£

A $4,000,000 ‘“*modern library”’
is currently under development to
supplement the now over-crowded
M, Carey Thomas Library of Bryn
Mawr College.

The plan recently approved by
the Board of Directors is being
designed by O’Connor and Kilham
of New York City. Architects for
many college and _ university
libraries, they are responsible for
the Firestone Library at Prince-
ton and the Robert Frost Library
at Amherst, Mr. Philip M. Chu
is the architect in charge of the
Bryn Mawr plan,

Miss McBride describes the
prospective five-floor library both
as ‘the new library’’ and
‘*4 major extension of the pre-
sent library,’’ since the two will
be used in close conjunction. It
will provide 100,000 square feet
overall and be placed next to the
M. Carey Thomas Library, which
will continue to be the center for
faculty offices and some seminar
rooms, and have a considerably

~ enlarged space for art and arch-
aeology.

The concept of a ‘*modern li-
brary”’ is that it brings books and
readers together instead of having
books one place and readers
another. Thus the new library will

facilitate 699 readers in study
space close to books and journals-
that is, directly in the stacks.
This library will also contain
typing and smoking rooms.

Shelf space for books in the
collection. will be, doubled, and at
last the librarians will be given
adequate work space,

The Deanery site appears to be
the only space large enough for
the new library building, and there-
fore the Deanery will have to be
relocated, Mr. Erling Pedersen,
architectural consultant to the His-

’ toric Houses Committee of the Old

Philadelphia Development Corpor-

‘ation, is currently making.studies

as to the possibility of extending
Wyndham to serve the purposes
of the present Deanery. There is
as yet no estimate of the cost
of relocating the Deanery.

The cost of the new library is
tentatively estimated at
$4,000,000; there is . already
$1,500,000 set aside for it from
funds raised during the three years
of the matching grant from the
Ford Foundation.

Construction of the new library
will not begin until the additional
funds are raised, and until the ne-
cessary study of the relocation of
the Deanery is made. It is agreed

May Day Festivities Promise
Traditions Plus Social Events

Bryn Mawr’s annual May Day
rites are scheduled for Friday,
April 29, this year. The agenda
of events stretches from 5:45a.m.
Friday into the equally small hours
of Saturday and Sunday mornings.

At the unlikely hour of 5:45
a.m. of May Day, sophomores wake
the seniors in each hall. After a
coffee and doughnuts wake-up at-
tempt, the senior class pres-
ident, Caroline Willis, leads her
class to Miss McBride’s house
carrying Miss McBride’s May bas-
ket and her own.

At 7:00 Miss McBride and Caro-
line lead the seniors to Rocke-
feller Tower where the traditional
hymn to the sun is sung, The
seniors go down the stairs of
Rock four by four led by Miss
McBride and song mistress, while
all sing ‘*The Hunt is Up.”’

class song mistress will lead the
seniors to breakfast.

The official May Day march be-
gines at ‘8:00 a.m. It is followed
by the May Queen’s speech and
Miss McBride’s address. After
the May Pole dancing by all
classes, Pem East offers its
dragon play at 8:30. The pro-
cession next returns to Goodhart,.

The grand entrance by seniors,
bearing interlocking hoops and
singing ‘‘To The Maypole,’’ will
be led by the Queen and song
mistress.

Next on the schedule is the
May Day award assembly. Upon
its conclusion, all proceed to

* Senior Row to watch the Class

of ’65 roll hoops.

May Day afternoon will feature
a stylized rendition of a typical
ballad with background music. The

in the Cloisters,

that there will be no general appeal
to alumnae for funds; rathér, the
college hopes to erect the library
with the help of foundation grants
and special gifts.

During the past eight years,
various studies of ways to expand
library have been
made, including putting floors
underneath the Cloister or filling
up the Cloister or adding another
building behind the Thomas
Library, but none of these pro-
posals was adequate for future
expansion.

Undergrad Treats

Raise in Amount
Of Activities Fee

Undergrad’s newly elected
Executive Council discussed
Monday night the proposal made
to the previous Council of chang-
ing the Undergrad dues to an
“activities fee” of $20.00 or more,
and heard a report on the sche-
duling of activities for next year’s
Freshman Week,

Freshman Week Committee
heads Esther Stefansky and Lise
Cohen described next year’s big-
gest innovation: a booklet cir-
culated to freshmen in August by
Curriculum Committee listing
course schedules and describing
the subject matter of various cour-
ses,

The freshmen will arrive Thurs-
day, September 15, for the first

deans’ appointments and swimming

tests; that night, hall meetings
are scheduled to follow a Self-
Gov meeting, with Curriculum
Committee members present to
answer questions, Haverford will
finance dinner and a dance there
on Friday night; since Princeton
has refused to come, Saturday
night is still open, A faculty panel
discussion -- probably on liberal-
arts education--will be on Satur-
day, with Miss Mcbride’s tea and
faculty teas (it was suggested to
organize them by choice of de-
partment, as last year, rather
than by dorm, as this year) on
Sunday. Teas every afternoon will
be given by hall presidents for
freshmen with no appointments at
the time.

