-Time, Participation, Imagination Needed To Reach BMC Goals
Viewpoint :
By Harris Wofford
President, Bryn Mawr College
now . Our trajectories in time will not
meet, and it is not, as editor Espo suggests,
(NEWS, March 5), a matter of needing more
tim e to become " mas ter" of my "own
house ."
It is not " my house" and no one is
going to b ecome " master " of Bryn Mawr .
Decision - m aking is shared in a remarkable degree , in a plan of academic
government designed to require different
parts of the academic community to work
together and to persuade each other. Though
I was not here to partiCipate in the original
drafting of this plan , which for the most
part merely up-dated the previous plan to
fit the division into three schools, I was
informed of its details and agreed with them .
The faculty and student committees , the
joint faculty - student committees depending
Nineteen months ago, at the end o f my
first visit to the ollege , a student said,
" It's so tragic . You've been here all day
but we haven't s hown you the true soul
of Bryn Mawr . " When I said that there
should be world e nough and time, that it .
was probably earlier than she thought she
said, " Not fo r me, I'm a senior, this is
my last chance t o tell you.'' Then we talked
some more.
After nine months here , I am still just
beginning to know something about the
soul. the body politic and the material
well -being of Bryn Mawr. No doubt my
determination to listen and learn is disappointing some, especially those who will
be graduati ng soon and want to see c hange
upon consens us , m eetings of the faculty and
various academic council s and the board of
directors take time, often a lot of time. The
system certainly has many checks a nd ba la nces which on occasion any one of us will
find frustrating . But in recent tests-- on the
decision not to sign the Pennsylvania informer law , on coeducation, a nd on cooperation with Haverford -- lt seems to me to be
working, and working better than most
s hortcuts work. To paraphrase Churchill ,
our slow and careful way of doing important things is the worst form of government -- except for all the others.
It is natural for those who mc.de various
proposals for curricular reform la st yea r
or the year before to want to see their
dreams or, as t hey might say, demands
realized before they go. Having just come,
however, I am most of all impressed by the
strength and high quality of the College.
I am impressed by the devotion, seriousness and scholarship of the teachers and
their readiness to add seemingly endless
hours i n committee wo rk. I am impressed
by the degree and ma nner of participation
of students in most of the College's adminis trative bodies, including the Curriculum Committee, the a dmi ssions committee , the coeducation committee, the
College Council a nd the Self-Government
Honor Board, and the new committees on
costs and fees and student participation in
the Board of Directors . So I am primarily
impressed not by what The NEWS calls
Bryn Mawr's "peculiar inefficiencies," but
by its peculiar efficiency.

H'fOrd Studen.ts Begin Pu sh
For'C ommunity Committees'
By Joe Seiler
Three students active in Haverford Stu dent Government have sent a m emo to
all members of the College admi nistration ,
urging the establishment of a commun ity committee system .
The authors, Jon Delano, Bill Lough rey. and Bob twood , said that change
is necessary in the committee system
if it is to f unction effectively.
They claimed that the present system
i s inadequate a nd serves only to m a in tain the status quo.
According to the memo: "W.e s~em to
be entering a period of stagnatiOn In College life , where only a few i.n dividuals
(mostly students ) take the iniUative for
change a nd where these few encoun~er
the imposing barrier of the unrespon siVe
' faculty committee.' "
The memo lists several faults of the
present system. 'Our 'faculty committees'
have been unable to respond quickly t? th,~
needs of the whole College commumty.
The m e mo cited several reasons for
this failure :
' No Final Power'
-- " 'Faculty committees' do not have
the final power of decision; they only make
recommendations;
.
--"With minority student membership,
there i s often a predominance of con s ervative faculty viewpoints;
- - " 'Faculty committees' often s uffer
because of their lack of knowledge about

Autonomy and Power
The NEWS notes with great pleasure that the new Student Government Association at Bryn Mawr has been granted complete autonomy by the Board of Trustees .
This achievement puts Bryn Mawr well ahead of Haverford in the area of student
government. There is an insidious clause in theStudents ' Association's constitution
that makes its actions conditional on its maintenance of "the standards of the
College to the satisfaction of the Administration . " This is an outmoded and unreasonable check on the self-governing power of the Association, and should be
corrected.
It is true that the Haverford administration has not invoked this c lause . The
more important student effort should be and lately has been, directed toward
greater student influence on committees . We support the memorandum issued this
week by Jon Delano, Bill Loughrey, and Bob Atwood, which argues, convincingly
we think, for the establishment of true "community committees."
It is unfortunate , we think, that two of the Students' Council's top officers,
President Larry Phillips and Second Vice President Jim Smalhout, are taking
a different and less effective course of action. P hillips seems to be circumventing the
whole question, devoting his time instead to the establishment of rather vaguelydefined "task forces." Smalhout is hoping that faculty members will simply get
tired of committee work and that students can then take over their functions by
::: default.
.··
The NEWS thinks that the question of student voice on committees should
be recognized fo'r what it is--a struggle by students to take some of the power
over their own concerns that the faculty currently possesses . We agai n support
the idea that faculty committees should become community committees, and
that the decisions of these committees should be subject to the approval of the
Students' Council. Only in this way can Haverford students come to have any
real influence over decisions which affect their entire way of life.

handled in the first place.
Freshman Programs
Bi-College cooperation took a big and rather unexpected step this week with the
announcement of the probable synchronization of the intro ductory courses in the
history a nd Englis h departments. This , we think, is precisely the direction in
which academic cooperation should move: a combined introductory course , and
joint planning of upper leve l course s to avoid duplication.
At the same time, the apparent futility of a ny coordination of freshman programs
at the two Colleges became c lear. A few years ago, when Haverford still had a
freshman Englis h requirement, cooperation wou ld have been infinitely simpler .
But the a doption of freshman seminars ·in its place has put a large gap between
the philosophies and approaches of the two school s in this area.
Now , however , it has become apparent that the freshman seminars have more
or les s failed in one very important respect: they are not teaching freshmen
to write . We agree that thet·e must be a more rigorous program for freshmen
with English professors carefully examining the style and c ontent of their writing .
We also ' think, however , that Bryn Ma wr i s som ewhat too rigorous in this area.
There is room, even within the confines of a p rogram whose purpose is mainl
to teach freshmen to write , for enough differentiation of subject matter to keep
students awa ke in class . We question whether literary criticism is the only
pos&ible s ubject for a freshman comp paper.
At any rate, we are not entirely sure that cooperation should be the determining factor in this case. The difference in emphasis between the two Colleges
programs is considerable; and both Bryn Mawr ' s stress on good form and Haverford's on interesting content have their attractions . Thi s is an area, we think: ,
where discussion between the two schools could be productive a nd stimulating even
if it did not lead to a complete amalgamation of the programs.

