Little Theatre Chooses Play:
“Thurber Carnival” for Dec. 9

*‘She’s all I know about Bryn
Mawr and all I need to know,”’’
quoted Bryn Mawr-Haverford
Little Theatre director Bob Sin-
clair ’67, at the organization’s try-
outs for THE THURBER CARNI-
VAL in Skinner Wednesday night.

The 50 prospective actors, pro-
duction people and onlookers who
made the turnout the largest ever
known for a minor production,
responded to these and other lines
from the play ‘‘with an enthusiasm
we only hope the audience will
possess,’’ said Sinclair.

THE THURBER CARNIVAL,
which is an adaptation of the book
of the same name by James Thur-"
ber, will be presented in Skinner
Workshop December 9. The pro-
duction is a review, not a play,
with short scenes tied together
with music. The music will be
furnished by a five-piece jazz
combo, which will arrange its own
selections, some of them original,
to fit the scenes. ;

THE THURBER. CARNIVAL
contains such classic pieces of
Thurber subtlety and wit as, ‘‘The
Macbeth Murder Mystery,’’ ‘‘The
Unicorn In the Garden,’’ and ‘‘ Word
Dance,’’ which is an adaptation
of some of his famous cartoons,
One possibility, according to mem-
bers of the production staff pre-
sent Wednesday night, is to pro-
ject the cartoons between scenes.

Of the 35 actors and actresses,
a third of whom were freshmen,
who tried out, 20 -- ten men and
ten women -- will be chosen. ‘‘We
want as many new people as pos-
sible,’? explained director Sin-
clair. ‘‘Little Theatre is meant
to encourage just such a turnout
as tonight’s, with many more new
faces than old.’’ The policy of giving
anyone with ability responsibility
will be carried to the production
staff as well. ‘‘We would like to
see as chairmen of committees
people who are experienced, but
who have never headed com-
mittees,’? said last year’s pro-
duction staff, Cathy Sims, Lessie
Klein, and Pam Barald. Little
Theatre was established as an off-
shootof College Theatre and the
Haverford Drama Club to give
students a chance at direction and
production of comedies, experi-
mental theater and original plays.

THE THURBER CARNIVAL
was selected as this year’s pro-
duction and Robert Sinclair chosen

‘ as director at an organizational

meeting of the group Tuesday, No-
vember 8. Many plays were sug-
gested by the 30 members who at-
tended the meeting,
Thornton Wilder’s THE SKIN OF
OUR TEETH, Pirandello’s THE
JAR, Day’s LIFE WITH FATHER,
Shaw’s MAJOR BARBARA, and
several Gilbert and Sullivan
operettas (which the group might
perhaps revive, at some future
date since in past years, a Gil-
bert and Sullivan was a popular
custom on campus).

BMC Students Seem Uninterested
In Vietnam War, Survey Shows

by Kathy Murphey

The results of the Vietnam ques-
tionnaire recently distributed by
Alliance in order to poll student
opinion on the war were meager,
according to Drewdie Gilpin, pres-
ident of Alliance. Out of the ap-
proximately 125 students who an-
swered the questionnaire, about
80% expressed reservations about
the war, and 20% supported the
current U,S, policy in Vietnam,

\

Alaskan Indian

Alliance composed the question-
naire in response to a letter from
Cornell University, Last spring,
the student government of Cor-
nell held a referendum on U, S,
policy in Vietnam. This fall, Cor-
nell has asked several colleges
and universities to run similar
referendums to indicate the dis-
tribution of views on the war.
Drewdie hoped also that the ques-
tionnaire would give Bryn Mawr
students of various political back-
grounds a chance to express their
opinions,

The--general response to the
questionnaire was disappointing,
Drewdie felt. Many students re-
vealed ignorance of some basic
facts about the war in Vietnam,
One girl believed that the North
Vietnamese were bombing South
Vietnam. Another did not know
what the NLF, the political branch
of the Viet Cong, was.

The small number. of question-
naires turned in seemed to indi-
cate a very faint interest in the
war in Vietnam on the part of
Bryn Mawr _ students, Drewdie
thought, She said she had es-
pecially hoped that the conser-
vatives on campus, who often com-
plain about. being overwhelmed by
the liberal element, would use the
referendum to speak out. Apathy,
she felt, was’ the dominant re-
sponse. Drewdie wondered if Bryn
Mawr students were too busy to
think about the war, if they. knew
nothing about it, or if they just
did not care.

