Arts Night -- what is it? It?sa
chance to see your friends exhibit
talent you never knew they had (or

H'ford Role in May Day

To Be Discussed Monday

Starting next Monday, Undergrad
will hold two open town-meeting
discussions each month, The first
for April 17, will revolve around
Haverford’s role in May Day and
other traditions.

Undergrad’s new monthly pro-
gram includes, besides the open
discussions on firstand third Mon-
days, a session for committee re-

' ports on the second Monday. Every
fourth Monday there will be no
meeting.

Because the hall representa-
tives have been inactive, the com-
mittees are being opened to them
and also to -the entire student
body. Descriptions and lists for
the committees will be in Taylor
until. Monday afternoon. :

The May Day problem will be
the topic of the first discussion.
Due to the problems with the raid
and the subsequent arrests last
year, the administration has stated
that too much trouble will cause
the end of all May Day celebra-
‘tions. Two may-poles have already

Self-Gov’s Open Meeting Considers
Response to Haverford Hours Change

by Kit Bakke

‘*Is spending the night at Haver-
ford an automatic discredit to Bryn
Mawr College?’

These and other questions were
discussed at the Self-Gov open
meeting Wednesday, April 5, The
me » Said Self-Gov President
D e Gilpin, was supposed to
allow students to air their feelings
on the matter of the new Haverford
hours changes, First, Haverford
Students’ Council President Gene
Ludwig, and senior reps Steve
Faust and-Tom Currie explained
the situation at Haverford, which
said Ludwig, was “fantastically
complex--we spend meetings and
meetings trying to figure them
(the new rules) out,”’* They read
these rules (which abolish hours
for girls on campus), the Board
of Managers’ statements on them

March Tomorrow in NYC
Will Climax Vietnam Week

Vietnam Week will end with a
national demonstration at the
United Nations in New York to-
morrow, and with a wrap-up dis-
cussion at Bryn Mawr on Sunday.

April 8-15 was set aside by a
national student committee as a
period of intense concentration
on Vietnam. The week’s program
at Bryn Mawr and Haverford has
offered different kinds of oppor-
tunities to consider and express
concern about the war and related
issues, .

Tuesday, April 11, the Social
Action Committees. of Bryn Mawr
and Haverford, (sharing speakers
-with Temple, Penn, and Swarth-
more), helda teach-in at Haverford.

Tran Van Dinh, an ex-Viet Minh
general, Robert Browne, an Eco-
nomics Professor at Dickinson who
worked for the United States as

“by Aristophanes.

an advisor in Vietnam, John Mc-
Dermott, who writes for the Nation,

and Viet-Report, andCarol Bright- ‘

man, Editor of Viet-Report and a
recent visitor to North Vietnam,
spoke, Eugene Schneider, Pro-
fessor of Sociology at Bryn Mawr,
and Phillip Lichtenberg of the
Bryn Mawr Department of Social
Work, led a discussion on ‘‘Ameri-
can Society and theWar.’’
Wednesday night in Erdman, a
group of Bryn Mawr and Haver-
ford students under the direction
of Bob Sinclair, presented a read-
ing of ‘‘Lysistrata,’’ a peace play
Mr. Lattimore
lent his help in the initial stages.
Last night, two showings of the

.film ‘*Time of the Locust’? were

held at Haverford.
The Social Action Committee
(Continued on page 8).

when they passed them (which the
boys were quick in Saying weren’t
binding on their Council), and then
answered questions on the practi-
cal side of the changes,

Ludwig stated that one of the rea-
sons for the changes was that prior
to them, the Honor system was
often looked on with cynicism, es-
pecially by the upperclassmen, The
new rules, or lack thereof, he hopes
will act as a ‘‘major aid to educa-
tion’? but they will go back to
the old system if they don’t work,

As for Bryn Mawr’s part, Lud-
wig emphasized that for the new
System to work, any complaints
by Bryn Mawr girls absolitely must
be made known to the Haverford
Council, or nothing constructive
can be done about them, Commun:
ication channels must be wide open
all the time between the two
schools, and this will be all the
more important if some of the
Bryn Mawr Self-Gov constitutional
changes are approved,

On the issue of overnights to Hav-
erford, it seems clear that the pre-
sent constitution does not disallow
them. The only addition to it, the
statement made by the old Self-Gov
board before vacation, was intended
to be only temporary and was also
only advisory.

Opinion of the group present,
about 50 girls, was divided. Some
felt that Self-Gov should not say
either that it approves or disap-
proves of overnight sign-outs to
Haverford, but that Bryn Mawr
girls be acutely aware of their re-
sponsibilities to the college com-
munity and the surrounding com-
munity as well as to themselves,

In other words, they see. a state-

ment ofan approach similar to Hav-
erford’s, leaving the ultimate deci-
sion to the student.

Another group expressed a worry
for the ‘‘weakest member’? who

' wouldn’t be able to conduct properly



her life without a definite ruling,
and about those who would be hurt
if the reputation of the college be-
came subject to scandal.

. Some students wondered if the
discredit clause was strong enough
to stand up under the added pres-
sure of overnight sign-outs to Hav-
erford, even. though it seems to

apartments and other colleges,
Some questioned the whole phil-
osophy behind the discredit clause
and thought maybe it wasn’tas con-
cerned about the well-being of the
student as it was with the reputa-
tion of the college,

Besides the problem with the
question of whether morals ought
to be legislated, there was the ques-
tion of whether they could be legis-
lated,’ whether a ‘‘no overnights to
Haverford’’ ruling could be realis-
tically enforced. es

Both these concerns, however,
ignore the issue of whether an over-
night to Haverford really isa prob-
lem of morals at all, Itseems that
this may be the basic spliton cam-
pus--between those who think over-

Grappling With Principles

Before we went to the Self-Gov meeting
on the. question of overnight sign-outs to
Haverford, we thought the issue was fairly
clear-cut and straight forward, We knew
exactly what would be the best solution
and we thought it was self-evident. At the
end of several hours of discussion it be-
came obvious that it wasn’t that clear to
everyone else. For purposes of the fur-
ther discussion we hope will take place,
the following is the position of the NEWS,

Our first premise is that staying over-

“night at Haverford is not something which

should be done secretly and guiltily. Sim-
ply staying overnight at Haverford does not
necessarily constitute dishonor under the
Haverford honor system or discredit under
our discredit clause, Which comes down to
saying either that sexual intercourse will
not result from every overnight or that such
an act might not be a dishonor or a dis-

credit, oe

So our second premise is that the empha-
sis of our discredit clause is amazingly
misplaced, It is primarily concerned with
the well-being of the College, the ‘‘pres-
tige of the College,’’ ‘‘its reputation in
the public’s eye.’’ It is not particularly
directed to the welfare of the student and .
her exercising her growing abilities to
choose and decide her pattern and style
of life. This is unfortunate,

To quote President Hugh Borton of Hav-
erford, in his letter to Students’ Council
concerning their changes:

We agree with the Students’ Coun- °
cil that arbitrary rules are seldom
effective determinants of proper con-
duct of good human relations, or of
personal growth. Personal growth
is likely to take’ place when students
are both free and obligated to grapple
with the principles involved and to con-
sider the possible consequences of
their actions and also when a student
has access. to guidelines or bench-
marks against which he can test his
own actions and knowingly place them
in a better perspective.

