Compost Elections to Include Seniors Select William S. Coffin
Curriculum Committee Head 45 1965 Baccalaureate Speaker

The \Executive Council of the
Undergraduate Association last
Monday voted to change the status
of the office of head of the
Curriculum Committee to a
position determined by campus-
wide elections, The chairman has
previously been elected by..the
members of the Committee, -_

Following the basic decision to
change the election procedure,
three related measures were
adopted. They placed the election
within this year’s Dinner System,
and made special provision for the
adjustment this first year.

Concerning’ the © primary
question, that of the electoral base
of the office, one opinion expressed
was that the Committee mem-
bers are best qualified to chose
their chairman. However, the
winning argument stated that since
the whole student body is inevitably
concerned with questions of
curriculum, they should be directly
consulted through such election.

The second measure placed this
election in the Dinner System, the
usefulness of which has beenestab-
lished through long practice, Spe-
cifically, the Council’s intention
was that the discussion help clarify
the-—-currentissues concerning
curriculum, and thus define the
present goals of the student
Committee.

Once the Dinner System ap-
proach was decided upon, Under-
grad voted that it be effective this
year, While acknowledging the un-
desirable haste, it still considered
this speed preferable to the
alternative of postponement until
next year. To help facilitate
the change, a special qualification
was “placed upon the procedure
which will be in effect only this

year, Although a new head will be
elected in March, she will not take
office until the énd of the semester,
but will serve informally on the
Committee at the discretion of the
present chairman,

In this way the current program,
headed by Margie Aronson, ‘will be
carried on- without interruption to
its conclusion, and the new chair-
man will be able to both observe
the existing system and formulate
an effective plan for next year.

Time was extremely limited at
Monday’s meeting, so at adjourn-
ment it was voted that two questions
be deferred until next week, These
are whether the Committee should
be elevated tobe a major organiza~-
tion and whether its membership
should be enlarged to include Hall

representatives.

In selecting Reverend William
Sloane Coffin Jr. as their Bacca-
laureate Speaker, the Senior Class

-has chosen a versatile, socially

conscious individual. He will speak
on May 30, 1965, on a topic which
has not yet been announced,
Reverend Coffin is presently
chaplain at Yale University, apost
which he has occupied since 1958.
Ordained to the ministry of the
Presbyterian Church in 1956, he
became acting chaplain at Phil-
lips Academy, from which he grad-
uated in 1942, for one year. He
also served as chaplainto Williams
College for a year. Prior to his
work as a minister, he servedwith
the CIA for three years, 1950-53,

On the national scale, Reverend
Coffin’s endeavors also included

To Evaluate Hell Week

Representatives of the freshman
and sophomore classes met Mon-
day night to evaluate the tradition
of HellWeek. Mary Delaney, sopho-
more class president, and Cynthia
Walk, traditions chairman, said
that no decisive changes were ef-
fected although it was voted that the

tradition continue with certain’

revisions to be considered later by
the classes involved,

Dorm representatives from both
classes described their im-
pressions of Hell Week as it was
received jn the individual halls,

DENBIGH students gave a
favorable report, noting only one

instance in which a freshman in-
volved in the class show found it
difficult to participate.

MERION’ expressed divided
opinions, noting that the activities
were too. time-consumipg and
didn’t give proper consideration to
individual students. The students
concluded however, that Hell Week
was generally well accepted in the
hall but felt that it should be less
painful in the future,

Kitty Ellis Named ‘B est-Dressed’

In Glamourmag Campus Contest

Katherine de Saulles Ellis, af-
fectionately known as Kitty, has
been named Bryn Mawr’s entry for
the Best-Dressed-Girl-on-Cam-
pus contest of Glamour Magazine,
affectionately known as Glamour-
mag.

Kitty, a freshman in Rhoads,
was one of ten contestants who
presented themselves to judges

“at a tea Wednesday afternoon,
Photogenic qualities as well as
fashion philosophies and everyday
appearances were prime criteria
in choosing the winner.

Preferring simplicity in dress,
Kitty finds the tailored look, modi-
fied with soft and feminine aspects,
as her best style. She keeps upwith
fashion trends, but rather than
following them to the rule, she
interprets them according to her
own ‘‘tailored’’ type.

Kitty’s fashion ideal is Audrey
Hepburn and her ‘*Givenchi high
fashion‘... although I’m completely

- opposite looking from her.’’

A- prospective history major,
Kitty is a (great tawny) political
animal with an bade aeware working

od

as a political intern in Washington
next summer. Interested in
government and international re-
lations, she plans to jointhe Peace
Corps in Africa upon graduation.

polytus, son of Theseus and the
amazon _Hippolyta , worships the
goddess /Artemis and has taken
vows which exclude association
with women. Aphrodite, goddess of
love and beauty, who has become
angered at Hippolytus for neglect-
ing her, plans to punish him through
Phaedra, the
Theseus, Phaedra falls in love with
Hippolytus who rejects her.
Phaedra then commits suicide, and
leaves a note statipg,falsely, that
Hippolytus has raped her, Theseus
hears of the rtot® and appeals to
his father Poseidon to curse Hip-
polytus, who is then banishedfrom

. Troezen, Hippolytus is mortally

wounded in a chariot accident and
is brought to the palace to die.
Artemis appears to reproach
Theseus and to announce that
henceforth, maidens of Troezen
will cut their hair in honor of

Hippolytus. The play ends with
Artemis’ vow to repay Aphrodite

for her evil deed at a later date,

..By the People? -

The opening of election season always brings the issue of campus
indifference to the fore. Undergrad and Self Gov are mandatory elections,
but the remaining contests are left to the discretion and interest of the
voters. .

With the addition of Curriculum Committee Chairman to the roster
of elected officers, the usual plea for careful investigation and con-
sidered selection takes on new importance. This sudden innovation puts
the committee’s position in flux, and the new head will to a large degree
shape its future standing.

Before the deluge of ballots descends, we ask students to acquaint
themselves with the candidates through dinner system, platforms pub-
lished in this issue, and general inquiry. 8

A year’s campus government and activities will be determined by
these elections. They merit the investment of-the short time it takes to
create informed and interested voters.

Something's Wrong

This year’s campus elections are remarkable for at least one aspect:
.@ singular paucity of enthusiastic candidates. Of the eight organizations
included, only Undergrad and Alliance managed to entice more than two
candidates, and Interfaith was able to scrape up only one presidential
nominee, The others at least proved equally popular (or unpopular) -- all
five have two candidates on the slate. Noorganization found it necessary
to hold a primary; there simply were no more students nominated who
were willing to run,

Perhaps the problem lies in the nominating procedure. Were the wrong
people nominated? Were there prospective candidates, who would have
done a good job if elected, but who were never given the opportunity to
run? Or perhaps the problem is simply the old one of campus apathy. We
are a small community, but we are not THAT small. Certainly there
must be more than 19 people in a student body of 650 who would accept
the responsibility of a campus office.

The election in which the number of candidates is most disappointing
is that for chairman of the Curriculum Committee. For two weeks the
controversy raged over whether to make the office a campus-elected one.
Undergrad passed the resolution primarily because it was felt that the
work of the Committee concerned every student, and because the aims
of the Committee need to be more precisely defined, The Executive
Board hoped that, election of the chairman through the dinner system
would provide discussion of both these points,

When nominations closed, however, only two students agreed to run
for the office, It seems unfortunate that more people are not anxious to
take an active part in reshaping the Committee or in exploring the
possibilities afforded by the new election system.