Undergrad. then discussed the
proposed budget increase, and the
advisability of raising dues one or
two dollars or of establishing a
$20.00 ‘‘activities fee.’’ This fee,
it was suggested, could be billed
to parents during the summer or
fall paralleling Haverford’s fee.

Undergrad decided to submit the
proposals to the students through
its **Committee of 39°’ (actually
a committee of ten in each dorm
led by the Undergrad rep, but with
the same opinion - tabulating
function as last year’s Committee),
which will record every student’s
reaction to the alternative plans.

Margaret listed advantages of
the $20 fee as “fan increase in
the caliber of speakers, and in
the (overall) quality of the arts
program’’ here, She also suggested
that increased responsibilities and
prestige would come to the Big
Six presidents with the increased
power they would have to plan
better and more extensive pro-
grams -- and that therefore
‘‘campus politics would pick »
20%." The great disadvantage of —

First Degree For Burns

The article panning the Burns Guards on page four of this week’s
NEWS was originally meant to be an entertaining anticipation of revel-
ries on May Day, when the wilds of Haverford are pitted against the wiles
of these protectors of the Bryn Mawr campus, But then we found in our
hands an irate petition from Merion; it opens ‘‘The events of Friday
night, April 15, 1966, at the Merion Hall mixer, serve-to point up with
great urgency the incompetence and confusion of the Burns Police
system ...’’ A humorous account of What the Burns Gurads Would Have
Said if There Had Been Any Around to Say It suddenly developed into a
more serious matter of concern.

The Merion petition continues, ‘It is appalling that only one policeman
should be available at a large open house, that no one could stop the
extensive drinking on the lawn, the climbing out of bedroom windows,
and the expensive loss of property, including typewriters.’’ It goes on to
protest that Burns Guards raid kitchens, use vulgar language and are
directly rude to the girls or their guests.

We would like to supplement these complaints by mentioning that
the two incidents cited in our reporter’s article on page four -- break-
ing into the Quita Woodward Room and swimming in Batten House pool
after hours -- haveactually happened recently, and not in the same spirit
as our reporter’s imaginary quest. Where were the Burns Guards then?
‘In short,’? says the Merion petition, ‘‘these men make us feel so far
from being secure as to sometimes feel threatened.

‘swe have no way of distinguishing those who have tried to do their
job tactfully, politely, and thoroughly. There may be such men; we wish
them not to take offense. Our anger is directed at the whole system:
something must be done about it!’’

Steps for improvement are up to the administration, First, the Burns
Guards might be impressed with the importance of etiquette; their
position is meant to be respected -- let them command respect, not’
defiance.

It has also been suggested that student doorkeepers be hired from
12:30-2:00 as well as the present 10:30-12:30. If problems should arise
at these hours within the dorm, the doorkeepers could alert their wardens
as easily as could lantern men or Burns Guards. The finances used for
lantern men could be put to use in better protection outside the dorms;
i.e. more Burns Guards, who have been alerted to the need for greater
vigilance and swifter action.

. It is unfortunate that these incidents shouldbe brought to the attention

of the college just before May Day; the anticipated Haverford attack
may be met with a severity that the attitude of Bryn Mawr students
would hardly appreciate. But in the light of these recent problems,
‘«something must be done about it!’ —

Curtain Call

. There has been considerable discussion on campus of late about what
constitutes an ideal educational experience and about how closely the
Bryn Mawr education approaches this abstraction. Certainly the ideal
experience is more than a passive imbibing of, facts. Surely it must
entail the student’s enlarging the scope and raising the level of his
thinking by the addition of new images, concepts, and principles to
his thought’s vocabulary. Further, it should involve his developing the
courage, conviction, and initiative to work upon this new material him-
self, to analyze it, and to arrange its parts in a synthesis, the peculiar
quality of which derives from that of the unique in his personal vision.
And finally, as well as a vital personal relationship with one’s subject,
it should include the attaining of equally vital interpersonal relationships
with the college and the larger communities through the interchange and
application of ideas.

Certain institutional features over which the students have no ultimate
control (although they may exercise considerable influence) can enable
or prevent, facilitate or hinder the achievement of such an educational
experience, Factors of organization, personnel, policy, philosophy, or
tradition cannot, however achieve it alone or guarantee its achievement.
For this is not the ‘‘education’’ that we speak of as being ‘‘provided;’’
it is a reciprocal process and requires as much of the students as of
the educational institution.

