College Mails 394 Acceptances
To Prospective Class Of 1969

“Acceptances for the Class of
1969 at Bryn Mawr were sent out

‘this week. Partly because of new

space in Erdman, the class will be
bigger than ever before; but more
significant, the Admissions Office
feels, is the increased number of
students who will hold scholar-
ships, and the increased number of
Negro students.

Out of 946 applicants, about a
hundred more than last year, the
College has sent out 394 accep-.
tances, aiming for a freshman
class of about 230. Not included in

‘these figures area small number

of non-resident students. Of the
394, 56 were accepted onthe Early
Decision Plan, nine more than last
year, an increase proportional to
the increase in size of the entire
class.

Seventy-five of those accepted
have been awarded scholarships or
loans, but Mrs. T, RobertS,
Broughton, Director of Admis-
sions, stresses that 46% of the
students accepted applied for
scholarships, compared with only
40% last year. Many of the scholar-
ships awarded are proportionally
large ones.

Through Bryn Mawr’s affiliation
with the Cooperative Program for
Educational Opportunity, an agency
sponsored by the Ivy League and
the Seven College Conference, and
with the National Scholarship Serv-
ive and Fund for Negro Students,
there has been a large increase in
Negro applicants, 17 of whom have
been offered admission, many with
scholarships.

In addition to a larger freshman
class, the College plans to admita
number of transfer students -- and
not only former Bryn Mawrters
who-have taken a year or more off.
This has not been possible recent-
ly because of limited space, al-
though the College once regularly
admitted 12 to 15transfer students
a year. Mrs. Broughton feels that
transfer students, who fill up the
spaces left vacant in a class, are

also quite valuable to the College

as a whole, and is eager to return
to the former policy with the help
of Erdman space.

Several foreign students, whose
applications are being considered
now, will also be admitted next

~year. Among definitely accepted «
foreign students are several from

Mexico and South America; one
African student has been offered
a scholarship here through ASPAU,
an American scholarship agency
for African,.students, but whether
she will come or not is uncertain.

May Day Revelers to Celebrate
In the Early Mists of Morning

Plans for May Day, in its tra-
ditional and social aspects, were
presented at Monday night’s Un-
dergrad meeting by President Pop-
ie Johns.

The festivities will begin at 5:15
a.m., April 30, when the sopho-
mores sing their waking song. Then
after visiting Miss McBride’s
house, the seniors will gather at
Rock Tower for the coronation of-
the May Queen, whois senior class
president Genie Ladner.

At 7:15 breakfast will be served
in the halls and coffee and dough-
nuts in the Common Room for the
Haverford Fife and Drum Corps,
which will have played here during
the morning.

After breakfast, the underclass-
men will line up at Pem Arch while
the seniors get ready to dance
around the five maypoles.set upon
Merion Green. Miss McBride, who
will be next to one of the poles,
will give a short speech, as will
the May Queen. At 8:30 the Pem
East juniors will present their
‘¢Pageant.”?

Next, the entire student body
(the seniors having their hoops)
will assemble in Goodhart for a
short sing, and for the distribution
of the-academic awards. Then, ac-
companied by more singing, the

Quintet Awarded Funds.

For Summer Research

Five juniors have received
grants for summer research in
public affairs, through two grants
administered by the college. One
of the grants is a gift from the
Ford Foundation.

The five are Elizabeth Colby
and Eve Hitchman, both of whom!
will be working in political science;
Liesa Stamm, _ anthropology;
Marilyn Craft, sociology, and Me-
lissa McCarty, history, With the
money, they will start their honors
programs this summer, between,
their junior and senior years.
Some wil] largely do library re-
search, while others, such as Lie-
sa, will be working in the field.

The program is designed ’to
further research ‘relevant to pub-
lic policy,’’ according to Mr.
Eugene Schneider, chairman of
the committee of professors which

‘judges the students’ applications.

James Umstattd
Of Birch Society
To Speak May 3

Among the diverse opinions to
which Mawrters will have exposure
in up and coming lectures is that
of a John Birch Society member,
Mr. James Umstattd, an architect
making his home on the Main Line.
Umstadd, a chapter leader, will
be- speaking on **The John Birch
Society, Why It Exists,’’ May 3
in the Common Room. :

The Conservative Club, whichis
sponsoring himy does not neces-
sarily endorse Society policies,

but has invited Umstattd in an at- .

tempt to encourage diversities of
opinion on campus and let students
hear about the Society’s aims and
beliefs from a member instead
somewhat hazy reporters.

