For Restoration

A faculty-student committee was °

quickly organized at Bryn Mawr
to raise money to help the salvage
and restoration work in Florence
as soon as the extent of the flood
damage became known.

Mr. Mitchell and Mrs. Hanson
of the History of Art Department
explained that money is needed
immediately to buy supplies in this
country or abroad to aid the re-
storers. Such supplies. have
been guaranteed free passage on

, Alitalia Airlines, and some Amer-

ican manufacturers have do-
nated certain materials, but
the need for funds is still ex-
tremely urgent. “

Principally needed by ~ the
salvage workers are humidifiers,
to keep manuscripts from drying
out and crumbling; microfilm, to
record hopelessly damaged mar-
uscripts (the very act. of

_ turning their pages to photograph

them causes them todisintegr ate);
a special thin blotting paper; and
a tough Japanese paper which can
be applied to paintings to hold
them together. Mrs. Hanson said
that parents or relatives of Bryn
Mawr students, who are involved
in the manufacture of any of these
materials and who wish to donate
them, should contact central supply
agents Miss Tosca Zagni and Miss

» Jean Volkmer at the Museum of

Modern Art in New York.
Contributions should be sent to
local branches of CRIA, Inc. In
this area, checks should be made
payable to the America Italy So-
ciety and sent to Mr. John
Price, the America Italy Society,

| Fund-Raising Still Under Way Archaeology Finds of Murlo Dig

Muddy but Not Damaged in Flood

by Robin Johnson

The disastrous floods which
devastated a large part of Italy
several weeks ago, and which hit
the museums, libraries, and
churches of Florence with par-
ticular severity, had a some-
what more direct relevance for
Bryn Mawr College in that As-
sistant Professor of Archaeology
Kyle M, Phillips, Jr., had stored
the finds from his dig at Murlo
in Tuscany in the basement of
the Florence Archaeological Mu-
seum,

Mr. Phillips was called toFlor-
ence to investigate the damage

Davison Suite to Open
Chamber Music Concert

Mme. Jambor will present a
concert of chamber music Sun-
day at 3 p.m. in the Music Room.
The opening piece on the pro-
gram will be a new work by Dr.
John Davison, a professor at Hav-
erford. His suite for the flute,
violin and piano will be performed
for the first time here.

Mme. Jambor feels that--Dr.
Davison brings three elements to
his work which make him one of
the most inventive, exciting young
composers today. These elements
are his ownpersonality, his knowl-
edge of past music, and his-use of
new musical media,

Like Dr. Davison’s piece, the
entire program will unite the con-
temporary and classical. Fol-
lowing Dr. Davison’s suite, works

National Defense Graduate Fel-

Defense Education Act, voted by

Congress in 1958. Under this
program, schools which are
awarded fellowships receive

uate students in specified fields.
(The school chooses the students.)

Time Inc. Grants
Women’s Colleges
Library Money

Bryn Mawr has been chosen
as one of 25 privately supported
women’s colleges to receive
$10,000 each from Time Inc.

President of the company, James
A, Linen announced that this money
will be given in the form of un-
restricted grants. He did add,
though, that he hoped the ‘‘money
might: be used in_connection with
libraries or library facilities.’’
The 25 scheols were chosen by

tions and the incidence of their

Last year was the first year
that Bryn Mawr applied for the
fellowships, and they were
awarded in the departments of
German, Math, Philosophy, and
Spanish. This year the college
received ten fellowships, for stu-
dents to be selected from among
the departments of Biology, Chem-
istry, French, German, Greek,
Latin, Mathematics, Philosophy,
Spanish, and Archaeology (Greek,
Latin, and Archaeology being
grouped by the government into
*«Classics"’).,



The Bryn thew Hovertoil Orches

by Mozart, Handel, Brahms and
Telemann will be performed. All
the performers are Bryn Mawr
and Haverford students. Mme.
Jambor, a self-styled perpetual
student, counts herself in that
group.

Mme, Jambor offers this pro-
gram out of the conviction that
chamber music can be impor-
tant from a non-musical point of
view. She feels that it inherently
teaches people the meaning of
reciprocity, of give and take with
someone else. A favorite theory
of hers is that ‘‘a good marriage
is like playing chamber music.
No one is the leader and every-
one is concerned with the other.’’
Even those Bryn Mawrters not
directly interested in music PER
SE may, therefore, find Sunday’s
concert unexpectedly beneficial,

tions be sent to areas in the

very soon after its extent became
known. He was handed a pile of
blotters as he stepped aboard the
plane, Shortly after he left, a
letter arrived for him from the
museum authorities reporting that
all the dig’s finds -- including
pottery and _ terracotta frieze
plaques -- had been destroyed,
Since then, more work has been
done in clearing the museum and
Mr. Phillips himself wrote Miss
McBride that ‘the material from
Murlo, although muddy, is not
damaged,”’

The Archaeological Museum,
however, received great dam-
age, even though it is nearly a
mile from the bank of the Arno,
Mr. Phillips said that flood water,
rushing along at 70 km, per hour,
*‘came up through the floor at

the same time that it crashed -

through the windows.’? The ex-
plosive force of the water rush-
ing into the basement, causing the
floor to buckle, knocked over some
of the cases, and inundated the
ground floor to a depth of four
feet. As Mr. Phillips wrote in
another letter, the. process of
cleaning and repairing damaged
pieces ‘‘will take at least five
years,??

Mr, Phillips -- who would have
had photographs and records for
his finds even if they had been
destroyed -- wrote in his letter
to Miss McBride that he expects
to be able to return this weekend,
and that he expects to campaign
to raise funds for the Museum,

The damage to the Archaeolog-
ical Museum was only one aspect
of the disaster. Irreparable dam-
age was done to other buildings
in Florence and to their contents
-- water-soaked frescoes and
-manuscripts,.

Mrs. Hanson of the History of
Art Department pointed out that
the water was so oily -- oil
stains up to four feet high are on
most of the buildings in the city --
that restorers who/ can usually
repair damage done by one or the
other have their work made doubly
delicate and complicated.

Mr. Phillips wrote that ‘‘the
National Library is impossible
to visualize,’’ and said that great-
est losses were of newspapers and
19th-century periodicals. The filth
in the water made clearance work
practically impossible, as_ stu-
dent volunteers formed a human
chain to get books and Renais-
sance manuscripts out. Many such
books were taken to the green-
house of the Palazzo Pitti to keep
them from drying out and crumb-
ling. Although, Mrs. Hanson said,
the restoration of oil-soakedfres-
coes may take twenty years, the
salvaging of the manuscripts de-
pends on immediate help to ac-
quire supplies for the restorers;

The principal organization set
up in this country to collect funds
to help restoration work is CRIA
-- the Committee to Rescue Ital-
ian Art -- with Mrs. John F, Ken-
nedy as its honorary chairman.
CRIA was originally set up at
Brown University ©

Mrs. Hanson pointed: out that
money donated to save Floren-
tine art will do much toward set-
ting the town on its feet again
economically, However, any-
one wishing to donate money for
the relief of the badly-hit small
shopkeepers and artisans of Flor-
ence may specify this when send-
ing contributions to CRIA,
Mrs. Hanson also mentioned that
all: contributions are tax-deduc-
tible.

