“The Committee of Responsi- .

Herbért Needleman, the psychia-
trist from Temple who is national
chairman of the Committee, at a

meeting February 20th in Good-

hart,

The purpose of the Committee
of Responsibility is to make proper
medical aid available to Viet-
namese children burned and in-
jured by the war, by bringing the
children to hospitals in the United
States. Started by a housewife in
New York City who was inspired
by a similar project for Algeria,

Students Generally Favorable

The student response to the pro-
posed changes in the Self-Gov Con-
stitution at the recent hall meetings
was generally positive according to
the Constitutional Revision Com-
mittee ata meeting last Wednesday,

The Committee members began
their talks with the dorms by ex-
plaining the philosophy of individual
judgment. and responsibility which
lies behind the increased freedom
they propose, They then listened to
criticisms of their revisions. The
suggestions for improvement com-
piled from the various dorms ex-
pressed modifications, but few
basic objections to the suggestions
of the Committee.

Several proposals involved the
dress rule. Some girls wanted it
abolished altogether. Others felt
that if mini-skirts were allowed in
class, gym tunics should be, too.
Others thought skirts should be re-
quired for lectures,






‘respectable public accommoda-
tions,” ‘*private residences’ and
‘cin. care of a person able to as-
sume responsibility’? according to
some students. They expressed the
opinion that many girls now write
false signouts to conform to the
rule, when the purpose of a signout
is not appearance, but to let some-
one know where a student can be
reached in an emergency, Manyfelt
that unescorted overnight nenynete
should be allowed.

These suggestions, having been
approved by at least ten students,
will be submitted to Executive
Board. The Board will then draw up
a ballot, send it to Legislature,
where it will be discussed for one
day, and then released for a campus
vote,

the Committee’s proposals, suchas

Alliance to Explore Roles
Of Students in University

In response to Mrs. Marshall’s
convocation speech on new issues
confronting the student and the uni-
versity, Alliance plans to hold an

all day conference on education next

Saturday, March 4. The purpose of
the conference is to encourage stu-
dents to start thinking about their
role as students and as members
of society.

Specifically, the conference will

treat two questions. The studentas

a citizen will be the first subject
considered. The position of the
university in training the student

Once the student’s relation to
society is considered, his direction
within the university will be dis-
cussed. The type of courses he
should be able to choose, and his
part in cooperating with the faculty
and administration in making the
policy of the university are ques-
tions which might be posed.

These questions will for the most
part be dealt with by resource pan-
els, and then discussed by the con-
ference at large. Mrs. Marshall,
Miss McBride, Marvin Watman, the
President of Lincoln University,

Board, The Hall Presidents, for
example, would have to decide if a
new lock was required each time a
key was lost. Executive Board’s
role as a judge and adiscretionary
agent would be enlarged if the num-
ber of specific rules were demin-
ished,

A discussion of the implications
of these changes in terms of the
structure of Self-Gov and espec-
jally of the student body as acom-
munity will be found in the editor-
jal column on the following page.

Foreign Students
Discuss Education
At BMC, Abroad

On Friday, February 24, the
Foreign Student Committee will
offer us the chance to broaden
the evaluation of a Bryn Mawr
education to an international scale.
At 4 p.m. in the Common Room,
a group of foreign students will
discuss the educational systems
in their countries.

They will describe what it is
like to be a student there, the nature
of the students’ political power,
and, in general, compare their
systems with ours. They will,
of course, answer any ques-
tions which might be brought
up. The number of speakers has
not yet been definitely fixed, but
the Committee does already have
three scheduled lectures: Dora
Chizea from Nigeria, Beryl Fer-

nandez from India and Veronica

=e oA. gad thing revealed by the hall dis-
cussions of the proposed constitutional
. revisions is that some Bryn Mawr girls
don’t trust their fellow students, They
feel that if keys were issued girls would
lose them or let them be duplicated, dis-
regarding the safety of their dorm.
They point to the fact that Self-Gov rules,
such as the one forbidding smoking in the
rooms, are broken regularly, and that
there is little recognition of community
. spirit on Campus,

It seems to us that trust in each stu-—
dent’s ability to interpret the spirit
of the community in her own way is at
the basis of the honor system, Without this.
respect between the members of Self-
Gov, rules are obeyed out of fear of
other student’s immaturity rather than
from a desire to build a responsible com-

munity, Without any sense of personal -

committment in supporting the constitu-
tion it becomes merely a form,
Lack of trust between individuals exists
now and will only become more notice-
able if, -as_ the Constitutional Re-
-vision Gommittee proposes, the cam-
ouflage of rules is thinned, . :
.Perhaps one reason the honor syathin
is violated so often is that the rules do
not correspond to the views and actions
of the student’ community. If students

think the dress rule’-is--unnecessarily-.

restrictive and alien to their needs, they
will wear pants to the ville believing that
they. are upholding the reputation of the
college in a perfectly respectable way.
If the revisions to the Constitution pass,
there will be fewer rules, but perhaps
they will be more meaningful. If students
feel that the rules meet their own stand-
ards to a large extent, it will be
a matter of personal honor to uphold
them,A living and various community
will have replaced the structure ofa more
uniform ’ which is unreal,

It is argued that some girls may not
bother to interpret greater personal free-
dom in terms of their fellow students
or their own limitations. They may hurt
the community and they may hurt them-
selves, . Yet students. will not learn
to meet ‘situations and to recognize their
weaknesses behind a shield of regulations,
They won’t gain any sense of mutual
respect by fencing each other’s actions
with rules in distrust instead of under-
standing.

