Bryn Mawr to Imitate Hford, Lowell to Read From His Works
Forms Campus Poll Committee At Ann Elizabeth Sheble Lecture
Monday night undergrad decided
to institute a Bryn Mawr version
of the newly formed Haverford
Committee of 36, Dennis Carson,
chairman of the Haverford
committee, and Ronnie Unterman,
Jim Garahan and Ted Becker, also
of the Haverford committee, were
present to answer questions con-
cerning the purpose and mech-
anism of the Haverford committee
and thereby help set up
Bryn Mawr’s.
Undergrad president Popie
Johns led discussion on the
proposed committee. The major
questions raised were concerning
the role of the committee and
how it. would fit into the struc-
ture of Self-Gov and Undergrad
without overlapping or under-
mining either and yet be an ef-
fective body. Another important
question raised was representa-
tion, leading to some discussion
of the representation of Under-
grad with suggestions made that
there be a revamping of the sys-
tem,
The final decision was to in-
stitute the committee as an ad-
visory body to both Undergrad
and Self-Gov with the purpose
of mobilizing, gathering and com-
piling student opinion around cer-
tain issues. The representation
will be by dorm sections with one
representative for .every 14 or 15.
people on the average. These rep-
resentatives are to take issues
to the dorm for discussion, com-
pile the opinions and hand them
over to the appropriate channels
for use as an accurate indication
of student opinion.
The committee will also serve
as a receptacle for suggestions and
grievances of subjects that various
groups or individuals on campus
want discussed, The committee
will be set up now on a trial
basis with appointed representa-
tives taken from those in each
dorm who express an interest. -

Robert Lowell, perhaps the fore-
most poet of his generation, will
read from his works at the Ann
Elizabeth Sheble Memorial Lec-
ture Monday, April 19, in Good-
hart.
Winner of the 1946 Pulitzer
Prize for his volume of poetry,
LORD WEARY’S CASTLE, Mr.
Lowell is also a playwright. This
year saw a production by Wes-
leyan University.of his adaptation
of Racine’s PHEDRE and a New
York production of his original
play, THE OLD GLORY.
Command Performance
Of ‘Hippolytus’ April 23
Euripides’ HIPPOLYTUS willbe
presented at Bryn Mawr in.Good-
hart Hall, Friday, April 23 at 8:30
p.m. The production will be in
Greek.
HIPPOLYTUS was favorably re-
ceived at 'Princeton in February,
so Prosopon, the classical drama
society of Bryn Mawr College and
Princeton University, decided to
give a repeat performance at Bryn
Mawr, There willbe some minor
changes in the cast and staff, but
the production will remain basic-
ally the same.
The story is as follows: Hippoly=-
tus, son of Theseus and the Ama-
zon Hippolyta, worships the ‘god-
dess Artemis and has taken vows
which exclude association with
women, Aphrodite, goddess of love
and beauty, who has become
angered at Hippolytus for neglect-
ing her, plans to punish him through
Phaedra, the child-bride of The-
seus. Phaedra falls in love with
Hippolytus who rejects her. Phae-
dra then commits suicide. and
leaves a note stating, falsely, that
Hippolytus‘raped her, Theseus
hears of the note and appeals
to his father Poseidon to curse
Hippolytus, who is then banished
from Troezen. Hippolytus is
mortally wounded ina chariot acci-
dent and is brought to the palace |
to die. Artemis appears to re-
proach Theseus, and to announce:
that maidens of Troezen will
henceforth cut their hair in honor
of Hippolytus, The play ends with
Artemis’ vow to repay Aphrodite
for her evil deed at a later date.

