Change in Driving Privileges

Legislature will discuss sweep-
ing changes in the driving rule at
its opening session November 30.
According to Self-Gov President

: +Emily Bardack, the projected re-

visions would permit all students
to drive in the college area,

The difffculty lies in finding
Space for keeping cars. Since very
‘little room “is’ available “both” on‘
campus or in the neighborhood,
limits on the students allowed to
keep ears would be necessary.

If possible, a limit outside of”

“which... anyone..could. park..a car
might be established. Students re-

turning to schoo! late at night might
receive special permission in ad-
vance to park on ‘campus, This
permission would carry the stipu-
lation that the car be removed by
8:30 a.m. the next morning.

Girls with cars would register
with Executive Board and receive
stickers for their cars. It would
be necessary for students to reg-
ister cars before bringing them
to school. ‘When registering, stu-
dents would have to inform the
Board where they plan to keep
their cars.

If these revisions are passed
by. legislature, they would ‘demand
a great deal of planning and ar-
rangement. The measures probably _
could’ not go into effect until at”
least second semester. °

Bessinger to Read

Old English Poetry

‘Jess B, Bessinger, Jr., Profes-

sor of English at N.Y.U., will chant :

Anglo-Saxon poetry to his own
harp accompaniment as part of his
lecture, ‘‘The Sutton Hoo Harp; Old
English Poetry and Music,’’ Tues-
day, December 1 in the Common
Room at 8:30.

Mr. Bessinger will show the use

of the harp.in various kinds of Old

English poetry. Asin Greek poetry,

the harp brings out the lyric,

elegaic or heroic qualities of the
chanted poem. r
Modern English translations of

the poems will be.provided for.

those attending the lecture since
*tspoken Anglo-Saxon is difficult
to follow.’’

The Sutton Hoo harp used by]

Bessinger is.modeled on one fo a

in-.an Anglo-Saxon burial ship at
Sutton Hvo, England, It has six
strings.

Mf. Bessinger has made records
of his poetry reading to Sutton Hoo
harp accompaniment and is prob-
ably as close as anyone in the
twentieth century | to an Anglo-Saxon
minstrel. te

‘Mr. Bessinger’s lecture should.
be entertaining for anyone who ©
_enjoys poetry,’’ says Robert Bur-

lin; professor of Old Englishhere,
‘It is not, by any means, strictly
for the student of Anglo-Saxon.”’

The lecture is sponsored by the
Class of .1902. .

The proposal suggests that spe-

tions... who..need..cars. for. group
purposes and students who require

transportation for work on honors

The formation of a local chap-
ter of the Students for a Demo-
cratic Society was discussed by
interested students on Wednesday,

involved with both Swarthmore and
Haverford in working to organize
blocks and housing projects in
South Philadelphia. Both Swarth-
and Haverford are legally affiliated
with the national SDS. The Bryn
Mawr contingent largely as a result
of Jeanne Trubeck’s leadership,
now feels that it too is
accomplishing enough to join
SDS on a formal basis.

s Hindemith’s Requiem Will Mark

By Nanette Holben
Paul Hindemith moves with

dence,

‘¢When Lilacs Last in the Door-
yard Bloom’d,’’ Hindemith’s Re-
quiem ‘For Those We Love’’
patterned ‘on the Whitman poem,
will be dedicated to the late Pres-
ident’s memory November 22, the
first anniversary of his death.

Professor Robert L. Goodale
will conduct the program at 8p.m.
in Goodhart Hall, where the Bryn:
Mawr Chorus, the Haverford Glee
Club and the joint’ Orchestra will
perform. Mezzo-soprano Ethelwyn

- Whitmore and baritone Mae Mor-

gan will be soloists.

Having studied with Hindemith
at Yale, Mr. Goodale interpreted
the composer’s technique at a
workshop Tuesday. ‘‘Hindemith is
neither Bach,\ nor, Beethoven, nor
Brahms,’’?. he ‘began. ‘‘He can’t
even be called contemporary any-
more, but his work should be taken
at face value’as when composers
of other eras are studied.’’

—trindemith approaches the sow

spectrum by revolving his music
around a particular note, rather

than a chord, Mr. Goodale ex- -

plained. ‘‘The way in which he uses
traditional music is distinctive;
otherwise he wouldn’t be fulfilling
his destiny as a great composer.’’

Whitman wrote his poem as a
tribute to Lincoln; Hindemith wrote
his Requiem as a tribute to Frank-
lin’ Roosevelt. Mr. Goodale ex-
plained the composer’s flight from
Nazi Germany as his reason for

‘adulation of the President of Amer- ,
ica, and he stressed the combina- |

tion of. Whitman and Hindemith |

Hindemith’s work has 11 sec-

marches and arias, The one.sym-
bol he particularly dwells upon
is ‘the bird, identified by a re-
scu@ring ‘‘cuckeo-like’’ chord.

According to Director Connie

Connie expressed regret at the

several cast members from.Bryn
Mawr and Haverford were involved
in ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

after iast weekend.

Connie said that she and the
cast decided to postpone the pro-

Connie explained that in order

to produce a smooth performance

anticipated is needed.

‘“‘we felt that. postponing the

November 22,1963

‘ year ago today this ‘country had relatively little cause to mourn,
Less than a week later, we were plunged into a nightmare by events
which seemed anachronistic in their savagery. The collapse of orderly
democratic processes left a nation in horror and. shock. Most terrifying
was the brutal succession of murders committed while representatives
of our system of law and ‘order stood by impotent.



*

We mourn the death of John F. Kennedy, not only as a United States
President, but also as a great and vital man, We also mourn the deaths
of Dallas Policeman Tippets and of Lee. Harvey .Oswald. This last
murder evokes in us the greatest shame.-In this act lay the blatant
mockery of American justice, and from it arosethe mystery which still
shrouds the assassination of the President.

This miscarriage of justice ‘is the tragedy we mourn today. We feel
that this point has been missed by the greater part of the nation’s press
in their near deification of the late President and their tasteless spot-
lighting of his widow. If we are togrieve for one widow we are to grieve

for three.

’ A year has passed and itistime to place the events of those four days
in perspective. A year is time enough for us to forget, and time enough
to remember. — ;

death. It makes Sartre proper. A

. Philosopher as moralist and critic

ought never to be proper.
Sartre-was cited for ‘‘imagina-
tive writing, which by reason of its
spirit of freedom and striving for
truth has exercised afar-reaching
influence on our age.’ The citation
also said, ‘‘deliberately contro-
versial and ready to give battle, he
carries on the great French his-

* torical tradition, that of moralists

who criticize society.’’

This great tradition is not lim-
ited to the French. Moral criticism
of society is one of the essential
tasks of the philosopher.

As: a. moralist who is critical of

society he plays the role of sub-

_versive iconoclast. He is an ex-

ample of his own ethical doctrine
of engagement. He is passionately
invotved ir tit social and political

movements of his time. He is the
engaged philosopher, immersed in

the intellectual dialogue of his day
in the quest for whatever meaning
there may be.

He has shown us that man brings
values .and goals into the world.
Since dialogue concerning values

and creation of them is of vital

importance to the world, it is ap-

propriate that Sartre should be

ballet are full of vitality (theatre seats start at 70¢ ). Two %