Beatles, Unite!

Dear Rev. David Noebel,

God bless you for trying to save our Christian republic from those
Bolshevik Beatles. Yes, we agree that they are part of the ‘“‘Communist
Master Music Plan.’’ Obviously, 9g you have pointed out in your cross-
country pilgrimage, their 82 beats per minute are synchronized with
an infant’s heart to produce a hypnotic state and VOILA! -- revolution.
But yea, though we walk in the alley herewith, we shall fear no evil,
for you are with us.

Good Reverend, we should like to submit further, proof that the
Beatles are indeed communist agents, With a leader named Lennon,
how could they help but be? Obviously their ‘“Yeah Yeah Yeah’’ theme
is brainwashing aimed at producing a generation of yes-men; their love’
of **jelly-babies’’ certainly implies that the state should mold the minds
of children, er

And their songs are blasphemy against upstanding capitalists. If
**A Hard Day’s Night’? doesn’t excite the proletariat, ‘‘Eight Days a
Week’ will. ‘‘Puppy Love’ is a subtle reminiscence of Pavlov; ‘Twist
and Shout’ is forthright rabble-rousing; and “‘If I Had a Hammer”
creates a longing in the psyche for a sickle. (That last song, we just
noticed, is a Peter, Paul and Mary number. Another calling for you,

Bless you.

Support

To the Editor:
The recent decision to elevate

the Curriculum Committee to the”

status of a Big Five Organization
is not only commendable, but also
imperative. The Curriculum
Committee necessarily involves
every member of the student body,
and if properly constituted, could
serve as: an_ effective liaison
between ‘students and faculty. We
feel that the Curriculum Com-
mittee should not be relegated
to the position of a sounding board,
but should be active in initiating
reform, If the Committee is to
remain .in its present nebulous
state, it can never have the
requisite student support or faculty
respect,
. What we need is an organization
through which we can realize our
part in the student-faculty efforts
to continually improve the level of
the curriculum, The philosophy of
the school demands this change.

Sites For Student Protests

by Edna Perkins:

For the second weekend in suc-

testing American policy in con-
tinuing the war in Viet Nam,

On Saturday afternoon, about
150 people assembled in central
Philadelphia for a silent vigil and
sit-in, Eleven demonstrators, none
of them from Bryn Mavr, sat for
four hours on the pavement in front
of the entrance tothe armed forces
recruiting center near City Hall,
The center was closed for the
day because of the demonstration.

The other demonstrators stood
silently or picketed on the other
side of the street, surrounded by
police barricades, They carried
signs saying “‘End World War
I,”? and **People of Viet Nam
Need Peace.”’

Other participants passed out
leaflets in the area. The leaflets
explained the purpose of the sit-
in as an appeal to prospective
service men to consider the moral

Thanks?

To the Editor:

The college seems to have adop-
ted, over the past two years, anew
relaxed attitude to the routine
drudgeries of the academic life --
exams and grades, With the leis-
urely posting of exam schedules
and report cards, it now seems as if
neither really existed, a delightful
change from previous years when
we r exam schedules from
the last week in November andour.
grades from ten days after our last
exam, The reality was almost un-
bearable.

I, for one, heartily commend the
change. Why should we see our
official grades at all? Sarah Law-

rence girls don’t, Besides; \any /

Bryn Mawrter, after five’ cups of
Deanery tea, could imagine, and
indeed manufacture, at least as
satisfactory a_réport card as the
administration eventually sends
her in late February or early July.
My last exam was January 14 (a
senior quiz), and I knew my grades
two days later, The response of
various graduate schools to my
ninety-three average was most
encouraging.

I move a vote of thanks to the
powers that be, together with the
proposal that they never send out
grades at all. We have lived for
three weeks, or four weeks, or
five weeks, without them, and the
reality would be frightfully jarring
to our fragile sensibilities.

E. N, G, Ratiatingly, ’65

P.S, I realize that the grades are
doubtless out by now, and it
is too late to abolish them,
but my proposal applies
equally to next July or next
February.

I have been allowed only three

hundred words to describe what I

would do with Arts Council next
year so hang on!

First, Arts council must do
more to incr Student aware-
ness of local cultural. oppor-
tunities, Let’s promote subscrip-
tions to the invaluable WFLN
Philadelphia guide. Let’s ‘distri-

that she will be included on the
mailing lists of local organiza-
tions. Let’s circulate. more ‘thow,

D.K. Howe Plans
To Extend Current
Interfaith Program

As the president of the Inter-
faith Association, I would like to
continue the programs that we
have found successful this year,
strengthen these programs and fol-
low any suggestions which would
make the association more effec-
tive on campus. The primary pur-



pose of Interfaith is to make the

student aware of the activities of

ge



Dorothy Knox Howe
her religious organization in this
area and to help her to establish
contacts with this organization. I
hope to strengthen. the area of
church co-ordination and to see
that every student on campus who
wishes to do so can find and par-
ticipate in the religious organ-
ization of her choice. Through
more efficient publicity, I hope to
make _ information of the activities
both of the Interfaith Organization
and. of the religious organizations
in this area easily accessible to
all interested.

I. would like for our lecture
series for the coming year tocon-
tinue to represent a wide range of
religions and of topics pertinent
to religion in general, and I hope
that we can sponsor more pro-
grams such as Albee’s THE ZOO
STORY which were successful this
year.

The discussion groups that began
this year due to a great deal of
demand from the students last
year, have been extremely suc-
cessful and I want to encourage all
interested to participate. Another
successful innovation this year
has been several programs of re-
ligious choral music in the library
reading room on Sunday mornings.
This I would like to continue and to
make amore regular occurrence.
In the past we have sponsored

‘several trips into Philadelphia and
the surrounding area to services
at the Greek Orthodox church,
Christ Church in historical Phil-
adelphia, Jewish synagogues and
visits to Father Divine. I would
like to see this part of Interfaith’s
program given more emphasis in
order to create more and better
understanding between students of
different faiths,

Finally, I am open to any sug-
gestions which the student body
might give, for Interfaith exists
to serve the student.



about local institutions like the
Barnes Foundation and the Univer-
sity Museum,
Secondly, Arts Council must.
strive to bring more artistic
activities” to the campus. Let’s
arrange to entertain more student
groups like the Princeton chamber
music quartet,.and the Union Col-
lege twosome that presented the
ZOO STORY. Let’s really get
monthly .painting exhibits into
the Roost dozens of young
artists would like the chance to
display their works! Let’s con-
tinue our new film series on week-
day evenings and see if we can

talk the electrician or a Haver-
fordian into showing the films at ten

o’clock, Let’s bring as. much
activity to .the campus _ in
September, October, and Novem-
ber as we do later in the year.

Thirdly, Arts Council must en-
courage more student creativity on
campus, Let’s continue to work for
an art studio course tobe given for
credit. Let’s make sure more
people know of Mr. Janschka’s
Skinner Workshops; let’s en-
courage informal singing groups by
providing sheet music. Also let’s
make transportation more readily
available to groups like the Dance
Club, so that we can export our
creativity too. Let’s really hold
a student art show.

Finally, let’s strive to make Arts
Council a close-knit working
organization rather than the loose,
dilletantish group it is, The suc-
cess of Arts Council to date has
depended solely uponthe enormous
energy of individuals like Callie
and Diana, If we hold weekly work
meetings (welcoming industrious
volunteers as well as elected hall
representatives)” in order to
arrange programs, make out mail-
ing lists, order and distribute
tickets, etc. I believe Arts Council
can be three times as effective as
it has been in the past.