BMC Employees’
Spring Musicale
Set for April 22
Approximately 30 members of
Bryn Mawr College’s Employees’
Committee (formerly ‘‘Maids and
Porters’’) are presenting their
annual spring production Thurs-
day, April 22 in Goodhart at 8:30.
The 1965 presentation will fea-
ture a choral concert including
seasonal songs, light comedy,
operetta excerpts and spirituals,
The highlight of the evening is
a group of patriotic works especi-
ally selected for this concert.
For more than 35 years the
employees have collaborated to
offer the college community some
sort of performance, including
such projects as ‘*Porgy and Bess’’
and ‘‘Finian’s Rainbow.’’
Walter Anderson of Philadelphia
is returning as music director,
while Mary Moody will accompany
on the piano,
Anyone who would like to at-
tend the concert can obtain tickets
Among Mr. .Lowell’s poetic
works are LANDOF UNLIKENESS,
THE MILLS OF THE KAVA-
NAUGHS, LIFE STUDIES and FOR
THE UNION DEAD, his most re-
cent book.
Describing a work called IMI-
TATIONS, Edmund Wilson says,
**Lowell, who has used material
from other writers, all the way
from Homer to Pasternak has
produced a volume of verse which
consists of variations on themes
provided by these other poets and
which -is really an original se-
uence by Robert Lowell of Bos-
ton.’?
Born in 1917, Mr. Lowell at-
tended .Harvard University and
graduated from Kenyon College as
a classics major, following the
advice of Ford Maddox Ford.
From 1947 to 1948 he served
as Consultant in Poetry at the
Library of Congress. He held
grants from the Guggenheim Foun-
dation and the Institute of Arts
and Letters.
In ‘the- past he has lectured on
poetry and writing at the State
University of Iowa, the Kenyon
School of English, and the Salz-
burg Seminar. in-American Studies
in Austria, At present, Mr. Lowell
commutes from his home in New
York to teach two seminars at
Harvard.
New Englander by heritage, the
poet is a member of the famous
Lowell family. He is a great-
grandnephew of James Russell
Lowell and a distant cousin of
Amy Lowell.
In a recent LIFE magazine in-
terview, Mr. Lowell commented
on the role’ of his background
in his works: ‘*My ‘autobiograph-
ical’ poems are not always factu-
ally true, I’ve tinkered a lot with
fact. You leave out a lot; and
emphasize this and not,that. Your
actual exnerience is a complete
flux. I’¥e invented facts and chang-
ed things, and the whole balance
of the poem was something in-
vented,”’
The following statement by
Randall Jarrell is a sample of
critical. opinion: ‘‘Robert Lowell
is a poet of great originality and
power who has, extraordinarily,
developed instead of repeating
himself. His poems have a won-
derful largeness and grandeur,
exist on a scale that is unique
today. You feel before reading any
new poem of his the uneasy ex-
pectation of perhaps encountering
a masterpiece.’’
Older Generation On Campus,
Sun Shines On Parents’ Day
by Peggy Wilber
Diamond-shaped name _ tags,
chicken salad and even a live
pigeon were among the many fac-
tors helping to make this past
Saturday’s Parents’ Day a. greats
success. Although 401 parents had
informed the college of their plans
to attend before April 10, and
12 registered late on Saturday
morning, Carol Biba, Director of
Public Information, estimates that
as many as 525 persons took
part in the day’s -activities. This
number also included a sizable
number of sisters and brothers
as well as parents.
Freshman parents led the four
classes in the number of parents
attending - 148 Freshman lunch
acceptances were received. The
Freshman class also boasted a
parent travelling from as far away
as Puerto Rico to attend, while
acceptances were also received
from Texas, North Carolina,
Chicago and Jefferson City, Mis-:
souri. Among. the more local
visitors, three husbands of stu-
dents attended in the company of
their in-laws.
The faculty’s part in Parents’
Day was not only limited to 48
acceptances to morning coffee in
Goodhart; the faculty lectures were
one high point of the day. The most
popular lecture was Jose Maria
Ferrater Mora’s, ‘‘What is Man?’’
which was attended by about 125
persons, although 74 accepted.
Machteld Mellink’s report on the
Bryn Mawr ‘‘dig’’ in Turkey drew
67 acceptances, while Gertrude
C. K, Leighton’s ‘‘ Law and Psychi-
atry’? drew at least the 52 who
made reservations.
the cast reads as follows: ($1.00) from Pearl Edmunds in All the lectures were greatly

from such varied states. Richard
B. DuBoff, in a reversal of usual
classroom procedure, found him-
self presenting his -lecture on the
balance of payments to an all- on
male audience with the exeeption
of one woman.
The lectures were often supple-
mented by slides and other visual
aids; Richard C. Gonzalez’ lecture
on animal. intelligence was
enhanced by the presence of a live
Pig-ou,..which” reportedly found
the temperature in Dalton too
warm!
Saturday’s weather also proved
most pleasant, and although at
times students may have found the
name tags and- other’ small
instances of regimentation a bit
irritating, the parent who termed
the day as ‘fa combination of Vis-
itor’s Day at Camp and the P.T.
A.,’? was decidedly in the minority.
Minor suggestions such as using
a larger place than the Common
Room for morning coffee might
»be made, but all in all, the day
Seemed a great success, Katherine
B, Whelihan, Assistant to Miss
McBride, stressed, ‘‘Nobody can
give’ the students enough credit;
everyone who had apart in Parents’
Day was most conscientious and
helpful, and deserves all of our
thanks.’’
Happy
Easter!

