College Theatre Begins
Work On Thomas Play

UNDER MILKWOOD by Dylan
Thomas has been chosen as Col-
lege Theatre’s next production.
Tryouts were held over the last
two. weeks and a cast of about 22
was chosen. Rehearsals are con-
tinuing every night, Monday
through Friday until the weekend
of the performance, March 18-19,

UNDER MILKWOOD is a play
about people in a small Welsh
town. In Sonfe ways it is very dif-
ferent from anything College Thea-
tre has worked on before. The
play deals with the lives and feel-
ings of ‘‘little people.’’

There are no major parts; in-
stead there is 4 series of charac-
ters, who appear briefly on stage,
interact, and go on their separate
ways. As a result of the constantly
shifting and open nature of the
play in whith characters wander
in and out related only by their
reactions to each other, and the
roles of First and Second Voice,
specific parts are not being as-
signed until a week or two before
the performance.

Roles will be rotated among the
cast. Each member will thus gain

an insight into the thoughts and
desires of all the characters and

see .how together they make up
one play, one town, and one _
of life.

. duction of UNDER MI

At the first rehearsal, last Sun-
day night, February 20,*Bob But-
man, the director, in an introduc-
tory talk, tried to give the cast
some feeling for Thomas, After-
wards, the cast sat in a circle on
stools and read the play, taking
parts as they came, over a back-
ground of Thomas reading his
poetry on record and Fern Hunt
playing the piano. Each member
of the cast will eventually take
on several roles, since there are
68 characters altogether. Accord-
ing to Lance Jackson, working on
sets, there are many new partici-
pants in this production who will
add fresh outlooks to the play. He
hopes all the members will come
to express their own interpreta-
tions of their parts.

Lance says that he wants to make
the sets a support for the play,
yet very simple: like a skeleton
to which the characters will bring
life. It may even consist of a pile
of lumber and a few braces,

Finally, Lance hopes. the pro-
WOOD will
be a learning experience for the
cast, not just a performance for
an audience, He hdpe's each actor *

people in the glimpse of life.

Recently Elecied
WWC Secretary
To Speak Here

Eugene Carson Blake, elected
two weeks ago as general secre-
tary of the World Council of
Churches, and a leading figure
in the Council’s deliberation of
the question of church unity, will
speak on ‘*Why Church Union is
Important’? at a lecture sponsored
by Interfaith Wednesday, March 16,
at 7:30 p.m, in Goodhart.

Mr. Blake has been stated clerk
of the General Assembly of the
United Presbyterian Church of the
U.S, sirice 1958, and was presi-
dent of the National Council of
Churches during 1954-7, He has
led a group of American church-
men visiting Russian Orthodox
leaders in 1965, and is sponsoring
the ‘*Confession of 1967,’”? a re-
statement of faith now before the
World Council, demonstrating his
interest in increased communica-
tions among churches,

As an American representative
sto the council and member of its
general and executive committees,
he initiated much discussion last
year by submitting, with Bishop
James Pike, a proposal for merg-
ing of the Presbyterian, Episcopal-
ian, Methodist, and several
smaller denominations to form a
united world Protestant church,

Interfaith will also present, on
“Wednésday, March 2, visiting lec-
turer Stella Kramrisch in a dis-
cussion of ‘‘Hindu Aspects of \An-
cient Indian Art,’’ at 7:30 in the
Common Room,

nated group from the Social Chair-
man elected by Undergrad and
the dorm-elected Social Chairmen,

henceforth the two will be S€parate,

The campus Social Chairman
will be elected as usual from the
sophomore class, and she will
handle the finances and policy.
Her committee will then be chosen
by Undergrad from a list of volun-
teers, who will be responsible
for specific aspects of the social
committee: e.g. publicity, music,
and entertainment; — invitations,
correspondence ~and telephoning~
(Secretary); transportation and
food; decoration and clean-up.

Final vote on the wording will
take place next week.

Also at the meeting, the chair-
men of next year’s Freshman Week
committee weré=chosen. Esther
Stefansky and Lise Cohen, both
freshmen in Erdman, were elected
from the list of volunteers.

Next the council discussed a
Haverford proposal to provide se=-
ries tickets to the New York Met-

tained at reduced*price. This year
Haverford sent eight students every
other week to the Met, with the
school providing transportation,
Their suggestion was that Bryn
Mawr join with Haverford in pro-
viding a total of 16 places.

The cost of providing three cars
weekly would be about $150, bi-
weekly about half that amount,
After discussion, the concensus
that’ it would-be
wiser to put the money towards

The possibility of running buses
to New York on Saturdays ‘also
is being investigated.

