¢ lapper Leaves Fence
To Return as F oundling —



Clapper swaddled in filched bed sheet is accompanied by ‘‘for-

mula’’ and confession.

How many fence posts are there
between Pembroke and the library?
The answer was four, at least, it
was last Monday morning, the last
post being the clapper of Taylor
bell.

A " sharp- -eyed NEWS reporter
saw it.(See picture below). So did
two anonymous -Greek._literature
students Monday evening. Thanks
to them the clapper disappeared
again for thirteen hours.

It reappeared at 8:50 Tuesday
morning in the office of Professor
Mabel Lang, wrapped in swaddling
clothes, a blue bow around its neck,
with an explanatory note tucked un-
der a milk carton. (It was suth a

, dapper clapper! ).

The note read, ‘‘Oh lofty, soul!
My father ordered me exposed and
left to die because the oracle at
Delphi said my words would wring
tears from sleeping maidens. ‘An
exile now, O God, O God! Noone to
help. I am alone.’ (Euripides-Ed.)

Dance Concert Professionally Executed;

- Mason Gross, Rutgers President

‘Named Commencement Speaker

by Gail Sanger |

The corfmencement speaker for
the class of 1964 will be the re-
nowned educator ang\ scholar Mr.
Mason Welch: Gross. Mr. Gross
has been, since 1959, the President
of. Rutgers State University, Re-
puted to be a charming and enter-
taining speaker, he is admired by
his family for working the NEW
YORK TIMES cross-word puzzle

in ink.

The father of a graduating Bryn
Mawrter, Mr. Gross arrived at his
role as educator ina manner ‘‘typi-

cally Bryn Mawr.’ He received his

BA ‘in Classics from Jesus College
in Conn. and his PhD in Philosophy

from: Harvard,

Mr. Gross first taught Philoso-
phy at Rutgers in1946 and, signifi-
cantly, has continued to teach in
addition to his role as President.
Mr. Gross arrived at his interest
in the broad structure of education

* through his interest in aesthetics,
- philosophy, and the philosophy of

education rather than through an
interest in the administrative as-
pect.

Because of his perceptive and
continuing role in active teaching,
Mr. Gross. has shown great inter-
est, especially in New Jersey, in



_.the broad range of educational fa-
cilities. He is concerned about de-;

fining the role of the University in
public affairs. He, himself, played
an important role in organizing the
coming’ concert series’ in’ New
Brunswick.

Mr. Gross is an eminent author -

ity on Alfred North Whitehead and.
has edited a book, in addition to
numerous Wi sa on that topic.

For Davison Premiere _

=The-Bryn -Mawr=Haverford-Or=
chestra will present its third and
final concert of the season tomor-
row evening at 8:30 in Goodhart
with Bryn Mawr’s Agi Jambor as
featured soloist. Admission is free,

Madame Jambor will perform
with theorchestra conducted by Dr.
William Reese the premiere of
John Davison’s Concerto for Harp-
sichord and String Orchestra. Also
on the program will be Beethoven’s
Symphony No. 2, Mozart’s ZAU-
BERFLOTE Overture, and a con-
temporary piece by the German
composer Pepping entitled ‘*Lust
Hab ich.G’*habt zur Musika,’”’ which
is being performed here for the
first time in the United States,——

~ Speaking of his “own work, Mr. ~

Davison commented that it is ‘a

rather short piece in three move-

ments played continuously without

break. It was written for Madame

Jambor at her request. The con-—
certo has been influenced by the

harpsichord music of the Baroque

period, with which I associate the

instrument.’’

Madame Jambor has been main-
ly distinguished as a pianist and
it is only recently that she has
turned to the harpsichord. She has
performed in many of the Bethle-
hem Bach festivals, has recorded

piano performances, and enjoys the

highest of reputations in the musi-, *

cal world.