Complaints about the Bryn Mawr education have been darected both
against the attitudes and practices of the college, which allegedly fail
to generate the interest and enthusiasm requisite for active student
participation in the educational process, and against the apathy of a
student body that allegedly fails to respond tothe opportunities afforded
for contributing to campus life and classroom discussion, It thus seems
fitting to give particular attention to.a recent display of student initiative
that has worked through the existing organizational framework and yet
transcended it,

We are referring to the organization of Little Theatre, a student-run,
student-directed enterprise that (it is hoped) will come eventually to
be a valuable supplement to College Theatre. With the emphasis on
serious drama that generally characterizes the latter, Little Theatre
\ could utilize the talents of those whose particular bent is for comedies
or musicals. And it could enable the production of plays with small
casts without the accompanying disadvantage of leaving large numbers of

~ LETTERS ‘TO THE EDITOR!

Challenge
To the editor: .

This morning after breakfast I
picked up a COLLEGE NEWS and

“read Margaret Levi’s article (an

excerpt from the speech she is to
deliver in San Francisco), I let
out a yell of protest that col-
lected a sizeable group, and we
loudly debated her points for some
time. I have to admit that every-
one except me generally agreed
with her,

However, I think she should be
aware that there are some students

. (one, at least!) for whom this par-

ticular college experience
‘tworks.”” I like it here, and I
thoroughly approve of _ the

intellectual traditions of this com-
munity: yet I don’t feel any
deficit in ‘‘democratization and
intellectualization,’’ nor do I feel
above responsibility for my ine
fluence on other students in the
community,

This legend that the “‘level ‘of
participation in student affairs is
very low’’ is very prevalent, but
I don’t understand the basis for
it. Many students put on fine plays,
get together film series, work in
Self-Gov for continual rule changes
and innovations that are quan-
titatively and qualitatively more
impressive than changes made in
other schools, and there is a lot
of effective political activity, as
Margaret herself knows.

I hope that Margaret will take
these views into account if she is
going to the conference as a repre-

Clarification
To the Editor:

Although I am not representing
Bryn Mawy College per se at this
convocation in San Francisco, I

all comments and chal-
lenges in regards to my remarks,
To clarify a. bit: I do feel that
Bryn Mawr offers the possibility
for obtaining what I conceive of as
being an education, and I think
that its failures can be explained
by the attitudes of the students
more than by any other factor.

_ However, just because Bryn Mawr

is more intellectual and more
democratic than most. other
schools does not mean that it is
beyond analysis and improvement.
My speech continues:
‘¢Furthermore, a system which
makes grades the criteria for the

evaluation of a student’s per-

formance creates pressures and
goals which are. irrelevant to the
educational process, The pass-fail
method would, on the other hand,
insure that the emphasis be on
the student’s own desire to do well,
and most students, I believe, would
respond with their best if such a
system were in effect.

**Education must become a posi-
tive, meaningful, and flexible pro-
cess, not limited to the halls of
a university but extended into every
aspect of society. There isa world
beyond the college, and it is the
student’s responsibility to himself
for his education to participate in
its cultural, intellectual and
political activity, and it is the
administration’s responsibility to

Students have a unique position in
society, for they live in a com-

’ munity whose principle dedication

is the development of thought and
ideas, yet they are free from the
social restraints which might incur
in earning a living or being the
head of a family. It is, there-
fore, incumbent upon the student to

‘analyze radically and idealisti-

cally, the structure of both the
campus and the society beyond and
to make demands for their im-
provement.

‘(Democratization and intel-
lectualization of the campus will
not come about suddenly and will
require hard work at the grass-
roots level, The present university
has the potential to realize these
goals but first students must be
made aware that the myths of non-
participation, non- involvement,
privatism, the passive education,
and liberalism for liberalism’s
sake are, after all, only myths,
fallible and challengeable ... An
education, which is to be both
meaningful and positive, can
only be brought about through
outspoken and continuous. ques-
tioning, discussion, controversy,
and the presentation of alternatives
by faculty, administration, and es-
pecially students until the demand
for change is a general one, and
the analysis begins again. The
development of new theories of
education then becomes part of
the educative process, and the
whole college community would be
involved in realizing their respon-
sibilities to each other, to society,

Raphael Discusses Vietnam War,

Analyzes American Involvement

by Alan Raphael Haverford, °66

The extensive American involvement in South
Viet Nam dates from the years 1954-56, when the
U.S. gave strong support to the maintenance of the
Diem regime. The crucial event in this period was
the refusal of Diem to agree to the nationwide
elections called for by the Geneva agreements, The
provision for elections was the chief political
element of the accords which resulted in the
cessation of hostilities in Indochina.