Although the reputed lethargy
that keeps many Bryn Mawrters
from being inquisitive about
campus activities may be partially
responsible for this lack of
knowledge,. the fact that Arts
Council has not really been a
campus - centered organization is

probably more of a contributing
factor.

Until now, Arts Councilhascon-
centrated primarily on bringing
cultural activities tothe students in
the form of lecturers and movies,
and on making such activities
available. to students through
publicity and ticket exchanges.
These functions of Arts Council
have, I think, been very effective,
and in offering such movies as
**Potemkin,’®? Diana has obtained
more campus participation than I
have yet seen in an Arts Council
project.

I think this participation could
be increased enormously, how-
ever, with increased student
activites ON CAMPUS, I have in
mind campus-centered clubs such
as a photography club, a record
club, a film club, and a poetry
club. These would include Bryn
Mawr and. Haverford students and
hopefully also interested faculty
members and would serve to pro-
mote latent student interest, toin-
crease casual, informal contact
with Haverford and-faculty, and to
give students an opportunity for
cultural recreation within the Bryn
Mawr community.

Perhaps the Roost could be
turned into and all-time art gallery
with shows not only of student work
but possibly of Philadelphia or even
New York artists who would give
talks about their work.

Possibly three trips a year to
Washington or New York could be
organized to give people who
wouldn’t ordinarily do so a chance
to go. But campus activites should
be emphasized first.

had always been and were natural

College.

We know our greater freedom
increases our responsibility and
the number of problems to be
placed on our shoulders as ‘‘honor-
able’’ citizens. In the coming year,
as the resolutions are further
tested, Self Gov must continue
0 act as representative andinter-
mediary between the individual and
the administration and guard
against isolation, No student must
ever be isolated into a situation,
where she feels she has not hadan
adequate opportunity to support her
position. Self Gov will try to en-
courage the individual to govern
herself responsibly but at the same
time offer. itself as a means of
relieving the difficulties of that
responsibility. This is the obliga-
tion of Self Gov to the individual

_ as its invaluable supporter.

Self Gov is not and should not be
a-system of arbitrary rules, It is
an organizational framework whose
guidelines are only those essential
to the efficiency of the community.
But its greatest worth is as.an
educational system which teaches
the value of individuality and the
coordination of that individuality
with the interests of the com-

munity. This coordination must
assure the optimum realization of
both,

Self Gov, during the last two
years, has extended the personal
freedom of its members; the dress
rule, the blanket two o’clock, the
driving rule. It has allowed and
indeed forced each girl to form her
own e@ode of ethics, She must
decide the scope of personal free-
dom which best acknowledges her
individual needs and those of her
fellows. The Self Gov system can-
not and will not decide for her.

Self Gov must see that each girl
understands where and how the
system enables her to rely on her
own judgment. During freshman
week and from then on every stu-
dent must be kept informed of the,
ideas and problems when they
arise, before the referendum level.
Active discussion through the
COLLEGE NEWS and on the dorm
level would not only give Self Gov
a better idea of public opinion but
would cause individuals to con-
stantly reassess their relation to
their school.

Specifically, self-scheduled ex-
ams are a necessity, both for the
realization of the honor system and
the principle of free decision,
Evaluation of the driving and the
men-in-the-rooms rules will have
to be made as needed. Smoking
in Rhoads and Erdman should come
before the whole campus again next
year. The problem of privacy and
personal property would be im-
proved by the establishment of a |
warden’s safety box and emergency
loan fund and optional locks on the

An Intricate Job:
Bryn Maur Votes
For Major Offices

Campus elections are approach-
ing, and an explanation of the intri-
cate Bryn Mawr voting system
is in order. Each year misunder-

standings over the required pro- ~

cedure results in many disqualified
ballots. The voter’s responsibility
includes a double acquaintance --
with the candidates and with the
voting mechanism.

Every student must cast aballot

-for Self-Gov and Undergrad offices.

She may turn in a ballot marked
“abstention,’? but this should be
employed only when she knows
none of the candidates.

Elections for the Big Five --
Alliance, Arts Council, Athletic
Association, League and Inter-
faith -- are optional, Only those
students who are interested need
vote.

All elections demand the use
of the preferential voting sys-
tem. On each ballot the student
must cast a vote for her first,
second, third and fourth choices
among the candidates.

Failure to complete a ballot

(voting for only a few of the candi- -

dates on the slate) or failure to
observe the preferential number-
ing (placing only check marks ‘in-
stead of numbers) invalidates the
ballot.-

When ballots are counted under
this sytem, the first place votes

of the candidates are stacked and '

tabulated. If no candidate then has
a clear majority, the second place
votes of the candidate receiving the
fewest first place votes are dis-
tributed among the others.

Bryn Mawr’s potential for mean-

Less ‘Ivory Towerism” at BMC -

Advc ocated by AllianceC aiitlves

Ryna Appleton

At last. Thursday night’s lecture,
‘“‘Campus USA,’’ a student asked
Mr. David Boroff whether the
apathy she was so aware of at
Bryn Mawr plagued other colleges
as well, Students are speaking up
against what they feel is a general
lack of concern for the world
without Bryn Mawr. The large
audience at Mr. Boroff’s lecture
proved that students are interested
in communities other than their
own and are eager for ways to
put this interest to practical use.

We are here to deal with the
present as well as learn about the
past. The Bryn Mawr Alliance for
Political Affairs appeals to all
those who are interested in civil

rights, labor unions, African and.

Latin American Affairs and other
social and economic concerns, It
is the most effective way of getting
out of our ‘‘ivory tower’? and de-

_veloping or nourishing a concern

with contemporary questions.

Not enough students are aware
of what Alliance is or can be,
It need not only consist of such
established clubs as the Young
Republicans, Young Democrats, the
Bryn Mawr Conservatives or the
Social Action Committee; but
should be expanded by groups ex-
pressing a wide range of ‘student
interest. The job of the president
must be to see that such interest
is kept alive and helped to be-
come a reality through the spon-
sorship of Alliance. I feel that the
following ideas would be most



Pauline Chu

The role played by a political °

organizatibn on campus is of in-
creasing importance and the pos-’
sibilities for further development
of Alliance are manifold, For Al-
liance, at present, is only a co-
ordinator of campus organizations
which have as their main interest
national .events. There are no
groups which, serve to focus at-
tention on international politics.
But as well as coordinating activi-
ties, Alliance can show their con-
junction by presenting a picture of
the entire national scene and by
showing the United States in
international affairs.

Alliance may thus: be effective
on three higher levels - On the
first level, events may be seen
through political participants
themselves, such as; permanent
representatives to the United Na-

« tions in New York, delegates to

Washington, D, C., and Congress-
men, On the next level, conditions

of national and international in-

terest, (of which politicians canor
may only present a somewhat
biased view,) could be discussed
with speakers, professors and stu-
dents (American and foreign), On
the third level Alliance could in-
vite non-politically affiliated lec-
turers (in conjunction with the
‘language clubs in cases where the
speaker could deliver his address
in a foreign language).

At the level at which Alliance
has been operating, I feel that
many clubs could be revived, such
as the Debate Club, International

Ee

Left to right, Alliance nominees Edne Perkins, Pauline Chu,
Ryna Appleton, and Jody Strom,

effective in achieving such an end.
I propose that:

1. Alliance encourage greater
Student-faculty interchange by
sponsoring teas at which current
events of particular interest could
be discussed by faculty and stu-
dents together in a relaxed at-
mosphere,

2. There be a weekly current
events sheet, posted on the Al-
liance board in Taylor, listing Al-
liance’s programs for that period
and activities in- colleges within
reasonable traveling distance of
Bryn Mawr.