It is true that the present rules of
Self-Gov absorb a need for self dis-
cipline that will be released when
they are loosened, Drug use, personal
appearance in the ville, overnight
signouts in the area are a few questions
which may come up.and which should
not be ignored or left completely to
the discretiom of the individual if people
are being hurt,

already pointed out that it would be
difficult for the 22 girls on the board
alone to judge and to make policy state-

Perhaps one way to lessen the burden

create a more..representative and open
system for making policy. Perhaps ex-
ecutive board could be supplemented
with a council of dorm representatives.
Perhaps it could hold gampus wide meet-

various issues, If students particpate
in Self-Gov, not only will its policy

have more relevance to their individual
needs, By entering into discussian with
fellow students they will realize the scale
of different abilities and opinions which
must somehow be harmonized, though
not made monotone, if the community
is to hold together in a dynamic way.

Letters to the Editor





Beyond Hours

To the Editor:

The letter to the Editor (Feb, 10) from
a Bryn Mawr parent was well written
and raised relevant issues, My reply
is not, perhaps, typical of the thinking
on campus, but I think the letter deserves
better than no response at all, —

I would like to deal with only two, of
the parent’s premises to: show my view-
point, It seems to me his (or her)
argument rests on two of his premises:
(1) that the College has the responsibility
to act to protect all its members, but
that its main concern must be for its
weakest members; (2) that the primary
purpose of Bryn Mawr is the education
of the mind and that other activities are
at best necessary, but unimportant (eating,
sleeping), at worst distracting and dan-
gerous (dates, extra-curric activ-
ities).

In response to the latter, I would
maintain that one of the College’s main

responsibilities is the education of the .

mind, but that if it spends four years
doing only this, it has failed to do what
a good college should and must do in
order to produce truly ‘‘educated’’ women,

Each ofus knows people of high intelligence -
who are so irresponsible-that they need

constant supervision to protect them in
everyday life; There are many bright
,/ people who cannot apply. themselves to
their work because they are still trying
to discover who they are and why indeed










in any but the most intellectual atmos-
pheres because their world is too narrow
for anything but their work, I would
maisitain that these people are not whole,

T think the Parent is wrong to

_of eating, sleeping and studying.

they should work, Finally, there are —
© intelligent “people” who cannot: function:

either,

assume that the college should restrict
students to early hours under close par-
ental supervision, To be an effective
thinker there must be times when one stops
studying to cultivate other interests, Iam
not by any means suggesting that Bryn
Mawr become a “‘party school’’, It isn’t
now, it won’t be if the hours are changed,
One works hard at Bryn Mawr, and how
often one goes out is not afunction of time
made available by rules, but of time made
available by one’s own work schedule,
This time is. spent going out on dates,
working on extra-curricular activities,
talking to friends, or reading a book just
for fun, These activities are essential
to becoming a person: one tries out new
roles, meets different kinds of people,
and takes a break from a contihous round
One
learns not only about the world around one,
but also about oneself, ‘Who am I?’
‘*‘Whom and what do and don’t I like?’
*‘*How do I handle new and alarming
situations?” This is education too, and
education of a particularly important kind,

The second premise, that the College

» should design its rules with the weakest

girl in.mind, is relevant at this point,
Yes, the College has responsibility to
its weakest member, but not to keep her
safe in a womb whose walls are the rules
of the College and the supervision of
‘her parents, The. College’s responsi-
bility is to find ways to help this girl
and her classmates to grow and become
mature young women, able to treat thém-
selves and others in a responsible and
thoughtful manner,

This does NOT mean that I think changing

“the curfew hours forward will by itself

help girls to grow. There have been
girls who could not grow under the present
conditions and who left the school, But
putting the hours back is not the answer
What we need are liberal rules

“ee

. philosophy of life,

. this parent proposes.
eith

allowing each girl to experiment with
her time and energy until she discovers
the optimum arrangement, Along with
this we need much more discussion of
what social and moral responsibilities
are and what we mean by a ‘‘mature’’
woman, We have a lecture on birth
control and one on Freud’s theory of
psycho-sexual development, What we lack
are lectures anddiscussion groups on such
apropos topics as ‘‘What does being
emotionally involved with a boy mean,
and what are ALL its consequences?’
‘How does an adult handle emotions
like anger, shame and guilt??? etc,: that
is, a close consideration of the physical
and mental health of women and how the
college experience can help one achieve
them,

College does help its students to grow,
as many of the papers in Sanford’s ex-
cellent work, THE AMERICAN COLLEGE,
will document, But at its best, it helps
by opening its students to new experiences
in all areas of life: intellectual, political,
social and moral, by forcing them to think
about these experiences, and eventually
to forge them into an effective and mature
None of this can
take place under the kind of restrictions
But little of it
will occur er if dn liberalizing our
rules we do not actively promote thought
and discussion as to why these rules
exist and what we mean when we call
for responsibility to oneself and to the
community.

Judith Chapman, ’67

Compromise

To the Editor:

In the political spectrum ofthis campus,
I suppose that stand somewhere between
the Constitutional Revision Committee and
the parent who wrote last week asking for

stricter rules. Before we condemn her for



her beliefs, I would like to offer a com-
promise position. I am NOT so definitely
opposed to the proposed revisions as I am
to the ATTITUDE of so many in their
asking for them. In the past few days I
have .been constantly impressed by the
increasing demand for more freedom and
the more obvious absence of discussion
of the responsibilities that go with this
freedom. When sailing a boat and one has
the RIGHT-of-way, one also has a cor-
responding DUTY to keep one’s course.