A Limited Exchange
The Bryn Mawr exchange program this year was, to say the least,
inadequate. We visited only two colleges, Clark and Tougaloo, which are
similar in many respects, and the reports of these visits to the student
body in general have been limited to newspaper articles.
The fault does not lie entirely with our exchange committee, or what
was left of it by the time actual arrangements were being made. Three
..girls-resigned from the original committee of five chosen by Undergrad
last. spring, and no-replacements were made. Sign-up lists for academic.
exchanges with such schools as Bennington were taken down and never
__ given to the committee members, who hadn’t posted them in the first
place. Then, after an exchange was arranged with ‘nearby Lincoln
University, the five people who had signed up for it backed out, leaving
the committee member$ in the embarrassing position of having to cancel
the exchange. Finally, many students complained to the committee about
the limited program, but when encouraged to initiate further arrange-
ments, did nothing.
There is no reason for this to be repeated, and now is the time to see
that it isn’t, Undergrad should beginimmediately to set up another com-
mittee, this time subdivided into two groups: one to arrange cultural
exchanges, such as this year’s, and the other to arrange academic ex-
changes. Need we add that in case amember should quit, a replacement
be selected immediately?
Further, a tentative list of exchange colleges could be drawn up before
the end of the semester, so that personal contacts with the colleges
may be established over the summer, thus assuring better response
from other schools. Finally, the committee might conclude its program-
with a well-publicized meeting of some kind in which the Bryn Mawr
participants could discuss their visits with the rest of the-campus.

March
To the Editor:
The ‘*March on Washington to
End the War in Vietnam,’ sched-
uled for Saturday, has had wide-
spread implications. Many sources
report that Johnson is beginning
to feel and to_.respond, to the pres-
sures from the peace groups, Or-
ganizers of the-March feel that
one of the reasons Johnson made
his policy statement last weékwas
to undermine the demonstration.
His speech, while laudable in parts,
said nothing of ending or even of
letting up the fighting. For this
reason, if for no other, it is even
more important to pressure him
now. The President may be moved
to follow up his statement with
positive action.
At any rate, Washington looks

He must be a representative of the people when they give him construc- |

Although the student body seems
strikingly apathetic towards cur-
rent issues, their activist position
could be rekindled at the slightest
incident on campus or in Jackson.
The apathy on campus is explained
partially by the relative calm in
Jackson. Last year’s intensive
period of sit-ins and demonstra-
tions forced elementary schools
and most public places to inte-
most Civil Rights activities go on
through outside organizations such
as COFO rather than through the

by the transiency of its faculty.
Often a department consists of
only one faculty member and, ex-
cept for the few professors who are
dedicated to the college, most of
the faculty are young men and
women who have recently acquired
an MA and come to Mississippifor
the teaching experience and to par-
ticipate in the movement for a brief
period. Courses are often taught by
graduate students who are recruit-
ed for a month of teaching classes
and then return to their own work,
Tougaloo’s large percentage of
white faculty members remains
high even in this steady turnover
of professors because of the
national interest in the education of
the southern Negro and because the
college is partially underwritten
by Brown University. Brown sup-
plies money and directs the inter-
est of its graduate students towards
teaching at Tougaloo for either the
full year or as part of the intensive

Oberlin as well as to students on
short term exchanges like our own,
Though Tougaloo is technically
a Negro college, the year exchange
program has virtually intergrated
the campus. The head of the social
science department at Tougaldo
summed up the Bryn Mawr :ex-
change by saying that the entire
Negro protest is a result of an
optimistic belief in the flexibility
of American institutions. The stu-
dent exchanges test this flexibility
on a limited scale and add a di-
mension of cosmopolitan ex-
perience to the Tougaloo campus.