Mr. Schneider is a member of the
Sociology Department here. One
professor, recompensed by part
of the grant, will direct each thesis.

Students are selected who the
committee feels have ‘‘tools to
carry out the thesis, andthe proper
technique’’ which Mr. Schneider
calls simply ‘‘intelligence.’’

Deanery to Open

To Undergraduates

On Friday Nights

Mawrters seeking refuge from
Friday fare will find a new haven
in the Deanery, which will be open
to all undergraduates on Friday
nights after May 1.

The Deanery Management Com-
mittee, working with Self-Gov and

with the Deans’ offices, has decided

to try this plan for the remainder
of the year. Deanery dress rules,
will still apply on Friday nights--
that is, students will be required
to wear skirts.

Students using the\Deanery and /
interested in its history will also
be able to buy a history of the
Deanery shortly after the beginning
of May. The book, which has been
in preparation for the last /two
years, was written by Ruth Levy
Merriam of the class of /1931.
Twenty-five pictures, both old and
modern, will be ee in the
book, which will be on/sale in
the Deanery for one ns







___DON’T FORGET! :
Book Sale continues in the
gym until 4 p.m; /Friday.







‘ Committee,

hoops will*be rolled down Senior
Row. Later in the day, there will
be more dancing on MerionGreen,
and under consideration are either
a step sing or a play by the Col-
lege Theater.

Events of the weekend will con-
tinue with a boat ride down the
Delaware Friday evening. After the

‘boat ride Applebee Barn will be

open for Bryn Mawr students and
their dates. There will be food and

fire until 2 a.m.

Saturday’s schedule is still ten-
tative, with various sports events
at Haverford and a picnic at Batten
House in the planning stages, Sat-
urday night will feature Fats Dom-
ino at the Haverford’Field House.
Because the program will beinthe

against wearing long dresses, but
are encouraged to be as fancy as
they like, up to formals.

Sel-Gov Poll Sounds Opinion
On Rhoads, Erdman Smoking

by Allie McDowell,
Self-Gov President

At the beginning of next week
Self Gov. is submitting a poll to
the ‘campus on smoking in the
rooms in Rhoads and Erdman
in view of their ‘‘fire-resistant’’ .

Faculty’s Oddities

To Go On Block
In Charity Drive

This year’s Campus Fund Drive
will spotlight Mrs. Marshall’s tal-
ents as auctioneer on May 1 when

"66

.

she will sell bits and pieces of the ,

faculty’s memoribilia.
The sale was a former feature

of the Sophomore Carnival, but .

this year the procedes will go to
charity rather than the’ sophomore
class, According to Eve Hitchman,
vice president of League, every
faculty member has been contacted
and asked if he or she would con-
tribute something that relates in
some way to his or her/work or
hobbies -- manuscripts and origin-
al art, for example. Mrs, Marshall
has also promised to give ‘‘some-
thing--funny’’ but it ‘won’t. be re-
vealed until the afternoon of the
auction,

The auction is to take place
outside Taylor at 2:00 if the wea-
ther is good, and if not, an alter-
native spot will be announced, The
auction is the culmination of the
yearly Fund Drive which will start
Monday, April 26. At that time,
League reps in each hall will
distribute pledge sheets for dona-
tions to/the ten selected charities.
Write-ins are also accepted, but
the Léague board at an open meet-
ing has chosen ten charities which
it feels are diversified enough to
please almost every student.

The pledge sheets will also have
explanations of what each of these
ten do: American Friends Service
‘World University
Service, National Scholarship Fund
for Negro Students, Childrens’ Vil-
lage, American Cancer Society,
American Mental Health Associa-
tion, Ship HOPE, Save the Children

Federation, National Association

for Retarded Children, and Migrant
Workers,

In previous years, the total dona-
tions have averaged around $700,
The feeling of League is that the
campus is capable of contributing
quite a bit more. This increase
would come as a matter of course
if participation were more cam-
pus-wide, With publicity and sun-
shine, this year’s Campus Fund
Drive should show that increase
and the charities will receive more
this year than ever before.

construction. There will be
separate polls for the campus
and for the residents and future
residents of Rhoads and Erdman.
If a change in the smoking rule is
requested, a proposal for the
change will have to be approved id
the Board of Trustees.