Drewdie realized that the over-
all results of the questionnaire

Baratz Gets Million-Dollar Grant
To Study Poverty In Baltimore

Mr. Morton Baratz of the Bryn
Mawr Economics Department and
three other men have been given a
three-year grant, amounting to al-
most a million dollars, by the
Office of Economic Opportunity.

Mr. Baratz, William Grigsby
at Penn, Homer Faver at Morgan
State College in Baltimore and
John Kettelle,a mathematician and
operations researcher, began
working officially in July on their
project -- an evaluation of com-
munity action program effects on
poverty in Baltimore. This study
will bé’ one ‘of eight in the country
which the OEO is sponsoring to
try to evaluate the anti-poverty
program.

They will be-looking at the struct-
ure of the various community action

_- programs in Baltimore and at the

2

characteristics of the target popu-
lations. to which they are aimed.
The programs include Head Start,
legal services, and foster day care
centers, among others. In Balti-
more, these are ‘all under the
complete control of the City Couh-
cil, as opposed to Philadelphia
where ‘there are elected members
of the poor serving on the plan-
ning commissions,

For the first six months, they
will be working on the ‘‘research
design phase.” They will be de-

ciding what, they want to look for, .

and. then how to,measure it, They
are working from the point of view
that poverty is not just an
economic problem. Itis a collection
of problems that now happens tobe
highly, .although not completely,
correlated with low income, A suc-



cessful anti-poverty program
would break the relationship and
problems would be randomly dis-
tributed throughout all income
ranges, and hopefully they would
be less frequent and less serious.

Mr, Baratz’ group has coined a

term for the various aspects of
the community action program.
They call it the ‘‘welfare industry.”’
The welfare industry actually goes
beyond the OEO. activities to public
housing, police and fire services,
Part of their inquiries will be to
see how the OEO services have
fitted in to. the.existing programs.

Before the three years are up,
the four men expect to recruit
about 25 other workers. They have
already called in Mr. Bachrach of

the Political Science Department —

lastly, the Alaskan Indian songs.

The .concert does not represent
a random selection of works. Mme.
Jambor has a guiding philosophy
behind the choices for all her pro-
grams. Saddened by the conditions
in the world at the present, she
found great. comfort in the state-
ment of an old Alaskan Indian
woman, author of one of the songs
to be presented. ‘‘Nobody taught
me this song,’’ she said. ‘‘It lived
in my heart.’? Mme. Jambor’s Sun-
day musicale is designed to show
how artists can contribute to a
greater atmosphere of peace and
tranquility in the world through
expressions from the heart.

The three chorales, for ex-
ample, written while Bach was’
still very young, inspired such
feeling in the congregation that
Bach was dismissed from the
church where he was employed.
The minister had observed that
the music attracted more atten-
tion than his sermons. Whether
or not these chorales actually con-
tributed to goodwill in Bach’s
community, they certainly prove
the power of music to. influence

were not conclusive. However,
some of the individual comments
were interesting.

On the question of whether John-
son has made every possible ef-
fort to begin peace negotiations,
opinion was largely negative, One
answer claimed, ‘‘According to the
citizen’s white paper put out by
Lin Mattison and other Midwestern
academicians, Johnson has con-
sistently allowed the war to ese
calate every time conditions ap-
pear to be ripe for negotiations.’’
On the other hand, some justi-
fied Johnson. in —his- refusai—to
compromise the ‘‘U,S, position.’ °

A clear majority of students
supported a coalition government,
including communists, for South
Vietnam, Many stressed that such
a coalition should represent the
will of the South Vietnamese, as
demonstrated in popular elections.
The right of communists in South
Vietnam to representation in the
government was widely expressed,
A few students, however, seemed
afraid of the subversion of the
South Vietnamese communists by
the Chinese and by other groups
who might try to impose com-
munism on all of Southeast Asia.

Only a third of the students an-

swered the question about invit-
ing the National Liberation Front
(NLF) to negotiate. Almost all the
rest felt that no real negotiations
could occur without the NLF, since
this_group controls_a_large per-
centage of the population. Some
claimed there should be no ques-
tion about asking the NLF to par-
ticipate in a peace settlement,
since they are one of the two war
parties in Vietnam. A few sup-
ported the view that the United
States must concentrate on main-
taining a superior military posi-
tion so that an invitation to ne-
gotiate would not sound like plead-:
ing.
_ Students had different opinions
on the level of military activity in
Vietnam, About half showed a wil-
lingness for immediate withdrawal
of U,S, troops, One answer stated,
‘‘Every day that we become more
involved in this war, we come
closer to WW IIl.’? Withdrawal
should be accompanied by some
plan for a future government in
South Vietnam, or by the entrance
of the United Nations into the coun-
try, some thought,

Interfaith to Host
Professor Snyder
On Art Mysticism

Mr. James Snyder will deliver
an. address on ‘‘Mysticism in
Medieval Art?’ as part of a series
of lectures sponsored by Interfaith
this semester. The talk will take
place at 7:30 p.m. inthe Art Lecture
Room, Wednesday, November 30.

