen from Swarthmore.
It has also accorded honorable
mention to five Bryn Mawrters:
Maria Callas (majoring in Rus-.
sian), Maresa Fanelli (French),
Rebecca McDowella(Linguistics),
Grace Seiberling (History of Art),
and Wendy Westbrook (English).

Undergrad’s Eminent Speaker
Louis Kahn to Talk Monday

by Robin Johnson

The Undergrad Eminent Speaker
for 1965 is Louis I, Kahn, who will
talk Monday, March 15, at 8:30 p,m.
in Goodhart on a topic not yet
announced,

Mr. Kahn is well known to Bryn
Mawrters as the architect of Erd-
man, As Mr. Kahn himself has



Louis Kahn

indicated in a discussion of the
building in the Bryn Mawr Alumnae

Bulletin of 1962, the design of

Erdman is the result of the ap-
plication of several of his. basic
theories about architecture.

Mr. Kahn has called architecture

involving ‘‘an intuitive understand-
ing of order, the order of spaces,
of structure, of building, of serv-
ices, of movement, all taken sep-
arately and together.’’ Mr. Kahn’s
attention to the purpose of Erdman
as a girls’ dormitory--influenced
his otherwise purely geometric
design of the building. He designed
it in “‘three levels, withthe middle
level the entrance and social
level,”” and with rooms arranged
around the large halls in each
wing much the way rooms ina
medieval Scottish castle are
grouped around a central court.
Mr. Kahn has used much the same
kind of purposeful, even symbolic,
arrangement of buildings in his
designs for governmental and cul-
tural buildings for the new capital
of Pakjstan.

Another problem of great imp-
portance to Mry Kahn was the
positioning of Erdman, asa ‘**com-
position of squares’’ seen opposite
Pembroke; and, more important,

as a composition of light and |

shadow involving Erdman’s angu-
lar facade on the outside, and its
clearstory lighting on the inside--
a kind of lighting which Mr. Kahn
has used frequently. Such concepts
of form, purpose, and position, and
their applications to Erdman may
well be the subject of his coming

Something of Value

a
When a program of exchanges with other colleges was begun a few
years ago, it seemed like an excellent idea. It still does. Exchanges
provide first-hand knowledge of other campuses, with insight into the
problems they have and the methods they used to solve them..They give

another slant on ourselves and keep us from. becoming ingrown.

Somewhere along the line, however, the exchange committee seems to
have lost sight of its primary goal: a fresh influx of ideas from other
colleges and other students. The points in M.H.F’s letter are well
taken; the exchanges with southern schools connected with the civil
rights struggle are important and valuable, but exchanges should not

be limited only to them. Me

We have now exchanged twice with Tougaloo. Another meeting will
serve to renew old friendships, not to help either us or them to under-
“Stand each other any better, Exchanges with other schools in the same
Situation as Tougaloo may be interesting but not particularly informative.

The exchange instituted last year with Sarah Lawrence was especially
useful, We are primarily an academic institution; our main interests
must necessarily lie in the academic realm, A school such as Sarah
Lawrence, with its liberal policies and promotion of independent study,
offers opportunities for us to study at close hand the newest innovations
in liberal arts education. The students who went to Bronxville last year
returned with a clear idea of what is happening there.

Why not explore other colleges for their academic situations? 'Ex-
~changes with our ‘Seven Sister’’ cousins or schools with unusual pro-
rams, such as Antioch or Bennington, might prove of great value to
Bryn Mawr as well as to the schools exchanging with us.

Mind?

‘The recent elections have revealed another of the Bryn Mawrter’s —

exceptional qualities, One can now include, in addition to the usual

characteristics prevalent among students (articulateness, charm, wit,,

and mind) - the inability to follow directions.

Stamped clearly at the top of every ballot is a request to vote for
candidates in preferential order. Yet, in the last tally, over 40 ballots
were invalidated because students failed to comply with, or could not
follow, the directions adequately. It has not yet been discovered whether
the large number of inadequate ballots is due to an inability to count
or an inability to read.

This election is notable for another reason - the unusually high
percentage of abstentions. This may be an evidence of political hon-
esty; a failure to vote because on does not ‘‘know enough about the
candidates and issues to vote intelligently.’? However, it may also be
a manifestation of political lassitude, of not knowing because of not
caring to know. Question: Are we to become known for our articulate
expression, excess of interest and inability to read?