formerly billed $1.35 for each quarter which was collected; from now

Argum ents against the fee were
that m en from schools other than
Haverford were taking advantage of

based which showed that men eat

To the Editors:
T he letter by Misses Lippman and
Mandell (NEWS, March 5) is to be complimented in that it has aroused one
historically apathetic reader to the point
of indignant reply , While the epistle was
intended (I laboriously surmised) as an
attack on President Wofford, it succeeded only as a devastating and appalling
butchery of the English language. I can
imagine acute pain in the guts of many
as they read the following sentence (?):
"The fact that Wofford did not show
up, and did not even tell us in advance
that he would not show up , when we had
made detailed plans and had invited an
eminent administrator from another university to familiarize him with other
women's studies programs in the country, exposes his true opinion of his committment here and especially his attitude
towards students."
For too long have we been subjected
to the profoundly illogical and now unintelligible rantings of the ladies in the Women 's
Studies Committee. Poor us. Poor Coleridge, Poor show,

aspirations of the Women's Lib movem ent,
who see no truth or justice in them. We
are not necessarily apathetic because
we con't raise our voices with yours ,
Little it seems you know , 0 Miss
Bedinghaus, of the battles we may have
to wage on our own front (so to speak)
if we choose as our cause a personal
balance between liberation and isolation.
We have no slogans to hide behind ; we
don't invoke Betty Friedan or Kate Millett to sanction the acts we commit on our
own behalf.
Surely we have the right to fear "losing
our men "-- not such a petty fear as your
dis'paraging tone makes it seem. We are
justified in this as human beings, because ,
apathetic as we seem to you, some of us
have managed to give of ourselves and
receive in part the self of another person- why should we fear the loss less if he is
male?
We are all too conscious that as things
stand now , many social and cultural fa ctors tip the scales in favor of his maleness--this is frustrating , and we cannot
accept iL But sitting in a meeting listen ing to a lecturer or spouting ready - made
slogans does not prove to me that I a m
a lion and not a pussycat- -honesty and the
execution of my convictions in confrontation with another person does- -and if I
am afraid of losing him , then the claims
I make demand all the more courage.
Feel free to try to raise our conscious ness , then , but don ' t call us apathetic if
we don 't show up at the next meeting. You
ought to concede that there are other
roads than organization which lead to liberation; some of us may even wish to pave
our own.

Student pa rticipation in the process of
app rais ing prese nt a nd prospec tive fa culty
is, I think , oft en cas ua l and probably in adequate. I t r us t th e forth coming meeting
between s tudent s and th e appointments com mittee will dis cove r the be s t next steps
to take in improving and formali zing the
registe ring of student opinion . And I hope
the students and members of the Boa rd will
soon ag r e e upon the appropriate representa tion of students to the Board. But I a m not
at a ll pe rsuaded that the centra l iss ue for
prog re ss a t Bryn Mawr is one of power.
Thinking and Imagination
The centra l iss ue on education every where , it seem s to me, is the qua lity of
learning. And he r e I believe we a re afflicted by the pe culia r inefficienc ies affe cting a ll of Ame r ica n higher education - by the inroads of specia liza tion, the heavy
demands of certification , and a departmenta lization of knowledge tha t has gone beyond
its legitimate pu rposes . Poetry a nd phi losophy, or as Elizabeth Sewall put it in her
Shaw lecture, thi nking a nd imagination, are
a ll too often missing in American colleges
and universities , except in s ma ll doses .
The Curric ulum Committee has worked
out a number of spec ific proposa ls about
interdepartmental ma jors, new cou rses a nd
s tudies, g r ading , and oth er matters , which
r efle ct the student cur riculum concerns of
the la st fe w yea r s . And the g rowth of coope r a tion with Haverford is broadening the
options for s tudents and enriching our
undergradua te educational re sources. But
beyond these s teps we mus t s tart a continu ing and College- wide s ea r ch fo r th e educa tiona l ideas this country needs .
Constructive Criticism

such education a t Bryn Ma wr. " If you could
jus t have heard the depth of our conce rns
and the kind of cons t r uctive c r iticis m a nd
ideas that came out!" she said . Tha t i s the
kind of thinking a nd imagining we need to
hear . It is because Bryn Mawr s tarts with
such a n unus ua l qua lity of fac ulty a nd stu dents , that we s hould be abl e to build on our

wheth er a "s upe r cop" can solve this city 's

ha r dly be ignored on our " is ola ted,"

" I need your he lp ," he said, " to beat the

fro m those who expect nothing in return-nothing , tha t is , except a be tter P hilade lphia.' '
Student Volunteers
Student he lp in this campaign is c r ucial ,
for Green ha s to build on independent
organi zation to combat the Machi ne . Stude nts are needed to can vass, to telephone ,
to work in Green Hea dquarters (right next
to the Playboy Club on Broad Street) , a nd to
contribute in any way th ey can .

it is perhaps not surprising that mos t of

"Until the defense budget is pa r e d down to

opposed the D.C. Cri me Bill because of
the
no- knoc k a nd preventive detent ion
cla uses in the bill.
Green be lieves tha t P hila de lphia needs
an efficient, m odern , humane pol ice departme nt . Says Green , " Th ere is no question that there has been poli ce repre s sion
in the city of Philade lphia which cannot be

Moral leaders hip from a

De spite the diminis hing interest in the

a dminis tra tion will reverse its policy of
gradual withdrawa l. " T he administration
is committed to bringing the present military pa rti cipation to an ~ nd. I don't know
ho we ver, how long that will take ."
'
Hanna h s ta te d that the time period, though
indefi ni te, " will not be excessively prolonged .' ' He is optimi sti c that the increased
capabi lity of ARVN will insure that an
American continge ncy of troops will not
be forced to r e ma i n in Vietnam .
Laos Analyzed
Hanna h comm e nted on the invasion of
Laos:
"The c u r ren t operation in Laos mar
p rove to be o f g r eat importance not on!~
. to th e outcom e of the wa r and the definitio;
of that tim e period, but also to the kinds
of political s o lutions that may follow. " In
additi on , t he Laotia n operation will "shake
out the ambiguiti es'' in the Southeast Asia
situation .
Ha nna h a r g ued that the war in Indochina
has for too long been considered merelya
loose conglo meration of several different
wars, each ha ving some but no major con.
nection wi th a ll the others.
"Up to a year ago , " he said, "These
wars were a ll regarded as separate though
re la te d . Now , however, they are all being
regarded as part of the same war."'
Using this definition, Hannah sees the
c ur re nt o p e ~;ation in Laos not as an expans i on of the war in · Asia, but rather as
m eeting a n " aggressor" on onepartofthe
ba ttlefield that had not previously been
used .
"The North Vietnamese were there (in
Laos) all along , since 1962, in violatioo
of the Geneva Conv.ention . In a neutral
country , that's aggression. So I would say
tha t th e wa r has been there all along.
" The fac t that the South Vietnamesehave
e nte r e d Laos fo oppose the North seems to
: : .~ ..._
.. _,'1 ~ -- c:ult in an expansion ofthewar,
because it wa s already there. Theonlything
tha t has ha ppened is that it has been de·
cided to oppose them on the ground."
Indochina's Future
In th e future , Hannah predicted success
by U. S. allies against the communists,
a nd a ge nera l cooling off of the war.
He stated that the armies in the affected
countries s hould continue to assume a
greater a nd mo re effective role in com·
batting the s pecific ins urgencies or in·
filtration in t heir countries.
'' The fut ure appears optimistic if the war
in Indochina ends in some way so that
Cambodia a nd Laos will be neutral if they
wish to be , and not under pressure from
North Vietnam ," he said.
" There is a tre nd toward regional co·
ope ration. Ma laysia, Singapore, Thailand.
a nd Indonesia since Sukarno are moving toward cooperation, along with the Phil·
lipin e s, in the As sociation of Southeast
As ia n States.
" In a ddition there is interest in de·