Mr. Snyder, who is an associate
professor in the History of Art
Department here obtained his Ph.D.
at Princeton University, He pres-
ently teaches courses here in
Medieval Art as well as in other
art subjects, and will center his
lecture on the phenomenon of the
icon as a graduate influence on the
development of Medieval religious
and cultural expression. .

The so-called mysticism which
played an important role in the
spiritual nature of Middle Ages life
and customs was intricately related
to the idea of a tangible deity.

kay to Sion: ‘Outs

The Constitutional Revision Committee for the Self-Government
Association will probably. be taking up the matter of Bryn Mawr’s
sign-out system; we know the topic has already been under discus-
sion among members of the group. The new Erdman system, which
involves. discarding of sign-out cards upon return and informing
the hall’ president of late minutes, is a noteworthy experiment which
lays _more-stress-on the individual's responsibility to the honor sys-
tem, and we encourage all dormitories to try it out, there being no
regulations in the present constitution as to sign-out systemsthem-
selves,

But as the constitution comes up for review, it is time to question
the regulations that do exist, especially in terms of curfews. We
approach the subject after reading the newspaper of Muhlenberg
College, where upperclassmen have no curfews and enter the dorm
with a key. Granted the system exists at other colleges, such as
Radcliffe, but we cite Muhlenberg because its Women’s Council
sent a questionnaire to parents to ask if they would object to a key
system, and 87.6 per cent were in favor of the program,

If the key system were used at Bryn Mawr, the privilege should go
to all undergraduates, not only to juniors and seniors. We suggest
that such a system is perfectly feasible here, operating as follows:

Every student would not possess a key; rather, she would sign one
out if she planned not to come back before 2:00 a.m. and would sign it
in when she returned. There should still be a 2:00 a.m. sign-out, with
no keys needed up until that time and student doorkeepers on the job
until that hour. If a girl planned to be out past 2:00, she should sign
out until 6:30 a.m., at which time the dorms would open. If she
planned to be out later than 6:30 a.m., she should sign out in the
overnight book. There should be no stipulations as to where or where
not the 6:30 a.m. sign-out could be used.

The main objection to the system is that Bryn Mawr girls have no
locks on their. room doors, and if keys to the dorm were lost or dupli-
cated, it could be dangerous., The only answer is that the respon-
sibility for the keys rests with the students, and loss or misuse of
them would not be treated lightly.

We propose that the Constitutional Revision Committee poll the
campus, as well as send’ out questionnaires to parents, And we invite
parent subscribers to submit their reactions to the NEWS if they feel
violently pro or con.

In conclusion, we add that the system we propose would be an even
greater expression of the integrity of Self-Government at Bryn Mawr.

The Undergrad Affair

The NEWS? stand on the so-called abolition of Undergrad has been
widely misinterpreted. Our point has been all dlong not to abolish
Undergrad, but rather to de-emphasize and decrease its status. The

_ Executive Board itself admits that Undergrad is a ‘‘catch-all or-
ganization.’? We simply do not think a ‘‘catch-all organization’? de-
serves to be on the same plane as Self-Gov, a body which is not only
unique in function, but which represents the social and academic
integrity of the whole Bryn Mawr community, Undergrad mistakenly
seems to symbolize Bryn Mawr in many cases where instead it should
be Self-Gov.

The letter from the heads of the Big Six states that Undergrad has
not hindered any one of them, Yet we think the example of Alliance’s
calendar proposal clearly illustrates how Undergrad, because of its
position ‘‘over’’ the Big Six, slows procedure and generally bogs
things down.

Alliance wrote a proposal several weeks ago onthe method of select-
ing the college calendar. It intended to submit it to Curriculum Com-
mittee, in whose jurisdiction the matter falls, Instead of being able to
do this directly, Alliance had to submit it to Undergrad (on one Mon-
day night), Then Undergrad gave it to Curriculum Committee, who
expanded it and took it back to Undergrad (the next Monday night), But
it was not brought up at that meeting, but at the succeeding one (the
next Monday night). It was then approved and the next day it was sub-
‘mitted to Mrs. Marshall,

This process took over three weeks when it should not have taken

“ much over three days. This is what we mean when we say Undergrad
bogs things down.

