‘Milk Wood’ Rehearsals
Now In Second Week

Rehearsals for College’ The-
atre’s spring production of Dylan
Thomas’ ‘*Under Milk Wood)’ set
“for March 18-19, are now in their
second week.

‘he principal effort seems to
be directed toward the development
of a profound feeling for Thomas
and of a sense of the symphonic
wholeness of this piece of many
solos. *‘When you’re not doing an
elaborate performance with 63
people,’? says College Theatre
president Vicki May, ‘‘everybody
has to have an understanding of
Thomas.’’ The fact that. approxi-
mately 20 performers are to rep-
resent more than 60 characters
also demands a considerable de-
gree of versatility from each mem -
ber of the cast. This in turn
requires the development of a
facility in the use of. the body,
the voice, etc., the exploitation
of the whole tonal range of the
personality.

ReadingSpecialist

To Attend Class
Of Miss McBride

Mrs. David Gould, of the Class
of 1942, will speak about training
teachers to teach reading, in Miss
McBride’s regular Education class
Monday, March 7, from 3 to 5)
in Room C.

Mrs. Gould, the former Toni
Stern, came to the U. S, as a
réfugee from Germany and be-
came the first Bryn Mawr Under-
graduate Scholar. She graduated
Magna cum laude as a Psych-
ology major, and immediately
afterwards began to work in el-
ementary school teaching, later
receiving an M.A, at Columbia
Teachers’ College in 1947.

Most recently she has done pri-
vate work in remedial reading, and
volunteer teaching of new reading

. methods in “Harlem. schools. Miss
McBride has especially invited
students participating in the tutor-
ial project to hear Mrs. Gould.

Another condition imposed by the
form of the play, and one strongly
emphasized by Director Butman
during a rehearsal attended by
this reporter, is that every actor
be a whole person the instant
he walks on stage. For this is
a play without major roles, where
characters enter onto the scene,
brush or jar one another, and
pass off again, It is a play in
which the spatial and temporal
wholes embraced -- asmall Welsh
coast town, a day -- and the
psychological whole are allvim-
portant, but one in which the whole
is undeniably composite, in which
a single weak player could be -- to
use Mr. Butman’s analogy -- as
disastrous as a shy soloist in a
musical performance.

Bratman Asks More Cooperation

Between Colleges and Community

Mike Bratman, newly elected
president of the Haverford Stu-
dents’ Council, is making plans
to expand the interests onhis cam-
pus to include to a greater extent
both Bryn Mawr andthe two college
communities, |

In conjunction with Mr. Dana
Farnsworth’s stay on campus Mon-
day and Tuesday of next week,
Council will be looking at the var-
ious interpretations of their honor
system with the benefit of Mr.
Farnsworth’s experience with the
psychological problems and sexual
mores of college students. He
would. then like to continue this
discussion with Self-Gov. This
would be the first time the Haver-
ford Students’ Council has com-
municated with Self-Gov as well
as with Undergrad.

May Day weekend, if Bratman’s
plans materialize, will be.a prime
example of the new era of coopera-
tion in social matters, Alliance
and Social Action Committee on
each campus have now achieved,
he says, the degree of coordina-
tion for which the two social com-
mittees should strive, Bratman’s
main point is that the great major-
ity of the social affairs on both
campuses are directed toa limited
group. They qll generally involve a
rock-and-roll band, and judging by
the attendance, it is quite obvious
that this does not appeal to agreat
number of the students. Therefore,
Bratman would like to see both
social committees much more im-
aginative and creative.

His idea for the May Day week-
end illustrates this. Emphasizing
the bi-college part of the two days,
Saturday night would feature a
dance with three different kinds of

$600 Political Science Grants
Available for Honors Projects

Six-hundred dollar grants for
summer research in the general
field of public affairs will again be
available for selected prospective
seniors.

Students who have been or will
be invited to do honors and who
are planning projects in any area
related to ‘‘public affairs, gov-
ernmental and political processes
and public policies’? may submit
their applications or grants to-
gether with descriptions of their
research projects to:the faculty
committee in charge of the pro-
gram before April 1.

The chief purpose of the pro-
gram is to encourage greater in-
terest and competence in public
affairs by giving selected seniors
additional intensive research
experience and supplementary
training under close faculty super-
vision. During the senior year,
following a summer’s research,
grantees meet at least twice with
the faculty committee for, critical
review and guidance in their honors
projects over and above their work
with departmental advisors. Re-

search awards allow students to
extend both the scope and depth
of their projects considerably be-
yond what is feasible within an
academic year. The $600 stipends
may be used entirely at a grantee’s
discretion so long as they serve
the purpose of the approved
project.

Each project must have the sup-
port of a faculty member in the
major department who will serve
as ,advisor during the summer.

Terms of the program are
liberally defined to include any
problem related to governmental
and political processes and public
policies. Prospective honors stu-
dents in all departments are there-
fore invited to consider the pos-
sible eligibility of their projects.
All applicants, however, will be
expected to have some training in
the social sciences.

All interested students should
consult their department chairmen

and, Mr. Kennedy in the Political

Science Department, chairman of
the faculty committee, regarding
application details. —

bands on the Fieldhouse Parking
Lot witha steak dinner served from
dug-out barbeque pits on the edge
of the lot. This obviously involves
much planning anda certain amount
of money contributed from both
colleges.

The second area, that of increas-
ing communication and cooperation
with the colleges and the commun-

ity also has much potential. The?

overall goal Bratman is pursu-
ing is to encourage interest in,

education in culturally deprived
kids in this area. He would like
to do this by showing them that
we, as college students, are in-
terested in them. Two proposals
he has made are increasing the
tutoring program and having open
science demonstrations inour labs
for them. These plans could be
immensely expanded by being
followed up by both colleges work-
ing together. :

Tihany And DuBoff Disagree
On U.S. Position In Vietnam

by Nora Clearman, ‘67

Mr. Leslie Tihany, a Public
Affairs Official for the State De-
partment, spoke Monday night. on
United States policy in Vietnam.
Since Dean Rusk gave a lengthy
presentation of United States Pol-
icies at the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee hearings, Mr.
Tihany opened by briefly summar -
izing Rusk’s statement and dis-
cussion of it. He then proceeded
to speak on the history_of United
States involvement in South East
Asia, on the political importance
of Vietnam, and on the aims of
United States policy. Mr. Duboff
briefly commented on Mr, Tihany’s
remarks, was briefly answered by
Mr. Tihany, and the floor was
opened for discussion.

Mr. Tihany said that Southeast
Asia has become a ‘‘power vac-
uum?’ into which there was a rush
of hostile powers, which con-
stituted a great danger to the
security of the free world, The
United States is attempting to con-
fine these hostile powers at the
17th parallel, an obligation under
the SEATO pact, under which the
United States agreed to help stop
aggression to Southeast Asia, in
accordance with constitutional
powers. On United States aims,
Mr. Tihany said that we do not
propose to fight communism as an
ideology, but only to fight com-
munist imperialism. For example,
we give economic aid to
Yugoslavia, a non-imperialist
communist nation, Mr. Tihany also
explained the objections which the
United States had originally had

}

to the Geneva Accords. These’were
that the United Nations was not
called in (the International Con-
trol Commission of Poland, India,
and Canada was used instead),
and that the French included a
statement that elections held in
1956 would be in a reunified
Vietnam. The objection to the last
part is based on a philosophy
that an issue is to be decided by
elections, not prior to them.