3. Alliance sponsor and organ-
ize trips to Washington for the
purpose of visiting government
buildings, nationait monuments and
hopefully, meeting with government
officials,

4, There be an organized and
informative bulletin board listing
the organization’s officers, de-
scribing their jobs and in what
way they can be of use to the
individual,

Alliance can be an exciting forum
or ‘student opinion on current af-
fairs. I feel the above suggestions
can help it ‘become —

Relations Club, Student Peace
Union and Discussion Club,

*I also propose to organize a
Conference about South East Asia,
for South East Asia is becoming
the field in which leading nations
will work out a new balance of
power. As aprojected date, Febru-
ary 16th through February 18th,
1966, ‘--- when United Nations
permanent delegates, professors
and outstanding commentators
could gather together to give us
a clarifying, enlightening, close-
range and comprehensive view of
South East Asian manoeuverings
and politics.

I think that Alliance is perform -
ing well a most necessary job, but
in the future it could have an even
more vital role in the campus
comprehension of international af-
fairs,

Edna Perkins

The problem of apathy is a
recurrent campus subject, and as
often as not it has something to
do with politics, But in advocating
freedom tohold any kind of political
idea and engage in any kind of
direct action, the campus activists
sometimes seem to forget that
other People have a right to be
politically uncommitted. and in-

é MERE.

Alliance should serve both the
activists and those who are quite
uninterested in politics. It should
make available a wide range of
lectures and other programs, in

hopes of being of some interest.- - -

to both groups and to those in-.
between, just as it should include
a wide range of political outlooks.

Much of the initiative for Al-
liance programs should come from
the various clubs within it,’ but
Alliance should also invite speak-
ers on subjects with which the clubs
do not. concern themselves. In
addition, it should try to present
opinions which are rarely heard
on this campus. Also, because it
is supposed to represent the entire
student body, it should take re-
sponsibility for inviting distin-
guished speakers.

In its role as coordinator of
the various clubs, Alliance should
select a general topic around which
to center many of its programs in
the coming year. Poverty in the
United States is one possible topic.
Speakers would be invited to ap-
proach the problem from a broad
range of viewpoints.

Alliance should also try to ar-
range more programs with Bryn
Mawr arid Haverford professors,
or students with special knowledge
of some field, as speakers. Pos-
sibly more use could be made of
films.

Alliance: should also continue to
encourage students to attend con-
ferences at other colleges.

Jody Strom

There is on campus apathy to
political affairs and the world
about us, This indifference toworld
issues is serious. Education is
more than booklearning and soul-

searching. An important part of

education is the application of
one’s knowledge to issues and sit-
uations off campus, Our basic atti-
tudes to the world are formed
now. Will we be able to assume
the leadership which will soon be
expected of us?

We must ‘combat apathy. Our
campus must become concerned
with the world, Involvement to the
20th century is just.as valuable,
if not more, than involvement with
the fourth. Our campus is rapidly

losing: its liveliness and will soon ©

remain secluded and out of the
maint-stream of colle¥e life.

I believe Alliance can and MUST
take on some of the burden in the
job of rejuvenation of the campus,
Alliance should strive to present
students with unbiased informa-
tion on the issues, Armed with
this information each student would
then be free to make the ultimate
decisions on eachissue, Alliance’s
main goal should then be one of
keeping the campus well-informed
and interested at all times.

As President I would organize
a REGULAR Monday night program
of speakers on timely topics, and
would attempt to establish some
sort of continuity to these dis-
cussions, I would plan to coor-
dinate activity with Haverford by
pooling resources to be able to
invite prominent speakers.

I would also like to institute
a dinner system whereby inter-
ested students would be able todine
intimately with the speaker at the
Deanery. Alliance should plan a
program of Saturday trips to the
Supreme Court, Congress, and the
U. N, in session, I would also like
to better publicize the conferences
held at different colleges and in-
vestigate the possiblity of holding
another conference of our own.

As President I would work to
make Alliance acenter of dissemi-
nation of information on world
issues, My goal: a lively campus
with contacts with Haverford and
Swarthmore, The campus must be
brought back into the world. |

Four Undergrad Candidates Two for Curriculum Committee
Propose Cure for Sore Spots

- Cabbs Denton

**Why I Would Like to Be Under-
grad President in Three Hundred
Words or Less by Cabbs Denton’’
is the title of this opus. The whole
thing can be summed up \in one
word: interest,

Enthusiasm and interest along
with the qualities needed to chair
a meeting are the main aspects
that should be looked for in a
president of Undergrad or any
other organization, With the pro-
per spirit, a president ‘can get a
good response from the _ hall

representatives and the rest of -

the Council. Since I do not feel
that the basic organization of
Undergrad neegs to. be changed, I
stand for a renewal of spiritwhich
can. only come from. the effi-
ciency, control and enthusiasm of
its leader.

As Common Treasurer, I headed
the Budget Committee which was
set up for the. first time last
year. I- would like to see this
committee remain active in its
position of determining ‘interest
and thereby judging the requests
of the campus organizations for
Undergrad funds. Thus Undergrad
dues will not be wasted or raised
without good reason.

I would also like to see a re-
vived interest in Tri-College, Now
that the driving rule has been
changed, transportation toSwarth-
more for academic, social and
cultural events should be much
easier. Similar exchanges with
other schools would also be a good
idea, Perhaps the Exchange Com-
mittee could consider trading
dramatic or choral performances.
If the groups are invited to dinner
or to spend the night, the com-
*municating of ideas and informa-
tion will be between a larger num-
ber than the few students involved
in the present plan,

Another group that I would like
to see is a liaison group between
the alumni and the students. Such
a group would then know people
interested in Bryn Mawr who could
help get speakers, job interviews
or other forms of support.

Popie Johns

An opinion is a belief that should
be sound, but not all sound. I be-
lieve that innovations in the areas
of the Curriculum Committee, the
Exchange Committee, the Inn and
Bryn Mawr’s interaction with the
community can be made and should
be made. The changes that have
been suggested for the Curriculum
Committee - that it be made one
of the big six, that it be a campus
elected office, and that it be in-
corporated into the dinner system
- are good ones. The Committee
could extend its area of responsi-
bility to include some provision
for informing students of jobs
and opportunities available for the
various majors in addition to
holding teas similar to those held
this year. The possibility of offer-
ing vocational guidance tests for
those not planning on graduate
school should also be considered.

Secondly, co-ordination between
the Exchange Committee and
the Undergrad Board, which seems
ne¢essary, could be accomplished
by having the secretary of Under-
grad be the secretary of the Ex-
change Committee as well.

Thirdly, the propositions for
the Inn drawn up by this year’s
committee should be carried out
immediately and completely. The
location of the Inn, with the open-
ing of Erdman, will be an added
stimulant to its role as a student
union, but only if the Innis redone.

The last proposal I would make
here is that we attempt to in-
crease interaction between our
‘college and the community by pub-

licizing’ campus events through the
community newspapers, andin turn
by keeping abreast of community
activities,

The Undergraduate Association
is an organization created to take
care of the everyday business on
campus, to act as a sounding board
for ideas that arise, toaccomplish
these ideas, and to inform the

campus through hall representa-
tives of what has been done and
what will be done. It is my hope
that through this organization these
objectives can be obtained.

