Poet Larry Neal was par-
ticularly impressed by © this
enormous undertaking -when he
spoke to Bryn Mawr senior: Jackie
Williams, chief co-ordinator of the
program,

Neal indicated that when
he was a student at Lincoln Uni-

The idea for the Festival
came out of the political science

taking now lies largely in
the hands of Bryn Mawr students,
Jackie Williams, Wonza William-
son, Lois Portnoy, Liz Sch-
neider and Margaret Levi,

At least one of the scheduled
events will be presented on the
Haverford campus, and both stu-
dent bodies are urged to
become involved in the Festival.

BMC Will Not Join H’ford

In Purchase

Haverford College is going tobuy
a new bus.

The bus, which is being bought
for. social-and athletic events, will
also run between Haverford and
Bryn Mawr to supplement runs of
the old bus at hours when the bus
is overcrowded.

An article in last week’s Haver-
ford News said that Haverford’s
comptroller, Mr. Smith, hoped that
Bryn Mawr would be willing to
share the cost of the new bus, but
that the bus would be purchased by
Haverford in any case.

Mrs. Whelihan, Assistant to the
President, had neither read the
article in the newspaper nor knew
anything about any negotiations for
the purchase of a new bus.

Nor was Bryn Mawr’s comp-
troller, Mr, Klug, aware that any
negotiations were going on when he
was interviewed. He stated that he
was ‘‘really surprised’’ to read
such statements in the Haverford
‘‘News,’”? because although he
speaks with Mr. Smith quite often,



of New Bus

and the subject of the bus has.come
up several times, he does not con-
sider these talks negotiations.

Mr. Klug feels that if Mr. Smith
wants to-supplement the bus with a
vehicle which Haverford plans to
buy anyway, this is fine. He added
that Bryn Mawr, however, should
not be expected to share the costs
of running the new bus, just as
Haverford is not expected to share
the cost of the Bryn Mawr station
wagon just because it is occasion-
ally used for transportation be-
tween the two schools. Mr. Klug
said in reference to his and Mr.
Smith’s interests, ‘‘I stick to my
business and he sticks to his busi-
ness.’? He stated, ‘‘I don’t think
Bryn Mawr has been less than co-
operative with Haverford: up to
this point.’’

Mr. Klug concluded that it is
apparent from the article in the
Haverford ‘‘News” that there is a
great deal of misunderstanding be-
tween the two schools.

Eugene Schneider

Signs Open Letter
To U.S. President

Thirteen hundred Fellows and
Active Members of the American
Sociological Association, in-
cluding Eugene Schneider, Pro-
fessor of Sociology at Bryn
Mawr, signed and published an
open letter to President Johnson,
protesting against the war in Viet-
nam,

The - letter, also sent to
members of Congress, condemned
“the conduct of the Vietnam war
and its effects on our own society,”?

The statement points out
that the war is destroying the so-
ciety which it purports’ to
aid, killing civilians, and ruining
crops and entire communities, The
signers feel that the problems of
Vietnam are social and political
in character and cannot be settled
by use of military force,

The petition protests ‘‘the
continued bombing of North Viet-
nam and the killing of in-
nocent---civilians in the face
of evidence and testimony from
many knowledgeable. individuals
including our own Secretary of
Defense that such bombing cannot
succeed in forcing peace ne-
gotiations.’”’

The letter concludes’ with
an appeal to stop the bombing of
North Vietnam, to attempt
to negotiate for peace with all
parties concerned, and _ to
withdraw American forces from
Vietnam in an orderly and phased
manner, ‘

Approximately thirty per cent
of the Association signed this let-
ter, It seems that the letter
was sent only to senior members
of the Association, This would
perhaps explain the small per-
centage of participation and the
lack of certain names among the

signers,
The NEWS. contacted Mrs,
Porter, lecturer in sociology

at Bryn Mawr, who, since she
is a graduate student member,
did not receive the letter, Be-
cause most of the members
of the sociology departments of
Bryn Mawr and Haverford are
also student members, she as-
sumed that the absence of
their names was a_ result
of their standing in the Associa-
tion, She felt that this had
perhaps been done in order to
include only those who are actual-
ly registered as college pro-
fessors, thereby increasing the
effectiveness of the petition,

The creation of the letter
originated at a conference of the
American Sociology Association
in San Francisco early in
the fall, A suggestion was made for
a formal statement by the Asso-
ciation but was ruled’ out
by the chair, This was followed by
a motion for an informal expres-
sion of opinion which was
passed, Because of this, the let-
ter stresses that it comes
from INDIVIDUAL members of
the Association,

When asked about the role
of the intellectual and the uni-
versity in protest against the
war, Mr, Schneider, stated:

~““*It is" incumbent'’on the -aca-
demic. world to raise itséli-
up on its hind legs against this
wretched adventure of ours,.”’

Shrewd Reply
To the Editor;

I am writing in reference to
some well deserved criticism I
have heard of my review of ‘The
Taming of the Shrew.’’

. Perhaps fittingly for the pro-
duction, there was not quite enough
of anything in my review. Or
rather, what there was enough of, -
there was too much of,

I question whether anyone wants
to or should read more than 11
inches or so of someone else’s
opinion of a dramatic production.
At the same time, I feel there
should be a sort of hierarchic
distribution of space in a col-
lege newspaper. The length of my
review was in no way a sugges-
tion as to the importance of the
play.

There is no doubt that it was
of greater moment to the college
community than, for example, a
movie version of “Hamlet.’”? The

--“pelative brevity of my comments



was rather a journalistic concern
over the length of some of my
other pieces. This was an econ-
omy I should not have practiced*
at the expense of the College.
Theatre. ‘
Similarly, sincere if not terri-
bly contrite apologies are prob-
ably due the costume committee,
at whose expense | indulged in
some sarcastic rhetoric. Again,
the fact that three sentences were
devoted to the costumes and only
one to the music, for instance,
does not show that the costumes
were three times as important,
or as good, or as bad, or as
anything.
~] did my best to cover. the per-
formance and to sum it up as I
saw it. I think five incisive sen-
tences are better than fifteen cir-
cumloquacious, repetitive ones,
and I tried: to produce the form-
er, 1I-wish I could. have written
fifteen incisive ones, and perhaps
someday I will trust myself to do
it, but I do not feel justified in
stretching my capabilities at the.
expense of COLLEGE NEWS read-
ers.

Letters to the Editor

ford College Drama Club, I would
like to extend my apologies to the
reviewer of ‘‘The Taming of the
Shrew’? for subjecting her to such
an unpleasant and fruitless eve-
ning. F

I would also like to point out,
however, that despite the often:

caustic tenor of his verbal holo-—

causts, Alexander Woolcott was
able to metamorphize a fiasco
into a moderately meaningful ex-
perience for both himself and the
theatre companies. A thought-
ful critical attitude is usually more
rewarding to everyone involved

than a devastatingly negative one. .

Distorted View

To the Editor:
Miss Mary -Laura Gibbs, the
most recent drama critic of Bryn

Mawr and Haverford productions, —

has revedled in her review-a
condescending, if not distorted
view of ‘‘The Taming of the
Shrew.’’

All too eager’ to condemn the

production for not having ‘‘quite.

enough of anything’? she failed to
note an admirable and polished
balance which characterized the
pace and tenor of the play. Her
textual understanding seems ‘‘un-
easily fuzzy’’ as she is surprised
that Petruchio is allowed to over-
come Kate. I may be mistaken, but

. T assumed that this was the gen-

eral idea ... Insofar as interpre-
tation of the material, a realm
in which Miss Gibbs feels there is
an ‘‘apparent lack,’? our critic
may have been too busy thinking
about Mr. Swann’s ‘‘cloying habit
of tossing his hair back’’ to ob-
serve the interpretation presented
in the first mieeting of Kate and
Petruchio; an idea of:.‘‘love at
first sight,’’ obviously not the
only possible interpretation of the
drama, but certainly a plausible
and effective one as it is car-
ried throughout the play.