Letters to the Editor

Key Contention

e

To the Editor: .

If you will allow me, I wish to
give a reply to two articles in
the last issue of the NEWS (Nov-
ember 18, 1966). They are the edi-
torial ‘‘Key to Sign-Outs”’ and the
letter to the editor ‘‘Room Keys.”’

The editorial suggests that with
keys, ‘‘ ... if a girl planned to
be out past 2 a.m., she should

‘sign out until 6:30 a.m. at which
time the dorms should be open...’?
That is very good. The hall presi-
dents and all the people who check
on sign-outs retire at 2:30 a.m.
The girl who signed -out till 6:30

was in a crash at3:15a.m.andthis ~

was not known by the college. At
6:30 a.m. many people are still
sleeping or are atleast trying todo
some honest work before 8 a.m.
There is breakfast and the day
begins. There is probably no dis-



Freedom of the Press :

Mr, DuBoff, in discussing his book AMERICA’S VIETNAM: POLICY,
THE STRATEGY OF DECEPTION (see p. 5), makes it very clear that
the U.S. press is being ‘‘intimidated,’’ ‘‘browbeaten,”? and generally
managed by the Johnson administration. These are strong words, but
even if they are only half-true, it is a dangerous situation.

Freedom of the press is guaranteed in: this country by the first
amendment to the Constitution. No nation whose people are making
the political choices can exist without complete ‘and honest dissemina-
tion of information. Correct decisions simply cannot be made unless all
the objective alternatives are known.

The coverage of the Vietnam war seems'to be denying the people the
knowledge needed to make the right evaluations and decisions. Mr. Du-
Boff pointed out that this is partly because the reporters themselves
do not really understand the country or the issues and so are unable to
ask the right questions, But the weight of the blame must fall on the
administration’s refusal to clarify its goals or release adequate facts
about what is going on. From what is known now about the ‘‘peace of-
fensive’”? of last winter, it appears that the troika of Johnson, McNam-
ara and Rusk are essentially ignoring the alternative of sincere diplo-
matic negotiation as a means of ending the war. They want a military
victory and it can be argued from their statements that they are will-
ing to commit genocide to get it.

In.order to wage a successful war, it is necessary to have the people
behind the government’s position. Johnson is very aware of this, and
he is using the press tosomeextentas a propaganda machine to mobilize
public support.

As apart.of the U.S, press community, albeit a small one, the NEWS
objects to this kind of behavior, Management and censorship of the news
is wholly incompatible with principles of liberty and fairness to which
we theoretically subscribe, A free press is not the only ingredient nec-
essary for a viable democracy, but it is most certainly an extremely
important. one. We thus would like to go on record as opposing the
Johnsonian tactics which are pointed out in Mr. DuBoff’s book and which
are impinging on the freedom of the American press,

Funds for Art

The damage done to Florence by the recent floods means some
irreparable losses to the world of art, but Bryn Mawr College can
do its part to save what is salvageable. Mrs. Hanson notes happily
that more than $600 was donated by Bryn Mawr people prior to Thanks-
giving, and the tallying of the post-Thanksgiving gifts to date is still
under way. Further contributions are more than welcome.

Since funds are so urgently needed, we suggest to Arts Council that
it organize a Fast for Florence, organized the same as the NSA
Freedom Fasts. Saga would probably be more than willing to cooper-
ate, and, no doubt, so would a majority of the student body.

Whatever the fund-raising measures, do try to help out.

_ The New Trend

The responses to the NEWS editorial on dorm keys turn out to be
both pro and con, but despite any, criticisms of the concept of the
system, we do not retract our proposal, but urge once more that the
Constitutional Revision Committee give it serious thought. The sug-
gestions put forth in the letter from the group of seniors (‘‘Dorm
Keys’’) are especially valuable, particularly the point that the keys
be stamped ‘‘illegal to duplicate.”

If the system has worked out at other women’s institutions, as
well as co-ed ones (and the trend toward the use of dorm keys seems
to be... spreading), there is no reason why it should not work at Bryn
Mawr. We-can see no reason why it would conflict with the philosophy
of Self-Gov; instead we repeat that it would serve to enhance the honor
system..

covery of the missing girl (what
with “room keys’’ as I will talk
about soon) until, maybe the fol-
lowing night!

That is not all. A girl who has
been having such a nice time that
she can only return at.49a.m. wan-
ders in one blessed morning. Inthe
name of ‘‘expression of the in-
tegrity of Self-Government ...’’
she opens the door. There is a man
standing at the corner of the build-
ing -- a perfect stranger -- he
goes in with her. We might expect
a number of things -- from molest-
ing the other sleeping girls to a
repeat of ‘‘Chicago’s night of
Horror for Eight Doomed Nurses!”?

Tell me that is impossible.

Then you suggested that ‘‘the re-
sponsibility for the keys rests with
the students, and loss or mis-
use of them would not be treated
lightly ...’? If I may ask, how
heavy do you want the punishment?
From discredit clause to asking the
student to replace the keys?

And all you conclude from your

- argument is ‘* ... we add that the
system we propose would be an
even greater expression of the
integrity of Self-Government at
Bryn Mawr.’?

Pardon me if this is taking too
much space -- but at least, itis a
letter and I always like t6 write
people who do not mind the length
of my letter.

Well, as I was saying, the last
point brings me to i en Keys,’’
a letter written by Marina Wal-
lach, ’70,

I am happy you called it ‘‘petty
theft.’’ These thefts are not serious
at all. A broad-minded view of the
things stolen show that they are
not thefts, ‘‘but taking away of
things without permission.’ I do
not mean to be funny. If there is
any stealing at all, it is because
there is NOT ENOUGH COMMUNI-
CATION,

If I could communicate to some
reasonable extent with my next-
door neighbor, I do not have to
‘¢steal’? her packet of cookies.
All I do is ask, ‘‘Hey girl, you
got some cookies?”’ In her absence,
I could take her cookies (because
I was hungry) and tell her later,
‘Boy, it’s a nice thing you had
some cookies in your room! I
would have starved!’

