Signouts Vanish
In Saturday Night
Hallowe’en Thefts
The disappearance of signout
books from Bryn Mawr dormito-
ries Saturday night, trick or treat
night, was ‘‘definitely not our
treat,’’ states Emily Bardack,
President of Self-Gov.
It appears that the culprits, who
‘removed ‘both: overnight and’ eve-::
ning signout books early Saturday
night, were Haverford freshmen,
Emily reports that Haverford Stu-
dent Council .officials were very
was the only one not deprived
‘of its book.
-Séme of the books were re-
turned before 12:30Saturday night,
-and‘some did not come in until
the. next morning. The bookless
dorms attempted to make do with
extra signout sheets for those
who had not yet signed out, al-
though it \had no record of the
missing signouts.
- Emily stressed the severity of
the problem of missing books on
two counts; first, Saturday night
was a night when students were al-
‘lowed to. sign. out until. 3:30. by
special permission of Self-Gov.
arid second, signout books are not
for public consumption, although
the individuals who removed.them
went so.far as to tear out some
pages.. Thus if a student did not
come in at the curfew, a search
for her would begin later than
~ usual, and in the absence of the
books, her absence might not even
be. definitely noticed.
The _lantern_men were natural-
» ly most upset by the. theft of thee
books.
Emily stated that Self-Gov. had
taken no steps as of yet to further
safeguard the books, ‘‘It would be
a pity and not really necessary
under normal conditions to chain
the books down; this is really
not a constructive answer.”’

As-a Shadow Play
Bryn Mawr and Haverford will
present PROMETHEUS BOUND as
a shadow. play November 21 in
Skinner .Workshop. The perform-=
ers will use the Edith Hamilton
translation of the drama by Ae-
schylus,
The presentation will use a two
dimensional approach, so that the
audience .will.see Only shadows,
The dialogue will be previously
taped instead of spoken live.
According to director Connie
Maravell, the shadow play formni is
an attempt to demonstrate the uni-
versality of this Greek drama.
—The more abstract: the-perfor+—-
_mance, the more universally the
themes can be applied. She hopes
that the technique will therefore
‘¢make the play stand on its ownon
the basis of what it has to say.’’

BMC Election Operation Merits
By. Nanette Holben
and Laurie Deutsch
‘This is not a rehearsal, and
we can’t do it again next Tuesday
night,’?’ joked NBC’s state elec-
tion manager Don Farmer, never-
theless implying the seriousness
of Bryn Mawr’s part in tabulating
the Pennsylvania returns. ° :
Approximately 500 Bryn Mawr-
ters, organized by Sandy Shapiro
‘and Betsey Pinckney, worked an
average eight hours at Convention
Hall in Philadelphia where they
-aided the. Network Election Serv- -
ice, a pool of five news media
united to increase efficiency and
cut cost.
After the operation Farmer
labeled BMC girls‘‘great, tremen-
dous ; "good leaders, ~ well-
organized, If I hadn’t had Betsey
and Sandy, I’d have beenin serious
trouble -- the work was. too much
for one person.’’
He went on to cite the ‘‘beauty
of working with students,’? who
‘‘picked up their jobs fast ina
complex operation where indivi- :
dual training was impossible.’’
_The majority of girls were tele-
phone operators (minus ' bouffant
hairdos-at Mr. Farmer's request),
accepting calls from 9286 voting
préeincts, which reported results
for presidential, senate and’state
congressional races.
Messengers hiréd from Temple
University relayed congressional
“returns to special desks for tabu- © «
lation, while slip sorters and
county tabulators filed, sorted and °
tabulated the other returns at
county tab tables.
Results then went to adding ma-
chines™ operated by Manpower, Inc.,
and tally clerks figured percen- —
tages.
Throughout the process clip-
board keepers stationed along
county and congressional tab tables

to the state desk, which relayed
the information by direct line to
the NES New York headquarters.

Involved in Antony and C leopatra
By Carol Garten
At a. rehearsal of Antony ard
Cleopatra this past week, College
Theatre Director Robert Butman
rejected the scholarly notion that~
the play concerns the fall of human
dignity. He :sustituted the theory
that ‘‘the play is about Cleopatra
becoming a woman, and Antony
becoming a map, in the simplest
sense of the words.’’|
Just what ‘*becoming a woman”?
entails he left somewhat vague,
although he did throw some light
-on-the- picture. when-he-commented. -:
that ‘‘the play’ is about knowledge
that..can be learned only through
‘the expression and constant testing
“of love---in the case of Antony
and, Cleopatra, only through a mu-
tual willingness to die for each
other.”?
Still in a chtlosophival mood,
Mr. Butman remarked that-he-
thought Shakespeare to have beena
being*of ‘‘utter compassion’’. He
advised that in order to fully com-
prehend Shakespeare’s genius, we
must look beyond the lines of his
“plays and listen for the sheer ~
magic behind them. ‘‘For Shakes-
‘peare,’”? he declared, ‘teaches
.everything this side of pr
ophecy.”