Davidson s aid the group ha d intended
to set up a committee par·allel to the
Academi c Council before Spiegler· met with
them, since students ha d e ncountered almost uniformly negative responses fr om faculty and administration when they s uggested having stude nt representatives on the
Counci l. The committee m e mbers have
emphasi zed that they will be in a mu ch
better position than the Academi c- Coun cil
to elicit accurate student opinion regarding
tenure and reappoi ntment ca ndidates.
The committee intends to follow the
Academic Council' s lead in form as well
as function. Of the five members, three
were chosen to represent the College's
departmental division into the humanities ,
social sciences , and natural sciences . Davidson is an English major. Ulan a sociology major , and Sandhaus a biology
major .
When
a faculty member
is being
considered for tenure or reappointment,
a senior major from the faculty member's
department will be chosen to act as re commender and to gather information from
other students . T he comittee will compile
this information and pass it on to Cole man, along with a brief statement of con sensus. Accordi ng tO the faculty handboOk, Coleman must m a ke a recommenda tion to the Board of Managers, who m a ke

Threat to Life
"We live submerged in an economic
crisis, in a psychological s tate of confusion, insecurity and terror , and are
in constant danger of losing our lives,"
said Ramon Feliciano, mayor of Culebra
who was recently pressured into signing
a "peace" treaty with the Navy to the
accompaniment of Defense Department
trumpets.
In addition to the suffering of the Culebrans is the serious ecological da mage
caused by needless underwater demolition
on the coral reefs surrounding the isla nd.
Underwater Explosions
El Mundo, the major San Juan daily
newspaper, reported that the Navy accum ulated undetonated warheads and set off
four " large explosions " on the coral reefs .
Two scientists observed that one blast
caused total destruction of the reef for
a fifty foot diameter and lesser destruc tion for a radius of 200 feet.
"If the Navy, as they have threatened
to do, carry out another 90 detonations
which they have programmed for this area ,
similar to the four which took place in
December , there will not be a single
fish left about the Flamenco peninsula,''
says John Dinga, an oceanographer and
Culebran.
He added; "This area contains all the
species of coral found in the Caribbean ,
35 types. Likewise one can find in this
zone every species of marine life in one
or another stage of its development. ' '

Go Together Nicely
Two New Taylor-Made Albums
_Offer Little Beyond Famed Name
By Roy Goodma n
The new Alex Taylor a lbum " With
Friends and Neighbors , " owes its existence
to the fact that James Taylor fanatics
whose frie nds have threatene d to kill them
if they play " Fire And Rain" once more will
naturally turn to other me mbers of the
family (and of course a l ready own Livings ton's a lbum .) Or m aybe Capricorn Records figured that people would buy the
a lbum on the strength of Alex's genetic
credentia ls.
The friends and neighbors .of t he title
are a ll excellent mus i cians; with a few
exceptions (James Taylor, Greg Reeves,
King Curtis , and Willie - Bridges ea ch a ppear
on one cut) a ll are unknown . This, a long
with the fact that bassist a nd sometime
drummer J ohnny Sand lin is a lso the producer and the remix engineer, leads me
to s uspect tha t they a r e, in t r uth, a g roup
of s tudio m us icians who ha d never seen
Taylor until he wa lked in the doo r a nd
hande d them some uninspi r ed arrangements.
P r ofes sionalis m
Being studio men, the playe r s who back
Taylor for most of t he album naturally
have to be solid a nd versatile. T hey do
not have to be imaginative, and in this case
sound like they were paid not to be; it
sounds like a group of creati ve musicians
busily subordinating their playing to Taylor 's voice .
But they're good, make no
mistake about that.
In fact the a lbum 's only real d rawback
is Taylor. He s ings ever ything in the same
unexceptiona l , tota lly unexcited voice , occa sionally managing to inject b latantly
forced " excitement" into a song while
sounding like somebody s lipped him a n elephant tranquilize r. T his r ubs off on his
" f riends ," who play e verything with a perceptible lack of enthusiasm. One excep is lead guita rist Tommy Talton
tion
(I am automatically s uspicious of any lead
guitarist named Tommy) who sounds like
he could get it on if given the oppor tunity ,
but then shoots that hypothesis to hell by
refus i ng to solo in the long jam " South bound ."
Selecti ons
T he choice of songs ma kes me think
that somebody who r eally cared about the
a lbum trade d cuts with somebody who wa s
out to sabotage it (and ne edn' t ha ve both er ed). Jame s Taylor ' s " Highway Song "
and " Night Owl" a re good songs , though
you ' d never know it from Alex's ove r dra ma ti zed ve r sions. Like E lvin Bishop a nd
Ronnie Ha wkins, T aylor seem's to ha ve
a penchant for old corn , r efl e cted he re
in his reco r dings of " It's All Over N.ow"
and " Ta ke Out Som e Ins urance." All
he lac ks is their r ealization that crummy
old R&B has to be done with guts a nd ex citem ent and does not t·espond we ll to his
oh- s o - underplayed treatment .
The rest of the selections a re undistinguished numbe rs in the J a mes / Liv Taylor
f!lOld, most of the m written by Alex's
" friends." T his br ings up anothe r criticism of the star: he doesn' t write his own
songs. (One wonders, looking a t the back
cover photog raph, whether he writes o r
r ea ds Englis h.) He doesn't play a nything
eit11er, just happens to be the brother
of two very good, ve ry popular mus i cia ns.
Oh yes, the music is sort of soft rock
with s t rong countr y i nflu ences .

Impressions of the new Kate Taylor
a lbum , "Si s ter Kat e," a s expr e s s ed by
va rious r oommates, friends a nd othe r assorted sundry people:
" You'd neve r know that J a mes and Carole
King a r e on this one. It s ounds s o untogethe r ."
" Does s he r eally have a four note range, _
or is your turntable s low? "
"After Elton John a nd Rod Stewart, why
would she even atte mpt a ve r sion of ' Coun try Comfort'? Doesn ' t she wr ite a ny of
her own s tuff. "
"'You Can Close Your Eyes ,' (a new
J a mes Taylor song) I hope he puts that on
his next a lbum. It will be so beautiful when
he sings it.
" ' Lo a nd Behold ' with ' Jesus Is Just
All Right' as a m e dley ; s he ' s killing the
Byr ds and Jam es wit h one s hot. "
" She looks just like J ames without a
mus tache ."
P erhaps they were being a bi t harsh.
It is n 't easy being sis ter to J ames a nd Liv
and putting out a n album when new a lbums
from both of them are eager ly anti c ipated.
Compari sons will be made ; there's no way
a r ound it. If the a lbum we r e s o mething
spe cial, one could s imply dis m iss the
comments of those expecting another James
Taylo r a lbum . Unfortuna tely, the a lbum
is n't a ll that s pecial.
Selection of material for an a lbum can
either ma ke or break a r ecor d. Ka te' s
selection of material i s good, but un fortunate ly it' s not good for her . " Ballad
of a We ll - Known Gun" and " Count r y Com fort " a r e excellent E lton John songs - and
that' s the pr oblem. They are s o much
Elton John songs that only a supe rior
version can put that fact in doubt. Kate ' s
renditions are not s uperio r. On hi s la test
a lbum, J immy Witherspoon does a fa ntasti c
ve r sion of " Handbags and Glad r ags ." I
think that if Kate ha d heard it s he never
would have attempted it herself. He does
it jus t perfectly, so perfectly that one can' t
he lp but think of hi m s inging it whe n li.s tening to Kate .
Both James. and Liv have contributed fine
s ongs to the a lbum . Liv' s " Be That Way "
is a nice, flowing song . Upon fi rs t hearing
it I thought that it ha d been on hi s a lbum ,
but detective work proved I wa s wrong.
It' s a good song a nd I ho pe it s hows up
on his next LP . Ja m es ' "You Ca n Close
Your Eyes" is by far the bes t c ut on the
album . The song is bea utiful a nd compares
very favorably with anyth i ng on ' ' Sweet
Baby J a mes . " Two Carole King s ongs a re
a ls o on the a lbum . T he fi rst, " Home Again ,"
provides another bright s po t of the a lbum .
Written in the t radition of Ki ng 's brilliant
"Up On the Roof, " it provides Ka te with
an excellent oppor tunity to wor k wi th s ome
ma teria l previ ous ly unfa milia r to most
lis teners. On theother ha nd , King ' s s e cond
contribution, " Where You Lea d," s ounds
s traight out of Motown co untry . It would
make a great new s ingl e for the Four
.

