Social Committee Faces

Revisions in Structure

The evident problems of the
Social Committee have led to a
proposed revision which was
brought up but not voted on at
Undergrad Monday. (There were
not enough people present.)

This revision would provide for
two co-chairmen of the commit-
tee, instead of the single chair-
man working now. Both of these
officers would be elected from
the Freshman Class, one in No-
vember and one in March. Each
one would serve a year, and the
two together at the beginning’ of
their sophomore year would serve
on the Freshman. Week Commit-

Revision Meeting
Treats Sign-Outs,
Self-Gov Function

The’ first meeting of the con-
stitutional revision committee took
place Wednesday night,

The committee decided to con-
tinue meeting on Wednesday nights,
The girls present then began to
throw out general questions about
the Constitution, They discussed
briefly the meaning of Self-Gov-
ernment and asked whether safety
rules and other unchangeable rules
should be under its jurisdiction,

The sign-out system was also
brought up, It was decided to
write away to various. schools
such as Radcliffe, Johns Hopkins
and Sarah Lawrence, for informa-
tion on their constitutional and
honor system,

After reaching some agreement
on the general function of Self-
Gov, the committee will divide
the Constitution into various sec-
tions for close study, Most of the
work should be finished by Christ-
mas, and presented to Self-Gov,

The revision committee oper-
ates independently from Self-Gov,
They will elect a chairman'‘and a
secretary at the next meeting,





tee. In this way there would be
an overlap -- there would always
be one girl in office who had had
some experience.

In addition, Margaret Edwards,
president of Undergrad, pointed
out that it is the freshmen ‘and
sophomores who are primarily
concerned with mixer -type activi-
ties and thus they should have
the major voice in the Social Com-
mittee. The publicity chairman
would be elected from the sopho-
more class to serve when she was
a junior. “

The Freshman Week Commit-
tee is to remain as before, com-

. posed of the social--.committee

chairman and one representative
from each dorm, and a non-res
representative.

Margaret also proposed an in-
crease in meetings in the dorm:
twice a year the dorm social com-
mittee rép would hold a meeting
to find out student opinion. The
committee now feels hamstrung
because it doesn’t really know
what girls want.

The budget of the Social Com-
mittee will be considered after the
constitutional revision. It is felt,
however, that the committee should
keep more accurate records of
what was done in the past to serve
as a budget control.

Finally, the Social Committee
needs a bigger bulletin board in
Taylor and would like to use some
of the space allotted to Interfaith.

Educational Goals Group Favors

Curriculum Committee and the
ad hoc Educational Goals Com-
mittee have combined for the pur-
pose of writing a report on Bryn
Mawr as an academic institution
and as a way of life.

Last Wednesday, they: heard re-
ports from six subcommittees they
had set up to deal with six dif-
ferent areas which need improve-
ment in the college. Mhey are now
beginning to refine these reports

and to seek student opinion on the -

views presented by them.

The. six areas are .com-
munications, academic organi-
zation,-advising and counseling,
physical facilities, relations with
the undergraduates and the gradu-
ates of Bryn Mawr and of other
institutions, and college organi-
zation. These were determined on
the basis of having been much dis-
cussed at the Educational Goals
series last month.

The college organization sub-
committee based its suggestions
on the second section in the two-
part article by D.E. Bresler in
the NEWS last month, He had said
that Bryn Mawr would do well to
adopt a tri-partite system of
government, with the faculty, ad-
ministration and students having
an equal say in most college de-
cisions.

The subcommittee went on to dis-
tinguish several areas in which
the students should have complete

control. These included decisions
on the nature-and number of meet-
ings, speakers, or social events
to be held in the dorms. This should
be entirely a matter of majority
vote within the dorm, they thought.

Finally, they asked that as a
general trend to simplify student
organizations, Undergrad should be
abolished. Their reasoning is that
financial matters:could be handled
by the Common Treasurer and an
ad hoc budget committee which
would éxist only as long as it
takes to write the budget.

The other activities of Under-
grad could be absorbed*by College
Council, informal meetings of the
heads of the Big Six, if necessary,
and the all-campus meeting sug-
gested by the communications sub-
committee. The publicity-giving

Collection, Abolition of Undergrad

value of Undergrad could be taken
care of by the NEWS, and by better
reporting to the dorms by the reps
to the Big Six.

The subcommittee on communi-
cations suggested two major re-
visions which, if instituted, would
greatly increase the amount of
communication among students,
faculty and administration at Bryn
Mawr. First they suggested that
one afternoon a week be left un-
scheduled. This idea of not having
classes one time during the week
is and has been working at other
girls’ schools. During this time,

they see a once-a-month all-—

campus meeting, which should be
required, possibly only at first.
This meeting would be for re-
ports from heads of faculty or

College Considers Establishing
‘Co-op’ Dormitory on Campus

Possibilities for setting up a
cooperative house for Bryn Mawr
students -- a house whose resi-
dents would share labor and ex-
penses for meals but would be
provided by the college with other
utilities -- will be explored if
interest in such a project is suf-
ficient, as several Merion resi-
dents found in discussing the idea

‘Winter’s Tale’ Set for Weekend
(‘Fishwife it, sweetie, fishwife it!’)

by Marcia Ringel

Halloween night, A round chalk
moon is scrawled on the slate
sky. A more appropriate moon,
orange, sits in the pale green
backdrop of ‘‘The Winter’s Tale,”
to be performed here this week-
end by the BMC-Haverford

8:30 P.M. in Goodhart this weekend.

