Join ‘Unswitchable’ Tutti Fruttis

For Colorful, Frug-filled Weekend

By Peggy Wilber

Small signs reading ‘‘Je pense
done je Tutti Frutti,’? ‘‘We Tutti
Fruttis would rather fight than
switch,’’ and ‘‘What you feel ina
Warner’s isn’t the Tutti Frutti,’
are among the more subtle har-
bingers of Junior Show, opening
on Friday night.

An equally cryptic, though more
articulate harbinger of the pro-
duction is Vicki May, its director,
whom we located on a darkened
szoodhart stage. She __ stated
emphatically that, ‘‘there are no
lost little girls in this show,’’ con-

.trary to the Bryn Mawr tradition
of tender girlhood displayed so
often in class shows, ‘‘We’re really
very nasty about little girls in
this show,’’? she added with a
twisted smile. In another prece-
dent-shattering statement, she
also disclaimed any orientation of
the show towards the future, ‘In-
stead of trying to seek out the
future, we’re trying to eke out
the past -- in a sort of mystery

‘in retrospect.’?

When this eager reporter, her
appetite whetted, asked her if she
would reveal any details concern-

Lantern Night, Library Damage
Discussed by Undergrad Board

The role and responsibilities of
Undergrad’s Executive Council
were among topics discussed at
its Monday night meeting. The
Council also took up such matters
as the wage scale of campus jobs,
damage done on Lantern Night,
enforcement of library rules, and
the scheduling of campus events
such as career teas for seniors
and typing and Speedwriting
courses at Bryn Mawr.

Studies will be made on the pos-
sibility of raising the campus wage
scale. Reports will probably be
made before Thanksgiving. Mem-
bers of the Council will also look
for reasonably-priced typing and
Speedwriting courses to be given
at Bryn Mawr.

President of Undergrad Betsey
Pinckney brought up the fact that
a great many more lanterns than
Bryn Mawr can comfortably afford
were taken and not returned by Ha-

veriordians on Lantern Night.
These thefts often involved break-
ing the lanterns -- which, incident-
ally, cost $5.50 each -- and damage
to hands with lantern chains wrap-
ped around them before they were
abruptly grabbed.

Another abused Bryn Mawr in-
stitution discussed by the Council
was the library. That situation
shows an ‘‘incredible’’ amount of
‘¢inconsideration. of other people,’’
as Susan Harrah, a Rhoads repre-
sentative, put it, referring to such
abuse of library privileges as

taking reservé books and peri-

odicals out of the library. The
Council discussed having the
College vote on making library
rules part of the honor system,
subject to Self-Gov control.

Finally the Council discussed the
actual role Undergrad should play
in the life of the college. It was
agreed that the Executive Council
should act as a center for com-
munications on campus, and that
for this purpose much more in-
terest and responsibility for at-
tendance at meetings should be
required of all Council members.
Betsey Pinckney suggested that
members inform her on Friday of
issues to be taken up at the Mon-
day meetings, and that all mem-
bers concerned with these current
issues should attend current meet-
ings.

ing the show’s delectable title,
her response was a well-modulated
‘“*No,’? perceptible even in the
back row of Goodhart.

Vicki, however, did reveal afew
of the scenes of Tutti-Frutti’s
action -- in a metropolitan news-
paper office, a schmaltzy gypsy
restaurant, and, of course, ‘‘adim,
dark alley’’ -- little girls beware!

In response to the charge that
past Bryn Mawr shows have not
been ‘colorful’? enough, Vicki
promises ‘‘color in abundance,”’
although no sets were yet avail-
able to testify to this, although a
splatter painting could be dis-
cerned at stage left, which had we
not been warned by Vicki, we might
have assumed had been painted by
the little girl now out of favor.

The dance following TUTTI
FRUTTI, which will begin at ten
promptly, will feature a bonafide
frug band, as implied by still
more of the ubiquitous signs --
in this, case reading, ‘‘Omnes
Fruges!’’

| Miss McBride Announces
Support for LBJ, Humphrey

By Constance Rosenblum

Miss Katharine McBride, pres-
ident of Bryn Mawr College, is

_ serving as a member of the Na-

tional Committee of New York
Scientists, Engineers, and Phy-
Sicians for Johnson-Humphrey Inc.

Miss McBride attended a con-
ference at the White House two

weeks ago, as a member of this’

com mittee.

The announcement appeared in
an advertisement in last Sunday’s
New York Times, sponsored by the
organization.

The group defined itself as an
organization of **‘Democrats, Re-
publicans, and Independents ...

who have joined to urge the election

of Johnson and Humphrey because
we believe that as citizens and
members of scientific, engineering
and medical communities we havé
the obligation and the right to speak
out in this critical campaign.’’

The advertisement continued:

‘*‘We are concerned because we
know that the problems of the
present and the future cannot be
solved by answers from the past.
Demand stable leaders

*tWe are concerned because we
know these problems demand stable
leaders of proven competence, re-
sponsibility and judgment. WE BE-
LIEVE PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND
SENATOR HUMPHREY WILL GIVE
US THIS LEADERSHIP.

The. organization has taken
stands on all the: major issues of
the campaign. In reference to dis-
armament with safeguards, it an-
nounced that, ‘‘fully aware of the
awesome implications of modern
weapons, we are in favor of the
nuclear test bantreaty, arms limi-
tation, and disarmament with gen-
uine safeguards.’’

In addition it asserted that ‘‘we
give our unqualified support for
exclusive Presidential deter mina-




tion of the use of our tactical and
strategic nuclear weapons. The
potential annihilation of our world
cannot be left to the judgment of a
field -«ommander.?’

Supposts xedera! nlans

The group g2/e its support-to
Federal initiative in the attacks on
poverty, water and air pollution,
inadequate transportation, and the
programs for the prevention of
disease and increasing the avail-
ability of medical advances.

