_ Bachrach Leaves BMC

‘his

-... Brown. has" been’ a

Peter Bachrach, professor
and chairman of. the political
science department of Bryn Mawr
for 21 yearsgis leaving at the end
of this semester.

Bachrach has accepted a job
at Temple University in Phila-
delphia beginning in the fall
of 1968. As one ‘of the most
popular and most. ef-
fective teachers at Bryn Mawr,
he has been explaining his de-
parture first in terms of
wanting the experience of teach-
ing at a large urban uni-
versity, and second, in terms
of the more attractive salary levels
at Temple.

“It’s ‘sad to be associated.

with one institution for one’s whole
professional career,’’? he com-
mented. ‘At an urban uni-
versity, the student body is
much more heterogeneous inclass
and in outlook.’ «The students
present a challenge ‘‘highbrow stu-
dents don’t present.’’ —

Temple has scheduled him
to teach one 2-hour grad seminar
and one 3-hour course, less than
the two undergraduate courses and
one grad seminar required of all
Bryn Mawr faculty members. In
addition, at Temple, each course
will be in some area of political
theory, which complements his,

present research. He is now under —

contract to do two books, one
with Little, Brown, who published
his THEORY OF DEMOCRATIC
ELITISM last year. He also plans
to continue working with Mor-
ton Baratz on their theory of
power and its applications in the
Baltimore area.

Bryn Mawr’s salaries and
six children have forced
Bachrach to ‘moonlight ex-
tensively in the last 10 years.’
He has taught courses at Penn
and Haverford, has given speeches

Negro Group



and has served as consultant to
various public and private or-

ganizations. The salary offered

him by Temple will allow him

to give up such activities in order
to concentrate on ‘teaching and
research in political theory. No

replacement has yet been ap-
pointed. oe
Another professor whose
courses are always crowded is

Mrs. Isabel MacCaffrey. Mrs.
MacCaffrey will be in England
next year on sabbatical with her
husband at Churchill College’ at
the University of Cambridge. Wal-
lace MacCaffrey is chairman ofthe
history department. at Haverford.

‘The following year MacCaffrey will

be teaching at Harvard, and Mrs.
MacCaffrey’s plans are not yet
definite.

According to unofficial NEWS
sources Mrs. MacCaffrey is
one of five English faculty mem-
bers in the English department
who ._will be absent next
year. Replacements apparently
have not yet been found.

to Support

H. Rap Brown's Release

Members of the Bryn Mawr
Negro Discussion Group are seek-
ing support on campus for a peti-
tion to the United States Supreme
Court, which requests that the
Court release H. Rap Brown,
Chairman of SNCC, from restric-
tion in. the city of New. York.

SNCC will file an appeal to the
Supreme Court to overturn the
travel restriction on Feb, 26, 1968,

The petition was drawn up by
SNCC to unite ‘Black and white
citizens of the United States” in
upholding the free speech of Brown,
his right to travel and communi-
cate his views, and, as national
chairman, those of SNCC, The pe-
tition concludes by defending Brown
in particular, and the freedom of
every American citizen in general.
It reads, ‘*We call upon the Supreme
Court of the United States as the
ultimate guardian of the First
Amendment to consider his petition

“for a writ of certiorari promptly.
and upon consideration to setaside

the restriction on his right to
travel. Only by such action will
the rights of all American citi-
zens be protected and the voice
of dissent kept alive in the land.’’

which, if disobeyed, would mean the
forfeit of a $15,000 bond and im-
prisonment,

The reason for the court order
is derived from a speech Brown
gave on July 24, 1967, in Cam-
bridge, Maryland. According to
SNCC, Brown left the city of Cam-
bridge the day of his speech to go
to Washington D.C, A while after
he left, an elementary school, with
a history of being burned down,
was burned again. The next day the
State Attorney Of Maryland issued
a warrant for Brown’s arrest,
charging him with inciting people
to burn the school.

Brown was arrestedat the Wash-

ington airport and turned over to the
F.B.I. Charges of “flight from
‘prosecution” were dropped by the
Federal government to be taken up
by the state of Virginia. Brown was
deposited in the city jail in Alex-
andria, Va. and after awhile, re-
leased on $10,000 bond.