Food Farce

Some awfully funny menus turned up in the dorms end of last week.
Strang¢; we always thought the menus were pretty funny before.

Anyway, that very food farce (including such delicacies as cream of
soup, filet of hammock,whole fresh baked bean, sauerkraut sand-
wiches. and pineapple-passion-sublime) was refreshing to say the
least, mainly because it was an erratic, occasionally erotic, change
from the usual,

We'd like to suggest to the Rhoads North gourmets who concocted
the menus some additional ludicrous dishes: pork chops with chicken
stuffing, xchocolate ice cream with pineapple sauce, liverwurst and
bacon dwiches, sugar and stewed tomatoes, or pineapple ice cream
and chocolate sauce. (Strange, we vaguely recall tasting these some-
where before.)

But let us bravely keep on blaming the mediocrity of our food on
mass production and go to the College Inn for dinner.

WBMC

To the Editor:

Hopefully, Bryn Mawr students
are already aware that something
of a renaissance is now taking
place: at WHRC-WBMC, the cam-
pus radio station. This semester,
there are more students than ever

re. working on the station: a
a of 68, approximately 20 of
whom are Bryn Mawr girls. The
station now offers 24-hour a-day
service by re-broadcasting
WDVR-FM during those hours,
when WHRC is not itself broad-
casting. In short, all the station
lacks at this point is a large lis-
tening audience in the Bryn Mawr
dorms in which it can be re-
ceived(Rockefeller, Rhoads, Pem-
broke, Radnor, Merion and Den-
bigh). .

But why should Bryn Mawr girls
listen to WHRC rather than-any
of the professional stations in the
area? First of all, because WHRC
offers a large variety of types of
programs and, since its program-
ming is ‘*blocked,’? anyone can
tune in to the station at the same
time of day and_know exactly what-
kind of entertainment she will find.
Furthermore, we offer classical’
music at times when most pro-
fessional stations do not, rock and
roll at times when most profes-

sional stations do not, andnews that ©

covers not only the international
and local scenes but also the
Bryn Mawr and Haverford campus-
es. Though we keep students highly
informed about campus events, we
do not present commercials. And
NO other station in the area offers
re-broadcasts of campus con-
certs, lectures, sport#*events, or
interyiews,

WHRC-WBMC is capable of be-
coming a vital part of the campus
community. We who are working
on it hope that students, by check-

author of a pamphlet, ‘‘The:In-
tellectual as an Agent of Social
Change,’’ which is available in the
library reserve book room.

This Friday at 1:30 p.m., at-
torney Mark Lane will speak at
Stokes Hall Auditorium, Haver-
ford, on the questions concerning
Kennedy’s death left unsettled by
the Warren Commission, Lane was
Lee Harvey Oswald’s attorney and
still believes that Oswald did not
shoot Kennedy. He proposed
a theory that rightist groups, Dal-
las businessmen, and the Dallas
police joined in a coalition to kill
the President. Lane spoke last
year at Haverford and drew atten-
‘tion to a number of nebulous cir-
cumstances surrounding the death,
only some of which the Warren|
report explained adequately. :

Lane’s challenge to unthinking
acceptance of the Warren Commis-
sion’s statement that Oswald shot
Président Kennedy and the in-
formation he has uncovered about
extreme rightist groups which
present a real threat to the coun-
try while posing as ‘‘superpatri-

A Frustrated Office Seeker

Exchange

To the Editor: :
When Digby Baltzell spoke about
the politicalization of the cam-
pus, the crowd in the Common
Room was. certain that he was
not referring to apathetic ‘Bryn
Mawr. In our ivory tower surely
we remain objective and do not
fashion our education after polit-
ical ideologies. Looking at the
colleges selected by the Student
Exchange Committee, I have begun
to wonder, So
I am not against civil rights.

, I think it is worthwhile to ex-

change with Southern schools in
order that we might become bet-
ter acquainted with their situations
and problems, I do question, how-
ever, the merit of repeated visit-
ing with the same college, such
as Tougaloo, Also, what is the
rationale for choosing several
schools of the same type?

By not including academic ex-.
changes, the committee seems to
be catering to one segment of the
student body. Last year, girls
went to Sarah Lawrence. Why not
Bennington, or St, John’s, or An-
tioch this year? These colleges
were listed as suggestions on the
sign-up sheet in Taylor, but they
seem to have been overlooked.