Other members of the National
Committee include Dr. Paul Dudley
White, of Mass. General Hospital;
Dr. Vladimir K. Zworkykin, Hon.
V.P; of RCA Labs; Dr. Julius
Stratton, President of MIT; Dr.
Benjamin Spock, and Dr. Detley
W. Bronk, President of the Rocke-
feller Institute.

The organization includes pro-
fessors of physics, zoology, phy-
siology, engineering, and biology
from the universities of Columbia,
Cornell, Syracuse, CCNY, and
NYU.

Also members are representa-
tives from the medical schools of
Columbia, Cornell, and Einstein
Medical; Brookhaven National
Labs; Sloan-Kettering Institute;
and the Rockefeller Institute.

Bryn Mawr Social Calendar Expands:
Willis Calls for Numerous Hall Mixers

A Yale-Bryn Mawr ‘mental
mixer’’ and a policy of encouraging
all girls on campus to attend all
dorm social events are among the
distinguishing features of this
year’s social program.

Social Chairman, Caroline Wil-
lis reports that for the first time,
Bryn Mawr girls have been in-
vited to participate in an intel-
lectual version of the classic inter-
collegiate mixer. Yale University
has proposed the plan that Bryn
Mawr girls would attend classes
at Yale for a day, and later have
dinner in the Halls. Following
dinner would be a dance,

Although plans for the mental
mixer are as yet indefinite, Caro-
line believes that such an activity
is well within the realm of poss-
ibility, and adds that Bryn Mawr
girls might even be lodged at the
Bryn Mawr Club in New Haven
during the course of the weekend-
long mixer.

More definite on the social
agenda for the coming year are
plans for weekly coffee hours and
mixers sponsored by the residence
halls. This year all students are
urged to attend all social events
on campus, including those spon-
sored by other dorms as well
as by their own. It is expected
that this new policy will decrease
the time, energy, and expense of
the individual dorm, which former-
ly had,to schedule its own activi-
ties in order toafford its members
male companionship. It also is
anticipated that the more who at-
tend these mixers, the more suc-
cessful they will be.

The social calendar which Caro-
line Willis has posted ineach dorm
lists nineteen Hall social activi-
ties scheduled throughout the year.
These have been planned to insure
an average of two social functions
on campus each week,

The coffee hours are to be held

on Sunday afternoon, from three
to five, with mixers scheduled
on Friday and Saturday nights
from eight until twelve-thirty.

While these Hall social events
by no means comprise the full
extent of activities that are to
take place during the coming year,
they are the core of the program,
Other miscellaneous events are
sure to come up, such as frater-
nity parties and all-College mixers
with men’s schools.

Here’s the schedule of events
for the coming month:
Sunday, Oct. 18...coffee hour...
Merion, Rhoads.
Friday, Oct. 23,..mixer...
Denbeigh, Rock.
Sunday, Oct. 25...coffee hour...
Radnor »
Friday, Nov. 6....mixer.......
Batten, Rhoads - ,
Sunday, Nov. 15...coffee hour...

Food For Thought

The recent mock election indeed provided much interesting statistical
material, Some ofthe most valuable material from the ballots distributed
to members of the college were the comments, voluntarily given, which
are statistically impossible to tabulate. We are taking the liberty of
printing several of the more interesting, representative and provocative:







DEMOCRAT FOR JOHNSON: ‘‘All the issues listed on the reverse
side are ‘important’ in any sense of the word, and ALL must be con-
sidered in rating any presidential candidate. In this particular election,
however, the issue of extremism overrides and encompasses all the
others. Goldwater’s views on all these subjects are incredibly misin-
formed and based on an ‘emotionalism’ that requires them to be dubbed
‘extremist’. Worse than Goldwater’s extremism, however, is that of his
supporters, Anyone attending the speech in Ardmore last week could
not help but conclude that they are mostly political fanatics who are
working for their candidate with a religious fervor that is almost em-
barrassing, and who believe they alone possess the ‘truth’, that they are
carrying the banner of political righteousness in this fight to preserve
America’s ‘moral fiber’. Thus I think that the issue of extremism (though
Heaven knows it has beenused throughout the conventions and campaigns
with a variety of meanings!!) must be said to overshadow all the
others -- for it is basically the issue of what kind of a government we
wish to have, and the political implications of the philosophies of the
opposing sides are as different as any seenin the U.S, since the ’30’s.’’

REPUBLICAN FOR JOHNSON: ‘Really, I don’t like either of the
candidates. I disapprove of Goldwater’s ideology and of Johnson’s per-
sonal character, It’s simply a matter for me of choosing the lesser of
two evils, I would much rather be supporting someone such as Scranton,
Lodge or Romney,’’

SOCIALIST FOR JOHNSON: ‘‘IfI were voting, I would vote Democratic
to vote meaningfully against Goldwater, but I think that in other recent
elections there has been no reason to vote for either candidate of the
major parties since both platforms are usually very poor, especially
in foreign policy. What I would like to see is a candidate running on a
peace and civil rights platform ... arid none such exists.’’

REPUBLICAN FOR GOLDWATER: ‘‘In this particular election I am
dissatisfied with the individual candidates, so I am voting almost com-
pletely for the party and its position (rather than the candidate).’’

DEMOCRAT FOR JOHNSON: ‘*Goldwater has done a poor job of
presenting his views -- much generalizing. Together with poor coverage,
this has made the election issues from each candidate’s viewpoint very
obscure.”’

INDEPENDENT FOR JOHNSON: ‘“‘I think it is significant to analyze
objectively whether some of the Goldwater proposed ‘choices’ in fact
exist in a world of complicated industrial relationships and precarious
international equilibrium.’’

REPUBLICAN FOR JOHNSON: ‘‘Johnson, I think, would have better
relations with Congress and be more effective in getting his programs
passed, He and Humphrey are both shrewd, practical politicians, rather
than theorists.”’

