Undergrad Goes On Discussing Dance Concert Previagt Shows
Imaginative Assortment of Moods

Committees, Bi-College Council

Much of the business of Monday
night?’s Undergrad meeting con-
cerned the committees for next
year. The committee lists which
had been posted in Taylor were
reviewed, and five members ofthe
Executive Board were selected to
be members of a Finance Com-
mittee which. will review and dis-
cuss the budgets of next year’s
clubs and committees.

The paid jobs such as Travel
Bureau,Furniture Sale, and Record
Library will be assigned next week
after President Margaret Edwards
has consulted with the scholarship
committee. Other jobs and com-
mittee chairmen will be chosen
by each committee.

The discussion of a bi-college
committee was continued from the
last meeting. Margaret said she

had discussed the committee with.

Mike Bratman, president of the
Haverford Council, andthey agreed
that the committee should consist
of at least the heads of the var-
‘ious committees of both colleges
in order to function well.

After discussion on the subject
it was decided that this combina-
tion would not serve much more
purpose than merely a cooperation
of both colleges’ committee heads,
as there often is now. In order to
make communication between Bryn
Mawr and Haverford easier, a list
of all heads of committees of both
colleges will be published. This
list will include all phone numbers.

Sue Orbeton volunteered to be
Bryn Mawr’s overseer of the
‘‘oreen bus’’ and of the Meal Ex-
change.

Fulton Lewis III

Fulton Lewis III is the next
speaker on the Conservative Club
agenda with a talk scheduled Mon-
day, April 18, at 7:30 in the Com-
mon Room on ‘‘Vietnam: Why Are
We There and Where Do We Go
From Here?’?

Mr. Lewis has recently deliver -
ed this speech at several western
campuses,, including U.C.L.A.,
Berkeley and Reed.

At one time a research director
for the House Committee on Un-
American Activities, Mr. Lewis
was a co-director of the film
“‘Operation Abolition’ and he par-
ticipated in the production of the
new HUAC film ‘While Brave
Men Die,’’ both concerning com-
munist. infiltration in the United
States,

Although he wants especially to
speak on Vietnam. he is willing
to answer any questions about his
experiences with the HUAC. He
is now working on the magazine
NEWSCOPE in Washington D.C.
On Friday, April 22. he will be
at Yale to debate with Staughton
Lynd. the professor who made an
independent visit to North Vietnam
this year.

A new publicity committee will
be instituted at Bryn Mawr and
its members will be paid by Under -
grad to publicize all school events,
including committees and organi-

Perhaps the two most interest-
ing innovations brought out at the
meeting are those made concern-
ing Bryn Mawr and Haverford
communications. Campus mail will
now go to Haverford every day,
and any letter mailed before 10
a.m. will arrive at Haverford that
day.

Also the Bryn Mawr and Haver-
ford *‘Operation Match’? has been
arranged and will begin soon, The
new operation is called ‘‘CO-
HABIT,” and will cost 25¢. Time
has already been leased for the
use of the computer in the match.

‘*Play’? -- that opens the pro-

said that dancers take themselves
too seriously, but that isn’t neces-
sarily so. In ‘‘Play’’ the dancers
come onto the stage as they would
enter the studio; they limber at the
bar and cavort across the floor --
at the same time mocking the
images of themselves which they
confront inthe mirror. ‘‘Prayer’’

O’Neitlt-Play Cast Enters
Early Rehearsal Stages

College Theatre’s spring pro-
duction of Eugene O’Neill’s
‘‘Long Day’s Journey Into Night’’
is scheduled for May 6 and 7
at 8:00 p.m. in Roberts Hall,
Haverford. Ticket prices will be
$1.00 for students, $1.50 for all
others,

Rehearsals have begun for the
members of the cast. It is a dis-
tinctive feature of this production
that all the actors and actresses
are experienced and can thus
start rehearsing without much in
the way of preliminaries. This is
in marked contrast to the previous
production, ‘‘Under Milk Wood,’’
where a considerable amount of
preparatory work was necessary
because of the large number of
‘tnew’’ people having parts.