The Executive Board of Self-
Gov urges that students seriously
consider all aspects of a change in
the rule, Hall Presidents, after a
joint Advisory Board-Executiye
Board meeting on Tuesday night,
are fully prepared to answer any
questions you may have.

The smoking rule in so far as it s =

pertains to the up-keep and safety
of the dormitories is an admin-
istrative rule, but the enforce-
ment of the rule falls under the
honor system of Self-Gov. A change
in the rule, therefore, concerns not
only a convenience in the two halls
which a majority of the campus and
of the residents in Rhoads and
Erdman considers necessary, but
the immediate physical. safety of
those irdividuals,

In writing out the polls students
are encouraged to comment on
their decisions, Non-smokers
should not support the rule change
simply because they do not want to
deprive their friends of a new
freedom, but should make thought-
ful personal decisions.

The March

In the middle of April, 150,000 Americans were in the middle of
March, And they weren’t behind the times--they were ahead of the
game, so to speak, at least in the sense of achieving their purpose.

The March on Washington last Saturday was the crescendo of recent
demonstrations to end the war in .Vietnam. The U.S, policy in that
country is not clearly defined; it has the tendency to mean all things
to all people in the course of its contradictions, But that the war there
means so much to so many is nothing to ignore. What the march will
accomplish in the long run remains to be seen; what it accomplished
immediately is at least a civil cognizance of its protest, if not a
governmental awareness of its support.

Forward, march,

Smoking

As students at long last prepare to move into Erdman, an old com-
plaint has achieved a new status. With the completion of the new dorm,
two of the residence halls will be ‘‘fireproof’’ buildings, in which
smoking in all rooms is at least feasible, even if it proves not to be
practical,

The primary reason for approving smoking in Erdman and Rhoads
is simply one of convenience. Many smokers like to smoke while
studying and this can now be done only in dorm smokers, which have
a tendency to become crowded and noisy (even the ‘‘silent’’ ones).
Designed primarily for social use, smokers are often ill-lighted and
ill-equipped for study purposes. And studiers asking quiet often
disturb those who use the smokers as a place to relax.

For the smoker, then, the’ only alternatives are to try to concen-
trate in a smoker, or to study inher room, taking breaks which destroy
her concentration to go downstairs for a cigarette.

For the nonsmoker, it seems unlikely that smoke in her neighbor’s
room would be unduly disturbing, as long as enough care were taken
that she need not worry about fire. It also seems unlikely that every
smoker on campus would immediately try to move into Erdman and
Rhoads,or that every nonsmoker would flee to another hall.

If, then, insurance arrangements can be satisfactorily made, the
NEWS stands in favor of permitting smoking in non-public rooms in

rdman and Rhoads. Such approval, of course, is predicated upon
the assumption that sufficient care will be taken by individual students
and by the dorms concerned to insure no increase in the danger of
fire in the two halls.

. Timely

As the semester wends its weary way toward the end, we take up
a familiar biannual plaint. This is the time when we would appreciate
the appearance. of the exam schedule. Only three weeks of classes
remain, and a concrete reminder of the imminent reckoning would
be an invaluable help in end of term planning.

Self-scheduled. exams have once again been drowned in the wind,
and as May arrives’ we resign ourselves to a uniform schedule, Time
is precious now. A rush of early finals may well demand extra ef-
ficiency during the semester; a late program may mean a breathing

space between papers and exams, With no information, we will all hope .

for the best - and that might be disastrous for some.

To many students, the last exam means the day of departure. Those
who must make airplane reservations deserve to know when they can
leave in time to secure convenient transportation, Others - especially
freshmen asked to leave soon after their last final - must make arrange-
ments with parents for the trek home.

The emergence of exam schedule is always a solemn moment. It
serves as a sign that little remains before work and plans must be
concluded, Our personal schedules depend upon our exams- we deserve
the chance to close the year in a burst of orderly existence.

| LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

~ The March

To the Editor:

While I am still enjoying the
spirit of Saturday’s March on
Washington I hasten to write.a
personal description of the trip.