DEMOCRAT FOR JOHNSON: ‘‘This election makes a mockery of the
whole democratic system, It has been showing up the faults of the party
system, especially in relation to men such as Rockefeller and Scranton.
Mud-slinging also does not speak too well for the U.S. in general, And
the whole campaign reeks of immorality onthe sides of both candidates.
What we need is another F,D,R, before the whole government goes to pot.
(Which, I’m sure has been said before, but NEEDS to be said, I feel,
again),”’

REPUBLICAN FOR GOLDWATER: “Re: policies mentioned which I
did not check but which are of considerable importance:

CIVIL RIGHTS -- The maintainance of INDIVIDUAL rights is granted
by law -- I see this as a plus in favor of Goldwater (Johnson’s past
voting record, for example, his voting AGAINST an anti lynching bill,
does not show him tobe a champion in the field of rights and liberties)..’’

DEMOCRAT FOR JOHNSON: ‘‘I’m not particularly inspired by John-
son as a candidate, though in comparison with Goldwater he is ‘on the
side of the angels’ at least. I would rather see someone who is more of
a statesman in the American presidency, though thisis partly due to my
bias in being a foreigner.’’

DEMOCRAT FOR JOHNSON: ‘Johnson will not do much for the real
problems (economic and social) facing the country, but it is imperative
that he win -- at least he has made poverty a national issue, though his
plans are inadequate to deal with it.’’

INDEPENDENT FOR JOHNSON: ‘*I would not campaign in this elec-
tion because I do not respect either candidate, nor do I feel that either
is capable ip power politics to originate any new programs,”

lantern night has passed in its
usual way, the deep peace of tradi-
tion mingles with cynical, resigned
laughter and indignation: stealing
a lantern seems to have become
part ofthe haverford initiation rite,
roughly equivalent to bringing back
a lion skin in better-organized
circles. boys will be boys and all
that.

lanterns, however, are easier
to abscond with than lion skins,
bryn mawrters being infinitely gul-
lible, and in most cases, gentle --
i only know of one who bites and
only two or three more who
scratch, haverford initiation then,
is relatively easy, while bryn mawr
initiation -- loss of lantern -- is
difficult.

girls console themselves with
quiet pride in their good sports-
manship and maturity, but never
totally obscure the fact that their
snatched lanterns are adorning a
rival room ...

surely there are better ways to
entice haverford to the cloister?
light of intellect, perhaps, instead
of lantern?

i sympathize, but since my own
lantern, snatched thirty years ago
from taylor steps is hanging safely
in my window, i laugh with every-
one else at the invading retrievers

.. but laughter loses lanterns.
the only way to keep them is to
fight to the death,

consolingly,

Letters To
Flashlights Needed

To the Editor;

The recent’ editorial in the
COLLEGE NEWS which criticized
the lack of standardization of the
fire drill rules did make some
valid comments. This year we are
reconsidering and rewriting all the
rules and regulations in an effort
to eliminate the inconsistent and
the unnecessary rules. Any fur-
ther comments or suggestions are
welcome.

The NEWS, however, is not justi-
fied in its criticism of the regula-
tion that students must have a
flashlight, towel, coat and shoes
at a fire drill. The requiring of
this ‘*paraphernalia’’ is to expedite
a SAFE evacuation of the building.
The reason that a student is not
required to go back to her room
to get her things, if she is in
another room when the fire bell
rings, is not because she doesn’t
‘*need’”? them, but because it would
be quicker and safer for her to
share the equipment of a friend
or to borrow someone’s extra
coat and towel than to return to
her own room.

Nurse Farr Joins Ranks
Of “Bryn Mawr Authors”

By Peggy Wilber

All students realize that many
members of the faculty are pub-
lished authors, but fewer seem to
be aware that probably the most
recent publication by a ‘‘Bryn
Mawr author,’? CHILDREN IN
MEDICINE, is the work of Muriel
Farr, Head Infirmary Nurse, and
also a seasoned author.

Miss Farr’s book, published by
Prentice-Hall, is a collection of
stories of fhe childhood of persons
such as Florence Nightingale and
Robert Koch whose youthful in-
terests and inquiries led to ex-
citing medical discoveries. She
also tells the story of several
brave young human guinea pigs,
such as Jean-Baptiste Jupile, one
of the first children to be injected
with Pasteur’s rabies vaccine.

PerhapS the most refreshing
aspect of Miss Farr’s book is its
ability to present the scientifi_
method in an interesting and ex-
citing manner for quite young chil-
dren -- instead of the dry imper-
sonal tales of the ubiquitous mag-
gots in the meat or Pavlov’s pant-
ing dog that are everywhere in
elementary science texts. This is
especially well done in her offer-
ing, ‘‘Why British Sailors are
Called Limeys,’’ the story of
Captain Cooks’ battle against
scurvy. Captain Cook, who ran
away to sea as a boy, did not be-
come a physician, as did all the
other great medical figures in
this book, but he did make careful
observations on the value of fresh
fruit on sailing voyages, and his
logical and inspired researches
are presented in a lively and
straight-forward fashion.

The idea for the book came
while Miss Farr was still in
nurses’ training. She worked part
time at the Haverford school, car-
ing for ‘‘very inquisitive little
boys who were constantly asking
WHY we tapped their chests, and
did other things, and I realized
I didn’t know some of the answers
myself!?? Therefore she began re-

search, and writing followed. The
specific problem of chest-tapping
is tackled in her story of Leopold
Auenbrugger, an innkeeper’s son
who tapped on wine casks as a boy
to ascertain their fullness, and on
men’s chests as a physician to
determine the amount of fluid
therein.