President Borton has combined the two
extremes--freedom and rules--to get
‘‘guidelines,’®? The genius of this blend
Should be clear: freedom without license;

standards without arbitrariness, |
From the first premise we argue’ that
personal relationships are exactly that--
PERSONAL--and that it cannot be decreed —
that every overnight in every case to Hav-
erford (that is another oddity of the situa-
tion--apparently overnights to other
schools and to apartments are acceptable)
is automatically equivalent to a dishonor
and a discredit. From the second premise
we argue that it is more important, both
for the individual and for the school, for
the Bryn Mawr student to openly ‘‘grap-
ple... with the principles involved and to
consider the possible consequences’? of
her actions rather than spend her time
and energies figuring out how to hide it
afterwards from the public’s eye,”’

We submit from ‘these ideas a possible
Self-Gov statement:
Bryn Mawr women shall take into ac-
count their position in the college com-
_ munity as students and their position
in the surrounding community as vis-
itors in all their actions, both on and
off campus. They shall respect the
privacy ofothers, andmost important-
ly, shall understand and uphold their
: own integrity.





‘‘They have made a desert and called
it peace,’’ --Tacitus.

The COLLEGE NEWS supports the aims
of the Spring Mobilization Committee to
End the War in Vietnam and urges every
student to carefully consider its purposes,
and then, if possible, to join the march
in New York tomorrow at noon in Central
Park Sheep’s Meadow and at 3:00 at the

U.N,







Letters to the Editor







Election Procedure

To the Editor;

‘While I would question the value
of the required vote, I think the
preferential ballot is an indispen-
sable part of our election system.
The beauty of preferential voting
lies in the fact that it works
exactly as a run-off system does,
but requires much less time and
only one ballot. In effect, it is
a series of run-offs; each time
a candidate is eliminated, each
voter has already indicated on her
ballot which of the remaining
Candidates she would vote for in
a run-off. (If a person has no
preference after her first choice,
then by indicating none she has
indicated that we would abstain
in a run-off.)

Thus in the Big Six election
mentioned in the letter to the
NEWS (March 17), candidate A
would have won by plurality; but
when all voters were givena choice
between the top two candidates
(A and B), as would have occurred
in a run-off, it was discovered
that more people preferred B to
A. B was therefore elected by a
majority of all the voters.

Those whose first preference
candidates are eliminated do not
have more votes, or more of a
voice, than those whose candidates
remain in the running, In each
‘trun-aff”? €each time a candidate
is eliminated), EVERYONE votes,
again; it is only assumed (and I
think it is a fair assumption) that
anyone who gives her first
preference to a candidate when
she is one of four would vote for
her again if she were one of two--

_ that is, the voter would not change
her mind,

Further, second and third pref-
erences should not be devalued

=. simply because they are far down

on the list; a person may prefer
#3 over #4 just as strongly as she
prefers #1 over #2; or she may
want #4 to lose just.as strongly
-as she wants #1 to win. Suppose,
for Smmpia, that a candidate could

candidate who received 30% of the

‘votes, with the other three candi-

dates receiving around 23% apiece,
would then win the election. But
it is possible that the 70% who did
not vote for her. were voting
specificially AGAINST her, and to
indicate this, put her as their last
preference, In such a case an
election by plurality would be
directly opposed to the wishes
of the majority. For this reason
I think a majority should be re-

‘quired for an election to be

decided.

As_to the point that there are
too many elections: first, there
are - only two campus-wide
elections--one for presidents, the
other for vice presidents ET AL.
This does not include primaries
(which can’t be eliminated) or
run-offs because of ties(whichare
generally rare, this being a vintage
year). If, as suggested, there were
only one campus election, pre-
eeded by a primary and followed
by a. run-off, the number of elec-
tions would be decreased at the
most by only one,

Second, and more important,
there ARE years when a person
defeated in a presidential election
wants to run for vice president
of the same organization, and I
don’t think it is fair to take away
the opportunity. This could mean
a loss to the organization, and it
could conceivably lead to potential
presidents’ running for vice presi-
dent instead, out of fear of losing
the presidential race and with it a
position in the organization.

Admittedly the election proce-
dure is long, and it tends to become
tedious; but for the above reasons
I don’t think it is desirable to
reduce the number of campus
elections to fewer than two. A
revision or elimination of the
‘dinner system, if it seems ad-
visable on other grounds, could
shorten the procedure somewhat.

Where It Is

To The Editor:

In your issue of February 10,
1967 (which arrived only a few
days ago, though Pm not com-
plaining, mind you) there appeared
a long letter from an unidentified
parent of a Bryn Mawr student
strongly opposing ‘‘any liberali-
zation of existing curfew regu-
lations’’ at the college, As a par-
ent of a Bryn Mawr student, I
wish to express my substantial
agreement with the views setforth
in that letter, I was particularly
struck by this observation of your
correspondent:

“College like life, does not

guarantee happiness, HAPPI-

NESS IS ACHIEVED NOT BY

PURSUIT, BUT COMES ASA

BY-PRODUCT OF MORE

STRENUOUS AND DEMAND-

ING PURSUITS, (emphasis

mine),

The late Simone Weil (whom
some of you may have read) at the
age of 26, while working as a
common laborer in a factory, wrote
as follows to one of her former
students at the Lycee where she
had once taught philosophy:

“Your letter dismayed me, If

the knowledge of as many sen-

sations as possible continues
to be your main objective--
as a passing phase itis normal
at your age--you won’t get far,
-T liked it much better when you
said you aspired to contact
with real life, You think it’s
the same thing perhaps; but
in fact it is just the opposite,
There aré people who have
lived by and for nothing but
sensations; Andre Gide is an
example, What they really are
is the dupes of life; and as
they are confusedly aware of

this they always fall into a

profound melancholy which

they can only assuage by ly-

ing miserably to themselves,
- For the reality of life is not
sensation but activity--I mean
activity in both thought and .
action, People who live by
sensations are both
materially ged: morally, -in ix?

