Undergrad Covers

Tougaloo Incident,

May Day Mayhem

The Undergraduate Association,
representing the students of

-Bryn Mawr. College, - will--write

letters to Mississippi legislators
protesting the. disenfranchisement
of Tougaloo College. The Board
voted unanimously to write and
oppose both. the move. and the-
precedent it ‘would set in curbing
freedom of education. The letter

will treat this not as a civil

rights but as an educational issue.
, Letters will be sent toGovernor
Johnson, the Chief of’ the Judiciary
of the State Senate, President of
the student body at Tougaloo Col-
lege, and Senators Dye, Ross and
Yarborough who. are sponsoring
the bill.

Haverford’s action on May Day
was discussed briefly. Undergrad
was concerned about Haverford’s

- entering the dorms: particularly
because Undergrad had made _it -

clear to Haverford that there would
be--no~ police guard “on campus
May Day eve.

It was also pointed out that once
again Bryn Mawr students had been
for. aiding and
encouraging Haverford; ~~

students and faculty might meet on
a less formal, but not necessarily
non-academic basis.

The recent discussion of curri-
culum by both faculty and student
groups prompted a suggestion: that
joint meetings on this subject might

be both profitable and enjoyable. -

“A student raised the quéstion of
separation of faculty and students
at morning coffee at the Deanery.
Faculty members answered that
many of them would be happy to
join students for coffee--if they
were asked, They also raised the
point, however, that the coffee hour
is the only time at which many of
them are able to meet with their

colleagues and often wish. to talk’

with them.
The group agreed that several
faculty-student functions held in

the past were quite successful and .

well worth repeating, notably, the
sophomore-faculty teas given by
Mrs. Marshall, “Current Events’
panel discussions, such . as. the
discussion held last year on the
Cuba Crisis, and athletic events
such as the recent Denbigh Base-
ball game and the upcoming tennis
tournament.

~The consensus was that most
‘faculty members would. enjoy

“meeting students at informal gath-

erings but that initiative for or-
ganizing the meetings should come

‘from the students.

* Since many Bryn Mawr ciasses
are quite, small (ten students or
fewer) it is quite possible to in-
vite the class and its, professor
td afternoon coffees. This has been
tried.in at least one class and was

_ very successful,*

' All agreed that better student-

faculty relations can best be ac-
hieved by invitations and contacts
on a personal level. Mechanical
and artificial systems such as
rotation of faculty members for
weekly hall dinners wére agreed
to be far less successful;



A superabundance of spring
rains gave this year’s. May Day
a. new. -- if indoor --_ twist.

Students who had not defended
the Goodhart Maypole from Haver-
ford students were pleasantly sur-.
prised to see senior Bryn Mawr-
ters’ dancing~ around-a Maypole
hung from a batten,

Morris dancing and the ‘‘Dra-
gon Play)’ also traditional out-
door events, were also held in-
doors. Though the indoor May
Day damaged some traditions, one





senior stated the obvious .advan-
tage: ‘fat least this year I was
able to hear.’?

The invasion of Haverford boys

)

early May Day morning caused
some rapid re-shuffling of plans,

including the retrieval of a May-
pole from Merion Green. and its
re-furnishing with blue stream-
ers. The original Goodhart May-
‘pole was. damaged during i its
removal from the stage.

Sub-committee Considers Revoking -

Stetler’s Board of Ed. Scholarship

A sub-committee of the Phila-
delphia Board of Eduéation held a
public meeting Friday, May 1, to
consider the revocation of the
scholarship of a Haverford stu-
dent. The scholarship was award-
ed to Russell Stetler by the Bd.

be especially interesting, since

Director Robert Butman has placed

giving it ¢¢partial resolution.’’
The play was described by one
cast member as realistic in that
no character is a villain, Eachhas
his dream, from which arise. the

‘@onflicts in the play. Margaret

Edwards, who plays the part of

- Amanda,.the--mother, describes

her as an ‘‘embarrassingly senti-

"mental character’’?. who tries to

re-create her youth as a popular
Southern belle in Laura, her shy,
slightly crippled daughter.