Mississippi F.D.P.
Seeks Volunteers
For Election Work

The Mississippi Freedom
Democratic Party, which chal-
lenged the seating of the regular
Mississippi delegates to the Demo-
cratic Convention, is calling for
500 volunteers to work in Missis-
sippi for a week before the election,

The FDP is conducting a ‘‘free-
dom vote,’? a mock election in
which all Mississippians of vot-
ing age can express their pre-
ference for President, Senator,
and Representatives. ,

The FDP is running candidates
against Senator Stennis and three
Representatives, and it has en-
dorsed President Johnson. The
FDP candidates are not on the
state ballot,

The purpose of the freedom vote
is to show that thousands of Missis-
sippians have been illegally disen-
franchised, and that, if they were
allowed to vote, the results of
elections would change radically,

On the basis of the freedom vote,
the FDP will ask Congress to rule
invalid the elections of Senator
Stennis andthe three congressmen.
If that fails, the FDP hopes to have
the Democratic caucus strip them
of their seniority status, from
which they gain most of their
power,

Anyone who is interested in
going to help with the freedom
vote should immediately contact
Edna Perkins in Denbigh for fur-
ther details and application forms,

the Editor

freshments are provided, however,
in the event of a hall Faculty Tea.

Each hall may have and finance
one (1) mixer or dance each aca-
demic year in the hall, and if
desired, another one (1) or more
may be held in Goodhart (not the
Music Room), Applebee Barn, or
the gym if these are not in use.
The reason more mixers are not
allowed in the dorm is that not all
girls in the hall go to the hall
mixer and might be disturbed by
the additional noise.

A great wealth of possibilities
for additional activity operating
within these limits occurs to me,
as well as the obvious solution,
changing the college _ policy.
Greater student cooperation would
be especially helpful. The social
life you save may be your own.

‘I still don’t forgive you,’’ on the
second,

December 17: Jack, resigned
to Love’s Labour Lost, bids adieu

Participants in Tutorial Project

Plan to Widen

The Bryn Mawr-Haverford tu-
torial project is expanding its
operations this year to reach more
pupils in Ardmore, Philadelphia,
and Bryn Mawr. For the first
time work in remedial reading as
well as subject tutoring is planned,

At present 70 Bryn Mawr and
45 Haverford students have signed
up as tutors, but the goal is a
total squad of two hundred. Ninety
will tutor in Ardmore, 60 in Bryn
Mawr, and 35 in Philadelphia. An
increase in demand for tutors
is expected after the first school
marking period,

Students of all ages, from ele-
mentary to senior high school, will
be assisted. A Philadelphia school
and church congregations are se-
lecting the pupils. Tutoring will
be conducted in one church in each
community,

Each tutor will be assigned one
student for one hour each week.

Interfaith Presents
Wednesday Talks,

Sunday Mediation

Dr. Henry J. Cadbury, a trustee
of Bryn Mawr and a past head of
the Society of Friends will speak
at the regular Interfaith lecture
on Wednesday, October 21. The
last speaker was Jonathon Smith,
the controversial minister from
Yale.

Interfaith, besides sponsoring
lectures every other Wednesday,
is intending to continue its program
of music and meditation on Sun-
days. However, final arrangements
of time and place have not yet been
made, Interfaith president Carly
Wade stated that all of Interfaith’s
activities result as a response to
students’ requests.

The organization is now in a
position to set up transportation
for students who wish to attend
churches of interest suchas Christ
Church in Philadelphia. Requests
should be made to any Interfaith
representative.

With the new Calendar of Events
Bulletin there is the possibility of
trading guest speakers, and co-
sponsoring discussion groups with
Haverford. Interfaith is organizing
talks on unlimited topics one after -
noon a week, to promote discussion
of questions and the spread of in-
formation concerning religious is-
sues on campus and inthe commun-
ity.

Scope of Work

The program will later be broad-
ened to include field trips and
other outside activities. Most of
the students are Negro children
of low income families who cannot
afford to hire tutors,

To further help his pupil, the
tutor may be in contact with parents
and teachers, This arrangement
will allow each person being tu-
tored to receive individual atten-
tion impossible in large school
classes.

In addition to academic subjects,
tutors will work with remedial
reading, since a reading problem
is often the basis for difficulties
in other areas.

Now in its third year, the tu-
torial project is headed by Leslie
Hiles at Bryn Mawr and Chris
Filstrip at Haverford.

Transportation is provided for
those tutoring in Ardmore and
Philadelphia. The Bryn Mawr lo-
cation is within walking distance.
Tutoring sessions will be held
in the late afternoon and early
evening during the week and Sa-
turday morning.

National Foreign Service Board
Seis Exam Date for Candidates

The Department of State will
offer competitive examinations in
Philadelphia on Saturday, De-
cember 5, leading to appointment
as Career Officers in the Foreign
Service of the United States. Ap-
plication for these examinations,
available at the Bureau of Re-
commendations, should be sent
to Washington to the Board of Ex-
aminers for the Foreign Service
by Monday, October 19.

Mr. Vincent Wilber, a Foreign
Service Recruiting Representa-
tive, visited the college last Thurs-
day for tea, at which he described
the preliminary written examina-

The test includes exercises in
General Ability, English Expres-

a relative rather than absolute
basis, so that the candidates are

As Shakespeare Instructor

Miss Patricia H. Russell, who
is just completing her work for
the Ph.D. degree, is Bryn Mawr’s
new Shakespeare instructor. She
also is teaching a contemporary
English course for freshmen.

**] always wanted to teach, and
decided on English when I majored
in it,’? Miss Russell said. She did
undergraduate work at Sweetbriar
and received her M.A. degree from
the University of Toronto from
which she will receive her Ph.D.
degree after finishing her thesis
on how Shakespeare’s last romance
themes can be used dramatically.

As a teaching fellow at Victoria
University in Toronto she taught
Victorian and modern prose and
poetry.

Next to Shakespeare Miss Rus-
sell likes the poet Yeats and con-
temporary English literature.
Asked what her favorite Shake-
spearean plays were she com-
mented, ‘It depends on what type
of mood I am in, but they are
probably A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S
DREAM and THE TEMPEST be-
cause they are formal and yet
vast in scope.’’ One of her favor-
ite quotations from MSND is:

s¢ ... O happy fair!

Your eyes are lodestars and your
tongue’s sweet air

More tuneable that lark to shep-
herd’s ear

When wheat is green, when haw-
thorne buds appear.’’