must be reckoned with. Two days
prior to the President, McGeorge
Bundy spoke at Johns Hopkins. Be-
fore coming he asked for all the
SDS literature on Vietnam and on
the March. He answered to its
claims in his speech.
The March is radical in itself--
but not because of*its demands.
The presence’ of Bob Parris, Iva
Pearce, and people from Selma and
similar communities make it dif-
ferent from other peace demon-
strations. Their attendence indi-
cates that this March may be the
beginning of a coalition between all
groups working for Human Rights
--be it inSouth Vietnam, the South-
ern U.S., or the American slums.
The March has also had a great
impact on student-faculty relations
on this campus. Seven professors
ate dinner and led discussions in
the dorms on Monday night, and
several more have aided SAC in
its efforts.
More important than improving
student-faculty relations, the
March has created real discussion
of issues on the campus. One can
‘sense a growing awareness of a
world beyond Bryn Mawr. The fact .
that 100 people from here are will-
ing to go to Washington and partici-
pate’ in a peace demonstration
raises the college from the ranks
of the apathetic to the level of an
increasingly activist school.

To the Editor:
We would like to express our
great appreciation to the Parents’
Day Committee for making
Parents’ Day what it was.
Despite the continuous accusa-
tions of Bryn Mawrters’ apathy,
we saw no evidence of this malady
in any of the individuals involved
with Parents’ Day and there were
many! Every member of the com-
mittee, as well as all the people
whom they recruited to attend to
the many details, proved totally
dependable and very willing to
help. :
To all these individuals, the
editors and staff of the’ NEWS,
to the administration and the facul-

S.A.C. Prepares BMC Campus
For Washington March Saturday
Leaflets, posters, and dis-
cussions all indicate that the U.S.
policy in Vietnam is a major topic
of discussion on the Bryn Mawr
campus, This is in anticipation
of the ‘*March on Washington to
End the War in Vietnam’? which
will take place Saturday, April
17,
The **Teach-In’’? at Swarthmore
last week, the forums at Haver-
ford, and the panels here. have
been directed at informing people
on the issues so they may decide
whether or not to participate in
the demonstration,
As part of its program on Viet-
nam, SAC provided each of the
major dorms with a professor who
led a discussion on this subject
after dinner on Monday night.
Mr. Lichtenberg dined at Den-
bigh, Haverford’s William Davide
on spoke at the Pembrokes, Miss
deGraaff and Mr. Lattimore were
at Rockefeller. Rhoads talked with
Mr. Brass, and Mr, Duboff ans-
wered questions: at Radnor.
Although the professors differed
oft the best solution, all agreed ©
that the United States must take
action to end, not extend, the
war. They were in accord about
the need for continued pressure on
the President and other officials.
All endorsed the March and en-
couraged the students to go,
About 100 Bryn Mawr students
and faculty members are going to
Washington on Saturday. Most are
taking the buses which SAC has
arranged, There will be six buses
and several cars leaving from the
Swarthmore-Bryn Mawr-Haver-
ford area,
The plans for activity in Wash-
ington include picketing the White
House from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
At 2 a rally will take place at the
Washington Monument. Speakers
will be Senator Gruening of Alas-
ka, journalist I. F, Stone, Bob
Parris (formerly Bob Moses) the

sponsoring group.
The rally should end at 3:30
p.m. Participants will then walk
from the Washington Monument
to the Capitol where a delegation
will be sent inside to present the
petition of the March, This docu-
ment lists alternatives to present

Bibliomaniac’s ‘Finest Hours’-
Thursday -Friday Book Sale
Anyone venturing into the gym
from now until next Friday will be
pleasantly confronted with liquor-
store cartons filled to overflowing
with books of all sizes and shapes.
These are harbingers of the Sixth
Annual Bryn Mawr Book Sale,
a benefit: for Regional Scholar-
ships and the Bryn Mawr Club
of Philadelphia. The sale will open
next Thursday, “April 23, at 9
p.m., and will continue through
Friday.
The Book Sale, whose profits
rose from $1700 in 1960 to $4300
last year, also boasts of a steady
-rise in the quantity of books con-
tributed by private individuals,
estates, and so on. Last year
about 15,000 books were sold,
and Mrs. Milton C, Nahm, the
Sale’s past and present Chair-
man, expects that at least this
number will be donated and sold
this year.
Collection for the Sale began
early last summer, and donations
have been stored in the basements
of the Deanery and West House.
Mrs. Nahm notes the wide variety
of books contributed - these range
from many valuable copies, in-
cluding first and autographed edi-
tions, as well as scholarly books,
and many many paperbacks, which
usually sell for a nickel.
Assistance in pricing rare and
scholarly editions is obtained from
a Philadelphia dealer who re-
ceives pre-Sale buying privileges
for his services. |
Mrs, Nahm stresses the Book
Sale’s function as a clearing house
- it is attended not only by stu-
dents, but by many dealers, li-
brarians, and faculty members
- and despite some students’ com-
plaints that dealers are allowed
at the sale, she emphasizes that,
‘¢There are always plenty of books
"to go around!’’
S
.-year’s Sale unique. Mr. Nahm,
Two. features will make this
Chairman of the Department. of
Philosophy, will autograph copies
of his latest book, LAS VEGAS
AND UNCLE JOE, on Thursday
from 11 to 1 as a kind of “‘side-
show,’’ and another divertimen-
to will be offered by Mrs. Reed,
a Bryn Mawr graduate student
in Geology, who will sell natural
mineral jewelry for the benefit
of Regional Scholarships.
Mrs. Nahm estimates that the
average price per volume last
year was twenty-five cents. The
usual’ price range is between five
cents and a dollar, although rare
editions will cost more.