The character of Laura is de-
scribed by Rena Gill as both fragile
and strong. Her struggle to emerge
from her dream world constitutes
the central action of the play.
Yogi Herring plays the gentleman

The. question under considera-
tion by the Bd. is whether Mr.
Stetler’s present political activi-
ties constitute. grounds for revoca-

Hugh Borton, President of Ha-
verford, testified that he was aware
of- Mr. Stetler’s political activities
when he. reported his — as

Thepoliticalactivities under con-
sideration include Mr.., Stetler’s

In addition to removing the Good-
hart Maypole, the boys broke into
several dormitories. and removed
clothing from girls’ rooms. Miss
McBride remarked that breaking
into halls in rooms were serious
disturbances, but girls who let
the boys in, or encouraged their
action were oquéliy at fault. .

She also said, “Such action
raises ‘some question of the ad-
visability. of having the same sort
of May Day in the future.”’

Students are presently being
asked to report stolen articles to
their hall presidents so that the
list can be given to Haverford.

When. asked changes in the pre-

Miss McBride said, ‘‘There never

_ festivities; there was certainly a humorous side. And certainly putting —
“up>May Poles instead. of taking them down. was an attempt to be con-

structively funny. Entering the dorms ‘may have been undertaken in the,
same spirit, but it was not’ constructive. Nor was it consistently funny,
In the law of the outside world it was wrong. Breaking and entering is
a criminal offense; so is theft -- although the raid was ‘‘all in good
fun.”’ In addition the raiders were not after conventional valuables,

and were much too milquetoast to be called’ criminal.

We feel, however, that the early morning storming of the dorms was
wrong, in spite of innocence of intention and in spite of the liberal views
of our‘small, separate world. No matter how well girls know Haverford,
many are bound to be frightened at being wakened by loud male voices
coming suddenly from nowhere at 3:30 a.m. For many the prank was
frightening, not funny, It was-nota ‘trescue from routine’’ but a terrifying
invasion of privacy. The fright and the uneasiness ‘of those supposed
‘to be amused suggest that the joke was not a good one, neither on the
part of the boys nor of the girls who helped them,

The success of the raiders pointed out another uneasy matter -- Bryn
Mawr dorms are infinitely enterable, through both doors and windows.
There is tio sufficient guard on campus, no one capable of stopping
‘a more serious raid, Suppose it hadn’t been Haverford?

Student, Faculty, And?

As i the case ‘with many lier traditional cmanatene on this campus,
the initiative for better ‘‘student-faculty relations’’ lies with the stu-
dents, A dormitory can invite up to two faculty members to dinner per
week for free, faculty offices are always open to us,'we can entertain
faculty members for tea in our: rooms, and there is.a high faculty-
student ratio and many small classes, Andso why this complaint? From
the outside, the situation looks ideal.

The only drawbacks to this set-up are subtle and vague -- which is
perhaps why there is complaint, and little action, Students feel, often,
faculty members are more ‘interested in their own fesearch,and it

: would be impolite to take up their time. (Yet how many students have

ever been turned away from a professor’s door?) Some students won’t
“bother’’ faculty members for fear the professor will fail to tell thém
he. is busy. And added to this is the most difficult problem to overcome,
just plain shyness. )

Also, of course, there is the physical fact that we have no ‘‘student
union’? where both students and faculty can go for coffee, or lunch, or
post-lecture discussion,

Furthermore, the issue is much confused by the fact that some stu-

dents are seeking an attendant ear rather than a discussion of things

other than their own problems. Their own confusion (often that tradition-
al hobgoblin ‘‘identity crisis’’) is to be dispelled by a few Casual but

_ miraculous words from one of the professor-philosophers,

The first step out of this is to clear away the fuzziness ourselves

* and articulate what we mean by ‘better student-faculty relations’ or

if we want them. Next we should take advantage of what we already

"have, the less shy encouraging the more shy, like the lame leading the

blind, ;

Basically, many students feel that there is avague barrier preventing
better relations, which they cannot define or overcome alone, They
wait’ something but cannot take the initiative to get it themselves -- by. ‘

ih _ After all, isn’t this the point of maturity? *

~ A Good Thing

"It isn’t very often that this campus sees a successful weekend, well-
planned, and what is more important, well attended, but Sophomore
weekend topped the mark on all counts.