What she calls ‘‘generally good
timing’? is to me a huge under-
statement. The actors move onand
off stage with a professional ease,
as do they pick up their lines
in a manner that can only be
called extremely well-timed. Thus
what Miss Gibbs calls a half-

hearted performance seems to me
to be a vibrant production.

The purpose of a review, even
on a college campus, is not to
give . unending and inordinate
praise to one’s peers; but at the
same time it should not be used
as a means to discuss frayed
costumes, unless one considers
this to be an essential flaw in the
art form (‘‘Fie, Fie unknit thy
threatening, unkind brow’’),

Instead this review might have
mentioned just once the name of
Mr. Paul Hofstetler, under whose
direction ‘‘The Taming of the
Shrew’? became a well-balanced,
well-paced, dynamic production in
which a number of actors dis-
played an uncontestable talent.

In short, Mr. Kopff and Miss
Ford -interacted with a vibrant
cast to present, in my opinion,
one of the finest shows seen on
the Haverford and Bryn Mawr
campuses in the past four years.

Reviewer's Notes

To “Critical Holocausts”:
I never felt under sub-
jection, nor did I feel the

evening unpleasant or fruitless!

I am more flattered than you
know, and undoubtedly more than
you intended, by your reference
to Alexander Woolcott in relation
to my review, I wish I were of
his calibre, in the business of
writing caustic, verbal holocausts
or of metamorphizing, but I am
not, In order to metamorphoze at
all however, one must first see
a definite form in one’s raw
material, This is easy with a
diamond, or with a porcupine, but
more difficult with sludge,

Mary Laura Gibbs
To “Distorted View”: Mire

Glad you thought so!

I did not say that Petruchio
was allowed to overcome Kate.
I said that Chris Kopff was al-
lowed to overpower Kay Ford.
The idea of love at first sight
is a very common and comple-
tely believable interpretation of
the meeting of Kate and Petruchio;
I regretted that this interpreta-
tion was betrayed in our product-
ion only for a matter of seconds,
in their glance before either spoke,
and subsequently shelved.

Pass/Fail |

To the Editor:
Yale University has just insti-
tuted a new method of grading,

‘the pass/fail system, thus setting

a precedent for overdue revisions
within a system immutable for so
many years, Shouldn’t Bryn Mawr
take this opportunity to reconsider
the value of its present grading
methods? After devoting an entire
year to the infinite problems pre-
sented by the school’s calendar,
shouldn’t we now turn to the equally
compelling question: have we not

-gutgrown our grading system?

Our present grading system is
based on a scale from 0 to 100,
its purpose is to give a just and
meaningful evaluation of a. stu-
dent’s work, But what are its
results? It provides a reward
or stimulus for achievement, Un-
fortunately, the grade often be-
comes the only stimulus, thus
defeating the attempt to instill
in the student a desire for learn-
ing.
meaningful evaluation of the stu-
dent’s work--is such an evaluation
at all feasible under this system?
What is the standard used in de-
ciding whether a paper is to receive
an 82 or 83? Often a professor
is forced to spend time devising
a system by means of which he
can make such an unnecessary
distinction, time that he might
rather spend criticizing the papers
in greater detail, Not only is it
impossible to distinguish between
an 82 and an 83, but it is also
impossible for a professor to es-
tablish the absolute value of a

grade, How canthere bea common.

standard? (As weall know, a paper
which gets an 81 in one English
Comp, course may well reap a
paltry 69.7 in another, Where is
the basis fora just evaluation?)

If our present system encourages’

competition, by setting up symbols
of accomplishment, it should at
least provide an objective basis
for these symbols,
There are many alternatives
within the basic framework of a
pass/fail system, for example,
the honor-satisfactory-unsatis-
factory system, In any pass/fail
system the emphasis shifts from
grades which assume inherent but
misleading values, to comments

-which not only evaluate the spe-

cific papers, but which also lead
to brief but comprehensive analy-
sis of student’s progress and de-
velopment, Too often we are left
to infer comments from numbers,
A pass/fail system enables stu-
dents to work for knowledge and
not for rank in class. Private
standards replace group stand-
ards, (A new system might even
prevent a few neurotic traumas!)

We realize that we have treated
this problem only superficially,
omitting some issues. while only
touching others, Nevertheless we

What issues can be sorted out of the tangle of petitions

and minor changes and disappointments involved in the

question of majoring at Haverford while attending Bryn
Mawr? ;

One issue that becomes clear is a certain narrow-
mindedness. Bryn Mawr has a special experience to offer
to its students, and they come to this college to take
advantage of it.

But it can’t give every kind of a course from every kind
of an approach. Where it is lacking, it is lucky to have
Haverford so nearby to complement its curriculum and
faculty. Haverford students major in Italian, Archeology,
History of Art, Geology, and Anthropology at Bryn Mawr
because they can find nothing comparable at their own
school. The merging of the history. and economic depart-
ments of Haverford and Bryn Mawr indicates a recogni-
tion of the courses of both schools as valuable for a major.
Why is there no recognition of the difference between some
Bryn Mawr and Haverford departments, each of which
might be valuable to different kinds of students?

Another thing Bryn Mawr cannot do is determine in
what way a student will become excited about learning.
It can’t guarantee that the source of a student’s excitement
will be found within the Bryn Mawr curriculum.

This brings up the issue of how students choose a
major, and why they find Bryn Mawr’snarrowmindedness
about majoring restricting. One girl interviewed by the

NEWS described her-courses in the religion departmentat

~~Haverford as opening her mind to new ways of thinking “©
and as teaching her to discuss and deal with problems
_- dn the next few weeks. oe




that she feels persona ‘involved in, Being exposed to
these new ideas and encountering these problems has
made her aware of questions and themes inher Bryn Mawr
courses. Isn’t involvement in one area which gives rise to

be considering it for the particular individuals whoapply

questions. about other fields and affects our whole way ot



; Fiditorials

looking at things what we mean by centering interest, or
‘¢majoring?’? Or does majoring mean that, for example, a
girl who wants to study religion struggles over a course
in logic just to fulfill a requirement for a philosophy
major, which is acceptable at Bryn Mawr?

We think that students should be encouraged, not dis-
couraged, from majoring at Haverford if they are sincere-
ly interested in.a particular Haverford department. The
intellectual spirit that is nourished when a student works
in a major thatis meaningful to her will often make her
other classes exciting. And it can make her whole exper-
ience at Bryn Mawr a more learning anda less eeu’
cal one. M,

Marvelous Opportunity

Possibilities for working in the Independent Urban
Education Program in northeast Philadelphia should be
fully explored by all students who are interested in
education, community organizing or civil rights.

The pilot phase of the program will beginin February,
with six students living in Philadelphia and opportunities
for students to work there on a once- or twice-a-week
basis. Originally we had heard that only Haverford
students could live there and receive full semester credit.

‘They’ will be paying tuition to Haverford (to keep their

2-S status), but living in the neighborhood, taking one or
two seminars and writing a paper. Working this way
from February to July or August will equal a full
semester’s credit. Haverford’s Academic bamasinaed

‘The NEWS has since learned that Bryn Mawr students

might be able to work out a similar program. That is,

they might be able to get partial credit or even complete

_ credit for the semester, while living and working in the



f
project area, by having their plan accepted by the
Curriculum Committee and their major department.
Obviously, this will be easier in the social science
departments than others, because they can more easily
adapt their credit requirements to the kind of work and
research the student might be doing. 2

This is a marvelous opportunity for students to offer
their skills, talents, energies and enthusiasm to a
project which is attempting to get at the roots of several
of America’s most difficult problems.» The college
should do everything it can do to encourage students
to take this opportunity and to be as flexible as possible
in allowing credit. K.B,

Cooperation,
Bryn Mawr Style, Il

The roadblocks to joint effort between Haverford and
Bryn Mawr can be seen in the bus situation. Mr. Klug’s
surprise at the statement made by Haverford ‘‘News” that
negotiations for a joint purchase of anew bus are continu-
ing between the two comptrollers shows‘a certain lack of
communication between the schools.

According to Mr. Klug, Haverford‘is buying the bus by. *
themselves, since Bryn Mawr feels that this bus would be-
too small to solve the bus problem.