What we need is better com-
munication and understanding. It
is sad enough that many of us
do not know the names of our
next-door neighbors, let alone step
into their rooms -- for a friendly
visit -- but it is CRIMINAL to
suggest that we have keys to our
room so we can turn Bryn Mawr

' College dormitories into apart-

ment houses and defeat the very
purpose of living in dormitories.
And, my dear, for property secur-
ity there is a safe in Pembroke for
valuables.

‘Petty Theft’

To the Editor;

Re the letter of Dora Chizea
on the issue of room keys for dor-
mitory establishments: it would
seem apparent that the author of
the former has misunderstood
either the significance of a lock
on a door or the reason such in-
Stitutions exist. When I referred
to **petty theft’? in a recent issue
of the COLLEGE NEWS, I was
speaking of a sum approximating
$200 which had disappeared in the
term of a few weeks from rooms
in Rhoads Hall, accompanied by
sundry other robberies of alesser
nature, ° eer

Leaving aside the obvious im-
plication that such crimes carry
with them as to ‘intent, and even
allowing that one or two mem-
bers of the college community
could be isolated as the perpetra-
tors, it is nonetheless made ap-
pallingly clear that such criminal
actions could be the hallmarks of
a sick or emotionally disturbed
mind in which case control and
regulation is difficult event with
properly secured chambers. I
would find it distressingly diffi-
cult to comfort a victimized fel-
low student by informing her that
although she had lost her savings
and/or her belongings, she hadim-
proved the cause of academic
social communication, Let us ace
cept reality and admire idealism
which would mean locks on doors
(or the option for their institu-
tion) without, necessarily, any ace
companying communal indiffer-
ence.

Marina Wallach, ’70

Dorm Keys

To the Editor:

We agree with the NEWS’ sug-
gestion that keys to the dormi-
tories be given to students, but we
feel that the plan should be altered
in two ways: (1) keys should be
GIVEN to students permanently, not
signed out on occasion; (2) we
should take advantage of the fact
that keys make it possible to ab-
olish the undesirable 2:00 curfew
system. (The 2:00 curfew has un-
fortunately become the earliest
limit rather than the latest limit of
return from a date: many students,
especially younger ones, seldom
return until 2:00 even though they
may want to, because of social
pressure, Haverford transporta-
tion, or whatever.) We propose:

(1) A 12:30 curfew (reasonable
for nearby campus events, study-
ing, etc.) before which time no
sign-out is necessary and doors
are opened by door-keepers.

(2) A student planning to return
at any time between 12:30 and
6 a.m. must sign out, use her key
to return and sign in, The lantern
man will check each dorm at6a.m.
when he opens the doors, andif any
student has not returned, ap-
propriate measures will be taken.
(Under the present system of 2a.m. -
curfew, at least in the instances
with which we have had experience,
if a phone call does not locate the
student at 2 a.m. noother action --
deans, parents, or police -- is
taken until early morning.)

(3) If a student plans to.return
after 6 a.m., she signs out in the
over-night book as usual.

(4) Freshmen, during the ‘‘ad-

_ justment’’ period before they have

taken the Self-Gov exam, must sign

out keys with a permission giver

(and can be given a provisional

_ 2a.m, curfew if necessary).'

wo Seti wh Sime ik ait 27 |

me-consuming measure inappro-
priate to the Honor System, The
only reason to sign out a key rath-
er than give it outright is the great=
er possibility of loss: surely a stu-

dent can look after her key when she,,

is not using it. A sizeable fee for
replacement should virtually elim-
inate losses. Even if a key were
lost, there will be no means of
identifying to which college or
dormitory it belongs, and other
institutions have found that en-

graving ‘‘It is illegal to duplicate |

this key’’ on the key makes copy-
ing impossible.

Questionnaire
8

{

To the Editor:

I would like to express public-
ally some of the thoughts I have
been having about the . response
to the Alliance questionnaire on
Vietnam that was distributed re-
cently. Out of the more than 700
students to whom the questionnaire
was given fewer than 200 took the
time to answer and return them.

It seems to me that there could be*#

a variety of explanations for this.
Perhaps the questionnaire was too
long and involved, and the failure
of so many people to return it is
but another indication of campus
apathy we hear so much about.
But perhaps the lack of response
indicates. something a bit more
serious. Are only 200 students at
Bryn Mawr concerned about the
war in Vietnam?

The lack of knowledge displayed”

by those. who did respond to the
questionnaire would indicate that
perhaps this is the case. There
were several individuals who did
not know what the NLF is, one
or two who asked who Ky is,
and one who cited North Viet-
namese air raids on South Viet-
nam, which do not exist, as a
reason why the United States should

continue air raids on North viet-*

nam.

The response to the question-
naire was strongly in opposition
to the war. Is this because Bryn
Mawr as a whole is opposed to the

Goucher Ends Curfew

A senior may choose her own
curfew up to the hour of 6 a.m.,

It seems that curfews have be-
come a major issue at: many col-
leges, and more and more are’
adopting new systems to contend
with the demand to extend curfew
hours.

At Goucher College, the 6 a.m.
curfew bill, unanimously approved
by the Student-Faculty Committee,
was signed by the President of the
College, Otto Kraushaar.

This new plan has been adopted
on a trial basis, for seniors only.

Ali Akbar Khan

Next Performer

The Haverford College Art
Series will bring one of the masters
of Indian music to the Main Line
December 10.

Ali Akbar Khan, who will
perform in Roberts Hall at 8:30
p.m., is a virtuoso of the sarode,
qa 25-stringed instrument that is
slightly longer than a guitar.

The sarode’s importance inton-
temporary Indian music is
attributed to its popularization by
Ali Akbar’s father, Dr. Allaudin
Khan, known as ‘‘the father of
instrumental music in India.’

Ali Akbar’s first appearance
inzthe United States was in_1955,
when he performed at the Museum
of Modern Art in New York, at the
invitation of Yehudi Manuhin. Since
then he has made several world
tours, and has written numerous
movie scores. In 1963 he .was
given the President of ‘India award
for his composing.

He will be accompanied by two
musicians playing the tabla,.a
North Indian drum, and the tam-
pours, a long-stemmed lute.

Ali Akbar’s appearance will be
the fourth attraction in the 1966-
67 Art Series.

The fact that this new sys-
is limited to seniors does
not imply that other classes do
not have enough responsibility to
be given this privilege, but since
the plan is on a trial basis it is
felt that the limitation will make
it easier for the administration
to see its effects on the com-
munity,

Radcliffe has long had a similar

Haverford, '68

It is sometimes said that each generation of
youth finds a hero who will typify for it its
desires, its strengths, its weaknesses. Men such
as Humphrey Bogart, Albert Camus, and Char-
les Lindbergh have symbolized an era and a psy-
chological stance for later ages. It is not un-
likely that the social historian of the sixties will
declare LE BYRON DE NOS JOURS to be Frank
Esterhill.

