Chorus to feutars
Comes, Monteverdi
In Winter Concert
This weekend, the Bryn Mawr
chorus.and the men’s chorus of the:
Franklin Marshall school in
Lancaster will give a joint per-
formance in Goodhart on Saturday
night and at Franklin -Marshall -
on. Sunday. The performance has
been planned for some time, and
it is not the first time the two
_ choruses have sung together, The
program includes a good deal of
16th and 17th century music; one
of the pieces was edited by music
director Robert Goodale. The per-
formance is free as the chorus
._ 4s under the auspices of the Friends
of Music,
The choruses have been working
on their performance since before
Christmas, Unfortunately because
of transportation costs and
difficulties, the choruses rehearse
separately until the afternoon of the
performance. This arrangement
does not seemto have affected their
singing; Bryn Mawr and Franklin
Marshall have already sung to-
gether at St. Thomas Church in
New York on Feb. 9. They sang
the two big pieces they will also
sing this weekend --
MAGNIFICAT. and Gabrieli’s
IUBILATE-DEO.
Mr. Goodale edited the MAGNI-
FICAT himself during a Sabbatical
in-_Spain_three years ago, The.
composer, Juan \Batista Comes
(1568-1643) is not widely known,
though he is one of Spain’s greatest
Baroque composers. The piece was
published during the reign of Philip
II, just as the Spanish Empiré was
starting to crumble,
BILATE DEO, by Giovanni
Gabrieli, is a ‘Sacred Sym-
phony’’ ..--.. part...of. Gabrieli’s.

In the preferential voting sys-
tem, every student must cast.a
‘vote for her first, second, third,
fourth choices among the candi-
dates running. Failure to complete
a ballot (voting for only. a few of
the candidates on the .slate) or
« failure to observe the preferential
numbering (placing only check-
marks instead of numbers by the
candidates’ names) invalidates the
ballot.
When ballots are counted under
this system, the ‘first place votes
of the candidates are stacked and
tabulated .If no candidate then has
a clear majority, the second place
votes of the candidate receiving
the fewest first place votes. (i.e.
#4 ‘in a race with four candidates)
are -distributed among the re-
maining cafdidates. If a clear
majority is still not obtained, the
second place votes of the candi-
date remaining with the~ fewest
votes (the third in a four person
contest) are likewise distributed.
By this time a clear majority
should have - been reached. Only
in case of -a-tie-between- the top
two candidates are the third and
fourth pface votes of the other
candidates considered.
In Self Gov. and Undergrad
elections eVery student must turn
in a_ ballot. However, one may
abstain by turning in a_ ballot
_.with.-*‘Abstention’2-written_on_it.
Abstention .should only be used
when the voter knows none of the
candidates on the slate.
It_ is not necessary for voters
to turn in ballots marked ‘‘Ab-
stention’’ for. Big Five offices.
For Alliance, Arts Council, Ath-
letic Association, League and
Interfaith, voting is optional, and
only those who know the candi-
dates and are interested in~ the
election, need vote at all,

President” McBride outlined
plans presently under considera-
tion for an addition to the library
at. ‘an open meeting for students
and faculty in the Common Room
February 25,
The two most promising sug-
gestions concern a new extension
behind the library and an entirely
separate new building, .
’ The first idea offered for-an
enlargement came from Charles
David, former history professor
at Bryn Mawr, who wanted to build
additional stacks -underground, In-
terested in the possibility, the
school called in architect Douglas
Ore for consultation, He completed
his study in 1958,
Mr. -Ore considered.a general
construction plan for the campus,
which includes the new physical
science wing, the new dormitgry,,
and eventually a building for the
humanities as well as the library
addition,
One of Mr. Ore’s solutions to
the library problem. was. filling
in the Cloisters for stack space,
The space would have been in-
sufficient, and the college refused
to consider the plan,
Mr. Ore contributed three ad-
plans,...One. would have
destroyed the Deanery: and built
the core of,a humanities building,
This idea, however, limited space
tor both buildings involved, —
A second suggestion would have
put large stacks underground from
the library to Taylor Hall, The
library staff members here
objected tO working in artificial
light in place of natural daylight.
The final, favored proposal en-
visiened a five story building at
the back of the library, digging
into the hill, This rectangular.
structure, with three stories be-
low ground, could provide space

and Miss Howe about proposed library improvements.
for the “college’s book heeds for :
15 to 20 years,
An important point that must
be remembered, Miss McBride
warned,.is that the school cannot
expect to raise funds for new space
if all available room is not utilized,
Mr. Metcalf, a new consultant,
called in last summer, supported
the- five-story--extension forthe
library.and proposed looking far-
ther into the future’s needs by
considering a larger building sep-
arate from the library.
The library addition must pro-
vide space for 275,000 to 300,000"
volumes, The present. shortage of
shelf space and facilities for pro-
cessing has ham pered the purchase
of new books, andthe library hopes
to fill in the deficiency when room
is available,
A faculty committee has sug-
gested that about 20 offices be
‘added, as well as seminar rooms