Judging from Sunday night's perfor.
ma nce , the Bryn Mawr -Haverford Ren.
a issance choir appea r s to have made
conside rable progress from previous
years . T he conc e rt, which took place
in the reading room of the M. Carey
Thomas library, encompassed a larg~
num ber of works by prominent Renais.
s a nce a nd medieval composers such as
John Duns table, Guillaume Dufay, Josquin Despres, Clement Janequin, and
othe rs . T hi s choir is composed of Jonat han
War ren, John . Sweet, Stephen
Bonime , Anne Stokes, Ma rian Stern, and
Kathy Dyck .
Re nai ssance a nd medieval polyphonic
music is not at a ll easy to perform.
Each voi ce functions , fo r the most part,
independe ntly . One who sings this music
ofte n m ust deal with difficult rhythmic
patte rns whi ch are frequently contrasted
with equa lly difficult r hythmic patterns
i n oth er voices . He often sings a cappella,
a s in the case of the music in this
concert, a nd as s uch must stay on pitch
without the help of instrumental accompa niment . He also must handle the dynamics of his voi ce independently of
the other voices. Finally, while controlling a ll of thes e e lements , he must listen
to the other pa r ts so that he blends
we ll with them .
Aided by the excellent cathedral-like
acoustics of t he Thomas reading room,
the Rena issance Choir handled many of
these demands quite well. Their voices
were clear a nd natur al , without too much
vibr ato, allowing t he lines of the music
to co m e th rough clearly. They controlled
the rhyt hm s , s ta yed on pitch, andattimes,
pa r ticularly du ring their two encores,
we re qui te expressive . However, frequently , whe n the g roup _sang as a whole,
the ba la nce betwe en the men and the
women was not a s good as it could have
been . For t he most part, the men seemed
more s ure of the mselves, their decision
was c l ear er , their entrances were more
pr ecise , a nd thei r pe rformancewasgenera lly m o r e s pirited.

unlikely picture of a gi-ea se r disc ussing

Kramer's slicing pull -offs a nd scream ing feedback, though exciting examples
of both, are some wha t out of place in

It's loud, raunchy, often ug ly (b ut good

this may be unfai r criticis m). If you feel
like kicking out the jams, it's a great
album.
Masterpiece
Oddly enough, a live pe rform ance by
Mountain led me to resurrect Jac k Bruce 's
··Songs For A Tailor. " Their cover ver sion of " Theme For An Imaginary Western ' '
sent me back to the origina l , where I
found Bruce's rock ma s terpiece s urrou nde d
by material almost a s good .
The forme r Cream bassist's ly rics com e
from one Pete Brown , a n excelle nt if
slightly confusing writer and the leader
of his own group , Piblokto. At his worst,
Brown handles disconnected images m as terfully but mea ningless ly ; a t his best,
he creates powerful moods . ''The m e For
An Imaginary Western " i s exactly that,
almost unique in rock ("Ain ' t T ha t A
Kindness," on J ohnny Wi nter's "And ,"
is a cowboy story a nd contains the li ne
"you know a ma n a i n ' t nothi n' without
his gun," which I ha ve been trying to put
on this page since I took over) a nd beau tifully evocative . Close examina tio n of t he
lyrics reveals them to be a j umble of
images that fl outs logi c a nd gramma r ,
but the ends justify the m eans; i f Brown
can write like that witho ut bo thering a bout
English, more powe~: to him . "The Mi nistry Of Bag" is anot her exampl e that

Liberal Politician Green Gives Up Sure Seat For Mayoralty Race
By David Espo
The man is 32 years old, cosmetically
good looking , and could remain a ~ United
States Representative for the rest of his
life . His constituency will. elect him in
perpetuity, it seems, and he would perhaps
become chairman of the powerful Hou se
Ways and Means Committee, or maybe (this
is, after all. America).Speaker of the House,
or even Vice President.
Instead, he decides he can't wait, the
people, the problems won't wait, chucks
it all and comes home to r un for mayor .
If he ' s not landed aristocracy, he is as
close to high nobility in his district as
anyone. He won his seat by right of primogeniture, plucked fro m Villa nova Law Sc hool
on the death of his father, a lso a Congressman , and installed , the you ngest man in his
new profession. Go along, get along. He is
made chairman of the Democratic City
Committee at a ridiculously early age.
He resigns , saying he won 't allow hi s
good name to be used for evil purposes ,
cries out (decent heresy) for opening the
party to the people.
Liberal Split
William J . Green, Jr. , is running for
mayor of Philadelphia, involved in a four
man race with former Police Commissioner
Frank Ri zzo, former City Councilman David
Cohen and State Senator Hardy Williams .
Of the four, Rizzo is not the liberals '
candidate. The other three, though , are.
It is a classic situation, says one of Green's
campaign workers, of the liberals flocking
lemming-like to their doom.
Green hopes he is not the first into the
sea. He is a superb politician, with the
proper recall of names, the sharp memory
for faces, and the ability to make a man
feel at ease and intimidated at the same
time . He thinks well on his feet, hiding the
nervousness he feels . And, like all politicians , he hedges his bets.
Small Risk
His run to become mayor is a risk, that
is certain. Should he lose, the wrath of
Rizzo could extend all the way to Harrisburg, where a gerrymandering frolic is to
take place fa irly soon. Yet, should he lose ,
he could still go back to Washington and
be elected in perpetuity, either in his old
dist rict, or, he intimates, in a new one . He
gives up little in losing but his time, energy,
and unblemished reco rd.