The extent to which the U.S, was responsible
for the decision not to holdelections, or acquiesced
in it, is important in determining the extent of U.S,
responsibility for the recent history of Viet Nam.
The forces opposed to the U.S, in Viet Nain may
judge the sincerity of U.S, advocacy of negotiations
leading ‘to free elections by its actions in regard
to the elections called for as a result of the
negotiations at Geneva in 1954.

To understand Diem’s refusal to hold the elec-
tions, it is necessary to understand several factors:
the: military and political position in Viet Nam in
1954; the responsibilities of the major powers under
the Geneva agreements; and the effect of internal
conditions within the two zones of Viet Nam on the
national political situation.

When the Geneva Conference met in mid-1954,
the military situation in Indochina was most un-
favorable to the French. The Viet Minh controlled
most of Viet Nam and parts of Laos and Camb@dia;
the French had far too few troope and had lost a
great number of officers.

The conferees issued two statements. One was a
cessation of hostilities agreement between the
French Union forces and the Viet Minh. The other,
the Final Declaration of the Geneva Conference,
was affirmed by all the conferees except the U.S.,
which issued a separate declaration. The co-

chairmen of the conference were the foreign miniS- °

ters of Great Britain and the U.S.S.R., Eden and
Molotov, respectively.
The Delegation of the State of Viet Nam protested
- that the French High Command controlled the Viet-
namese troops only through the power of Chief of
State Bao Dai and that the French had no right to
negotiate. The Bao Dai government had no real
power, having been created as an attempt by the
French to divide the Vietnamese nationalist move-
ment.

The Geneva agreements provided for a cease-
fire, a regrouping of the opposing military forces —
_in separate zones, and the temporary partition of ©

the country until elections for a national govern-
ment took place,
The SmI PTE ot He Avision is made

clear in both of the documents issued. The final
declaration of the conference states this most
clearly: ‘‘... the military demarcation line is
provisional and should not in any way be inter-
preted as constituting a political or territorial
boundary.’’

In regard to elections, the cease-fire agreement
provides that, pending elections, the Viet Minh in
the north and the French in the south shall be in
charge of civil administration. The final declaration
indicates the timetable for elections: *‘... general
elections shall be heldin July 1956 under the super -
‘vision of an international commission composed of
representatives of the Member States of the Inter-
national Supervisory Commission (Canada, India
and Poland were the members; Indiawas the chair-
man), referred to in the agreement on the cessation
of hostilities. Consultations will be held on this
subject between the competent representative
authorities of the two zones from 20 July 1955
onwards.’? The decision to hold the elections two
years after the agreements were signedwas caused
by French and British insistence on a delay; the
Viet Minh had wanted elections in six months.

The accords were enthusiastically praised by
the Viet Minh, China, and the U.S.S.R. The U.S,
refused to associate itself with the final declara-
tion on the grounds that it had not been a bel-
ligerent in the war, but pledged not to violate the
agreements nor to approve of any violation.

Eden praised the agreements as ‘‘about the best
bargain France and the Associated States could
have made.’ Eden also criticized the U.S, opposi-
tion to the final declaration, claiming that ‘‘since
Dulles had been at least as responsible as our-
selves for calling-the Geneva Conference, this did
not seem to me reasonable.’’

The State of Viet Nam objected to the division
of the country and criticized the French for fixing
the date of the nation-wide elections. The latter
part of this criticism indicates that the State of
Viet Nam made no distinction between the two
agreements, since only the final declaration fixed
the date of elections.

The significant developments in the political
situation of Viet Nam in the two years following the
Geneva agreements concern the consolidation of
power by Ho Chi Minh and the Viet: Minh in the
north, and Ngo Dinh Diem in the south. Since the
Viet Minh already controlled most of the north and
were aided by the prestige of their leader Ho Chi
Minh; the transition to their total control was_
relatively easy. _- =

In the south, the political situation was unclear.
Bao Dai was not popular but neither were most of

Curriculum Committee Suggests Questionnaire On Freshman Comp

Comparative Literature Course Shows Decided Vote for C hange

Joan Cavallaro opened the meet-
ing of the Curriculum Committee
Tuesday night with a proposal to
alter the membership of the com-
mittee. In addition to the dorm
reps, she would like to have a
representative elected by the
majors in each department. She
suggested that the curriculum
committee then divide up into sub-
committees with executives who
would meet as a sort of executive

hoard.
A subcommittee was chosen to

study in more detail the com-
plaints received about Freshman
Comp and if possible formulate
specific proposals for improve-
ment.