This concert, the second of. the

9 year on the Bryn Mawr -Haverford

scene, will conclude the orches-

Last Friday evening, the Bryn
Mawr.. Dance Club presented its
annual concert, an occasion which
deserves better notice from the
community, particularly the facul-
ty, who were conspicuous in their
neglect,..The. emphasis this year

was on’ technical finish. Relying ©

heavily on a. corps of six or

eight ‘‘soloists,’”’ the group. con- .

able competence, Withnone of the
embarrassing, amateurish lapses
which often characterize similar
events,

ing, owing perhaps to the rather
lack-lustre quality of the climac-
tic major offering, a dance-drama,

son, This work seemed to me less
interesting, than the Director’s ef-
forts of the past few years, The
massive, bucolic chorus work was
not sufficiently relieved by group
interaction and solo focus, and the
tripling of the leading figures fur-
ther dissipated the dramatic ener-
gy. Most regrettably, the theatrical
potentiality of the Raising of Laza=.
rus was tantalizingly introduced,
but shunted off the rear of the
stage; thea virtual!; ignored:-One
couldn’t help thinking what Graham

theless, to be congratulated for
annually accommodating ‘her con-
siderable talents to what must be

were extraordinarily attractive

Philosophy of Protest

There are many ways “to /proteSt an intolerable situation. If you’re
a child, you’ ll throw a temper tantrum, if you’re a love-lorn teenager,
you’ll burst into tears, if you’re a labor manager, you’ll arbitrate
behind smoky doors. The success of a protest. will depend not only
upon the vigor of the protester,. but, in addition, upon the readiness
of an individual or a society to accept change.

There is a clear difference, however, between sincere | protest, which
is intended to alleviate a situation, and senseless demonstration which
can only aggravate it. The first may not be immediately effective, but.
the second, although it may appear to be immediately successful, can
only breed antegoniens and further complicate an already aifficut
situation. =

wasting, appear to be examples of actions which can only antagonize

supporters. of -the civil rights- movement, Although former demon-
Strations, such as sit-ins and school, boycotts, have had a direct
relation to the situation being protestéd, these maneuvers scheduled
to take place this month are almost entirely divorced from the civil
rights protest. - : .

Unlike the memorable March on : washington “which demonstrated
in a moving and impressive way, the growing impetus: behind the
Negro revolution, the stall-in and the water wasting do not reflect
the ideals or ideas behind the movement: they bear resemblance to
Collegiate lawbreaking than to the’ aims ‘of so important a cause as
the civil rights one is. :

Non-violent demonstrators’ are sanctioned. by the law and per-
mitted .in our society, If the structure of law-in the United States

‘ crumbles, any achievements. and advantages won by the civil rights

movement will be meaningless,
The stall-in and water wasting programs are far removed from

‘Thoreay-inspired civil disobedience, The resultant traffic jams, les-

sened water supply,
antagonize

and .other inconveniences will only. serve to
not only those who have remained neutral in the civil

~ rights struggle, but also, and more significantly, those who have pre-

viously given their support, both psychological and actual, to the
movement,

A student who .leaves school to work with voter registration in
Albany, Georgia, should be praised for his idealism and courage.
A student who heads down the Long Islahd Expressway on April 22
with a half-filled tank of gas is showing little of the intelligence,
idealism, and courage that has previously been associated with the
civil rights movement.

' An Unposted Sign of Spring

Most of\ the signs. of spring have already arrived--the impossibility .
_.of finding. a. free. tennis,.court,.sandals with_broken.straps,unnameable..

crawling creatures inside. the dorm, and a preponderance of shirt-
sleeved male ones without, Everything, in fact, except exam schedules,
In view. of. the loud fuss we are perpetually making about our heavy
work loads, it doesn’t seem quite cricket to complain about-the lack of
exam schedules. Their ultimate posting will .only be an excuse for
further complaints.
However, there are students for whom this delay is causing severe

i inconvenience, First of all, with the pressure of papers. at the’end of

the term, it is almost impossible to schedule work without a knowledge
of one’s exam schedule. Even in April, knowing whether a student has
four exams in the first four days of exam week or leisurely spaced
through the entire exam periods will make a difference in the way she
organizes her work. But, more importantly; there are a number of
students whose summer plans hinge on the exam schedules, It’s not easy

- to plan an early June wedding, ora late May flight to Europe when you’re

not sure whether you’ll be up the week before memorizing French verbs
and chemical formulae. - . m

We realize the recorder is busy and that caietiat is in the air. But
unless exam Schedules are posted very, soon, we may simply have to
conclude that there ARE no éxams this year.