So too, in participating in.self-govern-

ment the college student has a duty to j

ages as well as the advantages. Nosystem
is perfect, and what we have now may be
very imperfect, but before we change it, we
should ask whether we are maintaining
the DESIRABLE SUPPORTS that we want
from that system. Here at Bryn Mawr,
one is left to choose her way, to make her

own decisions, and to find maturity for %

herself.
have too much freedom in this respect,
but that we have not handled ourselves
well in regards to this freedom. In our
tolerance we are refusing to examine
the problems. that arise. Instead of

I am not contending that we ;

of drugs, we either laugh it off as a
problem only ‘‘other dorms’? have, or as
something that the open-minded intellectu-
al should accept without too much thought,

. Why not direct involvement by finding out

why people take drugs or why not helping
them to seek help for their problems? Be--
fore we start jumping into a ‘‘no-hours-
key-system”’ situation why don’t we seri-
ously discuss the implications of this new
freedom, NOT JUST in terms of what we,
as individuals will do, but also how it will

An .article appearing in — the
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGEN-
CER quoted the Rev. Dr. William
Morrison, general secretary’ of
the Presbyterian Board of Chris-
tian Education. ‘I don’t know
why this poem should embarrass
the Defense Department,”’ he said.
‘It was only a little girl speak-
ing’ her concern for little child-
ren.’’ The Reverend added that
the recommendation by the Re-

that the departmentdrop the maga-
zine from its recommended list
‘¢yaises the question: of religious
freedom.”’

The chaplains board each year
draws up a list of religious pub-
lications~recommended for con-
sideration by chaplains at various
installations. ‘‘The list is a ser-
vice to base chaplains and not
a form of censorship,’ the Pen-
tagon stated. ‘‘Many fine religious
publications are not on the recom-
mended list because they do not
fit the requirement applicable to
all faiths.’’

Dr. Morrision maintained, how-
ever, that VENTURE is published
for more than.one denomination.
He is deeply disturbed by what he
considers military censorship of
church publications.

Neatness Counts, Not Skirts

Slacks in the classroom -- if
they are neat -- was the consen-

sus among a’random sampling of me

professors questioned about a pro-
posed change in the dress rule.

Feeling that students are reluc-

tant ‘to wear pants to class in

deference to their instructors, the
COLLEGE NEWS decided to find
out how the professors them-
selves feel about the issue. Neat-
ness, not specific types of clothes,
seems to be the prime considera-
tion, Said Mr. Warner Berthoff,

‘¢] certainly prefer neat skirts

to sloppy pants.’’. But, he added,
he did not really care as long
as the clothes are neat and clean,
Mr. Hugo Schmidt wanted a def-
inition of slacks. ‘“*Fringed blue-
jeans, no.’? ‘Some people shouldn’t
wear slacks under any circum-
stances,’’ was the opinion of Mr.
Lincoln Dryden. Mr. Dryden was

. in favor of retaining the old dress




rule as ‘‘a way of keeping a sort
of dignity in the classroom,’ but
he too thought that neatness was
the most important factor.

Among those professors who are
indifferent to a change in the rule
is Mr.. Peter Bachrach, ‘‘I don’t
care one way or the other,’’ he
said, And Mrs. Catherine Rod-

































gers Myers said, ‘‘if people want
to wear slacks, it seems fine to
.’ To her, it is a question of
personal taste.

A member of the faculty who
preferred to remain anonymous
in her quote asked, ‘‘What does

» the change in the dress rule mean

to the student?’’ In other words,
is it because styles have altered
that they want the dress rule
changed? Or is it a form of re-
bellion, or a feeling that it is
the business of the individual stu-
dent, or do they not want to be
neat? Maybe they want to keep up
with Haverford!

_ Some of the professors pointed
out that Self-Gov cannot legislate
neatness. Thus, would slacks be-
come synonymous with sloppiness
if the dress rule were changed?
If a professor comes neattoclass,
should not the student? Where
does the respect for a professor
leave off, and the personal taste
of a student begin? Many students
will never be neat, whether in a
skirt or in pants, Miss Pauline
Jones provided perhaps the most
succinct comment: ‘I am _ just
not aware of what they are wear-
ing, just so long as their faces
are clean.’',

American groups where there were
going to be Soviet-minded groups,
let us assume that it had to do
this secretly so as not to en-
danger the effectiveness of the
U.S, delegation, and let us assume
that all this is legitimate for the
CIA to attempt. Even so, I con-
tend, the CIA’s financial involve-
ment in various organizations--
particularly student organizations
--operates as a destructive force,
obliterating all that it, as well
as the organization it ‘‘helps,’’
tries to do.

One of the groups listed as a
recipient of undercover funds is
Operation Crossroads Africa, the
group ‘With which I went to Uganda
this past summer, Although I
had been confused by the actual
effect its connection with the CIA
would have on the National Stu-
dent Association, there is little
doubt in my mind as to the effect
such a liason has on an organi-
zation like Crossroads, a group
which every summer sends sev-
eral hundred young Americans and
Canadians to work and live with
Africans on projects that the host
country sets up. The strength
of Crossroads lay in its total
independence from the United
States Government; as a result,
Crossroaders were allowed into
countries or parts of countries
that other groups were not per-
mitted to enter. For example,

- Crossroads has been sending con-

tingents to Egypt for several years
now while the Experiment in In-
ternational Living, which has an
open affiliation with the Peace
Corps and other governmental
agencies, has been denied admit-
tance. x

The nature of Crossroads’
attachment to the CIA is not yet
cléar to me (I am still waiting
for the answer to a letter I wrote
to the Director of Crossroads
questioning him on this), but

whether or not the staff was aware
of the source of its funds is ir-
relevant, African governments
are very sensitive as to who they
let into’ their countries, and the
mere fact that a group has once
been supported by a U.S, agency
may be enough to prevent that
group from being permitted into
one of the new African states for
many years to come. Affirma-
tions of innocence or immediate
curtailment of the contributions
from the CIA may not be able
to remedy the situation; the harm
has already been done, for the
African trust in Crossroads’
claims of independence and in-
tegrity of purpose have been
shaken,

The particular irony of all this
can been seen in the case of the
one of the girls who was in Uganda
with me this past summer. In
her interview for a job with the
National Security Agency, she was
told that because she had gone
on Crossroads she would never
be hired. The logic behind this
was that African governments
might think she had been working
for the Agency all along and that
Crossroads was, therefore, full
of agents. In other words, the
reason was protection of the or-
ganization from attacks that it
was acting as a cover for the
government!