Judging from the statement ‘‘I stick to by business and
he sticks to his business’’ (another version-of ‘‘I wear a
certain hat and you wear a certain hat’’) it would seem that
‘onty a minimal amount of munication is desired and _
that coordination of ideas is discouraged. ~~~

His conclusion that there has been a greatdeal of mis-
understanding is sad, but true. Perhaps with closer com-
munication, situations like these can be avoided. _ “

THE COLLEGE NEWS





Majoring at Haverford:



Difficulties Snag Interest Development

The following article is a
sequel to an article by Sally
Dimschulz which appeared in
the NEWS two weeks ago, éx-
plaining the difficulties she
has discovered in trying to
major in biology at Haverford.
The purpose of this article is
to interview other girls who
have tried to major in a Haver-
ford department. The NEWS has
gathered from talking to ad-
ministration officials and
students that misunderstanding
and confusion cloud the whole
issue of majoring at Haverford,
and that the deans have not
done much ‘to clear it up.

There seems to be a general

lack of communication among stu-
dents, departments, and adminis-

_ tration about Bryn Mawr girls
‘who want to major at Haverford,

Despite this lack, there-have been
several cases of interaction be-
tween the administrat'on, the Cur-
riculum Committee, and girls who
are interested in a particular de-
partment at Haverford,

Religion -- a major department
at Haverford, but not at Bryn’
Mawr -- has drawn several Bryn
Mawr girls into study of some
depth,

Cheri Ritter ’69 was the first
student to petition for a major in
religion at Haverford, . In an in-
terview with the NEWS, she ex-
plained that when she had her rou-
tine sophomore dean’s appointment
last year, she talked about her in-
terest in religion, and said she
wished there were more religion
courses at Bryn Mawr. Mrs,
Pruett suggested to her the possi-
bility of majoring at Haverford, At
the time, there were other students
‘trying to take Haverford religion
courses, but no majors, Mrs. Pru-
ett said, She thought that Cheri
might act as a test case for the
Curriculum Committee,

The request went in, and after
two meetings, the Committee re-
sponded by stating that it would
be impossible for Cheri to major
in religion at Haverford,

Mrs, Pruett gave.two reasons
for the Committee’s decision,
Cheri said. One is that Bryn
Mawr doesn’t feel that majoring
in religion is a good preparation
for the graduate study in religion
a student might do, A strong lib-
eral arts background is necessary

Writing Fellowships
Available to Seniors
In U.S. and Canad

Fourteen fellowships’ of $3,000
each will be awarded to seniors
in American and Canadian colleges

According to the Chairman of
the Board of the Book-of-the-
Month Club, there are many fel-
lowships available for those who
wish to pursue _ scientific and
scholarly investigations but rel-
atively few are available to the
young creative writer. ‘‘We hope
this program will help rectify this
situation. We have designed it
to give the gifted college senior

for géod work in graduate school.
The Admissions Committees of
various theological seminaries
support this view,

Secondly, Mrs, Pruett pointed
out that Bryn Mawr graduates re-
ceive their degrees only from de-
partments offering graduate level
instruction, The religion depart-
ment at Bryn Mawr is not part of
the graduate school,

Cheri is now majoring in philo-
sophy, and thinking about going into
religious education when she grad-
uates,

What is needed at Bryn Mawr
is not necessarily a major depart-
ment of religion, Cheri concluded,
But since many people want to study
religion, more courses should be
set up. After a recent talk. with
Mrs, Marshall, Cheri believes that
the administration is actively
seeking professors for the depart-
ment, now that they are aware of
the student interest init... How-

ever, Cheri is convinced that any .

Bryn Mawr girl attracted by re-
ligion should look into the kinds
of ‘‘fantastic courses’? and the
different approaches Haverford
offers,

Bonnie Cunningham ’68 has also
tried..to explore her interest in
religion while at Bryn Mawr, She
wanted to declare a double major
in French and religion, and to
major in religion at Haverford
because she believes the depart-
ment thére differs widely from
Bryn Mawr’s,

As a freshman, Bonnie said she
tried to take the introductory reli-
gion course at Bryn Mawr, then
taught by Miss Corbet, She was
forced to drop because of the irreg-
ularity of class meetings.

The ‘next year she was able

but also listened to Mr, Spiegler’s

erford. §piegler’s course dis-
cused the history and the liter-
ature of the bible together, In
addition it considered the views
of modern philosophers on the
bible, and the purpose of the bible
today. Although she personally
preferred “Spiegler’s approach,
Bonnie was told by the adminis-
tration that she couldn’t. take his
class because it was the same
as the introductory course En-
slin offered.

Three weeks into the semester,
she petitioned Miss
writing a letter which listed all
her reasons for choosing Spieg-
ler’s course, She explained the

permitted her. to go over to Hav-
erford, but the reason she gave
for granting permission was that
Bonnie had been dropped from
Miss Corbet’s course as a fresh-
man,

In trying to declare her double
major she was advised by the deans
to write a letter to the Curriculum
Committee, When Cheri was
turned down, by the Committee
Bonnie realized that she wouldn’t
be allowed to major at Haverford,
either, She never filed a for-
mal petition.

This year (after writing a letter
to Mrs, Marshall over the summer)
Bonnie has been able to take an
allied comp in religion at Haver-
ford, Mr. Spiegler is drawing up
a special comp for her, This
is a new pattern in Haverford-
Bryn Mawr cooperation,

Bonnie concluded that the pre-
cedent of taking Haverford courses
has awakened interest among Bryn
Mawr girls in departments which
have emphases and courses to
offer distinct from Bryn Mawr’s,

For example, the religion de-
partment at Bryn Mawr, said
Bonnie quoting the deans, is con-
cerned mostly with ‘‘the history
of religions.”” The courses she
has had at Haverford deal more
with the relation of ‘religious’
ideas tocontemporary questions --
be they theological, literary, or
properly philosophic. The use of
ideas rather than restriction to
facts interests her most, although
she acknowledges that the Bryn
Mawr department is certainly res-
pected in its field.

She described one Haverford
course, Religious Ideas in Modern
Culture, that incorporates novel-
ists such as Kafka, Camus, and
Greene, and philosopers Bult-

“mann, Tiilich, and Buber in look- ”

ing at how contemporary man ap-
proaches. the modern world, The

Haverford department reaches out |

into different fields, including
French, her major, in opening
her mind to different themes and
approaches, and new ways of think-
ing about traditional problems.

Involvement in a Haverford de-
partment which has no counter-
part at Bryn Mawr doesn’t mean
that you don’t ‘‘come here for the
whole Bryn Mawr education,’’ said
Bonnie, It doesn’t mean necessar-
ily that you should transfer to

BRYN MAWR ALUMNAE PROTEST AGAINST WAR IN VIETNAM

Emily Greene Balch, whose Centenary falls within the current
year, was a member of Bryn Mawr’s first graduating class.
A life-long worker for peace and social justice, she was awarded
the Nobel Peace Prize in 1946, one of two American women ever

thus to be honored.

=~

We, the undersigned alumnae of Bryn Mawr College, can
think of no more fitting memorial to Emily Balch than to jgin
the rising thousands throughout the country who protest, on
grounds of morality, and in the interests of world peace and
security, our government’s presence and policies in Vietnam.

This is a war we cannot win, politically or militarily. We
can only ‘‘make a desert and call it peace.’’

We call upon the Administration to halt the bombing of North
Vietnam forthwith, without demand for the promise of reciprocal
action by the Hanoi government, initiating at the same time a
cease-fire to be followed by offers of negotiation with all parties
concerned, including the National Liberation Front as party

in its own right.

Only thus can peace be brought to a ravaged land and South
Vietnam be. permitted to work out its own political destiny.

News Media Distorts Facts

Many of us are aware of inci-
dents in which the American news
media has deliberately mistated
or misrepresented the facts to the
public. These fabrications seem
the exception rather than the rule,
however; most of us still rely on
the newspaper, radioand television
for an account of current events.