Deliberate Malice \ ¥ipu isis

‘The’ licary reserve room was established for the purpose of ensuring
that’ books needed for specific course assignments would be available to
all students in the class: Without reserve books) students cannot properly
prepare and classwork grinds to a halt, = ae

Yet reserve books ard becomirg increasingly unavailable. Even vol-

umes on desk reserve, personal copies belonging to faculty members,-

have been removed from the library and never returned. Four valuable
casebooks for Constitutional Law, for instance, vanished soon after. the
start of the semester and have not been seen since, leaving the class
without sources. This is not merely carelessness on the part of a forget-
ful student; it is deliberate malice.

The library operates under the honor system which pervades the cam-.
pus. No one stands at the door checking bookbags, and no proof of matri-
‘culation, age, or. sobriety.is required. Stacks aré open*and there is no

Chester Residents.
Increase Protests

- By Barbara Ranney

Residents of Chester, Pennsyt-
vania, who are convinced that the
city’s political machinery bears
responsibility for its poor eondi-
tions'-have protested against in-
adequate facilities and standards
in the city schools,

These people, who make up the
Committee For Freedom Now,
criticized the schools first, be-
cause no faction challenges the
importance of education, For five
months the Committee’s strongest
demand has been fora meeting
with the school board, at which
to discuss its program, The school
board has repeatedly voted against
such a session.

At a mass: meeting held April
8 in a local church (which is now
smaller than the group), partici-
pants applauded the name of-the
Negro woman who recently re-
signed from the school board, and
a speaker criticized the one Negro
.man remaining on the board for
voting against the Committee, (The
CFFN is almost entirely a Negro
organization,’ though the whole
community faces its. problems.)

The 400 demonstrators Wegnes-
day night were mostly adults and
older teenagers, There have been
nightly marches*for two weeks in
protest of school’ segregation, a
contributor to the problem of

‘school standards, It was empha-

tically stated at the mass meeting

~ that there has been no. talk of ©

Discuss Apartheid at Georgetown
To Attract Americans’ Attention

of the future, A meeting of econ-—

By Ellen Gross

The policy of apartheid or sep-
arate development of races in the
Union of South Africa is a per-
ennial topic for discussion, but
little action of the kind that could
effect this policy has been taken
in the United States or Britain or
the United Nations. A conference
organized by the Action Against
Apartheid Committee, founded at
Oberlin College this year, was held
at Georgetown University in Wash-
ington, D.C, on April 10-11. It’s
concern was this; **What kind of
action should be taken,” and ‘Is

_ it too late?”’

The complexity of the situation
often causes Americans to feel
‘helpless, and yet its implications
-- the inferiority of the non-white
races -- is the target of action in
our’ own cities. The Nationalist.
Party of South Africa intends to
continue its program of the strict-
est segregation even at the expense
of human lives, But the backbone

of their support is withthe current -

economic. prosperity of the country

and its protectorate, South-West

Africa,~ because of Western

‘European . and “American “invest=_ ~~

ments, If this support js not broken
either by a World Court decision

to wrest South-West Africa from .

the Union’s ‘‘Protection,’’ or by
economic sanctions, the country it-
self will be torn by riots and civil
war. The Sharpeville Massacre
was only a small-scale prophecy

Freshmen Evaluate
Their Impressions

Mrs. Isabel MacCaffrey, as
representative of the Faculty Cur-
riculum Review Committee, met
with the Freshman Class April 7
to distribute questionnaires about
Freshman year.

Mrs, MacCaffrey explained. to -

the.class that a similar poll had
been.conducted inthe Senior Class,
but because impressions : and’ ex-
periences of ‘the Freshman year
might not be too clear after four
years, the faculty committee’ did
not feel that this single poll was
adequate. Before the Class of 1967
becomes ‘corrupted’? as Mrs.

' MacCaffrey put it, the curriculum

committee would like to examine
the opinions and criticisms of
Bryn Mawr Freshmen, ~ > _

The questionnaire. has five sec-
tions which deal with the time
prior to entering college, Fresh-
man Week, the academic program, »
the major. subject and general
questions, Completion of the
questionnaire is optional, but Mrs.
MacCaffrey stressed the fact that

Philosophy of Protest

There are many ways “to /proteSt an intolerable situation. If you’re
a child, you’ ll throw a temper tantrum, if you’re a love-lorn teenager,
you’ll burst into tears, if you’re a labor manager, you’ll arbitrate
behind smoky doors. The success of a protest. will depend not only
upon the vigor of the protester,. but, in addition, upon the readiness
of an individual or a society to accept change.