But the possible harm to an
organization in terms of its tasks
is not the only problem with clan-
destine CIA involvement; equally
important is the possible harm
to an organization in terms of
its constituency. Any involve-
ment that Crossroads has with
the CIA affects me and every
other person who has ever been
on the program. We sincerely
thought that we were acting and
speaking independently; instead,
we learn that perhaps we were
not, that perhaps--despite our ig-
norance and innocence--we miay
have been deceiving not only
ourselves but our African coun-
terparts and friends as well. It

UndergradCouncil Abolishes
Required Vote in Elections

by Margaret Edwards
President, Undergrad

The Undergraduate Association
Executive Council has voted on its
constitutional revisions, and its
proposals for changes will go be-
fore the Legislature session for
approval, In the meantime, before
the meeting of Legislature, the stu-
dent. body should be aware of the
constitutional issues at hand, Most
of the changes are not ‘‘issues,”
They involve merely reclarifica-
tion, changes in word order, re-
phrasing, and deletions’ which
amount to little more than general
weeding and pruning,

However, two changes in the







constitution of the Undergraduate
Association are major enough to
deserve the special attention of
the college community since they
will produce a significant change
in the community life, The first
significant change is that reword-
ing which eliminates the required
vote of the students in the gen-
eral campus elections, This change
passed by a slim required two-
thirds majority, ‘‘Each under-
graduate WILL cast one vote”
now reads ‘‘each undergraduate
MAY cast one vote,’? This means
that whereas formerly each stu-
dent was required to return her
ballot either marked with her vote
in preferential order or designated
‘abstain,’? now she does not have
to obtain a ballot or return it or
be in any way involved in thecam-
pus elections if she chooses not to
be,

Advocates of the elimination of
the required vote hope that this
will increase individual respon-
sibility during elections and in-
sure a voting public that will ex-
press true convictions in _ its
choices. . The members of the
Executive Council who opposed
the change felt that the freedom
to abstain was enough to counter-
act any tendency to vote without
knowledge of the candidates and
choices, They also seemed to feel

‘that elimination of the required

vote would estrange many stu-
dents even more from an aware-

is difficult to remain comfor-
table with one’s self when placed
in such a position, and we and
others with us may in the fu-
ture try to avoid ‘such discom- _
fort by refusing to become as--
sociated with ANY group--no
matter how respectable it may

appear.
Citizens often worry about Com-

munist fronts, and particularly _

in the time of McCarthy people
were afraid of joining any group--
no ° matter. how innocent it
seemed--for fear -they. would be
‘«quped’* and discover too late
that they had been working for
some purpose other than the one
they had consented té.° But WHO
does the ‘‘duping’ is not really
important; it is just as fright-
ening to find out that you are
doing something you never agreed
to do for the United States govern-
ment as for the Communist party.

People do not ‘like to deceive
themselves or their friends, and
they do not like to be used with-
out their consent. The CIA’s
actions may cause many _indi-
viduals to have very legitimate
doubts about all organizations
(Even: the YWCA was on the list
of recipients) and be fearful of
joining any.

The CIA might have meant well
by Crossroads; it mightnever have
tried to recruit future agents or
mark out informers--I don’t know.
But I do know that the CIA, inits .
ineptitude and in the under-hand-
edness of its method, may have
destroyed the effectiveness of a
valuable group and the trust of
many people in any organization

_ defferson A irplane, Tim Buckley —
- Create Mass Catharsis in Concert

by ‘suite Meyer |

*sJefferson Airplane Loves You”?
describes most accurately the
mass catharsis in which the Fri-

“day night audience of the Swarth-

more Rock and Roll Festival par-
ticipated, The four-hour long con-
cert was a conscious effort on the
part of rock group Jefferson Air-
plane and singer Tim Buckley that
involved the senses of both sound
and sight. The final result was
some kind of spiritual commun-

-$cation between the‘ audience and -

the. performers, which is the Air-
plane’s defimition of the word
*#love,”?

Before the Airplane’s perfor-

_ mance, Tim Buckley, a non-elec-
' tronic Donovan-type folk singer

with an incredibly beautiful voice
but unimaginative lyrics had al-
ready won over the skeptical
audience with some enjoyable
songs and an obscene comment,
When the Airplane finally ap-
peared, the effect of six figures
silhouetted against the projection
of a red amoeba-like blob pul-
sating in time to the music, and
op. art moire patterns, flanked
on either side by flashing slides
of abstract paintings and wall-
paper prints was enough to startle
me into enjoying the concert, How-
ever, the Airplane didn’t really
start to move until the second
set, in a combined number with
Tim Buckley that must have gone
on for twenty minutes. From then
on the gradual build-up was work-
ing itself into a climax that was
so frenzied people were jumping
into the aisles to dance, and Clo-
thier Hall itself was shaking to the
vibrations of the stomping feet.