Undergrad is now in the process of revising its Constitution. It
will be voted on by Legislature sometime in 1967. Unfortunately, it is
not considering the reduction in status that we advocate, but rather
the reduction of NSA’s status on campus, which we most strongly do
NOT advocate. Therefore we ask that Amendment 9, which adds ‘‘if
she is so needed’? to ‘‘The Vice President shall serve as NSA Co-
ordinator’? be defeated. This campus would greatly benefit from closer
ties with the National Students? Association, and we do not see any
reasons a —. it to the asandeervcie, 38 the 08 whe aio needed’?

: departments, Though it seemed that in general
: they opposed the lame duck arrangement, a num-
‘ ber were willing to experiment or at least see how
: the week worked out before condemning it out-
- right. There were teachers who hoped it would
‘lead to new, better-planned developments and
‘there were some who had not thought much about
: it at all.

Mrs. Myers of the English Department, for
example, thought the week was too broken up to
be really effective; she called it ‘‘a vestige’?
in the process of reorganizing the school sched-
ule. Nevertheless for her Chaucer class at least,
she is considering assigning a project in connec-
tion with exams and possibly cancelling one or
two of the class meetings (depending on how much
ground remains to be covered at the end of the
term),

Mr. Berthoff’s reaction was even more positive.
He is also in the English Department, and would
like to see eventually at Bryn Mawr a two week
reading period like the one he had as an under-
graduate at Harvard. Thus he is joining the read-
ing period to the last week of classes; he will not
hold scheduled classes for his novel course but
has instead assigned the reading of another novel
and specified criticism in preparation for a ques-
tion on the exam, Students can also work on the
assignment over Christmas.vacation.

In the science departments the reactions were
mixed. Physics professor Miss Hoyt will con-
tinue to hold regular sessions for all her classes.
Mr. Anderson did not feel that the new schedule
arrangement would make possible changes in the
program of Chemistry 101. On the other hand,





Nahm, offered at least one of his classes the op-
tion of cancelling classes during that last week.
Interestingly enough, the students voted to hold
classes, ‘‘Those freshmen!?’ said one disgusted
junior. Mr. Ferrater Mora has decided not to
hold classes during the lame duck session. He
sees the week as a period which will provide
especially smaller classes like Kant and Logic
with an opportunity for small groups to meet
with professors about points they did not under-
stand or to further develop topics which inter-
ested them. Thus Mr. Ferrater Mora will be
available all during, the week. He acknowledged
however, that such a system might not work as
well for larger classes like Phil 101.

In somewhat similar fashion, economics pro-
fessor Mr. DuBoff felt that while the extra week
might be useful in a small, paper-oriented
more loosely constructed seminar, the new time
arrangement made no difference in a tightly
structured course like 101. He said he would
wait, however, to see what happened, Basically
he would prefer a system like Penn’s, where
students come back early, take exams before
Christmas vacation and then enjoy a long vaca-
tion until about the middle of January.

History professor Mr. Brand would like to
make an expedition with his medieval culture
class during that last week to the Hagley Mills
Museum in Delaware if he can find funds,

Mr. Enslin of the History of Religion depart-
ment on the other hand will start classes again
immediately after vacation as before. He pointed
out that there-is not enough time as it is to get
through the course material.

It is now 10:55 a.m. (Sunday).
The door to the Library was just
unlocked; it was supposed to be
opened at 10:00 a.m. The purpose
of opening the Library early on
Sunday was to provide more time
to use the Reserve Room, Has it
been opened? No. Provisions were
made to have somebody work in
the Reserve Room this morning
and was she notified that it would
not be opened? No. (And the same
thing happened last week.)

Inconvenience? Yes, not only for
her but the many others who had
fond hopes of imbibing the treas-

‘ures of knowledge to be found within

the tomes imprisoned within the

I am about to make a state-

one is to go by appearances, it
expresses a desire which is ac-
cording to the college viewpoint,
anti-social, unpatriotic, and
vaguely illegal. Let me explain
this last implication by making
my stand.

I want a lock on my door, or,
at least the option to place one
there or not according to my own
volition. Now let me explain the
legal aspect of the question; a
part of the dormitory population *
of Bryn Mawr seems to be under
the impression that county fire
laws prohibit the use of locks on
academic residence buildings, It
would seem incongruous that fire
laws would impede the instituting
of locks on college halls when
there is no such provision made
for apartments, hotels, or other
public living places.