In **Long Day’s Journey’’ the
role of the father will be played
by Munson Hicks; Margaret Ed-
wards will play the mother; Chuck
Strang, the consumptive son; Steve
Bennett, his brother Jamie; and
Jane Taylor, the maid,

Despite the experience of the

H‘ford Professors
Not Paying Taxes

Professors William Davidon and
Ariel Loewy of Haverford are not
paying their income taxes this
year, in protest of U.S. involve-
ment in Vietnam. They are parties
to an invitation signed by over 300
other people; all taxpayers were
invited to consider this action.

Signers include A, J, Mustey,
Staughton Lynd, Dave Dellinger and
Joan Baez. Their statement says
that they feel the ordinary chan-
nels of protest are exhausted and
more radical action is needed to
help avert a nuclear war. They
recognize the gravity oftheir step,
which could result in fines up to
$10,000 and a year in jail, but
they think the U.S. is violating
the Constitution, the U.N, Charter
and international law, and they
do not want to participate in crimes
against humanity.

A. J. Mustey has not paid his
taxes for “40 years. In such cases
the government merely takes the
proper amount from the offender’s
bank account or salary and does
not prosecute. In this way the
person does not get the advantage
of any deductions. »

cast, work on the play cannot
really get under way until after
the Dance Concert, because of the
absence of some College Theatre
officers for this latter.

Besides using an especially ex-
perienced cast, it should be re-
marked, Director Robert Butman
and the people of College Theatre
are undertaking to present
a particularly difficult drama, All
in all, the ‘‘day’’ of ‘*Long Day’s
Journey,’’ with its particularity
and intensity and the length of
exposure of each of the characters
to the audience’s scrutiny, should
afford an interesting contrast to
the day of ‘*Under Milk Wood,”’
with its generality, its easy
alternation of moods, and the brief-
ness of the glimpses it allowed
of the townspeople of L! . eggub.

Students to Aitend
Avignon, Madrid
Summer Schools

Names of students going to sum -
mer studies in either Avignon or
Madrid have been released by the
French and Spanish Departments.

Bonnie Cunningham, ’68; Eliza-
beth Duke, ’68; Nimet Habachy,
’67; Cookie Poplin, ’69; Patricia
Pyle, graduate student; Emily
Singer, ’67 and Andrea Stark, ’67
are going to Avignon. They will
leave on a Bryn Mawr group flight
from New York to Paris June 15,

Rebecca Cooley, ’67; Florence
Castelle, ’66; Linda Emroch, ’68;
Jean M. Miller, ’67; and Melissa
McCarty, ’66 will be studying in
Madrid. They will leave at ap-
proximately the same time as the
French students, as they have to
register in Madrid on the 18th.

Both groups take two courses
there for six weeks, to allow them
one month free (August) to see
more of Europe than they would
during class time. The Avignon
group has the option of meeting
in Paris for ten days at the end
of August before coming home.

The program calls for staying
with families during the school
time and provides the students
with visits to places of interest
‘around their particular school.

These students are supposed to
have had the equivalent of three
years of college French or Span-
ish.

fast section -- an appetizer, as it
were, a brief overture to an am-
bitious concert.

There are three student choreo-
graphed works in the concert. Two

-are remarkably complex. Liz

Schneider, choreographer of ‘‘the
mind is its own beautiful prisoner”
characterizes her piece as the
‘«contraction of the mind into it-
self and its expansion toward
others.’ Liz capitalizes ona large
cast by quick entrances and exits
which cut across space and which
keep the stage in constant motion.

‘‘Synapse,’’ choreographed by
Alice Leib, is a seven-part study
of hanging. The title refers to the
moment of hanging -- when the
rope is snapped, leaving a still-
warm body suspended between two
worlds, ‘‘Dancers can afford to be
pretentious,’’ Alice states matter-
of-factly, and *‘anyway I’m using
five H’ford boys.”

Jessica Harris and Amy Dickin-
son perform ‘*Time,”’ a Dave Clark
Five selectioh of the same name.