The exchange program ought to
be responsive to student wishes,
Perhaps we need a better way of
selecting the committee and the
colleges.

‘Publish or Perish’ Question
Stirs Undergraduate Protests

by Pam Barald

Yale students have kept up a
week-long 24-hour-a-day picket of
their administration offices. Their
protest. centers around a faculty
committee’s refusal to grant
tenure to a popular young pro-
fessor of philosophy, Dr. Richard
Bernstein. Students claim he is
being dismissed because he has”
only published works of high?
quality and not in quantity.

This incident applies directly
to the current academic problem
which some Princeton wit has
dubbed ‘‘publish or perish.’’ The
Slogan refers to the college and
university policy of hiring and
granting tenure to professors who
have published widely in their
specialties, Students hold that this
kind of determination discrimi-
nates against the good teacher
who is not prolific.

Wa SECA) ME en rere SET

The ‘‘publish or perish’? ques-
tion has been emphasized by a
considerable variety of students
and popular sources in the last

. few months. (LIFE magazine re-

cently published an article about
the struggles of an untenured pro-

fessor at the University of
California.) Princeton Univer-
sity’s DAILY PRINCETONIAN

contributed eight pages of com-
ment to the problem,

The substance of the issue is
the question of the professor’s
role on campus. Is _& professor
to be hired because of academic
prolificacy even if he cannot de-
liver a coherent lecture? Is a
professor to be hired or granted
tenure’ if he is an inspiring teach-
er who has published nothing which
will enhance the academic pres-
tige of his institution?

The academists claim that a
professor is primarily a scholar
who teaches because he must main-
tain that scholarship. They hold
that his published works afe the
major proof of his scholarship
and that he brings distinction to
his school only in this way. The
answer to this is simple. The
professor’s role is teaching; and,
he should be judged on this quality
only. An inspiring professor who
encourages students’ creativity
and teaches them to think is worth
a dozen scholarly articles on the
influence of the Thomist aesthetic
on Henry James’ later novels, or
volumes on the War of 1812.

A man who joins a college as
a scholar and whose main con-
cerns are his research and writ-
ing -- a man who does not teach
out of love for it -- cannot achieve
a rapport with students. Only those
professors who are teachers and
scholars, with the emphasis on
the former quality, can be truly
useful to the student.

The ‘‘publish or perish’? issue
brings up the ever prevalent ques-
tion of academic freedom --
freedom for the professor to teach
and to write, freedom of inter-:
action between student and profes-
sor, the right of both student and
professor to the best possible
education and,to a-healthy aca-
demic and intellectual atmosphere.

Dean Barr defined the conflict

an a student exercise his rights

institution forbids him to do so?
| In comparatively liberal col-

Bryn Mawr choral director,
promises that the accoustics are
superb from this position.

A bus transporting the chorus

administration functioning as a
parent to enable students to grow
and learn.

Counseling and taking discip-
‘linary action are the purposes of
the enn, said Dean
Barr.

No one really defined his in-
stitutions’ position in loco paren-
tis,

This lack of definition was at-

‘tacked by students from the floor

who desire the policy of clearer
statement of position.

The only conclusion reached was
that administrations should func-
tion as parents in at least one way.
They should show students the pos-
sible outcome of actions, by an
unbiased presentation of facts and
experiences. This allows the stu-
dent to draw his own conclusions
and to act independently upon them.
In any society where truth and facts
are often obscured by prejudice in
general informational media, the
university must be the first place
to protect man’s right to seek and
test them.

Directors’ Styles

Convert Trilogy

Into Rare Show
by Erica Hahn

Rehearsals are now underway
for the three plays to be given
by the College Theatre as its
winter production. _, The three,
THE TIGER, ORPHEE and THE
PUBLIC EYE are as different
from each other as the styles
of the directors.

The opener is THE TIGER,
chosen because the audience should
be drawn rather-quickly into its
action. The heroine is brought
on stage screaming,

The play itself is a post-
Theatre-of-the-Absurd work
which presents a pair of people
one could supposedly meet on the
streets of New York, but rather
hopes one doesn’t. The man en-

visions himself as amade intellec- ~ :

tual and the women isthe brightest
mind in all of. Long Island.

Mysterious Rich Gartner is the.
director. He is ‘*mysterious’’ be-
cause he sits back smiling secretly
behind his beard and occasionally
throws hints to his cast about
what he wants.