In the wsval order, Undergrad hopefuls Popie Johns, Liesa Stamm,

Caroline Willis

I believe that a large part of
Undergrad’s effort in the coming
year should be .spent on getting
the Curriculum Committee actively
on its feet. Of the things most
needed by the student body, first
is more contact with the faculty,
Students’ wishes should be voiced,
and there should be. continuous
evaluation and re-evaluation of
courses, all of which is the job of
the Committee.



and Cabbs Denton, Missing is Caroline Willis.

Liesa Stamm

As the major organ for campus
activity, it is Undergrad’s duty to
be aware of discontent on cam-

pus and provide some remedy for ©

it. Unfortunately Undergrad
doesn’t have direct contactwith the
students. Most of us don’t know
what Undergrad is doing and don’t
have the time or incentive to find
out. This is partially a failing
of the student body, but Undergrad
should operate in recognition of the
character of the typical Bryn Mawr
student and attempt to reach the
individual. This can be accom-

-plished by expanding the number

of representatives to one from
each class in. the dorm, since
most Bryn Mawr students have
their major contact with members
of their own class in the dorm.

‘One of the main problems at
Bryn Mawr is the ‘*no—man’s
land’? between the faculty and ad-
ministration and the student, who
has the feeling that the adminis-
tration, and faculty are not really
interested in her as a person.

Undergrad can arrange for each
dorm to have. faculty members
for informal gatherings at least
once a month as a means of pro-
viding. .more student-faculty con-
tact. In social matters, Under-
grad could sponsor ‘a film.series
and use the facilities of the Inn
to give informal parties on week-
ends or following the movies. Our
present mixer system is inade-
quate and. Undergrad -should
arrange campus-wide mixers with
more distant mens’ colleges,
as well as helping individuals in
the dorms organize smaller social
gatherings in the Inn or Applebee
Barn.

In summary, Undergrad must
have more contact with the indi-
vidual’s problems. Undergrad has
the potentialities of becoming a
vital organization which reflects
student opinion rather than an in-
stitution which transcends the stu-
dent body and to which we
grudgingly pay dues twice a year.

‘Undergrad, knowing the nature of

the student body, should not ex-
pect. students, to come to it, be-

‘cause they won’t, rere

XY

I should like-to see an active
exchange program carried on not
only in lunches. with Haverford,
but also with colleges all over the
country, and an active participa-
tion in NSA.

A sérious problém on campus
is the level of student wages. I
plan to continue this year’s ef-
forts with a vengence. The cost
of college forces many students
to seek employment during the
school year; at the current rates,
campus jobs are not worth the

_ time they take away from studies.

The Undergrad. job opportunity
program needs to be continued as

, well,

I strongly advocate the use of
the College Inn in its proposed
role as a student union, and hope
to see Undergrad push for a stu-
dent parking: lot.

Continued contact with the Ha-
verford Student Council is neces-
sary, and the joint Calendar of
Events should be resumed. There
are also ways in which the big
5/6 can be brought closer together,
especially in music programs and
social events.

The Undergrad Board itself
needs to undergo essential changes.

‘These should, in my opinion, in-

clude a cut in the number of
meetings. I suggest that the Board
meet in Erdman for dinner no
more than twice a month, thus
urging the Committee heads to
take care of their own business
and inducing responsible attend-
ance,’ The Board would then be
able to act on those issues which
merit the attention of all itsmem-
bers,

Two added suggestions: publish
the Undergrad minutes in the
NEWS; and engage the Undergrad
eminent speaker early in the year.

Suggest Various New Courses

Now that Curriculum Committee
has become one of the “Big 6’?
campus organizations, it is a good
time to clarify and broaden its

aims and. function, At present there.

seems to be little communication
between Curriculum Committee
and either the faculty or the stu-
dent body.

Its most important function
should be to act as a liaison be-
tween the student body and faculty,
especially the Faculty Curriculum
Committee. Students should be
urged to give suggestions regard-
ing the curriculum -- changes
in college requirements, the addi-
tion of new courses, changes in
existing courses -- to department
or class representatives. A small

/Sroup of Curriculum Committee
members should have meetings

once or twice a month with the
faculty committee to let them
know’ what students want. A
Curriculum, Committee is com-
pletely ineffective if. this is not
done.

Curriculum Committee ought
also to deal with matters not
specifically concerning the Cur-
riculum., The plan that is now
under. way for preparing reading
lists for all Bryn Mawr courses,
which will be available to stu-
dents near the end of second
semester so that they can see
exactly what each course covers
and do course reading over the
summer, is excellent, This should
be done each year. Curriculum
Committee could also work to-
wards instituting a reading period
before exams or a longer inter-
session break.

Curriculum Committee will be

an effective, vital organization if .

it is constantly aware of student
and faculty opinion. It is most
important to publicize the com-
mittee’s function and to make it
known that it is willing to handle
any question students want brought
before the faculty.

The introduction in the Bryn
Mawr College Calendar says: ‘*No
field is so broad that it cannot
take advantage of the specialist’s
deep understanding;* no specialty
is so obscure that it may not
profit from a breadth of percep-

_tion.’? This should be the light in

which we discuss college require-
ments and departmental courses
and requirements.

If we are not satisfied with
specific required courses, should
we try to improve them, or strike
out the requirement? Freshmen
might benefit more from a tutorial
composition system, meeting once
a week in manageable groups; they

_ could set up a series of readings

on specific topics with the pro-
fessor’s advice, and do either a
paper or a report each week. They
could do this in any introductory
course in the social sciences, as
an alternative to English.

Should pre-medical students be
absolved from any of the human-
ities requirements? Should Bryn
Mawr remain absolutely ‘liberal
arts,’”’ or should we consider

adapting the system to modern-
demands? Something would be



gainéd, something lost -- how
do we decide?

Demand for new courses should
be discussed by the curriculum
committee. We have courses on
Africa in political science and an-

thropology; African history and

art would round out a minor field
of concentration,

As president of the curriculum
committee, I would plan a more
reliable system of representation
from each department; decide upon
specific topics for discussion with
the committee, announce them in
advance, and open the discussions
to all those interested, faculty and
students alike. I would arrange
for a report of each discussion
to be posted in Taylor, and provo-
cative ideas would be reported
in the NEWS,

I would like to arrange faculty
talks and “panel discussions on
both specific and general topics
concerned with the function and
interrelation of the various dis-
ciplines within the college pro-
gram. The series on the meaning
of a liberal arts education should,
I think, become a theme to be
organized by the curriculum com-
mittee.

The curriculum committee
president should aim at imagina-
tive leadership, be. receptive to
new ideas, and enjoy her job of
communicating student ideas to
the faculty and’the administration,
and vice versa. I would like very
much to do my best in this new,
challenging position this coming
year.

‘Viet Nam Protest
Will Be Topic
Of SAC Panel

by Margaret Levi, '68

The effectiveness of protest ac-
tion against United States policy
in Viet Nam will be the subject
of an SAC panel discussion Thurs-
day, March 4, at 5 p.m. in the
Common Room. Professor Paul
Brass of the Political Science
department, Professor Philip,
Lichtenberg of the School of So-
cial Work, and a member of the
Social Action Committee will be
the participants.

The need for this discussion is
felt as a result of the many re-
cent demonstrations in which Bryn
Mawr girls have been taking part.
One hundred five ‘students signed
the Social Action Committee peti-
tion to the President, also as a
protest against Viet Nam war-
fare.