Unfortunately, the bias of news
media is far more pervasive than
we realize. For more -com-
mon than outright lies is the quiet
emphasis or suppression of ele-
ments in..a story. And these
slants can distort the’ American
scene more subtly and therefore
more completely than great lies.

An example of this distortion
is the reporting of the Nevember
7 referendum on Vietnam in San
Francisco. I listened to the broad-
cast (which invariably announced
that result last) and got the im-
pression that the voters over-
whelmingly refused to endorse a
policy for peace in Vietnam. Only
later did I find out specific facts
that clarify -- and brighten -- the
situation. The voters had re-
jected the question, but by a margin
of 63.34% to 36.66%. Anextremely
heavy turnout of 85% of registered
citizens voted 132,406 against to
76,632 for the proposal.

This margin was very encourag-=
ing, however, when we hear the
wording itself, ‘Shall it be the
policy of the city and county of
San Francisco that there be im-
mediate ceasefire and withdrawal
of United States troops from Viet-
nam so that the Vietnamese people
can settle their own problems,”
As the London ‘‘Times”’ said, ‘‘In
view of its extreme terms, the
proposition may be said to have
done rather well.”’

Extremely well in view of the
fact that many people opposed to
the war were excluded or alienated
by the extreme position advocated
in the question, For example, the
successful candidate for mayor,
Joseph Alioto, said that the defeat
of the proposal should not be con-
strued as a victory for the hawks.
He stated that he had voted against
the referendum because it ‘‘called
for the unconditional surrender of
the United States.”? Alioto favors
an immediate negotiated peace fol-
lowed by a massive foreign aid
program,

That the majority of San Fran-
ciscans do oppose the war in some
terms was indicated by a pre-
election poll, On Nov. 7, Re-
publicans and Democrats from all
districts voted for the proposal,
although stronger support was, of
course, registered among ethnic
groups and in the Haight-Ashbury
district than in middle-class and
exclusive residential areas. It
must be remembered, however,
that most of the strongly pro-
peace hippies are either too young
to vote or not registered.

Thus with both San Francisco
newspapers (the ‘‘Chronicle’”’ and
the ‘‘Examiner’’) and with two
out of three mayorality candidates
(Dobbs and Alioto versus Morri-
son) opposing the issue, over one-
third of San Franciscan: voters
supported a radical, unconditional
peace policy, These facts were
given to us in varying degree by
the Washington .‘‘Post,’’ the New
York ‘‘Times,” the Philadelphia
‘‘Inquirer’’; but the stories were
so de-emphasized that few of us
realized the. import of the re-
ferendum result.

Students Claim
Hygiene Exam

6 ° ’
Waste of Time

Question: ‘*What is deviant sex-
ual behavior?’’ s

Answer: ‘‘Deviant sexual be-
havior is, quite obviously, sexual
behavior that deviates.’’

And so it went at Wednesday
night’s Hygiene Exam.

A group of students who put the
SRO crowd of the Oct. ll drug lec-
ture to shame assembled to take
the one and one-half hour required
health exam. It was an exam sup-
posedly based on the series of
Wednesday night lectures.

Groans and chuckles and ex-
pressions of outright indignation
filled the room as the test was

passed around, The familiar ‘‘An-

swer 3 out of 4 questions” greet-
ed the’ exam-takers from the top
of their papers.

It was only 7:45 when the first
girl left. -Maybe she wrote quickly;
maybe she wrote nothing; maybe
she walked out in silent protest.
At any rate, she was sent off
with a spontaneous round of ap-
plause from the girls she left
behind.

.A few minutes later a second
freshman slammed her test book-
let down on the front desk and
banged the door as she left. An
interesting reaction. Or maybe
there was something wrong with
the closing mechanism on the door.

To say the least, the exam
was a waste of time. To say
the most, it was a ‘‘humorous
incident.’? The four questions
offered on the exam were gen-
eral and elementary and further
emphasized the inability of the
Hygiene Lecture concept to meet
the needs of the students.

First of all, the questions were
not directly related to the dis-

Love Is Dead

I guess the days have gone when
birds used to sing ‘love’, I no
longer hear people claim they
listened to the love song of the
nightingale the night before, The
truth is that the birds never sang
from the beginning of time, Sure,
they made their little noises but
man thought he heard some music;
and he thought the music was about
love,

“The rising sun no longer sends
rays of love to illuminate the hearts
of noble men and women to make
them embrace all mankind, In-
stead, it sends rays of light or
heat waves to make man sweat and
confuse his mind, When man looks
at the planets and stars today, he-
no longer sees the noble and gen-
erous love of the Maker of the
Universe limitlessly spread out
in the sky. ‘The eyes of the girls
do not. twinkle stars of love any
‘more than Venus tells space ex-
plorers that it never was a goddess
of love, In fact, Venus never spoke
any language let alone that of love,

No longer do I hear Romeos tell
Juliets that the rain that falls out-
side is the shower of love. from.
‘some mighty man above, The rain
falls, sure, but it wets my clothes
and makes’‘me carry an umbrella
or wear a raincoat, And who says.
I want to carry an extra burden;
I have enough, Surely the rain
cannot be a sign of anything but
rain,

Men no longer waste their time
picking roses for women in the
name of love, neither do women
take off from their television
watching to make handkerchiefs
for their ‘‘true loves.”’

The priests used to thunder

from the pulpits ‘‘Love your neigh-
bor as yourself.’ But today, many
of them do not speak quite so loud
because as you can guess, many
priests do not even know wholives
next to the church, let alonebother
about loving them,

Many people like to believe that
love is a good thing to make or
have; yet when a boy says ‘‘I love
you” (and very few boys say that
nowadays) to a girl, she gets
tickled, saying to herself, ‘‘I know
what he means, I mean Iknow what
he wants.’? The today man does
not believe in words any more than
he believes inaction.

Many people like to have in-
telligence but not love, All Iam
trying to. say is that as many
people get intellectually sophisti-
cated, they tend to rationalize
everything, Love, whatever it
might mean to you, is one thing
that cannot be rationalized, This
is why the more intelligence and
knowledge you have, the less love
you have, : coi

There is no doubt in my mind
that love is an idea, based on
emotions and that this idea dies
with knowledge, You will agree
with me, I think, that it is rather
distressing that I can no longer
listen to the birds sing, watch
the twinkling stars, call upon
Venus, hear the falling rain, or
watch the silver moon with the
old ideas. You will find (linsist!)
that as these ideas go, so do the
emotions that go with them, And
these emotions take love with them,
leaving us behind with knowledge
and intelligence, But tell me,
who wants knowledge or intelli-
gence now that love is dead?

Freedom

The author and Diane Jor-
dan were visiting McGill Uni-.
versity. in Montreal last week,
ostensibly to attend a World
Affairs conference. They found
themselves in the middle of a
free speech-student power con-
troversy, which proved more:
interesting and educational
than the conference.

All photos were obtained from
the McGill ‘“*Daily”’ photogra-
phy staff. The individual
photographer does not wish to
be named because he is a U. 4
draft evader.

‘Welcome to Montreal, our vibrant city”’
were the last words we heard as we stepped
_ off the jet Wednesday, headed for the Mc-
Gill Conference on World Affairs. We
knew that this was.a big year for Canada,
and especially for Quebec, but we hardly
expected to land in the middle of a cam-
pus crisis. We did, McGill had exploded;
Canada was hit by student power and the
reaction was violent. _



; Students sat and slept-in at the administration building November 7-8, fortified by food, drink and films.



It all started on Friday, November 3, |
when the McGill ‘‘Daily” ran a reprint
from ‘The Realist,’? Paul Krassner’s
satirical magazine. The article was pre-
sented as deleted passages from William
Manchester’s THE DEATH OF A PRESI-
DENT. Sparing no four-letter words,
it accused Kennedy of being a woman-
chaser and Johnson of practicing necro-
phelia, It was totally false; the story was
not really a collection of blue-pencilled
portions from Manchester’s book but sim-
ply a product of Krassner’s fertile im-
agination.

John Fekete, in whose column the article

was reprinted, neglected to tell his readers
‘ this. He set forth the material as straight
fact and many students believed it.