Hall vice presidents are re-

In Glamour Competition

Kay Sue Ford, ‘68, has been
selected as Bryn Mawr’s ‘‘Best-
Dressed’? as part of GLAMOUR
MAGAZINE’s annual search for the
Ten Best~- Dressed College Girls
in America,

At a tea February 21, Kay°was
chosen from several nominees by
a panel of judges which included
Mrs. Whelihan, .Mrs. Lee of the
Alumnae Association, Ann Lov-
gren and Lynne Lackenbach, for-
mer editors of the COLLEGE
NEWS, Kitty Ellis, last year a
GLAMOUR winner, and _ three
members of the current NEWS
poard, Barbara Grant, ‘69, was
selected as runner-up,

Candidates were judged not only
on their appearance and poise
but also on their statements of
their personal philosophy of fash-
ion. When asked about her par-
ticular view, Kay responded,
** Actually, I don’t have one. Most
of the time I borrow my room-
mate’s clothes!’ Nevertheless,
Kay has been chosen to represent
the best of Bryn Mawr on several

162 Mawrters Dancing,
In H’ford’s Class Night

Haverford College has finally
lost one of the symptoms of being
a small, non-nationally knowncol-
lege: it no longer is emulating
Harvard. At least in terms of its
dramatic efforts. The class of
1967 has broken the sex barrier
and is casting girls in its class
night play for March 4, Director
Bob Sinclair has parts for 162
Bryn Mawr girls: 82 go-go dancers
and 80 chorus members. Theywill
be costumed by the Houses of
Swarthmore and Penn in Mondrian
dresses and white Courrege boots.

This gala production is ‘‘ex-
tremely professional and polish-
ed’’ according to an involved jun-
ior, Chuck Hardy. In fact, he has

revealed. that. if they were not all -

entrapped ®y academic responsi-
bilities, the show could go on the
road and be a smash almost any-

where. As it is, the play will
still leave lasting memories i}
the minds and hearts of all ju
iors, and will bind the two. clas
together for the rest of their c:
lege years.

Although the plot is secret, th

writers have consented to relea

a statement concerning the gener: .
tone of the production, It will be
‘witty, high camp, pop, socko,
clever and clean (as of now).’? In
addition it is a collage of college
expressionism. The lighting is all
new and weird, The music is an
original art form: rock-and-roll-
and-baroque. The backdrop is in-
describable.

In. case. there. are .any go-go

juniors who missed the first try-.

outs, Bob Sinclair is available to
listen to pleas and excuses at

Run, Mawrter, Run

Take «a look at the headline on page one: ‘Primaries Are Unnecessary
For Most Campus Offiees.’* However, there were plenty of nominations,
but almost as many refusals to run. And we complain about apathy to
the world OUTSIDE Bryn Mawr!

We’re wondering why so many Bryn Mawrters are sitting off-in their
corners ‘unwilling to stick their fingers in the pie. As a matter of
unfortunate fact, five times as many people ran for the GLAMOUR
contest than for most of the campus offices. Is it that people come to
Bryn Mawr already apathetic, or does Bryn Mawr breed apathy’?

The former can’t be true: most freshmen come here having been

. officers of their student bodies or editors of their high school papers
or some such, Bryn Mawr girls are admitted t6r their leadership as
well as for their grades.

If Bryn Mawr breeds apathy, the only excuse is that students become’

so involved in their academic work that they have no time or interest
in “extracurriculars,” or that they would rather direct their extra
time into the macrocosm rather than the microcosm, as the saying
gues,

We hesitate to accept the academic excuse because we don’t like
the idea of learning to live and to lead solely out of books, And we
don’t agree with the macrocosm excuse because the fundamental purpose
of most of the Big Six is to relate the Bryn Mawr girl to the outside
world via political affairs, the arts, religion or social work, as the
case may. be,

Editorials like this one tend to appear nearly every year at election
time. It’s not that there aren’t any qualified people to run -- we know
they’re around Bbecuuse they’re the only ones who have a right to beef
when the campus organizations don’t seem active enough,

But we’d rather see the names of the qualified on the ballots.
and better choice‘ means. a more beneficial Bryn Mawr.

Wee Hours

Last weekend, Bryn Mawr was supposed to have an all-campus 3:30
for both Friday and Saturday nights in rec ognition of Haverford’s
Freshman Weekend and to trv out the idea of getting the 3:30 tor both
nights instead of just) on Saturday. However, Merion Hall did not
participate in this experiment. Merion girls were not informed of the
extended sign-out time and so assumed they had a 2:00, It was a matter
of lack of communication between Self-Gov and the Merion Hall president.