The Governor of Marylandasked
the Governor of Virginia to extra-
dite Brown to stand trial on the
school-burning charge. On Sept. 18,
Brown was released from jail on
another $10,000 bail on the condi-
tion. that he would not leave the

Author Plans
Campus Visit

Writer and editor May Swenson
will come to the Bryn Mawr cam-
pus sometime in the autumn of
the 1968-69 academic year as
visiting author under the Lucy
Martin Donnelly Fellowship Fund,

The award, made for distinction
in writing, carries with ita stipend
of $3,600.

A graduate of Utah State Uni-
versity and a resident of New
York City, Miss Swenson has been
an editor at New Directions: and
has published poems in literary
magazines including ‘‘The New
Yorker,’’ ‘‘The Hudson Review’’
and ‘‘Poetry.’’ :

She has served as judge in vari-
ous national poetry contests and
has received grants from the Na-
tional Institute of Arts and Letters
and from the Ford Foundation,

In 1966, her play ‘The Floor’?
was produced at the American
Place Theatre in New York,
and from 1966-1967 she was
writer-in-residence at Purdue
University. Last year she also
published a collection of poems
called ‘‘Half Sun Half Sleep.’’ Sev-
eral years ago Miss Swenson
read her poems at Bryn Mawr
on the Theodore Spencer Memorial
Lectureship Fund.

Miss Swenson is. the eighth
recipient of the fellowship which
was established in 1949 in
memory of Miss Donnelly who was
Professor of Englishhere for many
years, . ate

Other recipients of the fel-
lowship have been —_ Elizabeth
Bishop, Elizabeth Bowen and
Eudora Welty.

Mawr will be studied by the ‘‘case
study” method, or the College
could have submitted a report such
as the one on curriculum which
was made three years ago,

The visit will not be another
evaluation, but will be a chance
for interested educators from
other institutions to see Bryn
Mawr, The fourteen visitors, ac-
cording to President McBride, are
interested in the combination of
a liberal arts college with a grad-
uate school and in our ‘‘inter-
institutional cooperation’’. with
Haverford and Swarthmore,

The visiting particpants will in-

~ eludé the director, Otto F, Kraus-

haar, president emeritus of
Goucher College, andan observer
Dwight C, Miner, professor of his-
tory, Columbia University,

The study will be focused pri-
marily onthe curriculum and on the
faculty. On Tuesday, Feb, 27, Dean
Marshall and members of the
Curriculum Committee will make
a presentation which will be fol-
lowed by a discussion, After a
luncheon with faculty in sciences,
social sciences, and humanities
at different tables, there will be

a discussion of new and contin-
uing problems of curriculum,

In the afternoon, there will be
individually planned conferences
with faculty and staff, A dinner

will be held with the presidents of
Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and
Swarthmore,

On the following Wednesday, the
discussion will turn to the fac-
ulty as a unit of the college, Walter
C, Michels has headeda committee
which will report on faculty growth,
development, salaries, promo-
tions, and tenure, There will be
further roundtable discussions in
the afternoon,

The administration: has added
other topics which it thought would
be. of special interest to the visi-
tors, These include a discussion
on student? affairs with student
offices, and a discussion of fin-
jancial affairs by President
McBride,

No' formal report will be made
about the visit, The results will
be what the particpants learn from
their stay, and what the College
learns from the questions of the
visitors.

Concern Over Urban Crises
Leads to Fast and Teach-In

We live in a strange time,
unlike any other in the history of
this nation, a time in which the
problems of our society are more
visible than they have ever been
before, and because they are more
visible, our generation has more
hope and more need of affecting
the social structure of our world,
In the United States the cracks
in the social structure have been
made painfully obvious by the war
in Vietnam, The war, however,
is not what is basically wrong
with our society; it is, in fact,
diverting attention from some of
the truly crucial issues in our

domestic structure, Money is being-

pulled out of the poverty program
to fight the war, Already military
and police units are being or-
ganized to cope with blow-
ups which government officials
know will break out in the ghettoes
this summer,

And yet, most of the time
this impending crisis seems so
far: remote from those of us on
college campuses in white suburbia
that the inevitable riots, and the
conditions giving rise to them,
are rarely a matter of concern,
One thing, however, remains true,
Unless we want to watch our
country being demolished in the
conflagrations of civil war, we
must. educate ourselves to the
problems about what we students,
who will very soon be among
the leadership of this country,
should be doing.