Another heroic figure, but the SUBJECT of a
Monarch outline, is introduced to us reciting his
vast learning and asserting its essential worth-
lessness. Twentieth-century Faust that he is,
Francis J, has written down his learning. Among
select circles it was long awaited, There are still
a few people on the Main Line who knew of and
shared in the agony and soul-searching that went
into ROMAN LITERATURE (Monarch Notes, 865-
6). It is at once a history of ancient literature
and -- to those with eyes to see -- the record of
a man’s growth.

During the Renaissance in Italy, it is said that
many of the greatest painters employed their
apprentices in painting their masterpieces. Prob-
ably sections of the great theatrical masterpieces
of Elizabethan England also were created in a
similar fashion. So it is no disgrace that Ester-
hill?s CHEF-D’OUEVRE shares this trait. To
the overly fastidious the reply is that although
no Emily Post ‘of composition, we can safely as-
sert that no average Joe could have had a hand
in this work,

To those who had contact with the profound
yet rigidly rationalistic mind of Frank Esterhill,
it will come as no surprise that the best parts
of the book are those dealing with Lucretius,

F. J. Esterhill

The Agony and the Esterhill

Cicero, and the prose giants of Rome. He is
remarkably insensitive to Roman poetry (Catullus
is the exception, PROBATNE ILLUD REGULAM?)

and his attitude toward Propertius and the Aeneid

is almost Germanic in its lack of sensitivity.
(I speak of the Germany of Wilamowitz-Moellen-
dorf, not that of Clemens Bretano.)

The bibliographical notes that complete each
chapter are of a helpfulness far surpassing the
usual Monarch volume -- a point slightly shock-
ing to him who knows that vigorous bibliograph-
ical training that is a mark of contemporary
American scholarship. Yet the commentary it-
self shows a noticeable decline in quality and
quantity for the Silver Age.

‘ne best part of the book and what may come
to be considered the LOCUS CLASSICUS of Es-
terhill’s critical thought is the section on the
DE RERUM NATURA of Lucretius, To those
of us who attended his lectures, page 52 will
recall a similar, much-botched diagram of yore.
And the comments on the separate books provide
suggestive hints in explaining the problems in the
puritanical materialism of the poet (and of his
commentator?). The subtle but unnecessary ref-
erences to his former colleagues scattered through
the book are of course in questionable taste.

All in all the book is worth reading, especially
before _the--Grove Press edition ups the price
($1.95). The emphases of the book, though un-
usual, yet are valuable and interesting. And for
those who shared the company of this remark-
able man, it will serve to recall a brighter and
a freer era, in which, if it was not the SATURNIA
REGNA, giants walked the earth and the lights
of the Mermaid Tavern glimmered through the
windows of Tenth.

prohibited from entering Mont-

she was going to discuss ‘‘Soviet-

show slides of Moscow State Uni-

Several weeks ago, when Dr.
Boyko was first invited, she
checked with the State Depart-
ment and they approved the in-
vitation. On closer examination,
however, it appeared that Mont-
gomery County was off limits to
citizens of the Soviet Union who
worked in the Embassy in Wash-

are permitted to enter.) Thus
the Wednesday before Thanksgiv-

cancelled the engagement.

No one seems to know why

Delaware County, for example,
is not classified this way, and
Dr. Boyko would have been able
to speak at Swarthmore. It seems
that in some cases, certain coun-

Russian citizens because in the

Three Villanova Geology Majors
Loving Every Minute of BMC

al



Kevin Mahoney, Peter Redig, and Richard Ko Isch:. Villanovans studying here.

by Mary Lowe Kennedy

You walk into Dr. Lincoln Dry-
den’s 201 Paleontology class,
and you think, ‘*Oh, well. Haver-
ford has taken over again.??
For there sit three or four girls
and five boys. But wait! These
heads are close cropped, and these
shirts are clean! Something is
terribly, terribly right.

Three of those boys--Kevin Ma-
honey, Peter. Redig, and Richard
Kélsch--are from Villanova, com-
pleting their majors in geo-
logy at Bryn Mawr because
of an unusual set of circumstances
in their own Geology Department.
(The other two are actually from
Haverford, and they are fine-
looking boys. One of them was
recently the subject of a feature
in the Philadelphia Inquirer--he
is taking all his classes at Bryn
Mawr.) ay

The Villanova boys were

Two members of the Class of

bethe Roueche, as well as one
member of the Class of 1964, Rosa
Unger (all former students at
Bryn Mawr College) took the De-
cember issue of the State Depart-
ment Foreign Service Exam last
year.

The exam, which is designed to
sift out potential junior foreign
service officers for training is
offered at various times in the
year on a national basis. The
written segment of the test con-
sists of four parts: General Abil-
ity, English Expression, General
Background, and Special Option
Tests, all of which represent five
hours and forty-five minutes of
work. In the exam which was sub-
mitted last December, a training
class of 43 members was evolved
of which 37 were men. The Bryn
Mawr contingent was the second
largest to be accepted from any

H, Watson, head of Bryn Mawr’s
Geology Department, explained
that for a long time Bryn Mawr
had the only geology department
between Hopkins . College, Balti-
more, and Princeton. But
they had been encouraging other
schools to institute departments,
and these days, said Dr. Watson,
they’re springing up ‘‘like mush-
rooms.’? Many geology de-
partments have been developed
in schools around here, ‘‘follow-
ing in Bryn Mawr’s footsteps.’’
But the one recently begun at
Villanova was unsuccessful, and
last year it was dissolved, leaving
the three geology majors high
and dry. Their dean called Dr.
Watson last summer, and it was
agreed that the three should com-
plete their majors at Bryn
Mawr. They get back and forth
between the two schools by cars

Kevin Mahoney is abrunette with

his parents moved from Hungary
to Brazil during the Hungarian
revolt of 1956, and they live in
Brazil now. Richard Kolsch is
a husky blonde, full of good-natur-
ed good humor. All of them
are quite voluble, and apparently
enjoy exchanging quips with any-
one that comes along. When
asked how they felt about being
shunted around to Bryn Mawr,
there was a hearty chorus of
‘sOh, I like it]?? and ‘‘We love

DuBoff’s Book Blasts Government on Vietnam Deceptions

by Kit Bakke and Kathy Murphey

AMERICA’S VIETNAM POLICY, THE
STRATEGY OF DECEPTION, by Edward
S, Herman, associate professor of finance
at the University of Pennsylvania, and
Richard B, Du Boff, assistant professor
of economics at Bryn Mawr, was recently
published by the Public Affairs Press
of Washington, DC.

