Conservative Club Assembles,
Arranges Lecture Next Week

Dr. Ronald McArthur, a pro-
fessor at St. Mary’s College in
California, will be speaking at
the first lecture of Bryn Mawr’s
Conservative Club at 7:30 Mon-
day in the Common Room.

His topic is ‘‘Plato and the

Closed Society: the Case for Cen-"

sorship.’’ Cathy Sims, one of.the
four members of the hitherto in-
active Conservative Club, hopes
that students of more liberal per-
suasion will also attend. She said
that he is not a member of the
John Birch Society and that there
ought to be enough. to discuss with-
out. getting into a fight. ea

The Club, which meets occasion-
ally and informally, ent of
Cathy, Susan Rotroff, Heidi Wilson

and Debbie Bernstein. They were
contacted some time ago by the
Intercollegiate Society of Individ-
ualists, which publishes the IN-
TERCOLLEGIATE REVIEW, ‘‘a
good conservative magazine’’ ac-
cording to Cathy. They also offer
speakers to Conservative Clubs in
distress, because they realize that
today . such organizations are
having troubles on many campuses,

Several weeks ago Cathy was
visiting the Rosemont Con-
servative Club which was worried
about its membership, The Rose-

mont Club had-only 40 people at -

the meeting. Cathy said that she
was too embarrassed to say that
Bryn Mawr only has four.

In Self-Gov,



Margaret Edwards visits
election cam-paine

Elections for the presidency of
,each major organization on campus
ended Monday night, with Jane
Janover emerging as Self-Gov head
and Margaret Edwards winning the
Undergrad leadership.

Next years’s president of Inter-
faith is Madeleine Sloane, who
ran unopposed, and Lynne Meadow
will head Arts Council.

Alliance’s new leader is Drewdie
Gilpin, while Curriculum Com-
mittee will be directed by Joan
Cavallaro.

Undergrad Meeting Deliberates

On Analysis of

Plans for the proposed bi-col-
lege. May Day weekend, constit-
utional changes relating to the
newly organized Social Committee,
and freshman reactions to this
year’s Hell Week were among
business, discussed at the Under-
grad meeting Monday night.

Drewdie Gilpin, president of the
sophomore class, reported on
freshman and sophomore reactions
to Hell Week, which she had dis-
cussed with hall reps at a meeting
three weeks ago. Generally she
found the changes made from last
year’s Hell Week--two days
instead of three, and a ban on
off-campus activities -- were well
received, although the last was
not always strictly enforced.

There was some call for ‘¢‘more
hell’? -- Pem West freshmen
especially felt they should have
been given ‘‘more drudgery’ to
fill up free time -- and less ‘‘crea-
tive’? activity, Otherwise, Drewdie
emphasized the great importance
of all-campus regulations on Hell
Week, upper-class sympathy -- the
junior teas were especially ap-
preciated--and also more pub-
licity about Hell Week beforehand,
comprising more than dark
threats,

The Council discussed a number
of problems still: to be decided
by next year’s sophomores: the
advisability of assigning group or
individual punishments, both of
which seem to have worked well

in various circumstances; and the

question -of what to do with non-
participants, who should not be
socially ostracized. They agreed
that the desired middle ground
between exasperation and enjoy-
ment for Hell Week was possible
though difficult to find.

Following the suggestions of
flavertord Students’ Council Pres-
ident Mike Bratman, May Day
weekend (April 29-30) will include.
a concert by bluegrass’ singer
Bill Monroe on Friday night, and
a barbecue inthe Fieldhouse Park-
ing Lot on Saturday night. A jazz

"66 Hell Week

band would be hired to play during
the early part of the evening,
and a _rock-and-roll_band—later,
Afternoon sports events and even
a hayride may also be organized.
This schedule is designed to at-
tract a wider group of participants
than the usual elaborate and ap-
parently far more expensive boat
ride with a large dance orchestra,
or rock and roll concert only;
last year Fats Domino played for
a high price to a small audience.

Undergrad will try to raise $300
for ‘the project, and will charge
couples $5.00 for all weekend ac-
tivities, Popie Johns mentioned that
it will also be possible to ask dates
down, who can stay at Haverford
through the arrangements of the
colleges’ Social Committees.

