Poll Shows Students Approve —
‘Legalization Of Room Smoking —
A-recent. survey shows that “stu.
dents at Bryn Mawr would not be
opposed to a°change-.in the smoking:
rule which would allow. Rhoads and
Erdman reSidents to’ smoke: in their
rooms. <
The “smoking committee” has
tabulated the results of the ques-
tionnaires handed out to all: stu-
dents about.a possible change in the
smoking rule. Here are the ’ final
statistics: of 414 ‘students returning
' the questionnaires, 303 did not ob-
ject ‘to the change, 107 objected,
and 4° were uncommitted. :
Broken down by dorms, the vote
was as follows:

Both the: objecting votes and the
non-objecting votes were ~ fairly
evenly divided between qranhors and \
non-smokers.
The main reason given in favor
of the. change was the fact. that not
being able to smoke in--one’s-room
hinders work. habits for_smokers..
Many of those voting “do not object”
_wmentioned the fact: that there is in-
~ adequate space in Rhoads in which
to wérk and’smoke at the same time:
Many simply ‘feel: that since Rhoads
is as fireproof as any building ean

smoking in. rooms.

before she left.
“The part that I read is _true—--

barefoot, even in our rooms. Also

You’re much more informal than
we are. If I met a Bryn Mawr
girl on the street, I’d think she
came from Greenwich Village,
“The girls here are very nice.

they gave me, Yes,. I do . think
they’re bookwormish — maybe
that’s out of necessity, though.
“One-thing I noticed—they have
a terrific sense of humor.
“T think the girls have closer

everybody knows everyone else.
Maybe that’s because..we all eat
-together. Also there’s a Student
Union and Rec rooms in the.dorms.
“Do I think Bryn Mawr. feels
the lack of a Student Union? It
must. Everybody’s told me so.”
One of the customs at Living-
stone which brings students closer
together is the “family” relation-
ship...Each year ‘upperclassmen
adopt freshmen as sons and daugh-
ters. The mothers and fathers give
their children presents during the
ane and become friends as. well
“parents.”
oY ou really get close to. a ‘lot of
people that way,” said Christy.
She added that Livingstone ‘is: as
~tradition-oriented-.as: Bryn Mawr.
One~non-traditional activity is
the. sit-ins and_picketing of. Segre-..
“gated placés. Christy took part in
sit-ins last year. “The whole town
was behind us, and the church. Now *
the only segregated place left is
the. movie theater. We picketed
that this fall, and some of the boys
got arrested. The case is coming
up. in the Superior Court this
spring, and we aren’t doing any-
thing until the case is--over.

just around the corner for winter-

ners, the clothes were, provided by
the Parlour Shop in Philadelphia at

Brown Reports Problem Spring Notes Livingstone’ s Efforts and Limitations
_ by Rachel Brown, 63
“Welcome to Salisbury, . the All
American City” proclaimed a huge
lighted banner across the main
street,
-as. we left.
The mayor of Salisbury told with
pride of the industrial development
of his city in the past year, and ad-
mitted that integration was com-
ing, but that “we can not push it.”
Thecity is working to make the
Negfo schools as good as the white,
but ignores the possibility of inte-
grating them, and has similar plans
for its urban renewal,
Boasting of the fact .that- lunch
counters were integrated peacefully
without demonstrations, he attrib-
uted the fact that Livingstone stu-

responsibility.
~““The~town is more liberal in its
racial policiés than many. other
Southern towns, but its policy is to
accept, not .promote, integration.
The students at Livingstone, as else-
where, are impatient.
I asked the sociology professor,
- a woman outstanding in her-teach--

standards, what she estimated «the
threat of Black Nationalism to be

, The organ that is accomplishing
most of this progress is the 0.A.S.,
a union of the 21 nations of the
Western hemisphere. Despite Com-
munism, Castro, and ‘the severe
economic, political, and social prob-
‘lems facing all of Latin America,
a‘ real start is being made in find-
ing and applying: solutions:
‘There are two. basic: problems ,

In regard to .the second prob-
lem, the most powerful instfu-
ment available. to the U.S. for the.
furthering of assistance to Latin
America is the Alliance for Pro-

ford to let a situation continue in
which literally millions'-of people —

it teaches the proper use and pro-

professor, “differentiate between the
unedueated-and the well-informed.”
~ Almost ‘all’ the students we met
have two ideas about their futures
—one that they want to do and ~
~one that they plan to do. There is
“as great a diversity of desires at
Livingstone as at Bryn Mawr, but ~
few expect to realize their dreams.
At least half know that they will
end up teaching—the best job avail-