All Copies Disappeared

Reaction on campus was. swift. By
10 a.m. Friday all copies of the ‘*Daily’’
had disappeared, and it was estimated that
more than half the total distribution had
been siezed by unknown parties. Rumors
flared: some said that police had raided
the campus; others maintained that the ad-
ministration was protecting student
morals. Both stories were proved-un-

true, but the disappearance remains a
mystery.



Sign hung on administration building by
SDU agitators.

The McGill Student Society met on Fri-
day to consider a motion condemning the
‘«Daily” managing board and Fekete for the
column. The motion was defeated by 112-
59 on the grounds that (a) the material
had already been distributed publicly;
(b) freedom of the press should not be
tampered with; (c) passing the motion
would be an insult to the intelligence of
the students since it would be admitting



jentire ‘‘Daily’’ staff had resigned though
there were no indications that staff mem-
bers had even considered it.

Editor-in-chief of the ‘‘Daily’’, Peter
Allnutt, released a statement on Friday
afternoon apologizing for the column. He
described the article as ‘‘political, social,
and literary satire’ which was at ‘‘no
time intended to be credible’? but went
on to say that it should never have appeared
in the ‘“‘Daily.” ‘An error in judgment
was made,’”? he explained, ‘‘The article
was considered in the context of ‘The
Realist? and when it came out in our
newspaper we frealized that it had no
place therein,’’

Charged With Obscene Libel

In spite of Allnutt’s retraction, the
McGill administration was dissatisfied
with the Student Society’s lack’of action.
McGill Principal and Vice-Chancellor H,
Rocke Robertson summoned the three boys
involved in the affair--Editor Allnutt,
columnist Fekete, and Supplement Editor

Pierre Fournier--and charged them with |

obscene libel. The boys were to appear
before an Administration Disciplinary
Committee to answer the charge.

Speaking to a packed house, Dr. Robert-
son explained his position. ‘‘There is..
an intimate association between the McGill
“Daily” and the University. The Uni-
versity cannot stand aside when its stand-
ing may be harmed by student behavior.”’

Dr. Robertson went on to say, however,
that the paper must retain its independent
character. As a concession to students,
he invited two Students’ Council members
to..sit in on the Committee meeting in a
non-yoting capacity. ‘

Students’? Council convened on Monday
to consider Dr. Robertson’s invitation.
The motion was defeated by a 13-6 vote,
on the grounds that the administration had
overstepped its authority and that to accept
Dr. Robertson’s proposal was to accept
this usurpation of power.

Student Council also voted to table a
motion which had been pending, calling for
campus-wide election of the ‘‘Daily’’ man-
aging board. Under the present system,
the current board chooses its successors.
Since the paper is highly political, it
is felt that a self-perpetuating ruling
clique. has been established. .The Council
decided, however,- not to rule on-the
matter in the heat of the current issue.

More Radical Than SDS

And the issue was still hot,
dents for A Democratic University (SDU)'
- similar to America’s SDS but somewhat
more radical - was ripe for a cause and
lost no time exploiting this one. Stanley
Grey, a political science lecturer and
head of the McGill chapter of SDU, immed-
iately issued.a statement deploring the
administration involvement and calling for
student retaliation.

Moreover, SDU reprinted the column ;
for distribution throughout the 11,000-

The Stu- |

in trouble on his campus.)

Stanley Grey presented the administra-
tion on Tuesday with five demands; that
the charges against the three -students
be dropped; that a new disciplinary code
be prepared; that University disciplinary
action be used only for scholastic im-
proprieties; that the McGill ‘tDaily’’ be
given complete freedom fr administra-
tive control; and that University gov-
ernment situation be revised.

Grey then led a sit-in of 750 students
outside the Administration building.

Dr. Robertson appeared before the dem-
onstrating students on Tuesday to re-

explain his position. He was greeted with.

polite. applause but left amid general
hissing.

The sit-in became a. sleep-in as some
200 students camped out in the Admin-
istration building. A hundred counter-
demonstrators appeared and burned copies
of the ‘Daily’?; however, no violence
occurred between the rival demonstra-
tions.

The administration treated the situation
with a deliberate lack of concern, Dr.
Michael Oliver, Vice-Principal for Aca-
demic Affairs, wished the demonstrators
a pleasant stay, bid them good night, and
offered them full use of the washroom
facilities.

By Wednesday morning the demonstra-
tion had become rather stale.
trickled home wearily amid cries of
«Keep the cause alive!”’ from SDU leaders.

Students’ Council stepped in on Wednes-
day night and passed a resolution calling
for action from the Students’ Judicial
Committee. The motion instructed the
Committee to decide on sanctions if it
found the article ‘‘in bad faith’.

On Thursday, faculty members were
attempting to fan the cause by holding
seminars on the role of students in a
community.

Concessions

Meanwhile, Students’ Council met with
' the administration. Concessions were
made on both sides: SDU withdrew its
official support from the sit-in and the
administration postponed hearing on the
three students invo}ved.
It looked, alarmingly to some factions,
that the matter might end peaceably.

Then where would Student Power be? Vio- |

lence had to erupt. And it did.

On Thursday night fifty students forced
their way into Dr. Robertson’s private
office. They refused to leave when asked
nicely by the principal. They refused to
leave when asked not so nicely. And they
refused to leave when the administration
finally called ' in the Montreal police.

This was what the radical leaders had
wanted. Finally the drama was complete.
Cries of “Police Brutality!’ sprang ‘up
outside the administration building.

A crowd of about 150demonstratorsand -

curiosity seekers gathered to witness the
spectacle. A philosophy professor who

trespassers hanging out of the fifth-
floor window. To pass the time while
waiting for the Police Brutality they had
been promised, they started to chant
‘sJump! Jump! Jump!’’.

Minimum of Violence

The curiosity seekers were dis-
appointed: the police managed to drag

the students out of the building with a ©

minimum: of violence. The trespassers,
were simply dumped on the grass and left
there.

By now, newspapers throughout Can-
ada were avidly reporting on the sit-
uation. We -realized that we were in
the midst of an important breakthrough
for the Canadian University and decided
to investigate the matter further.

We first of all wished to interview the
three students on trial. John Fekete

was unavailable for comment (or any- -

thing else: he disappeared early in the
affair) but we did get to talk to the
other implicated boys.

Peter Allnutt was reluctant to give
us much information while he was still
uncertain of his status as Editor and as
a McGill student. He repeated his apol-
ogy and said that he had never realized
the impact the article would have. He
was satisfied with the outcome of the
Students’? Council meeting and felt that
the Judicial Committee had a right to
unseat him as Editor if it found that
he had acted irresponsibly.

Supplement Editor Pierre Fournier, on
the other hand, was not so gracious, He.
was amazed at the credibility of the cam-
pus and outraged at the charge of ob-
scenity. He explained that as a French
Canadian, he had a different code of mor-
ality from that of the average McGill
student.

He was also annoyed at the demon-
strators, because he felt that they cared
little for his personal cause. He went
on to say, however, that the administra-
_tion had no. right to intervene in the
issue. Fournier seemed therefore to be
for the students in the abstract, but
against organized student groups, such
as SDU, which he considers heartless and
Students’ Council, whith he considered
powerless.

Our view of the Students’ Council was
hazy, so we probed this situation too.
The council consists of twenty members.
Each faculty is allowed one delgate, ex-
cept Arts and Sciences (3), Engineering
(2), and Post-graduates (2). We dis-
covered that the body is torn apart by
incredible political factionism. We there-
fore decided to interview representatives
of all political persuasions on the Council.

Our self-acclaimed leftist was a post-
graduate named William Lenihan. He
was an extremely angry young man and
oddly outdated (He kept referring to the
‘bourgeoisie’, the ‘‘class struggle” and
other catchwords from the thirties.)

then the column was necessary social
criticism. We pointed out printing un-
true facts displaying President Johnson
as a sexual pervert couldhardly be termed
in the public interest. He replied that
we, and our newspaper, and our school,
and probably all of Pennsylvania were
bourgeois and could therefore have no
conception of the public interest.