I reached the Common Room
at 6:45, sleepy, uncommunicative,

had I felt so at home with the
name American, I had joined my
friends to meet thousands of others
like ourselves; we had peacefully
assembled to petition our govern-.
ment for the redress of grievances,
Stephen Pepper

Instructor,

History of Art

and a little uncertain as to what .

I was about to embark upon. We
began to board the busses at 7:15,
and this operation, so vulnerable
to confusion passed smoothly. We
could not settle down for the long
trip until the Haverford stop was
behind us. Once .the trip began
we occasionally sang, and engaged
in political discussion, but mostly
the time was passed in napping,
and in random conversation.
When we reached the New Jer-.
sey Thruway and at last joined
the main North-South traffic we
noticed other busses carrying par-
ticipants to the march. But it was
not until we had stopped for a
coffee break that we realized
what was underway. The entire

“ cafeteria was ‘filled with student

participants shouting greetings,
passing out literature, and de-
vouring hot dogs. When we were

“on the road again Vicki May sud-

denly ‘shouted ‘‘look behind.’’ We
all looked around and there we
Saw a caravan of .our busses

hidden by a curve of the road.
As we rolled into Washington we
felt the parade had started on the
highway. :

We disembarked on the mall
before the Washington Monument
for we had, apparently, arrived
too late to picket the White House.
Our group soon became lost in
the stream of people heading for
the obelisk.

The speeches were, in the main,
fine. I, F. Stone was given a
rousing greeting. He admonished
youth for putting down liberals
for he said he knew our fathers,
and even our grandfathers, when
they too had been more militant
than liberal, and many of them

were now attacking from the right, 70 the Editor:

Objectivity

To the Editor:

It is our understanding that
democracy represents full atten-
tion to all sides of-an argument
before a position is taken, Two
weeks ago a man spoke at Haver-
ford supporting the United States
policy in Viet-Nam; he was the
first representative of the State
Department to speak on either
campus. There was a blatant lack
of Bryn Mawr interest; notably
lacking were the members of the
SAC and SDS nuclei at Bryn Mawr
and other students who have overt-
ly supported the SDS. position.
Our confidence in Bryn Mawr ob-
jectivity had led us to expect that
a large percentage of the marchers
already committed to protest of
government policy would have in-
formed themselves of the govern-
ment’s position.

If these students are really.

working to build a democratic
society, shouldn’t they examine
the government’s position as
intensely as they proclaim their
own? If students from this group
still consider themselves dedi-
cated to objectivity and a demo-
cratic approach, materials pre-
senting State Department policies

‘are now available (free) in Taylor

Hall. ‘

Ire-onic? ~—:
To the Editor: th

I should like to clarify a situa-
tion which has arisen over an
article which appeared in the’
COLLEGE NEWS of April 9, 1965,
concerning the resignation of Joe
Eyer, Haverford’s Council presi-
dent, and a letter in the NEWS
of April 16, 1965, objecting to
the journalistic treatment which
this issue received.

First, I should like to point
out. that the article in question
was bylined and therefore téech-
nically and correctly could con-
*opinion.’® Secondly, the
*tadequate objective news cover-
age’’ requested by Miss Shapiro
in her letter was, I feel, implicit
in the article. At.publication dead-
line, the facts of the issue stood
as reported. And certainly, my
attempts at parable were not in-
tended to malign the individuals
concerned.

It seemed to me then, as now,
that the unprecedented resignation
was an unfortunate event.

In_ conclusion, I do not feel
that the NEWS displayed ‘‘a-lack
of integrity in its responsibility
to its readers.’’ The issue was so
charged with emotion that ‘‘ob-
jective’’ coverage was a veritable
impossibility. The HAVERFORD
NEWS article was by-lined also.

The spirit in which the article
was written, incidentally, ‘has been
subsequently echoed by editorial
commentary in both the Haverford
and Bryn Mawr NEWS, In writing
about ire and Eyer, I intended
only that judgment be withheld
until after the hue and cry. Joe
Eyer’s decision to resign was un-
fortunate. The fact that my article
was misread is unfortunate also.

“Once upon a time, the COL-
LEGE NEWS was a better news-
paper.’’ In my opinion it still is.