Flag at Half- Mast
For Ala. Deaths

Bill McNeil, Haverford Students’
Council Secretary, has issued a
statement explaining the lowering
of the flag Saturday, March 12,
Haverford, along -wil.: several
other schools in the country are
flying the flag at half-mast during
the day in order to remind the
students of ‘‘the tragedy of racial
discrimination in the South.’’

The 12th is the anniversary of
the Reverend James Reeb’s death
in Selma, Alabama last year.
Jimmie Lee Jacksun was killed
two weeks earlier, also in Selma,
and Mrs. Viola Gregg Liuzzo was
killed in Lowndes County, Ala-
bama, March 25, 1965,

The Haverford statement says
in part; ‘‘Last year several brave
persons died because of their par-
ticipation in.demonstrations pro-
testing racial discrimination.
Through their deaths, the tragedy
‘of racial _discrimination-in- the
South was forcefully demonstrated
to the nation’s people. . .Their
deaths, and the sacrifices of many
others, should be remembered.’’

Undergrad

Jane Janover in the infirmary after the

Peggy Thomas is the new League
president, and Lola Atwood will
assume the executive post in Ath-
letic Association.

Included in Jane Janover’s plat-
form was a reaffirmation of the
concept of dual responsibility: the
willingness of the student to abi le
by the rules of the college com-
munity, and the responsibility of
the Self-Gov officers to see that
these rules are upheld,

She plans primarily to work for
a greater involvement of the stu-
dent body in self-government, and
to cultivate among the students
a responsibility to the coliege com-
munity.

Margaret Edw ids’ new pos-
ition, she feels, is that of an in-
novator. €.ie hopes to be able to
make students more aware of the
discussions of various committees
by having their-reports published.
Since she was president of Arts
Council this year, sheis well aware
of both the financial problems
of these committees and the need
for greater organization of campus
activities. Thus Margaret plans to
pursue the question of an increased
student activities fee.

Competing for the office of Self-
Gov vice president will be Emily
Singer, Mary Delaney, and Susan
Harrah,

Contenders for the Self-Gov sec-
retarial post are Beth Chadwick,
Liz Thacher and Sue Nosco.

Due to ties in voting, five in-
stead of four candidates will be
running for First Sophomore to
Self-Gov: Fern Hunt, Esther Stef-
ansky, Judy Liskin, Jane Orbeton,
and Martha Taft.

N° inated for the vice pres-

dency of Undergrad are Sarah
*Tatthews, Bev Lange and Susan
Klau. .
Running for secret .ry of Under -
grad are Myra Skluth, Bonnie
Cunningham, Andy Marks, andJean
Wilson.

Cabbs Denton, current vice
president of Undergrad and co-
ordinator of the election system,
pointed out that the losers of the
Undergrad and Self-Gov elections
were eligible to run for the other
offices in their respective organ-
izations, but all refused.

She also commented that the
method of nominations used this
year might undergo some kind of
improvement next year. They took
place February 20-21 within one
day, and although this system saved
a week of holding nominations,
some halls did not realize that
nominations were open simul-
taneously for all of the organ-
~“{Zatfons, Thus she suggests that
next year either the publicity be
improved or that the nominations
again be spread out over a longer
period,

Self-Gov's Statement

A few weeks ago, Self-Gov delivered a statement via hall meetings
that the use of marijuana is a violationof the discredit clause and would
be dealt with severely. Ordinarily, Self-Gov prefers not to make such
statements at all, says its president Allie McDowell, and this one was
**very experimental,”’

Allie’s contention is that hall presidents should be strong enough to
realize they have Self-Gov’s support without a specific statement, such
that they can return to their dorms and handle the problems as spokes-
men for the general principles of the honor system, In the long run,
statement or not, Self-Gov can only check discredit problems verbally
in order to change a student’s attitude,

‘We are inclined to agree with Allie that Self-Gov’s responsibility



-lies—in-creating~in its-ipso-facto- members an attitude of respect for

the welfare of other members of the college community; actions of an
individual which may be dangerous to her neighbors by common sense
should be discontinued, In the case of marijuana, several students have
questioned why Self-Gov would specifically protest the use of it and not
of alcohol; however, if the March 11 TIME magazine (page 44) will
qualify as a source, marijuana can presuppose ‘‘graduation’”’ to bigger
and bitter things. To introduce someone to the use of marijuana, then,
is dangerous; alcohol and sex, on the other hand, are more individually
and consciously controllable.