‘is shifted from heavy classicism
*to a vital And -pertinent.message
for the modern audience. In addi-
tion to a new emphasis, Napoleonic
costuming is another distinct fea-
ture of the production. Mr. Butman
equates its..ornateness with the
ornateness of Shakespeare’s verse.
The set, in stark contrast with
the costumes and verse, is to be
very simple. It is a block set,
consisting of platforms-and-incon-
secutive series of steps scattered
" purposefully about the stage. The
“simplicity of the set serves the

An Early Start.
The approach of Thanksgiving Vacation brings up a perennial problem
for the home-bound Bryn Mawrter. Required attendance at the last
class before . vacation is not. only an inconvenience, but frequently.
istance. seit #
after the last scheduled class
es the greatest problems. Labs
Thanksgiving vacation, which be
rather than ata specified hour, cai
_ or late afternoon classes frequently make it impossible for-students to ~
get home in time for Thanksgiving, due usually to bad travel connections.
Signing out of the last class is a necessary evil. The faculty is quite
justified in ‘insisting upon this rule“for fear of empty classrooms on
the last day of lectures. But the problem can be largely alleviated
without. abolishing the procedure of signing out.
If the beginning of Thanksgiving vacation could be put on the same
basis: as Christmas vacation, that is, starting for all students at
12:45 p.m. on the day before Thanksgiving, rather than‘at the end of
the last scheduled class, many ,of the problems would be relieved.
Students and faculty alike could make resonable travel arrangements ,
including taking advantage of rides from other schools, and get away
early enough to enjoy a real vacation..
Establishing a campus-wide time- for Set vacations would
require no major surgery on the academic schedule, nor would it |
_affect class attendance at the last lectures. And ‘it would be a- ‘great
convenience to both faculty and students.
November. Third
The election is over. President Johnson has “anand landslidingly ©
victorious, losing only five Dixiecrat states which. have until now
constituted one of the Democrat’s major party problems.
Johnson’s election fulfills a prediction made by James Reston last
November -- that the American people would place themselves under
moderate leadership, conservative, but not radidally conservative.
Kennedy’s death fostered a great desire to preserve the status quo,
to slip into, rather than stride towards the New Frontier. It spread
a cover of fear over the country, and the fear remained to dominate
the Presidential campaign. Many people, afraid of Goldwater’s extreme
_ and dogmatic views or of Johnson’s stand on. civil rights,.cast their os
votes for the other: candidate, the. one who least threatened their
. security.
~ One of Johnson’s many problems .is to work snbeicih the fear that
elected him. The government. must make substantial progress in the .
civil. rights and space. programs,.as well as. in foreign-relations ,-in—
-the next four years, and~ must do this in spite of the conservative
temper of the nation. The time demands progress; the people, tran-
quility. Johnson’s administration faces the dilemma of having to try
to embrace both.
Witless an.
Well, Havectord has done it again.
Stealing -hall signout .books, a matchless Hallowe’en trick, was.the
latest manifestation of Haverford’s own peculiar sense of humor.
Perhaps ‘this sort of prank is gratifying, or even funny, to Haverford

« boys. We, however, find it singularly -unamusing. It inconvenienced
a great number of students, especially hall presidents. It repre-
’ sented a particularly unwelcome invasion of privacy. But.most impor-
tant, it potentially endangered students: whose whereabouts could only
be known by their signouts.'
Haverford also exhibited its iii a sense of timing in this prank.
October 31, the night of the theft, was also the night of the Bryn
Mawr-Haverford Sophomore Weekend Boatride, for which Bryn Mawr
students had special 3:30 a.m. late permissions “if it had been imper- —
ative to reach a student on that evening, it would have been impossible
_ until’ she returned, possibly at 3:30. But if a student had been unable
“to return to her hall at 3:30, for any reason, there was no record of
her absence iy no- pieces ” _— = for hér. This second onl

Since this particular incident has sid it might be worth-
while to take some steps to avoid its recurrence. Perhaps Haverford
boys. might be informed- of the purpose—of. our signouts; i.e. that-of.-~last-week, the vote originally stood
contacting students in cases of real emergency and in checking the
‘safety of each student.. Perhaps it might also be stressed that signout
books are private documents, not public reading material.
A final distressing aspect of this*theft was that it was done by~
“Haverford freshmen. Although these freshmen might not have ‘been.
as well acquainted with Bryn Mawr sigrout procedure as Haverford
upperclassmen, they must surely have been indoctrinated with the
Haverford attitude of theft as ‘‘amusing’”? and Bryn Mawr’s equally
lenient ‘aétitude tn. accepting 4t. This attitude thay also be worth con-

B.M.C. -Yale Mental Mixer
Proves A Stimulating Affair -.
By Sinus Orbeton, °67
The Bryn Mawr-Yale mental
.mixer held October 24 was a
_.definite success. Both hosts and
guests found the event far more
enjoyable than traditional free-
for-alls. It provided an opportunity
‘for genuine exchange of ideas.
The mixer was held in the home
of Dr. Andrew Patterson, master
of Morse College. His daughter,
Ellen Patterson, is a BMC junior
in-Merion Hall, Participating inthe
mixer were 15 Bryn Mawr girls
and: 30 Yalies.
The springboard for discussion
was a lecture by Jose Delgada, a
““Yatephysiology professor: He
spoke on a series of behavior ex-
periments he had conducted. Elec-
trical impulses canbe sent through
electrodes cic in the brain’