Only seventeen undergraduates were there. A deplorable situation.
~ They, of course, benefitted both from Miss McBride’s up-to-date
report on plans for enlargement and improvement of the library ard

which ensued. But no one -- including M, Cary T.’s library -- bene-
fitted as much from the meeting.as she might have if a greater number
of. students had attended.
Perhaps the time of the meeting was inconvenient for many, Perhaps
. gtudents did. not know about the meeting. Whatever the reason for the
poor turnout, student: attendance was deplorable.
We were asked for our suggestions on library improvement and
expansion, And we demonstrated effectively that we have insufficient

_ Exchanges To Livingstone Stress Gain

In a recent press conference,
Paula Pace, Leslie Coen and
Rhonda Copelon aired their views
on their visit to Livingstone.
‘All three girls emphasized the
fact that they participated in the
exchange as three people, not as
three Bryn Mawrters investigating

They attributed this new outlook
to three fac

rather than observing a “different

Swarthmore SPAC Lauded |

It is impossible to “attend a

pus, has been vigorously supported
Undergrad Meets to Discuss
Exchanges and Conferences.
Exchanges, coming conferences,
and summer job possibilities were
among the topics covered at the
Monday night meeting of Under-
grad. The meeting opened with
the introduction of the visiting
students from Sarah Lawrence,
Bonnie Magi and Jerry MacMillan,
A discussion of unexpected ex-
penses incurred on the trip to
Tougaloo was followed by an an-
nouncement that the Bryn Mawr
students who. visited Livingston
last week will be available Mon-
day evening, March 2, at 7:30
in the Common Room to speak
on their experience,
It was decided at the meeting
to establish a committee of five
people to work out exchanges. The
committee will now become a
permanent standing committee of
Undergrad and will work to devise
a more valid way of selecting
people for .the exchanges, One
proposal was that each interested
person be required to write a
letter .explaining why shé wished
to participate in the exchange sins

announced for the benefit of in-

That SPAC is a vital organiza-
tion can. be attributed to three
factors: Vern Grizzard, autonomy,
and a sense of purpose, There are
no “representatives” to SPAC.
Every person at a SPAC meeting
IS. SPAC. And this_sense of be-
longing and its contingent sense of
personal responsibility for SPAC’s
actions.and decisions is exhilarat-
ing to a Bryn Mawr observer.
Bryn Mawr has no diplomat of
the quiet power of Vernon Grizzard,
no statesman with the ability to
redirect varying shades of interest
and channel them into a’ single
coherent direction, But there are

Self-Gov. Nominees Discuss
General Aims, Driviga Rule
Emily Bardack
‘In our Self-Government As-
sociation the student body is. re-
sponsible for choosing and
enforcing the rules. Since the
restrictions are imposed by
re Stiideiits, it Should follow that such ©
rules are considered necessary
and desirable, Everyone approves,
and“ so no. infractions are com-
mitted, This, however, is theo-
retical, The “tyranny .of the
majority”? can exercise its ‘ will
much to the discomfort of the
minority, and in rebellion or mis-
undertanding, rules are broken. |
The purpose of Self-Gov is to fill
the need for a realistic effective
system of governing college life.
Every institution must have its
set of rules, but Self-Gov is more
than~a- handbook of legal
restrictions. It represents a mode
of _thinking...comparable _.to. the
academic philosophy of the college:
every student is an independent
.Self-governing adult, able to make
her .own decisions and to choose
how her college years should be
spent. Few limitations are set:
complete freedom exists within
certain boundaries. This is true
not only in the academic realm,
EMILY BARDACK
but in Self-Government as well.
However, it is imperative, since
the system depends -on personal
integrity, that the impositions are
¢ realistic and can be enforced. Just
as the learning process must not
‘be a-passive experience, Self-Gov
requires. active participation. The
~ honor system will only work if the
rules area valid expression of
student opinion, There have. been
many changes in Bryn Mawr, and
they have come about as a result
of concern for and challenge ot
_conditions. The petitions brought
before legislature were manifesta-.
tions of this vital interest. The
Self-Government Association is
not a static organization, It must
keep up with student demands in
order to. provide a.workable flex-
ible program for governing _
Mavr life. .