As Mr. DuBoff said, the rest of
Mr. Tihany’s speech was largelya
somewhat sophisticated statement
of the ‘‘Domino Theory.’’ A little
sophistication can be seen in Mr,
Tihany’s distinction between im-
perialist and non-imperialist na-
tions. I think that the classifi-
cation is far too simple, however,
to be used as a major criterion
upon which to base a policy to-
ward communist nations. Mr. Du-
Boff also brought up the point that
many of the nations which are
considered ‘‘dominoes’’ do not
themselves feel the theory to be
valid, a point which was also ex-
plained by Mr. Rickett of the -
University of Pennsylvania in a
talk at Haverford on February
10th.

A major flaw in Mr. Tihany’s
presentation ,was the point that
elections shduld decide an issue,
instead of having that issue decided
as a precondition, It is my under-
standing that elections are held to
choose an official, not to decide a
question of partition, and further-
more, the reunification of Vietnam

Double Your Fund

One noteworthy item on the platforms of many of the Undergrad and
Big Six candidates this. year is the suggestion that Bryn Mawr increase
its student activities fee. At present, the fee is $11.00 (as compared to
Haverford’s $135') and is charged to Pay Day, along with the $3.00
contribution to the Undergrad Scholarship. :

The proposal to increase the fee is not unfeasible, and in the light of

‘this year’s minimal budget in the various organizations, neither is it
impractical -- that is, if we expect the people we elect to be able to

institute their plans.

To improve the span and spirit of student activites, let the current
fee be doubled to $22.00, Then, to avoid the undesirable and depressing
effect it would have as a Pay Day charge, let students be billed for
that amount (plus the $3.00 scholarship fee perhaps) in August, prior
to the beginning of the first Semester. Such 4 system would have two
benefits, First, each organization would have more money to work with
the first week of classes rather than after the first Pay Day returns.

Second, students could more easily afford the sum if it weren’t combineq,,

with other bills, and parents might even be sympathetic to the cause,

From smoker conversations and dinner system discussions, we are
aware that there are indeed students who would like to see the fruits of
an increased fee. We have heard suggestions that an art series, com-
parable to Haverford’s (though on a smaller scale) be set up; that
department clubs be put under Curriculum Committee, which. would
then have a budget and more status; or that Alliance have a large-scale

conference. The list goes on and on,

The question is, would students consider this new, still comparatively
small fee too much of an increase, evenconsidering its value in regards
to campus activities? We certainly hope Bryn Mawrters will’ consider
this proposal with its inevitable improvement of campus activities in

choice is very much to be regretted,

For what is the purpose of having an election issue at all? It is to
represent the candidates tothe student body in such a way as to facilitate
informed and intelligent voting. It is to display the individual views of
the candidates and their manners of expression insuch a form that they
can be readily studied and compared,

The three Curriculum Committee candidates stated their intention
of revealing their individual viewpoints, ideas, and.attributes through
the dinner system. This is to relegate their differences to so subordinate
a place that we must wonder at these three girls’ continuing to run

against each other rather than uniting to secure the election of one of.
their number or of another of the same stamp.

For surely these girls are aware of the limitations of the dinner
system, It is thus virtually a necessity, especially for freshmen to
whom not only many of the people but the whole procedure are un-
familiar, to have a means of reviewing and juxtaposing the candidates
and their particular and essential attributes, The collection of individual

platforms in the

COLLEGE NEWS provides such a means, and it is

much to be desired that all the candidates avail themselves of this
opportunity to fulfill their’ responsibility of making known both what
they would stand for and how, in what tone and spirit, they would stand

Liberal Spirit

The trattitional controversy between liberal arts and specialized
education reappeared in the news this week when Daniel Bell, a pro-
fessor of sociology at Columbia College, championed the cause of the
liberal arts. Appointed by the dean as a one-man committee, Mr. Bell
prepared a report disagreeing with Jacques Barzun, dean of Columbia
University’s graduate facilities. Mr. Barzun maintains that the. liberal
arts approach in education is expiring; Mr. Bell advocates strengthen-
ing of the liberal arts in college curricula,

The most significant feature of Mr. Bell's program is his call for
a ‘‘third tier’’ system. A student first gains a broad, cultural basis,
then concentrates on a single discipline, and finally relates his liberal
arts training to such issues of contemporary society as urban renewal

for it.

®

and world economy.

Mr. Bell's position strikes a responsive chord at Bryn Mawr, where
the educational philosophy of the college guides each student toward a
foundation in the liberal arts with attention in depth to her chosen field
of study. By the final years of college, however, when Mawrters begin
serious investigation of career possibilities, the familiar lament of
*‘unprepared for the world’’ rings out.

A liberal arts education is not, by nature, a course of vocational
training. It is a preparation of the student rather than a career-directed

curficulum.

For some, professional training will follow. For all,

personal enrichment’ and interest in the world should be the lasting
benefits for the. individual. What Mr. Bell suggests in his ‘‘third’tier’’
_....»plan_is no more than what every liberally educated student should per-



form for herself, throughout her life. Curriculum and professors may
shape her mind, but only she can exercise it to give value and purpose

to her college years.



LETTERS TO THE EDITOR]

En [Vlasse

To the Editor;

A few months ago Rose Pesotta,
a Bryn Mawr alumna, died at the
age of 69. In the obituaries it
was noted that she hadimmigrated
to the United “States from the Uk-
raine, joined the labor movement
here, and became active in the
International Ladies Garment
Workers Union, the League for
Mutual Aid, the Workmen’s Cir-
cle, the Worker’s Defeérise League,
the Jewish Labor Committee, and
Spanish Refugee Aid, She played
a major role in the CIO rubber
worker’s strike in Akron in 1936,
and in the UAW strikes against
General Motors. She had per-
sonally visited Sacco and Vanzetti
in prison, and worked on their be-
half. I happened, a few days ago,
to meet an alumna who had taught
Rose Pesotta, during a summer in-
stitute for women. factory workers
on this campus (!), and I thought
the following ancedote about Rose
might be of some interest.

It seems that one day Rose
came to my informant with acom-
plaint about the psychology course.
**But Rose, what’s wrong with the
course?’?

‘Oh, I like Prof. X all right,’’
replied Rosé, ‘And I enjoy learn-
ing about my nervous system and
my feelings, too. But look. I have
only one month here, and I have

a great deal to learn, In that one
month I’m. not so interested in
learning about my nervous sys-
tem and my feelings, What I want

to learn isHOW DO WE MOVE THE

“To thé Editor: ‘

Your editorial of February 25th

Opening lead: 10 of hearts.

‘ Most of the hands in this column
have dealt with bidding problems,
but not necessarily because it is
the most interesting or most dif-
ficult aspect of contract bridge. It
is just that bidding more often puts
the novice in the ‘‘what-do-I-do-
now’’ position than does the, play
itself. On the play itself, he either
sees a way to make it or he does
not, and barring errors, that is
that.

In this hand, the play seems
fairly obvious, and therein lies the
trap. The contract can be made,
but declarer must be far more

careful than he may be led to ~«

expect. ¢d

The opening lead was taken by
East’s_.king, and the ace was re-
turned, South trumped in his hand
and settled back to think. Withnine’
trump, the obvious move was pull
trumps quickly and then establish
a cross-ruff in diamonds and

hearts, But East had shown by his

ad

persistent bidding that he had a
very strong hand. He had at least
five hearts and perhaps six, four
diamonds to the ace, and a very
short suit in clubs or spades. The
double made it likely that hehelda
spade void or at most a singleton.