As a means of furthering
this education, the Bryn Mawr-
Haverford - Social Action Com-
mittee and the Bryn Mawr-
Haverford Negro Discussion
Group will be jointly sponsoring
a week-long fast and teach-in cen-
tering on the urban crisis,
to be held in the latter half of
April, The fast and the teach-
in -will both involve the. students
specifically on the Bryn Mawr
and Haverford campuses, but will
i eimai aa

&

students from ~ Villanova. and
Lincoln Universities and Harcum
and Rosemont Colleges,

- The teach-in is planned as
a study in some depth of the
crisis in the city ghettoes of this
country, with particular emphasis
on the Philadelphia area, Thespon-
soring groups plan to invite
Black Power speakers of local
and of national prominence, speak-
ers involved in working to
better the conditions in ghettoes
in both Philadelphia and other
cities, and to feature at least
one film on conditions in the Phila-
delphia ghettoes, The aims of
the teach-in will be threefold:
to inform people on local campuses
about the relevance of the Black
Power movement, locally and
nationally; to set out the con-
structive steps that have been
and are being taken to remedy
the problems within the ghetto and
wi city structures; and, to
point out what can be done
by the people on these campuses

to assist in combatting the
problems of poverty within
the cities,

The last day of the teach-in
will feature speakers from Haver-
ford and Bryn Mawr Colleges,
discussing what is being done by
student groups’ in the Main Line
and. the Philadelphia areas.
These will include speakers on
the Ardmore and the North PHILLY
Tutorial programs and the
Serendipity -Day Camp program,

“There will also at that time be
a discussion of progress in a
SAC-sponsored program of arts
workshops for children in the town
of Bryn Mawr, a program now in
the organizational stage, This is
a program which will be expanded

next year if proven successful this
spring. At presentitis slated to run

“for a period of eight weeks, from
Mar, 2 through May 4, with pro-— .
_grams. for. year-olds --

No More Rapping

As national chairman of SNCC, H, Rap Brown
has visited many areas of this country, articulating
his and SNCC’s views about it clearly and loudly,
Now his voice has been silenced beyond the reaches

of New York City by a.court order. He has been in- .

vited by many colleges to speak since his geograph-
ical imprisonment, but they will not hear his views.
He might have been asked to participate in the teach-
in SAC is planning for Bryn Mawr this April, But
he cannot come,

Earlier this year we as students were made aware
of restrictions on another black radical leader --
Leroi Jones, He was not a part of Bryn Mawr’s
Black Arts Festival because he was in jail at the
time, facing, as Brown does, charges of ‘‘inciting
to riot.”’ By writing poetry? By giving a speech?
Are riots caused by words or oppressive conditions?
At any rate, we were deprived of a chance to hear
these men’s words,

But the situation of H, Rap Brown and Leroi Jones
is not only annoying to those students who want to
listen to their speeches or who agree withtheir ideas,
It indicates a threat to the student community. Dr.
Spock, who has been directing his encouragement for
draft resistance largely at students, facing induction
in a war they believe is wrong, has been indicted for
‘‘conspiracy.’’ Student organizations suchas Students
for a Democratic Society and the W,E. duBois Club
will soon be investigated by the newly revived Senate
Subversive Activities Control Board (SCCB). Another
investigatory Congressional committee, the McClellan
Committee, has seized the private books and letters
of young poverty workers in Appalachia, associated
with Appalachian Volunteers (part of the war on pov-
erty program) and the Southern Conference Educational
Fund (SCEF). The role of students is being shaped
for them in some ways,

The government, although it is draping its actions
with the legal ritual of the courts and Congressional
committees, and with phrases like ‘‘incitement’’ and
*‘conspiracy”’, is in effect trying to shut up political
opposition and questioning, through actual imprison-
ment and through imposing the fear of imprisonment.
The actions of the government are being increasingly
challenged, with the extension of the war inS,E, Asia,
which is affecting many groups in this country, and
with the sharpening conflict in the cities between rich
and poor, white and black. Is the government really
interested in changing its policies, or is it’ inter-
ested in suppressing movemets for change?