_ Exposure As Key To Understén
nding —
Stressed By . Interfaith Candidates
Cecilia Andrade
Since my arrival at Bryg.Mawr,
I have been very interested in
Interfaith, I consider religion to
be the most. important force in
our life, I admire what Inter-
faith has been doing in the past
<-years”’ in order to broaden our
_knowledge of religious thought ‘anti
to create a better understanding
among people,
Although Bryn Mawr is a well-
informed community, I find that
adhere are very few people who
discuss religious matters, For this
reason, we do not hear-about-the.
changes. that are taking place in
religious thought; however, many
historians, theologians and philo-
sophers have invoked religion as.
the only solution to the problems
of man in this century: -
For all these reasons, ‘| think
that Interfaith should continue
working in order to provide in-
formation amd to encourage dis-
cussion ameng the students of the
College.
Interfaith should try to iiiadinbati
a closer contact with students who
aré willing to work in church and
community projects, In Philadel-
phia, there are several church
organized centers that work in the
slums of the city,’ and I know
that they would welcome any help
we could give them,
I would also support some tours
to. the different churches in Phila-
delphia, Many. of them are sites
of historical interest. Some others
have unusual religious rites, and
observing the religious phenome-
non inthis area could be a
complement. to our efforts to pro-
duce a better understanding end
tolerance among people, which is
one of the main pruposes of Inter-
faith,

life seems more defined. Every-

these projects, Interfaith must be
flexible and open to suggestion.

Finally, information is of great

‘This would include discussions

4, ADOPT a theme about which
to center the majority of alliance

Alliance’ has great potential for
action, both as a coordinator of

level of the job. Next fall, for
example, the national, statewide
and local elections will present
an excellent opportunity for
Alliance to concentrate mainly on
an- exploration of the whole

Alliance could sponsor and support
projects ranging from a series
of debates and panel sessions on the
nature and ideologies of the two
major parties and the importance
of the minority parties, ‘to having

Undergrad Hopefuls Advocate Student
Exchanges, Concern For Campus.
Margery Aronson
The single Executive Council
with weekly meetings instituted in
1963-64 has alleviated some of the
difficulties © of: communication
which inevitably confront theUn- —
dergraduate Association. I have
four proposals for the expansion
of Undergrad which are possible
under the revised constitution,
First, there is a constitutional
provision for a publicity chairman.
I suggest that she be placed in
charge of.a single publicity com-
mittee which will issue all notices,
posters, and pamphlets concerning
‘campus events. This would con-
solidate funds, eliminate duplica-
tion of materials and decrease the
possibility of conflicts. She would
“work closely with the Vice Pres-
ident and Mrs. Paul, Because the
chairman would be responsible
. for all releases, a nominal salary
could be an incéntive. The com-"
mittee would be. open to interest-
ed students from all organizations.
Second, there. is a provision
for a‘*public Accommodations
List.’* I would like to see this
list updated and increased. I also
would like to institute a Bryn
Mawr-Haverford Hospitality Com-
mittee, If rooms are available for
guests at either college at any
' time, the committee will have a
list of these availabilities and
can conveniently place guests of
’ BMC and Haverford students.
Third, the present. Undergrad
plans” to create an exchange com-
mittee. Under this system, I would —
like a. Seven Sisters exchange in
which Bryn Mawrters would visit
each of the other colleges while
their’ rooms were occupied by
other exchange students here. This
has been done inthe past and. has
been discontinued. °°“ -“““
Fourth, I would expand the For-
eign Student Committee and give.
it more flexibility. I suggest a
two week stay for-new foreign
students with a Bryn Mawrter’s
family immediately preceding
Freshman Week. Also, Undergrad
could . coordinate. acitivities of
the other campus organizations
directed towards -foreign students
and suggest participation of mutual
benefit...
MARGERY ARONSON
Whereas the avowed purposes of
the Undergraduate Association are
-representation,.. liaison,..and..ad-
ministration, the rigidity implied
in these functions is not impera-
tive. The very fact that Undergrad
is composed of all elements which
comprises Bryn Mawr makes it
flexible, able to coordinate and
' the best reflector of student opin-
ion and activity on the campus.
Pam Murray
Do you run for the train nearly
every. Friday. afternoon, and wish
that you could have done it on
Wednesday? That could be a sign
of numerous. connections. at
Princeton, Yale, what have you;
or is it a lack of anything inter-—
‘ esting to do at Bryn Mawr? If
the latter is the’ case; you may
say that life here in ingrown and
‘cloistered, But it doesn’t have to”
be. Bryn Mawr.has an Under-
graduate Association for the ex--
_ press purpose of copralnaling stu-
dent activities, both on campus
and off, If you are interested in
discussing the merits of the fire-
man’s band or the achievement of
student discounts on public trans-
portation, both are possible under
the auspices of Undergrad,
Through Undergrad we can or-
ganize student opinion and muster
an effective voice for campus
needs, such as a Student Union,-a
reasonable budget,.and maybe even
better - plumbing, Under this -head-
ing, I fully advocate a complete
reform of the College Inn or the
setting aside of some place on
this campus for a full fledged
Student Union,
But what is more important in
the. long run is making our inter-
ests and opinions felt beyond, the
campus, Through nation-wide*co-
ordination this can be done, Our
needs extend beyond Bryn Mawr,
and the scope of our activities
should also,
‘The recent conference on civil
rights has shown that we can. be
in, touch with the issues of today
and discuss these with numerous
students from.other colleges. +
think that it should set a prece-
dent for drawing this campus into
the student community as a whole,
But conferences are not the only
way in which this can be accom-
plished. A well organized system
of exchanges with other colleges,
large and small, will make us more
aware of student goals, gripes, and
feelings elsewhere.
PAM MURRAY
Undergrad has the organiza-.
tional tools to carry our interest
into action, I intend to use these
tools with you as a *“‘Bryn Mawr-
tyr’’ and as a part of the national
student community,.- =
Betsey Pinckney
The primary duty of the Under-
graduate Association is set up ina
give-and-take relationship. As
general co-ordinator of all student
‘activity, the Assoc, is able to give
to each organization and to the
campus as a whole, a sense of
direction and support for their
ideas, It is through the very inter-
change of these ideas that the
Assoc, takes its form.
Because Undergrad, directs the
funds alloted t6 each organization
and pays: the salaries of many
campus jobs, it should be to the
interest of each student that she
be -fully. informed-as.to. the-activi-
ties~ of that group. Too often,
criticism and new ideas have been
withheld from the Assoc, not from
a..sense.of anathy, but-rather from
a lack of. communication between
the individual and Undergrad.
The representatives from the .
halls and organizations are-not the
only means of communication and
expression. Each student herself
is an IPSO FACTO member of
the Assoc. and.should be encour-
aged to. attend the open meetings.
With publicity, more direct stu-
dent participation, and an increase
in proportional representatives
from the halls, the ideas con-
cerning all campus undertakings
will be more easily fmplemented.
to the benefit of each individual
-and organization.
A college the size of Bryn Mawr