On Saturday, February 13, 12
Bryn Mawr girls and several facul-
ty .members, among whom was
Professor Lichtenberg, marched

‘from Independence Hall to City

Hall as part of a large demon-
stration objecting to the recent
bombings of North Viet Nam. Last
Saturday Lynne Moody and sev-
‘eral compatriots took part in a
similar demonstration in Wash-
ington, D.C.

Margaret Levi attended the pub-
lic signing of the ‘*Declaration
of Conscience’? in Philadelphia,
The signing of this petition is
technically san act of civil dis-
obedience and raised several ques-
tions of policy for SAC,

~ Woman in the Dunes Recalls Kafka



In Terrifying, Mysterious Features

by Riki Stewart, '65 |

Watching WOMAN IN THE
DUNES is like reading Kafka. The
protagonist, like*-Joseph K. in THE
TRIAL, is trapped by mysterious
forces, and is overwhelmed with
terror. He is tricked, taken ad-
vantage of, and exploited -- loses
all personal freedom and is final-
ly forced to give in to his captors,
Unlike Kafka’s work, however, the
WOMAN IN THE DUNES resolves
itself in hope and reveals that in
the individual’s capacity to ac-
climate himself to nearly any hard-
ship lies his nobility and meaning.

The overwhelming dramatic
force of the allegory the movie
presents is not achieved primarily
through direct action, It is chief-
ly achieved through the astounding
clarity and unity that results from
total technical exploitation of the
allegory’s central symbol: the
dunes,

In the first scene the camera
focuses on the vast expanse of the
dunes and on the protagonist slow-
ly collecting insects. After walking
for a while in the hot sun he
becomes tired and, lying down
on the dunes, sees a mirage of
the woman he* is about to meet.
Approached by some villagers who
offer him a night’s rest in a
shack in a pit nearby, he is dropped
below and encounters the woman of
the dunes, Through the hero’s con-
versation with the woman we learn
he is a city worker from Tokyo
using his brief vacation to pursue
his favorite hobby, etymology.
From her remarks we learn that
she has always lived in the dunes
and has lost her husband and
daughter in a sandstorm.

The realistic elements of the
plot form the genesis of the fan-

tastic events that follow. In the
morning, prepared to leave, he dis-
covers that the rope ladder he was
dropped down on has been pulled
up, and running to wake the woman,
he realizes that he is trapped there,
In the following tumultuc 2s scenes
with the woman he discovers that
the villagers have trapped him in

_ order to insure that the sand be

regularly shovelled away from the
hut, After a fruitless attempt to
escape he finally realizes that he
will not be allowed to survive un-
less he works, and begins the end-
less and futile job of shovelling
sand,

The perpetual focusing of the
camera on the dunes throughout

.these scenes reveals the symbolic

meaning of the events within them,
Even while the man is violently
rebelling from his predicament on
the grounds of the indispensibility
in his city job, the camera is con-
centrated on the sand perpetually
falling through the roof covering
everything in the hut. When he first
discovers that he is trapped and
runs back to the woman the
camera’s movement along the con-
tours of her naked sleeping body
covered with sand repeats the
pattern of the dunes, When they
are both exhausted from shovel-
ling and desperate with thirst, the
camera’s slow movement along
the side of the woman’s throat
wet with sweat and covered with
sand like the throat of a reptile
Shows the omnipotence of the
dunes, In the lovemaking scene
between the man and the woman
the symbolic importance of the
dunes is most evident ofall, Every
time they come in contact it re-

‘sults first from the pretext of

wiping sand off each other. In the

shift of the camera,_to the steady
stream of sand running down the
dune in the form of a phallus
accompanies the climax of their
union, ; =

Because of this gradual: pro-
cess of symbolic presentation of
theme, the end of the movie when
the hero decides to stay even though
he is now able to escape is in-
evitable. The ostensible reason for
his decision, his discovery of the
method for gathering water from
the sand (the new Adam, as one
reviewer has said, preparing Eden
for his Eve), is merely the cul-
mination of his gradual adapta-
tion to the demands of the dunes,
The irony implicit in the fact that
the dunes represent the way in
which the individual is trapped
by industrialized society is over-

whelmingly countered by the in- -
dividual’s ability to create his _

own oasis in the wasteland,

_ Hell Week

(Continued from page 1)
dividuals should be given more
consideration as: a- sign of yeal
interest on the part of the sopho-
mores.

PEMBROKE WEST representa-
tives reported unanimous fresh-
man support of this year’s -Hell
Week. They described it as **com-

pletely successful’? and praised

sophomores for their constant con-
cern with the freshmen.

The only objection again con-
cerned the time and suggestions
were offered for scheduling Hell
Week either a-week earlier than
the show or starting it on Thurs-
day morning.

RADNOR described its Hell
Week as ‘“‘pretty much of a
success” although not up to
freshman expectations, The stu-
dents agreed that there should be
a lot of activity during the time to
maintain the spirit. Again, both the
time and the Friday afternoon
**seclusion” came under fire.

RHOADS representatives de-
scribed their problem as partly one
of lack of active participation by all
the sophomores, which they felt
was necessary to prevent the theme
from breaking down,

ROCKEFELLER reported mixed
reactions from both classes al-

* though. they were. ‘generally
favorable.’? They praised individ-
ual attention to the skits and other
projects involved which evoked
spirited freshman participation.

Because of the length and variety
of suggestions offered there will be
a second meeting next Monday
night to determine any.specific re-
organization of the tradition

Day-Lewis Defines Yeats
On Aristocratic Tradition

English poet and critic, C. Day-
Lewis, who delivered the Ann
Elizabeth Sheble Memorial lecture
Monday on ‘**Heroic Elements in
W. B. Yeats,’’? concentrated on
aristocratic tradition in a eloquent
speech commemorating the 100th
anniversary of his subject’s birth.

Yeats, said Day-Lewis, had a
certain trilogy of life: aristocrats,
who create beautiful manners,
countrymen, who create beautiful

stories, and artists, who create .

all the rest, ‘*because providence
has filled them with reckless-
ness.’?

‘In the aristocratic tradition
Yeats found four important quali-
ties. First he revered the emphasis
on custom and ceremony,
especially in terms of the hierar-
chical and conservative pattern of
life, asin the relation between
land owner and peasant.

Too, he recognized lack of fear
as a common factor among aris-
tocrats, countrymen and artist,
who are thus capable of creating
their respective beauties. Thirdly
he supposed that the continuity and
respect for personality in the
aristocratic class gives the poet
material for worship, particularly
hero worship.

Last, the pride and dignity of
the aristocracy influenced Yeats’
own style. He presented emotions
in luminous, noble images, and
wrote with pure and unforced mag-
nanimity.

Hero worship for Yeats was the
way a man can best comment on

gs

day at 3:00 p.m. in Goodhart. The program will include Beetho-
ven’s “‘Leonore Overture #2,’’ Prokofiev's ‘Lieutenant Kije
Suite,"’ and Brahms’ ‘‘Symphony #1 in C Minor.'' The Concert
will be conducted by William Reese, director of the Bryn Mawr-
Haverford Orchestra, and John Corley, director of the M.I.T. Sym-

~ phony Orchestra.

the abundance of his own person-
ality, Day-Lewis pointed out.
Yeats’ poetry is all ‘‘immortal
moments ... the human spirit at
full stretch ... most intensely
living moments.’? The sense of
affinity in hero worship should
facilitate self-understanding.
Yeats, Day-Lewis concluded, di-
rects our eyes not to mediocre, .
but to worthwhile heroes. Thus
his last will and testament is an
‘testate of the fine free spirit.’’