All the psychedelic effects and
emotional release were carefully
calculated and directed by the
Airplane and the Swarthmore light-

ing crew. The six members of the ©

it is absorbing. ' Their best num-
bers were the ones in which the
melody was most distinguishable,
such as ‘‘And I Like It,’”? Dono-
‘Pat. Angel,’? the Lovin’
Spoonful’s ‘*There’s Another
Side,”? and ‘‘Tobacco Road’;
otherwise, the rhythms and visual
effects became monotonous,

I wasn’t surprised at the suc-
cess of the Jefferson Airplane’s
performance. However, Tim Buck-
ley, who was billed and received
as the underdog of the program,

completely captured the audience
by the second set. His voice, at
the same time mellow and strong,
was able to captivate the aud-

ience of ardent Rock and -Roll-

fiends in‘ spite of the folk tunes
he sang. The only irritating as-
pect. of his performance was his
commentary between songs, bits
of folk music esoterica which were
‘boring. Despite his lack of fi-
nesse compared to the Jeffer-
son Airplane, Tim Buckley gave
a really exciting performance,

Schlesinger Speaks Out on War;
Asks for Negotiations with NLF

by Cookie Poplin

In his Vietnam speech at Penn
on Feb. 15, Arthur Schlesinger
Jr. ‘emphasized from the beginning
the need for patience and reasoned
analysis, and indeed the rest of
his address was a model of those
two qualities.

The professor explained that
the U.S. has three options in deal-
ing with the Vietnam war. The
first would be immediate with-
drawal, before any negotiations.
He pointed out that such a policy
would have damaging effects on
such countries as Laos, Thailand,
and even Japan. More important,
however, withdrawal would rep-
resent a betrayal of our commit-
ments -- not legal commitments
(the SEATO treaty has never been
interpreted as requiring such in-
tervention) -- but moral commit-
ments. We have made a moral
commitment to those we have en-
couraged to resist; they would be
murdered by the victorious Com-
munists, and the credibility of the
U.S. all over the world would be
damaged. It is not a question of
‘‘saving face’’ --= ‘‘that is one
of the most overrated concepts

in the world,’”? said Schlesinger -

-- but the terrorist activity of the
Vietcong, Ho Chi Minh’s purges
after the takeover in 1954, and the
exacerbation of twenty years of
war leave little doubt that many
loyal South Vietnamese would be
murdered.

“
Another alternative would be
total military victory, ‘‘to bomb
North Vietnam back to the Stone
Age,’’ in the words of one noted
general. In response to. this the
professor pointed out that even
the tremendous quantity of ex-
plosives dumped to date on North
Vietnam have not accomplished
their stated functions: infiltration
has not diminished but increased,
and the will of the North Viet-

namese to resist has stiffened,
on the testimony of Harrison Salis-
bury and various neutral jour-
nalists. In fact, the morale in the:
South is not nearly what it is in
the North. Soviet aid to North
Vietnam has increased, and widen-
ing the war would increase the
risks without significantly im-
proving the results. The chances
of Russian or Chinese interven-
tion would be increased: Russia
cannot permit ‘‘American imper-
ialists’’ to destroy a Communist
country, and the turmoil in China
will not last forever. Eventually
one faction will come out on top
and a war against external ag-
gression is a classic way to re-
unite a divided country. Finally,
winning the war through bombing
is a ‘‘tragic fallacy’? because the

' war is in South Vietnam, not North

Vietnam. Total victory would re-
quire a long painful costly ground
war; the Communists could be
beaten. only village by village,
man by man. A war like this
would completely devastate Viet-
nam and the only ones who could
profit in the end would be the
Communists. Thus ‘total vic-
tory is illusory.’’

Our third option in the war,
the one chosen by the Govern-
ment and ‘‘the moderate oppo-
sition’? (that is, Schlesinger) is
the search for a negotiated set-
tlement.and withdrawal with hon-
or. The Administration feels that
the war in Vietnam .is part of a
premeditated, co-ordinated and
systematic plan of Chinese ag-
gression not unlike the designs
of Hitler in the °’30’s and Stalin
in the °40’s. The Viet Cong is
the spearhead of this movement
and the ‘‘war of national libera-
tion’’ is the technique. If we stand
firm against the Chinese, similar
wars will not break out else-
where; if we appease them, we will
stimulate more aggression -- the
obvious: parallel is Munich. Thus
a bombing pause now would be a
grave error, an indication that
we are weakening -and that all

they have to do is hold on. A
negotiated settlement will come
about only when pressure is in-
tensified, and the present ‘peace
signals’’ are a vindication of the’
bombing. For this reason the Ad-
ministration will continue and
possibly intensify the bombing.

The ‘‘moderate opposition,’’ on
the other hand, opposes widening
the war. Schlesinger would deny
that Asian Communism is a uni-
fied, monolithic force. Though this
was ‘undoubtedly the case in the
early thirties and forties, the split
between Russia and China marks
the end of the universalism of
Communist ideology and discip-
line, the disappearance of a single
sole center of authority. The ex-
tension of Communism no longer

‘ automatically means the extension

of Soviet or Chinese power. The
growing independence of the East-
ern European ‘satellite’? coun-
tries indicates this trend. The
Viet Cong, Hanoi and Peking are
not identical: they have interests
in common but they also have in-
terests apart. There is- in Viet-
nam a traditional hostility towards
the Chinese, and before assum-
ing his present position, Ho Chi
Minh was a Soviet agent. Possi-
bly he is taking advantage of in-

‘ternal Chinese turmoil to send

forth independently his ‘‘peace
feelers.’’

Chinese Domination

Even if the Chinese were largely
responsible for the war in Viet-
nam, Schlesinger questioned _ the
possibility of containing China
militarily. The most successful
resistance to Chinese expansion
has come from the nationalism of
emerging states, in Africa and
more spectacularly in Indonesia
and North Korea. North Korea
would not exist except for the aid
of China, could be overrun by
China at any time, and yet has
vigorously reqinyed Chinese dom-
ination. os

Cynical Critic

To the Editor:

I was appalled to find Mr. Demp-
sey’s review of the FreshmanShow
falling into the pattern of that of
the Typical Cynical Critic. Com-
pliments were sprinkled with a
light hand only after a sharp open-
ing blow, while unfavorable criti-
cism was. scattered with gusto.
Iam referring in particular to his
remarks concerning Prudy Crow-
ther’s portrayal of Leonard. Hav-
ing deigned to mention that it
is indeed difficult for a girl to
portray a boy, he nevertheless
proceeded with a methodical dis-
section of her performance. I
would like to submit, for con-
trast, a remark overheard at re-
hearsal With regard to the ‘‘love
scene’: ‘It?s so good; you al-
most forget she’s a girl.’’