Our moderate was external vice-presi-
dent of the Council, Richard Burkhardt.
He saw the affair as two separate issues.
Whether the article was in bad faith he
saw as a judicial decision. He felt that
it was definitely irresponsible journal-
ism to run the article with no editorial
note, and felt on those grounds that
Editor Allnutt should lose his position,

On the second and larger issue of stu-
dent power, Burkhardt felt that SDU had

a weak case. The article is indefensible;.

even SDU later admitted it. Therefore
he felt that student power is getting
off to a bad start by starting on false
premises.

Our rightist was the Council’s Law rep-
resentative, Michael Vineberg, head of the
McGill Conservative League...He is an
articulate and thoughtful boy; it was his
resolution that passed in Council referring
the matter to the Judicial Committee.

He felt that all three boys could be
convicted for criminal libel, Since Pres-

ident Johnson was not likely to take the |

matter to court, it was the administration’s
duty to step in.

The Button Mentality

‘¢ «Student Power’ is a limited label,’’
he said. ‘It appeals to the button men-
tality so prevalent on this campus. What
does it really mean? Students can and
should never really be autonomous. A
university is part of a larger community
and must abide by the community rules.”

He felt, that more serious action should
be taken against the students who broke
into Dr. Robertson’s office, than against
the boys responsible for the column,
‘One can simply be termed a mistake;
the other is simply sickening disregard
for the law.’’

We agreed with Vineberg ‘that the dem-
onstration leaders were as tangled up in
the affair as the students on trial. We
therefore decided to interview two stu-
dent power agitators.

One was a refugee from Berkeley--
his name cannot be revealed as he is in
Canada illegally, escaping the draft--
who was helping with protest organi-
zation, A real pro, he expressed dis-
gust at the Canadian lack of experience,
«One phone call and I could have 2,000
people mobilized at home, Here it’s
impossible,”’

The other agitator, Robert Dondas, was
a McGill law student, He is passionately
interested in educational reform and_ is
an odd mixure of idealism and cold
practicality. He believes in a somewhat
romantic notion of imaginative learning
which can transcend the bounds of lec-

tures and classrooms; on the other hand,

he was completely uninterested in the
issue at hand or the boys involved, He
speaks dispassionately about the demon-
stration: ‘‘As long as their bodies cover
the grass, I don’t care what’s in their
heads,’

Finally, to get an objective overall
view, we sought out a student who was
a campus leader totally uninvolyed in the
affair but knowledgable about campus inner
workings, After some asking about, we
discovered David Chenoweth, known as
‘‘the campus scab,”’

Chenoweth is managing ‘editor of the
McGill ‘‘Free Press’ (a paper founded
a year ago to print straight news as

‘ @ protest against the highly political

nature of the ‘Daily’; a switch on the
usual underground-established paper re-
lationship), He is also a professional
reporter for the Montreal ‘‘Gazette,”’
He sees the issue as a purely emotional
one and sympathizes with the administra-
tion, As a private university, McGill
is supported primarily by the business

~ community; ‘Chenoweth ~ stated the busi-

ness leaders were withdrawing funds from
the school because of the column, though
the administration-had denied this. (The

fact that his father owned one of the largest
companies in Montreal gave credence to
his argument.)

He furthermore revealed that Fekete
had retained legal council a few weeks
before printing the article, Fekete appar-
ently knew that he was sending up a trial

balloon for Student Power.

It is too early to see precisely how
successful Fekete’s trial balloon is. How-
ever, some preliminary outcomes are
evident,

John Fekete himself-will probably be
expelled. It is not the first time that
he has harassed the administration,

Peter Allnutt and Pierre Fournier will
probably be allowed to stay on at McGill,
but not as Editors of the ‘'Daily’’.

Paper Will Benefit

The paper itself will benefit from the
affair, A commission has been set up
by Students’ Council to investigate the
procedure for selecting the managing
board, The students will almost cer-
tainly gain tighter control of the paper
from the committee’s findings,

The SDU has chosen a poor cause to
champion; their position will hurt the boys
involved by forcing the administration to
take a more rigid position, calling for
martyrs,

Students will gain, if not greater free-
dom, at least an awareness of their power
to antagonize the administration,

But the largest consequence of the affair
relates not solely to McGill but to all
of Canada, The country has suddenly
discovered its greatest unfinished busi-
‘ness: the search for a personality,
This great Canadian awakening was bound
to hit the student community, And it did,

But why McGill first? It is nota logical
leader of the student power fight; it is
an extremely traditional school supported
by a firmly entrenched establishment,

The answer has its. roots. in Quebec
politics, The province is struggling des-
perately to maintain its French-Canadian
heritage against the English-Canadian
pressure, ‘‘Free Quebec” is little more
than a slogan, because the province could
not be economically independent, Its
alternative is to join the United States;

Into Canadian Student Power Struggle

this would certainly destroy the Quebec
cultural identity, \_So the struggle is be-
coming desperate and militant,

Ready for a Cause

McGill is the leading university in
Quebec, Though primarily English-Cana-
dian, it cannot be oblivous to what is
happening around it, It too has gained
a new militancy. It was readyfora cause,
It got one; it responded with force, And
what is most far-reaching of all the con-
sequences of the McGill ‘‘Daily’’ affair
is that it will be the fuse for-a whole
series. of student power demonstrations

‘throughout Canada, Students are dis-

covering themselves in a country which
is discovering itself; the result will be

explosive,

' Trust and 8 a.m.’s

To the Editor:

When I first heard.of the pro-
posal to allow sign-outs till 8 a.m.,
I was pleased to think of both the
convenience of such a rule, and
the trust and or liberal opinion
behind such a decision.

I joined in the debate and ex-
pressed this view, and was sur-
prised and gratified that the pro-
cedure was given trial approval.
Now that I have found out the
details of the sign-outs, however,
I doubt that I will ever use them,

The sense of mature responsi-
bility that the college could have
allowed us is destroyed by the
ludicrous and humiliating series
of steps of the sign-out. I have
never particularly liked a sys-
tem where my actions were re-
corded and checked by other stu-

_ dents, but I suppose a certain

amount of information (i.e. as in
the present sign-outs) is accep-
table for safety.

The 8 a.m. process carries this
lack of privacy to a degrading ex-
treme. Not only does the college
know of my out-of-school engage~
ments, but it presumes to follow
them minute by minute, and fur
ther, to have the hall president
remind me of my moral respon-
sibility! I find this nauseating; I
will have to think seriously befure
I submit to such a ritual, And
besides any philosophic objections,
I find the system simply too much
trouble. :

dents a code of behavior that in-

True Men Await

To the Editor:

The image that the women of
Bryn Mawr have of the Villanova
male is one of drunkenness, un-
mannerliness, and unlearnedness.
It is a grossly unfair stereotype,

as is the illusion held by many

Villanovans of the ‘‘Bryn Mawr
women.’’ We must promptly pro-
ceed to break down the mutual
stereotype that blocks the way
to a good relationship between our
two institutions.

One plan to start the further-
‘ing of relations would be to pre-
sent a jointly sponsored mixer for
the Undergraduates of Villanova
and Bryn Mawr. The results of such
‘a venture would be quite inter-
esting. First, a better under-
standing of each other’s student
bodies would be had. Second, it
would be a way to bring the rela-
tionships between our colleges’
students. down to a. personal,
friendly basis while giving every-
one a chance to meet new peo-
ple. I supposed that’s part of
the reason a lot of us left home
to. come to college. Third, the
mixer would open the door to a
continuous, ° harmonious rapport
between both schools.

I’m not as idealistic as to think
that this would solve all the prob-
lems but an experience of this
sort could, with a little work,

ments. There will be those, though,
that will project an unattractive
image, but the possible benefits
from a trial of this sort makes
the effort worthwhile. Here is
our turn to take a step forward!

up paths, square rainbows and
round suns, :

The most important point
the authors are trying to make
is that in ‘children’s art no in- .
tent (exists) to create a
picture in the adult sense of the
‘word.”” Nor is the child
necessarily trying to draw a pic-
ture of objects in the adult
world, ‘‘To find a crooked house,
on a crooked street, should
not cause alarm, The house stands
askew, inviting the rain, just as \
a matter of simple design,’’ not
because the child really thinks
all houses are crooked.