Drama Club,

As pumpkin carollers outside
sing of the Pumpkin Generation,
a small smiling pumpkin on Good-
hart’s piano observes’ what
goes on, There is blond, 11-year-
old Tertius Berwyn, son of a
former Bryn Mawr professor,
playing Mamilius with calm com-
petence, There is Mr, Butman,
running up and down the aisles,

» muttering expressions of varying

madness, There is Bob Sinclair,
wearing a red stocking cap,

‘*Fishwife it, sweetie, fishwife
it??? booms Mr, Butman to Nimet
Habachy, who alternately delivers
a haranhgue to royalty and coos
sleepy sounds to the bunch of
rags that is a stage baby. The
bunch, remarkably, sleeps on, de-
spite that din ‘‘which presses
him from sleep,??

But it is a colorful din. Someone
who happened to mention Chagall
to Mr, Butman inspired this pro-
duction’s motif, a ‘‘feeling of

earthiness and _ spirituality
merged’’ that works of Shake-
speare and Chagall share,
Ben Jonson, Mr, Butman has

pointed out, criticized Shakespeare
for having set a seacoast in Bohe-
mia, which has none; but the
setting of ‘‘The Winter’s Tale?’
is, Mr, Butman rebutted, a land
that jumps your imagination into
a reality outside of geography and
history,

Tuesday. Ladies are bright in
costumes, green, lavender, blue,
The moon is still orange, unless '
it?s the sun, The sky changes
color, Sometimes it is red, Curvy

. silhouettes lean against seats on

the aisles, as six dancers’ plié,
limbering up. The cast concludes
Act V (‘‘hastily lead away!’’) and
is informed by its“director that
even now, this production cannot
be a failure, And he is right to
be optimistic,

Alice Leib, choreographer,
trooper, rehearses her band -of
shepherdesses to quick light airy
music, Mr, Butman pleads for
earthy elbow movements, Finally
they are almost right, Alice is
not satisfied. Shepherdesses are
in for many runthroughs, Alice
Leib is never resigned,

More than a dozen Haverford
satyrs bound and leap through
Goodhart, They too are rehearsing.
‘‘All satyrs in the back, please,”
requests Alice, ‘‘The satyrs can
wait,’’ vetoes Mr, Butman, Royalty

Mrs, Marshall has pointed out
difficulties in setting up a co-
op house which stem primarily
from the lack of a suitable build-
ing, One of the smaller halls, she
said, would still be too large, and
most off-campus houses belong-
ing to the college (other than the
language houses) are part of the
faculty-housing pool: Tybach, for
example, which is being used to
house freshmen this year, was
borrowed from the pool as an
emergency measure only,

Co-op houses at other colleges,
she said, are generally subsidized
as part of those colleges’ financial
aid programs, and space in them
is awarded according to much the
same criteria as scholarships,
Mrs, Marshall said that if sucha

house were established at Bryn -

Mawr it would be filled on a sign-
up and financial-need basis, and
thatp the project will be referred
to the faculty Committee on Hous-
ing for selection of a suitable
building if one becomes available,

A co-op house once was set up
at Bryn Mawr when overcrowding
demanded it and a faculty house
was available.

Storming the Towers

A month ago we wouldn’t have hesitated to predict that the Educational
Goals enthusiasm would last for one brief shining moment -- that all
the gripes and proposals would disappear harmoniously into the over-
whelming Bryn Mawr status quo, But observe this week’s front page
story, and rejoice that the Educational Goals Committee isn’t about
to lose the name of action, ¥

.Granted some of the proposals sound beyond the realm of possibility,
both in respect to finances and the present power structures, A new
student union, abolition of Undergrad, mandatory monthly collection,
student labor unions ,.,. these suggestions aren’t in the category of a
student calendar committee, But the Goals Committee is perfectly
aware of its idealistic tendencies; the purpose of the proposals, in
fact, was to make suggestions REGARDLESS of their current practicality,
And since the Educational Goals atmosphere is calling for more flexi-
bility, it is safe enough to suppose that these proposals, derived from
what the seminar audiences seemed to want, may soon be the serious
objectives of working committees,

We have heard the complaint that the Educational Goals Committee
is getting out of hand, is assuming more power than a subcommittee
of one of the Big Six organizations warrants, But we feel that this
imaginative committee should be allowed as muchfree rein as possible,
influential gadfly that it is, To curtail the activities of the committee --
which now consist mainly of offering evaluations and proposals. to fhe
campus -- night be to stifle one of few springs of community creativity
at Bryn Mawr,

We look forward to the Educational GoalsCommittee reports as a
source of genuine movement on this campus,

The Wages of Saga...

Saga’s attempt to use as many student waitresses as possible
without jeopardizing the jobs of the maids is a worthwhile one, but
to do so,- the food service will have to realize that the combination
of time. and wages involved are not especially appealing to the job-
seekers on campus, A Saga official notes that about 40% of the girls
in Erdman waitress, but in the older dorms, where the figures are
hardly that high, there is also a lesser degree of efficiency in the
kitchens, so,that the job is painfully more time-consuming, For ex-
ample, the waitress in Rhoads waits for her own dishes to go through
the washer and then resets the tables at her station, while the Erdman
waitress dumps her dirty dishes in the kitchen and resets her table
immediately with a second set of dishes, Both are paid $1.50 per meal.