- As we learned of the college’s sev-
ere handicaps, we could not help but
“‘be impressed by what it has already
accomplished. The fact that the col-
‘lege exists’ and .is accredited, the
‘fact that it has already overcome
numerous handicaps, makes one feel -
that it will continue to climb rap-
idly and to maintain’ its magnificent
spirit of buoyancy, of refusal to sub-
mit to its disadvantages. One. can-
not evaluate the college without be-
ing aware of its great dynamic po-
tential for growth.

‘proved—but not to the extent that
they are no longer painful. In

— Grayzel Discusses:
- Judaic Translation
Of Venerable Text
Dr. Solomon .Grayzel, in a lec-
ture. entitled -“The New- Transla-
“tion of the Torah, the Five Books
*of Moses,” :discussed the transla-
tion (by the, Jewish Publication
Society) of the Torah, the first of
three sections of the Jewish Scrip-
tures.
The first translation of ae Bi-
ble was necessitated by the Greek-”
speaking Jews: living outside of
Hebrew speaking regions who had.
lost touch with the original
Hebrew source of the-Holy Scrip-
tures. Aristes reports that the first
translation was ordered by Ptol-
emy in 250 B.C., and that seventy-
two Greek setters: ~agreed™ on
every word of it.
Then, translations into the—var-
jous vernacular languages became
needed —as the Jewish—population—
spread around the world, farther
away from _ Hebrew-speaking
areas: first to Aramaic, then Arab-
ic, then to German, Polish, French,
and English. Gommantarion on the:
.« Hebrew Bible were written in sev- - °
eral languages to enable Jews who
could read Hebrew, but not well
enough to comprehend. the_ spirit
and meaning of the scriptures in
the original Hebrew, to attain a
greater .understanding of their
Bible.
-In-English, the King James Ver-
sion of the Bible poses a_signifi-
cant problem for the translator.

‘ Grayzel states; does not have the
poetry of the King James Version,
but has ‘gained truth. “I would

In translating the- psalms, Dr.
Grayzel tried to maintain the rhy-

Concerned, also, with the increas-
_ing socialistic trends , within the
Federal Government, the speaker
stated that rationalistic tendencies
are. undermining the moral bases. of
our nation. The Ninth Command-
“ment, he asserted, has been changed -
to read, “Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor’s goods, except en he
has in excess of thee”; and the Sev-

Mr. Alger outlined what he feels to,

he stated tuat, if we are to strength-

CANADIAN’ QUARREL
At the same time as the Brus-
sels negotiations broke up, the
United States was directly involv-\_
ed in a verbal exchange with John’
George Diefenbaker, ‘Canada’s
Prime Minister. Since coming into.
power five years ago, Mr, Diefen-
baker’ has refused to permit nu-
clear warheads in the jets and
_ missiles which his country supplied
-to NATO and the joint North,Am-
erican Air Defense Command.
Last week, the United States de-
livered-an.abrupt note to Canada,
‘the’ Prime © Minister’s
statement that bombers -are obso-
lete and calling on that country
to fulfill its NATO commitments.
“The contents of the note wéré ‘re-"~
- leased to the Washington press
- gonly thirty minutes after its deliv-
ery in-Canada, and this action ev-
oked a strong protest.
The main result seemed to. be-the
increasing” weakness -of*-Diefen=
baker’s government. His rivals, the
Liberals, renewed their attacks on
hiss actions and defense policy.
Moreover, the leaders of the two
minor parties’ that would make
the difference in. a no-confidence
vote seemed to agree that the gov-
ernment was too weak. It remains
to be seen whether Diefenbaker
will try to weather a no- -confidence
yote or call new parliamentary
elections. [Editor’s Note: this ar-
ticle, intended primarily as back-
ground material, was -written be-
fore ‘Diefenbaker’s, call for new