A pleasing design seems to
be what small children are groping
for in their early works, If the
design means that Daddy has
to have his arms growing out
of his head, then that is the wayhe
will be drawn, Often an adult
will title a child’s design a ‘‘house””
or a ‘boat’? when all the child
was doing was drawing pleasant
designs of squares, rectangles and
triangles. ~

Up to age five, all childrens’
drawings are very much alike, At
age three, they have reached a
confident age with their designs.
One girl when asked to explain
her drawing answered, ‘‘this is
not a story ..- it’s 2 picture to
look at,’’ It didn’t need any ex-

planations,
All children begin with scrib-
bles, when they are about

two. Even if a child could imagine
a circle or. a straight line, his
muscular coordination is not de-
veloped enough for him _ to
be able to draw it, A scribble,
however, contains implied shapes;
the authors have identified 20 basic
scribbles and 17’basic placement
patterns on a page, ‘‘Scribbling
is spontaneous, but the very young
child has a_ feeling for the

pattern his markings make against

a background,”? It is the act of
scribbling that creates the meaning
of the finished version, There is
no plan in the beginning. The
authors- recount the story of
a foolish nursery-school teacher
who ask a scribbler what
she was drawing, Reasonably, she
answered, ‘‘How do I know until
I have finished?’

The authors ask that the
adult not regard childish self-
taught art as ‘‘cute,’’ but as
tthe groundwork of all art.’’ Then,
they hope, ‘‘adults will not make
stencils for children to fill in,
nor will they laugh at what they
do not understand,”’

It is not the authors’ words
that make the book so remarkable,
It is the page after page of
color reproductions of finger-
paintings, drawings, and scrib-
bles... It is easy to get lost
inthe bright colors and bold de-
signs, and it is very tempting
to mix up a batch of fingerpaint
and try some for yourself, For
those so inclined, here isa recipe
for fingerpaint: take two cups of
flour and five cups of cold water
and cook until smooth, Add some
salt and let it cool, Add baker’s
food coloring, Subtract inhibitions,
It?s a beginning, anyway.

SALARIES AND BENEFITS

The National Security Agency is a scien-
tific and technological community unique
in the United States, perhaps in the world.
NSA is the Agency responsible for de-
veloping ‘“‘secure”’ communications sys-
tems and EDP devices to transmit and

receive vital information.

YOU AND NSA

As a mathematician at NSA, you will

define, formulate and solve communica-
_tions-related problems, many of major

national significance. Statistical mathe-

matics, matrix algebra, finite fields,

probability, combinatorial analysis, pro-
gramming and symbolic logic are but a
tools applied by Agency
mathematicians. They enjoy the full sup-
port of NSA’s completely equipped com-
y of them
become involved.in both the hardware
and software of advanced computing
systems. Theoretical research is also a
primary concern at NSA, owing to the
fact that the present state of knowledge
in certain fields of mathematics is not
sufficiently advanced to satisfy NSA re-

IMAGINATION ...
A REAL REQUIREMENT

Mathematical problems at NSA will sel-
dom be formulated and handed to you,
the mathematician, for solution. Instead,
you will help define the problem by ob-
serving its origin and characteristics,
and the trends of data associated witt
it. You will then determine whether the
problem and data are susceptible © to
mathematical treatment and, if so, how.
As you grow in your appreciation of this
approach to mathematical problems, and
the relationship of your discipline to
non-mathematica!l subject matter, both
your personal satisfaction and your
value to NSA will increase, as will your
responsibility.

CONTINUING YOUR EDUCATION?

NSA’s graduate study program may per-
mit you to pursue two semesters of full-
time graduate study at full salary. Nearly
all academic costs are borne by NSA,
whose proximity to seven universities is
an additional asset.





@.

“Relations Branch,



Starting salaries, depending on educa-
tion and experience, range from $7,729
to $12,873, and increases follow as you
assume additional responsibility. Poli-
cies relating to vacations, insurance and
retirement are liberal, and you enjoy the
advantages of Federal employment with-
out the necessity of Civil Service certi-
fication.

Another benefit is the NSA location, be-
tween Washington and Baltimore, which
permits your choice of city, suburban or
country living and allows easy access
to the Chesapeake Bay, ocean beaches
and other summer and winter recreation
areas.

Phillips’ Excavations in Tuscany
Reveal Friezes, Fine Terracottas

Dr. Kyle Phillips, head of the
Bryn Mawr excavations in Tuscany,
‘gave an intriguing lecture on No-
vember 14 about his work in Italy..
‘Dr. Phillips was assisted by two
Bryn Mawr students, Penny Small
’67 and Maggie George ’68 former
Haverfordian Tim Grantz,several
other graduate students and profes-
sors from the United States and
Belgium. The site at Paggio Civi-
tate, which is located near Murlo
and Siena, was chosen because of
previous finds in the area and its
centralized position in Etruria.

The first problem which con-.

fronted the archaeologists was the
task of finding a suitable spot for
the trench. The trench was finally
located on a-plateau on one of the
best preserved Tuscan mounds,
which concealed the foundations of
’ an unusually large building. Al-
though it was first assumed to bea
temple, Dr. Phillips is now almost
certain that because of its size it
could not have been a temple. Frag-
. ments of Greek pottery have been
dated at the. middle of the sixth
century B.C, by the Carbon-14
method. The massive walls of mud
brick now cover the tiles‘from the
roof in the agger laid down when
the building was destroyed around
515 B.C,

Many fine terrecottas and other
decorations were found in what
appears to be a dump from the
large building. Friezes, portraying
four different scenes -- a horse

deities and processions -- are par=

ticularly interesting because of
their high artistic quality indicated
by the clarity of the lines and de-
tails. All the friezes are character-
ized by a circular design along the
bottom and a series of alternating

‘rectangles at the top which has not

appeared in any other Etruscan
finds. Instead of being mechanical
representations, the friezes are
‘realistic and partially three
dimensional.

Although the friezes are definite-
ly Etruscan, the horse race and
banquet scenes bear a striking
similarity to an early Corinthian
krater vase also found in Etruria.
However, it is not certain whether
the friezes were influenced by a
certain tradition or are actually
copies of the vases, The friezes
were probably made from moulds
because of their repetitio d the
contrast between the high quality of
the art and the poor quality of the
clay used indicates that the moulds
came from a large city such as
Chiusi, whereas. the clay was made
in the small town.

Also of architectural interest are
the decorations on the lateral sima
(a panel along the side ofa building
under the roof where the raindrains

off). These consist of a series in-
cluding a spout in the shape of an
animal’s head surrounded on each

side by a rosette and ahumanhead, _

These were probably made from
moulds.

-There is also a series of seated
figures which were on top of the
roof. The large eyes, flatnose, full
lips and squared off béards of
these figures show a Near Eastern
influence, but it is not known how
this influence came to Etruria.
Several gorgon heads which served
as antefixes and smaller fragments
from other terracottas were also

found. Of particular interest to all |

Bryn Mawrters would be the buc-
cheros (a type of Etruscan pottery)
decorated with owls.

Phillips hopes to answer many
questions in the next few years by
finishing his study of the remains
of this building and then clearing

‘the rest of the area in his search

for similar buildings. One such
question is what was the building
used for and why was it destroyed
on purpose. Whatever future work
reveals, it is fairly certain that
these excavations will have a pro-
found influence on the theories of
the history of the Etruscans.

‘Nigerian Student to Att

end H'ford, Bryn Mawr Social
Courses Scrutinized

Conference during Vacation |p Evaluation Books

Thanksgiving vacation will be
more than mere respite from lec-
tures and labs this year for one
Bryn Mavr girl. Dora Chizea, a
junior from Nigeria, has been se-
lected as one of about 30 foreign
students to attend the Fifth Con-
sultation with International Stu-
dents which will be held at Lake
Mohonk Mountain House in New
Jersey during the holiday week-
end. .