For the first time in many’ months, the whole campus looked alive,
and even those without dates -~seemed to enter into-the festive mood
and to thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere. :

Friday night’s boatride down the Delaware was an experiment well
worth repeating, although perhaps the ‘‘captive audience’ helped to

__ keep the party alive, and the dance -- despite Bryn Mawrters’ doubts
about a formal in Founders -- was impressive.

We hope that such a weekend will be budgeted into next year’s social
budget, since this year it was financed only by bits and pieces of other.

_ A Calculated Plea

To the Editor:

We. hear a lot nowadays about the
increasing importance of science
in our culture. I suppose that
everybody is aware also of how
most of the sciences depend more
and. more on mathematics for
understanding them. .The wave of
“‘New Math’? in the schools has
revealed to many educated people
that their understanding of math-
ematics was shallow and narrow.
One would expect Bryn Mawr stu-
dents; who presumably insist on

«the most penetrating and up-to-
date approach to the intellectual.

disciplines which interest them, ,, Math,

to be sensitive to the increasing

need for mathematics in many
fields, and also to have. some
curiosity about the subject itself.
.Yet the numbers electing any math
courses. at Bryn Mawr are rel-
atively low, andshow no increasing
trend. On. the chance that one
reason for this is some misunder -
standing. of our introductory
courses, I am writing this letter,

We. offer. two. courses without
prerequisites ; other than the min-
imum mathematics required for
admission to Bryn. Mawr. Math,
101,
and more specialized course which

_lays the foundations for further _
work in Mathematics, Physics and

Chemistry. Math 103, on the other
hand, is a non-traditional, un-
specialized course, intended to

strengthen the hand of the person .

who needs to read or use Math-
ematics in any other field, or

who, short of a major, wishes -
to test her interest in Mathematics

itself, The difference between the
courses is not only-one of subject
matter. (Math 103 might include
some of the ideas of calculus,
but with most of the emphasis

on other topics from algebra, logic, —

set theory, probability, statistics

ete) Because of its role in-start-
ing majors, and because it must -

cover certain standard techniques

has to keep up a pace which is
apparently hard for some students,
even when on paper they have the
prerequisites, Math, 103, by con-
trast, is somewhat free to adjust
its content and pace to the needs
of the students taking it. While
not either a lower level course,

‘nor a remedial course -- it will

work on_ sophisticated and
important mathematical ideas at
a mature level -- it is intended
to be deliberately hospitable to
those students who feel insecure
in their ability or previous train-
ing.

103 would not be
‘appropriate as an ally to Physics

As part of his continuous and

credit on Stetler, Feldman read a

statement out of context which

appeared to have “‘revolutionary’”’
undertones. Stetlér’s lawyer was
ruled out of order for noting that
the statement was one Stetler had
quoted from Senator Wayne Morse.

This hearing raises some funda- -

‘mental questions about the nature

Oversight?

To the Editor:

“ ‘The three students who criticiz-
ed: the faculty so bitterly for their
lack of participation in campus.ac-
tivities have overlooked several
facts.

1) Members of the faculty HAVE
attended lectures, particularly the -
Wedgewood and Panofsky lectures.

2) The students themselves do
not turn up at these lectures inany
overwhelming numbers, and per-
haps some self-improvement
would’ be in order before such
criticism.

3) Members of the facuJty might
feel that too much of their partici-
pation in symposia and discussions
would hamper student expression.