In any event, Self-Gov has issued a statement against marijuana; it
is unfortunate both that the problem exists, since students should
realize their responsibilities, and that a statement needed to be made
for the moral support of hall presidents. Perhaps this experimental
statement will serve to awaken the student body to the principle behind
it, and to show hall presidents that they have the tacit support of Self-
Gov when it comes to handling obviously detrimental problems.

In the near future, Mrs. Marshall plans to set up some system for
discussing the role of Self-Gov with the student body, hopefully dorm
by dorm. In the light of Self-Gov’s recent statement and the question of
its necessity, we hope each Bryn Mawrter will use the opportunity to
re-define her own role as a mémber of Bryn Mawr’s unique honor

system, r -
It Figures

Figures, in the case of Woodrow Wilson Fellowships, are very
important considerations, (This fact is NOT the reason why women
received only one third of the 1,408 awards.) In speaking of figures,
we intend to prove exactly how much the six Bryn Mawr winners are
to be congratulated.

Haverford won 11 fellowships (with a student body of 525) and Prince-
ton won 24 (with a student body of some 3,000), Bryn Mawr’s population
stands between these two men’s schools (much to the dismay of the
latter one, but this, too, has nothing to do with figures) with about 700.
Haverford has 240,000 books in its library, Bryn Mawr has 310,000,
and Princeton has three million, although we really don’t know. Also,
Haverford pays its janitors $1.40 an hour. (Therefore, it is better to be
a janitor at Haverford than a student waitress here.)

With these numbers in mind, we can calculate that Bryn Mawr won
a little more than half the number of fellowships as did Haverford, and
exactly one quarter as many as did Princeton. Since Princeton’s senior
class is more than four times bigger thanours, Bryn Mawr actually won
more Wilsons percentage-wise, And since women won one third of the
total number of grants, and Bryn Mawr won half as many as Haverford,
this high fraction must also be wonderful,

All these calculations aside, may we extend numerous congratulations

to the honorable half dozen.

Food on the Rocks

Last week’s issue of the NEWS printed a letter of gruesome specifi-
city complaining about how meals are cooked in Rockefeller Hall. The
details ran from descriptions of lettucé sitting out in the hot basement
to various foreign objects found in the food. No one denies that running
a large kitchen is difficult, but the evidence in the letter seemed to

/ » indicate a certain amount of carelessness. According to the author of



the letter, the most recent event was the last straw and the letter was
written when she was mad and upset. This is obvious by the tone of it,

. which ended with a threat to go to the Public Health Service over Miss

McBride’s head if something was not done.

Criticism has been made that the Rock students did not go through
proper channels to register their complaints. Because the letter was
written on a Sunday, they should have waited until Monday, when the Hall
Manager was there,and complained privately to her. Yet the fact re-
mains that these things didn’t all happen that Sunday; it had been a con-
tinuing problem over the year and Rock students had been to their Hall
Manager, to Miss Howe, to their warden andto their hall officers numer-
ous times before, with essentially no effect.

And now there has been an effect. Rock food, according to observers,
has definitely improved, Those who have seen it report that the kitchen
looks cleaner and that No Smoking signs are displayed more prominently
- than before. Rock students have learned that things begin to happen’
if f they place théir complaints squarely before the authorities in a public _



“manner, After a year of discussions and grumblings, with little im-

provement, some positive action was finally taken and positive results
were finally effected, The proof is in the pudding.

JLETTERS TO THE EDITOR|

‘Superman’

To the Editor:

I have just completed my second
reading of Miss McDermott’s pan-
ning of the pre-Broadway showing
of ‘‘Superman.’”’ I too have seen
this new musical comedy and must
admit that I found myself agreeing
with most of her criticisms, How-
ever, until her final paragraph the
reader feels that the elaborate
play is doomed to a two-week
stand in Philadelphia, and even
then she is not very encouraging.
Allow me to point out some of the
strengths of the show. One fact
which is not mentioned is that the
composer and lyricist, Strouse and
are the same two men
responsible for ‘‘Bye Bye Birdie,’’
which by itself is a pretty fair
credential. Although on first
listening the songs do not seem to
measure up to ‘‘Birdie,’’ there are
enough good ones to permit the
show to favorably compete with any
of the long-running shows now on
Broadway.