Press Conference
Discusses France

AndFrench Y outh

by Pat Klein, '66

All was revealed at. a press
conference on France and French
life, held Tuesday evening in W ynd-
ham’s Ely Room.

The panel of experts was com-
prised of Mr. Ferrater-Mora of
the Philosophy Department, Miss
Jones and Mr. Guggenheim of the
French Department, Mme. Made-
leine Genton, warden of Wyndham,
and Caroline Foster, ’67, who has
lived in France, Laos, and Thai-
land, The interrogators were given
carte blanché, and discussion be-
gan and continued-at a lively pace.

It was the general feeling of the
panel that Frerch:youth are less
aware politically than their Am-
erican counterparts, and_ that
apathy has~-become widespread
since the end of the Algerian War.

Discussion turned to the Am-
ericanization of France. -- the
supermarket and Coca-Cola inva-
sion, the corruption of the French
language by English, and the de-
mand for counterfeit Harvard and.
Yale tee-shirts and blazers on the
French Riviera. :

Caroline pointed out that the
younger generation is willing to
accept American -conveniences
such ‘as frozen foods, while their
elders mistrust all that-is-not-
French, it was also agreed that the
image of the rich American tourist
was no longer valid, and that

~ antiAmericanism had all but-dis-

appeared.

Education, finally, held the cen-
ter of attention. Mr. Guggenheim

felt that while the French lycee_

system, in which the student re-
ceives a broad, general education
before passing the baccalaureats,
is excellent, whereas education at ©
the university level left much to
be desired, due to overcrowding,
lack of papers, and the reliance on
one examination to indicate the
merit of the student. __

TW3 Both Good and Bad;

Humor Sometimes Forced Bureau Gives Aid

by Marcia Young

Definitely fun: and games
was the British cast production
of THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT
WAS at. Haverford February 19th.

The most popular players
were, perhaps, Tim Brooke-
Taylor and Bill Oddie, both with
the cast of the CAMBRIDGE
CIRCUS and A DEGREE OF FROST
before their appearances’ with
TW3. The humor was for the most
part due to their facial
expressions. Tim Brooke-Taylor
seemed to have a face of rubber
judging from the things he did
with it. The cast on the whole
was well coordinated and made
quite a team,

They tore into and knocked
down everything from Hilton Hotels
to Shakespeare, The relative im-
portance and psychological signi-
ficance of fly buttons was attacked
vicioisly by Al Mancini, attired
as. one who ought. to. know--

College Theatre
Puts 5 Mawrters
In One-Act Plays

Five Bryn Mawr girls have re-
ceived parts in the Bryn Mawr-

Haverford College Theatre’s mid--

winter program of three one-act
plays, each to be directed by a
student member of the College
Theatre,

The three plays, scheduled for |

March 19 and 20, are THE PUB-
LIC EYE, by Peter Schaeffer,
directed by Terry van Brunt;
ORPHEE, by Jeatl Cocteau, di-
rected by Jane Robbins; and THE
TIGER, by Murray Schisgal, to be
directed by Rich Gartner.

The five girls are Margaret
Edwards in THE PUBLIC EYE,
Diana Willis, Nimet Habachy and
Marianne Emerson \in. ORPHEE,
and. Erica Hahn ,in THE TIGER.

Eleven boys from Haverford are
holding up the masculine side of the
theatrical t@éte 4 téte. They are
Richard Bready in THE TIGER,
Steve Bennett and Chris Kopff in
THE PUBLIC EYE, and Chuck.

, Strang, John Pierce, Peter Mos-

kovitz, Charles Rignall, David
Lowry, Peter Batzell, Jeffry
Gamble and Robert Berson in OR-
PHEE.

ORPHEE is 2 ‘a oe about the
immortal lovers, Orpheus and

Euridice, while THE TIGER is an |

experimental parody of anti-con-
formity plays via the actions of a
Long Island housewife and her
abductor.

Tryouts were Thursday, Febru-
ary 18, for all three plays, and
cast lists were posted Friday. The
plays went into rehearsal Sunday.

The College Theatre people add
that they were most impressed with
the tryouts. Most of the girls cast
in the plays have not acted for the
College Theatre before, although
all have done dramatic work in
other capacities.

Start Hunt for Summer Jobs Now;

by Kit Bakke
Bryn Mawr girls are looking
for two kinds of summer jobs:
those that pay and those that are
interesting and exciting, but rarely
do they find such opportune situa-

‘tions, The ideal job is considered

glamorous, involving traveling or
staying in big cities, meeting fas-
cinating people and receiving pay
of more than $50 a week. The
way to get this kind of job, says
the Bureau of Recommendations,
is NOT through the Bureau of
Recommendations,

The Bureau is not an
employment agency; employers
don’t come with long lists of jobs
to. be filled. Rather the Bureau
serves as a guide to students on
how to get jobs, where to look,
and what approach to take.

S:A.C. Seminar on Topic
“College and Com er

At the second in a series of
seminars sponsored by the Social
Action Committee, E. Digby. Balt-
zell, Professor of Sociology at the
University of Pennsylvania, spoke
last night on **The University and
the Community.”

Quite -contrary to what. most
present had expected, Professor
Baltzell did not advocate university
or college involvement in com-
munity affairs, particularly those
affairs of a political nature. Secular
concerns, he states, are not the
function of learning; the university
should be divorced from worldly
problems. Stressing the im-
portance of ‘‘seeking the truth *
as the essence of learning, Pro-
fessor Baltzell maintained that
although the university should not
be an ‘ivory tower’’ it should not

‘be deeply involved in_ political

alliances.

In presenting his views, Pro-
fessor Beitaey drew a parallel
between ‘religious and political
committments. Asin the nineteenth
century the educational institutions
and the state were separated from

‘the ultimate committment of the

people -- religion; so should ed-
ucation today be separated from
what seems the ultimate committ-
ment of modern society -- politics.
He gave the example of the new
presentation of ‘history’? to to-
day’s school children. Actually,

he stated, the schools do not teach |
history but democracy.

Professor Baltzell did encourage
individuals to take an interest in
current political affairs, but even
that encouragement was not with-

out reservation. ‘‘Political apathy .

is a terrible thing,’’ he said, ‘‘but
total participation would be calam-
itous.’’ Continuing with his thoughts
on personal involvement in
politics, he stated, ‘It is tragic
to be totally committed to a politi-
cal idealogy.’’

What, then, should be the role
of the student in political and
community affairs? According to
Professor Baltzell, that role
should be practically nonexistent.
The student, he feels, must first
reflect upon his own ideas; that
is, Professor Baltzell__prefers
more inward rather than outward

orientation.

their earnings were for last
summer, which serve as lists of

where to apply this year. The well-.

paying jobs are dull jobs: working
in offices (typing and stenography)
and waitressing in good hotels
and resorts... Waitresses make
their money. from tips, so it pays
to be fast and cheerful. In fact,
last summer 32 BMC waitresses
made $14,550, and the 105 student
office workers made $47,500,

In a slightly different category
are the experience jobs. These
not only give the employee ex-
perience, but they often require
experience themselves, .They are
usually held by upperclassmen
working in their major fields,
typically in laboratories or social
work centers,

The Social Work Careers Pro-
gram is located in most large
cities and has openings for sopho-
mores and juniors. The average
pay is $50 a week; the work

Jobs inthe sciences depend strong-
ly on experience; for example,
six freshmen worked in labs last
summer and made only $2,700
collectively, “while 22 seniors
working in labs made $16,850.