Mrs, Ann Mason, Bryn Mawr’s
own teacher/choreographer, inad-
dition to the three opening move-
ments offers a piece entitled
“‘Tranquility,’? to music by Paul
Creston, and a dance-dramatiza-
tion of Thornton Wilder’s ‘Our
Town’’ to music by Aaron Copland,
The former is danced by a quintet
whose wide sweeping arm gestures

and swift runs are anything but
tranquil, Mrs. Mason explained
that this is a ‘mood piece,’’ one
which suggests the poles of emo-
tion one can experience while wait-
ing, those of vigor and of languor.

Toby Williams is Emily in‘*Our
Town’? and she is blonde and lovely.
Her duets with Rick Grossman,
as George, are high points of the
program.

And what of performance? On
the whole, the girls are trimmer
and tighter than in previous years;
they move with greater certainty
and with more grace, Lead dancer
Andy Stark performs withthe same
exactness, strength, and fluidity of
movement. she so. admirably
demonstrated in last year’s con-
cert. AS a company, the BMC
dance group is. still not Sarah
Lawrence or Bennington. But then
BMC has no fine arts program,
The dance group is professional
in its attitude, however, and the
concert is professional. Light de-

‘signs by Lance Jackson are im-

aginative and effettive; sets by
Judy Chapman are clean and
simple; costumes by Sue Slocaare ~
colorful and becoming.

The Dance Club’s performance
is Friday night at 8:30 in Goodhart,
I think you should see it. The
Dance Club is a non-profit organ-
ization dedicated to the advance-
ment of the performing arts, And
besides, the girls get AA points,

years, Mr. Brownhas written many
articles in the field of education,
especially on its psychological as-

Freshman Comp

According to the current curriculum, the required freshman comp
course is a year-long study of writers within the fields of literature
of the twentieth century, English Renaissance literature, American
literature, or themes and forms. The efforts of the student are directed
at the weekly papers and the second-semester six-week paper, with the
aim of developing competent writing. If freshmen enter with fives in
the English advanced placement exam, or if they demonstrate competent
writing after one semester here, they are exempt from all or half a year
of this composition course.

We have observed within the student body an unusual amount of dis-
satisfaction concerning the term of this requirement; the feeling that the
freshman comp course should be cut to one semester is a common one.
Suggestions for such a revision run as follows:

The course should meet three times a week for one semester rather
than twice a week for two semesters. Weekly papers should still be
required, with the bi-weekly conferences. While some students might
like to see only this half-unit of workin English required, it is probable
that the first step would be to require yet another half-unit of English.
This second half-unit would be taken during the second semester of the
freshman year, and chosen from a variety of literature and creative
writing courses -- to insure the writing of something comparable to a
six-week paper. (We have in mind the organization of the Philosophy
Department with its required 10la course and choice of 200 aor b
courses to fulfill the unit,)

Students in favor of condensing the freshman comp course feel that
in general freshmen are able to carry a heavier work load than the
course now requires; that the progressive advanced classes of high
schools are comparable if not identical inemphasisto freshman English
here; that the year-long study in one of the four fields still does not suit
individual tastes; that a work load of only four subjects per year should
allow for more variety in the field of English, if the freshman course
will be a student’s only opportunity to take any English here. If the
course were condensed, perhaps reading lists could be sent out in the
summer. :

Of course there are practical problems to be considered. Members
of the English Department feel that a student’s writing would not improve
enough in the space of one semester of freshman comp, and indeed,
these classes are ‘‘a service course for the rest of the college’’ as far
as papers go. Second, instructors now consider the individual confer-
ences the ‘‘third hour’’ of class; if the above change were made, they
would need still extra hours to keep up these conferences, Further, if a
switch in instructors were made at mid-year (from the comp course
into an elective English course), the new instructor would be unfamiliar
with the student’s problems in writing when she undertook her long
paper. Finally, if second-semester courses were offered in both litera-
ture and creative writing, a turnover in personnel might be needed to
fulfill these demands.

Such are the suggestions and the obstacles; any revision lk
‘would call for intricate planning. The COLLEGE NEWS would like to
See the suggestions gradually implemented, with the careful considera-
tion of Curriculum Committee, which is meeting next week and plans to
discuss this situation.