Miss Russell’s other love is
music, ‘‘anything up to Mozart.’?
Years ago she taught piano be-
cause it was ‘‘twice as profit-
able as babysitting.’? More re-
cently she spent a summer teach-
ing rhythm and dynamics in music
to mountain children at a workshop
in Berea, Kentucky.

Miss Russell has also traveled
over much of Europe. ‘I like Lon-
don best, especially Westminster
Abbey,’’ she stated, adding that
she felt most at home in England
because she felt she knew it from
reading so much in books. Salz-
burg, Austria, was another favor-
ite place. Miss Russellis present-

‘ly saving for another trip to

Europe.

Doing research work in the Fol-
ger Shakespeare Library in her
native city of Washington, D.C.,
has occupied Miss Russell for
the last two summers.

Five Students Use Ford Summer Grants
For Research on Honors Project Topics

By Darlene Preissler

During the past summer, five
Bryn Mawr students, Joan Deutsch,
Michele Green, Jo Frodin, Kathy
Terzian, and Peggy Wilber, util-
ized funds from Ford Foundation
Grants to engage in research in
several fields, .
“The Ford Foundation awards the
grants for the purpose of furthering
research in ‘‘public affairs, gov-
ernmental and political processes
and public policies.” In addition,
the foundation aims to ‘frelate
teaching and research through
faculty and student cooperation in
research projects.”

Joan Deutsch chose the Immunity
Act of 1954 for her topic. The law
states that in cases where the
national security is concerned,
people may be forced to testify.
Their statements, in theory, are
to be regarded only as informa-~
tion and are not to be held against
them in any manner. Joan com-
pleted most of her research at the

Northwestern Law Library in
Chicago.
Colombia’s inflation problem

was the subject of Jo Frodin’s re-

search, She gained information
on the topic from the University
of the Andes, the only non-political
university in South America, and
from the Banco de la Republica,
the central bank of the country.
For six weeks, she resided
in Bogota and also travelled to
the tropical regions of Colombia,

Traveling to Belgium, Germany,
Switzerland, and Italy and living
for three weeks with a German
family were included in Kathy
Terzian’s project on the European
Common Market, She participated
in a study group on the Common
Market co-sponsored by the Ex-
periment in International Living
and the State University of New
York. Meetings with policy makers
and members of various interest
groups provided information which
could not be obtained from written
sources.

Peggy Wilber selected the Druze
Sect, a community of heretical
Moslems residing in Syria, Leb-
anon, and Israel, as her area of
concentrated study. In particular,
she researched the manner in
which religious sects are repre-
sented in the government of Leb-

anon. For eight weeks, she used
resources in Washington, at
Princeton, and at Harvard,

The information gained through
the research this summer will be
included in the students’ honors
projects.

Projects Brewing
To Transform Inn
Into Student Union

An effort is being made to turn
the College Inn into a REAL Stu-
dent Union. In connection with this
plan, Miss McBride wi:l hold a
meeting later this month to decide
whether or not to close the Inn
to the public.

The College Inn Committee has
been discussing possible Inn im-
provements with Miss Lewis, the
new manager. The members of
this committee which is headed
by Babs Keith, are Stephanie Van
Hoorn, Sibyl Kleeman, Andrea
Saltzman, Penny Small, Ceci Ram-
sey, Stephanie Lewis, Judy Pal-
mer and Ellen Siminoff.

College Inn hours are the same
as last year: Breakfast, 9 to 11;
lunch, 12 to 2; tea, 3:30 to 5; din-
ner, 5:30 to 7:30. On Sunday, the
Inn serves breakfast from 9 to 11
and dinner from 12 to 7:30.

The Inn is also open on Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday nights from
8:30 to 12.

Miss Lewis says she is trying
to make the Inn a more enjoyable
place not only for the students who
come to eat there, but also for the
freshmen who live there. She hopes
to make the secretary’s office into
a small living room so that stu-
dents will have a place to bring
their friends and dates.

The College Inn Committee wel-
comes any student suggestions
pertaining to the Inn, They empha-
size that it is only. through student
support that the Inn will become
a true Student Union. Support can
only be shown through use of the
Inn, says the Inn Committee, so

Democratic V
at Bala Cynwyd Rally.

ice-Presidential hopeful Hubert Humphrey speaks



Crowds Welcome Humphrey
With Kazoos and Confusion

By Constance Rosenblum

Saturday was Humphrey Day at
the Bala-Cynwyd Shopping Center.

Crowds of Main Line Democrats,
ardent college students, profes-
sional rally-goers, andsmall chil-
dren gathered to greet the Demo-
cratic vice-presidential nominee,
due to arrive at 1:30 p.m.

The numbers were swelled by a
small but vocal Goldwater contin-
gent grouped around an amplifier
which proclaimed Democratic
evils of the past years.

The participants were covered
with campaign paraphernalia rang-
ing from discreet ‘‘4-LBJ’’ but-
tons, to iridescent plate-sized
ones.

One poster bore the proud dec-
laration ‘‘College drop-outs for
Barry;’’ another entitled a beard-
ed, moustached portrait of Gold-
water ‘‘Barry for Halloween.’”’

Near the rostrum reposed two
floppy, over-sized sheep dogs, al-
most obscured by enormous ‘‘Bar-
ry in ’64’? buttons on their collars.
COUNTY FAIR ATOMOSPHERE

The atmosphere was more remi-
niscent of a county fair than a po-
litical rally. Children sucked can-
died apples, balloons floated above
the. grandstand, and venders sold
campaign buttons as if they were
lollipops.

Music from the Haverford Col-
lege Drum, Fife, and Kazoo March-
‘ing Band added further carnival
spirit.

To keep the crowdoccupied until
Humphrey’s arrival, the candi-
date’s professional troubadour led
the audience in a medley of spirit-
ed campaign songs.

‘*KEEP IT SHINING .. .”’

They ranged from ‘‘Keep the
moon shining over Minnesota,
*cause Minnesota’s got Hubert
Humphrey,’’ to ‘‘We’re for Hubert
Humphrey, we shall not be moved.’’