We spoke to Mr. Du Boff last week about
his book and about politics and American
society in general. ‘‘Now,’’ he said, ‘it

turns out that in the book we were quite °

conservative. It?s three times as bad
as we’ve got it in there.’? What appears
to be so bad is an apparent policy on
the part of the American government to
say that it wishes peace and sincere
negotiations in Vietnam, while actually
being willing to accept only unconditional
surrender on the part of the enemy and
being prepared to commit genocide to get
that surrender,

The authors admit that the problem in
Vietnam is confusing; infact, ‘‘confusing,’?
*¢complex’’ and ‘I don’t know’? were more
often heard than any other words during

“the interview. However, their book makes

clear at least one aspect of the war:

that when the American government speaks
of peace and restraint and negotiations,
it can’t be taken at face value. In their
book they say, ‘‘It is important to recognize
that in reference to South Vietnam, ‘in-
dependent’? is employed by spokesmen
for the United States in an Orwellian
sense, synonymous with ‘non-Communist
and attached to our side.’’? The other point
is.that ‘‘negotiations’’ means ‘‘acceptance
of our terms of unconditional surrender.’?
Mr. Du Boff thinks that the National
Liberation Front (NLF) and Hanoi and
Peking all understand how these terms
are used, while the American public
does not. Their book is an attempt to
correct this ignorance.

When they began working on this sub-
ject in November, 1965, the first rev-
elations were beginning to be made public
with respect to the U.S, turning down
peace feelers from various parts of the
world, and especially from U Thant and the
United Nations. About six weeks later the
first draft was done and was mimeographed
as a 36-page treatise entitled ‘‘How to
Coo like A Dove While Fighting to Win:
The Public Relations of the Johnson Policy
in Vietnam.’’? Then they let it sit until
April. During this period the much pub-
licized peace offensive had failed, and
astute reporters and analysts were realiz-
ing that the peace offensive had not
actually offered anything new in the way
of peace terms, and that the only real
effort made during the winter months
was to gain favor and support at home
and abroad for Johnson’s far eastern
policies. It was then that they wrote the
four appendices and began seriously re-
writing the treatise. By August they were
revising the galley proofs.

The book, then, is extremely current,
It is also extremely factual, which makes
it a useful book for people who do-not
agree with the authors’ biases as well as
those who do.

* Hanoi Aid Marginal

One of the historical points that needs
publicizing is the relationship, past and
present, of the NLF and Ho’s Hanoi
government. According to Mr. Du Boff,
Hanoi did not begin to aid the NLF
until 1960, partly because it was shamed
into doing so by the recent and active
successes of the NLF in South Vietnam.
Hanoi had refrained from aiding the NLF
before then because it was afraid of
American attacks and of becoming in-
volved in Cold War forces larger than
it could handle. Even now, he describes
Hanoi’s aid program as ‘‘marginal--10-
15%? of the NLF’s total resources,

This seems to indicate that much ¢f the
unrest is indeed a civil conflict, which
the Johnson administration refuses to
admit. Mr. Du Boff sees that the NLF
and Hanoi have some interests incommon,
but that they definitely diverge in places.
The NLF, for instance, does not favor
immediate unification of the north with
the south under the Hanoi government.

Not only do Americans not know ‘much
about whom-they are fighting, but the U.S,
government has not explained much about
whom we are supporting. General Ky’s
government stands only because it is
backed by the U,S, military. Ky himself
is not known for’ his Vietnamese

patriotism, as shown by the fact that
he was in the French armed services
fighting against the Algerian nationalists
in Algeria and. was’on the French side
when the Vietminh was fighting the French
colonialists. He also could not be con-
sidered an admirer of American freedoms
and ideals, since in July 1965 he told a
British reporter that his ‘‘only hero’?
was Adolf Hitler and that Vietnam could
use three or four Hitlers now.

Mr. Du Boff also clarified the situation
of the Constitutional Assembly which was
elected earlier this year. Not only was
no one of neutralist or central persuasion
allowed to run for the assembly, but the
predominent cast of the group as elected
is northern. That is, they are almost
all Catholic refugees from the north,
land-owners and generally tied to the
upper classes, and not at all representa-

tive of the wishes of the majority of the

Vietnamese people. 6

The fact of U.S, involvementis certainly
a concrete one. Why we are there is a
question that this book does not attempt
to answer. But it certainly is true that
the U.S, has come a long way since May 9,
1962 when Secretary McNamera said
‘¢There is no plan for introducing combat
forces in South Vietnam,’ or even since
September 25, 1964 when President John-
son said, ‘‘We don’t want our American
boys to do the fighting for Asian boys. We
don’t want to get involved in a nation
with 700 million people and get tied down
in a land war in Asia...’? When asked why
the U.S, is there, Mr. Du Boff brought
the whole issue into the context of the cold
war (see below) but also discussed the
personalities involved.

Rusk Dangerous

Secretary of State Rusk is, he thinks,
very dangerous. Many of the flat lies the
government feeds the people about Vietnam
he attributes to Rusk. On the other hand,
‘‘McNamera is relatively straight for-
ward.”? The problem with Rusk is that he
is supposed to be the foreign policy

. advisor to the president and NOT military

advisor. He should be the one to present
the diplomatic alternatives at Cabinet
meetings, and instead he is sounding like
one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. As a
result, the State Department is becoming
a part of the Defense Department and is
no longer reflecting its own point of
view and its own unique area of intelli-
gence,

This is added to the questionable know-
ledge of Rusk in far eastern affairs. He
left the State Department in 1951 when he
was very upset over the removal of
General MacArthur during the Korean
War. In a footnote, Mr. DuBoff and Herman
say that ‘‘(Ho and the NLF) are presumably
the ‘tools’ of the Soviet Union, China,
or a more vague ‘world conspiracy.’ It
is not certain that Mr. Rusk has re-
linquished this simple-minded view (in
1951 he regarded the Chinese Communist
government as a ‘colonial Russian govern-
ment, a Slavonic Manchukuo’), but its
inadequacy is generally recognized by
students of the Communist world.”’

The real deception comes not.so much
in just not having the knowledge, but in
Johnson’s ‘‘browbeating and intimidating’’
of reporters. Although Mr. Du Boff sees
that the ‘‘brutality and the crudeness
of it is Johnson?’ he suggested that Kennedy
did the same things in a less ob-
vious manner, One. example he gave
which is not in the book is about Senator
Frank Church of Idaho. Sen. Church had
been giving a few speeches questioning
some of Johnson’s tactics, which Johnson
didn’t like. When Johnson was out in
Idaho helping to dedicate a dam, he is
reported to have told Church that he
didn’t think much of Church’s latest
speeches. Church said that he was only
saying the same things that Walter Lipp-
mann had been saying for some time.
Johnson apparently replied, ‘‘Well, next
time you need a dam, see if Walter
Lippmann can get it for you.’’