2 demneaseceienr te iii gat



relation to those who work
and create--who alone are
men, And the latter, who do
not seek sensations, exper-
fence in fact much livelier,
profounder, less artificial,
and truer ones than those who
seek them, Finally, as far as
I am concerned, the cultivation
of sensations implies an
egoism which revolts me, It
clearly does not prevent love, —
but it leads one to consider
the people one loves as mere
occasions of joy or suffering
and to forget completely that
they exist in their own right,
One lives among phantoms,
dreaming instead of living,

Simone Weil died in 1943 at
the age of 34, The late Albert
Camus who personally supervised
the posthumous publication of many
of her works described her as ‘‘the
only great spirit of our time,’
T, S, Eliot called her ‘‘a woman of
genius, of a kind of: genius akin
to that of the saints’? and again
‘a great soul and a brilliant mind,”’
Sir Herbert Read spoke of her only
a few weeks ago in ‘‘the Saturday
Review’’ as the ‘‘greatest spiritual
writer’? of our time, Alfred Kazin
referred to her works as ‘‘a book
so FUNDAMENTAL and so ob-
viously written by someone in
whom honesty was a kind of genius
and whose genius was an untiring
grasp of things usually hidden too
deeply for us toacknowledge..,.”’
And interestingly enough Andre
Gide who was probably unaware at
the time of the letter from which
Pve quoted, characterized her as
**the most spiritual writer of this
century,”’

It is my great hope for my
daughter, and Iwould wish the same
for her colleagues at Bryn Mawr,
and for all students wherever they
may be, that they too will come to
realize the truth of the obser-
vation made by Simone Weil and
your unknown (to me) correspond-
ent, ,

A Cast of Tens

To ‘the Editor: BD

The. Producer, Robin Johnson,
has asked me to thank you for
your fine coverage of the forth-
coming ‘Das Nibelungenlied,’’
However, I feel I must call your
attention--and that of your read-
ers--to a printing error which
one of your subordinates must
have carelessly overlooked, Upon
discovering it, the Producer be-
came incensed and was render-
ed speechless for three days,
after which she was able only
with difficulty to communicate to
me the cause of her distress,

I do not even wish to go into
the matter of your perverse and
persistent removal of Brunn-
hilde’s . umlaut, I refer here
to two instances in which the
Producer was quoted as having
employed ‘‘a cast of ten,’?

Ten! Ten! The better-educated
members of your staff might have ~
been , able to count. eleven
cast members in the picture you
so generously included, and in-
ferred from this some ‘facetious-
ness or mathematical ignorance
on the Producer’s part, Far from
it! If the Producer had been trying
to be specific (as she so seldom
is), surely she would have said
*a cast of thirty-four,’® including
all the extras, But when Cecil
B, DeMille was asked how many
Egyptians were Swallowed up by
the- Red Sea in ‘‘The Ten Com-
mandments,”” did he reply,
No! and neither
is our Producer so small-minded,
Let this spurious ‘‘cast of ten,’

‘then, be revealed as what it was

meant to be, as we proudly de-
clare on billboard and marquee
that ours is a cast of tens,

THE COLLEGE NEWS

afford--intellectually,



Open Letter to the College Community

The modern university cannot
academi-
cally or ‘financially--to be an iv-
ory tower. Needed funds are

‘brought to the .campus through’

research grants, government con-
tracts, and the contributions the
prestige of these activities attract.
The university itself becomes a
more exciting place, for profes-
sors are able to use their skills
and perspectives to attack signi-

ficant problems while students feel.

that important. thinking--in which
they are sometimes included--is
taking place on their campus.

Academic Responsibility

It is, in fact, the responsibi-
lity of ‘the academic community
to engage in research, analysis of
present government operations, or
development of solutions to prob-
lems confronting our society. Per-
haps today only the university pos-
sesses the means, the structure
and the prestige to raise and co-
herently discuss fundamental

questions confronting our society...

Much protest and criticism of US
foreign policy has recently ema-
nated from the academic com-
munity, and this is as it should
be; however, if the intellectuals
wish to retain their platform of
influence, they must be construct-
ive as well as critical.

Being constructive involves ana-
lysis of the underlying causes and
possible consequences of a line of
thought or ofa certain policy, but
more important it means a re-
sponsibility to debate publicly the
fundamental questions behind a
particular situation.

The case of the Air Force con-
tract Spicerack is one where the
university in the form of Bryn
Mawr College has. failed this re-

x sponsibility. This contract, whose

details we shall explain later, has
been carried out under the auspices
of Dr. Knut Krieger of the Uni-

_versity of Pennsylvania at the

recently abolished Institute for
Cooperative Research (ICR). As
the ICR was abolished, partly be-

- cause of student and. faculty pres-

sure against having such research
carried out on the Penn campus,

“ another place had..to.be found for

Air Force to transfer the con-

tract to the University City Science.
Center, of which Bryn. Mavr is a.

shareholder. UCSC, is closely
associated with Penn, and - Penn
owns a majority of the stock; BMC,
Haverford, Swarthmore, Lehigh,

Temple, Drexel, and others being

minor owners.

Knowledge of the nature of this
contract and the kind of research
it entails has come out through
a series of hearings at Penn last
December, two January SCIENCE
articles,- the June/July VIET-
REPORT and the August RAM-
PARTS, The evidence is well-
documen that this contract is
intimately bound up with a mili-
tary program of biological and
chemical warfare. The ICR An-
nual Report for 1964-1965 states
that this project and a joint one
from the Army labelled Summit
‘fare engaged in analyses of the
performance of weapons systems
for the purpose of developing data
to assist in determining the final
direction of research and develop-
ment .... For example, a study
of limited warfare targets was re-
cently completed in which it was
determined that target descrip-
tions could be reduced to three
interdependent parameters -with
the result that many new weapons
systems concepts can be screened
for probable usefulness far more
systematically than was possible
before.’?

Public Health in Reverse

Biological warfare in general,
and the Spicerack contract in par-
ticular, is not basic science, that
is, it is not seeking to increase
man’s knowledge of the world.
Dr. Krieger has not published any-
thing in a journal of his field
since he took over the projects.
It is applied science, whose end,
according to a bulletin from the
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare (July 1959) is to
‘‘cause death, disability, or dam-
age in man, animals or plants ...
(it) has been aptly described as
public health in reverse.’’ The
Geneva Protocol of 1925 outlaws
it. The Council of the Federation
of American Scientists has sup-
ported a letter written by twenty
two American scientists, including
Nobel laureates, asking

of such weapons in Vietnam, where
they have been used to kill

_ thousands of acres ofrice.(Presi-

dent Harnwell of Penn even ad-
mitted once that Dr. Krieger’s pro-
jects were related to activities
in the Mekong Dalts area of Viet-

‘nam.)

This situation of university per-
sonnel staffing a project not only
devoid of academic interest but
devoid of all human value is one
of the major traps for a university
which accepts government con-
tracts (particularly for applied
scientific research). A grant is
awarded to do a small piece ofa
larger work, and no one asks about
the nature of the over-all proj-
ect. This is negating the
major responsibility and the whole
justification behind academic in-
volvement in government and
research work. A university should
not take on a project auto-
matically--no matter how harm-
less it may seem--but must
first find out whether the project
is of the sort which should be at-
tempted at all.

The Bryn Mawr community, it
seems, has never asked the basic
question of what the purpose of this
contract is. The college has shun-
ned its responsibility, for it is
neither raising the issues involved
nor bringing them into the open
for public debate. Meanwhile steps
are being taken to. transfer this
research to a partly Bryn-Mawr-
owned corporation.

Intellectual Integrity

Perhaps we, who believe that the
college should not involve itself
with such warfare activity, are
mistaken, so that the first thing
that must be done is for every-
body to discuss the problem it-
self. Hopefully, there will be a
series of meetings next week to

_ study the issues and to develop a

coherent stand. The issue raised
is one of intellectual integrity, and
it is the responsibility of those of
us at Bryn Mawr--for the integrity
of all of us is threatened--to find
out what is happening and to pre-
vent a mistake from being made.