Perhaps what most impressed -
me were the sets. These also re-
minded me of ‘‘Birdie’’? because of
all their color. Technically any
audience had-to appreciate the way
the scene changes came about
and the realism of the scenes. The

“Telephone Hour’? scene from
“Birdie” was adopted to a comic
book page with equal effectiveness,
Another strong point was the
group dancing. The use of the
Shindig-type dancers from: MIT
(Metropolis Inst. of Tech.) to-
gether with the townspeople helped’
to make the big scenes come alive.
These dancers are particularly
noticeable in the second act.
“The play’s ending definitely
needs re-writing, which Bob

would be done before the production
headed for New York, As it stands
now the entire meat of the plot
is thrown at the audience within
a matter of 15 or 20 seconds and
it is impossible to appreciate any
story line at that pace.

Thus, if the play wouldaim sole-
ly for satire and forget about
Slapstick; if Jack ‘‘Max Mencken’’
Cassidy, the star, would drop his
vaudeville style of acting; if Holi-
day would take his part a little
more seriously; if a new, clearer,
and perhaps even simpler end-
ing were written; and then if these
were combined with the musical
score, the fabulous sets, and the
big dance scenes, ‘‘Superman’”
could certainly measure up with
anything else which has opened on
Broadway this year,

Explanation

To the Editor:

As Head-elect of the Curriculum
Committee I would like to reply
to your editorial of March 4 con-
cerning the joint platform put
forward by the nominees for Cur-
riculum.Committee.

The reason for presenting a
combined article was, essentially,
that it represented a constructive
and realistic appraisal of our sit-
uation. As we have pointed out,
only last year the Curriculum
Committee gained the recognition
of a campus-wide vote -- entering
it, we hope, into a new phase of
student interest. Before then, the
Committee had been virtually un-
known to students in general, Sec-
ondly, neither Judy Chapman nor
Ricky Emrich nor I (the candidates)
were officially members of Cur-
riculum Committee at the be-
ginning of the year; rather ‘each
became interested during the year,
joined in working on a few pro-
jects, and we all separately came
to see the Curriculum Committee
in terms of its basic potentials.
We were just realizing, and the
campus was apparently unaware
of the scope of its interests. Hence
none of us saw value in presenting
separate, short, and naturally
redundant ‘‘platforms’? to a
strange public when an outline
of basics was in order.

"SHH THE OTHERS MIGHT WANT-ONE TOOT!



Educated differences come with
the experience of both the organ-
ization and the individual. Cur-
riculum Committee does not have
a long history of campus recog-
nition to rest upon while it picks
its bones or reevaluates its
skeleton. And it has not yet had
a chance to define itself.

Furthermore, the joint article
accomplished another of its ends;
the dinner system reception in
every dorm was either large or
lively or both. rothy Dow’s
ining 4 the election as a write-
in candidate attests to recruit-
ment of new interests.

Lastly, the effective part of an
organization lies not necessarily
in its intended leader, but in the
people who continue to work with
it. The joint platform was a sign
of mutual interest rather than in-
dividual similarities,

Parking

To the Editor;

Being the proud: possessor of a
sports car (which is currently for
sale), I cannot help but feel dis-

“crimination when I wheel along the

‘Bryn Mawr Strip’® (past Taylor),
restraining my ..380 horses to a
paltry 15 mph, My car is one of
the quietest on the road, and I
invite Miss McBride to cock her
ear the next time she sees me
coming,

But my major gripe is the park-
ing situation, Running on a tight
schedule, I have only two hours to
get to Bryn Mawr, have coffee and
doughnuts at the Deanery, and do
my French for my 12 o’clock
class. There just is not enough
time to run up from the Erdman
lot. And what will the infirmary
do if I have a heart attack? Give
me some green pills? Treat me for
mono?