A popular job with Bryn. Mawr
girls is working all or part of
the summer in camps and recrea-
tion centers, These are fairly low

summer--but room and board is

ART: USA Show in Philly

Displays American Variety |

by Peggy Wilber

ART: USA, the featured exhi-
bition at the Philadelphia Museum
of Art, includes 102 works of 102
living American artists, painted
between 1916 and 1962. As an

‘attempt at a contemporary cross-
section of American art, this col-
lection has recently returnedfrom
a two-and-a~half-year, 13 country
tour of Europe and the Far East,
where it was most enthusiastically
received, and it would seem that
its Philadelphia debut is drawing
similar praises, :

ART: USA is the project of Phila-

delphians Mr. and Mrs..H.F, John-

son, who express their thoughts on
the exhibit in the following man-
ner: ‘Our interest in this project
might be described, we think, as a
sort of act of faith in American art
and at the same time, an experi-
ment by a business firm in in-
ternational relations on a people-
to-people~ level.’? Because they
felt that the time had come for a
corporation to support the visual
arts in America, the JohnsonCom-
pany attempted to acquire a col-
lection of serious paintings which
would reveal to foreigners and
Americans alike the great con-
tributions being made by American
artists.

, As with any exhibit, there seems
to be room for the inevitable cri-
ticisms of the methods of selec-
tion. Perhaps many will complain
that the majority of the paintings
were executed between 1959 and
1962, and that the earlier period
is comparatively neglected. But
since the paintings only range
up to 1962, pop art arrived too
late for inclusion, and the latter
period also ‘‘suffers.’’

It may irritate many also that
such painters as Jackson Pollock,
Arshile Gorky and Arthur Dove
are not represented. But perhaps
the broader flavor of this exhi-
bition has been best expressed by
a review in Berlin’s DIE WELT
which states; ‘It shows that the
abstract expressionist following
Pollock probably dominates in the
Museum of Modern Art, but not
in American painting at .large.’’

This variety is so great that it
seems surprising that so many
viewers respond to the exhibition
in such an overwhelmingly un-
ambivalent fashion; what results
is an all-pervading feeling of con-
fidence in the artists and in their
great freedom and powers of ex-
pression,

Indeed, in the paintings them-
selves there is only one constant,

which is their great size. As one
perceptive viewer remarked,
“Americans don’t paint small.’

Rather than try to read into this
a fundamental tenet of the
American character, let us re-
strict ourselves to the exhibit at
hand and state that the uniformly

large canvases themselves display

the lack of confinement hinted at
above - which is perhaps the most
heartening aspect of the show. If
the artists are hemmed in, their
canvases at.least do not reveal it.
(Tortured, perhaps, but with little
compunction about expressing it!)

Inevitably,
compelled to single out a few
paintings for comment.’ I found
Paul Wonner’s 1961 BEDROOM,
a blue and white scene of a man
sitting on the side of a bed, a
triumph of luminous simplicity;
Hans Hoffman’s overwhelmingly
positive kindergarten palette in
EMERALD ISLE, could render ita
sapphire or ruby as well, and
William Kienbush’s SEA GARDEN
conveyed shimmering motion with
the proper verve amd agressive-
ness.

‘The novelty of Robert Rauschen-
berg’s RESERVOIR, a 1961 com-
bine, cannot be overlooked; this
contains the faces of two electric
clocks, both still running, although
I searched in vain for the plug,
since it might have made a nice
detail on the painting itself.

It seems a shame that the one
Wyeth entry, SCARECROW is ra-
ther uninteresting, and one would
have preferred an- alternate se-
lection, particularly in a collec-
tion being circulated so widely.
Also, I objected to the hanging of
the most overwhelmingly abstract
works in the same room; as al-
ready stated, the strong point of
the show had seemed its vitality
arising out of. variety; it seems
that only in this group of eight or
ten paintings was the principle
overlooked which made the rest
of the exhibit such a positive and
optimistic experience.

The exhibit will continue at the
Museum through March 9.

Destiny in Tiger At the € ates:

Hig h Point otf Giraudoux

by Marcia Ringel, '68

French dramatist Jean Girau-
doux discusses the inevitable om-,
nipotence of Fate in the play
“Tiger at the Gates,’’ to complete
a 2-1/2-week run Sunday at the
Theatre of the Living Arts, Phil-

‘ adelphia.

The esséntial charm of ‘‘Tiger’’
rests. with. Giraudoux’ stunningly
modern treatment of the events in
ancient Troy just before the Tro-
jan War. It is because Destiny’s
tiger prowls and necessitates the
Trojan War that the play has often
been classified with Euripedes’

‘‘¢The Trojan Women’? as a wry

protest against war.
The open-thrust, uncurtained
position of the little 450-seat
theater’s convertible proscenium
renders the production clean and
free, an asset ngt ignored by the
excellent staging of director John
O’Shaughnessy, who uses to best
advantage every concrete step and
iron bench of the stark but com-

fortable single set. ‘

It becomes apparent from the
' play’s opening speeches that An-
‘dromache (Lois Smith) has neither °

the regal voice nor the regal bear-
ing inherent in her personality.
Miss Smith’s unfortunate -lack of
stature is made more obvious by
the presence of a convincing Cas-
sandra, Ruth Manning - a well
seasoned actress who delivers her
lines with the irony and bitterness
befitting an unheeded auguress.

The experience of the cast in
general as recounted in the Play-
bill is highly impressive. In spite
of this, the actors are unable to
establish with the audience the
thorough individual rapport desir-
able in any. play and vital for one
as complex as ‘Tiger.’? The

characters are not human, but

types fixed by legend; their por-
trayal must be particularly con-
sistent to be effective, especially.
when one considers the stylized

nature of their characters.

This reviewer is disappointed
by what the actors choose as
consistent personalities. There is
a cool sardonic wit between the
lines which, except possibly for
Cassandra, wise old Hecuba (Mir-
fam Phillips), and Ulysses (Don
McHenry), the performers fail to
acknowledge.

It seems in this production that
whenever an actor may define his
own motivations and personality,
he selects the weaker traits, thus
limiting the stature of both his own
character and the production as a
whole.

Wendell K. Phillips, Sr. has
chosen a loud, weak, unperceptive
Priam instead of an old, impracti-
cal, narrow Priam. Robert
Gentry’s Paris is more vacant than
selfish, Andromache is. petulant
in her pleas. Helen, played quite
well by Sally Kirkland, is frighten-
ed of her own vision and her own
power, rather. than proud and

,

shrewd, as the play would readily .

allow.

This is not to say that the
above character interpretations
are invalid. However, it does seem

“

that had the cast studied the play
more closely, there would not have
resulted the mediocre production
which did lack depth,

The saucy 20th Century lines
in a classic setting must be treated
classically to expose the under-
lying satire without -creating a
sense of the absurd. Hector’s
momentous scene with Ulysses, in
which they discuss the war tocome,
grows noisy from George Gaynes’
violence. Hector’s. tender first
scene with Andromache seemed
more a suburban couple’s angry
bout than a glad but concerned
reunion, ‘

Perhaps “Tiger at the Gates”
was too ambitious a choice for
Philadelphia’s new repertory com-
pany. But a troupe can learn,

‘with experience, Hopefully their

March production of **The Mis-
anthrope’? will exhibit more
maturity.