Assuming the worst, i.e. four
spades to the nine in West’s hand,
South counted his own tricks. If he
pulled trump, he had only the club
ace, one diamond, and the heart
queen for seven tricks. He did not
dare pull trump, since he could
only hope to make his contract by
cross-ruffing extensively.

South instead led a small diamond
to his king, and when East took
his ace and returned the club
king, he felt better. Had East held
six hearts. he would have known
his partner was void, and would
have led a heart. counting on East
having a trump that would set up
if South trumped high, otherwise
expecting his partner to trump the
heart. Reasoning this way, South
assumed East did not lead a heart
because he knew his partner still
held one, and therefore South was
Safe in taking his heart queen
through and sloughing a losing club.

This he did, and then returned
to his hand with the queen of
diamonds. A diamond ruff put him
back on the board, where it was now
safe to pull trump, ending up in
his hand and taking his good ten
of diamonds. His last club lost to
the queén, but he had made his
contract. And as the hands lay,

had he pulled even one round of:

trump at the beginning, he would
not have had enough to ruff; the
contract could not have been made
no matter how he played the rest
of the tricks.

ized to provide the students with
a broader knowledge of religions
other than their own through its
lecture series, as well as to pro-
mote stimulating questions leading
to discussion. We hope that our
lectures, discussion groups and
trips to churches such as the Greek
Orthodox Church will lead students
to think about their own religion
more seriously, and we have tried
to provide interested students with
the information they desire con-
cerning the churches. or syna-
gogues of-their choice.

Interfaith, therefore, is not
meant ‘to take the initiative in
organizing discussion groups for
specific religious denominations,
Once an interested group of stu-
dents decides to organize a group
from their particular faith, they
elect a representative to attend
the Interfaith meetings as a liaison
, between our group and theirs, In
this way, the school can maintain
its non-denominational policy and
at the same time encourage the
students ta take a more active
interest in their individual faiths.
_I-am delighted to know of the
interest in organizing a Jewish
Discussion. Group, and I sincerely
hope that next year’s Interfaith
can cooperate more effectively
with these groups. If I can help
anyone interested in this subject,
please let me know.

prepared a report disagreeing with Jacques Barzun, dean of Columbia
University’s graduate facilities. Mr. Barzun maintains that the. liberal
arts approach in education is expiring; Mr. Bell advocates strengthen-
ing of the liberal arts in college curricula,

The most significant feature of Mr. Bell's program is his call for
a ‘‘third tier’’ system. A student first gains a broad, cultural basis,
then concentrates on a single discipline, and finally relates his liberal
arts training to such issues of contemporary society as urban renewal

for it.

®

and world economy.

Mr. Bell's position strikes a responsive chord at Bryn Mawr, where
the educational philosophy of the college guides each student toward a
foundation in the liberal arts with attention in depth to her chosen field
of study. By the final years of college, however, when Mawrters begin
serious investigation of career possibilities, the familiar lament of
*‘unprepared for the world’’ rings out.

A liberal arts education is not, by nature, a course of vocational
training. It is a preparation of the student rather than a career-directed

curficulum.

For some, professional training will follow. For all,

personal enrichment’ and interest in the world should be the lasting
benefits for the. individual. What Mr. Bell suggests in his ‘‘third'tier’’

‘plan is no more than what every liberally educated student should per-

Se



form for herself, throughout her life. Curriculum and professors may
shape her mind, but only she can exercise it to give value and purpose

to her college years.



LETTERS TO THE EDITOR]

En [Vlasse

To the Editor;

A few months ago Rose Pesotta,
a Bryn Mawr alumna, died at the
age of 69. In the obituaries it
was noted that she hadimmigrated
to the United “States from the Uk-
raine, joined the labor movement
here, and became active in the
International Ladies Garment
Workers Union, the League for
Mutual Aid, the Workmen’s Cir-
cle, the Worker’s Defeérise League,
the Jewish Labor Committee, and
Spanish Refugee Aid, She played
a major role in the CIO rubber
worker’s strike in Akron in 1936,
and in the UAW strikes against
General Motors. She had per-
sonally visited Sacco and Vanzetti
in prison, and worked on their be-
half. I happened, a few days ago,
to meet an alumna who had taught
Rose Pesotta, during a summer in-
stitute for women. factory workers
on this campus (!), and I thought
the following ancedote about Rose
might be of some interest.

It seems that one day Rose
came to my informant with acom-
plaint about the psychology course.
**But Rose, what’s wrong with the
course?’?

‘Oh, I like Prof. X all right,’’
replied Rosé, ‘And I enjoy learn-
ing about my nervous system and
my feelings, too. But look. I have
only one month here, and I have

a great deal to learn, In that one
month I’m. not so interested in
learning about my nervous sys-
tem and my feelings, What I want

to learn isHOW DO WE MOVE THE

Your editorial of February 25th

‘ Most of the hands in this column
have dealt with bidding problems,
but not necessarily because it is
the most interesting or most dif-
ficult aspect of contract bridge. It
is just that bidding more often puts
the novice in the ‘‘what-do-I-do-
now’’ position than does the, play
itself. On the play itself, he either
sees a way to make it or he does
not, and barring errors, that is
that.

In this hand, the play seems
fairly obvious, and therein lies the
trap. The contract can be made,
but declarer must be far more

careful than he may be led to ~«

expect. ¢d

The opening lead was taken by
East’s_.king, and the ace was re-
turned, South trumped in his hand
and settled back to think. Withnine’
trump, the obvious move was pull
trumps quickly and then establish
a cross-ruff in diamonds and

hearts, But East had shown by his

ad

persistent bidding that he had a
very strong hand. He had at least
five hearts and perhaps six, four
diamonds to the ace, and a very
short suit in clubs or spades. The
double made it likely that hehelda
spade void or at most a singleton.

Assuming the worst, i.e. four
spades to the nine in West’s hand,
South counted his own tricks. If he
pulled trump, he had only the club
ace, one diamond, and the heart
queen for seven tricks. He did not
dare pull trump, since he could
only hope to make his contract by
cross-ruffing extensively.

South instead led a small diamond
to his king, and when East took
his ace and returned the club
king, he felt better. Had East held
six hearts. he would have known
his partner was void, and would
have led a heart. counting on East
having a trump that would set up
if South trumped high, otherwise
expecting his partner to trump the
heart. Reasoning this way, South
assumed East did not lead a heart
because he knew his partner still
held one, and therefore South was
Safe in taking his heart queen
through and sloughing a losing club.

This he did, and then returned
to his hand with the queen of
diamonds. A diamond ruff put him
back on the board, where it was now
safe to pull trump, ending up in
his hand and taking his good ten
of diamonds. His last club lost to
the queén, but he had made his
contract. And as the hands lay,

had he pulled even one round of:

trump at the beginning, he would
not have had enough to ruff; the
contract could not have been made
no matter how he played the rest
of the tricks.

ized to provide the students with
a broader knowledge of religions
other than their own through its
lecture series, as well as to pro-
mote stimulating questions leading
to discussion. We hope that our
lectures, discussion groups and
trips to churches such as the Greek
Orthodox Church will lead students
to think about their own religion
more seriously, and we have tried
to provide interested students with
the information they desire con-
cerning the churches. or syna-
gogues of-their choice.