ORPHEE is the second play of
the haphazard trilogy. It is the
perfectly unreal dream in between
two improbable events.

The general story line is a
traditional idea, a love triangle,
except that the third party is a
magic horse. The play itself is
a rather typical Cocteau rendi-
tion of a classical myth.

Jane Robbins is directing OR-
PHEE, Her cast is expected to
feel for the deepest meaning of
every line. Jane is also using
much music to invoke moods and
call for unusual responses.

The good-night piece, THE
PUBLIC EYE, is meant to leave
the audience in an optimistic
spirit. It is the only play whose
message is encouraging.

Certainly it is the most proba-
ble of the three. Written by an
Englishman, Peter Schaeffer, it
takes place in the office of a
middle-aged businessman married
to a young girl just discovering
the joy of life. A private detective
hired to follow her mentions that
11 horror movies in one week

~- are not among the joys of life.

Terry van Brunt has charge of
this play. Working with amore
orthodox play than the other MR,
he is giving it a more orthodox
interpretation and trying to em-
phasize the happiness of the
theme, |

The plays will be given at Good-

treatment and mastery of
language are the basic criteria to
be observed by the judges.

Culturally Disadvantaged

Merit ‘25’ Slights College,

Corrected List

by Lynne Lackenbach

“Bryn Mawr College Flunks
Popularity Poll’? said the headline
in the Philadelphia BULLETIN a
week or so ago. The article went
on to elaborate: Bryn Mawr was
missing from the count of 25 col-
leges preferred'by finalists in the
National Merit Scholar ship compe-
tition between 1961 and 1963.

The ‘popularity list,’’ as it was
by the BULLETIN,
resulted from the first and eg
choices of 120,000 merit
didates. Although the top 25 che
of women included six of the *¢ os
Sisters,’”” Bryn Mawr was not
among them,

The BULLETIN article, taken
from short. articles published in
NEWSWEEK and TIME that week,
of course covers only a part of
the story.

Mrs. Lyman Spitzer, Jr., pres-
ident of the Bryn Mawr Alumnae
Association, put her finger on the
crux of the problem when she said,
“‘This reminds me of the statis-
tician who waded across a river
and drowned, because he had com-
puted its average depth to bethree
feet.??

Mrs. Annie Leigh Broughton, di-
rector of admissions, also pointed
this out in a letter to the editors
of the BULLETIN following the
appearance of the article:

‘Bryn Mawr will never win a
contest based on sheer numbers,
whether it be the college choices
of Merit Semifinalists -or so
random a group as numbers of
candidates whose names begin with
the letter P.”’

Mrs. Clarissa Pell, Director of
Resources Committee; and Betsey
Pinckney, Rresident of Undergrad;
as well as the district .alumnae
counselors and representatives
gathered for the three days tohear
speeches and discussions on col-
leges in general and Bryn Mawr in
particular.

The first of these was titled

‘‘Looking Ahead to College’? and

was devoted .to discussing how to
help high school students make
realistic college-choices. How to
enlarge the information program
so as to communicate with more
college-bound students was also
brought up.

The topic of primary importance
was ‘**New Thinking in Education
for the Culturally Disadvantaged
Child.’? According to Betsey, this
was the highlight of the whole
Council, Betsey herself gave a
short speech at the Thursday lun-
cheon, She contrasted the Bryn
Mawr of her freshman year to
Bryn Mawr 1965. In those four
years, Bryn Mawr students have
been given increased academic
and social freedom, paralleled
with an increased responsibility
and ‘‘mgral imagination.’’

_ To prove her point, Betsey said
that when attendance ceased to be
taken at classes, more, instead
of fewer, students went to class.

She pointed to the success of the.

tutorial :projects, the fasts for.
freedom, the career opportunity
teas, the self-gov rule changes,
and the SAC seminars on educa-
tion as evidence of the fact that
Bryn Mawr students are not apa-
thetic and unaware of the world
outside the college. Lastly she
notes that students even dress
better than they did four year's ago.

During the three days, the rep-

-resentatives were taken on tours of

St. Louis and the* Washington
University campus, covered at the
time with four inches of snow,

What neither the BULLETIN nor
the two national newsmagazines
pointed out was that the Merit
Corporation itself had taken en-
rollment figires into account in
reporting its statistics.

