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
‘Anthropology Club
To Present Films
On Old Indian Art
The Anthropology Club of Bryn
» Mawr College is presenting a
trilogy of films based on Pre-
Columbian America, December 5
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
foundation. A narrator describes
how a blind and elderly medicine
man forfeits his mysteriously em-
powered necklace to a loon; the
characters here are enacted
by silent performers wearing
ancient British Columbian Indian
masks.
for Abolition
argued that there is no need for an
organization ‘‘over’’ the Big Six,
which has no actual specific func-
tions which could not be taken
over by-one of them. However, the
Executive Board stressed that Un-
dergrad is not ‘‘over’’ the Big Six
-- it is more of a catch-all or-
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.??

Secretary of the American
Socialist Party, will lead a

Common Room at Haverford.
The discussion is part

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

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
tryout; that’s better than the rest
of us did,’? laughed Nimet Habachy,
president of the College Theatre.

it was all Tertius, and itremained

The presentation of the Alas-
kan songs and the Bryn Mawr
concert marks their first presenta-
tion outside of Alaska, represents
years of work by Professor de
Laguna, Chairman of the Bryn
Mawr Anthropology Department,
and, recently, some intense labors
of transcribing of Mme. Jambor.
Professor de Laguna has been
working for twelve years ona major
book that took her to Alaska in
1952 and 1953. There she collec-
ted many of these songs on tape.
The songs to be sung on Sunday
are from her first collections.
Mme. Jambor transcribed them
two weeks ago, and some of them
are still without their accompany-
ing texts. These will be perform-
ed first to show their complex
melody unobscured by words. Mme.
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.

Between entrances, Tertius ex-

‘satyrs rehearse in the Common
Room, where there was ‘plenty

Tertius later told choreographer
Alice Leib, ‘‘One of your men

Tertius feels that he improved
with every rehearsal; further-
more, the play was ‘‘tons of fun,’?
Director Bob Butman has promised