So not only does Johnson manage the
news to the extent of punishing reporters
by not giving them stories if they dis-
please him (or actually going to their
publishers and suggesting they take a
vacation), but he also tries to keep other
el d officials from publicizing points

“tsp different- from his. own. Then
of Qgurse, there is the blatant news
mangagment of simply refusing to tell
the news what is going on. Mr. Du Boff
places some of the blame onthe reporters
themselves,’ They do not understand the



situation or the country well enough to
ask the right questions. ‘‘There. are some
damn good ones (in Saigon)’’ he said, but
on the whole the ‘ ‘difference between the
British and French reports and the Am-
erican ones is like the difference of night
and day.’’

In talking about deception, a question
naturally arises concerning the motives
of the deceivers. Is’it intentional? Are
they malevolent? Or just stupid? Neither
our discussion, nor the book was able to
come up with any definite answers. The
issues of power and power politics in the
Cold War clouds up what might otherwise
be crystal-clear motives. Mr. DuBoff
seemed to think that the decision-makers
probably do believe in an international
Communist menace, and perhaps even
in. Rusk’s vague Communist conspiracy.
Perhaps they see Communist dealings
in every war of national liberation or
revolution. Perhaps they believe that the
domino _theory_is applicable to South
East Asia, and that if Communists are
allowed to take over South Vietnam, then
they will swarm all over the entire
peninsula. On the other hand, that doesn’t
really explain why the leaders aren’t
willing to be frank and honest with the
people.

Why The Deception?

It is hard, then, to believe that the United
States is sincere in its peace efforts in
Vietnam. It is almost equally hard to be-
lieve that the American government
is purposefully deceiving the people it
represents. What is the reason behind the
‘“‘strategy of deception??? Why is the
United States gradually escalating the
war to a dangerously high level when
peace, its stated goal, has often seemed
so near at hand?

Mr. Du Boff feels that this is a very
complex question. The current trend of
an increasingly deep U.S. military in-
volvement in Vietnam can’t be written
off as simply a blunder, or a result of
Johnson’s ignorance about foreign policy.
The continuance of the war is not wholly
due. to the fact that U.S. leaders have
become victims of their own commitment,
nor are they concerned just with their
own reputations. It can be explained part-
ly in terms of traditional and new po-
litical and economic forces.

Mr. Du Boff thinks that the American
role in international politics has tra-
ditionally been one of power. The. con-
sciousness of American power has con-
tributed to our feeling of confidence in
intervening in world affairs today.

New political factors in the past two
decades have also put the United States
into a position of which Vietnam is a
result. The origins of the Cold War,
Mr. DuBoff says, are at the roots of
the situation in Vietnam today.

Since the end of World War II there
has been a confrontation of social systems
he claims. To the capitalist nations of
the West, after the war the eastern
communist power represented a social
and economic system that must be fought.
Hoping to weaken the East, the Western
nations plotted the Germans against the
Russians, “planning that the two would
destroy each other. In a boomerang
fashion, the Soviets were not crushed;

they expanded,

The upswing of Soviet power alarmed
the West. In their fear of communist
influence, the Western leaders were led
to develop a strategy of containment.
Containment was designed to collapse
the Soviet Union, to ‘‘change it by com-
pulsion,’’ says Mr. Du Boff. The
West attempted to surround the East
with missile bases and pro-Western
governments.

To convince the West of the necessity
of this action against their former ally,
the myth of the ‘‘iron curtain’? and the
international ‘‘communist conspiracy?’
‘was generated. According to Mr. Du Boff,
the leaders who propagated this myth
did not believe it. They were concerned
only with constricting the Soviet Union.
The Soviets naturally reacted to this
policy. By moves such as the overthrow
of the Prague government in 1948, they
convinced the people of the West that
the ‘‘communist conspiracy’’ was a real-
ity.

Throughout the Truman and Eisenhower
administrations the United States dealt
with the ‘‘communist conspiracy’’ rather
conservatively, Mr. Du Boff feels. There
was a nuclear stalemate, and the conflict
between East and West was largely
passive.

With the advent of Kennedy, Mr. Du Boff
feels, U.S. policy turned openly inter-
ventionist. Kennedy thought, according
to Mr. Du Boff, that although the United
States was ‘‘atomically musclebound,’’
it must fear and be able to deal with
smaller ‘‘wars of liberation.’’ Kennedy
established the Green Beret special forces
and devoted a large. part of the budget ,
to arms. He, says Mr. Du Boff, upheld
a commitment to respond to anything
that was thought to be communist or
revolutionary. He made U.S. military
power flexible enough to deal with any
kind of threat.

From this legacy of a U.S. anti-com-
munist commitment in theory, and
of Americas intervention in other
countries to build actual bastions of anti-
communism, springs. the Vietnam war.
Mr. Du Boff claims that the same situa-
tion could have occured in Cuba or in
Guatemala.

Mr. Du Boff briefly discussed economic
forces which affect the United States
involvement in Vietnam. He mentioned
Paul Sweezy, a Marxist who interprets
U.S. intervention in terms of the need
for a capitalist economy to expand. Mr.
Du Boff feels that the desire to protect
and enlarge the free market is a con-
tributing factor in American policy,
but not the only one.

In looking to the future, Mr. Du Boff
Sighed and said that the situation was
depressing. ‘‘I think it’s probably going
to drag on like this for some time.”
He sees tye problem internally as one

of the policy becomi indistinguishable
with the Re cl and ‘‘there is
nothing left to do then but to get rid of
the. policy-makers,’? He said that the
Republican party might find itself ex-
tremely tempted to run on a peace ticket
in 1968 (as Nixon has already mentioned)
if it’s still going on, ‘‘and it undoubtedly
will be.’’ .

Someone Bashes Harry’s Car,
Leaves $250 Damages Unpaid

by Marcia Ringel

‘It was on the fourteenth of
November. I’d left my car in the
parking lot at Merion, When I

*< returned ata quarter of twelve...”

Thus began the mystery that
plays again and again in every
neighborhood: dent and run. This
time the victim’s owner was Harry
Hamer, who, ironically enough,
drives the Bryn Mawr-Haverford
bus between the two schools on
the half-hour every school day.
.. Harry’s first reaction upon ob-
serving the damage. was to
realize that he would have to
pay the first $100 on it before
his insurance company would con-
tribute to the cause. Yet
even in the midst of anguish
Harry’s well known sense of humor
came through. ‘‘I smiled, you
know,’”? he smiled. ‘‘I thought I
was on Candid Camera.” Unfortun-
ately, however, he wasn’t.