The controversial table ap-
peared in the 1964 annual report
of the Merit Corporation entitled
*¢Spotlighting Intellectual Distinc-
tion.”? The table was one of two,
printed side by side on the same
__ page. The first, the one quoted by

e news media, listed 25 insti-
tutions most popular among girls,
where popularity was defined as
the total number of students who
named that college as their first
or second choice,

But it was the second, the ig-
nored one, which was the more
significant.-This table listed insti-
tutions highest-ranking in ‘‘esti-
mated selectivity.’® These
**estimated selectivities’’ were
computed by expressing the total
number of students naming a par-.
ticular college as a proportion of
freshmen enrolled by the college.

Bryn Mawr appeared in this
listing, but among its ‘*Seven Sis-
ters’? colleagues, Smith and

‘Vassar did not. And of the 25

institutions listed, all are coed
schools with the exceptions of
Bryn Mawr, Wellesley, and Mount
Holyoke.

“Among men’s colleges, the dis-
crepancy between the corrected
and uncorrected tables was even
greater. Haverford did not appear
among the **most popular’? insti-
tutions, but it stood high on the
list corrected for size. Similarly,
Swarthmore was. listed only when
size was taken into account,

In- general, large universities
predominated on the ‘straight’ list,
but were outnumbered on the cor-
rected list by small private
colleges, both all-men and coedu-
cational.

This weekend three Bryn Mawr
students were present at a Con-
ference on Urban Affairs in New
York City. Nancy Bradeen, Bar-
Xara Sachs and Liesa Stamm, ac-
companied’ by League’s faculty
adviser Miss Kathryn Koenig, at-
tended.

On Friday night Mayor Wagner
spoke very optimistically to the
entire group on urbanization in
New York.,

Saturday’s session began at lunch
with two more speakers. Martin
Anderson, Professor of Finance,
Columbia, spoke against urban re-
newal; William M. Birenbaum,
Provost of Long Island University,
discussed the positive aspects of
the city and its diversity of op-
portunity and opinion.

Saturday afternoon offered awide
variety in workshops. Nancy at-
tended the workshop on ‘*The City
Functional or Aesthetic’’ while

of

Barbara and Liesa attended one on “*

“The Emerging Class,’ All three
girls went to the workshop on
‘*Psychological Problems _ of
Urbanization.”” The afternoon
ended with a panel discussion led
by Leon Sinder, head of the So-
ciology Department at Long Island
University.

According to Nancy there was
much enthusiasm displayed, but
nothing conclusive brought out.
‘Since there was no major ques-
tion asked,’’ Nancy said, ‘‘it was
hard to sum up except with a pat
on the back to studénts willing to
study the city,’® Liesa, however,
said that the conference was not
valueless in that. tts e them

Short Short-Changes Peanuts Crew
In Uninspiring Gospel Interpretation

by. Nanette Holben. ~

If Robert L. Short were as in-
spired a writer as he thinks
Charles M, Schultz is an inspired
cartoonist, then his GOSPEL AC-
CORDING TO PEANUTS might not
read like a give-us-our-staley-
bread Sunday School pamphlet.

But by incorporating Charlie
Brown and company into a
Christian catechism, Short, in
Short, sells PEANUTS short.

Professed to be ‘‘a modern-day
handbook of the Christian faith,’
GOSPEL contains a plethoraof bad
puns; ‘* .,, we run into people
who do not care to have their
PEANUTS ‘salted’” or “ ,,..to-
day’s Church really is the world’s
largest non-prophet organiza-
tion.’’

allusions (from Kierkegaard,

Sing Bach Mass

Two performances of the Bach
B Minor Mass sung by the com-
bined choirs of Shipley School,
Haverford and Sarah Lawrence
Colleges will take place this week-
end.

The performance. Saturday will
be at 8:30 in Roberts Hall at
Haverford, Sunday it will be at 5
at the Church of. St. Luke of the
Epiphany.

The group, containing 225 people
altogether, will be accompanied by
a chamber orchestra under the
direction of Mr. Reese.

Only the second half of the mass
will be ‘sung. It will begin, there-
fore, at the Credo and continue
through the Sanctus to the end.
The first half of the mass was
done in 1960 also with Sarah Law-
rence, |

Dr. Reese is handling the per-
formance with various. sized
groups depending on the com-
plexity of the various sections
of the piece. He is using harpsi-
chords and special trumpets for
high Baroque portions.