Margery Aronson, ’65

Purpose

To the Editor: ;
Your editorial on the Committee
of. 39 indicates that you do not
fully understand the purpose of
the Committee. The Committee
is purely functional, and its rep-
resentatives serve as information
gatherers. It has no powers of
decision, and its only attempt at
discussion will be to illuminate
to its members the issues which
are to be presented to their con-
Stituencies. The members of the
Committee will hand in written
reports on .their. research,
describing what each individual
within their constituencies thinks
about the issue at hand. The best
way I cam describe the Committee
is to compare #& te a group of
Gallup poll-takers. As a functional
group, the Committee can no more
be titled a campus organization
than can the fire drill runners,
and therefore will not increase
**the already sizeable roster’’ of
student groups.

is to bring important issues: di-
rectly to members of the stu-

Varied Techniques, Tone
Offered in Lowell Reading

by Karen Durbin

Eminent American poet and
playwright Robert Lowell gave
Bryn Mawr one of its most en-
joyable evenings of the year with
a reading from his works Monday
night in Goodhart.

' Mr. Lowell read with effective
dramatic technique from five of
his volumes of poetry, inter-
spersed with candid and frequently
humorous commentary.

Mr. Lowell’s chronological pre-
sentation and enlightening com-
ments not only on the individual
poems but on his attitudes as a
poet at the time of each volume
lent the reading a progressive
unity and gave his audience the
extraordinary feeling of personal
insight into the poet’s creative ex-/
perience.

From LORDWEARY’S CASTLE,
which won the Pulitzer Prize in
1946, Mr. Lowell read ‘‘Christmas
Eve Under Hooker’s Statue,’’ and
two poems based on incidents in
the life of Jonathan Edwards, ‘* Af-
ter the Surprising Conversions”’
and ‘‘Mr. Edwards and the Spider.’’
The poems, all written during
World War Il, reflect moods of
desolation and bitterness, the last
ending on a note of despair. .

This mood was sustained in
the next selection, ‘‘Her Dead
Brother’? taken from MILLS OF
THE KAVANAUGHS. The ‘poem,
a dramatic narrative about war
and incest, considers the themes
of decadence and destruction and
was one of the most effective in
the program.

Mr. Lowell followed with two
Italian love poems, Leopardi’s
**Sylvia’’ and Montale’s ‘‘Dora
Markus,’’ from IMITATIONS, his
book of translations from French,

German, Italian, Greek and Rus-

sian poetry.

In reading three poems from his
next volume, LIFE STUDIES, the
poet noted a change from tra-
ditional metre and rhyme to
‘something approaching free
verse,’’ adding that he “‘tried not
to use any symbolic subjects; if
there was a pigeon in a poem, it
was a pigeon - not'a Christian.’’
The poems, ‘‘Grandparents,’’
**Skunk Hour,’’ and **After Three
Months Away,’’ exhibited a more
subdued and affirmative tone than
the earlier selections.

Mr. Lowell completed the read-
ing with five poems from his latest
book, FOR THE UNION DEAD,
which he called less autobiographi-
cal than his previous work. (‘It
occured. to me that you can’t go
on featuring yourself indefinite-
ly.’’)

The poems varied in tone, rang-
ing from the regretful love poem,
‘*Water,’’ to the desolate ‘‘Fall
1961,’’ concerning man’s possible
annihilation by the bomb.

Mr. Lowell concluded the read-
ing with the powerful ‘‘For the
Union Dead,’’ a complex work
with the dominant theme of the
increasing sterility of the modern
world.

_ The topics under consideration
this week were the establishment
of a ride system and meal ex-
changes between Haverford and
Bryn Mawr.

Concerning ride facilities, the
committee discussed having bus
rides between the two schools run
every half-hour and hour from
morning until 7:30 p.m., the lat-
ter to accommodate lectures.

Also at night are proposed 10
and 12 rides, run by student
drivers, at fares of five cents
per passenger. Thus the need
for taxis and station wagons*might
be alleviated.

Under the prospective meal ex-
change system, any Bryn Mawr or
Haverford student who has a class
at the opposite school at lunch-
time may eat there. A system:of
sign-ups and assignments, how-
ever, will be necessary,

The latter system is not so
clearly defined as the ride ex-
changes, which are presumably
ready for operation, with approval.

Each member of the committee
is now distributing appropriate
mimeographed questionnaires. to
the students she is representing;
these will be returned Monday
night, tallied, and considered in
the plans for the two projects.