Self-Gov is the protector ofthe Bryn Mawr honor system and therefore
has jurisdiction over matters of sign-outs, Once a week the Executive
Bourd meets with the hall presidents in Advisory Council to discuss
matters of interest and importance, The system is also meant to
disseminate information to students through their hall officers, But
last week it didn’t work. The Merion president got to the meeting late
and missed the news of the double 3:30, So Merion girls had a hour and
a half less of Friday night entertainment than did the rest of the campus.

This is more than a complaint for the loss of an hour and a half,
There is a tailing somewhere in the organization or in the personnel,
Since it has happened before th: ut communications from Executive
Board to students have’ broken down, the problem must be in the
procedure rather than in the individuals involved, Therefore the
importance of the matter is not in terms of a failure in the com-
munication of a 3:30 but rather of a failure in the mechanics of how
these kinds of communications are handled. The only solution is that
each student pay attention to the procedure of communication or the
substance of it becomes pointless,

Post Haste

The COLLEGE NEWS does not by policy use editorial space to air its
internal trials and tribulations, In this instance, however. the problem
of the newspaper is a reflectionof a discouraging and dangerous campus

« attitude. The eternal dormitory lament has spread to the NEWS -- we
don’t receive any letters.

A college newspaper carries a.double purpose, It serves as an ob-
jective reporter of campus news and as an organ of expression for
campus sentiment. Opinions are launched through two channels, the
editorial column and the space reserved for letters to the editor.

Each week the editorial board blends its views, reaching a composite
statement on current issues. There is no guarantee that this opinion
matches the majority or minority consensus of students, If no direct
response comes from the readers of the paper, the NEWS is prevented
from fulfilling its proper function. 0

As part of the coverage of the fast, the NEWS announced its eagerness
to print letters of reaction. Only two missives reached the editor -- one
personally solicited from Marian Brown and the other a correction of
a picture caption.

The problem has all the features of the proverbial vicious circle, If
Mawrters do not look to their newspaper as a mirror of college opinion,

ersonal commentaries.

A bigger

views on a wider basis than smoker discussions, Such a forum can exist
_only if students both read AND write our columns.

Editor:
jould like to bring to the

attention of Bryn Mawr College a

problenwwhich concerns me per-’

sonally and. which may have rele-
vance for a number of students.

I am acutely aware that there is

no group. of Jewish ‘students on
campus comparable tothe Catholic

“DiSéission group or the Student

Christian Movement. At the
present time. there is no organi-
zation which answers to the needs
of the Jewish student: not only is
there no outlet for discussion of
Jewish topics, but there is no cen-
tral body through which arrange-
ments-can be made for the observ-
ance of the Sabbath and holidays.
As a result. there is little or no
feeling of fellowship among Jewish
students.

I teel that this is lamentable,
especially in light of the exper-
ience which several Bryn Mawr
students had this past weekend at
the Twentieth Annual Hillel Collo-
held at Princeton Univer-

sity. Two. hundred students from

the, Ivy. League and_Seven Sister

schoals met at Princeton to com-

Barnard College Buys
Evil Bryn Mawr Hotel

Bryn Mawr’s New York name-
sake of ill-fame is now the proper-
tv of a fellow sister school, Bar=
nard College, Barnard purchased
the Bryn Mawr Hotel, former cen-
ter of crime, controversy, . and
contusion as part of a dormitory
expansion project,

The Bryn Mawr Hotel, a single-
room-occupancy at 420 West
121 Street, was notorious for in-
volvement in narcotiés, prostitu-
tion, and other assorted crimes,

Previous accounts of raids on
the hotel won the college dubious
publicity. The administration has
been forced to assert repeatedly
that the hotel is NOT the Bryn
Mawr Club of New York.

Purchased in 1964 by Remedco.
the real estate agency of religious,
medical, and educational institu-
tions of Morningside Heights. the
hotel roused,a neighborhood battle,
and ambiguous headlines.

According to certain civic

groups, Remedco purchased build-.

ings surrounding Columbia Uni-
versity to drive Negroes and Puer-
to Ricans from the area, Other
groups had attempted tor years
to encourage city action against
the hotel, which had become a
nest of illegal activities,

A court order granted the lease
of the Bryn Mawr to Remedco
in February 1965, Remedco sup-
ported a program for rehabilita=
tion of ‘the tenants and their re-

Aocation, When the building became

vacant in November, it was closed.