Special professional soloists
.Willard Pierce and Donald Jones
will join the choirs. Both men
have sung the Mass previously,

vin, J.D. Salinger, John Henry
Newman, Sartre, Kafka, VanGogh,
Graham Greene, Rilke, H.A, Grun-
wald, S.L, Bethell and Christ, to
name a¥EW) is more pretentious
than enlightening. Packing them in-
to 124 pages, half of which are
covered with cartoons, suggests
that Short’s own writing isno more
than educated transition. ,

Sad, though, the educated transi-_

tion is disappointing, too; it’s the
old story of reading too much into
‘vague material that can mean all
things to all people. For example,
Short says Snoopy is a Christ

image (‘*The Hound of Heaven’’),

**Good Grief?’ is a kind of re-

.“Great

pentance leading to salvation, the
Pumpkin’’ is false
doctrine, rain and trees are the
**paradoxical nature of God’s love’’
and so forth,

PEANUTS is an effective cartoon
strip because its lightness literally
carries it to heights. Interpreting
it so heavily drags down its appeal,
as badly, in fact, as GOSPEL

drags along. Happiness is a warm -

puppy, not a heated-over Christ

anology.

Short’s GOSPEL is redeemed
only by the inclusion of PEANUTS
cartoons. And indeed, as God needs
no deciphering to the faithful,
somehow neither does PEANUTS,

“At least the Freshmen have
potential. Maybe next year’s
Sophomore production will, then,
be better than this year’s, The plot
of this year’s Sophomore skit was
the unoriginal caricature of big
aggressive Bryn Mawr invading
little puny Haverford, The theme
was sex=pure and unadulterated
and uncensored. Most of the lines
evoked a feeling more of disgust
rather than of humor. The class
of ’67 overstepped its boundaries.
The attacks on individuals were un-
called for. The show with its cast
of thousands was, really nothing
but a smutorama, which not even
Bob Sinclair’s talents could repair.
Give us a break fellas!

After that little bit of porno-
graphy the Junior Show was. quite
a relief. With the ideal Haverford
Harry as a pivot point, Dean Lyons;
and the entire administrationwefe
plastered all over Roberts Hall.
The plot concerned what could be
done to make Harry, who was so
perfect he was out of it, feel that
he belonged. Only with it’s ‘‘Haver-
ford Harry’? could the college sur-
vive. The lines were CLEAN and
clever and the acting particularly
good. Mike Punzak, Munson Hicks
and Mike Warlow deserve special
comment. The music, written by
Bob Baker and Tom Bonnell, was
very effective. The major fault
was that so much of the script

were ‘‘in with the in crowd’? much
of the humor was lost.

Action continued to pick up after
that point. The seniors were a
roaring, uproarious success, The
administration sent its valiant
Knight Sir Lanchalot on a quest
to find the Holy Grail which was
in the possession of Ford (founda-
tion), the great corporate dragon.
Though the plot itself was rather
weak the time and effort obviously
expended in putting together the
sets, choreography, music and

costumes well made up for it. The”

Satire was very clever and re-
freshingly .enough it, too, was
clean, The acting was very good
though not quite up to that of the
Juniors. Things kept moving and
the audience had to keep an eye on
the stage every minute. On awhole

by Hans G&l for the 75th Anni-

and is based on four Renaissance
poems about youth and age. Then
the Washingtoh and Lee Glee Club

Campus ‘Digging’

Settles Question:
Spring Is Sprung

by Peggy Wilber

Spring, alas, or at last, is upon
Bryn Mawr; the front lawn of the
library has once again been totally
dug up, so that, ironically enough,
no blade of grass is evident. Also,
much to the student-in-a-hurry’s
dismay, (and that includes any one
still around at‘ this time of year),
the whole area has been fenced in,
making the diagonal detour no lon-
ger possible. Thus the sleepy-eyed
Monday morning survivor is forc-
ed to leave for class a full two
minutes earlier in order to tread
the straight {and narrow?) path.

The object of all this excavation,
of course, to mundanely oriented
minds, is to somehow convert the
area into a lush greensward -
perhaps even in time for Parents’
Day, a mere month away. However,
to adventurous souls, who saw a
shark-tooth motif in the new
dorm’s facade, this new ‘‘dig’’
offers similar, tantalizing possi-
bilities. Can the Archaeology De-
partment have sensed that below
this humble soil lies treasure as
great as any that might be found
in Turkey or Greece? Might the
Geology Department, literally or
figuratively, have detected evi-
dence for a possible gold mine in
our own backyard? Or, most ex-
citing to the scholar’s mentality
shared by all Bryn Mawrters, have
subversive. elements, concerned
over lack of space in the library,
taken the situation into their own

_ hands, and begun to lay the ground-

works for the often bruited ad-
dition? If this is so, we can be
certain that the most tantalizing
part of the whole process must go
on the dead of night, so that when
arising some morning soon, some
great new _ structure may have
mushroomed up, overnight, dwarf-
ing all other structures inthe area.