Anumber of committee members
also volunteered to look into the
possibility of comparative liter-
aturg courses, one which would
involyé reading in several lan-
guagés and one which would deal
with. foreign literature in trans-
lation. There is some hope: that
such a course (or courses) could
be conducted by means of a
seminar-lecture or plain seminar °

Joan also asked that the com-

official recognition for work done
with the creative arts -- in dance,
in the College Theatre, in musical

Haverford Alumnus
Killed In Chicago

Paul Moses, a Haverford alum-
nus who graduated summa cum
laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1951,
was shot and killed in Chicago
last month, He was 36 years old.

Mr. Moses, who did graduate
work at Harvard, was Assistant
Professor of Art and Humanities
at. the University of Chicago and
a well-known art critic in the
Chicago area. - Earlier, hehad lived
in Bryn Mawr and Ardmore,

Haverford, Harvard, and the
University of Chicago are all taking
up collections for funds for the
education of Mr. Moses’s son
Michael, presently three years old.

_At Bryn Mawr, League is consid-_
ering the possibility of making a
similar contribution from the re-
ceipts of this year’s Campus Fund
Drive.



because the work they have done
carries no official credit, Related
to this problem is the problem of
lack of opportunity for training
in the fine arts, an issue which
the Committee intends to examine
in greater detail at subsequent
meetings.

A subcommittee was formed to
consider the possibility of some
sort of ‘course evaluation, and
another group volunteered to or-
ganize a seminar to be held at the
beginning of next. year on “‘The
Meaning of a Bryn Mawr Educa-
tion.’? From this seminar it-is
hoped that general goals will
emerge which both the curriculum
committee and the faculty com-
mittee can use as a guide for ac-
tion.

Several hundred of the question-
naires concerning Freshman
Comp, which were sent out by the
COLLEGE NEWS this week, were
returned in full with comments
running sometimes two pages. The
questionnaire sought to glean stu-
dent opinion on such things as
whether Freshman Comp shouldbe

limited to one semester, possibly -

with a choice of literature and
creative writing courses for the
second semester, whether the
freshman required course should
be: an introduction to literature
(like the present 101), and whether
compositions with reading lists
could replace classes,

An apparent majority of all clas-
ses (but especially the freshmen)
favored limiting the course to one

The temptation was just too
strong for the college female to
‘leave unparodied Princeton’s no-
torious directory of women’s col-
leges *‘Where the Girls Are.’’
So Smith and Holyoke did it --
published, that is, the eastern
college girl’s guide to the happy
hunting grounds of the Ivy League.

Their offering, appropriately
dubbed ‘‘Where the Boys Are,’’
provides a one-page, general blurb
on each of the men’s colleges
treated. These are generally fun-
ny, caustically so, in fact, con-
taining counterparts to the
‘texistentialism and Romantic

Poetry’? crack which immortalized
Bryn Mawr.
About Yale -- ‘‘A Yalie be-

lieves he’s riding on top of the Ivy
League: if he doesn’t really look
like John Lindsay, he at least
thinks he does.’?

About Williams -- ‘‘,.. the not
entirely abandoned Williams man
manages to remain a gentleman.
A Southern Gentleman, A Southern
gentleman who didn’t get into
Princeton.’’

About Columbia -- ‘‘... if you
want your Columbia man, you can
get him, And whatever his personal
shortcomings, he does have some-
thing to offer you: NEW YORK.’’

About Dartmouth -- ‘‘The Dart-
mouth man is a masochist: he will
regularly drive for three hours
just for a chance to be shot down
by a Smithie.’’ (REALLY, girls.
Ed.)

Along with the predictably amus-
ing general write-ups, the girls
ap-
parently meant to depict the
typical you with the typical him
at his school’s typical ‘‘do.’’ Ex-
amples, from the numerous, in-
clude:

Williams -- A sweet, but out-
doorsey young thing, a meticulously
man and two
dogs. She (you guessed it)is gazing
cheerfully into the eyes of an
Irish setter, really quite a good
looking dog.

Dartmouth -- You (and your can
of Schlitz) draped over a railroad
track, while , he, looking more
sadistic than’ masochistic, waves
a -bull- whip-over—your— helpless
form.

If the preliminary writeup and
captioned photographs don’t send
you running back to the-boy-back-
home-at-State-U,., the next section
of the critique, containing helpful
hints to the weekend commuter,
should do the trick. Typical en-
tries from this section, replete

-with examples, inexorably follow:

anyway???

And inevitably, THE BAITED

sleeping pill,’’ said cooly ... ‘Did
you feel THAT WAY too when you
read THE FALL?’ said knowingly.’’