William Green: 'I've got a dog fight' in the
four-man race with Frank Rizzo.
Green says he is running for mayor of
Philadelphia be ca use the time has come to
pay attention to the cities of America .
" Things won't get better until politics get
better, and politics won ' t get better until
they 're changed at the lower level. People
must get involved in politics ," he says.
First Priority
He sees his first priority as getting
people united. His work in Congress, he
says, is both rewarding and frustrating .
"What's on my front burner is hardly ever
on others, I'd be in a position as an
executive rather than as a legislator to get
things done. "
His work in Congress, if you happen to
espouse liberal causes, is excellent. Green
has twice voted against the entire defense
appropriations , has supported both resolutions this s ummer to terminate the Indochina war , is a nti-ABM , anti-SST. He is
pro ~ra t control and pro-minimum famil y
income . His voting record reads like a list
of what's what in liberal politics .
That 's in Congress. His record outside .
the Congress is slightly less clear. He
supported Robert F . Kennedy for president
in 1968, but ultimately cast his vote for
Hubert Humphrey.
"I felt he had the only chance to stop
Nixon," Green says. "I campaigned all
through 1968, against Humphrey , but I had
to come back as party chairman and lead
the party in the election."
Is' that the sort of unity he means? Not,
apparently, a ny longer. He resigned as
chai rman of the city committee a year after
the election, blasting Mayor James Tate .
Now , he says of the group he once headed,
" I fo ught fights there time and time again
in 1968 and 1969. I quit as chairman because I could not fight there any longer.
I couldn ' t a llow them to use my good
name for their purposes ."
Now the committee has endorsed archrival Rizzo . "They want me out of the
race. If I' m e l ected it's the end of them
a nd their government a nd their kind of
politics, and they know it." Their kind
of unity, he say , is a "false unity."
Goals
Green lists the priorities of the city he
wants to govern. The e ducation system,
he says, is a disgrace. The average student
in the city is two years behind the national
norm in reading ability . He calls for a
new drug program, a clinic to treat addicts . He calls for more efficient city
transportation , for making the city comprehensible to the people , for making the
police more effective apd closer to the
community they serve.
What we need , he announces, "is an end
to poverty, a decent home and adequate
health insuran<;e for every American."
But can he win? His private polls show
him far ahead of Williams and Cohen. His
only comment on hi s showing in a four - man
race with Rizzo, however , is "I've got a
dog-fight. " He is probably behind , but by
how much is unclear .
Will the liberals pull together as the
election draws nearer? Experience says
not . Green claims to have offered to have
a public opinion poll taken to rate him
against the two other liberals . If he 's not
ahead , he says, he will drop out of the
race. That i s noble , but also the word of a
man with a sizeable lead .

Haverford Goal
Although this system in its present form
prevents cooperation with Haverford , according to Berwind. one goal of the Haverford changes in its freshman program ,
as stated by the EPC, is to bring it closer
to the Bryn Mawr model. in hopes of
some sort of future agreement on a joint
program.
The two Colleges' history departments
have agreed to offer a joint introductory
ccurse next year, with three sections at
each Coll ege, and with l ectures possibly
a lternating between the Colleges, according to Prof. John Spie lman , chairman
of t he Haverford history department. Stude nts woul d be eligible to ta ke the course
at either sc hool, and could switc h at midse m ester. T he detai ls of the syllabus will

Netmen Must Fill
Four Vacancies,
Contend with Cold
By Ke nny Norris
The February snow and cold took a t wo
week vacation, but have howled back just
in time to present March with an abrupt
chill and to present t he tennis team with
a rough predicament.
First-yea r Haverford tennis coach , Ron
Barnes , a one-time conquerer of Rodney
Laver, is not happy with the weather,
which together with spring vacation, leaves
the team with a less tha n adequate number
of practices before their first match against
Muhlenberg on March 31.
The unexpected Febr uary balm brought
some members of the team out as early
as Febr uary 10, but March's gusty winds
and freezing temperatures have taken valu able practice days from the F ord netmen.
Goodbye to Three
The tennis team , which sadly said goodbye to last year's seniors , Fran Conroy,
Taylor Pancoast, a nd Peter Tobey, a ll standouts in thei r years at Haverford, unex pectedly lost senior captain Ronnie Norris ,
when he was forced to t rade in his tennis
whites for khakis upon receiving a call from
the Army Reserves.
The departure of Norris , who perform ed splendidly in his varsity career which
began as a fr es hman a nd ended in October
with a second straight r unne r- up prize in
doubles competition with his brother Kenny
in the ECAC tournament, leaves the netmen with an inexperienced squad. Their
9-1 record of las-t year will be difficult
to match with only Chris Cline, Kenny
Norris, Jim Weisman , a nd Jon Ralph
retu r ning from last year's vars ity . At least
eight other players will be fiercely com peting to make the s quad a lso.
It is difficult right now to pre dict anything this season, but the first few matches
wi ll probably be a fair indicator of the
strength of this year's team.
Bar nes .~amed Coach;
Was ~razil Champion
Ron Barnes, former national champion
of Brazil has becom e the new varsity
tennis coach at Haverford.
Barnes, hailing from Rio de Janeiro ,
was s ix times na tiona l tennis cha mpion of
Brazil and played Davis Cup tennis nine
years in singles and doubles , winning six
of his s ingles matches.
In 1963, Barnes won the Pan American
Games champions hip . He defeated Roy
Eme rson, Manuel Santana, Mike Belkin,
and Nikki Pilic in winning the Que bec title
and beat Cliff Drysdale in the Toronto final.
T wice Ba rnes reached the semifina l r ound
of the Unite d States a mateur cha mpionship at Forest Hills , a nd was beaten one
year in the quarter-finals by Denmark ' s
Jan Leschly, who became a finalis t. Barnes
turned pr ofessional is 1967. He is still
the tennis a nd s quas h r acquet s professiona l
at the Germantown Cricket Club .
BMC Finishes with Tie;
Had Four in 7 Matches
T he Bryn Mawr varsity ba dminton team
finished its season last T uesday night by
tying the top - ranked team in the league,
Ursinus . While the only varsity player
to win was third s ingles Kathy Greene,
the JV produced four victories to gi ve
Bryn Mawr enough wins to tie.
The season was on the whole a s uc cessful one, the team e merging with a
winning record overall. The 2- 1- 4 record
was ~- cons ide rab le improvem ent over last
yea r . The numbe r of individua l victories
was doubled: 44 as opposed to the 29
of last year. Prospects for next year
are bright, as only three of the team
members are seniors, Linda Evers, Beryl
Fe rnandes , a nd Margaret Morrow. Another
player who will be missed is Nina Ba nziger, who will be returning to Switz erla nd next year. Neverthe less, there is
great potentia l in the group remaining,
and "recruitment" of new players has
al ready begun .
The team has been pleased with their
performance this year , a nd tha nks their
coach , Jan Fisher, for her patie nce, he lp,
and encouragement.

Haverford's top wrestler in the event.
Cheek Takes Fourth
In Wrestling Finals
Charlie Cheek was the only Ford
to place in the MAC wrestling championships Friday and Saturday at Swarthmore , placing fourth in the 126 -pound
category.
After getting a bye in the first round
on the basis of his seven straight pins
at the close of the dual meet season ,
Cheek defeated his second round opponent when he defaulted to Cheek after
suffering an injury during the bout.
Charlie had been leadi ng the m atch
5- 1 a t the time.
Saturday morning, Scott Evans of Elizabethtown decisioned Cheek, 8 -5, with
three minutes of riding time contributing two points to the margi n of
victory . Cheek s pent the dying minutes
s hooting fo r takedowns while Evans
s traddled the outs ide of the ring, avoid ing a ny chance of a ta ke down. Cheek
expressed dis~ ppointmen t tha t his opponent did not at least receive a warn ing for stalling .
In the consolation bracket, Cheek won
his afternoon bout before losing the
third - place match with Susquehanna 's
Bill Bechtel. With Bechtel , as well as
with Evans, Cheek had his opponent
on his back a nd dange rously near pins.
In neither case, however, were the pins
called.
Cheek, with a 11 - 5 ove rall record
stands as the Fords ' top wrestler this
year.
By Stan Lacks
This year's baseba ll team has the potential of being one_ of the best in Haverford 's history, and some, such as P_itcher
Jim Ir by , go as far as to pred1c t an
MAC c hampionship.
Coa ch Tony Zanin , while some what s ubdued i s "very pleased with the attitude
of the team thus fa r" and feel s " cau tiously optimistic" about winning a title .
Zanin does see a definite improvement over
last year' s six victories and seven defeats
and has the a dvantage of coaching almost
the identical players a s last season . The
Fords will miss t he big bat of graduated
slugger Don Thompson but a lthough still
young, the squad will benefit from the year
9f experience .
Hitting should again be the Red Wave
strength and Zanin 's strategy will be to
put the be st batters on the fi e ld without
sacrificing defe nse. T he m a jor question mark at this point is the pitc hing, with
junior John Poorman t he o nly consistant
hurle r . If Irby and Doug We nda ll can come
through , the Fords may be unbeatable. Ken
Fars htey, used effectively last year for late
inning work , will again be availa ble for spot
relief cho res on the mound. Otherwise
he will be at third where his s ure glove
and powerful ar m are most a ppreciated.
Add his strong bat and he thus becomes a
majo r key to the winning combination.
" Doug Berg is probably the bes t shortstop in the Philadelphia area," says the
Joseph baseba ll coach , Marty Pollack, a nd if
the senior co-captain anywhere approaches
his tea m leading .415 battingaverageof last