Student waitresses received $1.50 per meal last year, too, but in
its efforts to please, Saga has created more work for the same wages,
Waitresses must make extra trips to the kitchen for ice cream, or put
out placemats, and such details, trivial though they sound, add many
extra minutes to the task,

Waitressing a meal should take no longer than an hour and a quar-
ter, says Saga. In Erdman, perhaps so, But elsewhere the job stretches
well beyond this limit, even up to two hours, depending on how long one
has to wait in line for the dishwasher or how many times one has to
make an ice cream run, The girl involved rdly walk out when
her hour and a quarter is up, because the kitchen systems in many
cases are chaotic enough, All they need is a student waitress strike,

We suggest. that Saga completely review its wage scale, Since some
older dorms, which had student waitresses in past years, have lost
many regulars to Erdman, it might be wise to increase the wages else-
where so that the pay matches the effort demanded, Or perhaps the
student should be paid overtime if she works over the hour anda

“quarter,

A primary reason for wanting more student waitresses is that the
regular help is accustomed to a certain pattern of waitressing that
they are not likely to change, It would be much faster, for example,
if waitresses in the older dorms coulddeposit their dishes to be washed
‘and leave, then have the waitresses for the next meal set up the tables,
" But no, it is tradition or something that everyone wait in line to use
the dishwasher,

. If there were all stude oes the system would be easier
to change, and the wages’ would be proportionate to the time, But if
the wages are not hiked in the meantime--until enough students are
attracted to the job--the plans for an all-student waitressing system
are hopeless,

Letters to the Editor

Button, Button

To the Editor:

There seems to be a massive
amount of confusion on campus in
regards ta a mimeographed sheet
selling buttons by an organization
called the Subterranean Organi-
zation of Buttons. based in Haver-
ford’s Barclay Hall.

I suppose I could be considered
a kind of business partner in the
organization, and for that reason
my name is on the sheet. Through
rather indirect means, Mrs. Mar-
shall, Dean of the College, acquired
a copy and found the list ‘‘obscene’?
and ‘‘pornographic.’’ She called me
into her office Tuesday morning.

Her first reaction was that my
name had been put on the sheet
unbeknownst to me by some
malicious Haverford boy. When it
became obvious that I was involved
of my own free will, the word
‘discredit’? began to hang heavy
in the air. I should be more care-
ful about what I allowed my name
to get mixed up in. And since
some copies had gotten off cam-
pus, there was the question of the
honor of not only myself, but of
the entire college.

I have two points to make clear.
One, I don’t consider my honor
tarnished in the slightest. Just
because my name is on the sheet
does NOT imply that I agree with,
sanction, or even understand the
Slogans on the buttons. To say
that it does imply that is the same
as saying that just because Mer-
ion Hall subscribes to ‘‘ Playboy’?
it means that all 60 girls believe
in Hefner’s philosophy of life.

Secondly, if there is any ques-
tion at all of discredit, I don’t
think it is the administration’s pre-
rogative to bring it up. Bryn Mawr
is run with an Honor System, in-
cluding a Discredit Clause, which
is supposed to be governed by the

Food Service Hopes to
All-Student Waitressing System

Not only do the Saga men want to

Student waitressing, according
Bill Martin, head of the food ser
ice, has always been favored
by the college; understandably
enough, the administration would
like to provide jobs and financial
aid for as many girls as possible,
In general, Saga also prefers
student waitresses: the food serv-

people as possible into the 77

ice managers would like to
know the girls better, from a
professional point of view-.-
to serve them better--and also as
friends, Possibly prompted by the
results of the survey last week,
Mr, Martin added only half
facetiously that ‘‘if the kids are
involved and they know we’re
trying, they’re less likely to com-

In addition, he felt that girls

More NEWS

To the Editor:

One item of cooperation between
Haverford and BMC is the system Ps
which now exists providing for
the distribution of each college’s
newspapers to the other campus,
Unfortunately (some would say),
the ‘‘balance of papers’’ is some-
what unbalanced -- the Haver-
ford News provides 600 copies
per issue to BMC, where BMC
reciprocates with only 100, Ex-
planations concerning the gener-
osity of the Haverford News,
the reading ability of Haverford
students, or the quality of one
newspaper vs, the other are in-
teresting but peripheral to my
point here,

What I am proposing, then, is
that THE COLLEGE NEWS begin
to distribute a more equitable
number of papers at Haverford,
For one reason or another, there
seems to be enough of a demand

-at Haverford to justify this in-



crease,

specials, like ice cream as an
alternative or additional dessert,
would have less compunction about
asking another student, He noted
that he buys twice as much ice
cream for student-waitressed
Erdman than he does _ for
Pembroke, which is the same size
with mixed waitresses,

Saga is now actively trying to
enlist student waitresses all over
campus, Some dorms, like Erd¢
man, now have exclusively
student waitresses (40% of the
Erdman girls waitress), while
others, like Pembroke, are moving
in the direction, As yét there has
been little change in Rhoads, Mr,
Martin emphasized that a switch
to students would in no way en-
danger the positions of the maids,

