'U' Administrators To Lead Seminars Next Semester

STRESSES CREATIVE FIELDS:
Author Notes Influence
Of Women in Society

Seniors Appointed

>--

The seminars will be held be-
ginning the first week of next
semester, allowing for the reading
to be done between semesters. In-
terested students should sign up
now for the seminars in the Un-
dergraduate Library.
Although previous programs of
this type have been open to stu-
dents who did not register before-
hand, SGC reports that these dis-
cussion groups may become so
large that only those signed up
will be allowed to participate.
In order to make J.B. readily
available to participants, the
Reading and Discussion Commit-
tee reported earlier that they were
going to buy several copies for the
use of the group.
This program is being held be-
cause of the success of a.similar
program held last summer :end
fall, the Summer Reading and
Discussion Program. This program
contained such discussions as "The
Individual Within a Mass Society,"
led by Prof. Frank Grace, and
"A Discussion of Dr. Zhivago," led
by Prof. Marvin Felheim and Prof.
Robert Magidoff.
The seminars will probably be
held in rooms in the Undergradu-
ate Library, but this may be pre-
vented by the size of the groups.

By HARRY PERLSTADT
"The mind is set against the
idea of a woman in a position of
real authority," Charles W. Fer-
guson, senior editor of "The
Reader's Digest" and noted auth-
or, said yesterday in a lecture on
the role of women in the develop-
ment of American culture.
"Little attention has been given
to the influence of women in gen-
eral," he added and stated that
whenever a woman reaches an in-
fluential position she is reminded
that she is in the minority.
Accept as Personsa
Ferguson said that today's edu-
cated women must be acceptedas
persons by the men but that the
women should not attempt to imi-
tate men. Ferguson suggested that

women, with their directness and
persistence, should enter the cre-
ative fields. He p a r t i c u l a r l y
stressed a creative phase of jour-
nalism and thought that women
should work on the editorial side
of newspapers and magazines.
The presence of women on the
American frontier had a decided
influence on the softening of the
wild west. Men, Ferguson said, ac-
knowledged the positionof women
by making the frontier a safer
place for their families.
Shows Influence
Ferguson then showed the in-
fluence of one woman, Sarah J o-
sephaHale, uponmle nineteenth
century America in which she
lived. She was educated by her
brother and husband and wrote
continually, including "North-
wood," a novel on slavery "which
scooped 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' by
at least twenty years," Ferguson
remarked.
Mrs. Hale became the editor of
a woman's magazine in Boston
and set an example which is still
followed today. She campaigned
for the completion of the Bunker
Hill Monument, suggesting that
the women should be allowed to
raise the remainder of the neces-
sary funds.
Among Mrs. Hale's other ac-
complishments were the establish-
ment of Thanksgiving as a na-
tional holiday, the founding of an
industrial school for- girls and. the
idea of a national woman's maga-
zine.

Tennessee Williams' "Moony's
Kid Don't Cry" and Paul Greene's
"No Count Boy" will be enacted
at 4:10 p.m. today at the Frieze
Building in the speech depart-
ment's final laboratory bill of the
semester.
"No Count Boy" is what one
might call a play on the lighter
side of life. In fact, it is almost
a cartoon," Ronald SQssi, '61, the
director, explained.
Since it is a cartoon, we can
laugh at it even though the situa-
tions that arise are quite realistic
and even. sad. For this reason'
the play is being directed with a '
touch of fantasy so that people
can laugh at it."
Character Study
The comedy which takes placej
in the deep South is a character
study of a. young girl who dreams
of traveling and a young boy who
nearly convinces her that she

should Leave her fiance and wan-
der with him all over the earth.
"The play is full of poetry and
romantic atmosphere," Sossi said.
This mood is suggested by Paul
Greene's real but poetic dialogue.
"There are only two characters
in . "Moony's Kid Don't cry,"
Spring Condoyan, '60, director of
the Williams play commented.
"They are suffocating in the
dull monotony of their poverty-
stricken life."
They live in a squalid fiat in the
industrial section of a large city,
Miss Condoyan related. , And
Moony, a former lumberman, had
to leave the outdoor life.'
Denied Freedom
Moony is rugged and powerful,
she continued, yet he has great
sensitivity and some of the rudi-
ments of Thoreau.
"In his present denial of na-
ture's freedom and space, he is
like an animal out of his natural
habitat.",

To Renew
Senior Week
The Senior Board plans to rees-
tablish a year-end Senior Week if
enough seniors are interested,
Board vice-president Lawrence
Sherman, '60BAd., announced re-
cently.
The program, as it is now plan-
ned, would start with reception on
Thursday, June 9, to be followed
by an informal "get together"
either on the Diag or in Hill Aud.
Entertainment would be provided
by various campus and outside
groups.
On the next day, the Board
plans to hold an all-senior TGIF
in a nearby park area. Food, drink
and entertainment would be pro-
vided.
The program would then be cli-
maxed by the Senior Ball Friday
evening or a post-ball breakfast
in either the League or the Union.
This weekend program would be
primarily experimental, intended
to lead to longer and more event-
packed "weeks" in the. future if
the seniors support this beginning
program.
However, it will be the member-
ship of the various senior classes
that will determine whether or not
a Senior Week will be held this.
year as it used to be. A poll will
be taken of the seniors during
registration, and the Board will
decide whether or not to hold such
a program on the basis of the
results.
Evidence that at least 300 would
take part is needed, Board Presi-
dent Frederick Kolfiat, '60A&D,
explained.
ForBike
The recovery of a large number
of stolen bicycles in clearing the
bike racks emphasizes the need
for registering and licensing bi-
cycles, a notice from the office
of the vice-president for student
.affairs said.
Toa insure that this is taken care
of, a check for unlicensed bicycles
of those with expired licenses will
be initiated next semester.

The cause of the fire which oc-
curred early Tuesday morning in
the East Quadrangle has been
called accidental by Fire Marshal
Richard Williams.
Williams said that after com-
pleting his investigation of tihe
fire he was of the opinion that it
started when someone dropped a
cigarette by the door of the room
in Anderson House. The air
sucked the sparks under the door
which caught fire to either a mat-
tress cover or coat that was hang-
ing just inside the door, he said.
