a

}
The main question considered at

the Swarthmore Intercollegiate Con- --

ference on Democracy and Develop-
ment. in Latin America this past
weekend was whether or not poli-

tical democracy arid economic devel-~

‘opment.are compatible in Latin

America. :

The first address of. the confer,
ence was given on Friday ‘evenin,
by Ambassador Chester Bowles,
Presidential Assistant for- Asian,
African, and Latin American Affairs.

. Ambassador Bowles spoke on “De-
mocracy and Development in Inter-
American Affairs,” saying that the
United States -cannot expect ‘to pro-

\ mote the ideal of democracy with-

out first applying it at home. As
long as the ideal of democracy ‘is
contradicted in the-United- States,
by segregation and unequal .repre-
sentation in Congress, Latin-Amer-

-~Fenas’~cannot be expected to have
- much faith in it.

a

The second speaker was Senor
Cleantho de Piava Liete, Executive
Director of the Inter-American De-

’ velopment Bank, who spoke on “Kco-
fiomic Development and Social
Change in Latin America.” He stat-
ed_that economic development,is im-
portant only insofar as it is asso-
ciated ‘with nationalism: In other
words, development must stir the

* imagination and*the energies of ‘the
Latin American people if it is to
have much success. or. significance.

Saturday moming, Professor
George Blanksten of Northwestern
University presented “A General
Theory of Politics and Development
as Applied to Latin America.” He

...described...the political ..characteris- ._.

tics of under-developed economies
and discussed the relationship of
democracy’ to social change.

Lynn Thomas Skates In Competition —
“And Alternates On US Worlds ‘Team

The day after she finished her
last exam, one sophomore was far
from Bryn Mawr and her books.
Lynn -Thomas. was- in. Longbeach,
California.

She wasn’t, however, taking a re-
laxing break between semesters. She
was working’ six\or seven..hours a
day, preparing to enter the Nation-
al Senior Ladies Figure Skating

Competition, held this year in Long-°

beach -on February 9 and 10. .

The Nationals is one link in a
chain of skating competitions, which
culminate: in the “Worlds” competi-
tion and the .Olympics, if they are
held ‘that year.

To compete in the Nationals, one
must have placed: among the tirst
six skaters of the previous year’s

' Senior Nationals or among, the first
three of the Junior Nationals of the
~ year before.
-Lynn-.has..beeh- qualified forthe
past two years, since iff 1961 she won
third place,in the Junior Nationals
and then went on to place sixth in
the Senior Nationals in 1962. :
Lynn placed third: in the figure
skating event, and in the free skat-
ing event, she was again third
among the eight competitors, The
free skating event: requires music of
several! moods and tempos after

which the skater makes up a rou-.

~tine,- Lynn’s~ choice was unusual

to begin the second semester.
Lynn comes from Chestnut Hill

and is a prospective Political Science’

major. She has been skating since
she was five years old. Skating
played an important role.in her. de-
cision to come to Bryn Mawr. She
hadn’t been-sure that she would keep

“on with her skating at college, but

her. third place in the Junior Na-
tionals made up her mind for her,
and she came to Bryn Mawr so that

she could continue taking lessons

from the man who had been her
teacher for five years and lives in
Philadelphia.

When asked if she had a_ hard

‘time ‘keeping up with her studies,

Lynn admitted that it took a little
planning. “You just can’t sit around

-in. the smcker for two hours after

“or not she will become a profession=_-

ditmer;”~she said.
at Ardmore skating rink: for
about three hours a day—for an
hour_or two while the rest of us are
eating breakfast and another. hour
during dinner time.

She hasn’t decided yet whether

al skater, but if she does, she says
she would like to teach skating. She
particularly enjoys the creativity
which she feels figure skating com-
petition demands.

Next year she plans to enter the

nationals again, and, with luck, go

on to the Worlds. ;











Lynn~practices ~~

I see that ‘you are .teaching a
course on Velasquez’ and one on
Goya.
about them? we asked. aa

“Yes. - Velasquez was seventeenth
century and Goya’ was nineteenth,
but. both were very: advanced’ for
their time, very modern; different

from: the academic ‘painters, They.

had a new vision of ‘painting.

“Velasquez is one of .the first

painters that. does not draw a line.
He uses the touché, the technique of
isolated dots, somewhat the tech-
nique of the impressionis#s. He sep-
arates the line, and the spectator’s
eye can reconstruct: its unity.

“As I-said, the-impressionists use’

this techniqué, but they systematize
it- more,

“Goya is considered the forerunner
of modern. expressionism and. sur-

realism. He paints fantastic scenes~
=-that -he sees-in-dreams, ~ He“is also ™

a great critic of Spanish society of
his. timé; he was influenced by’ the
ideas of the French Revolution.
“Goya is a realist in his portraits,
although “he ~ idealizes His subjects
more than the true réalists, » Have
you seen the painting of the Three
Smiths in the Frick? It is very

~ modern in technique and in feeling.”
He began to discuss modern painting. |

“Very little is- known in- Europe
about American painting. I would
like to see an anthology of Amer-

ican painting made and sent. to

Europe.”

What painters would you include?

“I can’t tell you so suddenly. I
would haveto think about it.” He

leaned back and thought. “Whistler,

Picasso . . . ‘Mama Mossees.’ Have
you seeen any of her work?”

No, I’m afraid I - - -

“She was ‘a very interesting per-

“It. is old-fashioned, but it has
its special quality. It’s nodern

I suppose that when there are new

buildings they will be in the modern

“Of course, it is a question of
opinion, whether it is better to have
harmony between the buildings of a
college or to “build them in’ new
styles.

“In a certain way. I think they