I found particularly interesting
in this, and in Marcia Ringel’s
review, also, the demand for more
dynamism from perhaps the least
dynamic hero ever seen upon a
stage, The criticism of the hippies
as “having lost their cool at the
opening curtain’’ also seemed to
me to be more of a compliment
than a slur, since, as far as I
am concerned, these hippies were
definitely anything but (hip), .
--T-am-arguing less with WHAT
was said than with the MANNER
in which it. was said. If it is an

* overestimation to say that Prudy

Crowther’s interpretation of Leo-
nard embodied the spirit of the
show, certainly Mr. Dempsey’s
‘review is equally an underestima-
tion. Since he did not bother to
mention the great strain under
which the show was produced, I
am assuming that he was not tak-
ing into consideration the fact that
this was strictly an amateur pro-
duction. 3
Viewing it as such, I believe
that whether or not the members
of the cast, Prudy Crowther in
particular, fully realized the char-
acters they portrayed, (though I
believe they did) the result was
hardly disastrous. Rather, at’ the
risk of being a little insidiously
verbose, I think I can say that
Leonard has become someone
pretty special, to the Freshmen,
at least, and, whatever its techni-
cal difficulties, ‘‘Too Far to
Think’? appeared on stage to be
exactly what it was: himorous,
touching; a labor of love of the
Freshman Class. In my opinion,
that makes it a success.

|Ale Tale
To the Editor:

We would like to describe to the
readers of THE COLLEGE NEWS
an incident-that occurred last Sat-
urday evening at the Bryn Mawr
Ale House, 656 Lancaster Avenue,

Our ‘party of four seated our-
selves in. the restaurant section,
When a waitress approached and
PLOPPED her order pad down on
our table-as if to take our order,
one of the toys. asked if we might
see .some menus, She replied,
**You’re not seeing anything until
I see some cards,’’

In spite of her rudeness, we all
produced identification--the Liq-
uor. Control Board card of one of
the girls; the passport of the
other; the military identification
‘card of one of the boys; and a
string of identification including
driver’s license, voter registration
card, and draft card (all that is
needed to get an L.C.B. card) of
the other boy. All of this was ac-
ceptable to the waitress except that
of the second boy, He is almost 25
years old, a legal resident of Nl-
linois, and a doctoral candidate at
Princeton University.

He could not reasonably be ex-
pected to -have a Pennsylvania
L,C.B, card for one evening; and
he has previously purchased liquor
without any problem even from the
Bryn Mawr State Store, But the
waitress continued loudly to de-
mand something else, Her bel-
ligerent attitude might have been
more understandable if she had
suspected that either of the girls
were underage, but we had both
proved--to HER satisfaction--that
we are 21, We were forced by her
behavior to get up and leave and
go to another tavern where our
identification was requested quietly
and politely,

Such rudeness is shocking at any
‘time, but it is particularly un-
fortunate that this incident oc-
curred to a visitor from out-of-
state. We hope that you will join
us in refusing to support any es-

tablishment that is sodiscourteous,. -

te

ly to acquire either of these
innovations in the-near future, the
committee proposed ~an_ al-
ternative:
each class would eat together once
a month in Pembroke or Erdman,
the largest dorms.

This idea: was approved by the
class presidents and passed un-
animously by Undergrad. The
plan was implemented with theen-
thusiastic support of Frank
Daile of Saga, Miss Wright and
Miss Grey, and the hall managers
of Pembroke and Erdman,

The first class lunches - Sen-
iors and Sophomores - were
held last Friday. Freshmen and
Juniors in Pembroke and Erdman
had agreed to eat in other halls,
and we would like to thank them for
the spirit in which they cooperated.
We would also like to commend the
Sophomores for their cooperation
and their willingness to try some-
thing new. Unfortunately, the

same cannot be said for the

Seniors, While approximately 170
out of 218 Sophomores managed
to find their way to Erdman, only
60 Seniors out of 156 arrived at
Pembroke, leaving six set tables
empty.

This is not a large campus: how
much effort does it take to walk
from one dorm to another? Ob-
viously it takes a great deal
of effort to break out of the
routine which people seem to feel
is so dull. Most Sophomores made
an attempt; most Seniors did
not. Bryn Mawr is .small enough
so that one could feasibly know
her whole class, but which senior

will recognize all her classmates

at graduation?

If this college is dull, it is
likely to remain so, as long as
students do not even show enough
imagination to try one simple way
of changing the status. quo, and
perhaps enlivening the campus.

The Juniors and Freshmen will
have their lunches next week. (Fri-
day, March 2) If they show
no interest, the Educational Goals
Curriculum Committee will
recommend to Undergrad that the
lunches be discontinued,

Se ee Boge :
Schlesinger... ©
(Continued from page 4)
_ Professor Schlesinger feels that
_ the war in Vietnam is a local war.
not prevent the outbreak of others,
which depend on local conditions,
not on Peking. Thus our present
nethods won’t win the war, and
re is- enough at stake to
“nha ‘ing another half a mil-
on men into Vietnam. The more
we do, the less Saigon does, The
- more we Americanize the war, the
_Jess-chance we will have to bring
_ the war to a reasonable conclu-
sion. We are in fact stifling the
~ forces of local nationalism which
are the best means of restraining
Chinese Communism.