There is a clear difference, however, between sincere | protest, which
is intended to alleviate a situation, and senseless demonstration which
can only aggravate it. The first may not be immediately effective, but.
the second, although it may appear to be immediately successful, can
only breed antegoniens and further complicate an already aifficut
situation. =

wasting, appear to be examples of actions which can only antagonize

supporters. of -the civil rights- movement, Although former demon-
Strations, such as sit-ins and school, boycotts, have had a direct
relation to the situation being protestéd, these maneuvers scheduled
to take place this month are almost entirely divorced from the civil
rights protest. - : .

Unlike the memorable March on : washington “which demonstrated
in a moving and impressive way, the growing impetus: behind the
Negro revolution, the stall-in and the water wasting do not reflect
the ideals or ideas behind the movement: they bear resemblance to
Collegiate lawbreaking than to the’ aims ‘of so important a cause as
the civil rights one is. :

Non-violent demonstrators’ are sanctioned. by the law and per-
mitted .in our society, If the structure of law-in the United States

‘ crumbles, any achievements. and advantages won by the civil rights

movement will be meaningless,
The stall-in and water wasting programs are far removed from

‘Thoreay-inspired civil disobedience, The resultant traffic jams, les-

sened water supply,
antagonize

and .other inconveniences will only. serve to
not only those who have remained neutral in the civil

~ rights struggle, but also, and more significantly, those who have pre-

viously given their support, both psychological and actual, to the
movement,

A student who .leaves school to work with voter registration in
Albany, Georgia, should be praised for his idealism and courage.
A student who heads down the Long Islahd Expressway on April 22
with a half-filled tank of gas is showing little of the intelligence,
idealism, and courage that has previously been associated with the
civil rights movement.

' An Unposted Sign of Spring

Most of\ the signs. of spring have already arrived--the impossibility .
_.of finding. a. free. tennis,.court,.sandals with_broken.straps,unnameable..

crawling creatures inside. the dorm, and a preponderance of shirt-
sleeved male ones without, Everything, in fact, except exam schedules,
In view. of. the loud fuss we are perpetually making about our heavy
work loads, it doesn’t seem quite cricket to complain about-the lack of
exam schedules. Their ultimate posting will .only be an excuse for
further complaints.
However, there are students for whom this delay is causing severe

i inconvenience, First of all, with the pressure of papers. at the’end of

the term, it is almost impossible to schedule work without a knowledge
of one’s exam schedule. Even in April, knowing whether a student has
four exams in the first four days of exam week or leisurely spaced
through the entire exam periods will make a difference in the way she
organizes her work. But, more importantly; there are a number of
students whose summer plans hinge on the exam schedules, It’s not easy

- to plan an early June wedding, ora late May flight to Europe when you’re

not sure whether you’ll be up the week before memorizing French verbs
and chemical formulae. - . m

We realize the recorder is busy and that caietiat is in the air. But
unless exam Schedules are posted very, soon, we may simply have to
conclude that there ARE no éxams this year.

Deliberate Malice \ ¥ipu isis

‘The’ licary reserve room was established for the purpose of ensuring
that’ books needed for specific course assignments would be available to
all students in the class: Without reserve books) students cannot properly
prepare and classwork grinds to a halt, = ae

Yet reserve books ard becomirg increasingly unavailable. Even vol-

umes on desk reserve, personal copies belonging to faculty members,-

have been removed from the library and never returned. Four valuable
casebooks for Constitutional Law, for instance, vanished soon after. the
start of the semester and have not been seen since, leaving the class
without sources. This is not merely carelessness on the part of a forget-
ful student; it is deliberate malice.

The library operates under the honor system which pervades the cam-.
pus. No one stands at the door checking bookbags, and no proof of matri-
‘culation, age, or. sobriety.is required. Stacks aré open*and there is no

Increase Protests

- By Barbara Ranney

Residents of Chester, Pennsyt-
vania, who are convinced that the
city’s political machinery bears
responsibility for its poor eondi-
tions'-have protested against in-
adequate facilities and standards
in the city schools,

These people, who make up the
Committee For Freedom Now,
criticized the schools first, be-
cause no faction challenges the
importance of education, For five
months the Committee’s strongest
demand has been fora meeting
with the school board, at which
to discuss its program, The school
board has repeatedly voted against
such a session.