T:do-not feel. that Bryn Mawr. has
dents to sign out overnight at any
time of the week to any “responsible
person.”
I do however object to the aspect
of the overnight sign-out rule which
forbids us to spend the night in ho-
tels in -the immediate’ vicinity of
Bryn Mawr, My objections are not
based,on the “strictness” of this
regulation. Rather; I feel that it
allows too much freedom and not
enough protection.
case in point:
A few weeks ago there. was a
“weekend” at the University of
Pennsylvania. A number of Bryn
Mawr girls were invited to parties in
different fraternities-on Saturday
night. It snowed heavily all day
- Saturday and -most--of--the night:
This means that visibility for’ driv-
ing was extremely poor and that

parties were quite gay and amost

ard.
ALTERNATIVES
“Three. freshmen and a number of -
upperclassmen and [ were at the
same party.. If we did not want to
risk driving back under dreadful
conditions, we had the choice of 1)
signing out to a student apartment
at Penn. 2) taking a taxi back to
school—both illegal and dangerous
this: is not illegal with
three or more students, however)
or 3) driving. back in crowded: cars

One of ehe freshmen, who lives in
New . York, took a train home at
1:00 a.m.,- which meant that she
had. tofind: a_taxi-alone in-Pennsyl-
vania Station~in New York at 3:00 "~~
in the morning. and then awaken her
parents.’
None of hie Sl tarnatives is par-
ticularly safe. There is .also the
possibility of staying at a hotel and
reporting yourself to Self- Gov—a
‘ measure to be reserved for the most
extreme_emergencies.
I assume that students are for-
bidden to sign out to hotels in the
-¥vicinity-- because they.. might be
tempted tc misbehave or because
they would be liable to the unplea-
sant attentions of ‘strarigers. These
are’ certainly valid reasons.
However, I see no reason why the
college could: not try to maké an
arrangement with a hotel in Phila-

girls each weekend, No men would:

Let me cite .
. med up in his own words:
The Wal-:
. “psycho-political diplomacy”. involv-
ing the use of varied techniques of |
nuclear missile backmail, propagan-
da, espionage, demonstrations and
guerilla warfare. ©
These methods are used by the
Communists, Mr. Atkinson said, to
‘ preyent.. America from acting. posi-
tively. Soviet threats have led toa
fear in the United States that ic
this country takes decisive action
_against. the Communists, it will re-
sult intvitably' in a total nuclear
war.’ . From this feeling has arisen
“the attitude “better Red than dead.”
Mr. Atkinson quoted President
Kennedy’s words, “what’s mine is
mine, what's yours. is negotiable,”
as an accurate description ot: Soviet
psycho-political ‘ poticy.
_Lhus..American foreign policy is
‘being influenced by threats of two,
‘alternatives: ‘peaceful coexistence,
which Mr, Atkinson termed, “sur-
render on tne installment plan,” or
‘total iuclear war,” He feels that
there exist. three main*inhibitors of
effective U. S. foreign policy.

warfare.

OPINION USELESS
Mr. Atkinson potmted to the ex-
amples of the “butchery in Hungary’
and genocide in Tibet” during which
world opinion was so little orgahiz-
ed as to be useless. Mr,, Atkinson
feels that the United ‘States’ hand
is being stayed by the fear of world
disapproval. - Pi
Mr. Atkinson’s position is sum-
“Bither
we must take the initiative or be
rolled back from one position to an-
other.”
In answer to questions, he ex-
pressed the view that U. S. propa-
ganda: only proved effective when
under a single agency, Selectivity
is of prime’ importance in foreign
aid. He also stated that the ‘insti-
tution of a Freedom Academy in the
United States. comparable to the
Lenin School of Politieal * Warfare

is an imaginative concept that could |
be explored. This academy would
teach the principles of democracy. to
both Amerizan and foreign students.
Mr.’ Atkinson. said’ also that it is
necessary to use the same tactics’ as
the Soviets use; it is not. sufficient
to say that America is above such
things, He deplores the attitude of
“fatuous Americans who believe .

Columbia Corrects Error
In Review of Art Exhibit
To the Editor:
I’ would like to call attention to
a factual error in the edition of
your paper which appeared Wed-
nesday last, in which you claim
_ that the glass at Janschka’s open-
ing was broken by_a “Haverford
student.” This is ridiculous. I have
been assured that no Haverford
student could have: the backbone
to do anything of the-kind. Ask
Janschka, ~
I am the person who broke the
glass..I can assure you that I do
not attend Haverford.
Please make a note of that.