Even if this last were -true,
however, it might certainly be
open to change or amendment. In
any case, the necessity for locks
to rooms has been made dramat-
ically apparent at least in some
dorms recently by outbreaks of
petty theft, but should these be
nonexistent, the very size and
nature of the undergraduate com-

Undergrad Members Question

Recent Proposal

With regard to the proposed abo-
lition of Undergrad, the Undergrad
Executive Board came to the con-
clusion in its meeting Monday that
there was noconclusion to come to.

The suggestion that Undergrad
be abolished and its duties taken
over by the Big Six and other col-.
lege groups came from certain
members of the Educational Goals
Committee. Since it WAS a sug-
gestion -- and not a formal pro-
posal -- the Executive Board felt
no neéd to take formal action, ac-
cording to President Margaret Ed-
wards. 4

The members of the Executive
Board agreed that the desire to
abolish Undergrad probably came
from a misconception of what Un-
dergrad actually is. It has been

To Present Films
On Old Indian Art

The Anthropology Club of Bryn

trilogy of films based on Pre-

at 9 p.m. in the Biology Lecture
Room, The program, which should
last about an hour, will be open
to all for a 25¢ donation.

The first in the three-sequence
production is titled ‘‘Quetzalcoatl’’
and is, in ®essence, the retelling
of an ancient legend by gods and
men. The vignette will feature the
display of masks, statuettes and
other artifacts of Pre-Columbian
Indian origin.

This film will be followed by a
study in cinematographic form of
Pre-Columbian Mexican art, under
the guidance of distinguished
archaeologist, Jacques Soustelle,
The time range for this segment
of the program will begin around
1250 B,C, and thus enter ultimately
into the details of the Spanish
Conquest, the Olmecs and Aztec
development and the cultural and
religious conventions they evolved.

The third and last of the por-
trayals, called the ‘‘Loon’s Neck-
lace,’’ is a fictitious representa-
tion of primitive superstitious

ganization which takes care of
many things that otherwise would
not be handled.

Margaret said that when Bryn
Mavr hada student assembly, when
the COLLEGE NEWS was able to
handle all the publicity of the
college, when all affairs of this
nature were taken care of, then
Undergrad could be abolished. She
said, ‘‘It was a very good thingfor
all this to come about. And when
it?s feasible, the abolishment of
Undergrad WILL come _ about.??

Budding Actor Tertius Describes
Impressions of ‘Tale’ Experience

by Marcia Ringel

Tertius Berwind, who played
Mamilius in the recent BMC-Hav-
erford Drama Club production of
‘(The Winter’s Tale,” has oc-
casioned some interest on campus
concerning both his impressive
acting ability and his equally im-
pressive name.

Tertius’ official name is Charles
Graham Berwind III; ‘‘tertius” is
Latin for ‘‘third.’’- (He has no
brothers named Primus and Secun-
dus, but in fact is, at 11, the oldest
of four, two boys and two girls.)
Having been called Tertius at home
since about the age of two, he
personally chose that name over
Charlie or Graham when about to
enter school, despite misgivings
on the part of his mother, a for-
mer English teacher here. Now he
is called Tertius by everyone.

Just’ home from school -- he
attends The Haverford School, fifth
grade. -- Tertius, an attractive
young man with round, bright eyes
and loosely falling blond hair,
began the interview by emptying
his pockets of shoehorns and as-
sorted paraphernalia, and then sat
down to talk.

Annual class plays which involve
school-wide participation are all
the theatrical experience Tertius
has had before ‘‘The Winter’s
Tale,’’ his largest part having been
‘¢sort of alead’’ in ‘‘Papa Pepper’s

and Mr. Lichtenberg of the School
of Social Work, as well as other
professors at Penn and Swarth-
more. Mr. Baratz reports that it
is tremendously valuable to have
men from different disciplines all
looking at~ the same subject, be-
cause they all see different aspects
of it, and then each has to justify
his position to the others, Mr.
Baratz described their meetings as
‘ pretty exciting at times.”’

The OEO has given them com-
plete publication rights and they
will be publishing as the project
goes along. They see the prob-
lem of defining and possibly
measuring poverty as of ‘‘genu-
ine academic interest.’?

Both Grigsby and Baratz have
worked onpoverty-related subjécts
before, including a study of hous-
ing in Philadelphia. A year ago
they had a small nine-month re-

mother’s theatrical experience
since the sixth grade, she realizes,
have been confined to ‘‘classroom
histrionics’”; nor is Mr. Berwind
theatrically inclined.