_ We _who are students, who especially value our
>dom. to reject old ways of thinking _
and explore new ones, must see a a as part

Why Ignore Haserierd Courses?

‘Now that we have come’ through one tradition --
Hell Week -- let’s consider a less pleasant tradition

and its effects. I am referring to that pervasive —

administration attitude of “ignore and conquer,’’
especially with regard to the problem of work at
Haverford.

Before I start, though, I want to mention two |
. things. First, that this article is not an attack on

any particular person or persons in the Bryn Mawr
echelon. I have no vendetta against anyone in Taylor
nor do I believe that they have any against me. I am
critical only of a general administration approach
and its ill effects on the students. Secondly, this
attitude, is not confined to academic exchange.
Everyone who knows the social honor system or the
drug policy is aware of the system. of ‘‘getting a
rule on the books’’ and then ignoring the problem.
But Bryn Mawr is primarily an academic commun-
ity and the intellectual policies are foremost.

One of the ways to evade the issue is by refusing
to adopt a general policy. If one deals only in indi-
vidual cases one can completely avoid setting a
standard, and ludicrous excuses somehow seem less
ludicrous if applied to the single situation. And the
excuses ARE often silly. For example, actual rea-
sons given for rejection of either 1) a Haverford
major, 2) Haverford requirement credit, or 3) just
plain course credit, include:

‘*Isn’t it-too early to specialize?”

“It makes a mockery of our theory of education.’’ -

‘‘No.’? (No explanation given.)

‘‘The department has refused.’’ (The department,
of course, says that the administration sets the
policy.)

And most childish of all, they inferred:

‘*If you don’t like it here, go somewhere else.’”’
I’d like to deal with the problem head-on, a BOR
sible.

Why, first.of all, should credit not be eventos
for the general course? The benefits are obvious:
the advantage of a choice, both of departmental
approaches to a field, and of particular profes-
sors’ ways of considering a discipline. The avail-
ability of two departmental approaches DOES NOT
imply the inferiority of either method. To take an
example from my own experience, I could mention
the Bryn Mawr and Haverford physics departments.
Both are well-planned programs, but ours empha-
sizes a firmer base in clasgical physics, while
Haverford develops modern physical ideas earlier.
Physics is a large subject, and both departments
cover different ground, as well as followa different
order. But both recognize the validity (if not the
superiority) of the other school’s system, and they
permit exchange -- for major credit. No de-
preciation of the department is involved in ex-
change simply because a student may prefer
another angle of the subject. .

The administration seems to argue that the
student who chooses another approach should just
go somewhere else. But on the simplest level, we
never had the chance to get a degree from Haver-

ford; unless we may profit from the Haverford

departments via Bryn Mawr we will never getthem.
On the higher plane, why should one ‘‘go somewhere
else’’ if the desired way lies next door? Or what

of the many cases in which a combination of Bryn
Mawr and Haverford courses would make the best —

training of all? Should we ejiminate a chance to
broaden our directions by a petulant parochialism?
We could combine the diversity of a large school
with the intimacy of a smaller college.

Besides, how many of us were certain of our
majors, no less the specific approach, when we
came? The curriculum should nurture our develop-
ing interests -- we should not pattern ourselves
upon a rigid plan. Does the Bryn Mawr bureau-
cracy feel that we are incapable of deciding what
kind of physics we should study? Maybe we are.
I’m sure that the e in the department know
more than their students about the ways of learn-
ing the subject. But we are to be trusted with the
main decision -- to what career we will devote ~
ourselves -- then surely we must be given the re-
sponsibility of the general ways we go about learn-
ing it.

Does the administration perhaps fear a mass.
exodus to Haverford? If that should happen, it would
indicate a serious deficiency in the department. But ~
I don’t believe that Bryn Mawr is resting solely on
its laurels. We are a good school in fact, and people
will still want to take our courses. Bryn Mawr
courses are not innately undesirable; the evidence
is that there are at least as many boys taking
courses here as girls at Haverford. I am sure that
no one here .is so frivolous as to trade a crucial,
pertinent course at Bryn Mawr for a bad one at

“Haverford because of the social contact alone.