Negro Students Attack

American Racial Problem

-by Valerie Hawkins

Negroes on campuses across
the country are combining their
talents and energies ina revitaliz-
ed attack on the poverty and
oppression of black people in Am-
erica,

At the Princeton Conference
for Negro Undergraduates (March
30-31) delegates from over fifty
colleges and universities met to
discuss various aspects of the
theme, ‘‘The Future of the Negro
Undergraduate,”*

One of the focal points was the
problem of the student in coming
to grips with his own negritude,
or racial identity. This led to a

-second point, which was the need ©

for ‘‘strong positive and. sincere

-commitment to the rights’ of our.

people, as those rights begin to
become a reality within the con-
text of American culture’’
and for ‘‘integrating, our intellects

with definite action programs both -

on and off campus,’?

The conference workshops were
designed to put these ideas into
action, The various groups were
concerned with the fields of ed-
ucation, business and industry,

Calendar Change
For Next Year

The Curriculum Committee
will -soon be distributing a
questionnaire on next year’s cal-
endar according to Nicky Harden-
bergh, who is heading the
Calendar Committee, Although the
beginning and ending dates of the
next academic year have already
been decided on, the Committee
hopes to do some juggling within
these fixed limits, The purpose
of the questionnaire is to ap-
praise the ideas of Bryn
Mawr students on how they would
like their time arranged,

One current proposition under
consideration is to let classes run
in the fall until December 22,
This would make Christmas va-
cation begin later, but extend
into the middle of January, Stu-
dents would return to a read-
ing period and exams, Papers

The Haverford Calendar Com-
mittee, which has beer working
in cooperation, with Bryn Maw’s,
has already compiled the results
of their calendar questionnaire,
A majority of Haverford students
approved of ending classes before
Christmas, and also wanted papers
in before vacation, .

Freedom Involved: | in Key System
— Agrees With Self-Gov Philosophy |

~by Carol Reische, "69 -
Vivian Siderators, °69

Despite. the amount of discussion devoted
to the newly-proposed key system, _it

seems that the most important aspect .

of the system has become obscured. The
philosophy motivating the key.system is

in no way antithetical to the philosophy .

which is allegedly behind the Bryn Mawr
College self-government honor system.
That is, it is in noaay antithetical to the
notion of an individual functioning success-
fully within a structured, body. Not only
is this fact often overlooked, but in many
discussions concerning the key system,
students often tend to forget the fact

that there is a philosophy inherent in:

this system and one which must be recog-
nized and observed if the system is ever
to function effectively. The key system
does. relegate more freedom to each
individual member of the community,

but it does not relegate this freedom:



This page is devoted to articles
submitted through Drewdie Gil-
pin, Self-Gov President, on the
proposed changes in the Self-
Gov constitution concerning the
long sign-out which introduces
keys and eliminates the 2:00
a.m. curfew. Hopefully, these
changes will be fully and seri-
ously considered before the
final vote is taken.







without also relegating more responsi-
bility to the individual, Both of these
considerations of increased freedom and
of increased responsibility are equally
important and mutually interdependent
facets of the system and unless they
function as such, the key ‘system is not
functioning properly. Under akey system,
each student would be allowed to exercise

a. maximal amount of autonomy With regard:
to one very important aspect of her life.
This autonomy is: granted in acknowledge-'

ment of the fact that each student at Bryn
Mawr is an individual who is mature

Other Women’s Schools
Experiment With Keys

by Lynn _Ahwesh ’68

In order to work out a possible key
system for Bryn Mawr, the Self-Gov
executive board has been investigating
the systems now in use at other women’s
colleges. Those of Radcliffe, Goucher,
and Mt, Holyoke show some helpful ways
of coping with different problems.

The first question is who will have a
key. At Radcliffe, everyone is issued
her own key. There is no charge, and
if a girl loses her_ key, she pays a
small fine and receives a new one.
Freshmen have keys, but they may sign
out only until 1 a.m., or until 3 a.m.
with special permission. At the other
two colleges, only seniors .are eligible
to use keys. «

Another question that. has arisen is
how to prevent loss of keys. Goucher’
solves this problem by keeping 4ll the
keys at their central switchboard, which
is open>all night. A girl must notify
the receptionist what time she plans
_to return to campus. When she comes
back, the receptionist gives her a key
with a number which is recorded. Once
inside the dorm, the girl drops the key
into a box, The keys are collected in
the morning, never having left the campus,
Mt Holyoke’s solution to this. problem
; rather simpler and more direct; keys




and capable both of making decisions
regarding. her own behavior and‘also of
accepting the responsibility which these
decisions inevitably entail. It is only,
through a system in which the individual.
comes to regard herself as mature and
responsible that -we can ever have a:
vigorous community, for the community '
here is nothing more than a composite’
of its members. {

As the situation stands now, we have,

an outwardly stable appearing community
which is hardly inwardly stable. We

find that under the present system, sta- .

are not given the freedom to make choices

community.
the individual’s irresponsibility and weak-
ness not only from the community at
large but also from the individual in-
volved, Because students are compelled
to conform to a set of rules which they
may neither accept nor understand, they
are faced with a series of alternatives.
They may find themselves blindly ad-
hering to a rule or rebelliously breaking
it. In -either case an understanding of
the system is completely lacking. The
key system would hopefully remedy this
situation, Students would no longer be

they could discover no real reason: to

Some Anticipate Difficulties
Because of Responsibilities

by Peg Heston '67
Ann Platt "68

Since so much discussion has arisen
over the proposed key system, it would
perhaps be useful to summarize the main
objections which have been raised, These
reservations seem to fall into three main
categories: the technical problems; re-
sponsibility for ~the individual. student;
and the effect on the entire college com-
munity.

Since other colleges have developed
workable key systems, the technical pro-
blems are obviously not insurmountable,
but they need to be considered more than
they have been in the present plan. The
outstanding. difficulty seems to be that
of security. Key losses are bound to
occur, and’ in some cases this might
necessitate replacement of a dormitory’s
keys and locks. This would be not only
a nuisance but also an expense which the:
administration would not be willing to
meet very often. Consequently, this
financial burden might rest on the students,
Another consideration is who should decide
when these locks and keys need replacing.
Then there is the problem of who checks
the books at 8 a.m. and who changes
signouts at late hours, These would be
unreasonable duties to require of a hall
president.

There are two aspects to the respon-
‘sibility for the students’ welfare. What
protection will a girl have if she wants
to go to the Comet at 2:15, but knows
that no one will look for her. until eight
the >next» morning if something should
happen? Less tangible, but more im-
portant, is the’ issue of emotional well-
being. A seventeen or eighteen-year-
old is not necessarily experienced enough
to make decisions which may be more
important for her than she realizes,
Does this amount of freedom really fos-
ter emotional maturity at age eighteen?

Since we view Bryn Mawr as a com-
munity that extends beyond the student

body, we must consider what effect a
Chanen. 66 is gengniiede: All Revs. on..



students would come to view the dorm
only,as a place to eat and (occasionally)

sleep; mightn’t this view have dire effects.

on the solidarity of the dorm as the
basic unit of the college community?