Se a A ee TNE AE IO a Se



and with assurance, William Supon,
Dan Mason, Jon Neergaard, and
Mike Denton delighted the audience
with their performance of
CONCEITED (an operatic bur-
lesque), in which each one claimed
to be a greater virtuoso than the
other, Their enactment of it made |
it terrifically funny.

The highlight of the: program |
was Hindemith’s SIX CHANSONS |
on six French poems on nature by |
Rilke. The combined’ small)
choruses from the two schools |
conveyed the feeling of all of the |
poems - each of which has a.
different mood and is quite difficult |
to sing well - beautifully. The
Chansons were followed by four
selections - Zindar’s MODER-
ATELY FAST QUINTET,
Lassus’
UM, Schutz’s ABSOLOM, FILI MI,

which was sung by William Supon,

and a fourth piece which was
substituted at the last minute. The
program was concluded by Schitz’s
PSALM 150, which sounded full and
magnificent, sung by the combined
choruses, Unfortunately, however,
the Brass Choir was a little over-
powering during this selection.
The concert as a whole was

many,

ticated program presented under
the auspices of Interfaith last Wed-
nesday night inthe Common Room.

was demonstrated in an |
interesting if somewhat ufisophis- _— .

The dance group consisted of :

nine students from East Strouds-
burg State College in the Poconos
and their director, Mrs. Mary
Jane Wolbers, dance and rhythms
instructor at the college.

Despite their painfully small
audience, the group performed with
an enthusiasm and sincerity which
more than compensated for the
occasional unfinished moments in
their various dances,

The program was informally
presented, with the philosophy
and purpose of each piece ex-
plained by one of’ the students
before its performance.

Two highlights of the evening

were solos by Mrs. Wolbers, cos- .

tumed in a simple white modern
dance dress. The first, ‘‘Attitudes
of Prayer,’’ was a graceful and
highly formalized interpretation of
various postures of worship,
danced to Weinberger’s ‘Song of
Deborah.’? Her second solo de-

“Chinese” Bryn Mawrters
Oppose Communist Cousin

by Patty Bauer, '66

On Thursday, March 4th, five
“‘Chinese’’ Bryn Mawrters quitted
their ivory towers to attend the
1965 National Model General As-
sembly at the Commodore Hotel
in NYC, Conference activity be-
gan- almost immediately. At a
2:30 meeting at the Chinese Mis-

“sion, arranged by the Collegiate

Council to the United Nations,
we were thoroughly impressed by
the ‘diplomatic’? charm of Mr.
Tsao, Counsellor ‘in Economic
and Social Affairs, His briefing
on the essentials of Chinese for-
eign policy later proved invaluable,
when we were called upon to rep-
resent the (Nationalist) Chinese
position on various resolutions.
Later, all the delegates met in
the General Assembly Room at
the UN to hear an opening ad-
dress by Chief Adebo, the Niger-
ian ambassador to the UN, His
remarks addressed to the ques-
tion, ‘‘Does the UN havea future?’’
were confidently affirmative; he
based this judgment on the fact
that nations do care enough to
come to the UN, even when ses-
sions are as disappointing as-the
last one.

After dinner we attended in-
dividual committee meetings.
Committee assignments had been
made prior to the conference, so
each girl had had the opportunity
to do background reading on the
resolutions that would be pre-
sented in her committee. The
Political Committee, attended by
Susan Klaus, discussed the prob-
lems connected with disarmament
and the Federation of Malaysia.
In the Colonization committee,
Helen Fairbank actively upheld
‘tour’? views on Southwest Africa,
the Portugese territories, and
British Guiana. International trade
and the financing of UN opera-
tions were the chief concerns of
the economic committee, of which
Cecilia Andrade was a member.
My own committee, the Social
and Humanitarian, considered
resolutions on racial discrimin-
ation and literacy.

