Phoenix 11 Thursday, April 14, 1949 Editorial: FOOD The function of any college newspaper is undeniably nebulous. In the case of a college the size of Swarthraore the things that a paper can expect to accomplish through its editorials are very slight indeed. Probably the wisest Staff is one which appreciates its limitations quite coldbloodedly and concentrates its primary efforts elsewhere. Unfortunately we cannot shut ourselves in our equivalent of the Ivory Tower. Though we might construct a very proper one of copy desks, linotype slugs and copypaper mortared with printers' ink and surmounted by galley proofs, page proofs, and gleaming rolls of newsprint, we are inevitably as concerned with student affairs as the next man—perhaps even more than some because our jobs lead us to probe into all sides of campus life. Futile though it may be, we inevitably clutch at any straw, when we see something that wants correction. Many times the Phoenix has made suggestions of a constructive, concrete nature. They are followed only rarely. It is a point of pride with the administration, it seems, that they have so seldom seen fit to follow the Phoenix's ideas. And although we are inclined to think that most of our ideas have a certain merit to recommend them, we tend to bow to the judgment of the administration. On one point, however, we and most of the other students tend to be consistently at odds with the administration. We mean college food, if you can call it that. The administration, out of touch with both students and the dining room, probably thinks we are soreheads on this subject. The fact is that along with an overwhelming majority of the students we are just hungry. Last spring the Phoenix ran an editorial treating this problem. We implored the college to take advantage of the summer vacation to investigate the whole situation carefully and find out why the meals are so bad. We suggested that a complete reorganization was needed. The committee system is well established here; a committee on food might have accomplished something. However, the Phoenix request was studiously ignored. The food remains just as it was, excepting days arranged for visits by parents and alumni. Students subjected to the food know well enough what we mean. For the benefit of those who control the dining room's fate, but do not have to eat there, we have a few questions. When the college hires dieticians, why do we have to have the same combinations of the same foods week in and week out ? Why does the college buy old, smelly and often embryonic eggs? How much is saved by so doing? Are the omelets and scrambled eggs made from powdered eggs? If not, what is the matter with them ? Is the breakfast coffee left over from the night before? Why are the bakery goods stale so often? Why are the omelets tinged with green? Why do they always come with watery tomatoes? Why is the chicken soup always so very greasy? What is the "pea" soup made out of? What is in the "mystery balls" that turn up for lunch every once in a while? Where do the miniature pork chops come from? Are they really cooked in deep fat? Why are vegetables cooked so long that they no longer have any taste when served, while the potatoes come out almost raw? We have lots more illustrations, but that ought to prove the point. Now a few more general questions: Does the college shop around trying to get the best prices for things, or are there standard orders at one supplier, leaving the college at the mercy of the grocer? Are the vegetables good quality? Is it true that the meat is often "commercial" grade that is used by prisons, poor houses and the like? Why is it possible to go to a restaurant and get better food for less money, when the college has much smaller overhead, cheap student labor, and the crudest service? Has the administration ever considered putting the dining room on a concession basis, since it appears to be too much for the college employees to handle? Have they ever considered hiring an efficiency expert or restauranteur to find out how it should be run and straighten things out? Why is it not put on a basis of pay what you take, as it is at many colleges and not force the student to eat at college as is now done? The last system is in common use by colleges, it is more equitable since the student is not forced to pay for things that are inedible. Furthermore, it will force the college to make decent food available or the system would be a total loss. Such a system may seem at first glance to be too much trouble, but we have a large dining room staff (far to large as a matter of fact) and they might reasonably be expected to do something a good deal better than is done at present. So much for our gripe. The food is terrible. It seems almost certain to us that somebody is not doing his job right. That does not necessarily involve malfeasance. It may be just a matter of not making the changes required to do the job properly. The dining room is one of the least progressive elements at Swarthmore, and those in charge of it should definitely do something. The food is so bad as to be beyond any apology. If the administration is still stumped as to what is the matter and what ought to be done, we have plenty of ideas and will be glad to be even more explicit. And that goes for just about all the students. Furthermore, for a change we would like to hear from the administration just what they think of all this. Ignoring it isn't going to solve the problem, and there is no justification for keeping the students in the dark about what is being done. Ewing's Lecture Shows Belief In lnstitutionism By Fred Trescott "Disagreements in ethics, like disagreements in natural sciences, can be settled on empirica. grounds," concluded Dr. A. C. n,wing in his Cooper* Foundation .eciure entitled "Agreement anu iJisagreemeat in Ethics," last Sun uuy evening at the Meeting House.. ur. Ewing is a lecturer in philosopny at cainbriuge and auuior o. uooks on many philosophical problems, ine most, recent oeing •\uenaition of Good." In order to understand Dr. Swing's arguments he must be. placed in the proper context as an intuitionist—one who believes tha. all ethical statements must eventually be reduced to judgments ol intuition. In opposition are the empiricists who believe that at leasi omne etnical juugments may be analyzed entirely into terms 01 verifiable fields, for example sociology and psychology. The greater part of Dr. Ewing': address was directed against the statement by such philosophers as A J. Ayer that in many cases there is no objective criterion for the settlement of disagreements in ethics, that one must eventually fall back on the clash of the intuition. of two different people. "Intrinsic Quality" Ewing first defended the Intuitionist view by pointing out that even if one does not accept the "intrinsic quality" of ethical judgments and falls back on arguments irom the consequences of actions, he must leave room for Intuition eventually in determining what these consequences will be am. whether they in turn will be "good or bad." He listed three categories for present disagreement and prospective agreement in ethics. First, what is right or wrong in principle. Second, what is right or wrong in practice. And lastly the basic phil osophical problem of the link between the two. In the third case he drew the analogy of the philosopher who doesn't believe in the existence of the material world, but who still gets off the track when a train is coming. Disagreement on Principle Dr. Ewing explained that differences in principles often arise from cultural and social backgrounds, and therefore different individua perceptual patterns. As a result much disagreement arises becausC two people are not talking about the "same thing," subjectively Secondly, disagreement may arise from different beliefs in matters of fact. For example, a native tribe may believe in sacrifice of a humar Council Votes to Reform Collection The Student Council voted last Sunday in favor of allowing the Collection Committee to cancel Collection when no suitable program is available. Several proposals for changing the Collection program were discussed at the meeting of the council, with Andy Frank, chairman of the Collection Commitee, present. Suggestions which had jeen received by the council and which were considered at the meetng included: holding Collection jnly every other week instead of every week; substituting a fifteen.ninute silence period for the usual irogram; abolishing it entirely; and leaving Collection as It is, with the .irovision that the committee be able to cancel it when no program of general interest is available. The last proposal was the only one approved by the council, and suggestions made for Improving future programs were to encourage student participation whenever possible, to exchange programs with other colleges to decrease the number of lectures and also to increase th number of cuts from two to four. Fraternities No action was taken on the recent proposal that a form of the Amherst plan concerning fraternity discrimination be adopted at Swarthmoro. The council must wait until the fraternities here reach an agreement on it. The question of having extra service in the dining room for Saturday night and Sunday dinner was brought up again, and Dean Hunt is going to see the administration about having additional waitress service and tablecloths for these meals. In return, the students would be requested to dress in keeping with the improved service. In addition, Budget Committee Garnet Swimmerettes Dive and Dolphin To Offenbach Ballet by Haima Machlup A superb performance nearing irofessional perfection was given jy the Swarthmore Formation Jwlmming Group in their presenta. ion of a water ballet to the music jf Offenbach's "Gaite Parisienne" jn April 7 and 8. The 18 girls in the .-nsemble showed remarkable skill n the execution of the formations. Their rhythm, timing, and co-ordiiation were as polished as could e desired by an amateur group. Top honors should go to Joyce Kimjail and Edie Nye for their excelent job in arranging and directing the ballet. The routines showed ;reat originality; and their degree Df difficulty compared well with hat of professional water ballets. Jlever, colorful costumes added an •xtra delighted touch. Highlights Dolphins, back dolphins, and omersaults predominated in the cenes. The smoothness and graceullness especially of the back dollhlns was exceptionally good. The xcellent diving during the Internission started off sensationally vith swan dives by Dinny Rath and Till Morrel] from the balcony of he pool. Other highlights of the 'vening were a kick chorus on vater, several perfectly-formed roating wheels, a very cute humorous duet by Edie Nye and Joyce Cimball, the "brawl" ending with i terrific splash, the blue garters 'iewed during the cancan, and the Inal—a champagne glass formation. The men's pool was filled to capacity on both nights of the perormance. The audience, though -lightly uncomfortable because of 'he moist heat prevalent in the OAITE PARISIENNE BALLERINAS form rotating whe.l for their water production in the men's pool last Thursday and Friday nights.

Piscator, Modern Dramatist, Laments Present-day Theater by Flny Krimsky Theater Is not a commercial busl' ness, nor Is It an entertainment, but rather a moral institution, a "laboratory of men," said Mr. Edwin Piscator, speaking in the Meeting House Friday night. The theater must be freed from commercial- Ism and allowed to take its place beside the other arts. It must be liberated from the cabaret and the nightclub. Mr. Piscator, who was introduced by Mrs. Lange, director of L. T. C, spoke on "The Theater of Today and Tomorrow." Originally from Germany, he was director of the Volks Vuhne (People's Stage) there, and of the Staats Theater (State Theater). At another time he was Director of Dramatics at the German University in Paris. He also had his own theater and dramatic academy in Germany. Flscator's Productions Among his many contributions to theater in this country, Mr. Piscator has dramatized and produced "An American Tragedy." He has also produced "King Lear' with Sam Jasse, and put on "St. Joan" in Washington. He is now Director of the Dramatic Workshop of the New School In New York. His "field," If one could use such a term, is the epic theater. Mr. Piscator began by explaining that the reason for his "conservativeness," his love of the classics, lay in the education he had re* celved in the theater, at the Court Theater in Munich. There the students learned to speak In the classical manner; they were taught to admire the theater not from the standpoint of plot and action, but from that of language. They were not Interested In "Does the boy meet the girl or does he not?", but rather "How Is it done?" This was the classical approach, and Mr. Piscator confesses to having hated It. "It did not seem right." The emphasis of the voice was tremendous —it was expected to have a range of esthetic feeling like that of an opera singer. He remembers one actor with a voice so beautiful, so melodious, that one invariably missed what he was saying. But it did not matter. His voice was so beautiful that if he sat on a chair you did not see It. And the young man Piscator never saw the chair until one day this celebrated actor spoke a line In which he mentioned the chair upon which he sat. This was a shock to the youth. In fact it was his discovery of naturalism. He did not realize then that It would never leave him. He would always look at the chair, not at the language. Still, the feeling for language—poetry—remained with him. a desire for something more than the naturalistic stage gives. Results of Warld War I D Then came World War I. The young man who was always "dreaming of beautiful things, like a young Oscar Wilde." went Into the German army. He lived In the trenches. He found that to be an actor Is one thing, to face life another. And he came out of the trenches thinking that the theater should be neither the chair nor. the beautiful romantic language. It should be a mirror for man and his values, a means bv which he comes to know himself, to know the truth In himself. The theater he had known seemed ridiculous—lt no enough. But these ne wa'ms for'the theater—how were thev to be reached? In the German theater after th» war, Expressionism seemed to be the answer. Exnresslonfem was a reaction against "the slllv photography of n»tural'sm." atrMn«t the true oalnt'n* of details of the externals, of Zola and Hauptmann. The Expressionistlc plays were full of intense, screaming emotion, of fantasy sets which did not say "this Is a door," but rather, "this door is my prison." The Expressionists sought to penetrate through the external walls, to the core of man. From them came a new Weltanschaaung, Tolstoyan brotherly love, pacifism, responsibility to man. The epic theater is also an attempt to break through the socalled "false wall." The center of interest is in the center of the audience, the audience is part of the acting. The play is an example of life, Introducing into the theater the doctrines of lite. Modern American Theater The American theater has much talent, Mr. Piscator remarked. No Dther country has so many excellent writers. But it is not yet an institution of culture. The Broadway theater is the theater of for entertainment. There are single plays of great content but there Is no connection between them. The theater as a whole does not lead us. build up in us moral elements with which to face this time. The message of a nlay such as "The Iceman Cometh" is resignation; there Is nothing In It to build up" moral courage, the dignity of man. Man '«• pipe dreams, and around him life "oas on untouched. The same thing can be said of "Death of a Salesman." It Is an excellent niece of social analysis, but it does not strongly enough analyze our society. It does not sav anything universal, we do not feel that this man, and this profe«s'on represents us all, as we do in "Pillars of Society." In PrancCD todav the situation Is also bad. The tonic of the theater Is how man ends, and that there It no hope for man. Sartre sines of how man Is alone and no one can help him. The only solution, which is for man to free himself, leads only to anarchism. These symptoms all point the same way. The theater of today seems to be dead, to be leading nowhere. We miss both the poetry and the techniques. We have static stages and naturalistic sets. The theater does not develop new forms like modern music and painting. Even formally it is un-modern. Theater of Tomorrow So much for the theater of today. As for tomorrow—we can dream and should dream. Tomorrow the participation of the people must bnuch greater. A good play should be a cultivated taste—like wine, something to be sipped and sipped again. The theater should be built 'ike a teaching Institution. Also, It should have all modern meansnpen stages that go towards or sur•ound the audience (no more baroque!).As an example of modern technique, in his production in Gertiany of "The Good Soldier Schweik," Mr. Piscator was faced ''lth the problem that the entire ction centered around the wandering of the soldier from home to 'be front. To get across the feeling, Mr. Piscator had a treadmill constructed for the stage .with the man continually walkine on it. To' -Dakf the backeround move also he used movie film. The movies use new inventions ■•verv day* the theater has had no new inventions-since 700 years be*ore Jesus Christ. But more important than tht*. 'he theater of tomorrow should ' ave satisfying Intellectual thought as well as emotion. "IF should not -eek to All us with the wrong emo♦lons. hut with the right behavior. We much reach the point where "we can correct ourselves and ♦h'nk. If that could be reached through the theater I think tJfat would be the purpose of the theater."MR. PISCATOR talks informally in Bond after hit »p—ch. Medtner's Works for Voice, Piano And Violin Performed Tonight A concert of Medtner's works for violin, piano and voice will be presented in Clothier this Thursday evening, April 14, by the Cooper Foundation, the first Medtner pro- here in three years. It was arranged with the idea of bringing Medtner's name again to public attention, as his work is performed infrequently in America and therefore less known than that of other contemporary Russian composers. Only Medtner himself —who incidentally gave a concert at Swarthmore twenty years agohas played his concert! in this country.Discovered A Russian emigre, Medtner was living in retirement in England when discovered by the Maharajah of Mysore, who succeeded in having him record his concert! for piano and orchestra, two albums of which have already been Issued. Though seriously ill, he may also record his new Quintet for Piano and Strings, written during the war. Another of Medtner's works brought to light by the Maharajah has been the composer's book, "The Muse and the Fashion." Published in Russian at Paris in 1935, it was translated into English by Dr. Swann and some students of the music department here in 1945. Dr. Swann's classes have been reading and amplifying the book, which may be published soon in Its translation.Program Tonight's program will consist of two groups of songs and the Violin Sonata No. 3, the latter to be played by Eric Rosenbllth and Professor Boris Roubakin of the Toronto Conservatory, its first performer in America. Dr. Swann hopes to have the Sonata recorded during the concert by SN, possibly to be sent to Medtner afterwards. The soprano will be Mme. Maria Kurenko, a veteran performer of Medtner's music, and her accompanist will be Valentin Pavlovsky, a protege of Rachmaninoff, and another Medtner veteran. Several of he songs, such as "The Muse" and "Elegy," are poems by Pushkin, and one, "Our Age," will have Its first performance anywhere. Before the concert, Dr. Swann will say a few words on "Why a Medtner concert?" explaining that because Medtner has written no symphonies without piano, his work is rarely heard in America. The program will be: "The Muse'' "Day and Night" "The Willow" Mme. Kurenko, with Mr. Pavlovsky "The Butterfly" "Our Age" Violin Sonata No. 3 Mr. Roubakin, Mr. Rosenbllth "The Dawn" "The Roses" "Tranquility in Spring" Mme.

Dr. Fellow Outlines Future of Alaska In Geological Term In a Cooper Foundation lecture entitled "Geology Yardstick of Alaska's Future," Dr. Robert. Fellows discussed the relation of geology to some of the basic industries of Alaska and the possibility for growth of these industries, which would enable them to support an increased population. The head of the U. S. government's Alaskan Geological Survey gave brief outlines of the progress of mining, agriculture, construction and utilities to a group gathered at the Meeting House. After defining geology as the study of the origin, character, evolution and practical value of the earth, Dr. Fellows declared that although Alaska has considerable mineral wealth, it does not have as much as is popularly supposed. Among the handicaps to mining he listed the comparatively large amount of capital needed and the comparatively low price of metals. Although geologists are trying to find and appraise new deposits, he concluded that mines in Alaska will not contribute appreciably to the development of the territory. Permafrost The 500 farm families, scattered throughout the mountain valleys of the south, arc faced with a short growing season and a wide distribution of frozen ground or "permafrost." The Russians, as a result of experiment in Siberia, know more about growing crops on frozen ground than we do, Dr. Fellows said, but we are catching up rapidly. As things stand now, however, only about 900 more farm families could produce profitably. Dr. Fellows cited construction, both military and civilian, as a booming Industry which can, nevertheless, be expanded to ten times its present size. The only restriction is the somewhat prohibitive cost of bulldng materals, 98% of which are shipped in from the United States. However, the locations of large deposits, of all construction materials are known, and the information is being supplied to the public for the eventual development of local industry. Utilities Public utilities, according to Dr. Fellows, are in a pitiful state. In Fairbanks, a city of 8000, each house has its own well, there is no effective sewage disposal, and the river which flows through the center of the city floods every spring. The power supnly in Anchorage, population 20,000, is provided by "the business end of a Liberty Ship that broke in half at sea and was towed In." The future of utilities is bright, however. There is an abundant supply of water available, both for drinking and the production of hydro-electric power. Dr. Fellows concluded by stressing that geology is not only practical, but Is also a cultural science, deepening the appreciation of natural surrounding!-. » George Becker, Intellectual and Translator, Relaxes at Bridge by Am Garab George Becker does not wear a beret or sport a black string tie. He oes not sip pernod in "the little 'rench restaurant just around the corner." One cannot find him perched barefoot and cross-legged n the garret of some dismal Bohemian haven, discussing the theory f the universe and giving two ex mples. Furthermore, he will not xpound the class struggle at the Irop of a hat Nevertheless, he is ar ntellectual, and possesses that facilty for probing/beneath the surace of a problem that makes for cholarship. He seems to be "goint laces," despite the recent adagt hat progress Is directly proporional to dissipation. The aforementioned academic "mutant" may be found in his fflce in 118, in the austere chair top the podium of Parrish 22, or in red plush armchair In Commons. ?rom these haunts there emanates i grandiose intellectual operationlirected against the unsuspecting students of Modern Literature, Realism, and Social Criticism. The term "unsuspecting" is quite appropriate, for students enter his classes expecting to "learn something about literature," and soon find out they are in effect studying Ultimate Values in the Light of Recent Literature. The classroom is transformed into an ideological laboratory, wherein stude/its engage in the self-examination that inevitably must follow from a study of literary art. A "meaningful life" and "purposive thinking" are usually the motifs underlying whatever happens to be the topic of discussion. If education is a see-saw with Mark Hopkins on one end, and a student on the other, it is quite obvious what substitution the Swarthmore student body would make. Since he came to Swarthmore in the Fall of 1945, Mr. Becker seems to have modestly undertaken a number of apostolic duties that fol'ow from his dictum that "educa- Mon Is virtually the only thing that can save anybody, and even so, it's loubtful how many will be saved." Although quite often students' tend to think of Realism as his middle name, such association is "a bit extreme," for there is certainly a catholicity to his literary tastes. He labels Realism as the contemporary mode of writing, the ature of "pendulum swings," or 'eviatory patterns. As for the genre ■Df romanticism that typified Vlcorian England, Mr. Becker thinks "hat it was "overdone," and that ■uite often such writing was "su- perflcial" In character. Thus it may be seen that his prime interest lies in "the new things happening to literature in the past hundred years." And since the climate of opinion and attitudes of our generation may be said to be rooted in this period, such study becomes, in effect, the study of contemporary civilization. Mr. Becker Is the author of • number of articles for Commentary magazine, and recently translated Sartre's Anti-Semite and Jew. He is now in the midst of writing a book on Realism, which is to be followed by a study of Social Criticism. He is a member of the staff of the U. S. Quarterly Book List, a publication of the Library of Congress devoted to the reviewing of contemporary literature. His leisure time is spent In the reading of detective novels and playing bridge. At the present time he is translating an article of the psychiatrist Jung, which he feels, offers an interesting, if confusing, insight into the works of James Joyce. While grocery store tending might afford an embryonic writer a good background for subsequent endeavors, Mr. Becker chides such writers to "start early, keep at it, and have patience." He is especially concerned about young writers who have potentialities, but who are lethargic and easily discouraged. They may be easily be overwhelmed by the need of making a living, but he doubts that pre-fabricated, air-conditioned garrets are the answer either. MR. BECKER, modern intellectual, shown not tipping pernod in a garret. He it probably not expounding the class struggle, either. MR. BECKER by Art North NSA Features Music Festival, Art Exhibition The most ambitious program presented by the Pennsylvania Region, U. S. National Students Association (PKUSNSA) during 1949 will be ottered on Friday and Saturday, April 22nd and 23rd, at the Met Theater, Broad and Poplar Streets in Philadelphia. The Festival win feature representative music from twenty conege campuses throughout tne state in three performances, all dttterent, which will be held on Friday and Saturday evenings anu on Saturday afternoon. MUxui and welsh Choir Swartnmore College will be represented on the music side by Jbck Maxim, who will present a program illustrating music from ditterem periods oi musical history, as classical, romantic, modern. The Wel&i. Choir under the leadership of Parry j ones and Waiter White will offer several Welsh hymns and folk songs. Other Garnet representation in the program is the Folk Dancing group, which will present a series of American and foreign folk dances. Items on the program in- Ciuae selections from "HmS Pinaiore," the Lehigh band, a modern danging group, and male, female, and mixed choirs, as well as vocai and instrumental solos and- duets. * in addition to the musical portion of the program, the lobby of the Met will be used for ah exhibit oi collegiate paintings and drawings. Several paintings wll be sent from Swartnmore. Sally Hyslop Is in charge of entries here. Financial Need In presenting the Music Festival, the NSA is gambling on the support of the various campuses throughout the state as well as the public at large. Financial failure ol the Festival would just about kil. most of the NSA programs, especially the Purchase Card plan in this state, for several years. Realizing this, the Swartnmore NSA Campus Committee has set up some special groups to sell tickets on this campus and in the village. Gwen Hamilton is in charge oi selling tickets for the committee. Tickets are one dollar for each of the three performances and can be bought in front of the dining hall or from various students around the campus. Tickets will also be on sale at Michael's and at the Met Theater. Students are needed by the NSA Campus Committee to help sell tickets, solicit patrons for the Festival and publicize the work of the NSA in this connection. Interested parties should contact Committee Chairman Ralph Smith. Debaters Score High in Ursinus Bout, End Two-Week Siege Strenuous activity during two weeks gave the debate squad 9 victories, 10 losses and 4 no-decisions —a total of 23 contests against colleges from Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, D. C, and Virginia. Sixteen Swarthmore students participated in these clashes, debating both compulsory health Insurance and federal aid to education. Swarthmore failed to retain Its championship of the Ben Franklin Debate Tournament, but the team placed high with six wins out of ten. Debating affirmative on federal aid to education, Bill Gooding and Dick Heath won three of their five bouts*; Andy Segal and Bill McMillan also took three out of five On the negative. The tournament .took place at Ursinus the weekend of March 25-26, with many colleges from the Philadelphia area. Win Witcraf t and Bill Dusinberre made the semi-finals in the Eastern regional ellmlnaton tournament at Temple the same weekend/ They defeated Seton Hall, Rutgers and Lehigh, and then bowed to George Washington and Stevens Institute. The team argued both sides of compulsory health Insurance. YOUR HONEYMOON MUST BE PERFECT MBl«w ycu Ilk., the th'nn you anjov dotat CUn hill..

Although the play will be given in French, an English synopsis arid abundant use.of gestures will make ft understandable to those whose French is feeble. The play will not be presented exactly in the style of the 17th century, when it was written, but will include 20th century farclal elements. The plot of the play has two main threads—a romantic one dealing with the marriage of the heroine, and a critical attack on the dogma and stupidity of the contemporary medical profession. The imaginary Invalid of the title is Ar;an, played by Michael Wertheim- Wt. Caroly Wilcox plays his wife, Bellne, who married him for his money. Malcolm Wlllson takes the part of his brother, Berolde. The Rot Sickens Argan Is so convinced that he is chronically 111, that he arranges for his daughter, Angelique (Dolores Dunstan) to marry a young medical student, Thomas Diafoirus (Jack Lirlo), so that he can have medical care for the rest of his life. Angelique,Angelique, however, is In love with Cleante (Frank Elliott). Fortunately, Argan's servant, Toinette (Arpine Levonian), who it loyal to Angelique, schemes to get Argan's consent for Angelique's marriage with Cleante and ridicules, for the benefit of both Argan and the audience, the medical profession of the time. Judy Wolfson is in charge of properties and music for (he production and acts as stage manager. The costumes and the sets are* done by Ellen Meyer and Dick Mason, respectively. The play, according to Director Ackart, "will be very funny." Thursday, April 14, 1949 THE SWARTHMORE PHOENIX Three

Credit North Unaccustomed as he is what—what Is it he said he's unaccustomed to?? Letters to the Editor To the Editor: This letter Is written to those readers who have as yet not made up their minds on where they are going to spend their summers and to those who have decided on the beaches. It is written as an attempt to interest you in working in a mntal hospital, and because I understand the Collection Program making the same attempt was not entirely a success. I have no idea what was said in Collection so I hope what follows is not too repetitious. First of all, let me say that of* the four or five summer jobs I have had, my work last summer at Norristown was by far the most interesting and satisfying. It left me with the feeling that here was an exper.ence that nearly every college student could undergo profitably. It brings you into contact with a culture that too few know anything about, a culture, incidentally, into which, present statistics indicate, one out of ten of us will move some day. 1 am not talking about any deep-down psychological knowledge, simply about a knowledge of the behavior of mentally sick people and int.D way mey are cared tor. i'uis is not in condemnation of existing conditions. Admittedly, they are not good, but under the circumstances they are not bad, and they're improving slowly. But they will improve more rapidly only with better general understanding, and ine omy way to get belter general understanding is for more people to have a knowledge of what is needed. Right now more money is needed for both building and personnel improvement. The money that is being appropriated is used mainly for the former. A consequence is that many of the people hired to work as attendants are not really qualified or concerned enough to do the work properly. That's why there is such a tremendous need for people of the "college level" of understanding and tolerance, if only for a summer. The work sometimes is hard, the hours pretty long, and the pay less than it could be (you can save $l50—$200 in a summer) but if you are In a unit such as we had last summer living on the campus at Haverford, life in general is quite enjoyable. The evenings were what many I knew at Swarthmore dreamed of (and a few realized), living on a campus with no studying to do. They provided plenty of time for reading, a phonograph, a movie, tennis, sw.mining, or what have you. h inally, it doesn't take any special knowledge of or interest in psychology to do this type of work and enjoy it. All it takes is an interest in helping a less fortunate group of people, not with money for a change, but with yourself. If you try it for a summer, I guarantee an experience that you'll never loiget or regret. Please, if you are as yet unuec.ded about what summer, 1949, holds in store xor you, at least Inquire as to the possibilities of this work which will prove valuable to those you help and even more so to yoursen.

His subject was "Three Dimensional Photography." The Conference, held at the George Washington University, was made up of 300 students from seventeen colleges and universities in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, New York, Delaware and the District of Columbia. D Dr.Wright Gives 'Conservative' View of Religion The SCA sponsored another In a series of talks given by faculty members on their approach to religion Sunday night—this time by Dr, Wright of the physics department. Dr. Wright opened with the comment that he as an older person would speak from the conservative point of view. While younger people, he said, are usually Impressed with things that a hould ■be changed, as they become older they begin to see more and more the things that should dflnltely be kept. The question he raised then was whether or not there is anything in religion that should be held on to in modern times. Religion has largely concerned itself with these two aspects: what man believes tfl be the nature of God, and what is expected of man in religion to God. In answer to the first question, man has generally thought of God in terms of a father who loves his children, plans for them, and takes care of them. His love for us is naturally enchanced by our need of a God. That we do have this need is supported by the fact that men in the past who have made the greatest progres1 in their quest for religious insight have become more and more aware of their own shortcomings and their dependence upon God. God the father is an antrophomorphlc term, but Indeed the only way we can conceive of a God is in an antrophomorphlc sense. We support the thesis that God is a loving father by the fact that he has given us a planned" orderly universe. It is true that there is perhaps equal evidence to show that God is an indifferent father, and we must make the choice of which view to accept. Or. Wright finds the assumption that God is a.loving father leads to less futility ui Ufa. He accepts this view on faith—the same faith with which he trusts in the laws of physics. This concept of God the father raises some disturbing questions. Too often each group tends to think of themselves as God's chosen people and pictures God In terras of their own culture. The results of this tendency, which has Its effects hen at Swarthmore in the Jewish discrimination, are obviously • violation of the concept of God the father of all people. Besides the nature of God, re- Melon also deals with what Is expected of man by God. Something which Christ emphasized in his teachings was the necessity to love thy neighbor. Dr. Wright pointed out that this Implies loving the "scum of the earth" with a love unmingled with fear. Just as love casts out fear, fear must cast out 'ove. The two cannot exist together. In regard to present day events, Dr, Wright is of the opinion that this principal accounts for the chief difference between the Marshall Plan and the Atlantic Pact The former had at least some elements of concern for the need of others. The latter is born out of fear and is designed for one purpose onlyprotection.As a conservative, Dr. Wright concluded, he would wish to restrain these two features of religion—a God who is a loving father, and man's love, free of fear, for his neighbors. Folk Festival Plans Ready for Weekend Of Singing & Dancing The weekend of May 6, 7, 8, will see the campus overflowing with students from Colleges in New England and the Philadelphia vicinity who have been invited to Join Swarthmore in a gay Folk Festival. Janet Anderson, program head for the Folk Festival, has packed three days vi(ith demonstration groups representing no less than seven nationalities, and other events ranging from Kentucky running sets to a jam session. The Folk Festival will get under way Friday night with English, Czech, and Armenian demonstration groups each showing their national dances. These groups will be followed by a big square dance in the field house with Irene Moll, Johnny Hoskins, Dick Montgomery and Bill Hun as callers. On Saturday, there are activities planned from morning right on through. Ed Potter and Duncan Hay will spend the morning teaching Kentucky running sets and English round dances. That afternoon there will be a Mexican dance group demonstration, and Woody Guthrie will sing. For the evening events, Scandinavian, Ukranian, and Irish demonstration groups have been planned. Afterwards, Dick Best, a caller from Boston, with his square dance group and orchestra, will lead the general ;quare dancing. A Jam session- Sunday morning followed by John Jacob Nlles singing will bring the weekend to a close. Faculty and students may need only their athletic cards to Join in the fun. You don't even have to be a good dancer. Carolyn Wilcox, general chairman of the Folk Festival, will welcome anyone who wants to help in making the weekend a success.

being because, as a consequence, the whole tribe will be saved from death by plague. Britishers may not believe that the consequences will in fact follow. This is not a case of disagieement in ethics, but a case for scientific investigation. Swing added here the difficulties caused by belief in authority. But some disagreements on principle remain outside the realm of the sources mentioned above. For these more basic disagreements Dr. Ewing recommended the method of Plato. One could appreciate the intrinsic good of such a thing as justice If he could conceive a world where justice ruled. Plato tried to do this, and whether one believes that the world he created was the ideal that he started out for, his method was still a sound one. Here one may see the great service that writers may perform. Dr. Ewing added as a further example the elucidation of hedonism in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World." Disagreement on Particulars In regard to ethical judgments in particular cases, Dr. Ewing attributed most disagreements to the difficulty of balancing opposing considerations. These considerations often cannot be balanced numerically by- the Individual, since his weighing of considerations depends to a great extent on where his attention is focussed. The bias of the individual's focus results from a number of psychological factors, including his wishes, past experience, and prejudices. Hementioned further the case of those who just don't want to do the "right" thing. Numerous roads are open by which the individual may rid himself of his biases, through education and training. Those who will not take such steps to overcome distortion cannot blame their disagreements on lack of moral judgment. This would be like casting away a medicine which one has never tried or which tasted bitter. As a result, Dr. Ewing concluded that ethical disputes differ from those in the natural sciences only in degree. They can all be settled on an empirical basis without resort to individual differences in intuition. Teat of Coherence But intuition is not the sole factor, in ethics. It is not always true and certain (unless one makes that part of the definition of intuition), v/e must add the test of coherence; whether an intuitional judgment is consistent with such earlier judgments. Beyond this we may form an entire ethical system against which to check new judgments. However, one must not reject immediately an "inconsistent" judgment, since earlier judgment: may be wrong, or the new judfnent may contain elements which cause the conflict and which ma, je eliminated. In conclusion, Dr. Ewing summated by saying that ethical juag ments must be made on the basis of intuition together with the test of coherence. And further, disagreements in ethics can be decribed without resort to a metaphysical "disagreement of Intuitions."status was accorded to the Intercollegiate Conference on Government—if the committee has money to give it. These funds are needed to pay the expenses of delegates to a yearly three-day conference to be held this year in Harrisburg. A proposal was made to keep the library open all day on Sunday without closing from six to seven as is now the case. Dean Hunt is going to ask Mr. Shaw if the library can keep an assistant on at this time, or if not, the closing time can be changed to the more convenient hour from five to six. Because of the disturbance to those studying in the library caused by baseball games on the upper campus, the IFC is to asked to hold its games on the lower campus instead, and the council requests that unorganized games be played there, too. The Council also approved the appointments as new heads of the Student Employment Office of Jim Weston and Peg Allen who were suggested by the two Deans, council represenatives, Mr. Thatcher, Chuck Stabler and Keenie Scott, former heads of the S.E.O. pool area, was very appreciative. It was even feared that the frequent applause would hinder the swimmers in hearing the music, but it didn't seem to bother them.

the Score Card BADMINTON TEAM UNBEATEN AGAIN Swarthmore's most successful, and possibly leastnoticed, varsity continued its winning ways this winter to round off its eleventh season. The team was made a varsity in 1939 and since that date has apparently had more trouble in finding competition than in finaing competitors. In fact, except for a 2-3 loss to Bryn Mawr back in 1940, the team has never lost to another college. Over the 11-year span, it has won 246 individual matches, against 23 losses. Credit for this regord should go in large measure to Coaches May Parry and &d Faulkner. Under their tutelage, players who had never seen racquettes before reading bwarthmore were developed into steaay winners. They stres„ bom iorin ana strategy, ana Doth have the knack of able to spot ana correct tnose little aetails that make a big dinerence in smoothness and consistency.

Jean anu Clare uutli won every game they piayea by wiae margins, live pomts benig tne most any opponent could get troni them iu any game. DOUBLES LINEUP FLUID The doubles lineup was more fluid. No pair playec together more than twice in matches. This showed up to some extent in the scores. The singles players outscorea their opponents by a 6-1 ratio, the first doubles team by almost o-l and the second doubles by less than 2-1. This, however, served only to add a measure of excitement. Bobby Jamison and Jane DeVries started the season as the nrst uouuies combination, with Hope Sieck and Peg Allen playmg second aoubles. This was the lineup for the Drexel aim cneotnut Hill matches. For the Penn and Bryn Mawr matches, Coach Jr*arry moved Marge Davis up from the Jayvee to play first aoubls with Uobuy, and Jane joined Hope on the second doubles. Marge moved up another rung to play third singles in the final match with Rosemont, so Bobby and Hope played in the top doubles slot and Jane and Peg played second. Inasmuch as all are good players, the shuttling didn't really make much difference, and if another match were to be played, odds are pretty good that Coach Parry could figure out a still different and equally successful lineup. This year's varsity will lose three members via the graduation route in June, when Bobby Jamison, Clare Crol and Jane DeVries will get their sheepskins. Bobby has completed four years of varsity play; Clare, had she not spent her junior year in Switzerland, would also have played four, while Jane made this her first season. BASKETBALL TEAM OVER .500 The girls' basketball team, wkile not enjoying the badminton team's success, had a respectable season itself. For the first time in five years, the Gamettes did top the .500 mark, with a record of four wins and three losses. In addition, they outscored their opponents by more than 301 points, 243-211, for the first time in a similar span. With the exception of the first and last games,- with Drexel and Bryn Mawr, all of the contests were thrillers. The Gamettes opened by trouncing Drexel, 29-14, then nosec out Chestnut Hill, 29-25, and Rosemont, 31-28, coming fror. behind in the final minutes each time; then lost to Tempi by 40-33, Ursinus by 36-33, and Penn by 40-35 followed, and brought the season to a close by slaughtering Bryi Mawr, 53-28. The team has improved steadily during the three year Irene Moll has been coaching it. Coach Moll has spent most of the practice time on scrimmages and working out plavt. This year, with the largest squad Swarthmore basketball ha ever had, she split the practice time, and had the varsity anc first string JV work together, and the- rest of the squac separately. This arrangement, which cut down on actua' practice time for everyone, enabled its maximum utilization. .The coach uses a line-zone defense for the most part, after experimenting with several types of defense, and finding this the most effective.

A walk tilled the bases and on a fly b., Stuff two errors were committed, which cleaned the sacks, and gave Army its total of 10 runs for the game. Garnet Rally to no Effect Hal Winkler got the first Swarthmore hit in the third, but onlD in the seventh did the Dunnmei. move aman as far as second, when Roger Pott and Dick Hall singled iu. succession. In the e.ghth the Garnet nine filled the bases with one out, as Deacon got hit by a pitched ball, moved to second on Asplundh's hit, and the sacks were loaded when Gaskill singled. But McCarthy righted himself and induced Ersey to hit back to the box, starting a double play via the catcher. Bright Side The game did have its bright side for the Garnet rooters in the nice hurling of Esrey and his successor, Hall, and the fine play of the freshmen on the team. In all fairness to Ersey, it must be said that he would have fared much better with stouter fielding support, for only two of the Cadet's ten runs were earned. In his six Inning stint, Ersey struck out 6 batters and Hall blazed his fast ball by two Army batters. Never did either of them fall behind the hitters and such steady hurling should help Swarthmore during the season. Once the team gained its composure it played air tight defensive ball, and Army never threatened, being unable to hit Ersey's breaking stuff and Hall's fast ball.

Netmen Swamp Moravian by 9-0 Tennis commenced at Swarthmore, Thursday, April 7, with a nine-nothing shutout over Moravian College of Bethlehem, Pa. Play was on the whole poor for both sides because of lack of outdoor practice and bad weather conditions. Moravian had had only one previous workout and Swarthmore had been limited to two. The match was postponed from the day before because of rain. Swarthmore played minus services of Dick Kirschner who was languishing in seminar but with all layers moved up one notch, no ill effects accrued. Buck Shane Dlayed the number-one . match against Ken Robinson taking It in straight sets (as did all other .Swarthmore players) 6-4, 6-1. Robinson, who won the 'all -ournament a\ Moravian displayed a very unorthodox style, calculated to be pretty effective at this early time of the season. Steady and willing to run after all shots, Robinson nevertheless had very little on the way of a planned attack. He traded services with Shane for Ive games and then broke Buck's delivery to take a four-two lead. Then Buck settled down, took the let and calmly angled placements 'o accumulate most of his points. Said Robinson, whenever he falls n his posterior, he loses the match. lie did late in the first set. Others Win Easily Howie Fussell in the number two ipot did not have to strain to take Harry Newcomb, a hard driving, iut wild lefthander. The count was 5-0, 6-3. Dan Singer, Gerry Gould md Bob Taylor, particularly the 'itter, looked good in downing their opponents, Joe Connell, Howie Richardson and John McFadden. The closest set was a 6-4 in Quid's match. Lew Rivlin had no 'rouble at all with Sam Cann, who lespite a fairly powerful forehand, -sired on about every third shot. In doubles, Singer and Fussell 'ook the one and two men of Moavian, Robinson and Newcomb, 6-4 "-3 despite some rather wild topsdui volleying by Fussell. Bob Taylor and Gerry Gould played 'ery nice tennis to take Connell and Richardson, 6-1, 6-3.

Army Tennis Team Beats Swarthmore By 9-0 in Cold Wind The varsity tennis team was the, "guest" of Army on Saturday, April 9, along with our golf and baseball squads. The results for all three were, unfortunately, similar in complexion. The tennis team lost, 0-9. The court surfaces were hard and dry, but a strong wind and coldness did not aid accurate placements at all. In all, the match showed good effort on Swarthmore's part though in nearly all the matches Swarthmore didn't keep up its initial pace Buck Shane, playing number one In place of Dick Klrschner, drew Charles Oliver, current Eastern Intercollegiate Champion. Though Buck went down three and two to this "lefty," he looked graceful doing it. He took at least two love games off his own service, and broke through Oliver's serve. Oliver's service was not so hard as might be expected; he evidently decided to play safe due to strong winds, a factor which kept net play down to considerably less than normal.In other matches, Howard Fussell, number two; Dan Singer, number three, and Bob Taylor, number four, all took the first sets of their respective matches, but were all downed by the more steady ana unrelenting play of the Cadets. The doubles were more hotly contested than the singles, all three matches going three sets. * 81n5?£?—CD»ver defeated Shane, 6-3. 8-2; Stillson defeated Pussell. 2-6,6-1. 6-0; Malhafer defeated Sinner. 5-7, S"2- 2"f McMullen defeated Taylor. i"2- Vil 6"0: J*uer defeated Gould. 6-0, 6-8; Bondurant defeated Lehman, 6-3, 8-6.

Faculty 'Cagers' Down Girls' Six With the roar of cap guns and wild shouts of encouragement ringing in their ears, they were off! "Rabbit" Walker (complete with ears, face and tall), "Hobble-skirt" Sipler and Paul Ylvisaker, hooded with a new pointed head, played at the forward positions; "Guards" Irene Moll, Bruce Dearing and Philip Carruth completed the starting line-up for the faculty team which took the floor against the girls* varsity on Tuesday, April 7. Veterans Pat Meyer, Myra Pfau, Lucy Handwerk, Neely Wheeler, Sally Evarts and Jean Sartorius fought with far less vigor, but much more dignity than their enthusiastic opponents. Professorial Ingenuity Wins The faculty team, with substitutes of Bryce Wood, costumed in checked baggy pants, red shawl and hood, and armed with both a suction gun and water pistol which he used liberally In time of stress, Ed Faulkner, Jill Rowland, Dinny Rath and Bill Reaser, lagged at the half 13-6. In the second half, professorial ingenuity conquered varsity skill. Howard Sipler, yanking up his tight skirt with one hand, managed to sink four baskets. Dlnny, seated atop Sipler's shoulders, swished through four points. Jill Rowland, unable to break the tight guarding of the varsity, utilized the third basket in the gym, for a penalized score of 11V4. Irene Moll, displaying hitherto unknown wrestling skill, demonstrated her technique in a tussle with forward Lucy Handwerk.

Army and F&M Smash Swarthmore Golfers Swarthmore's golf team openel Its 1949 season on April 6, when it traveled to Lancaster, only to lose to a strong Franklin and Marshall club, BV4-V4. Three days later the greenswardsmen were shutout 7-0 by Army on the West Point links. Playing against a strong wind, the Garnet experienced difficulty at Lancaster. Chuck Reilly picked up the lone score when he staged a great rally to beat his opponent on the back nine. On Army 6500 yard links the team played under a unique scoring rule. Seven men competed for each team, with one point going to the man winning the most holes. The Cadets, who have been so strength- ened by new talent that last year's number one man has been relegated to the fourth spot, were victorious in each match. 8 THE SWARTHMORE PHOENIX Thursday.