Yet Tertius wanted to an actor
for as long as he can remember,
far before ‘*The Winter’s Tale,”
and is unable: to watch a play
without wanting to be in it. Thus
he was delighted when he was
chosen for the part from among
a small group of faculty children.

‘¢He knew the part cold at the

Professor de Laguna has been

The songs to be sung on Sunday

are still without their accompany-

Jambor strongly believes that the
students of her Ethnomusicology
class (Anthropology 205c) must be
able to live in the music, to re-
create the music of non-Western
peoples even if they have nospoken
words, no ideas to help them.

Following the songs without texts
will be three children’s songs with
texts translated into English.

Mrs. Poston Forecasts Problems
For Johnson’s War on Poverty

Alliance presented Mrs. Ersa
Poston, head of the Office of Eco-
nomic Opportunity of New York
State, at a lecture on ‘Poverty
in the Midst of Plenty” in the
Common Room Monday night.

Mrs. Poston began her lecture
with a quote: ‘‘We must anticipate
charity by preventing poverty.’’ She
then went on to give examples of
the failure of American society up
*til today to do so. She traced
social aid through history up from
the early days of the country,
citing the New Deal after the De-
pression as the main major step.
But, Mrs. Poston asked, in reality,
‘“‘How far have we come?’

She said that these days America
considers itself to be the most
powerful and wealthy nation in the
world, not realizing that all its
wealth is in the midst of poverty.
According to the government

Mefinition of poverty, a family of

four which has an income of under
$3000 a year, or a single person
who has an income of wnder $1500
is living in poverty. And according
to this definition, she said, over
1/5 of America’s population, or
36 million people, is impoverished.

These poor, said Mrs. Poston,
are scattered through the nation’s
cities, suburbs, farmlands, and
mountains. They are left behind,

COG

Cola" and Coke” are regi







tered trade-marks whi

‘‘alienated’’ by society, and the
result is that ‘‘the children of
poverty become the parents of
poverty and begin the cycle again.”’

Social work in America, she
said, has come a long way, but it
is held back still by certain myths
that Americans happily delude
themselves into believing. One of
these myths is the idea that hard
work and energy will set anyone
up. Another is that if we only con-
centrate on helping the nation’s
economy, poverty willautomatic-
ally disappear. Many Americans
fondly believe in the status quo:
things are basically fine, we have
the power to change society’s ills.
And there is the really basic
American idea that money solves
all problems.

Mrs. Poston pointed out that the
Depression disproved the hard
theory -- if the money’s not there,
it’s not there. She said that econ-
mic growth does not touch many of
the poor; it falls completely out-
side their sphere. Status quo, she
said, is a belief:in donating money
for housing projects in the suburbs
while the city crumbles around you.
And money, she said, is useless
without investigation into its appli-
cation.

Americans need, said Mrs. Pos-

a

ton, to be alert, to have communi-
cation with all sectors of their
society. She spoke favorably of
programs which train the poor
for certain skilled jobs. These
jobs, she said, should not only
employ them, but train them to
move farther.

Mrs. Poston noted especially
the popular Community Action
social program, in which many of
a city’s social groups work to-
gether. There is a federal law now
for certain of these groups that at
least 1/3 of the governing board
must be representative ofthe poor.
The Philadelphia Community
Action group, she said, was one of
the first in the country to actually
hold a general election on the mem-
bers of its board.

Asked for her opinion of the
government’s War on Poverty,
Mrs. Poston said that the heart of
the program had been cut out by
the last session of Congress.Com-
munityAction. was defunded, she
said, in part because it threatened
the old social power establish-
ments. ‘‘The Great Society pro-
grams are going to be in trouble’’
when next’s year’s conservative
Congress comes in, and social
groups must begin to look for new
sources of money. M.K.

Zazen Explained by Rev. Shimano

‘‘Zen is a discipline, a prac-
tice, an experience, When that ex-
perience is infused in us, our life
changes; our viewpoints will be dif-
ferent,’’? The speaker, presented by
the Interfaith Association, was the
Reverend Eido Tai Shimano, Di-
rector of the Zen Studies Society

‘4in New York City, Addressing a
large audience Wednesday eve-
ning in the Common Room, he
described the practical aspects of
Zen Buddhism and its relation to
our everyday life.