Interfaith, therefore, is not
meant ‘to take the initiative in
organizing discussion groups for
specific religious denominations,
Once an interested group of stu-
dents decides to organize a group
from their particular faith, they
elect a representative to attend
the Interfaith meetings as a liaison
, between our group and theirs, In
this way, the school can maintain
its non-denominational policy and
at the same time encourage the
students ta take a more active
interest in their individual faiths.
_I-am delighted to know of the
interest in organizing a Jewish

hope that next year’s Interfaith
can cooperate more effectively
with these groups. If I can help

respect to the possibilities for pol-

‘the Arts Council! as a cultural
organization on campushasa myr-
iad of potential opportunities: I

’ certainly’ am_ not going to propose

an--artistic upheaval for the Bryn
Mawr campus but I do feel that
there are programs within the
realm of. possibility.. My greatest
concern is that Arts Council should
be a larger group of interested
people working together on proj-
ects, rather than a few inspired
people undertaking all creative en-
deavors. What I would like to see
accomplished is a coordinated set
of committees that would. be part
of the larger organization of Arts
Council. Instituting these divisions
would allow people to spend time
on activities in which they were
particularly interested. :

Now to be more concrete about
these committees--Skinner Work-
shop goes virtually uhused, Cer-
tainly there are people, not having
the time to devote to College
Theatre, who are interested in pre-
senting student-directed one-act
plays. This could be combined with
Haverford. This year the film
series has been quite successful.
Realizing that there is interest in
films during the week Arts Coun-
cil could have a representative film
committee to select the movies.
A coordinating art exhibit group
could also be arranged; the Roost
provides space for works of local
artists or student art. If we de-
cided to goreally ‘‘camp’’ we could
have children’s displays from
near-by grammar schools,

We should also have a speaker
next year. The Theater of the Liv-
ing Arts or the Philadelphia School
of Art could provide an interest-
ing artist. A dark room in Dalton
can also be used at' designated
hours for a Photography Club.

Another intriguing ideais a Bryn

‘Mawr Rock n’ Roll band. I’m not

sure u ic‘ tite the cultural thing
to do but Sunday afternoon im-
provisations might ~eally be fun!

In short, next year we’ve got to
get org nized!

presentations of cultural or
artistic interest are restricted to
a minimum for lack of funds,
The most successful source of
revenue, as well as of entertain-
ment has been the film series,
which “wiil be continued in the
coming year. Beyond that, hope-
fully with funds from an expand=
ing film series and an increased
budget, Arts Council could help
provide better, facilities for work
in the college art studio, such
as professional models for life
drawing classes, arid pottery and

ceramics materials, While I would
like to recommend as well the
complete freedom for students to
realize their creative impulses--
by painting their walls or the side-
walks or the trees--the Council
can realistically only encourage
Undergrad and the Administration
to provide more materials for the
studio, Working in conjunction with
Undergrad, Arts Council -rep-
resentatives: could conduct a sur-
vey among the students for re-
quests for such facilities; and
eventually provide opportunities
which do not as yet lie within
the scope of the curriculum, Arts
Council should as well urge greater
cooperation from the administra-
tion on such matters as college
provided transportation to the
rather inaccessible Barnes Foun-
dation Collection. Traditionally,
too, the Council will continue sea-
son ticket sales to the Academy
of Music, Arts Night, and student
art shows,

I would suggest as well a re-
vision -- if unofficial -- of the sys-
tem for electing representatives:
that is, encourage volunteer rep-
resentatives, rather than elected
ones, who are interested in acting
as efficient liaisons between the

programs which Arts Council
offers and the prospective
participants.

Ronnie Scharfman

The Arts Council, like all other
campus organizations, is in. dire
need of manifestation of that all-
encompassing panacea--coopera-
tion. The first coneern of Arts
Council, it. seems to me, should
be the promotion and provocation
of such cooperation,

Everybody I have spoken with has
ideas about what they don’t like
and what they want. The obvious
conclusion is that the Arts Council
Reps in every dorm must be more
than namesakes. I would like to
see them have more of a Say in
hall-meetings than announcing free
tickets available for concerts.
They should also meet more fre-
quently withthe Arts Council Pres-
ident.

The second step should be to-
wards our equally artistic minded
friends at Haverford. Combined

. brain-power, creativity, labor and
findnces can help us tremendously. ~

Lastly, we need economic co-
operation from the Administration
which, I have been told, ‘flows in
correspondence with one’s defined,
outlined program. The following,

then, is an outline of what I hope
will be Arts Council’s successes
for the year 1966-1967. If I be-
come President, they will certain-
ly be Arts Council’s objectives.

1. The Film..Series has been a
great success, It would be contin-
ued; and expanded, if possible, to
once a week showings of various
camps of camp.

2. Arts Council should provide
transportation on Saturday mor-
nings to the Barnes Foundation.
The school station wagons need not
be our only resource. After all,
we have a ‘‘bus’’ now, and- what
about all those cars at Bryn Mawr
and Haverford?

3. In the past years, student art
exhibits in the Roost have been
well-liked and well-attended. Arts
Council would sponsor one again.

4. We could certainly gather
enough material for a poetry com-
petition and, in conjuction with
Haverford, even go to press,

5. The bus which went to ‘the
theater in New York a few weeks
ago was very successful. Accord-
ing to the figures which I have
received from Haverford, such a
bus could plausibly transport Bryn
Mawr and Haverford fiends to the
Metropolitan Opera at a very rea-
sonable price.

6. Besides a subscription to the
Opera, the Philadelphia Orchestra
Concert subscriptions would be
continued - and expanded. Arts
Council would also try to get thea-
ter subscriptions at a discount, to
the Theater of the Living Arts,
for example.

7. To help ease the pain of ‘‘no
place to go,’’ Arts Council would
sponsor a monthly Friday-night
Hootenanny in the College Inn,
starring anyone and everyone from
here and Haverford who feels like
playing, singing or being enter-
tained.

8. Finally, many people are in-
terested in having various artists
speak about their respective medi-
ums. This would also serve to
inspire interest*in often wrongly-
neglected branches of Arts Coun-
cil, such as Dance Club.

Well, here’s to Us!

Marian Brown, Marcia

Young, Liz Schneider, Drewdie Gilpin.

Alliance as an effective instrument
for the promotion of knowledge of
social and political issues incom-
batting fear bred by ignorance.

The value of Alliance, as it
represents the ‘Alliance for Pol-

itical Affairs,’’ is that it functions
as a non-partisan organization
within whieh partisan elubs can.ax-
ist both independently and in asso-
ciation with groups holding other
views. : .

Alliance, then, should help its
constituent clubs to spread ideas
and information by acting as a
forum in which the various organi-
zations can find a common ground.
Ajliance representatives should be
used more efficiently by delegating
them to attend club meetings, bring
ideas back to the Alliance board,
and publicize all Alliance activ-
ities.

Finally, Alliance itself should
sponsor lecture series on topics of
general interest as away of arous-
ing more intensive thought and dis-
cussion than single lectures oniso-
lated topics can. I am very much
in favor of next year’s projected
conference on Automation, as well
as SAC’s proposed study groups
on ‘Social Change in America’’
and ‘‘The Origins and History of
the Cold War’? for this spring.