After the committee sessions,
we were introduced to ‘‘bloc’’
politics. Because of. our close
ties to the United States (the nation,
that is, not the representing uni-
versity, Georgetown), we attended
.the ‘*Western Bloc’’ meeting. Un-
fortunately, the only thing we could
agree upon was the election of a
delegate from the USA to act as
chairman!

The General Assembly sessions

gave me a new understanding of
the nature of the real UN opera-
tions and difficulties. We were all
rather awed at the extent to which
parliamentary procedure couldbe
used to control action; we were
even more amazed to. find our-
selves involved: in such maneu-
vers when the USA requested our

help in making sure that the reso- —

lution censoring its conduct in
Vietnam was kept off the floor of
the General Assembly. The most
crucia) question for our delega-
tion was that of the recognition

of the Communist Chinese regime.
Having secured the ruling that
this was an ‘‘important issue’’
(therefore requiring a 2/3 assent-
ing vote of those nations present
and voting), we were able to have
it defeated; 38 for, 48 against,
and 20 abstaining.

Norman Hill Says

Coalition Needed

Of Rights, Labor

A coalition to pressure legisla-
tive forces to carry out measures
necessary to gain common ends
must be formed among liberal
progressive forces, These include

civil rights, labor, and religious °

groups.

Thus spoke Norman Hill, staff
representative of the Industrial
Union Department of the AFL-CIO,
speaking on ‘‘Civil Rights and
Labor Unions,’’ Mr. Hill is the
former secretary of Illinois’
Socialist Party and an ex-CORE
member, He is also a Haverford
alumnus,

The both

goals’ of civil

‘Tights and labor groups are social

and economic. The final :solution
to the crying economic problems
in the US is democratic economic
planning, similar to that in some
European countries, It must take
into account the workers automated

‘out of work and those with too

little education to go into highly
skilled jobs. To get this, a political
breakthrough, engineered by all
united liberal forces Gomanding it,
must be made.

To gain communication between
civil rights and labor, acivil rights
task force: has been formed
recently in the AFL-CIO,

Formerly labor, especially the
building trades, were uninterested
in civil rights and would not work
for them politically.

However, there is a direct
relation between organization of
poorly paid and unemployed
workers and expanding the labor
movement, Civil rights forces are
recognizing this organization of the
poor as one way, maybe the only
effective way, of uniting numbers
needed to vocalize desire for
change.

With the know-how of labor and
the driving spirit of the civil
rights movement, the organization
and political action needed to get
economic planning becomes a
probability, It is certainly a
necessity. :

a Discusses Don Quixote:
Puppet Show Narrative Styles

The Spanish Department pre-
sented George Haley, professor
of Spanish at the University of
Chicago, speaking on ‘Master
Peter’s Puppet Show: Techniques
of. Narration in the QUIXOTE”

Tuesday at 4:30. p.m.-in the Com- -

mon Room,

Mr. Haley began by explaining
the general layout of DON QUIXO-
TE: how an unknown “I? narrated
the first eight chapters, and thena
second author, thought to be Cer-
vantes himself, took over. He says
he was curious to know how the
story came out, so he is narrating
and commenting upon the original
Moorish text, translated by a

- Morisco.

The Inn scene, recounted by the
second author, contains a puppet
show put on by Master Peter, who
moves the puppets and his assis-
tant who narrates the story, adding
embellishments and explanations.
Thus, the reader finds himself
observing ‘a show within a show.’’

From the audience Don Quixote
objects to the intrusion of misin-
formation by the assistant into the
legend acted by the puppets. Don
Quixote believes implicitly in the
reality of the legend. The assistant
and Don Quixote engage ina verbal
battle into which Master Peter
enters from behind the scenes.
When the puppet show is destroyed

through Don Quixote’s anger,
Master Peter is revealed as a
fake.

Through this incident the
reader learns to distinguish be-
tween illusion and reality which
stands him in good stead through-
out the rest of the novel. Don
Quixote’s:adventures are remark-
ably ‘similar to those of the puppets.
As the assistant narrated the show,
so the second author recounts the
deeds of the hero,

Cervantes’ techniques, the
show within the show, the assis-
tant, the authors and translators,
all serve to build an illusion; but
the reader has been fully warned
ahead of time to separate fact
from fancy. One of the purposes
of DON QUIXOTE is to reveal the
artificiality of the chivalric novel;
Haley brought this intent out quite
Clearly in his. explanation of. the