One goal of Zazen is to attain
intuitive knowledge, fundamental
wisdom, What is this knowledge?
Reverend Shimano explained it-as
«the intuitive realization of ‘that
pure consciousness which cannot
be aware of itself.’’ The most
splendid sword cannot cut itself,
he said, The mirror cannot reflect
itself, Our eyes cannot see’them-
selves,’ Thus the smallest particle
of subjectivity cannot disappear,
‘cannot be destroyed by objective
analysis, The subject in the sub-
ject-object division of matter can
be reduced and reduced in size,
but it will always remain, We are
finally compelled to say intuitively,
‘‘T cannot be conscious of that
pure consciousness,’’ as

Zazen does not strive to be
understood by the intellect, Infact,
Zen sitting should be a means
of forgetting ourselves through the
total concentration of mind on one
matter, through the exclusion of all
* else from the mind, Absolute con-

centration may lead us to forget

that we are concentrating. The

final state, obliviousness of our-

selves, is difficult to attain,

Reverend Shimano affirmed, but

once achieved, ‘‘it will crush the

acquired concept: of. what is I,

Reality is not twoness, but one-

ness, The mountain is my dif-
ferent form, Rivers and trees
and I are not the two, but en-
tirely the one thing. That pure
small, small object has no fixed
form, It pervades all the universe
and exists every place,’’

The intuitive realization of one-
ness contains an inherent: .con-
tradiction, ‘‘There is no I and you,
yet unquestionably there is I and
you,’’? Reverend Shimano gave the
following explanation of the para-
dox, ‘‘When you go to the river and
when you wash your hand, you feel
the cold and you know the water
does exist, But the river is made
by many small streams, and the
many small streams are made by
thousands and millions_ of drops
of water, Water is made by
hydrogen and oxygen, No matter
how far back we go, we cannot
find a final entity, Water exists,
but it has no specific form of its
own, It is temporary, Everything
is temporary, including our-
selves, Yet we think that it is
permanent, That’s the problem
This is temporary, -- life, Thi
is the reality. Zen experience is tc
realize it intuitively, not — in-
tellectually,”’

The second goal of Zazen is to
accumulate the power of stability,
‘‘Zazen is sitting, and by sitting
we make our most stable form for
body and mind,’’ Reverend Shimano
feels that the life of the present
day is very restless, that we are
under great pressure, We are con-
fused, depressed, frustrated, ‘‘Our
mind and body are moving like
an automobile wheel,’’ We lacl
the power to change an_ entire
social situation, but we can create
a stable mind to keep our. en-
vironment from enslaving us, ‘*Th«
axle of a car is so fixed, s
stable that the car can be driven
safely, even at great speed, If
we can have this stable axis, we
can be the master of our cir-
cumstances, not the slave to them,”

In. Zen, the process and the
goal are completely one thing, We
cannot intend to become enlight-















_ If we sit correctly, enlight-
nment and, therefore, stability,
will come all by themselves, This
state is not limited only to
Buddhists, The door is open to
everyone, After all, as Reverend
Shimano. pointed out, Buddha was
not a Buddhist before enlighten-
ment,

Reverend Shimano’s_. greatest
concern is that fhe power of sta-
bility is too inconspicuous for the
modern world, People today want
tangible results, He has been told
here in the United States that he
‘fsits quietly and does nothing,’’
Does doing require some sort of
visible agitation? He explained that
you have to do many things in
Zazen to attain that oneness of
mind which makes confusion,
frustration, irritation and fear im-
possible, ‘‘This is not a theory,’’
said the Reverend at the close of
his address, ‘‘This is a practice,
It’s very simple. Maybe too simple
for this complicated world.’”’ J.O.

Mathematicians
with Versatility
& Imagination
... Look to







Mathematicians are key members of the
professional fraternity at the National
Security Agency, a scientific and techno-
logical community unique in the United
States,‘ perhaps in the world. NSA is the
Agency responsible for developing ‘'se-
cure" communications systems to trans-
mit and receive vital information...

YOU AND NSA

As a mathematician at NSA, you will be
defining, formulating and solving com-
munications-related problems, many of
major national significance. Statistical
mathematics, matrix algebra, finite fields,
probability, combinatorial analysis, pro-
gramming and symbolic logic are but a few
of the tools applied by Agency mathema-
ticians. They enjoy the full support of
NSA's completely equipped computer
laboratory where many of them often be-
come involved in both hardware and soft-
ware of advanced computing systems.
Theoretical research is also a primary con-
cern at NSA, owing to the fact that the
present state of knowledge in certain fields
of mathematics is not sufficiently advanced
to satisfy NSA requirements.