May Second Movement
To Show Vietnam Film
by Marion Scoon
The movie ‘Heroic Vietnam:
1963’? made by the National Lib-
eration Front of South Vietnam will
be shown in the Common Room
of Goodhart at 5:00 p.m. either
Wednesday, Thursday or Friday
of next week. Russell Stetler of
Haverford, member of the May2nd
Movement, which owns the film,
~will ria rate and answer questions
about it and the May 2nd move-
ment.
Recent showings of this film
‘created a furor at the University
of Cincinnati and at the University
of Pennsylvania. The film was
seized by Federal agents after
one minute of showing, supposedly
as smuggled goods. However, Cus-
toms officials later returned the
film. They requested Stetler not
to sue for. violation of rights pro-
tected under the First and Fourth
Amendments, free speech and
freedom from seizure.
Last week a professor at Penn
State resigned in protest to a
showing. -
Details about the film are found
in the May 2 paper ‘‘Free Student,’’
available on the SAC reserve shelf,
in Taylor, or from Marion Scoon.
Following is a quotation from
‘Free Student?’ (#2) article -by
Stetler:
“The controversy (over the film)
is more important than the film
itself; for the most part, the film
proves disappointing as a propa-
ganda document ..... Those .who
have seen the film will readily ad-
mit that it will never convince
a single American college student
that the U.S. position in Vietnam
is wrong .... It isnot opportunism
which brings ‘us to show the film,
but an assumption that those people
interested in’ seeing it are capable
of making more intelligent judg-
ments about the Vietnam question
when presented with more points
of view than just White-Paper-.

Sunday Conc
by Donna Macek, '66
Interfaith sponsored a choral
concert on Sunday, April 11, inthe
Main Reading Room of the Library.
The program, which included ex-
erpts from the ‘¢],amentations of
Jeremiah,”? was very capably di-
rected by Gill Bunshaft who
obviously devoted much time to the
study of these works.
Two flutes, a French horn, and
a bassoon joined with the small
chorus for the first two selections
by Jean Matelart and Cristobal de
Morales and by Claudin de Ser-
misy. The voices and instruments
were well balanced, and they
blended into what often seemed to
be a single resonant tone. The
group is tobe commended for tech-
nical precision. Only lacking wasa
distinctness or variety in dy-
namics.

Avignon, Madrid Provide
Summer Program Abroad
tte,
A soon-to-be-familiar view, to
Six Bryn Mawr undergraduates
and one graduate student will pass
this summer in France, studying
for the first six weeks, staying 10
days in Paris at the end of the
summer, and spending the rest of
of the time being generally tour-
isty. The studying will be under
the auspices of the Institut d’
études Francaises d’Avignon,
which is directed by M, Guggen-
heim, associate professor of
French at Bryn Mawr.
The students will take two cour-
ses, receiving six or seven se-
mester hours of credit. The cour-
eses have two main purposes: 1)
to increase the fluency, compre-
hension, and writing progress in
French of each student; and 2)
to help the student understand
better the French culture.
The Bryn Mawr students, Emily
Agnew, Renee Allard, Fredrica
Emrich, Elizabeth Freedman, Pa-
tricia Ohl, Elizabeth Roper and
‘Sister Marie-Jacqueline De Mor-
euille, will join 52 other students
from 30 or 40 other schools in the
nation in New York on June 16.
They will land in Paris the next
day and then take the train to
Avignon.
ert Confirms
Reading Room’ s Potential
The highlight of the program was
the final selection, Troisieme Le-
gon de Tenebres by Francois Cou-
perin, sung by Patrice Pastore
(°68), first soprano, and Cynthia
Walk (’67), second soprano, They
were accompanied by Barbara
Hurwitz on the cello and Emily
Singer on the harpsichord.
The two soloists beautifully ex-
ecuted the difficult turns and em-
bellishments in the contrapuntal
music. The purity of their voices
was emphasized and enhanced by
the acoustics of the Reading
Room.
Gill ‘‘discovered’”? the Reading
Room as a place for musical re-
citals earlier this year, and sev-
eral Sunday programs have been
conducted there this semester. It
is hoped that the Library will con-
tinue to be used in such a capacity
in the future and that more people
of the college community will in-
itiate programs. Credit goesto Gill
and her ensemble not only for pre-
senting a fine and polished per-
formance but also for bringing to
light another ‘‘good facility’’ of
Bryn Mawr.