On the other hand, we can’t dismiss the impor-
tant factor of having members of the opposite sex
in some classes. If all factors are equal, surely it
is pleasant to have at lease one class with boys --
for the sake of seeing them, being with them,
talking to them -- not to mention the intellectual
value of another viewpoint. Is it really necessary
to subject the student to a chaice between a social
life and requirement credit?

Let’s not forget that we are dealing with schools”
of equal merit. No one goes to Haverford for a gut

or to Bryn Mawr for good grades. The philosophy

may be taught differently there, but it is taught as
well as at our school. Major or non-major, can’t
the two schools recognize a course, even if it isn’t
presented in the way that the other might judge
perfect? Again let me stress that the exchange
would not involve compromise or admission of in-
feriority, but only a recognition of the diversity of
a field. Haverford has taken this stance and gives
its students credit for the courses they take at
B.M.C. It behooves both schools to take a broad-
minded position.

If these arguments seem valid to the Bryn Mawr
administration, I hope it will respond with some
general’ policy of exchange, with regular credit,
requirement credit or major credit. If not, if there
is some important fallacy in the thinking, at least
we may be granted a specific refusal, with justi-
fication in some publicized rebuttal. But we atleast
deserve something more than dilatory tactics. The.

‘administration cannot silence a rising number of

requests by evasion of individual cases. If the policy
that the administration chooses is reasonable and
fair, surely they can state it clearly, once and
for all.

NEWS-worthy

To the Editor: -

Some might respond to your la-
ment that there is no news (Edi-
torial, Feb, 9) by contending that
in a community as small as the
College there is no need for a
newspaper, because such news as
there is gets around. However that
may be, we. should not ignore the
role of the NEWS as a record
of day to day events at Bryn Mawr,
which could be of interest to future
generations as well as the present
one, I for one, far out near the
ends of the grape vine as I am,
rely on the NEWS for news, and
my lament is that the news cov-
erage is not complete. It is in
the nature of things hard to pro-
duce examples of news which did
not appear, except for one. of the
obvious causes; I mean the times
when there is news but no NEWS,
A prime illustration is the Black
Arts Festival, a major campus
event, with considerable build-up

in the NEWS beforehand, but no.

Miss Mis ees Grant
To Study Atna Indians in Alaska

- Frederica deLaguna is one of
those rare and wonderful pro-
fessors who never fails to in-
still in. her students the belief
that ‘‘The Human Experience’’ is
something beautiful to be savored

photo by Mary Yee

and wiihenien and, ultimately, to

be understood. This year, the
National Science Foundation -has
awarded her a $31,900 grant,
to. be used for ethnographic work
among the Atna Indians of Alaska’s
Copper River Valley.

She will be joined by Cath-
arine McClellan, a 1949 Bryn Mawr
graduate who is currently pro-
fessor of anthropology at the Un-
iversity of Wisconsin. The two
anthropologists worked together a-
mong the Alaskan Indians in 1954,
1958 and 1960. Their forthcoming
expedition is actually an extension
of the work done under a previous
National Science Foundation grant.

Accor Miss deLaguna, the

_purpose of these studies is ‘‘to

be able to discuss Atna culture
in depth, as.well as- to discover
its importance among the Atha-

baskan language groups.’’ She and —

Miss McClellan will make tape re-
cordings of life histories, histor-
ical tradition, songs and linguistic
materials.

They especially hope to add to
‘what Miss. deLaguna describes as
‘ta lot of very valuable infor-
mation linking whole — groups
of people.’’ One clue to the his-
torical ties connecting the Atna
and other Alaskan groups is aleg-
end which recounts a clan migra-
tion from the hinterland to the
coast. Also, the Copper River
formed part of a great trade route
‘which extended from one of its

tributaries, across the Great ~
Bering Glacier, and on down the

Northwest Coast.