On the lighter side, he declared
that student waitressing should be
fun, ‘‘There should be smiling in
the kitchen,” Mr. Martin said
beatifically. The waitresses’
table might have a little better
food, maybe something special that
the other tables don’t get, also the
privilege of having if they wanted
some of the leftovers from the
previous meal (chicken, dessert,
etc,),

Perhaps even more important,
Mr, Martin felt that waitressing
could and should be arranged so
as to take a maximum of an
hour and’a quarter, which is what
it takes now in Erdman, Thus
the wage, $1.50 a meal, which
Mr, Martin freely admitted was
too low for two hours of hard
work, would become quite reason-
able, The food service does
not plan to raise the rate but
if with ‘student waitresses a meal
takes longer than the specified
hour and a quarter, the students
have every right to complain and
Mr, Martin pledges to remedy
the situation,

Film-makers ‘Kathy Davis,

The Bryn Mawr-Haverford
movie-making group made itsfirst
film, a two-minute advertisement
for Haverford’s yearbook, the
Record, and if production runs
according to schedule it will have
its premiere next Tuesday at the
BMC Arts Council movie series,

Filming was finished on Sunday,
and editing and splicing done early
this week, Dana Rosen, director of
the film, said that the group was
pleased with its ratio of film shot
to film which actually will be used:
of 200 feet (two rolls) of film,
only. about half will wind up on the
cutting-room floor,

As for the content of the film,
Dana said that it includes a ‘‘fan-
tastic sequénce’’ featuring Ariel
Kosman, Professor of Philosophy
at Haverford, After the sequence
was shot Sunday, he invited the
director and camera crew home,
where a birthday party for his
son, Joshua, was in progress,
The movie-makers naturally took
advantage of the opportunity to
film Joshua, now seven years old,
and his guests, many of them
children of faculty members, all
reading the Record,

Although the movie thus has a
fairly sizable cast, the production
staff was quite small, and the
budget definitely low, The camera
was actually operated by Miss
Ann Kish of the Arts Forum,
adviser of the film group, but

Testifies Before Pa. Legislature

by Kit Bakke

As a member of Pennsylvania’s
State Board of Education, Miss Mc-
Bride was asked to be in charge
of a subcommittee which was
ordered by. the 1963 Legislature
to submit a Master Plan forHigher
Education in Pennsylvania,

After contracting with four out-
side investigating groups, includ-
ing the Academy for Educational
Development of New York and Den-
ver, the group published a pro-
gress report last July. Since then,
the committee and the report have
been ‘‘roundly criticized by private
and public colleges alike.?’

Wednesday, October 19, Miss
McBride was asked to testify be-
fore the House Higher Education
Committee. Rep. James Gallagher;*
Demo-Bucks County, is a chair-
man of this committee. He first
intended to subpeona Miss Mc-
Bride, but then changed it to an
*¢invitation to appear.’?

Miss McBride said that: there
port is being criticized not only
for its contents, but also for the
method the subcommittee used in
writing it. Dr. Eric Walker, Presi-
dent of Pennsylvania State Uni-
versity, claims that the report
was formulated too quickly, with-
our proper time for full investi-
gation. He also thinks itwas amis-
take to turn over the investigation
to outside groups. ‘‘When the job
was turned over to outside experts,
they immediately tried to draw
parallels between Pennsylvania’s
problems and the problems of Ohio,
California, New York and Mis-
souri.’?? He’ apparently sees none
of the parallels himself.

Walker has gone onto listfurther
objections to the present report:
it does not cover graduate ed-
ucation; it does not give proper
consideration to the state’s pri-
vate colleges, anditassumes every
student should go to college in his
own geographical area,

Pennsylvania newspapers have
been giving excellent coverage to
the Critics of the report, but ac-
cording to Miss McBride, have
neglected to mention not only that
many people are satisfied with it,
but that part of the Master Plan
is already in effect.

She points to the expanding com-
munity college program, the
commonwealth system of higher
education (which includes com-
munity colleges, state colleges and

Mrs. Hanson’s Manet Exhibit

The opening of the exhibition marks
the end of several months of in-

fessor Anne Coffin Hanson of Bryn

who wrote the catalog for the show.

Only two other Manet shows have
ever been larger than this one:

watercolors, pastels, drawings and

75 lenders, including private col-
lectors, museums from Baltimore
to Melbourne, and five colleges and
universities including Bryn Mawr.

Bryn Mawr has donated two etch-

of Felix Braquemond from the
frontispiece of a book. Carole

the three _ state-related institu-
tions), and the scholarship pro-
gram (which is now $17 million
a year, $20,000 of which is used
by students at Bryn Mawr) as
areas Where the Master Plan is
already being implemented.

Miss McBride explained all
this to the Legislature last week.
She stated that one can never ex-
pect to get a Master Plan with-
out a lot of controversy, because
every institution has its own in-
terests, and is going to want all
the best for itself,

Besides the criticism that the
subcommittee did not work long
enough on the proposal (acriticism
which Miss McBride rejects as
ridiculous), the other point of con-
cern is the amount of aid being
proposed to private colleges over
public universities.

The Master Plan. states, ‘‘The
Commonwealth will have to in-
vest a sizable portion of its wealth
in higher education. It can obviously
make a significant investment in
only a limited number of institu-
tions, and it should, therefore, in-
vest its money principally in those
institutions ‘which are committed
to the general public interest and
are subject to the controls which
are necessary for astate system.’’