In next week’s. NEWS; I shall
assign sports cars their proper
social roles on campus. Take my
sports car? You might as well cut
off my finger,

Rhoads Farm Hit by Progress, Juniors Win H
Bows to Highway Construction

. Progress, in the form of a new
highway, means that Rhoads Farm,
owned by the college, will be

‘cut in half,

The Mid-County Expressway,
commonly known as the Blue Route,
will go directly through the farm
between the hill and creek, The
road comes from the Industrial
Highway in Chester and goes to
King of Prussia, It will take two
years to build the highway and
construction will start as soon as
the state is able to obtain all the
necessary properties. Probably
only three houses will be torn
down since most of the road runs
through undeveloped land. Barring
legal difficulties, officials es-
timate that work will start this
year.

Talk On Cubism

Robert Rosenblum, associate
professor of History of Art at
Princeton University, will present
a lecture on ‘‘The Typography of
Cubism” Thursday, March 17,

Mr. Rosenblum, the author of
*‘Cubism and Twentieth-Century
Art,” will be speaking about a
new aspect in the study of cubism,
that of the lettering which occurs
in many paintings. It has been
generally assumed that these let-
ters were simply part of the de-
sign of the painting, or copied
from the objects painted, and that
they had no specific meaning in
relation to the rest of the paint-
ing. Rosenblum feels.that there is
a definite relationship to the mean-
ing of the piece of art.

The lecture will take place in

the land again this spring. The

— But °King of Kings’ Is Still°66

Student Works Featured
At Erdman Art Festival

The current student art show in
Erdman Hall marks a pleasant
innovation, upon the quiet stone of
Erdman’s. entryway. Kahn built
Erdman with the ‘‘flow of life’? in
mind; as many have pointed out,
the crystallized castle background
lends a perfect. and non-conflicting
setting for the more colorful and
life-like additions--the various
Persian rugs, the furniture, the
moving people. And now the tem-
porary addition of the art show
‘adds itself to this theme.

The Grand Opening (and it was
grand) Sunday afternoon set thle
tone of the idea behind the art
display. A small Bach-Teleman
ensemble with harpsichord began
the afternoon with several pieces
from their repertoire of early
music. They played from one of
Erdman’s much-envied ‘‘balconies
befote the sky light’’which face
centrally towards each wing of the
hall. Later the Bryn Mawr-Haver-
ford Renaissance choir sang(much
appreciating the stone-lent acous-
tics). Tea was served at 4:00 p.m.

The Art Show is sponsored by
both the REVIEW and Arts Council,
but chief thanks go to the initiative
of Patty Gordon-Mann and Mar-
garet Edwards for bringing it
about -- and in such a lovely
fashion. The art show was origin-
ally started to give the art depart-
ment of the REVIEW a better
knowledge of the artwork done on
campus, but the response and in-

terest soon justified an Erdman ;

display.

Most striking, though, is the
originality characterizing the show
which is afforded by the number of
contributors. Response to Erd-
man’s display this year seems to
have drawn more separate artists
than have student art shows held
in previous years in the Roost,
The pieces are individual selec-
tions (rather than, for example,
several variations on an Art Lab
101 theme), in the artist’s chosen
medium and style.

About twenty students contribu-
ted drawings, paintings, wood and
lineoleum prints, wax-and-shell
work. The variation of medium re-
iterated the presence of Mr. Jansh-
Ka’S art workshop on campus. The
pieces themselves range widely in
scope and aim, from less serious
decorative works to oils and favor-
ite compositions.

The art show is small enough
to encourage casual browsing, and
should provide an interesting
respite for the ir-between-class
hour or two. It will remain open
until March 13.

contests since 1958 until last Fri-
day, when the juniors’ play won.

This year’s play, presented in
order of increasing class senior-
ity, were. sharply divided by the
intermission. The contributions of
the classes of 1969 and 1968 were
intermittently amusing; those of
the classes of 1967 and 1966 were
consistently intriguing.

Appropriately, the level of so-
phistication rose with each suc-
cessive play, from a series of
skits to a play with a story line
to a modern parody to a classic
parody. In the first two plays,
little attempt was made to escape
from the Haverford campus; ‘‘in=
jokes,’’ particularly people’s
names, abounded.