Humphrey arrived soon after 2,
accompanied by Bill Searle and
Miss Genevieve Blatt, State Demo-
cratic candidates, and members of

the State Democratic committee.

He pressed through the crowds
of reporters, spectators, and
youngsters, shaking hands and
smiling broadly.

After the state candidates had
spoken, Humphrey began: ** You can
tell which people are going to vote
for Johnson, because they’re the
ones who are smiling. The ones
with sad faces are supporting Gold-
water.’?

He pointed to a girl waving a
Goldwater sign. ‘‘Now she’s smil-
ing, but deep down in her heart she
knows she’s going to vote for John-
son anyway.’”?

RASPBARRIES, STRAWBARRIES

In response to shouts of ‘‘We
want Barry,’’ the candidate repli-
ed, ‘*They say they want Barry, but

they don’t know if they want rasp-
barry or strawbarry.”’

Observing that a majority of the
audience wore buttons stating, ‘‘If
I were 21, I’d vote for Johnson,’’ he
concluded his speech with the in-
junction:

‘¢Now a lotof youare too young to
vote, but you can go home and tell
your parents to think about voting
Democratic this year.”’

*‘And now, get to work, all of
you, so we can win on Election
Day.’’

E CAMPAIGN COMPENDIUM

LBJ Victorious Over Goldwater

Victory Margain Tall

By Anne Lovgren

President Johnson won a land-
slide, 476 - 59, victory over Ari-
zona Senator Barry Goldwater in
the Mock Election, held on Tues-
day and Wednesday by Alliance
and THE COLLEGE NEWS, The
official breakdown of the 551 bal-
lots cast by Faculty, undergrad-
uates and graduate students is as
follows:

Johnson’ - 476 votes

Goldwater - 59 votes

Write-ins - 16 votes

A particularly interesting aspect
of this ballot was the voters’
response to the question ‘‘Have
you actively campaigned for your
presidential choice.’’ 99 pro-John-
son voters (20.8%) reported
“*Yes.’’ Of these, 74 were Demo-
crats, 11, Republicans and 14,
Independents, 25% of the pro-Gold-
water voters, 15 students, reported
their active campaigning.

President Johnson won by a
majority in each residence hall,
pro-Johnson percentages running
from 100% (Wyndham and Batten)
to a low of 56% (College Inn.)
Here is a hall-by-hall vote break-
down. by percentages:

Batten: Goldwater, 0%; Johnson,
100%.

Denbigh: Goldwater, 8%; John-
son, 90%. _

Faculty: Goldwater, 0%; John-
son, 86%; Other, 13%.

337 Johnson supporters (71%)
named Foreign policy as a primary
issue inthis year’s campaign. They
considered (in descending order)
Civil Rights (307), Nuclear Policy
(283) and Social Welfare (210) next
most important, Extremism, Big-
Government vs. Small Government
and Corruption and Crime all
ranked low (28% - 6%).

Foreign policy was also most
important to Goldwater support-
ers, scoring 73%. The question
of Big Government vs, Small Gov-
ernment was almost equally im-
portant, however, since it was
mentioned by 70% of the Gold-
water voters. Civil Rights, So-
cial Welfare, and Nuclear poli-
cy ranked next in importance, with
Extremism and Corruption scoring
last,

Couthful Californian Comments
On Cow Palace Extravaganza

G. Sanger, C. Roosevelt Enumerate
Vital Presidential C ampaign Issues

Democratic View
By Gail Sanger, '65

Mr. Johnson has wrought in 10
short months a near-miracle. He
has synthesized and coordinated
the diverse interests and sectional
differences divided still further
last November by a climate of hate

,and violence. He has made mis-

takes: he has not satisfied any
groups’ demands in toto--but he
has directed the enactment of pos-
itive, progressive and needed leg-
islation with a strength of direction
unrivaled since Winston Churchill,

Under the Kennedy-Johnson ad-
ministration the nation has begun
to solve the problems which face
her, problems which will not ‘‘go
away’ if they are ignored, but
will rather get worse. Historic
legislation includes the Civil
Rights Bill, the War on Poverty,
the establishment of the Peace
Corps, and the recent administra-
tion’s tax cut, to name a few.
The President has shown his com-
petence in the international sphere
by his policy of firmness in the
Tonkin Bay incident. The result
of the test ban treaty has been
to reduce tension and increase

positive negotiation with the USSR.
President Kennedy put it: we must
never negotiate out of fear, but we
must never fear to negotiate.
Johnson has demonstrated a con-
structive and realistic attitude in
domestic affairs--especially eco-
nomic policy as well. Senator Gold-
water, when last understood, was

Republican View

By Caroline Roosevelt, '65

The central issue of the Repub-
lican presidential campaign this
year is that of centralization ver-
sus federalism. The other issues,
excepting foreign policy (including
defense), are considered in the
light of their relevance to this
dominant question.

The Republican party takes the
position that the government which
is closest to the individual citizen
is the most able to respond to
his opinions and demands, The
more distant and centralized gov-
ernment becomes, the less each
American influences the laws gov-
erning him, Federalism is regard-
ed by the Republicans as essential

to the preservation of the individ-
ual’s voice in government: that is,
only a few powers, absolutely es-
sential to the basic national order,
are allotted to the Federal govern-
ment, and the rest go to state and
local governments which can be
more easily reached and controlled
by their constituents. This allows
for legislative flexibility through-
out the country for widely diverse
problems of different areas.

After all, though a majority of
the population lives in the East,
legislation imposed from an East-
ern-oriented government could be
both unsuitable and detrimental to
the great numbers of people in the
South and the West who have very
different economic, agricultural,
social, and rural-urban situations.

The aim of the Republican can-
didates is for each individual to
have as much control over his
own affairs as is practical within
the limits of a free, but orderly,
society.

Civil Rights are regarded by the
supporters of the Republican ticket
largely as a part of this over-
riding question of Federal power.
A small minority, of course, will

York State delegation to the Re-
publican National Convention in
San Francisco. (Of course, New
York was the last state to send
its list to convention headquarters
-- and I wasn’t on it!)