The Bryn Mawr Hotel willeither
be converted to a girls’ dormitory
or torn down for construction of
a new building, An architect will
decide the best use of the property.

Barnard is planning to incréase
its present enrollment of 1,650
to 2,000 by. the aeademic year

~1971 to 1972. Additional dormitory

space is neéded, and the college
is anticipating its long range needs,

TheBryn Mawr-Barnard fusion is
au part of this expansion program,

Miss Rosemary Park, President
of Barnard. revealed that the col=
lege expects to acquire another
neighborhood apartment building
this spring. New academic build-
ings will also be added to the
campus,

Of the present student popula-
tion, 730 occupy four dormitories
and an apartment-like residence
located nearby. About half of the
remaining girls live in University-
owned buildings or apartments

near the campus, andhalf commute

Arthur Cohen, editor-in-chief of

Sociology at Princeton, and Dr.
Ben Halpern, Associate Professor

socially.

It is my firm conviction that
similar activity would be reward-
ing for interested students at Bryn
Mawr. A Jewish group. working as
an integral part of the Interfaith
Association. could serve in the
following ways:

1. Make arrangements for stu-
dents wishing to observe the Sab-
bath and holidays,

2. Hold discussions among stu-
dents, invite speakers, and co-
ordinate activities with groups on
other campuses,

3. Act. together with other. re-
ligious groups on campus to pro-
mote amore stimulating discus-
sion of religious topics.

I hope that the candidates run-
ning for President of the Inter-
faith Association will attempt to
deal with this problem, and that
other interested students will also
express their opinions. Before In-
terfaith can truly live up to its
name, it must be responsive to
the needs of all religious groups

To the Editor:

Fr. James Jones, originator and
former head of St. Leonard’s House
in Chicago and worker in that
city’s. slums, was an Interfaith
speaker in the Commen Room on
February 14, »

St. Leonard’s is a half-way house
for ex-convicts, who enter it vol-
untarily after they leave prison.
Its major purpose is to efface the
effects ofthe prison’s manipulative
conditioning. The nationwide per-
centage of one-timers who return
to prison within three years is
75%, as compared to 25% in Eng-
land, 13% in Sweden, and 7% in
the Soviet Union. Among those
passing through St. Leonard’s the

percentage of returnees is 25%, ©

which seems sufficient indication
of its effectiveness.

Fr. Jones now feels that prison
reform is hopeless in the face
of‘ the fear and cruelty tending
to perpetuate present conditions.
He has turned his attention to
combatting the political, religious,
and economic factors conducive
to criminality.

Recalls Past Conflicts and Duties

by Eleanor Von Auw

Inspired of late, by her read-
ings for her British history course,
« with something of the spirit of the
seventeenth century English anti-
quarian, this reporter undertook
to discover what had been the na-
ture-of THE: COLLEGE NEWS tn=-
der the editorship of one of Bryn
Mawr’s current faculty members,
namely Mrs. Leach. ‘The result
of her researches has been to evoke
yet another piece of philosophic
speculation on the differences of
generalizations and of their
attitudes (as students) towards the
adult ‘‘outside’’? world.

For the NEWws: of a mereeight
years ago revealed itself to have
what seemed an essentially differ -
ent character from the present
NEWS. -- the differences appear -
ing too fundamental to be explain-
ed solely in terms of the per-
sonalities of the board members,
appearing rather to-derive from a
basic difference in the nature of
campus life aS a whole. The paper
that Mrs, Leach edited did not,
as a general rule, attempt to re-
port or comment on the political
events agitating and animating the
larger world. The principal object
of the NEWS writers andreaders
seemed to be to create anidealized

microcosm of the-adult world,

Thus Mrs, Leach’s' NEWS was

_ AESTHETIC VALUE

MRS. LEACH--former
wrote far-a year) at offce more
topical and more avowedly humor-
ous than ‘‘Applebee,’’ by a treat-
ment of campus activities as more
Significant in themselves, and of
the students’ relationship with
events beyond the campus as less
direct and less crucial than they
are genetally considered now.
Mrs. Leach herself, for example,
wrote a serious review of a Fresh-
man Show (as a dramatic produc-
tion and asa traditional piece) even
more lengthy than Mr. Schmidt’s
review of this year’s Show. There
was, it seems, a continuous battle
being waged with College Theatre;
there was certainly a vital inter-
relationship between the Theatre
and the NEWS. Mrs. Leach also
mentioned a rivalry between the

NEWS and _ the. ‘*Revue,’’ the
former .attacking the latter as
humorless.