Perhaps this article seems unduly pes-
simistic. Its purpose is not to imply
that the key system can’t work or shouldn’t
be given a chance, but rather to suggest

~-that—there are many potential problems

which must be Considered and worked out

before we try to instate a change of these~

proportions.

Unforeseen Overnights
May Cause Problems

The 1966-67 Self-Gov President, Jane
Janover, has proposed @ new signout
policy of unlimited lates to*be added
to the constitutional ‘revision ballot by
the Self-Gov Executive Board. Under the
system which the Constitutional Revision
Committee has proposed, any girl wishing
to be out past 2 a.m. must sign out till
8 a.m., taking a key with her in order
to. be able to re-enter the dorm, should
she so desire, between 2 and 8. Jane
believes that under such a system a girl
planning to stay out till perhaps 3 or 4
will find herself staying out until 8 a.m.
without having decided to stay out over-
night, simply because such a course of
action is easier than, for example, in-
sisting to her date that she wants
to come home. Believing that a girl should
make an active decision if she is going
to stay out all night at a party or an
apartment or dormitory, Jane has
proposed that a girl wishing to come in
after 2 but before 8, when the dormitory
reopens, should request from her
hall president permission to return at an
hour which the girl would name. On her
honor. to return by the time she had

stated, the girl would use her key to ~
get into the dorm. There would be no

limit on late permissions.










In making this decision,
and in having sole responsibility for the.

period that we must each at least attempt
to realize our own ideals and our own
philosophies, A system which asks us
to accept unthinkingly and follow a set
of rules and to relegate our responsi-
‘bilities to another party does not give’
us this opportunity. An essential part,
of our experience here involves formu-
lating and executing ideas. This should
not be relegated merely to the academic
sphere; it is also an important part of
the social sphere. We are not com-
partmentalized individuals and it is
necessary for us to assert our maturity
in each of these spheres.

The practical aspects of the key sys-
-tem have not even been considered here;
rather, what we have been concerned with
has been the philosophy. Bryn Mawr

. College likes to consider itself as a

community of icdividuals.. Therefore we

.-must have a community whose structure

i

allows enough latitude for its members
to function as individuals, We are ac-
customed to considering ourselves as
mature individuals, Now we must be
given and must assume full responsi-
bility for our actions. It is possible
that there exist systems which allow
more latitude for individual action and
responsibility.. The key imped is the
most flexible yet proposed.

and Dean Cortland Van R, Halsey of ~

Amherst College summed up their op-
posing views on the issue of curfews
and student responsibility which is pre-
occupying students and faculty. all
over the country. :
Behind the abolition of curfews for
students, usually only juniors and
seniors, in schools ranging from
Kansas University to Bard College lie
some provocative considerations, Es-
sentially, the question is whether
such unlimited freedom leads the student
towards greater maturity or simply to-

“wards anarchy,

Both responses were supplied by the
Amherst College faculty, ‘‘The hours
question is an adjunct of a larger issue,”
said Professor Dwight M, Scandrett, in
reply to a student poll of twenty-six facul-
ty members, This issue concerns
‘‘whether individuals should follow only
rules they agree with, That is anarchy,
The issue is responsibility versus
anarchy. Student government is drifting

toward anarchy,’?



On the other hand, an anonymous ‘Am-
herst professor declared, ‘Students
should regulate their own hours coe if
a kid is sufficiently intelligent to. get
into college and sufficiently important
to society to waste all this time on
education, they why the hell shouldn’t,

that in legislating on the matter

were trespassing on the “students’
business,””

H’ford-Bryn Mawr Meal Exchange Students Discuss
Still Presents Several Problems

Academic meal exchange tickets
are now distributed to Bryn Mawr
students in the Pagoda behind the
Comptroller’s. Weekend social
tickets can be obtained from Greg
Wilcox at Haverford,

In hopes of expanding and
simplifying the meal exchange pro-
gram, interested parties met
at Haverford on Tuesday, Repre-
senting the student viewpoint
were Susie Orbeton, Greg Wilcox,
and Gene Ludwig. Comptrollers
Smith and Klug of Haverford and
Bryn Mawr, respectively, were
also there, and Ed Grant of Slater
and Frank Daley of Saga.

The students proposed a plan
to have each student taking ad-
vantage of meal exchange
pay a small surcharge on every
meal in order to compensate for
the unavoidable expense to the
food services, Both food serv-
ices and comptrollers found
this impractical, They felt that the



administrative mechanisms in-
‘golved in the plan were un-
manageable, They rejected a
subsequent proposal to simply ex-
pand the number of weekday meal
tickets as too costly. (The services
are already losing money on the
exchange system), Both the stu-
dents and those representing
the food services are anxious to
find an efficient and economical
system, and when possible, it will
be instituted,

graduate who was, while in col-
lege, caught up in Rand’s apperl,
as are many students who are
‘yet unsure of what their goals:
and philosophy of life should be.

‘*The Fountainhead seemed so
moral to me, so upright and clean
and clear and logical,’ says a
young career woman. “I read it
when I was at Bryn Mawr. I
was brought up a Roman Catholic
and I had begun to think religion
was hypocritical, full of myths.
I suppose I was looking for another
code, and she gave it to me. It
was simple and direct. I became
so involved with individualism that
I was a bitch for three years, and

everybody blamed it on Bryn
Mawr.’ ””
The COLLEGE NEWS was

mentioned in the Col-

men to serve on the committee. A
ratio of about one representative
to every twenty-five students in
the hall will be maintained, except
in the language houses which will
have one representative regard-
less of the number of- residents.

Next September,’ each hall ‘will, .
in. addition, elect one freshman
representative to the committee.

Exceptions are. Erdman _ and
Rhoads, which will select two
freshmen, and the language

houses which will not have fresh-
men representatives at all.

From the body of the committee
elected this April an Executive
Board will be chosen, consisting
of a Chairman, Vice Chairman,
Corresponding and Recording
Secretaries, Treasurer, one
Freshman representative and
heads of the standing committees.
New hall representatives will be
elected: to replace members of
this Board.

The first major item of busi-
ness facing the new Curriculum
Committee is the issue of calendar
revision. For more on this ques-
tion, see the article on page 3.

Sue Nosco also has some proj-
ects inherited from the old
Curriculum Committee. Already
under way is a comprehensive
interviewing campaign. Juniors
and seniors in all major fields
are being questioned thoroughly
for their views on the organiza-
tion and presentation of their
major programs. This poll is
being carried on with the co-
operation of the faculty and is the
students’ contribution to the
investigations on curricula with-
in the major departments by the
Student-Faculty Curriculum Com-
mittee.

(Continued from page 2)

A Lesson in Futility

To the Editor:

The methods used in. the fire
drills on this campus seem to be
defeating the very purpose of their
existence.

It seems to us necessary that
all drills make use of only the
fire escapes, What is the point
of running all the way down the
hall to a wooden staircase which
is likely .to burst into flamés
half way down if not before the
student arrives at it? Fire es-
capes are the fastest and safest
method of leaving one of these
dormitories during a fire, and
the reaction of a student should
be to immediately exit from the
building by way of the fire es-
eape (this reaction should be-
come automatic), We feel that the
use of the staircases should be
abolished in ALL fire drills. Some
dorms do not even have fire es-
capes, and we suggest that the
administration make this a re-
quirement of all buildings on cam-
pus.