However, the arrival of the New
York delegation at the Sheraton
Palace Hotel in San Francisco
allowed me to penetrate the great
smoky wondrous world of ‘‘national
politics’’. I became the bouncer fon
the New York delegation.

In my new position of authority
quickly I noted two things: there
was an unbelievably large num-
ber of New York freeloaders in
San Francisco (all wanting to go
to the Convention) and that the
Sheraton was good for no more
than one Rockefeller reception and
the occasional appearance and dis-
appearance of Nelson and Happy,
et al. What to do? Why, on to the
Mark Hopkins (and Scranton and
Goldwater headquarters) of
course.

Being a youngish couthful girl
friday (and other days) had its
advantages. I had a pass for all
Cow Palace sessions and friends
among the sergeants-at-arms
(free and uninterrupted passage
onto the convention floor) To say
nothing of the youngish and also
couthful Yalies, Princetonians etc.
(and believe me, ad infinitum ...)

From the Saturday preceding
the convention until the acceptance
speeches on Thursday my hurried
existence became harried and har-
rassed. I answered telephones, ran
messages and discussed and de-
bated at length the question of
‘*excitement’’? of a political con-
vention with media men .repre-
senting large and small constitu-
ents. (In most cases they were
bored -- I was entranced by all
proceedings.)

I was fortunate enough to meet
several of the Big Show’s ‘‘head-
liners’? and found them all cour-
teous but somewhat preoccupied.
My most profound discovery was
that Senator Dirksen’s voice really
is like Snagglepuss’.

Politically all was relatively
predetermined, with the possible
exception of the proposed amend-
ments to the platform concerning
civil rights, extremism and nu-
clear control. The professionals
seemed to accept even this as a
matter of course and were still
unimpressed. I was fascinated and
frankly quite horrified.

Fail-Safe Attempt at Strangelove Humor Students Try Experiments
Found Abysmal-And Maddening-Failure

By Kit Bakke

The authors of FAILSAFE seem
to have been somewhat in doubt
about what they were trying to
achieve in writing the movie. Part
of the time it is documentary; part
of the time it is thrilling science
fiction. The mixture of the two is
somewhat puzzling.

Much of the action and dialogue
is a direct plea for disarmament
--a straight documentary of what
could happen under our present
nuclear policy. But every now and

then melodrama and cheap at-
tempts at modern psychiatry sneak
in and ruin the effect. So the audi-
ence readjusts itself to an ‘‘Elev-
enth Hour’? type show and then sud-
denly there is the hard truth of the
cold war back again. It becomes

Ginger Man Skillfully Handles
Questions of Non-Involvement

Life is callous and cruel to
mankind, To exist, man must be
crueler and more callous than
life around him.

J.P. Donleavy’s ‘‘The Ginger
Man,’’ now playing at the Society
Hill Playhouse in Philadelphia,
expresses this idea through the
characters of Sebastian Danger-
field, the insensitive ‘‘anti-hero’’,
and a host of unloved and frustrated
individuals.

The difficult role of Sebastian
is admirably played by John
Luciano. Sebastian is an impover-
ished young American law student
at Trinity College, Dublin,

Luciano is generally successful

in expressing the powerful insensi-
tivity and complete disassociation
from the world about him that
Sebastian is experiencing.

Sebastian’s wife, a formerly
rich, well-bred English girl, is
harried, mistreated, and unloved
by her husband. As played by
Elaine Kussackh, however, she
emerges as a tired suburban
housewife, an interpretation which
often mars Sebastian’s perform-
ance,

Kenneth O’Keefe, an impover-
ished student who seeks nothing
more than adequate food and sex,
is a pleasant contrast toSebastian.
This unphilosophical individual is
well played by Charles Santore.

Miss Frost, a 34-year-old Irish-
woman, though inhibited by her
strict upbringing, is still indepen-
dent enough to yield to his non-
amorous desires with minimal
misgivings. She is magnificently
played by Patricia Powell.

Although the play is generally
wellcast, and reaches a few peaks,
one often has the impression that
it is essentially merely a skillful
script reading. This is partly the

brilliance of the book from which
it was adapted.

Sebastian deserves the title of
‘¢anti-hero.’’ As we watch him,
we wonder, not whether non-
involvement is more painful than
involvement, but merely whether
he really could exist that way.

The play, which will be pre-
sented through Oct. 24 on Wed-

slightly maddening.

The result of this mix up is that
the audience doesn’t know whether
or not to take the movie seriously.
If it is not taken seriously the
problem of DR. STRANGELOVE
arises. In the first place, the
Similarities in plot between the
two are numerous; and in the sec-
ond place, DR. STRANGELOVE is
much more successful as far as
humor is concerned. In fact, if
FAIL SAFE is supposed to be
amusing, it fails abysmally.

So there is the other possibil-
ity; that FAIL SAFE is dead ser-
ious and that it is telling the Am-
erican people what might logically
happen if our present policy is
continued. In that case, we have
the right to know exactly how valid
the circumstances are. It is no
longer a joke; it involves the lives
of millions of people. But not hav-
ing a complete understanding of
the workings of the SAC headquar-
ters in Omaha, most of us can’t
determine the veracity of the var-
ious situations. So we have left
before us a purely subjective.ques -
tion; whether or not we want to
believe it. And most of us won’t
want to... but a lot of us will.

Simian Cinema Simulates
Cynical Circus Symbolism

By Nannette Holben

If Haverford boys treat you as
one of the guys, you may be
troubled by unsightly body hair.
**The Ape Woman,” recently show-
ing at the Bryn Mawr Theater,
offers an even more effective solu-
tion than a depilatory (barring the
college’s honor system).

At any rate, the theme, rather
than the acting, is the essence of
the movie.

Superficially the Ponti-Ferreri

Demo. View, Cont.