The objectives of the. confer-
ence are to provide a pleasant,
relaxed atmosphere in which in-
ternational students can share ex-
periences and enjoy each others
company, to encourage discus-
sion on a free, non-structured
basis, and to identify informa-
tion which will be of value to
students participating in future
programs. Focusing on the theme
of the international student’s lead-
ership role in his own country

and the world, participants will

consult with resource’ persons
about problems under consider-
ation by the various committees.
Mr. Noel J. Brown, Political Af-
fairs Officer, Department of Po-
litical and Security Council Af-
fairs, United Nations Secretariat,
will chair the discussions.

In addition to the analytical
focus of the conference, time will
be set aside for recreation at the

cussion sessions. They were So
general that any thinking person
could have written conclusive es-
says without having been within
300 miles of Biology Lecture Room
on the past five Wednesdays.

This seems to defeat the educa-
tional purpose of the series. Not
only was the exam unfair to the
student (and there may have been
just one such student) who attend-
ed all the lectures and studied
her notes¥for the test; but it
also made it quite obvious that
attendance at the lectures is in
no way related to passing the
exam.

The vast majority of the stu-
dents who took the exam had gone
to two, one or none of the talks.
That same vast majority will pass
the test with flying colors.

There were, however, 2 few

mountain resort. This will in-
clude an ‘‘international night,’’ in
which participants will informally
share in the various forms of
expression of their cultures. Tra-
ditionally the Mohonk Consulta-
tions have developed an at-
mosphere of informality and open-
ness; by living, eating, and work-
ing together the group becomes
a kind of ‘‘ehlarged family’’ in

Dora will be among men and
women in various fields of study
who were selected for their abil-
ity to contribute to the group and
for their interests and objectives
in relation to the theme of the

places where relevant material
from the lectures could be in-
cluded in the essays. In the
question on narcotics and drug
abuse, the well repeated phrase
“It?s bad for .you’’ provided a
logical answer to the risks of
using hallucinogens.

In a consideration of ‘‘common
adjustment problems of young.a-
dults entering college.’’ there was
an obvious place for the state-
ment the lecture on antisocial
behavior, ‘‘suicide is the most
complete method of self-destruc-
tion.’?

One or two of the lectures were
géod, but the others were often
dubbed, ‘‘insults to our intel-
ligence.’’ For some, perhaps,
there was merit to the culminating
exam. But to many, it was the
fulfillment of an easy requirement
and a pain in the neck.

After analyzing the results of

ethe preferential polls, the Social

Committee found that most Bryn
Mawr girls prefer Princeton to
other men’s colleges, and that
the activity they would most like
to take part in is a formal dance,
While Princeton came out on
top, Yale appeared to be every-
one’s second choice and Colum-
bia everyone’s third choice. How-
ever to get a more realistic view
of the college’s social preferences,
one should notice that Haverford
ran second in the first choice
category; and Yale ran third. Here
are the figures:
Penn - first choice - 40
- second - 47
- third - 41
Princeton - 80

Haverford - 74

It is interesting to see that the
probable reason for Princeton’s
running first was that more Fresh-
men and Sophomores than Juniors
and Seniors turned in their ques-
tionnaires. The lower class, on
the whole, preferred Princeton,
while the upper classes preferred
Haverford.

Free Shows, Lunch at English Grill
Typical Fare for BMC Bowl Team

Bryn Moawr’s College Bow!

team has been: making each |

game a weekend event. Here
is the College Bowl team -at
play.

Many a theater usher in New York
is shaking her head in bewilder-
ment, and a few more may do so
yet. When the General Electric
Corporation blithely passes out
blocks of show tickets to its C ollege
Bowl contestants, it little dreams
the havoc such a group can wreck
on a theater. Groups of more than
three people ina theater are chron-
ically unable to find their seats, and
groups of eight or more, no matter
how rich in factual material, can
disrupt whole sections of seating.
Our group is especially critical, to
begin with, tending to glance at
proffered tickets and sneer.

If we deign to go to the show, we
seldom know the consecutive num-_
bers of our seats, or who exactly
is in our party. This necessitates
a piston-like bobbing around, or a
much more © graceful en masse
shifting which also blocks entire
sections of the stage for. people
unlucky enough to be seated behind
us. At “After The Rain,”
vagueness as to the nature of our
party led some of us to get as far
as, ‘‘Excuse me, Ma’am, but I
think we have all these...’’ before

"someone recognized Diane Os-

*theim’s mother, who ofcourse hada
legitimate seat.

The. Independent’ Urban Ed-
ucation Program being jointly set

Board and the Friends Council

The program involves helping

a school, Kearny Elementary in
northeast Philadelphia, become
more responsive to the needs of
the community around it, The Ford

terest in funding the program for
five years,

Six students will be chosen by
the end of this semester from
Bryn Mawr and Haverford, They
will live in the neighborhood, work
with the school, and with the fam-

students will be called school

Speaking of our unlucky neigh-
bors, Ashley Doherty, at ‘‘Rosen-
crantz And Guildenstern,”’

_ was the delight of the people in front

of her, under whose feet she per-
sisted in dropping a large light
bulb. They politely persisted in
returning it. And a girl who would
bring a light bulb. to a Broadway
theater might be in the party of a
girl who would wear a pea jacket
to a Broadway theater. This
stunning garment of Ruth Gais’s,
which she has recently ennobled
with a lapel pin, is always the
haute couture highlight of Mr.
Patten’s weekend.

Dining with a groupis justdandy,
too. We eat Saturday lunches with
the Other Teams in the English
Grill at Rockefeller Plaza, These
meals are inevitably followed by
marvelously snide sessions in the
N.B.C. ladies’ room. The waiters
in the grill know us now, and know
who eats her roast beef well-done,
who has the discrimination to take
it rare, who drinks milk, who likes
roquefort dressing, and who gets
what they call ‘rabbit food’’ --
plain salad. Repeated observation
has saved us from falling into the
trap sprung on the Notre Dame
captain: he ventured to order a beer
and was brought it, only to suffer,

‘on raising the glass to his lips,

its being knocked sharply from his
hand by an eagle-eyed N.B.C. tem-
perance leader, screeching, ‘‘No
beer!’ We go on the air unfortified

Students will also participate in
community developme nt
programs, leading activities in
which the community indicates an
interest. Part-time student vol-
unteers will also be needed for
this part of the project.

The workers who will be liv-
ing in the neighborhood still have
the possibility of receiving credit
for a semester’s work at their
college, Haverford’s Academic
Flexibility Committee has gone
much further in the plans for
allowing Haverford students credit
than Bryn Mawr yet has,

There is some chance that Bryn
Mawr girls may get credit for

participating in Haverford’s plan,

but whether a full semester’s cred-
it will be given has not. been de-
cided,

Students will receive $50 aweek

Board, out of which will be sub-

will be a_ one-week orientation
session during intercession,

will be held Monday at 6 p.m. in

Lunches are orderly, because at
least the number of feeders is
known. After-game dinner is a dif-
ferent story. Robin Johnson is par-
ticularly prone to bringing along a.
battalion of well-wishers, and the
rest of us may bring supporters
too, or not show up at all. It is|
amazing the lack of perception
shown by maitres d’, who have been
heard to dismiss any number of =
hearty Mawrters as ‘‘a gang of %
young ruffians.”” They hardly re-
cognize the country’s intellectual
elite when they seé it. On the other
hand, one headwaiter showed envi-
able aplomb when he did not bat an
eyelash on being handed an iced
cake and a light bulb and being
told that the latter should be served
on the former. ‘‘Certainly, Miss,””
he said, Jeeves-like, and his crea-
tion later marked the birthday of
Ashley Doherty, who can cut a 6-
inch cake into thirteen pieces.

On our own, our only semi-group
entertainment has been seeing

















who didn’t, in ‘‘The African
Queen.’’ Mr. Patten saw anunder-
ground movie the first weekend, but
inexplicably refused to take anyone
with him, He also soloed, very ex-
plicably, in the sauna at the
Warwick Hotel, and is now trying
to have one appended to the new

library. Mary Laura Gibbs