We feel that the use of fire ex~
tinguishers in each hall should
not be forbidden as they are at
the moment. Not only do we. ad-
vocate student use of fire equip-
ment, but we consider it vital
that lessons in the use of this
equipment be given at the be-
ginning of each year, How many
students actually know the exact
locations of the local alarms in
their buildings and how to use
them?

Why not investigate the possi-
bility of a more efficient method
of calling in the fire department.
A dime in the mailbox of the hall
fire captain seems a poor sub-
stitute for an alarm system which
would summon the firemen.

Finally, if the. purpose of the
fire drills is to enable the stu-,
dents to save their lives by quickly
fleeing from the buildings, why
are the employees and wardens
not included in the drill? Is the
purpose of this exercise ta save
the student body and allow em-
ployees to perish in the flames?

We suggest that the fire cap-
tains, the administration, and the
fire department meet to discuss
these problems which make the
entire fire drill system a lesson:

ras s Expo 67 Festival -

To Bring a “Unique irclatvaitiidad?

by Mary Lowe ited |

Anyone wondering what to do
with his summer would be well
advised to consider Canada’s Expo
67 -- the Universal and Interna-
tional Exhibition. of 1967, to be
héld.in Montreal from April 28th
to October 27th.

The World Festival, Expo’s pro-
gram of performing arts and ac-
tivities, promises to be truly as
exciting as Montreal’s fervent
brochures proclaim it. Lil

The brochures say the World
Festival is to be ‘‘a unique pro-
gramme of the performing arts,
spectaculars, sports and folk-
loric entertainment from six con-
tinents.””

In the field of opera, it will
include the Vienna State Opera,
the Bolshoi Opera, the Hamburg
State Opera, and the Royal Opera
of Stockholm, among others. Dance
companies will include the Paris

Opera Ballet, the New York City
Ballet, the Australian Ballet,
Dancers from Ceylon, The Royal
Ballet, the Martha Graham Danc-
ers, and many others.

There will also be theatre com-
panies -- the, National Theatre of
Great Britain’ with Sir Laurence
Olivier, the Theatre de France,
the Stratford Festival, the Cameri
Theatre of Israel, the Kabuki Thea-
tre of Japan, and Richard Rod-
gers’ Music Theatre, among many,
MANY others. And orchestras --
the New York Philharmonic’ with
Leonard Bernstein, the Los An-

geles Philharmonic, the Melbourne -

Symphony Orchestra, and Swiss,
French, Czech, Dutch, and Vien-
nese orchestras.

And on, and on, with chamber
music groups and choirs and the
whole works. And that’s just the
entertainment you PAY for. Un-

No More Woodrow Wilsons
As Ford Begins New Scheme

The record sixteen Wilson Fel-
lowships awarded to Bryn Mawr
students this year are in the last
group to be given. On April 9th,
the Ford Foundation in conjunction
with the Universities of California
(Berkeley), Chicago, Michigan,
Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin and
with Cornell, Harvard, Princeton,

and Yale Universities announced a:

major experimental . program
aimed at reforming doctoral educa-
tion in the social sciences and
humanities,

The program will extend over
the next seven academic years,
‘supported by $41.5 millionfrom the
Ford Foundation and $160 million
of the universities’ own resources
and government funds available to
them, The program hopes to cut
the present median Ph.D, comple-
tion time from seven-and-a-half
years to a standard four by pro-
viding aid to candidates throughout
their graduate studies.

_ In conjunction with this plan, the
Ford. Foundation will cut most
support of- the Woodrow. Wilson
National Fellowship program. The
Wilson program, which has re-
ceived $52 million in general sup-

port from Ford since 1958 will now |

get money only to support, its net-
work for recruiting prospective
college teachers for three years,
for some one hundred disertation
fellowships at universities not cov-
ered by the Ford program, and for
about fifty fellowships per year in
Canadian universities (which don’t
get National Defense Education Act
assistance). ,The approximately
3,000 federal fellowships now an-
nually granted in the humanities
and social sciences, the experi-

mental program which will directly
affect some 10,500 Ph.D. students,
and additional Ford Foundation
grants to other graduate schools
are expected to fill the gap left
by the termination of the Wilsons.

In the participating universities
(which award about 30 percent of
all Ph.D.’s), the grants will be
used mainly for student support
(stipends, tuition, and much-ne-
glected dissertation expenses) to
prevent the interruptions for em-
ployment which now extend the
Ph.D. program. The money will
also be used to improve Ph.D,
teaching, provide more supervised
teacher training for the candi-
dates, and consolidate doctoral
programs with regularized sched-
ules, more faculty supervision, and
stricter admissions, review, and
retention policies,

Student Teaches
Six-Week Course

~tn Fortran Il

The Computer Committee,
through its chairman, Dr. John C,
Pruett, recently announced the ar-
rangement of a six-week course
offering in the field of computer
programming. The course is being
presented on a non-credit basis
to almost 90 interested students
and faculty members, and is led
by Joyce Monard, ’68.

The instruction, composed of
both lecture, (two hours weekly),
and laboratory periods, (one hour
weekly), was initiated on March 2,
with an organization session and
general orientation discussion.
Students who complete the planned
work will become fully exposed to
the FORTRAN II language, as well
as gaining sufficient background
training to eventually master Sym-
bolic Language as well.

FORTRAN II is’a widely used
and extremely efficient computer -
operating system which will allow,
for instatice, the proper conduc-
tion of the 1620 computer which
is used on campus. In technical
terms, FORTRAN is a shortened
form of ‘‘Formula Translation,’’
and is therefore, an algebraic com-
piler. A compiler of this nature is
designed as a large set of com-
puter instructions which can deal
in problem-solving procedures
once these have been written down
in a language approximating the
language of the procedure, and
which can p then to produce
from it the ‘proper elementary
machine instructions” that will
resolve the problem,

Each country’s pavilion will have
appropriate entertainment, and
there are even four motorized
troubadour units which will cir-

culate in order to entertain peo-

ple who are waiting in line at
pavilions. Other free attractions
-- logging shows, strolling chan-
sonniers, magicians, and planned

many more.

Madrid Program Announces
Acceptances for This Summer.

The Centro de Estudios His-
panicos en Madrid, the Bryn Mawr
summer program in Spain, has
selected participants for this sea-
son. From Bryn Mawr, Anne Sil-
ver ’69, Nina Daniel ’68, Judy
Liskin 69, Alix Castroviejo "69
and Iidiko Lewis (graduate student)
were accepted. Eugene. Ludwig and
Curtis Glick from Haverford were
selected, and also Beverly and
William Goff. Mr. Guggenheim,
who is director of the parallel
program in France, the Institut
d’Etudes Francaises d*Avignon,
will release those acceptances next
week,

Both programs involve six weeks
of study in one city followed by a
month of free travel. The French
group concludes with ten days in
Paris; the Spanish group tours a
number of cities.

For the first six weeks the stu-

dents, who come from all over the
country and often from abroad, live

with local families and attend
classes given by American and
European professors. The fami-
lies often do not speak English
and give the students a valuable
opportunity to become involved
in ways of life and thought which
can be quite different from ours.