All in all, les girls take us
through a panorama of LSD fields,

and downright animals, and Haver-
ford, by comparison, looks better

semester, Many people felt that
the. purpose of Freshman Comp,
to learn to write concise critical
papers, could be: accomplished
easily in one semester, and there-
fore that it was useless to extend
the ‘‘drudgery.’’ The second sem-
ester was often described as a
bothersome rehash of the tech-
niques which had been set on dur-
ing .first semester.

A strong minority of students,
however, seemed to feel that two
semesters were necessary. Some
felt that they needed two semesters
of writing practice, Others feared
the loss of a. six-week paper, too
much reading, less time for class
discussions, and not getting to know
as well one professor. But most
favored a liberalization of the ex-
emption policy.

Background often played an im-
portant role in the decision. Stu-
dents ranged FreshmanCompfrom
a boring repeat of what they had
done for four years in high school

(and surprisingly often said that,

Freshman Comp was not as good
.as their high school courses), to
an exciting. and new experience in
writing and in reading literature.
Whichever the case, however, a
large majority of students favored
a wider range of course choices
for. the second semester, with
usually more widespread ex-
emption for bored students to go
on to higher level courses. Others
saw in second semester a chance
for creative writing coursés, style
and method courses, or advanced
literature courses which -would
have more ‘‘cohesion’’ than
the Freshman Comp program.
Others felt that the second
semester with’ six-week papers
was unnecessary because they had
already ‘‘learned’’ to write long
papers for other courses the first
semester.
Students were almost evenly

Crew Of * Long

divided on. the question of turning
Freshman Comp into an Intro-
duction to Literature. Those
against it liked the variety of-
fered, wanted to study one per-
iod in slightly more detail, or had
already had such a course in high

school. Dissenters 'S pointed outthat~ a

if Freshman(Comp and English 101
were combined, English majors
would not have to wait through
‘two full year English courses be-
fore taking an advanced course.

As to the suggestion of replacing
classes with conferences, students
were on the whole against it. Most
girls felt that the opportunity to
share ideas and meet other fresh-
men was valuable; this view was
evenyupheld often in cases where
the student did not feel her class
discussion-or lack thereof -had
been worthwhile.

In general, those who felt that
Freshman Comp had been a-:re-
warding or anecessary experience
were unfortunately outweighed by
those who felt that Freshman Comp
had been rote, repeat, or unhelp-
ful. Some felt that the time ex-
pended for Freshman Comp was
not commensurate with the bene-
fits they gained from it. Many
listed the benefits they gained as,
**J learned to write a 500 word
comp in 20 minutes and raised
my typing speed’’ -- a technique
which, neverthless, is not .alto-
gether unuseful. A _ surprising
number also felt that their ability
to write had actually worsened
during the course. Several felt -
they were made to conform to

the teacher’s particular desired

style of writing.

As another recurring. theme
pleaded, ‘‘Let us stop pretending
that the course is necessary be-
cause students entering Bryn
Mawr do not know how to write
a paper.’’

Day's Journey ’

Makes Use of Two- - Story Sets

Work is | going forward on Col-
lege Theatre’s production of ‘*Long
Day’s Journey Into Night’’ sched-
uled for May 6 and 7,

This--week -particular-effort-is-
being devoted to the construction
of sets. The stage crew, according
to stage manager Janet Ohle, will
attempt a two-story arrangement
(with the upper story, however,
not one to’ be walked on), While
the technical difficulties of such
an undertaking are evidently great,
the’ decision to have the second
story was, says Janet, virtually
compelled by the need for a lamp
hanging from the ceiling of the first
floor room: one simply can’t have
a lamp hanging from a 14-foot
height!

As for the’ general nature of
the set, O’Neill’s elaborate spe-
cifications will not be followed
exactly. This would be neither
necessary nor practicable, for his
detailed directives represent his
memories of his home, and their
value is principally for one reading
the play rather than for those view-
ing a production. Besides, the size
of the Roberts stage (as well as
the financial aspect) is a limiting
factor. Only on a huge stage could
O’Neill’s directions be strictly
followed without a sense of clut-
tering.