Over the weekend the NEWS is distributing a questionnaire to which
every student is requested to present her opinions on freshman comp
revision. We hope for thoughtful and serious answers; they could in
time contribute to the progress of the college.

A Taxing Situation

The story of the movement not to pay income taxes on the front page
perhaps deserves additional comment. Levying an income tax isa
relatively recent Constitutional (amendment #16) right of our govern-
ment, but taxes are generally thought of as inevitable; witness the old
phrase ‘‘as sure as death and ...’? The money accrued to the U.S,

through income taxes is used for, among other things, schools, Atlas ©

Agena rockets and lights in the Senate Office Building. These however
are minor. This year about 60% of our budget is spent on defense items.
Almost 100% of our defense energy today is tied up in Vietnam.

Three hundred people have decided they don’t like the way the U.S, is
spending those slices of their dollars. And they don’t like it enough to
refuse to hand over anything. This act of civil disobedience throws a
small but bothersome monkeywrench in the doings of the Internal
Revenue Service. Of course the service can get the money by withdraw-
ing it from the participants’ bank accounts or deducting it from their
salaries. But that’s not the point. The point is that those people are no
longer personally and actively contributing to the war effort which they
find so distasteful.

Additionally their actions have publicity value. Refusal to pay income
tax is not as light a thing as a Saturday afternoon march down Fifth
Avenue, It seems to show the seriousness with which these people con-
sider present policy. Their refusal is as serious as they think the sit-
uation is grave.

We are a divided newspaper staff. Some of us cannot condone their
action, seeing it as a deliberate and uncalled for breaking of the law.
Others think that their action is appropriate and commendable. The

_ Same situationis undoubtedly true in the soeiely af a whole. These people
will be both condemned and praised in coming months. We, being
divided, can simply urge that students reconsider the position and
responsibility of the U.S, in the world, and the duties and rights of each
of her citizens.

Mrs. Hanson Assembles Exhibit;
‘Manet Circus’ Heads For Philly

by Anne Lovgren

It all started some time ago
when Assistant Professor Anne
Coffin Hagson of the History of
Art Department was asked to write
the catalogue for a November
showing of Manet paintings, draw-
ings and prints at the Philadelphia
Museum of Art. Since then, Bryn

Mawr graduate -students, under-

graduates, and, most of all, Mrs.
Hanson herself have become in-
volved in what she terms ‘‘a Manet
Circus,”’

The writing of the catalogue is
a monumental task in itself, since
it must provide a full discussion
of the style, subject matter, and
identification of subjects as well
as ‘the bibliography, history, and
provenence (history of ownership)
for each of the exhibit’ s 200 pieces.

Then too, catalogue writing is a
special sort of professional prob-
lem for the art historian, since it
requires selectivity of information
rather than deep, lengthy analysis
of the art works. And of course,
the writer must take into account
the diversified nature of her audi-
ence -- the complete spectrum
from the Saturday afternoon art
buff to the professional art scholar.

Mrs, Hanson then sees the func-
tion of the catalogue as two-fold:
It should give the general public
information and background neces-
sary to its enjoyment of the ex-
hibition, and accordingly it should
be written in terms clear and
understandable to the layman;
moreover, it should point out to
the art historian visiting the ex-
hibit relationships between various
works and provide him with com-
plete up-to-date information on
each of them,

**an exhibition such as this,”
Mrs. Hanson comments, ‘‘is a
great opportunity for the art
historian to see works together

Edouard Manet’s oil painting,

that are not normally together.”
By noting stylistic and subjective
changes, the scholar can, she feels,
*tbetter understand the total con-
tribution of the artist.”

Her work on the Manet catalogue
has provided an artistic spring-
board for a graduate seminar,
undergraduate course work and
senior comp conference work.

During first semester, Mrs.
Hanson conducted a graduate sem-
inar on Manet, in which the stu-
dents, as part of their work, wrote
typical catalogue entries. It is a
comment on the difficulty of cata-
logue writing that each of the
graduate students could finish only
two or three entries in the course
of the semester.