~ Families of vafying economic and .

“social backgrounds participate,
giving students a sense of some of
the more subtle variations in

THE FREE SPIRITS
& The Cats Sredls





French and Spanish society,

In addition, the center cifles,
Madrid and Avignon, have been
carefully selected as cities of

great cultural activity and his-
toric richness. Avignon, for
example, lies in the center of
ancient Roman Gaul; for a cen-
tury it was the seat of the Papacy
and ‘‘supplanted Rome as the capi-

- tal of Christendom” (students may

live in the shadow of: the magni-
ficent Gothic Papal palace and
walk in thei narrow streets beneath
that people used six hundred
years ago.) Wot only this--in ad-
dition Avignothhas become a sum-
mer cultural center, attracting
many of the important Paris
theatre companies, for example,
for its superb drama festival in
late July. Madrid, of course is the
capital of Spain and offers some:
of the most extensive museums and
beautiful architecture in the
world--students attend concerts
and plays and are given the oppor-
tunity to.visit the studios of
several Spanish painters, as well
as to meet various poets, drama-
tists and novelists.

Courses taken at both programs
-carry full Bryn Mawr credit.

THE COLLEGE NEWS

' Friday, April 14, 1967



re

‘When the University of Wash-
ington. in Seattle recently abolished
‘curfews for women, members of
the faculty voiced the following

» statement:

‘*The University does not stand
IN LOCO PARENTIS to its stu-
dents... The University in many
other areas has supported the fund-
amental proposition that under-
graduates are to be treated as
adults, capable of regulating their
own hours.”

Since a liberalization of curfew
rules is pending on the Bryn Mawr
campus, the NEWS thought parents
might be interested in knowing how
a sample of college staff would
interpret the school’s IN LOCO
PARENTIS role, should our rule
change go through.

‘Tt would seem to me,’’ said
political science professor Peter
Bachrach, ‘‘that the college should
‘inform parents ofthe new arrange-
ment, with the understanding that
the college isn’t going to perform
an IN LOCO PARENTIS function
anymore. The responsibility would
then belong squarely with the par-
ents -- if they feel their daughter
isn’t capable of handling such a
privilege, the girl should go some
other place, I trust one of the pur-
. poses of this more liberal rule is

an educational one.”

Mr. Bachrach also cited the
double standard that exists for men
and women in the college com-
munity. If Bryn Mawr girls are
expected to be the intellectual

equals of men, then there should“

be social equality as well; if men
have no curfews, neither should
women.

Mrs. Peter Leach of the English
Department stands in strong op-
position: to the new system. Said
the former Bryn Mawrter: ‘‘I know
student nature -- you takeaboutas
much advantage of privileges as
you can, I’d haté to have someone
disappear from classes for four
weeks and find out she was vaca-
tioning at Haverford.

_ But I don’t much like this IN
LOCO PARENTIS business either.
The faculty member is a new kind
of parent academically, but I don’t
see why. the relationship should be

an extension of the: other kind of:

discipline -- over a student’s spare

time. Under the new system, I.

don’t see how the faculty can ex-
pect“to act IN LOCO PARENTIS,”’
“ Championing the cause of lib-
eralization, Hugo Schmidt of the
German Department expressed
concern that ‘‘sometimes students
come out of college with the ma-
turity of 14-year-olds. People
who are over 18 are grown-ups.



Bryn Mawr students plan-
ning to go to Europe this
summer may take advantage
of the special group fare
available to the students
enrolled at Bryn Mawr’s
Avignon Institute.

The dates of the flights
to and from Paris are JUNE
14 and SEPTEMBER 4, The.
fare is $265.

Anyone interested should
contact Mr. Guggenheim of
the French department be-



.necessarily .

Period. And they should be treated
as such. If parents don’t like it
they should keep them home.

‘*Students should have the choice
of living in the dormitory or off
campus. There should be no limita-
tions on overnight sign-outs. Of
course, the drop-out rate would
be higher -- students without a
good deal of stamina would lose
themselves, but better now than
later. Why. shouldn’t college be
more of a school for life???

‘*It seems to me that the col-
lege’s having a parental role is a
valuable thing,’’ concluded Jay An-
derson of the Chemistry Depart-
ment, He feels that the college
serves as a buffer between the
students, who are mostly minors,
and the community -- for exam-
ple, if the police were to arrest
Viet Nam demonstrations, the col-
lege should bail them out. ‘I
wouldn’t like to see the college
remove itself from a guardian-
ship rolé altogether,’’ he said,
adding that he is in favor of the
curfew rule change.

Assistant Dean Miss McPherson
remarked, ‘I don’t see how the ad-
ministration can come out witha
position until the student body
comes out with something clear.’’
She feels that neither Haverford’s
position on the abolishment oftime
limits for women in the rooms nor
Bryn Mawr’s proposed key-to-
dorms system has been presented
with much clarity.

Self-Gov president Drewdie Gil-
pin stressed that the college is
already in a difficult position,
with such institutions as secret
sign-outs. Liberalization of the
rules will make it even more dif-

is A PRIORI wrong, and those who
question one or both of these im-

plicatioris: that overnights. do’ not

and/or that intercourse is not. in «

Drewdie plans now to set up a
campus-wide committee to conduct
dorm sessions, and then draw up a
questionnaire for. the student body,
before a final statement on Self-
Gov policy toward overnight sign-
outs to Haverford is formulated.



Required Vote

10% of the student body has
signed a petition to bring the
question of the required vote to
a vote of the campus, The re-
quired vote was retained by
legislature before Spring Vacation,
but, only by a slim margin, Under
the rules, this 10% is sufficient
to calla campus referendum, which
will presumably be held as
soon as possible,

rule change will not bring the ad-

‘call for closer coopegation between

Self-Gov and the administration
for the benefit of the parents.’’

One professor commented thay
if the college is to be consistent
in treating the students as adults,
it should perhaps abolish the war-
den system. Said one warden in re-
ply:

‘The warden, an extension of
the administration, is concerned
for the academic and general well-
being of the students in her hall.
Her concern is not manifested
by hawk-like surveillance of the
students’ activities, nor is she in
the position to administer pun-
ishments. ;

‘Relations between human be-
ings are by nature complex and
often subtle; this is even more
the case when the relationship
is one of authority. The warden
has, hopefully, much to offer by
way of intellectual and personal
concern for her fellow students

And truly the amount of con-
fusion on certain points was
staggering. Some freshmen had

- been converted to the ‘‘laissez-

faire’? group--they thought the
honor system applied to academia
only and to hell with the world
elsewise. Some maintained the
‘freedom of choice’? plan--that
the honor system should be a
blanket code under which everyone
used his own discretion. A few
still clung to the ancient idea of
honor--that once one has sworn
to follow the rules the communi-
ty sets up, he obeys those rules
whether he likes them or no; if

Fine Acting and Color Commended
Highly in “A Man for All Seasons”

__ by Robin Brantley

With six Academy Awards and
countless rave reviews behind it,
A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS hardly
needs my recommendation. How-
ever, I too would like to acclaim
the movie.