Thus there will be a combination
of realistic detail and impression-
istic cut-aways. The first floor
room will be “low, solid, realis-
tic,’ with a doorway and stairs to
the second floor on stage right as
O'Neill specifies. Stage left, how-

ever, is to be more reese '

“istic,

While O’Neill’s exhaustive and
explicit directions for the set will
not be followed in their entirety,

the lengthy play is to be presented
complete and uncut, It is, however,

aS Lance Jackson suggests, so in-

“ tense that there will not be time

to look at the wall, It is an im-
portant, an intense play; Lance
anticipates that it will be one of
College Theatre’s better produc-
tions,

I did feel that the piece suf-

fered to a degree from a lack of
sufficient transition between the
individual sections. Thus, although
each individual segment seemed
complete in itself, I did not feel
that the dance in its entirety was
an integrated, unified whole. But
such criticism is of small sign-
ificance in view of the total im-
pact of the piece. The quality of
the dancing was on the whole ex-
cellent, but the performance of
Brad Bowers deserves special
praise. The use of live flute music,
playea beautifully by Nora Clear-

mediacy of the piece,

The final work of the concert,
‘Our Town,” was the finest of
Mrs, Mason’s pieces, This was the
most complete and polished work
of the concert. It was beautifully
staged, magnificantly costumed,
and had wonderful energy and var-
iety. The entrance of the mourners
and the wedding scene were eS-
pecially effective. Moreover, the

acterizes amateur modern dance,
Jessica Harris’ performance was

to be considerable handicaps,

which led unfortunately to a lack

Response to requests for books
has been excellent for the seventh
annual sale, and the collection of

books is thought to be bigger and :

better than ever. There are about
20,000 volumes of all types, and
the large number has made it

his rivals. The French quickly in-
dicated a desire to rid itself of the
responsibility for governing the
south. Therefore, the native gov-
ernments assumed the role of
successor government to the
French, who had signed the Geneva
accords, The United States opposed

the political ambitions of the guer-
rilla fighters who had quit the
Viet Minh in opposition to the
Communism of its leaders and sup-
ported persons who ‘‘had no ex-
perience of mass movements and
whose sole contribution to the Na-
tionalist cause was their insist-
ence, especially among foreigners,
that they were anti-French,’’

Bao Dai picked as his chief
minister Ngo Dinh Diem, head of
a family of Catholic emigrés from
the north. Diem had always been
outspokenly anti-French, although
he had taken no part in the Viet
Minh revolution, He had spent the
last few years of the war studying
in the United States. Upon assum-
ing office he announced anelection
between himself and Bao Dai. Al-
though Bao Dai opposed this vote
and dismissed Diem, the latter re-
mained in office and carried out
plans for the election. According
to a British diplomat, Donald Lan-
caster, the referendum ‘‘was con-
ducted with such a cynical disre-
gard for decency that even the
Viet Minh professed to be
shocked,’? The Viet Minh attacked
this election as a ‘farce and
swindle’? designed to ‘‘sabotage
the Geneva agreements.’”’ As a
result of this favorable vote, Diem
set up the Republic of Viet Nam
with himself as preSident, The fol-
lowing year, Diem held elections

for a National Assembly. Both the

Viet and all opposition parties in
the south urged a boycott of the
elections, claiming there had not
existed freedom of speech and
press during the campaign.

There was limited resistance in
the north to the Viet Minh, chiefly
consisting of peasants who ob-
jected to the agrarian policies of
the new regime. Although the com-
position of the Communist Party
of North Viet Nam was greatly
unrepresentative of the general
population, there apparently was
little opposition to this circum-
stance,

On the other hand, there was
great popular opposition to Diem
in the south. The government did
not exercise its authority in large
areas, probably constituting a
majority of the country’s are®
Internal political opposition to the
Diem government came from var-
ious sources; his government would
probably not have fallen had it not
been for the support Diem received
from the American government.

Starting in mid-1955, Diem re-
fused to agree to nation-wide elec-
tions in Viet Nam. He gave three
reasons. First, his government
was not bound by the Geneva agree-
ments since it had not signed
them, Second, the necessary con-
ditions for free elections did not
exist in the north. Third, he de-
manded that the north abandon
Communism before elections could
be held,

The authorities of the north made
numerous requests for elections to
be held, They asked Diem to re-
consider; they asked the co-chair-
men’of the Geneva Conference to
guarantee that the elections be held
and later asked them to reconvene
the conference to discuss the ques-
tion of elections; they asked the
French as a signatory to the agree-
ments to persuade Diem to hold
the elections. No diplomatic effort
was neglected by the north in their

-desire fo have" wattennise aleo-

tions,

Tic’ ices: aateind 0 te
were answered, First, the Viet
Minh claimed that Diem’s gov-



ernment was bound by the agree-
ments insofar as it was a suc-
cessor regime to the French; the
treaty was formally binding on
“*the signatories of the present
agreement and their successors.’’
Second, the north invited the In-
ternational Supervisory Commis-
sion to impose any conditions and
supervision to assure that the elec-
tions would be fair. Third, the
Viet Minh enuciated a broad pro-
gram to be implemented if they
won the election; this program
included a coalition government
even if the Viet Minh won an
absolute majority, and local auton-
omy to.each zone and to the ethnic
minorities which comprised 10%
of the total population,

The United States, in several’

statements, supported Diem’s
stand on elections. According to
Assistant Secretary of State Walter
S. Robertson, ‘‘we believe in free
elections and we support President
Diem fully in his position that,
if elections are to be held, there
must first be conditions which
preclude intimidation’ of coercion
of the electorate. Unless such con-
ditions exist, there can be no free
choice.’’