Since her first field work in
the North--a six-month stay in
Greenland in 1929--Miss deLaguna
has had several opportunities to
study North American cultures.
She headed three archaeological
expeditions to Alaska between 1930
and 1932, co-led a Danish expe-
dition to the territory in 1933, and
took a group down the Yukon in

First-Rate Acting Compensates
For Deficiencies in Frosh Show

From conception to Saturday
night finale, Freshman Show got
progressively better. Based on
a Nordic theme, it was called
‘Who Put the Vie in Viking?’
an obviously rhetorical question
that turned out to be a real state-
ment of the play’s basic problem.
This problem was not really much
of a problem. Three heroes of
the race of Kings, Hairic the Red,
Heldric the Heady, and Cedric
the Seedy, were to be rewarded
for their bravery. Wanting neither
to settle down as ruling squires
nor marry three proffered daugh-
ters of their King Frothmuch, they
chose to set out on a new quest.
Distracted early in the quest by
a chorus of trolls, the three re-
turned to their city of Halvalla,
where they provoked the wrath of
a magician of Druid origin and
uncertain accent, called Arnuf C.
Heathdane. This magician wrought
a curse on the race who;: being
Kings, would subsequently have to
vie for their glory, and so would
be called Vikings. Enter the title.
This done, Heathdane changedfrom
wrathful warlock into a sort of
fairy godfather, helping the three
heroes out of their romantic

troubles and salving the pride of
the Kings. Ultimately four happy
couples were united, King Froth-_
much was satisfied, and the finale
was sung.

This tenuous plot, in which no
villain. managed to remain
villanous for long, was immeasur-
ably reinforced by the excellent
performances of some of the many
heroes.’ The lady of the hour was
Lucia Nixon, whose patrician de-
livery and riveting gaze made
her lines as Frothmuch’s daugh-
ter Brunhilde completely hil-
arious. Ashley Doherty as Cedric
gave a very winning portrayal of
a sort of cross between Gomer
Pyle and Goofy. She, with Jill
Kaplan as Heldric, Leigh Ehlers as
Edna, and Lee McGeorge as Dame-
fairsal made the first act, quartet
quite pléasant vocally, though it
was awkwardly staged. More might
have been done with Edna, whose
part cried out for a Cinderella
transformation like that of her
sister Mairfaiden... In_addition to
being another example of the fresh-
man penchant for spoonerized
names, Mairfaiden (Ann Marie
Thro) had the best voice in the
cast, was capable of really as-

tounding vibrato and her second
act love duet with Hairic (Donna,
Vogel) was the musical high-spot
of the show. Peggy McCarthy was
occasionally appealing as Heath-
dane, though she allowed some
lines to fall prey to her elusive
accent,

The economical score was high-
lighted by the well-constructed
duet ‘‘Him and Her.’ Its lowest
ebb was Heathdane’s non sequitur
recitative, intoned over his cald-
ron. The Troll’s.Chorus, courtesy
of Edvard Grieg, was also paren-
thetical, but was charmingly exe-
cuted and completely irresistable.
All music was performed with
flair by a small combo headed by
pianist Ellen Keiser’, ‘

If the Viking plot was weak,

some of its one-line jokes were
inert. Others, like an exchange
of ‘Adieu,”. / ‘1 don’t,” went
over thanks to slick delivery. In
all, rather too much humor was
left to slick delivery or timing,
the very things hardest to achieve
in a production like this, There
were a_ great many. absolutely
Opaque puns in the script. Still,
the evident enthusiasm of the cast
carried some weak spots.

“In one 'of the opening scenes of the Freshman Show ‘‘Who Put the

Vie in Viking?’

King Frothmuch (Chris Spears) bestows king-

ship upon Hairic the Red (Donna Vogel) while kingly companions
Cedric the Seedy (Ashley Doherty) and Heldric the Heady (Jill

Kaplan) await their crowning moments.

Costumes and sets, especially
the Mead Hall, were impressive,

and actors were placed well on-"

stage, except in the quartet. The
opening banquet scene showed fine
staging, until the main charac-
ters were stuck on in front of
the court carousers, Scenes which
might have been played in front
of the curtain were not, causing
some’ annoying pauses between
scenes on Friday night. These
were remedied somewhat in the
second performance. Once the

curtains were drawn and the scenes
began, the timing showed com-
mendable polish.

After its stiking beginning, this
production threatened to drag as its
vague dramatic complications
were introduced. It picked up
with the trolls’ dance, and reached
a peak with the ‘*Him and Her’
duet. Throughout, the first-rate
performances were compensation