* §Schlesinger counted the cost
of ‘“‘our obsession” with the war:
the reduction of the Great So-
ciety to little more than a token
program, the neglect of the prob-
lems of our cities, civil rights,
education; the divisive debate
throughout the country, the threat
of McCarthyism. In addition, we
are -alienating allies, and neglect-
ing the countries in Latin Amer-
ica and Western Europe which
‘are more important to us.

Thus Schlesinger demanded that
we follow a ‘‘holding course’”’
in Vietnam. We have enough
soldiers to create a military
stalemate, to convince the Com-
munists that they can’t win. We
must stop bombing: it cannot win
the war and only toughens Hanoi.
We should support efforts for a
broadly based civilian government,
possibly in relation to the Con-
stituent Assembly, and if it should
wish to negotiate with the Viet
Cong or release us, we should go
along. The U.S. should come out
clearly for the neutralization of
all states in Southeast Asia, a
removal of all foreign forces
guaranteed by the UN.

Schlesinger does not regard a
government which includes the VC
as the end of the world. He cited /
the history of the Pathet Lao, the
Laotian Communists. They were
part of the neutralist government
set up in Geneva. Later, when
they failed to take over the gov-
ernment by a coup, they broke
with the government and lost the
support of many nationalist mem-
bers. Eventually they returned to
the government but in a greatly
weakened position. The same could
happen to the Viet Cong.

‘“‘There is NEVER a right time
to negotiate,”” says Schlesinger.
Peace signals from Hanoi shouldn’t
be regarded as confessions of
weakness; instead we should at-
test the authenticity and restore
our own moral position by halt-
ing the bombing. If then we should
be forced to start again, the re-
sponsibility will lie clearly with

~ Hanoi. The Administration should
cease to regard itselfas the Savior

of Asia. As Kennedy said, ‘‘There
can’t be an American solution to
every world problem’? and we
should not try to substitute our

Summer Research Support

~ Summer reséarch grants of
$600 to finance an eight-week re-
search project in the field
of public affairs will be available
to prospective seniors.
. Honors students planning pro-
jects in any area related

to ‘public affairs, governmentand ©

political processes and public po-
licies” are eligible for the
grants. All applicants will be ex-
pected to have had some
training in the social sciences.

The purpose of the program,
established in 1960, is to encour-
age greater interest and com-
petence in public affairs by

- giving selected seniors additional

intensive research experience plus
close supervision by faculty.
Following the summer research
program, grantees meet at least:
twice during their senior year
with the faculty committee for
critical review and guidance in

their honors projects. Research
awards allow students to extend
both the scope and depth of their
projects well beyond what can be
done within an academic year. The
$600. stipends may be used en-
tirely. at the grantee’s dis-
cretion as long as they serve
the purposes of the approved
subjects. .

Each applicant first plans her
project with her advisor, then
submits a prospectus of the pro-
ject with her, application to
the faculty committee in charge of
the program. Applications are due
by April 3. Late applications will
be accepted until April 24.

Interested students should
consult their department chairmen
and Mr. Kennedy in the Political
Science Department, chairman of
the faculty committee, regarding
application details.

‘Audience Will Begin To “Feel Like A Nut,”

Says Peter Brook, Director of “Marat/Sade”

by Marcia Ringel
Peter Brook, British director

of the soon to be released full-

length film of Peter Weiss’ con-

troversial ‘‘Marat/Sade,’’ spoke

‘and held a press conference at

_ the Annenberg School of Com-

munications at the . University
of Pennsylvania last Friday after-
noon. Mr. Brook has_ been

stage productions of ‘‘Marat/
Sade” and of the ‘film “Lord
of the Flies.”” an

Peter Brook has
face, light wispy hair, a broad
brown and blue paisley tie,
and a calm, engaging manner.
He arrived some minutes late
at the podium, having been in
Washington the previous day and
at Villanova earlier Friday, and
asked for questions from the au-
dience.

Before we present the gist of
his comments, it will be helpful
to present the gist of ‘“Marat/
Sade.” ‘*The Persecution and
Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat
as Performed by the Inmates
of the«-Asylum of Charenton under
the Direction of the Marquis de
Sade,”’ originally in German, com-

Osophical opposition to Marat
balances the play on an unsteady
fulcrum. Historically, Marat was
indeed murdered during the French
Revolution and de Sade did indeed
write psychodramas for asylum
performance, but the juxtaposition
of the two men is Weiss’ own
invention.

_ The first question posed to Brook
was concerned with maintaining
the impact of so stirring 2 play
in the objectifying medium of film.
Brook answered with a com-
parison of theater and cinema.’
* loosest word,’’ including every-
thing from $4 > barn?’ to
‘tthe Met, with chandeliers and
everybody dressed up.’’? What the
camera does best, on the other
hand, is ‘*sweeping the world, being
mobile,”” The two most interest-
ing films Brook has_ ever
seen, he said, were taken inside
a volcano and, a camera having
been intentionally swallowed, in-
side a human body. Brook noted

the similarity of the two films

in their ‘feeling of enormous
scale’’ and even in their visual
images: ‘‘shot for shot, the same
proportion, the same color.’

In order to get closest to the
action of ‘‘Marat/Sade,’’ ‘‘the
technique of ‘filming a play’ was

»d out. What was interesting was
to find; bit by bit, ways

be eeskoe we action down into

all ‘its details.” This de-
: epicure

‘shooting fast often let Brook’s

cast, the same 41 members of
the Royal Shakespeare Company
who performed the play both here
and in England, make action ‘‘more
intense and also more clear than
the same action performed in the
show.”?