Soldier Now in S. Vietnam
Appeals to BMC for Mail

The following letter arrived at
Bryn Mawr this week from a sol-
dier stationed in Vietnam and
was finally given to the COL-
LEGE NEWS. We print it not
only as an item of topical infer-
est but in hopes that it will be
answered, It is addressed to
you. ——Ed,

April 14, Saigon

I used to get a lot of crisis
mail, but lately even an embassy
bombing fails to inspire anyone
to write. It’s hard to understand,
too, especially ‘when Vietnam — is
supposed to be such-an important
matter to Americans. I guess it’s
too far away to concern most of
you. That’s what most think, and
frankly, I am inclined to agree
with them.

I really don’t think the security
of America is horribly threatened

’ . by North Vietnam infiltration into

the Republic of Vietnam. We’re
led to believe that, but most of us
can’t accept such a‘ proposition.
Well, regardless of what you or
I believe, America is committed,
or more precisely, Mr. Johnson
has committed America, to Viet-
nam, and since I am_ stationed
here I am the one most affected
by policies of state.

As a soldier it is not mine ~

to question why America is in
Vietnam, although as a college
graduate I can’t help but academi-
cally attack the President’s posi-
tion. Now, to be sure, this letter
is not really concerned with the
United States’ Far East Asian
policy. It is rather written because

I have little else to do. The prob-
lem I encounter most here is that
no one ever answers your letters.
Maybe it’s my bad prose, —

The last letter I received was
three weeks ago, and that was from
a relative. Relatives are well
meaning enough, but I’m sincerely
not interested in a Mid-Atlantic
weather.report or other such non-
sense.“At first I thought it was a
ridiculous idea to write to a girls’
school, but the more I write, the
more appealing such a gamble
appears,

To say the véry least, I’m 24
years old, a Vietnamese linguist
by choice. and slightly unhappy
by circumstance. I promise to
answer all corgpspondence and
as a special incentive to anti-
cipated mail 1 promise to include
at least one photograph of life in
Vietnam. With sincere hopes of
a reply,

100 Students, F aculty Members
Protest U.S. Policy in Viet Nam

by Edna Perkins

About one hundred Bryn Mawr'
students and faculty memberswere
among the twenty thousand people
who demonstrated in Washington
last weekend for an end to the war
in Vietnam.

The demonstrators picketed the
White House in the morning, at-
tended a rally near the Washington
monument, and then marched up the
mall to present a petition to Con-
‘gress.

The petition said: ‘‘We ... peti-
tion Congress to ask an immediate
end to the war. You currently have
at your disposal many schemes
including reconvening the Geneva
Conference, negotiations with the
National Liberation Front and
North Vietnam, immediate with-
drawal, and U, N, supervised elec-
tions. Although those among us
might differ as to which of these
is most desirable, we are un-
animously of the opinion that the
war must be brought to a halt.

“This war is inflicting untold
harm on the people of Vietnam.

It is being fought on behalf of a—-

succession of unpopular regimes,
not for the ideals you proclaim.
Our military forces are obviously
being defeated, yet we persist in
extending the war. The problems of
America cry out for attention and
our entanglement in Vietnam post-
pones the confrontation of these
issues while prolonging the misery
of the people of the war torn land.

**You must act to reverse this
sorry state of affairs, We call on
you to end, not to extend, the war
in Vietnam.’’

A statement was also sent to
President Johnson asking an im-
mediate end to the bombing of
North Vietnam and efforts to ar-
range a cease fire.

sored by Students for a Democratic
Society, with the support of every
other peace group in the country,
a few labor unions, and the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Commit-
tee.

The morning picketing was at .

times disorganized, largely be-
cause SDS anticipated only about
half of the people who participated.

‘The picket lines, which often oc-

'cupied the whole width of the side-
walks; and spilled over into Lafa-
yette Park, sometimes extended
four blocks from the White House,
trapping unwary tourists and keep-
ing a small army of police running
back and forth to direct traffic.

The rally at Sylvan Theater at

the foot of the Washington Monu-

ment began with satiric protest
songs by Phil Ochs and Bill

‘Frederick, The SNCC Freedom

Singers, Judy Collins, and Joan
Baez also participated.