According to a September 18
‘¢Bulletin” editorial, the Phila-
delphia Commission on. Higher
Education has condemned this
policy and has called it ‘shabby,
treatment?’ for the private col-
leges. The ‘Bulletin’? however,
agreed with the Master Plan, and
pointed out that the virtue of pri-
vate colleges is that they ARE
private and independent, and can

Administration

do whatever they want with the
money they can raise. The genera:
assumption seems to be that state
money would imply state control,
and this is the way it has always»
worked in the past,

The Master Plan does not, how-
ever, entirely ignore private
institutions. It suggests one-third
subsidies for doctoral candidates,
state construction grants, scholar-
ships and, fellowships for pros-
pective college teachers,

Some of the differences over the
Master Plan seem to fall along,
. party lines, with the Democrats
being: more critical and the Re-
publicans being more favorable to
it, Democratic gubernatorial
candidate Milton Shapp accused it
of not going far enough to meet
future needs, and of being adopted
too hastily. Governor Scranton and
the. Republican gubernatorial
candidate Raymond Shafer, on the
other hand, have endorsed the plan,
It_is_scheduled to.come up before

To Review Readmissions Policy

Miss Vermey intends to request
Curriculum Committee to submit
a ‘study committee’’ to suggest
and evaluate the various criteria,
for readmission to the college,

In a recent issue of the NEWS,
Miss Vermey and Mrs, Marshall
stated that the basic requirements
for readmission are a high level
of academic work in the indepen-

Considering such responses as
this one, Miss Vermey pointed out
that the criteria for readmission
are ‘‘nof&\§an irrevocable policy’?
and ‘‘open to discussion,’? She
has already written to other Seven

Colgate Operates
Calendar System

Under 4-1-4 Plan

One of the most intriguing as-
pects of calendar revision is the
so-called January plan, This has
been alternatively called the Col-
gate or Glickman plan, the
former because Colgate has
adopted it, and the latter because
Mr, Glickman of the Haverford
Political Science Department of-
fered his conception of it
to Bryn Mawr and Haverford stu-
dents twf years ago.

The purpose of a January plan
is to introduce some intellectual
freedom, life and creativity into
the usually dead month of Jan-
dary, This..is done. by. fin-
ishing first semester before

- Christmas vacation, and then not

starting second semester until
February.

Paul Weckstein, a Haverford
transfer from Colgate, has pro-
posed this calendar:

Classes begin: Sept, 12

Thanksgiving: Nov, 23-7

Christmas: Dec, 28 - Jan, 3
Intercession: Jan, 28 - Feb, 1
Spring vacation: March 24 -

April 12

Exams end: May 13 ~
This not only allows for the Jan-
uary plan, but also provides
for practically the same number
of schooldays,

The creativity and freedom
comes with independent work of
some kind, There are several
systems that could be adopted,
but basically it would entail each
student working with a professor
on a project or papar of his
choice,

by Janet Oppenheim

On Monday night, October 31, a small number of
Bryn Mawr. students. and faculty members heard
two alarming predictions: that within ten years
members of the clergy would be abandoning their
calling in droves, and that the racial inequities
of our society could only be solved by machine
guns and concentration camps for Negroes.

The grim, realistic speaker was the Reverend
Layton Zimmer, and his address, entitled ‘‘God
Bless Slums and Police Brutality,’ was sponsored
by the Alliance for Political Affairs and the Inter-
faith Association.

Behind his lengthy title of ‘‘Urban Missioner of
the Protestant Episcopal Church and Special Con-
sultant to the Bishop on Areas of Social Tension’’
lies the Reverend’s demanding, frustrating, im-
possible job. Dealing with ‘gangs, junkies, pros-
titutes,’? the poor and discriminated against of
North and South Philadelphia, Mr. Zimmer must
try to arouse the white community, must attempt

to open communications between haves and have-

nots, between whites and blacks.

So far, he feels he has accumplished nothing.

He describes his task as a ‘‘bridge-building job
with both shores moving further apart.’’ To his
despair, both shores are building obstructions
agains< any means of spanning the gap.
* Reverend Zimmer was a parish priest for ten
years in Wilmington, Delaware, and then inSwarth-
more before starting his job two years ago under
the new bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Penn-
sylvania. His job, which he terms ‘‘experimental,”’
brings him into the lives of have-nots as. friend
and sympathizer.

He participates as a protester in picket lines
and serves as a minister for many who have had
no contacts with the church. He must bury a
child, killed by the falling ceiling of a slum tene-
ment. He must perform the marriage ceremony
for the unwed parents of four or five children.
He can bring no promises or program money with
him. Less than 50% of his expenses are paid by
the diocese. His job runs on money from the bis-
hop’s discretionary funds.

White power is, according to the Reverend,
the dominant factor in the western world, if not
in the whole world, behind racial injustice. He
knows it is the factor which allowed him to reach
his present position. Mr. Zimmer attended the
University of William and Mary when it was closed
to Negroes and then entered an Episcopal Seminary
which had separate and terribly unequal facilities
for them. When he left his position of curate in
Wilmington, a Negro was allowed to replace him
only with the unequivocal stipulation that his term
of office last just one year. Clearly, the Church
does not offer a solution to the problems of dis-
crimination and prejudice.