IMAGINATION...
A REAL REQUIREMENT

Mathematical problems at NSA will sel-
dom be formulated and handed to you, the
mathematician, for solution. Instead, you
will help define the problem by observing
its origin and characteristics, and the
trends of data associated with it. You will
then determine whether the problem and
data are susceptible to mathematical
treatment, and if so, how. As you grow in
your appreciation of this approach to math-
ematical problems, and the relationship of
your discipline to non-mathematical sub-
ject matter, both your personal satisfaction
and your value to NSA will increase, as
will your responsibility.

CAREER BENEFITS

NSA's liberal graduate study program per-
mits you to pursue two semesters of full-
time graduate study at full salary. Nearly
all academic costs are borne by NSA, whose
proximity to seven universities is an addi-
tional asset.

Starting salaries, depending on educa-
tion and experience, range from $7,729 to




The ‘Cipher Disk'"’...NSA symbol
and one of the oldest and most effec-
tive cryptographic devices known.



$12,873, and increases follow swiftly as you
assume additional responsibility. Policies
relating to vacations, insurance and retire-.
ment are more than liberal, and at NSA
you enjoy the advantages of Federal em-
ployment without the necessity of Civil
Service certification.

NSA is located between Washington
and Baltimore, permitting your choice of
city, suburban or country living, and allow-
ing easy access to the Chesapeake Bay,
ocean beaches, and other summer and
winter recreation areas.

Committees Among Proposed Undergrad Revisions*

Undergrad’s Executive Board
voted this week on changes both
major and minor in its con-
stitution. These changes will later
be sent to Legislature for final
ratification.

The proposed _ constitutional
revision reflects both the thorny
problems of the last two semesters
at Bryn Mawr and the current con-
troversy on campus, The proposals
presently under consideration are:

At the top, the procedure and
composition of Executive Board
itself is to be altered. It is first

of all to be expanded to include .

Chorus and Orchestra, Issues will
be decided on the basis of a simple
majority of those present, instead
of the two-thirds majority required
now for all questions, For questions
of major importance, however, the
president can still require the more
rigorous two-thirds majority.

In addition, the functions of the
members of Exec Board have
been shifted and clarified. The
vice president will serve as chair-
man of the election committee and
shall organize and administer the
election system. The clause which
designated. Exec Board as the

election committee will be deleted. -

The vice president, according to the



: A.A. Events

Sunday, Nov. 20: Frisbee Again
3:00 on Merion Green,



proposed revision, will serve as
National Student Association Co-
ordinator ‘‘only if she is so need-
ed.”? In the present consitution,
the vice president is automatically
the NSA co-ordinator and repre-
sents the college at the annual.NSA
Congress.

The president of Exec Board
under the revised constitution
would be ipso facto a nonevoting
member of all committees. She
would-be replaced as head of the
Traditions Committee by the chair-
man of the committee, presently
only. an assistant.

Perhaps most important of all,
the social committee isup for com-
plete reorganization in an attempt
to solve the problems which have
plagued it for so long. The revised



sections provide for co-chairmen
of the social committee; ‘‘A girl
from the Freshman Class shall be
elected by her class in November,
Her office shall continue until the
next November. She willalso serve
as an Undergrad rep for her class,
A. girl from the. Freshman class
shall be elected by her class in
March, (at the time of the other
campus elections), Her office shall
continue until the next March. She
will also serve as an Undergrad
rep for her class.’? The twochair-
men will co-ordinate the different
social activities of the college and
preside over the Social Committee
composed of.thé dorm social chair-
men and elected campus social
reps,

There would be other changes

in standing committees if the re-
vision were carried: the Vocational
Committee would be eliminated, the
Student Housing Committee would
be added, and the ‘‘Tri-College’’
Committee would be changed tothe
‘*Bi-College’’ Committee. The

Curriculum Committee would be

placed on a level with the Big
Five.

Finally, the procedure for im-
peachment ‘has been expanded, At
present, a petition signed by ten
percent of the student body is re-
quired to impeach an Undergrad
officer; according to the revision,
a two-thirds majority of Exec
Board could also initiate im-
peachment proceedings,

Perhaps the most important and
most controversial revision in the

by-laws of the Undergrad con-
Stitution would eliminate required
voting both in primary and final
elections. Required preferential
voting would also be eliminated,
although it is hoped that some sort
of satisfactory alternative could
be worked out. In view of the |
crisis at the beginning of thfs’
year where Arts Council and Cur-
riculum Committee. lost their
chairmen and valuable time was

lost electing two more, a new pro- |

vision is to be added: each organi-
zation’ must have a‘ constitution
which provides for the immediate

filling of vacancies of one or more _

of its officers.