Many of the demonstrators had
been involved in civil rights or
anti-poverty’ campaigns, and many
of the speakers at the rally
stressed the connection between
foreign and domestic problems,

The first speaker was Robert
Parris (formerly Robert Moses),
SNCC project director. He com-
pared our actions in Vietnam to
the murder of civil rightsworkers
in the South, saying that the Ku
Klux Klan in the South and the
American forces in Vietnam are

‘ defending all that they value and

are willing to kill to protect the
status quo. He questioned whether
any idea or set of values is worth
killing for.

I, F, Stone, Washington journal-
ist, criticized our ‘‘overgrown
military establishment’? and our

. blind hatred of Red China. Peace

in Asia, he said, is impossible
without the cqoperation of China,

Staughton. Lynd, Assistant Pro-
fessor of History at Yale, spoke
**for. the professors who have come
out of the ivory towers.’? He com-
pared the American public to the
Germans who were silent when
Hitler came to power; for we,
like they, are lied to by our govern-
ment and can ‘‘only watch help-
lessly.’? He said we have a duty to
protest, and the most honorable
place: to be in a time like this is

in jail, He added that he has re-
fused to pay part = his taxes in
protest.

Senator Greuning of Alaska
called American policy ‘‘aserious
and tragic mistake.’’ He said our
government is behaving like a
totalitarian regime in deceiving
the people and going against their
wishes. He spoke of our violation
of the U.N, charter, and said that
if we ‘‘win’? now in Vietnam we
will be faced with a major Asian
war which we cannot win. He said
that the Chinese have shown ‘‘ad-
mirable restraint’? in the face of
our actions, but perhaps we are-
doing such a good jobof antagoniz-
ing all Asia that China does not
need to intervene, He called the
*tdomino theory,’? which holds
that the loss of Vietnam means the
loss of all Asia, ‘‘utter nonsense,”’
and predicted that if we withdraw
Vietnam will form an independent
‘Communist government like Yugo-
slavia. He called for an immediate
end to bombing raids on the North
and an effort to arrange a cease-
fire with the Viet Cong.

The final speaker was Paul Pot-
ter, Chairman of SDS. He linked
the Vietnam crisis toour domestic
situation, saying that a major war
will destroy hope for progress on
such problems as civil rights and
poverty. He also said that foreign
and domestic problems are the re-
sults of the whole American sys-
tem. ‘‘What kind of system is it,’’
he asked, that caused slaughter in
Vietnam, and racial injustice, ma-

terialism, poverty, and restric-~

tions on free speech at home. He
concluded that marches and dem-
onstrations are not enough, but
that we must have a nationwide
movement to reform the whole
system, and perhaps must resort
to massive nationwide civil dis-
obedience.

Htord Students’ Council Elects
Bok Read Successor to Eyer

The hiatus created by the resig-
nation of Haverford Student Council
President Joe Eyer was filled by
the election of Bok Read ’65, last
Friday. Read, who served as junior
class representative to this body,
feels that the present Council has
created much more _ student
interest than in the past, and

students and eight faculty members
on this question.

Read is also interested in
several proposed changes which
concern Bryn Mawr students.
These include meal exchanges, and
the possibility of the acquisition
of Microbuses for inter-college
transportation, especially in the
late evening hours. He naturally

wishes to. ‘keep this interest in hopes for increased co-opera-

issues mobile.”

Read tdkes perhaps a more pro-
gressive view of change. than do
many Bryn Mawr students. His
opinion is that the only way to pro-
voke student —interest is to,
‘*propose _anaction, and to get
people to worry about the possible
results.’’ He also quotes a Haver-
ford professor on this problem,
who.referred to students as, ‘‘only
trying to get things they know
they can get,” ‘and this might be
taken as a general criticism of
Bryn Mawr’s often overly cautious
methods. He is taking a course at
Bryn Mawr, however, Chemistry
303b , and does not find the girls
in his class generally apathetic.

The new Council president ap- '—

plies these more courageous

methods to the struggle for a
particular innovation at Haverford
- the possible abolition of grades,
He cites an initial meeting of nine

tion between the Haverford-
Bryn Mawr Committees of 36 and
39 respectively.

A recent innovation at Haverford
announced at Tuesday’s Collection,
consists of the abolition of the
stipulation that a Haverford stu-
gent must possess an average of
above 80 to take a course at Bryn
Mawr.