French students going to Avignon.
While in Avignon, the students
will live with French families
there, ‘‘to provide the best basis
for developing fluency in French
and acquiring a deeper knowledge
of French life and customs.’’
In addition several students will
be studying at the Centro de Es-
tudios Hispanicos in Madrid. The
program there is designed for the
same purposes as the Avignon pro-
gram, except concerning the Span-
ish language and Hispanic art,
literature and history. Students
will receive six semester hours of
credit for the two courses they
take. Extracurricular activities
involve living with Spanish fam-
ilies, taking study excursions and
attending drama and _ musical
events. .
Directing this program in its
first year is Miss Turnbull of
the Bryn Mawr Spanish depart-
ment. Diana Gonzales, Mary Ann
D’Esopo, and one graduate student
Linnea Lindberg are going, but the
list is not yet complete. The limit
this year is 30 from the whole
country, which is about what it
was in Avignon for its first year.
The students will return to the
U.S; August 19 instead of August
23 as it states in the pamphlet.
Mrs. King of the Spanish de-
partment reports that there are
three or four extra seats on the
plane to Madrid. The cost is $356
and any REGISTERED BRYN
MAWR STUDENT who isinterested
in going over with them shouldcon-
tact Mrs. King.

Although faculty salaries have
been steadily increasing-over 70
percent from 1949 to 1959-they are
only 50 percent of the relative
1939 figures. Twenty-four ofthe 47
professions used for the compar-
ison had even more rapid growth
rates for the 1949-59 period,
Thirteen colleges received an
AA rating for the AAUP for their
salaries, These institutions pay a
full professor an average, with
fringe benefits, of $17,840, and a
minimum compensation of $13,790.
Schools receiving the AA grade
last year were Amherst College,
California Institute. of Technology,
Columbia University, Duke Uni-
versity, Harvard University,
Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology, Princeton University,
Wesleyan University, and Yale Un-
iversity.
Four additions were made this
year: the State University of New
York at Stony Brook, University
of Rochester, and Brooklyn and
Hunter Colleges of the City Uni-
‘versity of New York,
Bryn Mawr was among those
colleges ranked B in the average
and A inthe minimum scales, The
minimum average salary in this
group for full professors is
$13,790. At Bryn Mawr, the aver-
_age salary for full-time faculty is
$10,957, The comparable figure for
Haverford is $11,062.
Harvard has first place in the
nation with an average compensa-
tion of over $17,000 for all full- —
time faculty members,
The survey covered 824 colleges
and universities inthe country. The
average increase in faculty-sal-
aries for the year 1964 to 1965 is

Tennis Makes Good Start,
Lacrosse Looking Hopeful
by Anne Godfrey, '65
On Wednesday, April 14, Bryn
Mawr’s tennis team played ' its
first match of the. season against
West Chester State Teachers’ Col-
lege. The JV started off their sea-
son successfully winning-3-2, The
two varsity doubles teams defeated
their opponents but the three
singles players were beaten, al-
though they all gave West Chester
a tough fight. Everyone played
quite well, especially considering
the fact that because it is early
in the season no one has had too
much practice.
The lacrosse team will play its
first game next week, The team will
be the best that Bryn Mawr has had
in quite a while. There are a
number of enthusiastic Freshmen
who have augmented the size of the
team as well as having brought
good skills with them, Those who
have never seen a lacrosse game
ought. to take the time to.go down
to the field during one of:the home
games and see how it is played.