Indian Prime Minister Nehru

sharply attacked Diem’s stand: .

**The South Viet Nam Govern-
ment has not accepted the obliga-
tions arising from that Agreement
because it says it never signed it.
It is perfectly: true it did not sign
it. It was not an independent Gov-
ernment then. The French Gov-
ernment signed it and subsequently
the South Viet Nam Government
became the successor State to the
French Government. The South
Viet Nam Government gladly ac-
cepted all the advantages accruing
from the Geneva Agreement. It
only objects to the obligations.”’

ole

The favorable military position
at the time of the Geneva Con-
ference which was abandoned upon
agreement for a temporary par-
tition leading to national elections,
and the satisfaction with which the
accords were received by the Viet
Minh imply that the Viet Minh
expected to win the nation-wide
elections,

The political confusion in the
south and the great opposition to
Diem prevented Diem from estab-
lishing a strong and efficient gov-
ernment with control over the
entire southern zone. Under such
circumstances, no popular al-
ternative to the nationalist guer-
rilla forces of Ho Chi Minh arose
in the years following the Geneva
accords. The major cause of
Diem’s opposition to the elections
was that he thought he would lose.

In short, the Geneva agreements
were fundamentally violated by
the south, The compromises on de-
laying the elections and partition-
ing the country, which were made
by the Viet Minh in the expecta-
tion of elections to unite the coun-
try, actually led to the permanent
partition of the country. The north
made every attempt to bring about
the holding of elections, while the
south advanced several specious
arguments, against the elections.

The people the U.S, are fighting
in Viet Nam today will not nego-
tiate because they feel that the
Geneva agreements would have
settled the questions involved had
the American-supported Diem
regime not violated those accords,
There are other reasons, maybe
more important ones, why there
will not be negotiations in the near
future, but this article has in-
dicated one of the historical bars
to a settlement.

Dr. Ernst Berliner, Ph.D.,
Chairman of the Chemistry De-
partment here, represents a re-
markable phenomenon: a chemist
who had no chemistry in high
school, Born in Silesia, which was
then Germany and now Poland, he
attended a German gymnasium,
where he received a classical
education with some math and a
little physics. He began to study
chemistry because he ‘‘wanted to
know about it,’’ reading both li-
brary and purchased books. There

He took his first courses in
chemistry at the Universities of
Breslau and Freiburg, where he

did his undergraduate work, Dur-

ing the late 30’s, he received one
of ten refugee scholarships funded
by undergraduates at Harvard, and
came to the United States to com-

Mr. Berliner here as an organic
chemist,

From his time at Harvard, Mr.
Berliner began to specialize in
physical organic chemistry in the
area termed ‘‘aromatic chemis-
try.’’ The focus of his research
is on the mechanism of chemical
reactions. For distinguished re-
search, he was made a Guggen-
heim Memorial Fellow in 1961,

A year later he received nation-
al recognition for his abilities as
a teacher in the form ofthe College
Chemistry Teacher Award. This
award involves nomination by the
college president and support by
testimonials from students and
colleagues,

His current research is sup-
ported by both National Science
Foundation and college grants,

Stacks of stamped envelopes line
a shelf in his office, in response
to requests for reprints of his
most recent publication, ‘‘The

Current State of Positive Halo-
genating Agents,” in the Journal
of Chemical Education, .Mr, Ber-
liner also holds a five-year term
on the editorial board of the Jour-
nal of Organic Chemistry.

How does Mr. Berliner feel
about Bryn Mawr? The answer, it
seems, is just as favorable as
ever, for Mrs. Berliner was a
graduate student when they met,
and was his first Ph.D. student.
Mr.° Berliner: feels that chemistry
or other science requirements are
completely justified not only be-
cause they are ‘‘useful,’’ but also
as part of our “cultural” and
‘thumanist” heritage of intellec-
tual achievement, ~placing the
minds of the great scientists with
the minds of men like Bach and
Shakespeare. Mr. Berliner be-
lieves there is ‘‘one culture,’’
not two cultires, one of science
and one of liberal arts.

“He also believes that there is .

‘tno difference in a feminine (vs.
masculine) approach to science
because there is no difference
intellectually.’’