The Untergraduate Association
is essentially an organization for
‘the students, and it is therefore
the responsibility of the Under-
grad. president to maintain close
cooperation between the Executive
Council and the student body. This
job involves findifig out exactly
what student attitudes are on all
subjects that fall under the juris-
diction of Undergrad,, working to
discover what problems are both-
ering students most and-need tobe
brought to discussion, and, perhaps
- most important of all, emphasizing
~ the role of Undergrad, as a forum
for airing student opinion...
In spite. of the grumbling and
growling -that resounds from li-
brary corridors, smokers, . and
dorm ‘rooms at all hours of the
day and night, relatively few of
these complaints actually reach

has dealt with problems which will
exist as long as the college, but
which must be periodically re-
considered owing to the ever-
changing character of the student
body. To take one example, much
progress has been made in an
effort to -transform the library
into a place Students can use when
they need it. Hopefully, the trend
for an increasingly serviceable
library will continue. Progress
with the library was possible only
through the cooperation of a large
proportion of the student body;
however,
Next year, one of the most
“important topics of discussion will
be Erdman Hall, The problems
raised by anew dormitory should
offer an exciting opportunity for
Undergrad to»*sound out student
opinion in an attempt to come up
with a plan that defies criticism.’
In addition to keeping in touch
with our own student body, it has
been part: of the role of Undergrads
to maintain close contact. with
other colleges through student ex-
changes: and joint meetings with
Haverford and Swarthmore. These