The ‘red, sort of maroon’?
*66 Country Squire, with 2500 miles
on it, was ‘‘pretty well torn up’’;
molding and—four places on the
side were dented. It is now in a
shop, being undented. Harry said
that he was working overtime to
get the $100 and that he was
considering charging ten cents for
each bus ride (now free). But he
said this with his famous twinkle,
so hopefully the college wage scale
is sufficient to see him through
the crisis. ;

Freshman Class
Elects President

The Class of 1970 recently
turned out at a figure approach-
ing 90% polling strength to elect
its own student representatives.

President of the Freshman Class
is Cynthia Taft, presently a resi-
dent of Erdman Hall, Other mem-
bers of the class placed in of-
fices include CynthiaShelmerdine,
First Undergrad Representative;
Dorothy Humphrey, Second Un-
dergrad Representative, and two
Self-Government members, Pa-
tricia Rosenfield and Susan Wat-
ters.

President Taft affirmed that the
vice president-treasurer and sec-
retary of the class of 1970 will
be chosen at the first class meet-
ing to take place shortly. Also
to be designated at this first
presidium of the freshmen will
be the representative of the Ath-
letic Association and the dele-
gate to the Curriculum Commit-
tee.

SAC Announces
Political Programs

The Social Action Committee
has been notified of two political
conferences to take place early
this month.

The Students for a Democratic
Society is sponsoring an educa-
tional conference for the middle
Atlantic area this weekend from
December 2 to December 4 at
George Washington University in
Washington, D.C. Among the topics
considered will be ‘‘Poverty, Pol-
itics, Power: The American Econ-
omy,”’ ‘*The Dynamics of Amer-

n Foreign Policy,’? and ‘‘The
New Politics.”’

cember 8 at 7 p.m. in Madison

an end ‘to bombing, a cease fire,
and an agreement to: negotiate

Speakers will include Gunnar Myr-

events can be obtained from Kathy

There is further irony in the
case in that the side door of
a former car of Harry’s was hit
and run from in a parking lot ten .
years ago. There has been rumor
of conspiracy, although no dis-
tinguishing marks were found
in either instance except the afore-
mentioned dents.

Ever since the accident, Harry
has been commuting here by train
(not by bus) from his home in,
ironically, Merion. It was
not known at press time whether
or not Harry’s car has been patch-
ed by today, Friday, as
promised by the shop in which it
is recuperating.

Harry’s wish at this time is a
practical one: ‘‘If someone who’s
insured would come forward, I’d
appreciate it very much,” His
voice carries no rancor, but only
its usua} friendly tones. Has Harry
gotten. over the shock? ‘‘Def-
initely,”? he asserted. ‘eThere’s
nothing I can do about it, so
why worry???

Two minutes later, the bus was
off for Haverford in a cloud of
happy dust.

Get out from under this weekend. Fly some-
place —for half fare on Eastern.

Visit a friend in another town. See an

“away” game. Change the scene. Leave late,
come back late, enjoy a long weekend —
without cutting classes.

Use your Eastern Youth ID Card, or an-
other airline’s version. If you don’t have one
—and you’re under 22—you really ought to.

To get your Youth Fare Card, send a $3
check or money order, proof of age (copy

of driver’s license, birth certificate or pass-
port) to Eastern Airlines, Department 350,
10 Rockefeller Plaza, N.Y.,N.Y. 10020

With your Youth ID Card, you can get *
an Eastern ticket for half fare. No advance
reservations are permitted. But if there's a
seat free at departure time, after passen-
gers holding reservations and military per-
sonnel have been seated, you can fly to
any Eastern city in the United States. And
look down on all the drivers.

war, or is it because those who
returned the questionnaire are a
biased sample? Since the discus-
sions the Alliance candidates had
during the dinner system last
March, I have felt that the most
important task for Alliance was to
return the political dialogue to the
campus, to encourage the intimi-
dated conservatives to speak out.
It seems to me that this question-
naire was a time whenaconserva-
tive should have felt no qualms
about speaking, and, I am glad
to. say, some did speak. I can
Hardly believe, however, that there
are only 25 or so people at Bryn
Mawr who think the war is right.

I would also like to defend the
questionnaire itself. Several of
the students responding to it stated
that they believed the questions
were misleading, and that I was
trying to impose my anti-war view-
point on the whole campus. This
was certainly not my intention.
Two girls who call themselves
conservatives made up the ques-
tionnaire with me, and I triedvery
hard to ask the questions imparti-
ally.

For me, the results of the ques-
tionnaire were most distressing.
Perhaps I am interpreting the
response unjustly, but it seems
to me that if educated individuals
do not know or care about what
is going on in the world, we have
a great deal to fear from the future.

Vietnam Survey

To the Editor:

The article of November 18 in
the COLLEGE NEWS analyzing
the Vietnam policy survey was un-
justified in concluding that the
limited response to the question-
naire indicated ‘‘a very faint in-
terest in the war’’ on campus,
Nor were the conclusions that stu-
dents_don’t_care or are too busy
to think about the war légitimate,
either,

It might have been closer: to
the truth to say that students are
too busy to fill out a detailed
questionnaire on the war, This
may seem trivial, but a question-
naire on a serious topic such as
the Vietnam war does or should
take a considerable amountof con-
scientious thought to complete.

The results of the survey should
be judged on two accounts in the
‘ignt Of this, First, the more
someone knows. about the situa-
tion in Vietnam, the more she will
be aware of the complications and
how inadequately prepared she is to
evaluate it. Second (and perhaps
subsequently) the questionnaires
that are turned in may be one of
two kinds, Either from people
who are extremely informed and
feel they can offer a significant
opinion, or from people who know
sufficiently little about the situa-
tion so that it appears clear and
simple enough to analyze,

Realizing that this'is a slanted,
if not slightly eynical evaluation
of. the poll, and not wishing to
criticize the efforts or intentions
of Alliance (which are definitely
valuable), the above suggestions

are perhaps significant consider-
ations in the analysis of the Viet-
nam survey,

Dardis McNamee, ’70

Saga Defense

To the Editor:

While I agree with the complaint

from Pembroke that the food at
meals is not always what it should
be, I disagree with their view of

-Saga’s changes in the serving sys-

tem,

Putting the beverages on the
tables in bulk allows a person to
take as much, or as little, as she
wishes, rather than the amount
that some faceless bureaucracy
has decreed will be in a milk
carton, It is also much more
convenient to go to, one central
location and KNOW what cereals
are available rather than wander-
ing around the dining room like
a knight looking for the Holy Grail.