-Drewdie Gilpin

The role of Alliance on the Bryn

Mawr campus is a dual one in
that its function is to provide
opportunities both for political ed-
ucation, through speakers and
seminars sponsored by Alliance
itself or clubs within it, and for
political action, through the active
partisan programs of the Conser-
vative Club, SNCC, the Social
Action Committee, or other clubs
which are parts of Alliance,
: It is the responsibility and duty
of the Alliance President to co-
ordinate club activities and to plan
the general program of speakers
to relate at least in part to the
presentations and interests of the
clubs. Alliance should try to keep
both sides of a question repre-
sented in campus discussion the
Alliance President should also en-
courage the clubs to search for
outlets for long-term political
action..for their adherents, in-
volving them in more than asingle
demonstration.

Politics is in great part inter-
est and involvement in the govern-
ment. and general nature of the
community in which one finds one-
self. Therefore, I believe that Al-
liance, besides encouraging club
activity, should next year sponsor
a conference on the topic of higher
education in the United States to-
day. : :

The function of Alliancé;there-
fore, is to encourage discussion of
political issues by representing
both sides of a question, Not a
partisan group, Alliance should,

however, provide through the clubs,

opportunities for action for in-
dividuals with definite partisan
political interests.

a. Four Candidates Offer Programs

To Revitalize and Direct Alliance

Liz Schneider

Alliance has a multiple function
on the Bryn Mawr @campus--not
only should it serve as coordinator
and vehicle of those student groups
which are politically committed,
such as SAC, the Young Conserva-
‘tive Ciub; and SNCC, but it stiowid
present those who are uncommitted
.with. a wide range of programs,
from speakers to small discussion
groups, on topical issues, It should
express equally a wide range of
political outlooks through present-
ing. speakers and organizing semi-
nars on issues; yet there should
be some continuity in the choice of
speakers and seminars so that
many points of view on the same
issues may be expressed. Al-
liance’s goal should be to keep the
campus well-informed and inter-
ested, to create and maintain a
sense of political awareness,

As President of Alliance I would
encourage other seminars such as
those held on Vietnam, on such
issues _as the role of. the U.S, as
world powe® today, the develop-
ment of a New Right and New Left
in American party politics, andthe
Peking-Moscow split. The Monday
night series of speakers would be
continued, and I would hope to plan
a series of speakers whose topics
aré ‘related, followed by smaller
group discussions. Hopefully,
more prominent speakers would
be invited under joint sponsorship
with ‘Haverford and Swarthmore,
and further coordination with Hav-
erford and Swarthmore on semi-
nars and discussions Will also be
encouraged. Conferences will be
publicized and the possibility of
a conference at Bryn Mawr next
year will be investigated.

Alliance’s program should be di-
rected towards providing the stu-
dent with a wider range of op-
portunities to both inform and ex-
press herself politically. Through
Alliance,’ a community of politi-
cally aware and interested people
canbe developed at Bryn Mawr.

Marcia Young

As established, Alliance was a
sort of formal superstructure
meant to coordinate political
activities’ on campus. As I see
it now, it coordinates only the
Social Action Committee, I would
like to see through Alliance the
redevelopment of several political
groups expressing diverse opin-
ions and _ mobilizing student
opinion on current affairs, I think
that it is the responsibility of
anyone who is going to call him-
self intellectual or even intelligent
to not only be informed, but‘ to
have an opinion he is willing tog
act on in light of current happen-
ings. It is not the’province: of
Alliance to dictate views but to
act as a vehicle for their ex-
pression.

/ To. make it. easier for people

“to commit themselves, I think

the reactivation of the Young
Democrats and the Young Con-
servatives in addition to the con-
tinued activity of SAC is in order.
Through several such organiza-
tions the interests of all levels of
opinion could be reached as well
as providing a broader base of
general information and con-
sequently, I would hope more gen-
eral INTEREST and awareness on
campus, The response to the fast
was a good indication of what could
be, though it ought not take such
drama to evoke a response.

An academic ivory tower is a
bit unrealistic and is not gen-
erally a permanent habitation, I
won’t now .condemn the apathy,
Pll even give you the excuse that
there is not a choice in forms
of activity, The question is, if
Alliance supplies the choice, will
you meet the challenge and make
our campus alive. -- --

3 Curriculum Committee Candidates
Collaborate on Platform Propositions

As the present freshmen and
sophomores may or may not know,
the office of head of Curriculum
Committee became an elective,
rather than an appointive, office
only last year. This change was a
recognition of the potential use-
fulness of Curriculum Committee
to the Bryn Mawr community.
There are a number ofareas which
the ‘*Big, Five’’ does not cover,
areas vital to an efficient and
exciting academic atmosphere.
Over the next few years, Cur-
riculum Committee should broad-
en its responsibilities to include
these various areas.

One of Curriculum Committee’s
most important projects this year
was working with the faculty and
administration in planning the
calendar change for next year,
A small group of interested
students presented to the dorms
the different plans proposed by the
faculty and .administration and
from these dorm meetings took
back comments and suggestions to
Mrs. Marshall, This role of liaison
between faculty and administration
and the students is one which needs
to be expanded greatly. On the
one hand, we need a group of
students responsible. for con-

tinuously sampling campus opinion
on all relevant academic issues
and presenting these opinions to
the right people. If the -students
have an important academic con-
cern, it should reach the faculty



through the committee, as well as
through individual students, so that
the faculty knows how widespread
the feeling is and what plans have
been suggested to deal with this
concern, The committee is not a
substitute for individual com-
munication between faculty and
students, but rather a reinforce-
ment with the ability to speak for
more than one person,

On the other hand, the Com-
mittee should serve as a means
of informing the student body about
the current academic issues being
considered by the faculty. At the
moment too much _ information
comes through.rumor, largely in-
dependent of fact. We hope to
establish the Curriculum Com-
mittee as a responsible body with
the trust of faculty and administra-
tion, so that if issues need to be
presented and explained, the Com-
mittee can help.

A second area of responsibility
is that of providing more and
clearer information to the incom-
ing freshmen about courses and
requirements at Bryn Mawr, The
reading lists being prepared are
one step in this program, but other

steps. are’ necessary. The Cur-
riculum Committee tea in the fall
is in need of revision, as are the
information sheets sent out to
the freshmen over the summer,
Too many students miss op-
portunities to take certain courses
or consider certain majors be-
cause they don’t know about some

of the “‘informal’’ requirements ~

or the ‘‘usual’’ progressions in
various departments, ‘

In a broader outlook, however,
the Curriculum Committee has a
potential role Which is’ both -im-

portant and exciting, Often the
choice of a major is made with
inadequate knowledge 6f the im-
plications of that choice. Many
students do not know enough about
the work going on in the various
fields of study at Bryn Mawr. If
they want to know more, they do
not_know to whom to go for the
information that a current major
in the field can give, Curriculum
Committee can do’a lot to in-
crease knowledge about major
fields at Bryn Mawr, Its members
should know not only who is major-
ing in what field, but with what
particular interests: psychology
majors interested in child develop-
ment, chemistry majors interest-

ed in. biochemical research,
English majors’ interested in
journalism, Any freshman or

sophomore who wants to talk to
an upperclassman about a special
area in’a field should have a way
to find the right girl.

Curriculum Committee should
also have information akout major
fields in other colleges. They
should know who has taken courses
at Haverford, Penn, andthe various
summer” schools, so that other
students interested in these
courses can talk to them and find
out whether the courses. were
valuable. They should also know
how to find out where research
is being done in a particular area
to make. the selection of graduate
schools and post-graduation jobs

more informed.