Plans Taking Shape
~ For BMC-Princeton Play —
“\¢Hippolytus”” enthusiasts met
with Richmond Lattimore and
- Mable -Lang last Thursday evening
to discuss the play and possible
production techniques.
Traditional tragic drama masks
will be worn by ‘both principal
actors and chorus members.,°»
Speaking through the masks, how-
ever was agreed to be technically _
difficult, since masks would muffle
actors voices and in Goodhart
“Auditorium and in McCarter’ thea-
ter (both acoustically poor) many of
-the- lines: would-be: lost.
Pre-recording the production -
would also give added freedom: to
the chorus. Chorus members would
not then be faced with the difficult

simultaneously. Since the play will
be presented in Greek, it was felt
that the movement of the chorus —
should express, as fully as possi-
‘ble, the meaning and emotional
tenor of their speeches. Greater
~ freedom in its choreography might |
accomplish this.
'. Recording of the principal
speeches ‘will be done during a

film. study of the life of Negroes
in the Philadelphia area, scheduled
for .Wednesday, November 18, at
8:30 p.m. in the Common Room,

who made the film, last year.as 3
an honors project for a Sociology
course in Race Relations. Ex-
penses ‘for production of the 30-
minute film were paid jointly by
League, Alliance, and Arts Coun-

Michele describes the film 4s
an ‘‘impressionistic documen-
tary’’; rather than a strictly fac-
tual and educational presentation
' ef conditions in Philadelphia, it
is a more subjectively arranged
-{*montage’”’ of film clips concern-
ing general areas of life in the
Negro community; housing, educa-
tion, jobs, etc.
It is designed to give a general
impressionistic picture of the
scope of life in the Negro com-
munities in and near Philadelphia,
and to particularly point up con-
trasts. between upper-class Negro
families who have adopted the
values’ of the white society and
those Negroes who-live in slums.
Michele will provide a spoken

Art Show Invites.
All Creative Talent

A student Art Show will be held
on the Bryn Mawr campus in the
near future, so creative and even

take note. Plans are already made;
all that’s needed now-is original
work - painting, drawing, sculp-
dure, prints, photographs, odds and

“ mediums.
~Grace Seiberling, who is in
charge of the show, encourages
students of all classes to parti-
oipate. ‘If you’re embarrassed,
go ahead and turn something in
anonymously,’’ she stated. Facul-
ty members and grad students- are
' also invéted to participate in the
show. Entries are to be brought,
tagged and mounted, to 255 Rhoads

Accordings to Rabbi S
problem of a’ religionist
iro tiie
- cussing religion and race is to
deal with the challenge that re-
-ligious’ “tdeals “have” never been
fully realized. Religion, he said,
has never asserted itself in defense
of what it professes to believe.
As an example he gave the Jewish
persecution during World War I.
The recent Civil Rights ‘battle *
dramatizes religion’s dilemma.
The problem, said Rabbi Shapiro,
is-a problem of the dignity of man,
and since this is an ideal common
to all religious ideologies it serves
as a unifying factor. ‘“The Negro’s
problem is corrupting to the very
nature of society.’’ Rabbi Shapiro
felt that it is the duty of religion
to raise and save society.
One area, he said, where the
Church has failed is in developing
a sensitivity to the oppressions
of aun Fallow: ae A
~e ee weeser 6+ =e
go to church every week and still
continue to” ignore the sufferings
and injustices-around him. This,
said Rabbi Shapiro, strikes a blow
to the dignity of man and thus.
to the cause of religion itself.
For this reason: Protestant and
Jew are involved in a common.
effort for the first time.
Rabbi Shapiro also stressed the
lack of communication. .between
both religious denominations and
races. This is a basic problem
impeding progress.

A new *‘game’’ has replaced the

‘catried on in the Office of the
President and her Assistant, Mrs.

tion of doll-house sized balsa wood

demonstrate the furniture design
* submitted by “the office of Louis

The purpose of the two-room
model is to show, throughmanipu-
lation. of the furniture, how two
adjoining rooms may be converted
into a sitting room and a bed-
room for two, if the occupants *
desire this arrangement.
It is uncertain whether identical
curtains will be required for Erd-
man’s windows; readers'of the
August ’°63 issue of MADEMOI-
SELLE will recall College Board
member. Jane Goldstone’s .report
on ‘‘The Curtain War’? concerning
Erdman. Apparently, even at this
‘early stage Mr. Kahn intended to
install uniform curtains, much to
the dismay of students. If such a
uniformity is enforced, Mrs.
Whelihar® suggests that one could
hang ‘‘college curtains’’ to be
seen on the outside. Inside these,
however, one’s own individuality
could be preserved with paisley,
mohatr, or heirloom cheetah
drapes.
" Mrs. Whelihan wishes to stress
that all the above plans are aac
tentative.