The concentration on Manet also
provided one of the graduate stu-
dents with information and pos-
sibilities for significant new
criticism on the painting ‘‘Lola
De Valence.’’? (Lola is coming
from the Louvre for the exhibi-
tion.) She, as Bryn Mawr repre-
sentative, will present her paper
on this painting and its relationship

to typical ballet prints of the
century at a conference for young

Scottish heraldry and have come
up with seven new flags to add
to the Bryn Mawr collection. Six
more old ones have been refur-
bished by George Bryant. There
is a possibility that one more will
be ordered, as there is about

, $150 left. Each flag costs about

$100 and is about 6 x 10 feet.

The old flags were bought around
1911 so they have lasted many
years, without being entirely des-
troyed by wind flapping. For the
new ones, there was a choice of
cotton, nylon or nylawool. Mrs.
Whelihan said the nylon ‘flies
nicely because it’s so light, but
since nylon is a relatively recent
invention, no one really knows how
long it might last.’’ It is also
more expensive. The committee
ended up buying the two plainest
ones in cotton to save money and
the rest in either nylon or the
nylon mixture.

As for colors, Mrs. Whelihan
felt the blue goes better with the

-gray stones of the campus and

besides Bryn Mawr already has
plenty of red. This is part of her
reason why the extra money should
be spent on a Royal Standard
of England, which is three gold
lions on a blue field. The new
ones already ordered are the Royal
Standard of Scotland; the new
national flag of Wales; the St.
George Cross, which is green

stripes on red and white; Orif-.

lamme, red with a jagged edge;
Botetorte, black on gold;- Tudor
Stream, which is fleurs de lis; and
St. Edmunds, three gold crowns on
blue. These are all flags of knights’
families.

~The Sinithsonian Institute, the
National Library of Wales, the
Philadelphia Library and the Bryn
Mawr Library have helped in pick-
ing the flags,

‘*at the Races,”



which will arrive from

the Chicago Art Institute for the November, 1966 exhibition.

Art Histories held by the Frick

‘Museum and the New York Uni-
‘versity Institute of Fine Arts.

Several art history majors, as
part of their compconference work
have chosen: topics of concentra-
tion closely related to Manet, An-
gelika deKornfeld is studying
Japanese prints, which, as Mrs.
Hanson commented, ‘‘affected

Manet in very subtle ways.”

Carole Slatkin is examining the .

art theories of Baudelaire and
Mallarme, both of whom consider -

‘ed modern life to provide the most

important subject matter and spirit
for modern art. Manet was aclose
friend to the two writers and there
was a marked interchange of in-
fluence between the poets and the
artist. Their association is par-
ticularly significant because it is
a specific case in which the
interrelationship of the arts can
be studied.

Susan Anderson, another senior,
is pursuing the study of photograph,
which, Mrs. Hanson believes is
essential to the Manet style.

In the advanced art course this
semester, ‘*Manet and the Nine-
teenth Century Painters,” the stu-
dents are again treating works
included in the show. Each is
working to present a report ona
particular group of Manet paint-
ings such as his still life works
and;his paintings of philosophers.

In conjunction with the course
work, both this class and the grad-
uate seminar have visited the
Manet collection at the Philadel-
phia Museum,



Mrs. Hanson and the growing con-
glomeration of catalogue refer-
ences.

Mrs. Hanson’s modus operendi
for writing the catalogue centers
around a large filing system with
written entries and photographs of
each work. This ‘“‘working cata-
logue’’ has been used extensively
by students in her classes, who
visit Mrs. Hanson and the files
to find information or volunteer
ideas in what she calls ‘‘a constant
give and take process.’’

As the catalogue’s publication
date grows closer and student
projects on Manet become more
and more involved, a weary Mrs.
Hanson remarks, ‘‘At this point
I don’t know whether I’m teaching
a class or running a circus -- a
Manet Circus,”’

In all the artistic frenzy sur-
-rounding her office, it is a telling
postscript that the library cleaning

_ man had to make an appointment

with her to sweep the office floor.

Excerpts

From Levi’s Cal. Talk

Consider Student Rights, Duties

Following are brief ex—
cerpts from the speech Mar—
goret Levi has prepared to
deliver at a conference on
the American university May
8-10 in Los Angeles. The
topic is students and their
mutual responsibilities.—Ed.