One especially bitter -note that
must be sounded here concerns
an exam scene in the first play,
**The Monks’ Habit.’? A number
of its lines were strikingly simi-
lar to those of a testing scene
in the current Mask and Wig Club
revue, which has been.running for
afew weeks at the University ‘of
Pennsylvania. For example, ‘‘Why
do you consider (name) the Jolly
Green Midget?’’?,; ‘‘Why do you
consider at least one of the follow-
ing a dirty old man: the Wizard
of Oz (etc.)?’”? Furthermore,
several lines were- shared not
only: by the two productions but
also, as a fellow skeptic has
brought to my attention, by the
Test Paper sections of a book
published by Dutton in 1931, 1066
AND ALL THAT: A MEMORABLE
HISTORY OF ENGLAND, W. C,
Sellar and R. J. Yeatman. For
example, ‘‘Candidates over 30 need
not attempt questions 10, 2, 5,
(etc.)’; ‘Give the dates of at
least two of the following: 55 B.C.,
1066 A,D.’’; andthe crowning blow,

‘Would you repeat A, please?’’
“A”? “¢Thank you.’’

Considerably more imagination
went into the sophomores’ offer-
ing, ‘‘Worst Side Story.’ One of
the founders of Haverford (“I
couldn’t HALF AFFORD to send
my six kids there’’) returns dis-
guised as a freshman. Disgusted
with the students, he reveals his
identity,, advising, ‘‘Get thee a
lusty Bryn Mawr wench and hie
thee to the strawberry patch!’’
Scattered musical numbers were
fairly successful. The traditional
scene in which boys impersonate
Haverford maids included real
brooms and real dirt.

Next was ‘‘Ship of Tools, or
How I Came to Stop Disliking the
Dean and Love the Giant in my
Washing Machine.’? The supposed
overflowing of the Haverford. duck
pond has turned the school into
a ship. Besides a large, colorful
pop art mural, the juniors featur-

Cad derived much humor from the
latter’s frequent wicked guffaws
and cries of ‘‘Nasty!’’ The play
was engaging at will, with an un-
expected Doublemint gum com-
mercial, go-go interludes down
the center aisle, and so forth.
Obviously a product of joy, this
little musical play seemedto make
the audience happy, too.

In myopinion, however, the prize
should have gone to the seniors

the lavish sets included a dry ice

actor hovered over the stage. Iam-
bic pentameter, anachronisms, a

was excellent, and a ‘‘dance’’ of
young men cursed with indifference
was, I think, brilliant.

Last week the first of the
Merion-Denbigh coffee hours was
initiated, and these will continue
from 10:30 to 11:30 at Merion on
Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and at
Denbigh on Mondays and Thurs-
days through the spring.

Coffee, cream and a limited
number of doughnuts or cookies

“are” béing “served” at the expense

of the college. At the end of two:
or three weeks, the expenses will
be calculated. Depending on the
result of this calculation, the
college will continue to provide
coffee or may agree to pay half
the expense, the rest being taken
up by the two halls. If. the coffee
hours are successful at Merion
and Denbigh, they may be adopted
on other parts of the campus

The idea of a morning coffee
hour was originated by Drewdie
Gilpin and Debby. Jackson from
Denbigh and by Judy Liskin from
Merion, After talking to Miss
McPherson and checking with Mrs.
Marshall and Miss Howe, it was
agreed to start coffee are as

The girls felt that since Merion
and Denbigh were providing coffee
jointly, the two halls would get to
know each other better. Further-
more, girls from Merion and Den-
bigh could ask friends from other
dorms for a break between
classes, Thus the coffee hours
might encourage students from all
over the campus to meet and talk

with girls outside their own hall
and immediate group of friends.

Coffee hours could provide a
chance for more student-faculty
conan as well as for in-
creased inter-hall relations. Stu-

dents could invite their professers
for a cup of coffee, talk with them

_.in_an informal atmosphere, and get

to know them apart from class,

Perhaps most important,
coffee hours would be a relaxed
and friendly time for girls in the
hall to be together, to forget their
studies and themselves for awhile
and to learn more about each
other.

Basically, coffee hours are open
to be used by students in any way
they wish,

Any 12 year-old can pass it.