4) Many faculty members have
homes and children to attend to.

5) They take part in community
‘activities and undertake other re-
sponsibilities of which these stu-
dents are not aware,

6) The faculty have academic
responsibilities: classes, papers
and exams to read, and meetings
to. attend, It is worth noting that .
professors are less likely to cut
classes than are students, and that
they are not as easily able to get
‘textensions’’ on their work as are
the students. _

When the majority of the student
body stops cutting classes. in such
large numbers; when they can get -
their papers in on time; in short,
when they are able to organize
their time and live up to their re-
sponsibilities, perhaps then they
can begin to criticize the faculty:

The short Renaissance pieces

first. The pitch was insecure and
rose considerably during the first

proved, showing the skill and tech-
niques of the performers.

~The ‘last piece in the first section
was a motet by Victoria, O MAG-
NUM MYSTERIUM, directed by
Mr.‘ Blachly. Its opening with two
voices only, soprano and alto, was
- sung to give the fullest effect of

the awe inspired by absolute sim-
plicity. In later parts of the motet,
tempo and rhythm transitions were
effected with precision and aware-
ness, particularly in the Alleluia
section.

The Credo from Josquin’s MISSA

S. Schapiro Named
Marshall Fellow

Sally Schapiro, a member of
the Class of 1964, has been awarded
a Marshall Grant. Sally, who is
now majoring in English, plans
to continue studying English Lit-
erature. She will begin working
toward getting a Bachelor of Art
degree at Girton College at Cam-
bridge, England next year.

The Marshall Grant is a scho-
‘larship granted by the British
Government. The grant is adminis-
tered by the Marshall Aid Com-
memorative Commission. It is,
Says Sally, ‘‘sort of a thank you”?
for the aid given Britain under
the Marshall Aid program after
the Second World War.

Sally, who is a native of Hamil-
ton, New York, now residing in the
COOP, was notified early this
year that she would be awarded

the grant. She wasn’t sure, how-_

ever, where she would be studying
until very recently.

Sally presently holds the Char-
les S. Hinchman and the Sheilah
M. Kilroy prizes. She has also
been awarded a Woodrow Wilson
fellowship.

Mr. Bonime, showed a thorough

Study of the music, Unfortunately,

entrances were missed, and the

various voices tended to get lost .

in the difficult Renaissance rhy-
thms. Two trios and a duet were
also performed by members of the
choir, Barbara Hurwitz, Mr.
Blachly and Mr. Bonime exhibited:
**Renaissance’’ voices, full and
smooth, but never heavy,

The group seems to have the

potential for sounding very pro-:
fessional if they can perfect their
whole repertory to the degree of
some of the moments of this con-
cert.

Gail Simon, flute, Carolyn Dran-
off, harpsichord, and Edmund Haz-
zard, oboe, performed the TRIO
SONATA IN G in its entirety and
the andante movement from _ the
MUSICAL: OFFERING, Both were
done well, particularly the latter,
There was a: slight problem in
that the harpsichord was not wholly
in tune with the other instruments,
but it was not so glaring that it
could “not be- overlooked. in. favor
of the more sterling aspects of
the rendering. The fugue in the”
SONATA IN G was especially well
executed,

The program closed with another
choral work, CANTATA #39,

* “Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot, ”

by JS. Bach. The cantata was con-
ducted by Mr. Blachly who seemed
to have some trouble in getting.
the attention/of the chorus, but’
despite this advantage, he did
a superb. interpretation of the
music.

Mr. Blachly .chose to give a
subdued recreation of the chorale
at the, close of the cantata, The
orchestra balanced the choruses
well, although the contralto aria
was somewhat overpowered by the
few instruments-used-there,

On the whole, the work was a
success, as was the rest of the
concert. It is to be’ hoped that
there will be more such student
efforts in the future.

Waverly Praises Kirby Stone Four

Record Is More Kicks Than Bottle:

By Waverly Cleverly

Have you ever heard a smile?