The Second wadedioner wondered
how a film might engage its au-
dience as deeply as, for ex-
ample, a_ theater-in-the-round
performance, Brook noted that
movies in their early history flash-
ed images off the
much as an eye moves, encourag-
ing complete identification with
the action. The advent of color
film made pictures more #emote

by catching the eye’s at-
tention in random’ places,
Furthermore, shots were being

held longer and screens were be-
ing made bigger. As a result
it is now possible ‘to play either
way’’ in film. Hitchcock, Brook
continued, focuses the spectator’s
attention for him, IS _ his
eye. Goddard ‘‘and his imitators’?’
(including ‘The Knack’? and Beatle
movie director Richard Lester),
close to Brecht, say, ‘‘This is
no window on life; this .s a screen
reflecting lantern’ slides. In
‘¢Marat/Sade,”’? ‘‘the language
we use is_ continually con-
tradictory.”’ You begin to
‘‘feel like a nut,’ then are startled
into realizing that you are merely
watching a performance,

A word here about the impact
of ‘‘Marat/Sade’’ upon the play-
goer. In the opening moments
a family of French aristocrats
are shown to their seats in the
asylum; they are to watch the
inmates’ performance, Parts of
the dialogue are distasteful
to them. They complain to de

‘Sade that these parts were sup-

posed __ to __ have -_been cut,
Thus there is 4 play-within-a-
play-within-a-play; we watch aris-
tocrats; who watch de Sade,
who watches them and madmen,
and madmen; who watch them and
us and who are performing, as
well, Furthermore, the musicians
are dressed as inmates, and
in the New York production actually

“sat and played in the-balcony. NO

one knows precisely who is mad
and who, if anyone, is not.

If movie production is in bits
and pieces, asked, someone, how
did the actors retain their mood?
Two things in film making, re-
plied .Brook, are fundamental

but unfortunately rare: unlimited

film stock and the same rhythm
for everyone involved. ‘‘What is
terrible and demoralizing,’’ he
mourned, is that ‘‘involvement
stops when lights and cameras take
over.’? Thus a theater rehearsal
day is richer than a filming day.
Brook fought this by haVing the
entire film prelighted. Once film-
ing had begun, ‘‘not one
single change was made ina single
lamp.”? In the relatively very few
17 ~=— days of shooting, two
cameras working nonstop used
100,000 “feet of film, an amount
ordinarily used in ten weeks ‘‘--
a sort of nightmare, yet it was
thrilling for everyone,’’

It was 9 p.m. the last day of
shooting; the studio had to be
cleared by midnight. Brook had
planned a party, but there was
time only to drink as much liquor
as one could in ten minutes. Then
he told the actors that they were
about ‘to play the last scene (in
which the inmates go wild) for
the last time in three’ years, and
to do with the set whatever they
wanted. ‘‘What followed,’’ Brook
laughed, ‘‘was a three-hour hap-
pening. They ‘hosed the set
with fire hoses; using the bath
as a battering ram, they smashed
the walls; they set fire to their
costumes, broke all the woodwork,
and smashed the props.’ When

screen |

‘Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton.

the actor playing Duperret started
to rape a nun, one cameraman
‘rushed round in a circle, shout-
ing, ‘Go go gol’” -- then dived
into a bathtub. Brook snatched
his camera and used it himself,
fearing to lose even a moment
of the action, until the technician

- could control himself, Only nine

or ten minutes of the uproar can
be used, but Brook offered, ‘if
‘you ever want to see three hours
of the wildest anti-Andy Warhol
movie ...”?

In discussing actors’ special
preparation for the play, Brook
revealed his respect for the in-
dividual actor as an intelligent
artist, Told on the very first day
of rehearsal to ‘play mad,’ the
actors realized immediately that
they hardly knew what the com-
mand meant. First, through
many- techniques;
provisation, each actor broke
through cliches ‘away intohis own
madness;” each representation
was the actor’s ‘‘deepest choice,
which really is his own potentiality
of; madness.’’ Second, as ‘‘Marat/
Sade” is “a dialectical play
with political content”’ (it has been
called Marxist by Weiss himself,
according to Brook’s introduction
to the Atheneum edition), the actors
found ‘‘a: quite different line of
work having an intellectual grasp”

of the Revolutionary proceedings

of 1808. Finally, ‘‘physical
preparation for songs and actions’’
was necessary. ‘*The actors must
be ready for all levels,’ asserted
Brook,

Following his talk, Brook held
a college newspaper press con-
ference ~.downstairs while in
the auditorium™=the rest of the
audience watched a _ 17-minute
film, ‘Efforts to Provoke,” which
publicizes ‘‘Marat/Sade.” (After
the conference there was a special
press showing of ‘‘Efforts to Pro-
voke,’? which may soon be
offered free for showing at Bryn
Mawr and other colleges.)

‘‘Marat/Sade’’ was filmed. in
color because United Artists,
its source of funds, insisted upon
it. Brook would have preferred
black and white, he said. The
company formed especially for the
production,

will film ‘‘King Lear’’ soon, Brook
hopes to make its color ‘‘so harsh
that it is appropriate,’’

By heading his own company,
Brook was able to perform such
movie-industry miracles as the
fantastic amount of film stock,
the prelighting, direct shooting
(i.e., not prerecording any songs),
and not having a screenplay. Since
the cast had already performed
the play for three years, they
and Brook simply improvised on
film as they had improvised in
recording the play.

Brook told his actors not to
visit asylums, for a technical
reason, Being sensitive by nature,
he said, actors are likely to pick
up everything they see and be
deprived of forming their own
interpretations of character. That
is why a director should never do

~-an-~-aector*s —line--for --him, -least

the actor unconsciously imitate
him and lose the line. forever.
Brook always paraphrases the line
or says it wrong: ‘‘Start from,
‘To be, or, um, sort of
not being ....’’? The. better the
actor, however, the less likely he
is to be influenced by observing
madness,

‘Efforts to Provoke’ is,
appropriately, a film within afilm,

markable close closeups during