(At. Bryn. Mawr) Students ‘are
certainly encouraged to take part
in decisions which affect the
college and they do have control
over their own social regulations,
Yet, despite the emphasis on demo-
cratic control of the university,
the level of participation in stu-
dent affairs is very low. Despite
its emphasis on the academic, the
school suffers from a lack of
intellectualism. Despite its repu-
tation for attracting bright, sensi-
tive and individualistic girls, its
classrooms are dull...

‘¢Four major factors contribute
to the small degree of democrat-
ization and _ intellectualization
which has taken place on the cam-
pus. First is the lack of atradition
of participation in our society.
People are just not used to being
called upon to make decisions
which will count...

‘*Second, and particularly evi-

dent at Bryn Mawr, is the stress
on individualism as the most de-
sirable trait to be found in a stu-
dent. The college used to have a
reputation for seeking and attract-
ing the type of individualist who,
because of their exceptional
brilliance or creativity, lived in a -
world of their own. But more

..Frecently. the. trend has .been to-.

wards ‘wholesome,’ well-rounded,

and stable girls--bright enough —

but not impressive. The students
are no longer concerned with in-
dividualism in the old sense but
with a privatism, valued to such
a degree that its importance far

mosphere as impersonal as the one
in which the student is a mere
IBM number...

‘The fourth factor is the con-
cern which most ‘collegés have in
retaining their ‘liberalism.’ This
means that the range of the faculty
is automatically limited, for the
non-liberal viewpoint or an ardent

Marxtst, will not be tolerated-:. 2° ~

**But the saddest thing is that
students themselves have accepted
the myths (of non-participation
and passive education) or else

.they believe that the present sys-

tem of education and forms of stu-
dent government R®epresent the

outshadows that of the special

responsibilities placed upon the -

girls both as students and as

AFS Committee Raises Funds
To Entertain Foreign Students

If you haven’t heard the word
‘*AFS*? mentioned at least once
during the past few weeks, chances
are you haven’t been around Bryn
Mawr recently.

Two morning bake sales in Tay-
lor last week and a French-style
flea market on the back porch
of Wyndham last Saturday have
been part of a short-run but
desperate attempt to raise funds

for the latest endeavor of the

Bryn Mawr-Haverford Chapter of
AFS,

Decoded, AFS stands for Ameri-
can Field Service, a high school
student exchange program between
the United States and approximate-
ly thirty foreign countries,

The AFS chapter here, organized
at the beginning of this year by
Americans who have gone abroad
on the program and by foreign
students who have returned to the

United States after their AFS year
here, is planning a weekend at
Bryn Mawr College for some of
the AFS students spending their
senior year in high schools in this
area,

The weekend activities, planned
for April 15 and 16, include attend-
ance of classes here and at Haver -
ford, a picnic at Batten House,

cert and the mixer on Friday night.

The students come from coun-
tries as varied as Norway, Italy,
Malaysia and Brazil. Manyofthem
are considerably older than the
average American senior in high
school and have not had as much
opportunity to talk with older stu-
dents as they might have liked.

Those who have replied to the
invitations sent out have responded
enthusiastically to the opportunity,

With this one exception,
GT&E holds the lead in remote control

We leave it up to the dexterity of
youth to manipulate slot cars. But
concede nothing to anyone in the
matter of making machines act as
they should without human inter-
vention...even if they’re sepa-
rated by hundreds of miles.

The lead is supplied by two of
GT&E’s family of companies.
Automatic Electric manufactures
the control systems, and Lenkurt
Electric the equipment to trans-
mit the control signals over wire

lines or microwave radio. In com-
bination, the systems are used to
automate gas and oil pipelines,
electric utility complexes, and the
operations of railroads.

The ConiTeEL™ 2000 supervis-
ory and control system—new from
Automatic Electric—can report
the status of 180 devices in as lit-
tle as .290 seconds.



Lenkurt’s new Journal Data
Transmission transmits “hotbox”
information instantly so railroad
controllers may stop trains before
costly accidents occur.

Automatic remote control is just
one of many ways GT&E is serv:
