dergrad Legislature the previous
week. ‘As a result of the referen-
dum, the Deanery-Dinner system

ternate plan: a shortened’ and com-
plete dinner system,
PETITION,
A petition signed i 135 students,
more than the required ten percent
.of the undergraduate body, was: pre-
sented to the necitsetcae on Febru-
ary .27.
The petition demanded a campus-
wide referendum .before the elec-
tion to decide «which elections sys-
tem was to be used, the one ap-
proved by Legislature or the al-
ternate.
The results ofthe referendum,
conducted Thursday evening, sup-
ported the alternate plan by a
vote of 272 to 258:
The details of the alternate plan,
which will therefore be used this
year, are as follows: Two organi-
~ gations per night will present. their
candidates to
major hall — one organization: af-
ter dinnér and‘ one at ten o’clock.
. Only four days will ‘be - required
for the entire system.
To accommodate those who wish
to participate in both discussions,
the schedule. will be arranged so
‘that an -organization “with a -po-
tentially long discussion will be
presidential “each
paired with One whose discussion.
» will probably be relatively short.
The controversy over the elec-
tions. system resulted in a second
unusual. move for the Legislature
at the same meeting.
DISSATISFACTION
After the. petition for referen-
dum had been presented, Lynn .
~ Scholz, 66, said that atleast 25%
‘-of the -campus had expressed _dis-
satisfaction over the decision of
Legislature in regard to elections.
No one, however, was given the
opportunity to bring the’ matter
into open discussion because, she
said, Robert’s Rules’ of Order. is
“antagonistic to democratic prac-
tices,”’ Bd
She suggested, therefore, that a
committee ibe organized to study
the possibilities of modifying Rob-
_ ert’s' Rules or abolishing their use
-in- Legislature and ‘writing: a new
set of rules of order. Motions that
‘a committee be established, and
that it be composed of volunteers,
were passed.

Dolicies
In An Attempt To Replace Soda Fountain
by Anne Lov gren
‘It was announced this week .that
the College Inn will be kept open
until 12:00 p.m. on Friday and Sat-
urday nights and one weekday night
not yet decided on.
The decision was. brought. about
by the permanent closing of Soda
in Goodhart several
months ago. With no Soda, /Foun-
tain, there is no place on campus
where students. can eat-after 7:30
p.m. (except, of course, for Hall
Bookshops),
The dilemma of Soda Fountain
‘and whether or not it should be-res
opened: was discussed at the. Febru- es
ary meeting of the College Council
and also, by Undergrad. One plan
considered was submitted by the col-
lege maids and porters. They offer-
ed to assume total responsibility for
managing and operating Soda Foun-
tain, provided that it would be on
“@ permanent basis..
It was. felt, however, that because
of its size and location, Soda: Foun-
tain could never be made a. /profit-
able venture. Therefore, Soda Foun-
tain will remain closed for the pre-
sent and its ostensible function
taken over by the College Inn.
N. S. F. Awards Stipends

World Traveler, Goshal, Analyzes Goals And Functions

4 by. Gail Sanger
Mr. Kumar. Goshal’ presented an
informative and well documented, if
unconvincingly . idealistic discussion
of “The Neutrals and’U. S. Foreign
Policy” for Current Events.
.Most of Monday night’s discussion
consisted of a dogmatic presentation

‘goals and function of the “neutral”

this. was a realistic, analysis of the
alysis, however, Mr. Goshal proceed-
ed to draw conclusions about U.S. =
foreign policy. which’ I- cannot help

In his basic. afgument Mr. « Go-
shal“ made several important points.

- Naturally the U. S: would” profit by

would “only incur hostility. . from

Mr, Goshal disclaimed the oe ;

true. He impliés; however, that. this
diversity negates the possible dan-

neutrals fight theirs internally.

No major ralsoratite of the Inn
is-planned until the summer, but if
its-expanded function appears to be
successful, it will continue next
year and possibly» be redecorated
and turned into a full-time student
anion, This possibility depends en-
‘tirely .on the success of the plan
that_will be put into operation this
month.
In an effort to reduice - running *
costs of the Inn, the committee has
further suggested the elimination’
_ of advertising in Philadelphia news-
papers. The. Inn will be in a lo-
cation ‘more central to the cam-
pus when Erdman Hall has been,
completed, so that it can be fully
_ devoted to student use. But the com-
mittee felt that something had to be
done immediately.

either: purchase additional copies’

Owen Lectures On Symbols,
Puck, Poppies, Dead Hares
David Owen, Professor of history.
at Harvard, enlightened Bryn Mawr-
ters with slides of a papier Maché
piano -and a centerpiece of dogs,
trapped rats and a dead hare, ac-
companying his lecture, “The Cry-
stal Palace and Victorian Taste,”
Monday. ‘
‘The Crystal Palace, Soleus dur-
ing a “meeting of the Midland Rail-
road Board of Directors, hoyised an
exhibition of British industrial and
commercial art. It was a mammoth
building. of glass. and iron, contain-
ing such oddities as a walnut wood
ship’s couch which could serve as a
life raft in case of emergency.
According to Mr. Owen, this ex-.
hibition,, which opened in 1851, re-
flected many of the stupidities and
_viligarities of Victorian ‘decoration:
superornamentation, mixture of
styles, over-use of nature _motifs
and Victorian symbolism.
THE CHAIR
An example ‘of such - symbolism
was a chair, “The. Daydreamer,”
made of papier maché. On the back
of the; chair were two winged
thoughts — Happy and Sorrowful.
The chair was strewn with poppy
side Puck*had “passed out with a
poppy branch in his hand.”
The Victorians were still experi-
menting with new materials. They
were discovering the possibilities
of papier maché and gutta percha,
-but had not yet discovered their li-
mitations, according to Mr. Owen.
‘Victorians tended to mix their
styles, sometimes combining four
‘different styles.in one chair or lec-
tern. A Gothic structure would rest
on a zoological: base, and a™fire-
screen depicting: a martyr’s mem-
~- poriak--would--stand-—-on alananaie
wrought-iron feet.
‘ Mr. Owen related the Victorian
love of. ornamentation on every
stick of furniture: to the middle-
class yalues of the time. They were a
- ‘hard-working grouf’ of people. To
satisfy’ their. moral sense, they
wanted their: furnishings to “in-
Victorians had applied them to
‘everything.
New materials and processes and
an increasingly democratic social
temper “in” the 1850’s ‘and 1860’s
-changed the problems of decoration.
“The Victorians were careless of
the ends,” said Mr. Owen, “because
the means were infinitely exciting.”

In Enjoyable Choir Concert
by Nina Jean Greenberg, ’63
The concert given.in Goodhart
Hall on Saturday night, March 2,
by the Bryn Mawr College Chorus,
_-conducted.- by. Mr.. Robert. Goodale,
andethe Hamilton College Choir and
Brass Choir featured an enjoyable
program of works by composers
from Byrd to Persichetti.
The two sections of the concert,
presented by Bryn Mawr alone in-
cluded* Chabrier’s ““A~ La ~ Musique,”
in. which Miss Shirley . Van. Cleef
was soprano soloist, 4nd two Hun-
garian folk songs: by Kodaly; well
conducted by Miss Gillian Bunshaft
of the Bryn Mawr Chorus. While’
better diction and a better balance
between soloist and chorus might
have enhanced the Chabrier, the
. piece was performed in a flowing
and. convincing manner, *_.
The best executed part of the
_concert was the. section sung by the
Hamilton Choir under the direction
_ of Mr. Jonn L. Baldwin, Jr. The
group was a pleasure to hear. They
very obviously’ know the “import-
ance of unified and sure releases as
well as attacks, and- their. dynamic
range, tonal quality, and diction are
“not those of many a college group.
One of the most notable achieve-
‘ments of this “choir is the fact that
they sing with style. Furthermore, ,
a listener would’ not have been
-~tempted--to--think -that~>they~- were
merely a chorus of individuals, but
rather a selection of musicians
whose voices have been blended con-
sciously into a whole.
This in particular is a point which
Bryn Mawr Chorus has not yet re-
alized; for there are a few voices

The caricature of the presiden-
tial aspirant is complete with rock-
ing chair, but the political jokes are
gentle and taken in.fun. The chorus
of which Miss Derriere isa member,
portrayed by ten leggy Penn men,
keeps the audience howling with ts
accurate. impersonation of. femmes
fatales.
; “the show has twenty-two musical
numbers and lasts for over two
hours, but the pace never slows.
There are few~missed cues, off-color
or “in” jokes.
_ The cast. seems-to have a rollick-
ing good time and the merriment is
contagious. »- <
The effect presents a contrast
with the atmosphere that envelops
similar Bryn Mawr student produc-
tions. Perhaps a comparison is un-
fair since the Mask and Wig Club
is semi-professional, but there is no
reason ‘ that-Bryn...Mawr shows
shouldn’t. be just.as good.
The “imagination of writers, dir-
‘ectors; and actors at Bryn Mawr
‘abound with images of pet subtle-
ties, painful obscurities, and twisted -
witticisms—all of ‘which might , be
more appropriate in a personal
diary. Adequate interpretation by
the actors is limited by a lack of
time and talent. The actors usually
scramble around the.stage in fran- ~
_tie efforts, and the audience sits and —
contemplates “Meaning” as though
it were embroidered on the back of —
each actress’ gym tunic. ~~ -= ~~
The Mask and Wig production
points up clearly that student pro-
ductions can be delightful — to the ———
outsider as well as the group which

Plans Tokyo Visit

C. Michels, Chairman of the Bryn
Mawr Physics’ Department, will
be going to Tokyo, Japan to: at-
tend a‘ meeting of the Panel on
Education in the Scienéés of the
Joint U.S.-Japanese Committee on
Scientific Cooperation.
During ‘his official visit. to the
United States two years ago, the,
Premier of Japan made an agree-
ment with President’ Kennedy pro-
viding for mutual aid between the
two countries in the sciences.
As a result of this agreement, a
‘committee was formed under the
auspices of the State Department
with the cooperation and financing ~
of the National--Science~-Founda-
The committee, headed by
-Dr.--Harry Kelley; now: Dean of
the University of North Carolina,
started work in fields of joint in-
terest: oceanography, meteordlogy,
medicine, etc.
At the last meeting, the Commit-
tee decided’ to form .a panel to
study science education in Japan
and the United States.
The United States panel. discov-
~ered- that. in order tobe of aid to
Japan, it would have to see what
problems. are common to the ‘sci-
ence education programs in, the
two countries.
Tokyo which Mr. Michels will at-
tend will attempt to discover com-
mon. problems and to initiate ap-
propriate joint action:

By “empty holes,’ I mean such
details as. the missing statues: on
the. library. As’ you approach the
M. Carey Thomas “Library from
the front, you immediately see
three shallow shrine-like alcoves
dug out ofthe wall, two side by:
“side and one above ‘them, forming
a pyramid, The ‘one on top holds a
statue of unknown nature;. the
other two. are empty.
" Perhaps they are in honor of
two dethroned Roman gods. If -this-.
is so, we pay hémage to quite a
few dethroned. divinities, for as
you walk arouhd the library, ‘you
see on the rear of the building,
several- more “empty holes.”
Empty holes aren’t the only in- :
explicable architectural phenome-

ticed the porches and_porti¢ds?
Surely those on the dorms are
welcomed, but why are there three

ing the road seems to be a perfect
place for delivering political or

Perhaps the most

the’ office, there is a beautifully
carved, -large, white piece of
marble on the. wall, consisting of a
big, empty rectangle, around which
angels look inward and upward.
Beneath this relief is carved, “Hic
Panis ‘est qui caelio descendet.”
(translation: “This is Pan who
comes down from the sky.”). To
the best. of my ability, however, I
cannot find Pan. Perhaps the an-
gels are looking up in expectation
of his descent?