Finally, Curriculum Committee
should be able to inform students
about special opportunities for
summer courses or summer jobs
in academic areas, It should sup-
plement the work of the Bureau
of Recommendations, especially in
the area of knowing whom to talk
to about a particular interest. Many
students do not khow the specific
qualifications for jobs, or what
courses to take to get them. How
much do I need to know to be a
lab assistant in a hospital? How

All this means that the Cur-
riculum Committee can and should
serve as a student center of in-
formation about all phases of
academic life. It needs to work

closely with the deans, the faculty,
and the majors in each depart-
ment to inform or advise students
about academic problems of a
general or personal nature.

much French had you had before
you got a job in France last sum-
mer? This kind of information,
plus information about deadlines
for various kinds of jobs and
application procedures, is the sort
of thing Curriculum Committee
should be able to provide,

In the dinner system, we want
to discuss our various specific
plans for Curriculum Committee,
We need a lot of information so
that work can begin right after
the elections. We will try to pro-
vide you with an idea of our ideas
and qualifications, but we willalso
need to know how you feel about
the issues we have outlined here.
What can be done to improve
Curriculum Committee’s contact
with the student body? Should its
membership be’ changed from the
present system of one girl from
each department? What sort of in-
formation did you need as an
entering Freshman that you did not
get, and of the information that
you did get, what*was the most
valuable? What other areas should
Curriculum Committee cover?

League Suggestions Submitted

By Candidates R
Ruth Rodisch

The activities of League may
be divided into three parts: 1) thc
speaker program; 2)charitable or-
ganizations; and 3) committees.
The importance of each one
changes with the interest of the
people ‘participating and with the
emphasis given by the president.
For each one of these activities
I have a particular concept of the
way it should be conducted,

I think the Speaker Program
reaches the potentially largest part
of the student body and for this
reason should inform the campus
of issues of social importance
through a. diversified program,
Charitable organizations would
probably receive the least em-
phasis because I feel that most of
its work -- except Campus Fund
Drive -- can be handled well with-
out the help of an organization,
The committees are extremely
important -- and varied, and should
be established to fill the interests
of the participants and not kept up
by ‘‘tradition’s decree.’’

The question probably arises,
‘‘What would you do differently
from anyone else?’ First, I would
ask for suggestions from the entire
student body for speakers before
arranging the program and then
plan ‘one which would include all
aspects of social issues with many
speakers; second, in the commit-
tees, I would advocate mainly two
things: 1) I would establish a way
of communicating to the campus



‘reps

odisch, Thomas

the work ui each committee and
provide ample opportunity for any-
one to participate (by adinner sys-
tem or open tea); and 2) I would
work toward establishing commit-
tees which would do the work the
campus was interested in,

In short, my program would
strive toward communication with
the student body on the work and
possibilities of League.

Peggy Thomas

I am running for the League
presidency because I would like
to expand its effectiveness in pro-
viding information to students con-
cerning social work ‘and giving
students the opportunity to help
the whole community through
League’s many volunteer projects.

The improvement of communi-
cations between the League board
and the whole student ‘body can
best be done through the close
and conscientious effort of the hall
in reporting back to their
dorms; This has not been the sit-
uation this year, but it can be
remedied.

The speakers program can well
be expanded, and I would like to
make a study of the newdirections
that social work is headed in this
society so concerned with equal
opportunity through lectures and
discussions.

A few of League’s committees
seem to be dying at present. If
they cannot be revived with new
interest next year, I would like
to see them dropped. Projects
could be started in areas where
we have not shown an active in-
terest in the last few years, We
could possibly work with pre-
school children, assist local Girl
Scout troops, or do anything you,
the student body, would like. If
anyone has an idea or a pet pro-
ject, I hope you will bring it to
the attention of the League board
this spring.

-

League should give every girl
on campus a chance to learn more
about present social problems and
provide an opportunity to help in

someway; Whether by working on .

a volunteer “project or by giving
books, money, or clothing to the
drives we can show that as col-
lege students we wan’ prove
the world in which we tive.

ivity combining a minimal amount
of skill with a maximum of fun,
This is a perfectly reasonable re-
quest,

Why couldn’t A.A,sponsor a jac
tournament. -- perhaps between
dorms? Or have faculty-student
volleyball games? Even more to
the point,. why shouldn’t A.A, take
on more of a _ social function?
Outing Club does a very good
job off campus, The rest ofA.A,
could do just as good a job right
here where an event would only
take up an‘afternoon rather than
a week end,

A.A, shouldn’t ignore the varsities
either, Our hockey team almgst
played Haverford’s soccer team
last fall, A mixed doubles tennis
tournament takes more time to
organize but is possible if teams
are interested,

A.A also needs publicity. Why
should you care about something
you never hear about? The lack of
spectators at games is discour-
aging to the team. [f coming varsity
games were listed in the paper
or if there was NEWScoverage at
games spectators might show up
and.cheer, There should definitely
be more communication between
the executive and the board, too.

Most of alleveryone should think
of A.A. as a friendly organization
they can help through participation
and suggestion. We need both, Even
an enthusiastic and dynamic board
can’t do anything without a public,
I can supply enthusiasm if you’ll
supply the support. t

Sue Orbeton

There is a demand on campus
for more recreative activities,
Several people have wanted to
start folk dance groups. Many
girls lament the passing of Sunday
afternoon volleyball, Those of us
who’ve bicycled out to Rhoads
farm enjoyed it - it’s too bad
more girls don’t know about it,
The recent A.A, skating party a-
roused much enthusiasm - why
not have one every winter month?

Sports are a relaxing change
from studying. They also provide
a casual way of doing things with
boys. Bryn Mawr could be a much
more energetic place, if someone
would spend time getting activities
organized, Because I believe there
is .potential for an active A,A,
I am eager to help it revive.
As an ‘officer of A;A,, I would
like to offer the following act-
ivities to the student body:
Swimming every Sunday afternoon,

a continuation of the present

program,

Vqlleyball or another co-ed sport
every Sunday afternoon.

Folk dancing Friday nights from
7:30 to 8:30, Swarthmore ‘joes

date after dancing.

of equipment for the department.
The instrument, a nuclear mag-

cost $38,500,

The N.S.F, grant was received
in December. The spectrometer
arrived here in late January, was

certain nuclei can absorb energy
from a radio-frequency source.

‘It’s Superman’ Bows To Batman;

Musical Is Pre-Broadway Flop

by Emily McDermott, "68

The play was 20 minutes late,
The audience was restless, Ah, but
then--the lights went out, the con-
ductor raised his hands ... and
the orchestra let out a burst of
cacophany that set the tone for
the rest of the evening. IT’S A
BIRD , IT’S A PLANE... IT’S
SUPERMAN is a pre-Broadway
flop. It has its moments, but they
are successfully smothered by the
overall deadness of the play.