Ojibwas Will Act,

By Lynette Scott '65
Dr. A. Irving Hallowell lectured |

In his lecture, Dr. . Hallowell

The Radical Right Explores
Ultra-Conservatives Upsurge
By Cabbs Denton
Daniel Bell assembled a col-
lection of essays (THE NEW
AMERICAN RIGHT) in 1955 in an
effort to explain the sociological
reasons. for the upsurge of ultra-
conservative views in America.
The emergence of the extreme
right into political power during
the thirties and the fifties has been
attributed to sociological reasons
by all of the contributors,
A good deal of emphasis has been
placed ~on~ the -following-aspects;
the drives of status seekers during
prosperity, their fear of threats
to their newly-acquired position,
the lack of a firm tradition of civil
discipline or tolerance in America,
the definition. of. Americanism in
ideological terms, the lack of in-
‘tegrated cultural and political so-
cial control structure, and the
consequences of a liberal or con-
servative climate of-opinion onthe
power of the extremist groups
-(p826).
Much attention ‘is paid to the
status seeking aspect of the right-
ists. Efforts to maintain their
newly acquired position resulted in
a great reaction against the pol-
icies.of the New Deal.
McCarthy’s picture of the ideal
Communist, an ‘‘upper class East-
ern Episcopalian graduate of Har-
vard employed by -the State’ De-
partment” ( p. 377) exemplifies
the fear of governmental advisers.
He even found “threats to the
country in the wording of the Girl
Scout: Handbook”? (p. 57).
The John Birch. Society as well
as the McCarthy followers are
revolting against modernity, i.e.
the téndency of governmental pol-
icy (since the New Deal) towards
a more socialistic state. This
--movement is only partially aimed .
at the ‘‘eggheads’’ of the govern-
ment, however.

The. essayists achieved their

tended to become redundant after

Help Raise Funds

songs of the Negro movement,

tee, described, their concerts as
an attempt to tell the civil rights
story in song, since words. alone
often can not express the depths
of feelings involved. One might
have wished. that some of their
singing was a little less polished,,.
a little less showman-like, but
generally they did manage to say
what they came to say. ,
Some of the songs they sang have
grown out of incidénts of the last
few years, while others are. tra-
ditional, ‘*Oh, Freedom,’’ they
said, is a hundred years old but
is still meaningful because the
Southern system for oppressing the
Negro has changed little in that

Considerable interest was ex-
pressed in organizing a' Friends.

It would also serve as a forum
for discussion, andSNCC members

of this game will prove a preview

The junior varsity was downed

greatly excited the conference by
directing its attention to Inner
City work. He condemned the Prot-

God is in the country and the
Devil is in the city. Seeking to
dissolve the barrier between the

pointed to city life as the ideal

‘Now's The Time To Consider
Wide Variety Of Summer Jobs
‘sSummer jobs ar@ improving
in quality if not in qwantity’’ says
' Judith Van Allen, Head of Student
Employment, Bureau of Recom-
mendations.. Now is the time for
all Bryn Mawrters to consider
what they are going to be doing
this summer, The selection is wide:
here is just a sampling.
The stand-by positions in office
work and social work offer more
responsibility than ever. Office.
work is generally the best in qual-
ity according to Mrs. Van Allen
but social work now offers college
girls positions as case workers.
. For the healthy out-doors type
Bryn Mawr girl, camp work offers
a wide variety of pay and con-
ditions. If you are musically in-
clined there may be an opening
for you in a music camp to teach
a particular instrument,
Jobs of a family nature such
as cooks with private families and
Tesort work as chambermaids and
waitresses are also available, Ho-
tel work offers the best pay.
Those in search of the unusual,
the exciting andthe glamorous may
have to look a bit harder, In the
past Bryn Mawr students have been
U.N. guides and some have worked
.in departments of large magazines
like LIFE and SEVENTEEN, This-
year, the National Directory Ser-
vice reports that a‘limited number
of jobs are open at the New York

Navahuala Speaks
On Zoroastrianism
At Religion Series.
A 2600 year-old religion--
Zoroastrianism--was the subject.
of the last Interfaith comparative
religion lecture, presented by
Jamshed © Navahuala, - Assistant
Professor of Anthropology at the
University of Manitoba,
«Zoroastrianism, which began a-
bout 650 B.C., was the first suc-
cessful prophetic religion in his-
tory. It arose among the semi-
nomadic people of northern In-
Iran where Zoroaster preached in
a climate dominated by a series
of nature gods who punished er-
ring humans.
A main principle of this re-
ligion is worship of the one God
who demands that his followers
exercise good thoughts, good
words, and good deeds. In addi-
tion, there is an eternal battle be-
tween Good and Evil which all
men on earth must fight. Every-
One born, to the earth is on a
great battlefield where his every
actign is a point either for Good ©
or for Evil. :
» At ‘death he goes either to Hea-
ven or Hell depending on his score,
Since there is absolutely no for-
giveness, one must do two good
deeds for every bad acts he com-
mits. There are few Zoroastrians
left today, but these few have
becone -the second wealthiest
group -of- people-in- the -worsd;"on=-~

They have rapidly built 1antastic
monopolies in all the major indus- _