‘“‘OurF generation was known as
the apathetic generation,’”? said
Mrs. Leach, and went on to dis-
tinguish between its apathy and that
which we today are continually
deploring in ourselves and each
other. What she described was a
time when it was difficult to get
a president for Alliance, when one
of the more effective of those final-
ly gotten could be a- philosophy
major planning to go to medical
school but evincing a ‘scholarly
interest’’. in politics.

Mrs. Leach and her classmates
and we today have both had to cope
with the paradox of being virtually
compelled to become fairly famil-
iar with people, concepts, and deal-
ings that must nevertheless remain
implacably strange. We are con-
tinually bombarded, through a var -
ious assortment of media, with
‘‘news’’ that must ultimately fail
to convey to us the essence of
that which it would report. For it
is nearly impossible for us truly
to grasp the meanings of forces,
gestures, movements on so much
grander a scale than those of gur
lives. Reactions to this ridin:
ment seem to be of two (more or
less opposite) kinds: (1) One con-
cludes the affairs of the outside
world to be without meaning and
apparently absurd for the indivi-
dual, who must therefore create

around himself a world in the cons.

his experience, and (2) one con-
cludes that his everyday life is
meaningless in so much as it fails
to participate inthe greater reality
of world-shaping and changing
events, that he must therefore un-
dertake to have a perceptible part
in their making. Mrs. Leach and
the campus of her undergraduate
years seem to have taken the form-
er ways; we, generally speaking,
appear to have taken the latter.

Adebo Talks on Nigeria,
Asks Audience To Write DC

by Dora Chizea

Don’t blame me, Yes, it’s not my
fault, Blame the COLLEGE NEWS,
which asked me to cover the talk
of Chief Adebo.

Chief Adebo is thé Ambassador
of Nigeria to the United Nations,
He came Friday, February 18, at
the invitation of the Economics
Department of Bryn Mawr to give

a talk on “Planning in a Changing
African Economy,”’

>

Let me tell you what his first
main sentence was, ‘I have not
come to talk diplomacy, so feel
free to ask me any question,”’
Well, on my part, I retort, “I am
not writing Freshman-Comp. So
don’t worry about my approach!’’

When I first got intothe Common
Room, and saw the number of
people waiting for him, I got slight-
ly confused. Yes I thought I was in
a subway! However, the audience
was well rewarded for its presence
by the informative, candid, hu-
morous talk of Chief Adebo.

Chief Adebo spoke mainly about
Nigeria, He said that the main
problems are that the people do
not really know how much material
resources they have, and do not
have a good soil survey so cannot
tell what plants they can grow, and
where they can grow them. Skilled

man-power is lacking and-there
are not enough schools, He also
said that unfortunately, the prob-
lems are distorted by colonial
powers,

These problems, he said, are
ones that need planning, He dis-
cussed at length ‘**The National
Plan “of Nigetia” whith -he- said

‘was ambitious. The plan is faced

with the problem of falling below
expectation for many. reasons,
‘¢*Foreign Countries who promised
us aid have not quite kept their
promises --,’’ Besides he said,
**We are also to blame for the
failure of the first three years,”’

Some leading economists have
failed for. various reasons, he
continued, ‘*Planning is not a sub-
stitute for thinking, Planning is
not a substitute for discipline.’’

He accepted the fact that most
of the sacrifice for development
has to come from the developing
countries themselves, but he
pointed...out.. that. external .aid is
still very necessary,

He alerted the audience to the
fact that the economic development
of the developing countries will be
one of the greatest problems ofthe
near future. ‘A poor country can-
not be stable.’”’ Well, friends, what
do you think of that? The first
thing that came to my mind after
his last statement in quotes, was
‘Sure, a hungry man is an angry
man,”? I am very positive you agree
with me, don’t you?

- Well to continue with the report.

Chief Adebo ended thé day with a
number of questions, He was very
light-hearted and kept the audience
rolling with laughter all through
his talk. He had a request to
make, ‘‘I appeal to all of you to
drop a number of lines to Wash-
ington, D.C, and ask that Nigeria
be assisted!’’

Well, like a patriotic Nigerian,
I have a point to make, ‘Don’t
forget the Private Sector is open
for investment, Your interests are
very well protected. Invest now!’’

Well, I guess I have done what
I was told to do, ‘*Cover the talk
of Chief Adebo.’’ Remember who
to blame: for my mistakes, If, how-
ever, you must drag it out with
me, I’ll add while the saying is

o

still in the air, ‘*Persecute me -

tomorrow, I’m busy?’