(Continued from page 4)

calling for fiscal responsibility,
decrying the administration’s tax
cut (he voted against: it), calling
for a balanced budget, and pro-
posing a tax cut of his own. Johnson
has been fulfilling the responsibili-
ty of his office to face the future
with concrete, coordinated eco-
nomic policy. If the government’s
responsibility is to contribute to
(versus detract from) the stability
of the economy, its taxation and
spending policies must compen-
sate for fluctuations in the bus-
iness cycle. This duty negates
Goldwater’s insistance on a bal-
anced budget as well as his alter-
native insistance on a long-range
planned tax cut of 25% irrespec-
tive of economic changes. The Se-
nator again misses the point--both
of the purpose of the administra-
tion’s tax cut and of the govern-
ment’s economic role.

To continue is to add more of
the same: a list of Johnson’s
responsible attempts versus Gold-
water’s unrealistic and negative
proposals,

In a real world, answers are
not easy or ideal, But neither are
the problems, Lamenting the size
of the government does not satisfy
"he increasing demands made on

: by the people. It is absurd to
expect government tobecome more
Simple as society becomes more
complex.

film is a take-off on the Wolfman
or Tarzan adventures; qualitative-
ly it parallels the progressive
change in the philosophy of Archi-
bald MacLeish.

MacLeish’s early concept of
comparing life to a circus is sug-
gested in Antonio’s exploiting of
the freak ‘‘ape woman’’ in a side-
street show, and is emphasized by
the recurring carnival music and
bawdy Italian setting.

That Ugo Tognozzi cracks a
whip in the show as deftly as he
oppresses behind the scenes and
that Annie Girardot wiggles her
posterior in mute obedience both
on and off stage add to the ludi-
crousness of the situation.

But as MacLeish matured, his
cynicism mellowed to acknowledge
love as the purpose for existence,
and as the film progresses, the
poet’s philosophy is fulfilled. An-
tonio, who loathed to touch his
money-making freak, finally real-
izes that she’s better shed than
dead.

The comic effects, too, are fine
points. The hirsute heroine and
her naiveté plus the show business
shark and his emotional vulner-
ability, blend pointedly ina society
professing morals but having none.

Great for anthropology students.

Pogo ’s Perpetrator
To Sketch Position

In Extremism Talk

Walt Kelly, creator of the comic
strip ‘‘Pogo,’’ will speak in Ro-
berts Hall Auditorium at Haver-
ford on Tuesday, October 27. Mr.
Kelly will discuss ‘‘Extremism,’’
a topic which he has dealt with
extensively during the fourteen
‘‘ever-lovin’ blue-eyed years’’
since ‘‘Pogo’’ was born.

Mr. Kelly distinguishes three
types of extremists - ‘‘extreme
left, extreme right, and extreme
middle’’ - and is equally infuriated
by all three. The creatures of
Okeefenokee Swamp who inhabit
his comic strip have over the years
fought, avoided, and somehow even
tolerated an endless parade of
fanatics of various political per-
suasions seeking to convert the
swamp and thereby save the world.

These have included a very fa-
miliar-looking group of investi-
gators for a ‘‘bird-watching’’
Committee of the early 1950’s;a
pair of Marxist cowbirds; aRus-
sian bear in a Santa Claus suit; a
bearded, Spanish-speaking goat;
and a whole host of fellow-travel-
ers who follow in their wake. How-
ever, Mr. Kelly makes it quite
clear that the main asset these
variously deranged aliens have is
the collective apathy and good-
natured idiocy of the natives of

Republican View, Continued

(Continued from page 4)
use the states’-rights issue as an
excuse todeny Constitutional rights
to some Americans; but the major-
ity of Goldwater’s supporters
sincerely believe in justice and
equal rights for all. They feel,
however, that integration can never
be genuine unless it comes from
within the community, rather than
being imposed ‘‘from the top’? by
Federal force. There is also strong
feeling that there would be greater
freedom for everyone if the Con-
stitution were enforced with regard
to EVERY American’s rights, than
if rights held since the establish-
ment of the United States are
eroded away, and Federal power
aggrandized, under a hypocritical
guise of bettering the status of
minority groups.

A somewhat secondary, but im-
portant, issue is that of foreign
policy: especially, for Republicans,
of that part of foreign policy deal-
ing with defense and Communism.
Certainly American foreign policy
should be directed toward en-
couraging freedom everywhere,
and the Communists are by no
means the only threat tothe world’s
freedom; on the other hand, they

are the most powerful threat at
the moment, not only to freedom
in other parts of the world, but to
ours directly. The Republican can-
didates, however, do not want war
with the Communist, or any other,
bloc (they can justifiably call them-
selves the ‘‘party of peace’? -- all
the wars in which we have been
involved inthis century have been
under Democratic presidents, who
stated in their campaign speeches
that they would never get us into
war) and believe the way to prevent
it is to be prepared enough and
strong enough that our adversaries
will follow a less aggressive policy.

OUR FUTURE IN COLOR TV LOOKS ROSY

The Color TV market is in full bloom—

and GT&E along with it.

The reason? Our Sylvania subsidiary
has made dramatic advancements in the
performance standards of color TV sets.

In developing these new receivers,
Sylvania drew upon the vast research fa-
cilities of GT&E. One result: the Sylvania

730 THIRD AVENUE, NEW YORK 10017 - GI&E SUBSIDIARIES General Telephone Ocerating Companies ih 32 states + General Telephone & Electronics Laboratories » General Telephone & Electronics International + General Telephone Directory Co.

“Color Bright 85” picture tube using a
revolutionary new red phosphor that in-
creases brightness on the average of 43
percent over the industry standard.

Our Sylvania Electronic Components
Group is one of the two largest suppliers
of receiving tubes and picture tubes .
used by 7 out of 10 TV set makers.

As a major factor in all phases of com-
munication through sight and sound, it
is small wonder that GT&E has become
one of America’s foremost corporations.

If you're looking for a young, aggres-
sive company with no limit to its growth,
you may wish to view GT&E in the light
of your own future.