Strength of Love in Modern World
by Laura Krugman
THE UMBRELLAS OF CHER-
BOURG is a multicolored, lyrical,
and slightly ironic tribute to young
love. It creates the standard boy-
meets-girl fairy tale only to
shatter it, but when the pieces are
put back together everyone lives
even more happily ever after.
The plot revolves around a young
couple lost. in the wonders of
their love. When he departs for the
army, she promises to wait for-
ever, Practical considerations in-

trude, however, and her forever is
shortened to about five months,
On his return, Guy is bitter, but
true love from another—source
softens him. Genevieve too finds
that she has chosen the life best
suited to her. All inconvenient
members of the older generation
- sources of worldly wisdom and
saintly comfort - conveniently die,
leaving a neat ending.
UMBRELLAS is a mood piece,
and despite a few suspiciously
cynical perceptions it stays within
its limits. The dialogue may
occasionally border on the trite-
when Guy returns, his aunt tells
him that now she can die-but once
the viewer has been captured by
the pervading spirit, such usually
false notes ring true.
The secret of the movie is its
spirit, a joy in life that accepts
love as the cure of all ills, Even
if all loves cannot succeed, there
is enough happiness to repair any
traumas with wholesome effic-
iency.
Through expert photography,
color is used to set the cheerful
tone. Room settings have a Van
Gogh-like approach to color and
simple shape that, like the film
itself, borders on the make-
believe, Both’ movie and decor
protection,
somehow remain in reality, but
a reality for which special rules
apply.
Dialogue is-sung, in a sort of
recitative, with varying tempos —
to~-match the mood, A technique
that might-have become~affected
and wearying stays refreshing
simply because in the world of
UMBRELLAS the mailman would
sing his good morning as a matter
ofcourse,
The performances are tenderly
drawn, with a slight tendency to-
ward soulful eyes and wistful
glances, Guy never quite seems
properly bitter; he is more com-
fortable as the enchanted lover
and contented husband,
In her transition from an ine
fatuated ingénue to a girl taught
a lesson in the ways of the world,
Genevieve acquires her share of
sophistication without staining the
innocence of her first love.
All the components of the movie
are directed toward a single*goal-
reaffirming the strength of love in
this practical world, If-the spirit
captures your fancy, any liberties
taken with life are entirely justi-
fied. If you prefer your reality
without whimsy, UMBRELLAS OF
CHERBOURG cannot promise you
Hear Miss Lang’s Theories
Despite the Pan Am strike,
Mabel Lang of the Bryn Mawr
Greek department was one of two
representatives from the U.S, to
the Fourth International Collo-
quium on Mycenaean Studies held
part of last week and this week in
Cambridge, England, In all, 25
scholars. and linguists attended
discussions centered around the
interpretation of Linear B texts
found at-Pylos, Knossos and My-
cenae, Miss Lang has always dug
at Pylos, where, since1957, she
has been working with-frescoes,
and also publishing what texts.she
could find. Her contribution to
finding the meaning of these 13th
Century BC. texts is in the field
of sheep and goats.
She has‘ found many of these
clay tablets listing sheep, goats
and -pigs along side
various place and personal names.
The question of what they were
used for could be answered in
terms of feudal tax levies, com-
mercial distributions and other
more complicated factors. Miss
Lang’s theory is thatthe lists
were contributions by individuals
(or possibly tribes) to the palace
for sacrifice in the state religion,
One reason for thinking this is
that there are twice as many male
RADAR THAT SEES LIKE A FROG
Now there’s a new radar system which,
like the frog, can see everywhere with-
out motion. It does three jobs simul-
taneously: searches the entire sky for
missiles, pinpoints the_location of tar-
gets already spotted, and sorts out real
missiles from decoys. All in less time
than it takes to blink an eye.
It's done by steering the radar beam
growth.
electronically, and is the result of de-
velopment work for missile defense by
the scientists of a GT&E subsidiary.
Producing a radar system as versa-
tile as this is the result of the ever in-
creasing emphasis on research by the
GT&E family of subsidiaries— research
that stands as our soiid base for future
lists. of.
ahimals listed as females, This
is reasonable in terms of sacri-
fice purposes because the male
animals are usually sacrificed,be-
cause females are far more valu-
able alive for their breeding
and milk-giving functions, How-
ever, there were some gods in the
religion who did demand female
meat, so some females would have
to have been sacrificed,

sions, the participants were able to