The Kirby Stone Four sing with
an,ear-to-ear grin in their voices.
You can actually HEAR it.

In their latest Warner Brothers’
release, ‘Things Are Swinging,’
the Four belt out eleven of Broad-
way’s liveliest and brightest show
tunes with more warmth , jubilance,
‘and kick than you’ll ever get from
a bottle -- with no after effects
other than a foot weary of tapping
for 25:38 minutes,

Characteristically using their
unison voices to belt out the break-
strain ’bone and ‘trumpet parts in
flawless rhythm and. power, the
listener is awed by the coordina-
tion -of big band sound of both.

Starting off the selection with
‘‘There’s No Business Like You-
Know-What,’? they whip on to. the
amazingly well-arranged *‘ Jeepers
Creepers’? ’ which: interpolates
Benny Goodman’s oldie ‘Slipped
Disc,’’ ‘Hello Dolly’? from the
néw musical of the same name is
treated ‘with characteristic and
expected perfection and poise-(very
much differently from the current-
ly number one (WABC) job by
Louis Armstrong). Their arrange-
ment of ‘*Baubles, Bangles, and

Beads’’ which is already famous”

and gets better every time one
hears it, illustrates the group’s
ability. to turn from POW! to
smoothness with vocal agility, well



illustrating the fact that the voices
are never separate from the band

back of them but are always an -

essential part of the orchestration.

Side two includes the title song
“Things are Swinging’*.as well as
‘eYou’re Driving Me Crazy,’ “Zing
Went The Strings,’ ‘¢Thank Heaven
For Small Female Children’’ and
**Together Wherever We Go.’
Peeping through thé brassy big
band-ness of the arrangements are
a Wild Bill Davis. ‘organ.,in' the
title song, and a Perez Prado
interlude in ‘Fascinating Rhythm,’
giving the necessary relief from
total brass-power.

In a.way this album is. a good
thing; listening to it all the way
through gives the same effect as
about four Lowenbrau darks - it’s

cheaper, there’s no hangover, and 4

it’s still legal in the dorms.

_Two-Game Season

Suffering a five to three defeat,

_the Bryn Mawr -Lacrosse team

played its first game of the sea-
son against Swarthmore. (The
first two’ games were rained out.)

Swarthmore lent the. Mawrters a
goalie, since Bryn Mawr lacked

enough members for a full team,

In the first-half, the ball re-
mained in the Swarthmore attack
zone, where they made four points.

Karen Flack, ‘67 began the se-
cond half with Bryn Mawr’s first

sons squeezed in another goal,

Frances. Cooper, ‘67, scored
Bryn Mawr’s second, and Karen
‘Flack made the final point in the
last three minutes of play.

The lacrosse team, captained
by’ Grace Hamilton, ‘66, has
members who have just learned to
play this spring. Nancy Owens,
‘67, played on the attack, Valerie
Winston, ‘66, played on the de-
fense, Sheila’ Walker, ’66 sub-
stituted for the defense in the
last ten minutes-of play.

One more game remains to be

‘Has the. Younger Generation a
New Morality?’ asked Millicent
Carey MacIntosh, ina lecture last
evening of the same title. Mrs,
MacIntosh, President Emeritus of
Barnard College and Trustee of
Bryn Mawr, speaking at Inter-
faith’s last lecture of the year,
defined this younger generation as
the group between eighteen and
thirty . She then mentioned the con-
cern manifested by every ‘older
generation’’ in-shistory that ‘‘the

world is going to the dogs” due to

the actions of the younger genera-
tion.

»

She noted, however, the ‘‘genuine
revolutions’’ of the past 75 years,
unparalleled in history, which have
created an increasingly drastic
concern on the part of elders, She
cited the changes in political, so-
cial, religious and sexual mores,

these were the popularizationofthe

- Because of the radical shifts 1n

younger gener&ation had in discuss-