After a promising first scene--
a bank robbery foiled by guess who
-- the play plods through a first act
that is devoid of plot, characteriza-
tion, and even of good satire. This
act is highlighted byatired vaude-
ville routine between Lois Lane and

Daily Planet columnist Max
Mencken and a Chinese acrobatic
act that rivals even Ed Sullivan,

The second act is a great im-
provement on the first, (Unfortun-
ately it is played toa much-deplet-
ed audience, ) The actors attempt to

weave together .all the threads.of...

the previously indiscernable plot,
All of a sudden it becomes apparent
that Superman’s destruction by that
evil ten-time-Nobel-Prize-loser
Dr. Abner Sedgwick is to be PSY-
CHOLOGICAL. Dr. Sedgwick,
played delightfully by Michael
O’Sullivan, convinces Superman
that whep his. parents sent him to
Earth from the _ soon-to-explode
planet of Krypton, it was an act
of rejection, and that all his good
deeds spring from his desire to
expiate his feelings of guilt. Dr.
Sedgwick forms an unholy alliance
with Max Mencken (the evil col-
umnist), and the Flying Lings (the
Chinese _acrobats,,. who. turn out

to be Commie rats in semi-dis-°

guise), But ‘of course, right and
might combine to conquer sickly
evil, and after a final POW! BAM!
ZONK! Superman and Lois- Lane
fly off together into the proverbial
sunset,

The acting in the play ranges
from general mediocrity to occa-
sional excellence. Bob Holiday (Su-
perman), although he has a better
bod than Batman, is nonetheless
dull, lifeless, and uninspiring, Jack
Cassidy (Max Mencken), billed as
the star of the show, is ‘a dis-
appointment: try as he may, he
cannot rise above the clichéed
character he portrays. The two
outstanding performers in the play
are Michael O’Sullivan-and-Linda

Lavin, as Sydney, Mencken’s put-
upon secretary. O’Sullivan makes
faces and cavorts clumsily around
the stage, making his introductory
song (‘*Revenge’’) a show-stopper
and breathing life into a second
vaudeville routine with Jack
Cassidy. Linda Lavin successfully
hams up an otherwise uninterest-
ing song (‘*Ooh, Do You Love
You!?’), and delivers one of the
play’s best lines: ‘*Max, I’ve been
OUT with Clark Kent, and HE’S
NO SUPERMAN,”’

IT’S SUPERMAN’s primary fail-
ure is in its inability to sustain
its humor, It is neither consistent-
ly subtle nor consistently slap-
stick, and as a result it stumbles
along somewhere in_ between,
plagued with scenes that are down-
right dull, One musical sequence
in particular--*‘It’s Super Nice,”’
followed by ‘*Doing Good’’--
attempts an effect not unlike that
of. the teenybopper..scene. in this
year’s Freshman Show; yet it ends
up looking like something out of
one of Fred Astaire’s earliest
(and most cloying) musicals, The
one really good touch of satire in

_the entire play is a filmed se-

quences-a parody on educational
films for grade-school ‘children:
Superman sits at a desk, leans
forward and addresses the audi-
ence earnestly: ‘*Kids--being Su-
perman is a full-time job ...”
and so on,

IT’S SUPERMAN has reportedly
undergone drastic script changes

~ since it first opened in Philadel-

phia. With further, even more
drastic cuts, it could be a success
in New York, As it is now, Pll
stick with Batman any day.

Art Series Ends
With Jose Greco

Jose Greco, the performer whose
name has become synonymous with
the best in Spanish dance, will
bring his company of dancers,
singers, and musicians to Haver -
ford College Thursday evening,
March 17,

The 8:30 performance in Roberts
Hall auditorium concludes the col-
lege’s 1965-66 Art Series,

For his fourteenth trans-conti-
nental tour, Greco has assembled
the largest company ever to tour
under his banner. The program
will feature Spain’s leading ex-
ponents of every mode of dance.

Heading the company will be
prima ballerina Lola DeRonda,
who has been with Greco since
1952, As in the past, the full
production has been choreographed
by Greco, who also is responsible
for designing the scenic back-
grounds,

Tickets -- all seats are by
reservation -- may be obtained
from the box office at Haverford
College.

Doorkeepers Can
Help Economize

In light of the recent encourage- .

ment to help the college save
money, doorkeepers are advised to
turn offallunnecessary lights when
they lock up at 12:30, or at least
to remind people who are up not
to leave lights burning all night.

Another way money can be
saved is by informing the dining
room of meals that will be missed.
Students can sign up by Thursday
night if they will not eat Saturday
lunch, Saturday dinner, or Sunday
dinner, the major weekend. meals,
at the college. The dining room
can then plan accordingly.

Popie Johns, president of Under-
grad, feels that if students are
careful and make a little effort,
waste can be eliminated, Though
these methods of saving money
seem picky, they can benefit the
entire college if students cooper-
ate,

Munson Hicks Is ‘Over the Hill’;
Jrs. To Win H’ford Class Night

Haverford’s class night is, ac-
cording to Chuck Hardy, co-writer
of the juniors’ play, and Rich
Gartner, assistant director. in
charge of production, medical aid
and food for the juniors, going to
be won by the Class of 1967,

The seniors have won each year
since 1958, but the juniors are
determined to capture the prize
this year. For one thing, the
.sneaky juniors report that from
their view, the seniors’ play can
be summed by saying ‘*Munson
Hicks is over the hill,’’? Their
own play, however, they sum up
by prophesying that the 45 min-
utes the audience spends seeing
their play will bring ‘‘concentrated
moments of passion (such as) man
spends his entire eternity

For Countries In South Asia

was not an issue at all when the
Geneva Accords were signed. Mr.
Thompson, of the Haverford philo-
sophy department, brought up these
points, but’ Mr. Tihany utterly
failed to answer them.

One of the most serious and
dangerous aspects of the war was
brought out by Mr. Tihany’s re-
peated assertions that the United
States is obligated by the SEATO
pact to stop aggression, IN AC-
CORDANCE WITH CONSTITU-

TIONAL PROCESSES, When ask-
ed_ what these constitutional pro-

cesses were, he replied that they
were the right of the president of
the United States as commander-
in-chief of the armed forces to
use these armed forces, and that
the president was backed by Con-
gress. Mr. Thompson’ asked
whether “such a large number of
troops had ever before been used
without a declaration of war, which
must be passed by a formal vote





in’ Congress, and Mr, Tihany said
no. We are therefore now engaged
in the largest war we have ever
been engaged in without a de-
claration of war. The trendtoward
disposing of the powers of Con-:
gress to declare war seems ex-
tremely dangerous,

There were many. other state-
ments made by Mr. Tihany which
I find questionable, but these were
of such a nature that they were
neither provable nor disprovable,
so the listener can only judge on
the basis of his previous pre-
judices. For this reason, the dis-
cussion, although lively, probably
affected in no way the prior opin-
ions of the audience. The speaker,
I_was pleased to see, drew many
more members of the Bryn Mawr
staff and faculty, and more stu-
dents who support United States
policy in. Vietnam, than have most
of the other discussions and

speakers on Vietnam in the past
few weeks.

Rock Food

Dear Miss McBride,

Inevitably, in any institution, one
hears numerous complaints about
the quality of the food. With or
without foundation as these com-
plaints may be, they are generally
looked upon as a characteristic of
college students, and as such, are
ignored. Most of us will accept
the fact that it is impossible to
prepare and serve haute cuisine
for large numbers of people, re-
gardless of the quality of food
which the college buys. Although
we know that much of our fried
foods are cooked (and served) in
lard, instead of the cooking oil
provided, that ‘‘fresh’’ greens ac-
tually sit in crates in hot kitchens
for, often, a day or two, and are
seldom washed, and that great
quantities of onions are frequently
added to tuna and chicken salads
to. *fextend’’ them, where celery
(if not tuna) would actomplish the
same result; we have resigned our=
selves to eating what is put before
us.