Depth a Problem for Track Team;
Marathon Runners Pace Truckers
By Chuck Durante
If Dixi e Dunbar doesn 't coach the best
track team in the Middl e Atlantic Con fe r ence, he can certainly boast the best
marathon tea m. Last weekend, Seth Alper,
Blair Hines, a nd Mike Yacko joined Ken
Brown and Gle nn Hines as qua lifiers for
the Bos ton Marathon April 19 when they
broke ·two hours i n a 17- mile road-runners' race. Thus the Fords, despite the
loss of their top miler, AI Woodward ,
s hould outpoint nearly every one of their
nine dua l mee t opponents this year in the
dis ta nce events .
However strong the Fords might be in t he
880 , mile, a nd two- mile , an a la rming lac k
of depth in the s pring and fie ld events could
prove disastrous for the Fords, who lost
only Woodwa rd a nd captain Dick J a rvis to
graduation.
The sprint corps s uffered its g r eatest
loss last April 25, whe n Don Fried pulled
a muscle in the a nchor leg of the mile
relay agains t Lebanon Valley a nd Johns
Hopkins. Fried's career in sprinting has
ende d, but he i s expected to become
the Fords' top ha lf- miler this spring. While
s till out of s hape a week bac k, he r un a
2: 03 in the event, better than any Ford di d
in 1970.
T wo Ne w Me n
To replace the void left by Fried , the
Fords have two ne w men, Roddy Bell ,
a~d Lenn~ Gillespie , to join Rob Yager,
Ttm Bowlmg, and co- captain Mark Sha w in
the sprints .
Bell , one of oaly two freshmen out for
the team, has r un a 21.9 220 a nd a 9.5
Qua rter mile. Sha w won the 220 once and the
440 inte rmediate hu r d les several tim es last
year, holding the Have rford reco r d in the
latter e vent. Yager, with Bowling and Shaw,
were the Fords' only 100 -yard m en last
year; though none finis he d first in a dual
meet last year, they , with Bell' s 9 .9 time
on the ir s ide , hope for be tter success
this yea r.
Gillespie is expected to r un the 440 .
He has r un the distance in 51 seconds,
over two years ago. Dunbar and Sha w are
sending out fee lers to kno wn sprinters who
are not out for the team.
Bowling leads a jumping a nd hurdling
crew that is missing only star th ree-even t
ma n .Jarvis from last year's contingent.
Bow lmg, a 20- foot bruad- jumper will a lso
triple jump, high jump, a nd perha~s run the
120 high hu r dles . Another du rable sopho more , Jim We tmore, i s counted o n to·
he lp Sha w in the 440 hu rdles. He and·
Shaw took the top two plc:.ce<; in seve ral'
m eets last year. We tmore wtll a l so con tribute in the mile relay a nd the broad
j uinp, a nd maybe pole vault 13 feet this
spring.
Andy Marino , Dave Proctor, Tom Scot t ,
~nd Larry Hammermesh complete the jumpmg team . Marino triple - jumped 41 feet
~ast season , a nd will complete with Bowl mg for the honors as the top Ford in that
departm ent. Proctor inherits the position
as ~h~ team's best high jumper; he a nd

H
there will be changes from last year , all
for the better. True to .the p rogressive
spirit of Haverford athletics t he lacrosse
team hits the big ti me this year, becoming a
fully organized inter-collegiate sport.
This year the lacrosse Fords are coached /
by Director of Atheletic s Dana Swan , who
coached lacrosse at Washington and Lee
University fo~ six years.
The Fords'
schedule is, in Swan's words, "a m ixed
bag.
"We play games with freshman, junior
varsity, and varsity teams from various
schools , including several from the tough
Middle Atlantic Conference
like Muhlenberg, West Maryland, PMC, Kutztown,
Swarthmore , and Drexel .''
Certainly this schedule is a step toward
more increased formali zation than last
year's. In 1970 the
semi-organized
lacrosse team played mostly scrimmages
with Villanova 's J V, the Haverford School ,
· and th ree times with the Main Line Lacrosse Club . The move upwards has been
caused by "a
consistent interest in
lacrosse among the student body." There
was once a lacrosse team at Haverford
in the late 1930 's and 1940's before and
after World War II .
Revived Interest Three years ago a strong interest developed again. This concern became even
greater two years ago but there was no
organization and no firm commitments to _
play on the part of interested students.
In 1969 Herb Massie, Mitch Lewis , andBob
Stoll began in the fall to organize a team
and they had by Christmas 24 firm com ~
mitments to play . In the spring 39 players showed up, and 35 remained active
t he entire season .
This year there are
about 35 students out for lacrosse , including
six freshmen.
This enthusiasm for lacrosse does not
seem to be at the expense of other inter collegiate spring sports. Students out for
lacrosse are athletes who would not ordi narily go out for a spring sport. There
has not, for instance, been a ny noticeable
changeover from other sports like baseball
or track. This clearly indicates the advantageousness of its inclusion in the athletic program .
Exciting Game
Swan believes lacrosse is a very exciting game for spectators as well as play ers .
This would also definitely improve
the
athletic program, as spring sports
"are not that exciting on the whole," for
the casual fan who wanders over to Walton Field for football on Saturdays in the
fall and down to the field house for basketball in the winter .
" Anyone can play lacrosse , " says Swan.
" Only rudimentary skill i s necessary , and a
man can play the game ha ving learned only
one specialized position. Thus, it i s a team
game with great latitude for the indivi dual. Morever, one can also play lacrosse
after graduation.''
Like soccer, there are many local amateur lacrosse c lub s due to the rising
overall i nterest in this fairl y new sport.
Ford Golfers Pr~cede US Open
At Merion ; Lamb To Captain
By Carl Tannenbaum
On June 17 , the United States Open
Golf Championship will be held at the
East Course of the Merion Golf Club.
During the preeeeding week some of the
biggest names in professional golf will
travel half a mile dow n Ardmore A venue
to Merion's West Course where they will
tune up for the championship. Arnie, Jack
and Billy will not, howe ver, be the first
to break par at the West Cour se this
year.
Led by Junior captain and res ident drunk,
Bruce Lamb , the Red Wave golf team will
open its assault on pa r on Fri day, April
2. Other retu rning varsity m e mbers are
Junior Scott Sipple and Senior Carl Tannenbaum. There ha s been some conjucture
as to whether Sipple ' s wedding ring ac quired since last s eason, will in any way
interfere with hi s game . Tannebaum, now
in his four th yea r under the watchful,
eye and sharp tongue of coach Bill " The
~!an " Doche rty , will be getting his first
chance to start consistently on the varsity six . "The T" will be hoping to erase
all memories of a disasterous outing in
last year's M.A.C. tournament . But his
roommates will make sure that he doesn ' t.
Only One Other
There is only one other uppercl as sman
seeking a spot on the supreme sixsom e.
Frank " Bogey Man" O' Hara returns thi s
year after missing last season due to
being in the Kearney projec t. O'Hara will
have to prove himself against what is
easily the best group of freshmen golfers
since last year' s senior s were Rhinies.
Leading this eager legion of linksmen
are local products Andy Smith and Chris
Fleming. Smith will s ta rt somewhere high
up in the Ford lineup and Fl e ming s hould
also contribute valuable points to the Hav erfo rd caus e. Other Freshmen on th e squad
are John Ha rer, Larry Meehan , Gary Chap Jllan, Dean Arthur and David Schutz m a n.
1'he Fords have only two home dates
all season , with six on the road . Monday,
April 5 they take on Wilkes and the Un ive rsity of Delaware here, and F riday,
May 7 they host Swarthmore in a Hood
Trophy match. Last year' s Hood Trophy
match wa s cancelled due to th e Cambodia
crisis .
Decimated
Although the team wa s decimated by
the graduation of the class of 1970 (four
starters , plus a fifth man who would ha ve
been among the top two had he not sta yed
the entire year at Sarah Lawrence) and i s
missing one of its returning starters ,
Junior Marc Brown who is studying (?)
in Copenhagen this semester, Coach Doch erty is looking forward to a successful
season, confident that the freshmen will
be able to pick up the slack . The Man,
although he doesn't like to admit it, is
also pleased with the fact that the seven
Freshmen represent a new audience for
the now famous "Jimmy Mills on the
public links " story which he takes particular pleasure i n relating. Al s o, the
fact that Nicklaus will be playing in the
Open in June will probably result in the
"How Jack Nicklaus played the second
hole on t he East Course during the World
Amateur Championships" story reaching
many un s uspecting ears this spring.
When you take everything into ac count
the primary responsibility of Coach Docherty and the upperclassmen is not necessarily to win matches , but rather to instill
in the Freshmen the feelin g so prevalent
among last year ' s Seniors . That is , that
nothing --c lasses , labs, assignments, jobs,
weather conditions, health conditions, or
any other extraneous matters - -s hould ever
interfere with the acceptance of the challenge , " You wanna hit 'the links this afternoon?" After all , one must not lose
sight of one's priorities.
Massacres Ill & IV
Not content with the best winter sports
percentage of any Haverford team , the
Lame Ducks are putting their perfect
record on the line against Swarthmore ' s
Motherpuckers this week. The B Team
game will be held Sunday, March 14 ,
at 7 p .m . The A Team match will be
Tuesday night at 11 p .m .
Both games will take place at Penn
Rink , 31st & Walnut sts ., Philadelphia.
Season Begins
The spring sports season opens Wednesday with Tony Zanin's baseball Fords
taking on ambitious Eastern Baptist
in a non - conference home game, beginning at 3:30 .
The Fords are then idle until April
3. After playing Haverford , Eastern
Baptist goes on an extended tour of
the south.
Other Fords squad begin after vacation . The tennis team hosts Muhlen berg March 31 at 2:30 , and the golf
team opens April 2 at Franklin & Mar shall against F&M and Muhlenberg .

Frozier The Onllf Victor
By Chuck Durante
By now, nearly everyone at Have rford and
Bryn Mawr knows who won the fight Monday ,
except possi bly for a few people in Merion .
Joe
Frazier proved one t hing that
night - -that he is the greatest heavyweight
fighter at this time and on this planet ,
nothing\ else.
His 15- round decision over the boister ous and beautiful Muhammed Ali did not
prove him the be·s t ever , though he must
certainly be considered one of the toughest
heavies of all time. It did not even prove
that he is the greatest since Sonny Liston ,
for Gene Tunney and others have claimed
with some persuasiveness that the Ali
of 1966 - 67 would have been a different
kind of opponent.
Another thing that remained unproven
Monday is that the establishment won ,
that the military-industrial complex was
vindicated, and that another Middle American here robbed the rightful peace-freak
of his due , Ali being placed in the great
tradition of Eugene McCarthy, the Chicago
Seven, and (soon) David Cohen .
In fact, the fight proved nothing other
than that Joe Frazier, 26, of Philadelphia,
is presently a better boxer than Muham med Ali , 29, of Cherry Hill , N. J. In
actual fact , the establishment won before
a single punch was thrown. The money
that this bout made for people who wouldn't
know George Jackson from Reggi e Jackson,
if laid end to end, would complete the greening of America, and probably a good part
of Canada as well.
Only Second Best
The military - industrial complex may take
consolation at the fact that the man whore jected them is only the second best s lugger
in the known world, and they aren't missing
out on as good a killer as they may have
fea.red . Otherwise, Westmoreland and company have little to cheer about; public
opinion about the ex-champ's doings ha s
quite sharply changed since he first told a
waiting nation ; " I ain't got nothin ' against
them Viet Congs " early in 1966. Muhammed 's witness to this opposition became
the climax of his reign as champion (the
athletic side of which was almost boringly
methodica'l) on April 28, 1967 when he
stood at attention in his Louisville induction office as the commandi ng officer
told all that month's draftees to step for ward . Thi s act played a great part in
changing America's picture of him ·and
the cause he represented. This act of
civil disobedience took Ali out of the world
of fun and games, lost him the championship and a chance for more millions, and
forced people to look pa st the poet - braggart
image.
The change in public opinion since has
not been heartening for the VFW. Ali's
support now transcends the young, the
poo r, and the black . The Illinois State
Athletic Commission, which revoked Ali ' s
license in 1966 for hi s profe ssion of indifference to the VC, would probably give
Adlai Stevenson and two relief pitchers
to have the rematc h in Chicago .
Not To Be Confused
Frazier, while assuming the majority
of the Nixon-Agnew constituency, is not
to be confused with a political hero of
Middle America. While his boxing talents
have won him a large following, and other
like him because he hails from Philadelphi a ;
the anti-Ali sentiment for F r azier was
exactly that , against Ali. Should some Pete
Maravic h - type white pretty-boy arise , all
thos e anti -Ali people will hate Frazier. T his
reversal of roles was seen not too long
ago when Sonny Liston , the bad man of the
hea vyweight division, got the boxing establishment 's , Ring Magazine's and most newspaper co rrespondents' tacit wishes of good
lu c k again s t young Cassius Clay on February 25, 1964 , and again in their May, 1965
rematch . Ye t , in his two fights with Floyd
Fencers Sixth
Haverford finished sixth of seven
teams Saturday in the MAC fencing championships. This is a rise of one pla ce
from last year's finish , and t he Fords
fini~hed only two victories behind the
fifth place team . Haverford had 24 vic torie s in their 72 bouts.
Last year , Haverford won only 15
in fini s hing last. The Fords los t a great
deal of matches by a 5-4 score .
Steve Barton, the captain , will be
the only member of the team to gra d uate this May.
P a tte rson two years earlier , only one
boxing writer in th e e ntire country, Jac k
McKinney of Philadelphia , made it known
that he was for the ex - con.
Thus, while Ali does indeed r epresent
courage , principled action , and a total
dedication to black liberation in America ,
Frazl.er's victory does not stand as a
stunning victory for orthodoxy ; he is mere ly an apolitical and excellent boxer who
happened to have won the world title over
the only draft resister who was heavyweight champ.
May Have Whupped
Ali may have whupped Frazier if his
career were not interrupted for arrest,
retirement, and a tour of the talk shows .
He may have knocked off Frazier, Buster
Mathis, and Oscar Bonavena by the middle
of 1968 and retired for the lack of suitable
opponents and his own further interest in
boxing. The odds are that Frazier would
still be champion today if Ali were not
stripped of the title in 1967 . That Frazier
beat Ali is a purely athletic result and the
defeat of a champ past his prime cannot
be taken as a politically significant event.
Frazier, like all of his predecessors,
though, must submit to a rematch before
the title can be complete .
If you think that Frazier is the middleclass hero , wait until he fights George
Foreman. After winning the heavyweight
title in the 1968 Olympics (following Ali
and Fraz ier as Olympic titlists) , Foreman,
a black, paraded about the ring waving
an American flag.