This failure by the Church brought Mr. Zimmer
to his prophecy for the fate of clergymen. Today,
he finds them-a group of ‘‘defensive, demoralized,
hostile, morally stricken’? men. They are com-
mitted to an ideal which has not, in the words of
Stokely Carmichael, ‘‘been able to deal with the
blasphemy that the poor deserve what they get.’’

Yet to break from the meaningless ideals would
mean to break from security, respectability. Cler-
gymen hear their WASP congregations object to
spending tax money on slum improvement. Opposi-
tion to the community stand would mean loss of
popularity for the clergyman, and loss of any com-
munity influence. Many members of the clergy

,really fear that God is dead, but are compelled

to use His name daily. They abhor the ambiva-
lence of their position, are frightened by the col-

such as the relationship between
civil rights and treatment of ju-
venile offenders, the way the
test for insanity works out in
practice, and generally the way
the law enforcement business has
reacted to the Court’s decisions,

The first half of the class will
return in three weeks to give oral
and written reports of -their
findings, Meanwhile the second
half. of the class’will have been
learning about the definitions and
compliéations of free speech in
American jurisprudence, After a
few joint sessions, the second
half will go into the field to re-
search the ways in_ which
Court decisions on free speech
have affected Philadelphia law en-
They will

center on criminal libel, ob-
scenity and the right of

This will solve the problem

rach, ‘‘and by then the sem-

ester is almost over anyway.” ‘Friday. :

lapse of their supports, and will, in Mr. Zim-
mer’s belief, reach the breaking point within
the next ten years.

We cannot count on the Church, then, for re-
lease from our tremendous problems. Nor does
Mr. Zimmer think the answer lies in political
structures. He emphasized that the bridgebuild-
ing must start with us, At the same time, however,
the basic problem originates in ourselves. Most of
us want to keep doors shut to black people, the
Reverend said. The black man knows how much the
white man despises him, and the white man does not.
We do not realize that we are involved in an attitude
that allows us to be something which we would
vehemently deny to be.

Mr. Zimmer is convinced that civil rights bills
are passed, projects are undertaken, not out of the
whites’ fear of black riots. After all, as President
Jéhnson said, whites form 90% of the population
of the United States. No programs of social re-
form are undertaken in order to keep the white
man from coming face to face with his own atti-
tude.

Is there any validity, therefore, in projects
and programs? Reverend Zimmer says emphati-
cally no. Perhaps they bring some limited material
profit, but that profit ends with the program, when
the participants go back to their hell, What is
worse, the participants have been allowed to see,
no matter how briefly, some aspect of that life
which they will never be able to attain. The result-
ing bitterness and frustration has led many Negroes
to accept help only from blacks. They feel cer-
tain that whites give gifts only to manipulate the
blacks in some way.

The meaning of Black Power lies in this rejec-
tion of the white man’s aid. For the average Negro,
hope for life in an integrated community is dead,
They don’t want to waste their time in hating and
fighting the whites. They want to take what is their
due and just leave. Mr. Zimmer is not afraid that
the Negro will topple white society, but he is
desperately afraid that the Negro will give that
society the opportunity to use the evil within it,

It is this evil that could lead to the construc-
tion of concentration camps for Negroes.and the
placement of machine guns in the streets by police
forces. The Reverend believes that we are little
more than one breath away from that state now.

Is there any hope at all for future integration;
for a harmonious, balanced black-white society?
If separation of the two peoples is not only sin,
but death, as Mr. Zimmer believes it to be,
aren’t we faced with sin and death on both sides?
Why, if he feels. that the Church is useless in the,
struggle, does the Reverend continue to serve it?
How can he say, ‘‘If I only hoped in man, I would »
go home and kill myself,’’ and still maintain his:
efforts? ‘

He answers that he enjoys the battle, that he
enjoys challenging the terrifying situation with his
own abilities. He must do what he can, and he
did when he removed his daughter from a private
school because he considered private education a
separating factor in society. His daughter now at-
tends a public school with 90% Negro students.

Not just isolated individuals, but everyone must
do what lies within his abilities. Above all, we
must not sit at home and merely worry over the
state of affairs. Whatever hope can be found in
the Reverend’s message, and there was precious
little, must be found in his refusal to accept the
situation as it now stands, and in his search to
open channels of contact in an almost totally. un-
communicating society.

Faculty Members Offer Opinions



by Kathy Murphey
Alliance recently proposed that
a voting student member or several
members be admitted to the faculty
Calendar Committee. In a series
of interviews, the faculty response
to this proposal was varied.

Mr, Dudden, a History pro-
fessor, and one of the two faculty
members on the Calendar Com-
mittee, claimed that the issue of
student. representation involves
more’ than the calendar, He felt
the whole question of a student
share in the government of college
affairs should be considered,

Mr, Dudden said he would be
in favor of a movement in the
direction of more student partici-
pation in the college community,
Students. have good ideas now from
which the faculty doesn’t benefit,
Many of these ideas could be used
in solving practical problems,

Mr, Dudden hoped that graduate
students as well asallfour classes
of undergraduates would join stu-
dent committees which would take
positions “on college policy, Thus
a broad and continuous base for,
student interest in college affairs
could be created,

Mr. Berliner, a chemistry pro-
fessor and a member of the
Calendar: Committee, thought that
the calendar is a college and a
faculty affair. It involves issues
like financial matters, research
time, and cooperation with Haver-
ford which are not student con-
cerns.