These shortcomings are neither
the fault ‘of the dietician nor of
the food budget; they are the fault
of the kitchens. Ignoring (if it is
possible to do so). the unsanitary
conditions of many of the kitchens
(that, for example, ‘‘clean’’ cook-
ing utensils will sometimes yield
a grey layer of grease and dirt,
to a paper towel wiped across them;
that the floors and counters aro
often unwashed; that the grills
usually have in evidence tokens
of food that has been cooked on
them two and three days before..!)
I would like to comment gn what
actually arrives at the table.
During the year and a*half that
I have been here, I have found
the following items in my food:
hair (not just occasional strands,
but entire snarled hunks); cigarette
butts; insects (both flies and
weevils); broken glass (for which
cuts I had to be treated by a
dentist); and, as of today (Sunday),
a well-worn bandaid. I willbe gen-
erous and dismiss the dirty stir-
ring spoon in’ the water pitcher,
and frequently unwashed silver-
ware and dishes as unavoidable
accidents in a large kitchen. If
these things, and more, are
DISCOVERED - how much more
do we eat, unawares?

I think that I may safely speak
for the entire student body -- cer-
tainly for those of us in Rocke-
feller, indemanding that something
be done by the college to correct
the carelessness of the cooks and
the help in this area, If immediate
action is not evidenced by the state
of. our food, we shall be forced to
call the matter -to the attention of
The Board of Public Health.

Write-In

I am running as a write-in can-
didate for chairman of Curriculum
Committee. My decision to do so
was prompted by the striking pas-
sivity and similarity of the views
expressed by the other candidates,
and my strong disagreement with
their point of view.

As I see it, the driving purpose
of. Curriculum Committee sk6uld”
be to create an effective channel
of communication between student
opinion on the academic curricu-
lum and the faculty, The student
opinion on these matters has been
ineffectively expressed, and when
expressed, has not been given
sufficient consideration by the fac-
ulty as a body. Granted, we are
**transients’’ here for only four
years, but this is not sufficient
reason for denying the student as
such a recognized status and voice
when the academic affairs of the
college are under consideration,

The unique advantage of having
Curriculum Committee assume
this role is that it represents the
entire and continuing body of stu-
dent opinion, Departmeftt majors
alone cannot help but deal with the
problems on a more personal and
specific level. In their approach
the proper weight of the problems
is felt by neither the body of the
faculty nor the students, and the
proper perspective is lacking.

I believe :that the responsibility

of establishing meaningful com-<

munication with the faculty as a
whole rests with the students, We
cannot expect to be recognized by
them until. we show that we are
not only concerned, but even more
important) determined to be heard.
I would work for this communi-
cation on a face to face basis:
for example, set up regular stu-
dent-faculty committee meetings
to discuss both problems and sug-
gestions. I do not think that past
committees have put forth the
greatest possible efforts in this
direction, and I find it difficult
to believe that the faculty would
not respond favorably to such ef-
forts.

The responsibility and initiative
lie with us, the students. It’s time
we accepted it.

Of Sarah Lawrence Conference

by Hilary Hosmer, '67

What -is the probability of a
Third World War occuring under
the present anarchic system of
world order? Is a rational world
order possible? Is some sort of
world government inevitable? How
can the ‘‘right’’ sort of world
system be:,achieved?

Toby Williams, Dorothy Hudig,
and myself discussed these issues
at a world law conference atSarah
Lawrence College from February
11-13 with students from Amherst,
Brandeis, Columbia, Harvard,
Princeton and the University of
Rhode Island.

Professor Lusky, Dean of the
Columbia Law School, chaired the
conference with Richard Barnet.
Friday night they considered the
basic differences between inter-
national law and a world law sys-
tem, then turned the floor over
to Norman Cousins, editor of the
SATURDAY REVIEW. Mr. Cou-
sins, convinced that some sort of
world government is inevitable,
argued for the ‘‘right’’ kind of
world law, one that would protect
imdividuality and diversity.

Saturday morning, His Excell-
ency Rossides, Ambassador from
Cyprus to the Uhited States and
to the United Nations,. started to
speak on small-nation support of
a stronger United Nations and was
drawn off onto a philosophical dis-
cussion of the nature of justice.
Later that day Mrs. Arthur Lall,
a member of the U.S, Arms Con-
trol Committee, talked on part-
icular articles of the United Nat-
ions Charter that needed revision,
She called for the admittance of Red
China to the United Nations, the
repeal of the Connally Reservation,
and other items.

Professor Lusky concluded fhe
lectures by enumerating the en-
ormous problems involved in inst-
ituting-world-law.He-pointed- put
that the fear of legislative in-
justice would probably deter a good
many nations from _ submitting
themselves to an organization with
anything more than human survival
as its object. Yet, if survival is
the only object, people might not

take up world law until destruction

‘is upon them, He noted, too, that

it is generally agreed that the law
must provide justice but that it is
difficult to get anyone to agree on
a definition of justice. Democracies
would demand a Bill of Rights to
protect individuals and private
ownership of property before join-
ing any global system, Totalitarian
régimes might balk at giving their
peoples such rights.

Student discussion ensued. The
ideas were so interesting and the
conclusions so: vague, the confer-
ence ended with the establishment
of a committee to hold a second
conference in April at Columbia
University in New York. The gen-
eral sentiment seémed tobe that
order on a global scale may be
impossible without a major war to
tear down the existing power
structures. Nevertheless, world
law is the best way of preventing

nuclear holocaust, and the des-

truction of the human race, Sur-
vival is worth fighting for.



by Dorothy Hudig, '68

For me the most interesting part
of the world law conference was the
discussion between the _ guest
speaker, Zenon Rossides, UN am-
bassador for Cyprus, and the stu-
dent delegation, The discussion
brought into focus three major
contrasts: fterpretations of the
foundation of world law; the con-
trasts between East and West; and
the contrast between generations.

The discussion arose during
questioning of Mr. Rossides’ pro-
posal for a small, permanent UN
Peace Force. The Force would be
used at the invitation of small
countries to establish cease-fire
‘conditions; and, by being truly
international in context, avoid sit-
uations like the placement of
Greek, Turkish, and English troops
in Cyprus. Mr. Rossides hoped
that as the Force gained the con-
fidence of the: world, the major
powers would employ the body to
enforce disarmament and a world
law system. The student question
was: From where would world
law originate?

Mr. Rossidés responded that the
concept of world law comes through



ee Study in



‘enlightened patriotism’’ as part
of the ‘‘thirst for survival.’’ World
law would be ‘‘natural law,’’ in
keeping with the ‘‘moral flow of
the universe,’’ and be part of
the evolution of the hierarchy of
objects of unselfishness. ‘‘Natural
justice’? can be seen by the dis-
intefested’’...denying its existence
is ‘‘like saying there is no con-
cept of balance.’’

The student delegation totally
rejected the concept of ‘‘natural
justice.’’ To them it was incom-
prehensible and _ unacceptable.
Their contrasting interpretation of
law and justice was one of constant
balance between purely arbitrary,
conflicting views: ‘no absolute
standard existed.

A contrast between the East and
West appeared during the dis-
eussion of ‘enlightened pat-
riotism.’’ A Greek student had to
check the ambassador by saying
the American citizen could not
be expected to demonstrate ‘‘world
citizenship’’: the ambassador was
erroneously operating on the as-
sumption that Americans like
Easterners and Europeans placed a
loyalty to their country above per-
sonal interests and family.

The contrast of generations was
awkward: neither Side could under -'
stand the other’s interpretation,
and both were bewildered by the
rift in understanding that persisted
after explanation,

Neither could see that the inter -
pretations of the development of
law were interpretations of the
foundation of innovation as either
man’s arbitrariness, or the ev-
olution of a natural organism. Both
are ‘‘operative ideals,’’ one hasto
question whether using a pure ideal
might yield a better result.