As to the charge that ‘‘Gracious
Living’’ is perishing, in Rhoads
it has been Considerably raised
by the use of placemats rather
than bare tables to which one’s
hand stuck as if glued. The dif-
ference between a ‘‘meal’’ and a
‘feeding’? is not so much how it
is done as the way the diners ap-
proach it, In Rhoads meals were
feedings just. as much last year
as they are this year, Further-
more, if candlelight isn’t gracious
living, what is? I might also note
that one stumbling block to having
candlelight more often is that the
STUDENT waitresses object tothe
difficulty in serving,

Saga does need improving, but
in Rhoads, and generally around
campus, it has taken a fresh look
at the system and made improve-
ments which were long overdue,

Rayetta Nee, ’69

SigneUp Failure

To the Editor:

Once again the Taylor. sign-up
system has fallen through with the
usual unpleasant consequences,

Only this time the girls who had-

signed up ended up on the short
end because of the negligence of
the organizers,

About four weeks ago a Sign-
up list was put up for a bus to
Boston over Thanksgiving, Awéek
before Thanksgiving another sign
was up: the bus to Boston is
going -- bring your’ money, Peo-
pole who brought their money in
good faith Saturday were politely

informed that no, the bus to Bos- _

ton could not go, too many people
had cancelled; no, no alternatives
had been arranged, The girl in
charge explained that cancellation
had not been prohibited so that
more ‘people would sign up (so

what did that accomplish?), Why
we had to wait until'a week before

Thanksgiving to find out she did.

not explain, When this happened to
the Social Committee, they had
enough money in reserve so that
they could meet their commitment
to those who had signed up, Here
there was nothing: 20 girls were
left without transportation four
days before the holiday, one girl
had to leave a day early and miss
three important classes, another
girl never got to Boston at all.
It is true that people who sign
sign-up sheets should take some
responsibility for their signatures;
it is equally important that people
who put up sign-up sheets make
the terms of their offer quite
clear and try planning a little
before the last minute, Otherwise
the system is useless, and people
will get hurt every time,
Cookie Poplin, ’69

Liberal Menu

To the Editor:

In/ response to the girls who
complained about Saga:

In my dorm, you can get fresh
fruit from the kitchen during any
meal, and’you will find it actually
on the table at least three times a
week, But,, at the meals when it is
not ‘placed on the table, do we
see waitresses scurrying from the
kitchen with fresh apples and
oranges? No! Instead they come
out with ice cream -- gallons.and
gallons of it, because this is what
the public has demanded, The
greatest thing about Saga is that
it allows us to make this choice
between apples and ice cream --
and from their experience they
have found that ‘the majority of
college students will choose ice
cream,

For ‘‘Thanksgiving’’ dinner,
Saga offered us shrimp cocktail,
two vegetables, potatoes, turkey,
pie and ice cream, A girl at one
of the tables for which I was
waitressing asked for a lot of
shrimp -- ‘‘see if you can get a
whole bowlful,’? I got her two huge
salad bowlfuls, and she was de-
lighted, The point of this incident --
since this girl’s dinner consisted

entirely of shrimp, she obviously.

did not consume food in each of
the Seven Basic Food Groups that
meal, Saga had-offered her the
opportunity, but she preferred to
ignore it, She can hardly be com-

_pared to a French soldier who is

forced to eat jello in place of a
complete food,

‘Saga is an adult caterer, Imagine
it catering toa kindergarten, giving
the students the opportunity to eat
peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

her up. She might find the empty

at every meal -- and the opportunity
to eat nothing else, The children
would eat nothing else; their
parents would be outraged; Saga
would not survive, But hopefully,
it can at Bryn Mawr, where we are
old enough to realize that meals
consisting entirely of mint chip
ice cream will result in
‘‘avoirdupois. and acne,’ to say
nothing of malnutrition,

For the beauty of Saga lies not
in’ what you are allowed to eat,
but in what you ‘are allowed to
pass up, There is nothing to pre-
vent you from eating a hamburger
without a bun -- from passing up a
second, or even a first, ice
cream -- from never touching jello,
There are PLENTY of substitutes
for whatever you choose to pass
up -- instead of one hamburger
with a bun, you can have two ham-
burgers, fresh fruit, or soup,

Bryn Mawr must believe in the
maturity. of its students, for it
has trusted us with many decisions
concerning a very liberal curfew
and a very liberal curriculum. Now
it has trusted us witha very liberal
menu -- and I, for one, say ‘thank
you, ”

Little Theatre Cast in Rehearsal For ‘Thurber Carnival’

With less than two weeks until
production night, Friday, Decem-
ber 9, the BMC-Haverford Little
Theatre began its rehearsals in
Skinner Workshop Monday night.
_Thé play, James Thurber’s THUR-
BER CARNIVAL is the first stu-
dent-produced and directed offer-

ing of the year. _

Director Bob Sinclair, Haver-
ford °67, surveying Skinner from
an actor’s point of view on the
stage, remarked, ‘‘I would like
the stage of the music hall to
do this play, but fortunately Skin-
‘ner lends itself to an intimate
review (except for the walls). I
am enthusiastic and happy to find
that the comic talent of BMC’s
freshman class is practically in-
exhaustible. The male leads, even

when left to personal interpreta-
tions,
sequitur. With simple staging and
even simpler sets, the whimsical
quality and charm of the Thurber
world weaves a spell which even

_a collegiate audience will not re-

sist ... I hope.”

CARNIVAL is an adaptation of
Thurber’s book of the same name.
It is divided into short vignettes,
some of them monologues, some of
them short scenes with 2-16 char-

acters. These are linked together:

with music, provided bya five-
piece jazz combo. The cast, com-
posed of eight men and eight wom-
en, ‘‘needs to be versatile’’ since
each person has more than one
role.

H’ford Hockey Team Receives

27 Penalties During Coed Game

‘¢Amy Dickinson is a good guy,”’
said one member of the.ad hoc
hockey team from Haverford Col-
lege, when questioned on the new-
est tradition between Haverford
and Bryn Mawr,

Two games have now been played
between the Bryn Mawr hockey
team of which Amy is captain and
a collection of about 15 Haver-
fordians,. captained by Rick Rich-
ards, The: latter have neither
sticks nor uniforms nor a very
clear conception of the rules of
the game, But, they borrow the
sticks from Bryn Mawr, ‘‘have
a uniform attitude toward life
(what more do we need?),’”? and
are improving on the rules,

Haverford, in fact, has won both
games, 1-0 and 3-0, Their im-
provement can also be measured
-in terms of the number of penal-
ties they made, The first game
they made 27, and in the sec-
ond game, November 20, Amy re-
ports that they had really im-
proved, For example, no one tried
to pick up the ball, as goalie
Chris Richards did the first game.

The Bryn Mawr team found the
Haverford team ‘‘very fast, but
with lousy stickwork’’ in the sec-
ond game, Amy thinks that her
team: is overpowered by the fact