Some. years ago I saw a worthy
summer stock production of the
play, and I remember being im-

pressed by the beautiful dialogue,

as mainly evidenced in the pun-
gent speeches ofSir Thomas More.
Robert Bolt has adapted his play

“for a screen production directed

by Fred Zinnemann, and the beauti-

| ful speeches remain. More was

a statesman for the King of Eng-
land during the early sixteenth
century, and, because he refused
to sign a document acknowledging
the legality of the marriage of
Henry VIII to Anne Boleyn, was
beheaded for high treason in 1535.
This event forms the plot out-
line for movie.

More, played precisely and mov-
ingly by Paul Scofield, certainly
dominates the story of the movie;
yet within the medium of film he
cannot dominate the screen so
completely as he does the stage.
The gorgeous color of the movie,
the costumes, the scenery, the
music--all present an overwhelm-
ing picture of sixteenth century
England, From the beginning of the
movie, when the camera focuses on
an overcast sky and the huge
sculpted lion figures on the palace
of Cardinal Wolsey, the viewer is
drawn into a spectacular drama.
The camera then moves to the
Thames, where a lone duck swims
at sunset, and one can only re-
joice in the movie’s sense of its
own magnificence. In fact, my only
real objection to the movie is
that it is almost too spectacular.
Not in the sense, certainly, of
BEN HUR or SPARTACUS. with
legions of men and blood thrown
on the screen, but rather with the
unbelievable color of the scenerv
and costumes. I wonder if the mag-
nificence of the color doesn’t de-
tract from the magnificence of
More’s character. I was so busy
gasping at the visible beauty that
I sometimes forgot to look at the
invisible, in More’s complete be-
lief in his moral sense ina time

© when moral sense carried very

little weight among the intrigues

of court life.
Cardinal Wolsey (played by Or-

son Welles), the Lord Chancellor
of England at the beginning of the
movie, tells More, ‘‘If you’d look
facts on without that tolerable

rich

A.



+ emt: atalino ellen ei Se, Slbonline t ITS = - " -




moral sense,” he could be Eng-
land’s most successful statesman.
But it is precisely that ‘moral
sense” which leads More to be-
lieve that statesmen cannot for-
sake their private consciences for
the duties of their country. More’s
conscience forces him to retire
as Chancellor when ‘he can no
longer accede to Henry’s policies,
and it forces him equally to give
up his beloved family and to go
to prison when he will not sign
Henry’s marriage document. (To
me, the most expressive moment
in the entire movie is More’s
parting with his family in a-dank
prison. He loves them dearly, and
he tries so hard to make them
understand that, because of his
love for God and his responsi-
bility to his moral sense, he must
not sign the document.
More breaks under the strain
of his suffering for the only time
in the film, and can only weep
at their leaving. It is only then
that the fullest extent of More’s
immense love for his family, and

through his family for life itself,

shows through amidst his iron-
backed duty to God.) More is a
loner. This.is none more apparent
than when he stands alone in the
middle of a huge room at his
trial, surrounded by angry men
determined to convict him. One
can only writhe with fury at the
injustice done to More; yet I did
not leave the movie with a sense of
futility. More himself leaves hope,
through his courage, that men are
not completely doomed so long as
there remains the small number of
those who are willing to die for
what they believe.

Apart from More’s magnificent
story, there are many moments of
such good acting that the essence.
of the sixteenth century England
seems to have been crystallized
in the picture. In one scene Robert
Shaw, as Henry VIII, steps from his |
boat into the mud. All his courtiers
look at him with fright, now know-
ing whether the great king will
burst into laughter or order some-
one to the tower. They wait for his
cue, and as Henry finally decides
to laugh on this occasion, the
courtiers fall into laughter with’
him. Another short, but almost’
perfect, moment in the film occurs.
in a scene between Henry and Anne!
Boleyn (played by Vanessa Red-,
grave), With a few exact facial,
expressions and about two minutes, ,
Miss Redgrave(in her only appear-
ance in this movie) manages to
convey to the audience exactly why’

1 the old piano to sing their favorite hits from Gotterdammetung iis Fafnir (Pam
(Pris. Robbins), Gunther (Liz Hanna), Kriemhild (Andra Ockes), Siegfried
























Henry VIII made such a big fuss

over marrying Anne Boleyn. Orson

Welles, Windy Hiller (as Lady

Margaret, More’s wife), John Hurt .

(ag Sir Richard Rich)--all make
the,.most excellent use of their
tithe on the screen.

Thinking back to my criticism
of the spectacular nature of the
moyie, I wonder if perhaps the

criticism is unjust. The story of

Sir Thomas More was certainly
not lost in the grandeur of the
epoch, and neither is it really
lost in the grandeur of the movie.

Johnson's "Das Nibelungenlied”
Smashing Success on Screen

Robin Johnson has filmed a

Rockefeller Hall students (except
for dragon ‘“‘head of Pam Barald
borrowed from Pembroke East,’’
as the voluminous credits point
out), and the classic Ring legend
in what .Robin has _ called
“the original story, as it actually
happened.’? Her chef d’oeuvre is
a comic gem, a subtle parody
of the campus, and a cinematic
success.

For example: the camera sweeps

ample of the attention to detail
and timing that makes ‘‘Das

of art,

At the gala premiere in the less

Wednesday evening, April 5,
Robin cautioned her first audience
to imagine that they were the
first audience of the first movie
ever made so that they might for-
give technical imperfections.
For someone who s5
out knowing, as she professes,
*‘nothing about cameras, nothing
about tape recorders, and nothing
about projectors,’’ Robin has pro-
duced, directed, and. filmed
(with assistance from Susan Sar-

the cast) a more than competent
movie with some striking special

effects and fine color photography.
Flaws are, in fact, negligible;
an atonal rendition of ‘‘Green-
sleeves’ is perfectly. coinci-
dent with the singer’s mouth
on film, even though the entire
soundtrack, which runs through-

out the hour-long film (not count-.

ing the one unrecorded in-
termission), was created after
all the filming had been completed.
Some of the titles are blurry.
This is unfortunate only because
we hate to miss their clever word-
ing; the progress of the

qvell-known plot is pantomimed

clearly enough without them.
Penny Small’s Siegfried, an
operatic first in a University of
California sweat shirt, mostly
skips around in circles with un-
tiring finesse. Siegfried’s gay
leitmotif reminds the viewer that
he is watching an epic, as if this
were easy to forget. The score
throughout, almost wholly in-
strumental, has been put together
exceptionally well and runs the
gamut from ‘‘Yes, Sir, That’s My

Baby” to, of course, “The Ride
of the Valkyries.”’ Let it be
said that Marjorie Westerman

‘plays @ most convincing Valkyrie.

And Goodhart makes a fine
Briinnhilde home.

Liz Hanna is to be com-
mended for her outstanding
performance as the entire Nibelung
family. So is whoever made all
her costumes and the myriads of
others, which are unquestionably
medieval. _ Furthermore, the
creative use of Bryn Mawr
architecture would impress even
M. Carey Thomas. Robin (formerly
*68) is obviously an arch-
aeologist--and a perfectionist.