Mr. Berliner said he was will-
ing to listen to student opinion.
Yet he felt there was no coherent
opinion on issues such as the ‘‘lanie
duck’? period. He thought that there
was no ideal calendar which would
satisfy everyone.

Mr. Berliner was opposed to
having a voting student member on
the Caiendar : Committee, He did
not approve of anon-voting, listen-
ing representative either. He
felt the faculty committee might
meet occasionally with a separate
committee of students to hear their
opinions.

Miss de Graaf of the Russian
Department felt students should be
represented on the committee,
since they are as concerned with
the calendar as the faculty. Stu-
dents on the committee would have
a chance to make their views known.
However, Miss de Graaf felt that
the faculty should have veto power
over the decisions of the com-
mittee, while the student body
should not, The calendar affects
the amount of time faculty can spend
on research during the summer and
has a direct influence on their job
during the year.

Miss Lang of the Greek Depart-
ment thought that student repre-
sentation on the Calendar Com-
mittee was a good idea. She said
the calendar is something with
which the whole Bryn Mawr com--
munity has to live. The stu-
dents and the faculty often
have opposite views on the cal-
endar, and each ought to know
theother’s .position. The faculty
wants a short year with long sum-
mer vacations. The students like
to spread out the year with more
review periods and longer va-
cations.

Miss Lang did not support stu-
dent help in making promotions
and appointments, since students
do not- have the necessary back-
ground for such a responsibility.
Yet she felt that student parti-
cipation on the Calendar Commit-
tee makes sense and provides a
healthy opportunity for cooperation

On Student Calendar Committee

between Bryn Mawr faculty and
students.

Mrs, Ridgway, chairman of the
Archaeology Department, pointed
out that there has been much
disagreement about the calendar
in faculty meetings. She guessed
that the same disagreement exists
in the student body, and that it
would be hard to find a student
to represent campus opinion.

However, she felt that if stu-
dents were involved in decision-
making on the Calendar Com-
mittee, they would feel bound by
the cal2ndar, If the students help-
ed to set up a reading period
during the month of January, they
would appreciate and make use of
it.

Students on the faculty commit-
tee might also bring up new ideas.
For example, some students at one
time sent around a petition pro-
posing that Thanksgiving vacation
begin at 12:15 p.m. on Wednesday
instead of after the last afternoon

“class. This point was never pick-

ed up, but if students had been on
the Calenda: Committee, it might
have been discussed.

If students were members of the
committee they might realize the
problems the faculty faces in plan-
ning the academic year. They might
see that faculty decisions are not
just arbitrary.

Mrs, Ridgway concluded that the
more responsibility students re-
ceive the. better, as long as they
can handle it.

The performing group is the
American String Quartet, a re-
cently established ensemble of ex-
perienced artists, Although their
first appearance as a quartet took
place only last summer at the
Friends of Caramoor Festival. in
Katonal, New York, they generated
such enthusiasm there that reser-
vations for their next year’s
performance at the festival are
already being made,

The pieces to be played at the
concert here are Schubert’s Quar-
tet in A minor, Hugo Wolf’s
Seranade, and Bartok’s ‘Quartet
No, 2.

Max Hollander will play first .

violin, Peter Dimitriades, second

The interesting feature of the
Bryn.Mawr. Concert series is that
eachiartist or group of performers
will hold an informal open ‘‘work-
shop”? in the afternoon hours
preceding the actual concert,
According to the artist’s discre-
tion, the content of the work-
shop will vary, but samples
of style, technique, and examples
of the music to be presented can
@enerally be anticipated, The
String Quartet’s workshop will be
held at 4:10 in the music room at
Goodhart,

- Douglas Describes Court’s Role
In a Democratic United States

by Kit Bakke

Mr. Justice William O, Douglas
was the second speaker in the
University of Pennsylvania’s
CONNAISSANCE series. last Fri-
day in Irvine Auditorium,

Douglas was presented: to the
audience, consisting primarily of
eager young law students, as a
champion of American free speech,

His topic was ‘‘A History of
the Supreme Court in the United
States,’’ The result was a rather
unconnected description of some
exciting decisions, plus some per-
sonal reminiscences, and a
few statistics about the work load
of the Court,

Douglas pointed out that the
Constitution is an eighteenth-cen-
tury product, containing no
guidelines about some of today’s
most pressing problems--bu-
reaucracy, technology and nu-
clear ™ power, Today government
is asked to do more and more for
each citizen; but when the Con-
stitution_-was-—-written the—point
was to ‘‘get government off the
backs of the people.’’

Since then, Douglas sees four
main periods in constitutional his-
tory. For the first 30 ofr
40 years the Court was concerned
with interstate commerce and de-
fining federalism, Then the
slavery issue was paramount, In
the 1880’s there was a whole
series of cases dealing with social
legislation, The Court struck down
hours laws, child labor laws, and
minimum wage laws, all in the
name of private property. Douglas
said this created in the United
States a real Karl Marx
kind of capitalism. This was the
era of the great Holmes dissents,

We are now in the fourth period,
This is the age of civil rights, by
which he means not only racial
situations, but also criminal

rights, the rights of religious min-
orities, and the right of
each voter to have his vote equal
tq everyone else’s vote, Douglas
sees the Court as trying to halt
the present trend of increasing
governmental strength at the ex-
pense of the individual citizen,

He then described an issue dur-
ing the Eisenhower adminis-
tration when a mere charge
of subversion, without substantia-
tion, was grounds for dismissal
from a government job. In one
case, a man was fired for being
caught reading the ‘*‘New Re-
public,’’

Although he admits things aren’t
this bad today, he does think there
is a serious problem of govern-
ment advisors who are afraid
to speak the truth regarding ex-
isting U.S. policies, because
they think they. may lose their
jobs,

Supreme Court advocates are
usually somewhat defensive about
the-existence of an appointed elite

wielding such ‘great power in a

democratic society, True to form,
Douglas kept reiterating that the
people, not the Court, have the
real final say. He gave the in-

come tax and the enfran-
chisement of women as ex-
amples, Both these were issues

in which Constitutional amend-
ments were made, overruling
Supreme Court decisions,

In the discussion session, many
of the questions were directed
toward the legality of the Vietnam
war, since it is being carried on
without explicit Congressional
approval in the form of a dec-
laration of war, Douglas re-
frained from answering these,
because he said he didn’t want
to have to disqualify himself when
an actual case on this matter
came to the Court’s- attention.

and white reproductions of most
of the works in the show; it ar-
ranges the works chronologically
with histories and bibliographical
references, and commentary on
style, subject matter, and events
in Manet’s life pertinent to each
work.

‘One of the virtues of the show,’?
Mrs. Hanson says, is the variety
of types of works included. She
urges visitors to look atthe ‘‘more
intimate works of art,’ the small

prints and drawings, many ofthem
seldom exhibited. The prints make
up a nearly complete collection
and represent the fruits of Mrs.
Hanson’s search for them all over
the country last fall.

‘The exhibition opened Novem-
ber 3 (with a gala opening at which
Lynda Bird Johnson appeared) and
will continue in Philadelphia until
December 11. Admission to the
Museum is $.50 (except on Mon-
days), and admission to the show
is anadditional $.50.

There may be a Faculty Show
this year, According to Miss Lang,
many professors are interested in
participating, and the show will;
probably consist of bits andpieces’
rather than an involved plot, be-
cause of the difficulty in
coordinating individual schedules
to a rehearsal time,

Faculty Show will probably take
place in March, hopefully the week-
end of the eighteenth, It will
be impossible to arrange it for an
earlier date, because all the col-
lege theater and dance groups,

specific dates and require exten-

The committee especially would
like. to see course choices made
on a basis of rationality and not
wild guessing. This impells stu-
dents’ knowing what each course
entails more accurately and ex-
plicitly than the catalog’s details
now provide. They would like for
each professor to write briefly
what his course consists of -- a
tentative reading list if possible,
the number of exams and papers,
etc. Then they want the entire
catalog to be rewritten.

and- peasants, at ease, lick
lollipops, Al Brown, who plays
a bear, confides, still wearing
his furry hide: ‘‘I’m a method actor
myself, so every night before I
come to rehearsal I just sort of
roll around on my bed and tear
up my roommate,’’

Mr, Butman clarifies his views
on the production, ‘tWe’re cer-
tainly not interpreting Shak-
speare by Chagall. It’s simply
that the idea of Chagall, which came
up quite by chance, gave us a
clue to costume and color, which
is always useful in holding a pro-
duction together, The most
interesting problem, intellectually
and emotionally, is the excitement
of discovering what is going on
in late Shakespeare. This is a
work of his most mature years
and in talking to the students
about it I liken it to the late
Beethoven quartets, late Rem-
brandt sketches, and the last
work of El Greco, Here we have a
chance to discover subtleties so
subtle that even at third reading
they pass unobserved, But after
working with them on the stage
we find suddenly that a line of
utter simplicity, completely with-
out poetic adornment, comes
through with a power and an hon-
esty beyond Shakespeare’s ear-
lier, more poetic lines,

‘*] talk about many of the
speeches as being ‘slabs of emo-
tion’; it is not really necessary
for the audience to hear the words
or understand the thoughts of the
particular speech--as it is in,
say, ‘‘Hamlet’’ or ‘‘Othello,”’ In
‘‘The Winter’s Tale,’’ emotion is
a color played off against other
colors, rather than an analysis
of. the characters’ feelings, This
is one reason why we wanted to
set the play mainly with color
rather than three-dimensional
forms,”’

Mr, Butman once piled together
on atable all the costume materials
for ‘‘The Winter’s Tale,’”’ then
opened a book of Chagall prints
to the middle and laid it over
them, ‘‘Everything flowed to-
gether,’”’ he beamed,

some students would like to bring
to them. This ‘is partly because
they are graduate students who
don’t really have time to dis-
pense crying towels and partly
because they are not chosen for
their motherly or gregarious

big sister-little sister system
could be reinstated to supplement
the wardens. They also asked that
the School of Social Work be look-
ed into as a possible source of

The physical facilities commit-
tee recommended the building of

multi-level parking lotacross from
Rock and Shipley, and a lounge

The fifth subcommittee pri-

nearby colleges be taken advantage
of more than they are now.

Coffee House Idea

Refreshments will also be :'

served in the Common Room of

will be shown at 4:30 p.m. The
purpose of the project is to en-
courage students to initiate or
frequent a campus ‘coffee house

The actual idea is that the cam-
pus coffee house can be the site
for the reunion of students and the
airing of collegiate problems in
a friendly atmosphere. The cof-