At a mass: meeting held April
8 in a local church (which is now
smaller than the group), partici-
pants applauded the name of-the
Negro woman who recently re-
signed from the school board, and
a speaker criticized the one Negro
.man remaining on the board for
voting against the Committee, (The
CFFN is almost entirely a Negro
organization,’ though the whole
community faces its. problems.)

The 400 demonstrators Wegnes-
day night were mostly adults and
older teenagers, There have been
nightly marches*for two weeks in
protest of school’ segregation, a
contributor to the problem of

‘school standards, It was empha-

tically stated at the mass meeting

Discuss Apartheid at Georgetown
To Attract Americans’ Attention

of the future, A meeting of econ-—

By Ellen Gross

The policy of apartheid or sep-
arate development of races in the
Union of South Africa is a per-
ennial topic for discussion, but
little action of the kind that could
effect this policy has been taken
in the United States or Britain or
the United Nations. A conference
organized by the Action Against
Apartheid Committee, founded at
Oberlin College this year, was held
at Georgetown University in Wash-
ington, D.C, on April 10-11. It’s
concern was this; **What kind of
action should be taken,” and ‘Is

_ it too late?”’

The complexity of the situation
often causes Americans to feel
‘helpless, and yet its implications
-- the inferiority of the non-white
races -- is the target of action in
our’ own cities. The Nationalist.
Party of South Africa intends to
continue its program of the strict-
est segregation even at the expense
of human lives, But the backbone

of their support is withthe current -

economic. prosperity of the country

and its protectorate, South-West

Africa,~ because of Western

‘European . and “American “invest=_ ~~

ments, If this support js not broken
either by a World Court decision

to wrest South-West Africa from .

the Union’s ‘‘Protection,’’ or by
economic sanctions, the country it-
self will be torn by riots and civil
war. The Sharpeville Massacre
was only a small-scale prophecy

Freshmen Evaluate
Their Impressions

Mrs. Isabel MacCaffrey, as
representative of the Faculty Cur-
riculum Review Committee, met
with the Freshman Class April 7
to distribute questionnaires about
Freshman year.

Mrs, MacCaffrey explained. to -

the.class that a similar poll had
been.conducted inthe Senior Class,
but because impressions : and’ ex-
periences of ‘the Freshman year
might not be too clear after four
years, the faculty committee’ did
not feel that this single poll was
adequate. Before the Class of 1967
becomes ‘corrupted’? as Mrs.

' MacCaffrey put it, the curriculum

committee would like to examine
the opinions and criticisms of
Bryn Mawr Freshmen, ~ > _

The questionnaire. has five sec-
tions which deal with the time
prior to entering college, Fresh-
man Week, the academic program, »
the major. subject and general
questions, Completion of the
questionnaire is optional, but Mrs.
MacCaffrey stressed the fact that
if the students do fill it out, they

Haverford and Bryn Mawr stu-
dents collected about $250 or $300
to contribute to SNCC’s voter

the contributions has not yet been

‘Most students followed the ex-
ample of other colleges in calling
the dinner plan a ‘‘fast for free-
dom,”’ although the members of
the new Social, 4ction Committee
who organized the fund drive never
really thought of a name for it,

Jane Robbins, new president of
the Bryn Mawr College Theater,
has announced the new-officers for
1964-1965; Kathy Terzian, Vice-
President; Cally MacNair, Trea-

She also discussed plans for the

Bryn Mawr and Haverford will
present Tennessee Williams’ ‘¢The
Glass’ Menagerie,’’ a play both
drama clubs have .been. eager to
do for a long time, May 8 and 9,
Readings from Shakespeare have
also been planned for late April.

Jane said that because the Bryn
Mawr and Haverford drama clubs
had felt that too few people were
involved in the three major pro-

‘ductions, they had decided to spon-

sOr Sunday afternoon play read-
ings. These readings would allow
people who want to act but who
haven't. time to attend more than
one or two rehearsals, or who are
hesitant to try out for a major
production, or who enjoy reading
morethan acting, a chance to take
part in a minor production of an
informal nature, Signup lists are

. posted, and Jane urges all inter-

ested students to sign,