Tony Taylor, one of ten Phillies holdouts
this spring, worked out at Haverford for
three weeks, giving free coaching to
Haverford athletes.
Taylor Leaves H'ford;
Trained, Taught Here
For Three Weeks
Have rford' s latest artist in residence ,
Tony Taylor , left last Friday after signing
his 1971 contract with the Philadelphia
Phillies . Taylor, the Phillies' top hitter in
1970 with a .301 average , was holding out
$70 ,000 salary , and during the holdout,
worked out dail y for the three weeks previous to his signing in the Haverford field house.
Taylor , who has been starting second or
third baseman for all of the 11 years he
has spent with the Phillies , had hi s best
season in 1970. He is believed to have
signed for $60 ,000 , about $15 ,000 more
than he received last year .
Taylor was described by all who met
him here as an extremely likeabl e pe rson. Along with taking a good number of
cuts in the batting cage, he ran , did general
conditioning work , and gave coaching advice to the Haverford players he met. Bob
Chapman said Taylor generously gave pointers in hitting , fielding , and base r unning.
Dick Morsch said he had no id ea how
Tay lor came to Have rford to wo rk out ,
but suggested that .he may have com e here
on the advice of Robin Roberts . Roberts
who started opening game for the Houston
Astros in 1966 , wa s here a year, working
out while trying to make a comebac k. The
280-game winner retired afte,- failing to
arrange a deal with a major leagu e club
through half the season .
Taylor , a native of Cuba , has not returned to his homeland s in ce 1961. He makes
his r esidence in the Philadelphia area.

A panel discussion on "Bryn Mawr and
Investment Responsibility " will be held
Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Quita Woodward Room of the Bryn Mawr library.
The discussion is sponsored by Alliance
and by the Ad Hoc Committee on Corporate Responsibility, a group of student
participants in last Saturday's Haverford Bryn Mawr seminar on corporate responsibility .
In a related move , Haverford President
John Coleman announced this week that he
would recommend to the Haverford Board
of Managers , which is meeting at Haverford today and tomorrow,, that a studentfaculty -adm inistration-staff committee be
established to advise the Board's finance
committee on the social aspects of investment.
GM Proposals
One of the main topics discussed both at
the Bryn Mawr meeting and by the Haverford committee will be three proposals made
to General Motors by Campaign GM Round
II. The consumer group is proposing share holder nomination and e lection of General
Motors directors , more widely-based membership on the board of dit·ectors, and
the 11ider di s tribution of infor·mation on

in favor of the Campaign GM proposals .
Copies of the proposals are available
from Jan Fink, Carol Baizer, Stephanie
Tramdack , or Pat Mooney.

Daniel Balderston ex- '73 and 12 other
demonstrators are now serving a threemonth sentence in a Puerto Rico federal
prison for violating a court injunction on
demonstrations at the Nancy Target area
on the island of Culebra. Also among
those averted and imprisoned is Reuben
Berrios. president of the Puerto Rican
Independence Party.
Balderston , who was also arrested in
January 1970 at the Bryn Mawr draft board

actions (NEWS , Feb. 5, 1971) , withdrew
from Haverford at the end of last year

A chapel located at the same spot earlier
had been demolished by Navy s he lling a nd

tore down the chapel Feb. 8.
We Are Guilty
The struggle of the Culebrans has become a foca l point of the P uerto Rican
independence move ment. Berrios stated
~pon his sentencing to three months: " If
to defend the right of our coun try m en
on Culebra to live in peace without being
subject to Naval bombardment is to be
guilty , then we are guilty.
"If to defend the right of Puerto Rico
to its territorial integrity and to insist
upon· the return to our people of all_ the
territory that the United States usurps for
military bases is to be guilty, then we
are guilty.
"If to defend the right that we , the Puerto
Rican people , have . to rule ourselves is
to be guilty, th e n we are guilty.
"As men, as sons of Puerto Rico,. and
as participants in a millenia! civilization
before those who subjugate our peopl~
we are and we will be guilty of defending
our people. Before our people we are and
we will be innocent.' '
Balderston stated at his sentencing Feb.
18 . . "The
orders of .this court,. and
the fences which seek to enforce those
orders, cannot hide from us the fact that
Culeb1·a is used for the testing of weapons
that destroy human flesh in Vietnam and
Laos and Cambodia.
"My people , the Quakers, have always
insisted that God is to be obeyed and not
men, and that we are neithe1· to be satisfied with the state of things, nor with a
promise of salvation in the hereafter.... for
example, my great-great-grandfather Lloyd
Balderston refused to pay war taxes during
the Civil Wa1· and the government expropriated several of his hogs.

to learn about the struggle for independence
here , to join in the struggle when it becomes appropriate as it did on Culebra
and then to go home, to help the peopl~

action is an outgrowth of a letter pub lished in The NEWS, Feb. 5, in which
Ulan and Davidson asked anyone interested
in working on the tenu·re process to con tact them.
Bi-weekly Meetings
Ulan said the letter resulted in respon ses from about ten students and two or
three faculty members. Most of the students have been meeting with Ulan and Davidson since then on a bi-weekly basis .
They have also contacted members of both
the faculty and administration.
Provost Gerhard Spiegler met with the
group once. Accordi ng to Davidson, Spiegler encouraged t hem to set up a committee
to parallel the Academic Council, which
makes recommendations to President John
Coleman on tenure cases. Spiegler, as
provost of the College, is ex officio a member of the Acade mic Council. Prof. Arye h Kos m a n , c urre ntl y a member of the

Form New Residence · Committet
A residence committee consisting of the
presidents of all Bryn Mawr dorms has been
formed to discuss whether the dorm exchange will be extended next year, and
which dorms will be u.sed .
The dorm exchange committee, presently
working on these problems , will have to
wait for the residence committee, which has
not yet met, to make its recommendations
before going ahead with plans for the exchange.
Sarah Wright. Bryn Mawr director of
halls , said she would have to wait for the
decision on which dorms would be used in
the exchange before going ahead with the
room draw for next year.
