Wellesley citizens go to the polls next Monday, Mar. 6, to elect town officials. The candidates, competing for a place on Wellesley's school conunittec, disagree about at least one issue: l\1ETCO.

Sponsored by Carnegie founda­tion, METCO gives students from "culturally depri\'ed" areas the op­portunity to attend schools in neighboring communities. Since its inception in Boston two years ago, this federal program has ti-ans­ported hundreds of students, most­ly from Roxbury, to neighboring towns.

.METCO Wellesley's school committee

voted last year to join the pro­gram. Ts a result, 25 Negro stu­dents have attended Wellesley high school since last fall, and J.\.tETCO supporters arc proposing

to extend the program into the junior high.

The Committee introduced METCO to Wellesley without con­sulting townspeople through a re­ferendum or town meeting. Theil' unilaterial decision prom1>ted at­tacks from conservatives. In a re­cent poll sponsored by this con­servative clement, 80 percent of approximately 4500 participants voted against extending :'\IETCO. 11-tETCO supporters claim that the poll participants cannot adequatt'­Iy represent the nearly 14,000 eli­gible voters in the town.

He op· poses any intrusion of the federal government into what he consid<'rs the rights and duties of the com­munity. Mrs. Hjordis Stevens has also opposed federal interference with local schools.

Strategy For Change The Reader Writes The success scored by last Tuesday's forum and SEC-News

petition has demonstrated widespread student concern over the .P.re­sent College curriculum (see pg. I forum articles, pp. 4-5 petition signatures). Students have succeeded, finally. in communicating to administrators and faculty their sincere committment to increased student responsibility and independence in undergraduate educa­tion. That many faculty members ar\! also interested in these prob­lems was proven by their presence at the Founders forum.

The first 'teps toward educational reform, and perhaps the most ostentatious ones. have been taken. Now. in cooperation with the faculty, students must tackle the tedious chore of formulating spe­cific policy changes to present to Academic Council. The energies of talkers must be channelled into the energy of doers.

News would like to remind Its reader's that it is our policy to print all letters to the editors which we receive. We would like to encourage readers to write in concerning Issues about which they feel strongly. Let­ters should be 70 type charac­ters wide, double-spaced, and must be signed. They must be received in the News office by noon on Monday in order to ap­pear in that week's issue.

Distribution! We suggest that SEC and Academic Council form an a~/ hoc

committee to fini•h drafting the proposals generally outlined in the petition for a reduction in distribution requirements and for a volun­tary, limited pass-fail program. Membership on this committee should be open to all inferested students and teachers. To the editor:

Traditionally, Academic Council has moved slowly to change its curricular regulations. We hope the new clearly-demonstrated student support for prompt change will be the catalyst needed to quicken its pace.

Reform Abortion Laiv The nation is waiting for the New York state legislature to set

a precedent. That state's- 84-year old abortion law 'Which permits abortion only "to save the life of the mother'' now faces reform in committee. If the bill passes, it will open the way for similar liberali­zation in the 45 states that have the same statute. (In five states abortion may be performed to save the life and health of the mother.)

But the New York legislature is having trouble in its role of initiator. It faces not only the traditional Catholic opposition to abortion reform, but also political dissension resulting from a rift in the state's democraitc party.

The moral objections of the Catholic Church can create suf­ficient opposition ·to hinder the bill's passage. and the New York bishops have clearly stated their position. However, News refutes traditional objection, based on the Catholic belief that abortion is conscious murder, with a traditional answer: a more liberal abor­tion law will present a 'choice to each indh,idual patient. subject of course, to the approval of the hospital abortion committees; and the Catholic individual ftas the obvious option of choosing not to have the operation. There is no reason for the Catholic doctrine to deter­mine the future of the woman who believes that life begins. not with conception, but with birth. It is on this premise that Senator Robert Kennedy bases his approval of a liberalized law that will permit abortion in cases of rape, and he must be commended for his approach to this issue.

As if the Catholic opposition were not enough, the New York legislators are creating their own problem in the abortion question. Since assemblyman Blumenthal has assumed the sponsorship of the bill, he has been removed by Speaker Travia from the chairmanship of the important Senate Advisory Committee. This political maneu­vering shows a standing conflict between reformers and non-reform­ers in the New York democratic party. Travia and the more conser­avtive element of the party feel that the Blumenthal bill is too lib­eral - and Travia wields the power. By removi ng Blumenthal and by splitting the party, he lessens the chance of passing any bill. even a less liberal one, to replace the out-dated bill now on the statutes.

In order to prevent immcdiat.: defeat in cornrnittt::e. Blumen­thal has al ready had to modify his original bill. The bill which is now in committee would liberalize the law to provide for abortion in cases where pregnancy is detrimental to the life and mental or physical health of the mother; where the child will be born with physical or mental defects: where pregnancy is the result of rape.

Senator Jacob J a vi ts has said that ''the contemplated reform is reasonable and intelligent. .. It would be highly objectionable for political manipulation and party disunity to result not only in inhi­biting the passage of this partcular bill, but of any such reform bill in this session of congress.

Gal' Mig:!a' '6 An:: ~Jurray 'G,

Louise Rlt2mar ·5:; Caro! Sa oh. ·s:

From two different perspectives on Wellesley College, we have come t o question the distribution requirements currently in force. Although distribution require­ments were established to foster the breadth of the liberal arts edu­cation for which we came, we find them self-defeating. Their rigidity stifles what could be a creative in­tellectual search by partially de­priving the student of responsi­bility for planning her own educa­tion. They limit her ability to choose the total pattern of her edu­cation, and to consider the worth o f each course within that pattern. With Jes;; stringent distribution re­quirements, a student unsure of her goals would be able to experi­ment more freely. A student with goals would be able to explore hl'r interests more fully.

All too many freshml'n, under­standably concerned with fulfilling distribution requirements, cannot explore an area in depth early in their college career. Instead, they take courses which seem to them as freshmen irrelevant to the structure of their education. We suggest that students not burdened with distribution requirements would be able to use freshman year as a time of exploration and would then be able to make a pre­liminary decision upon a major by the end of freshman year. This de­cision could be reviewed with am­ple possibility of change after a sophomore year spent sturlying that area in depth without closing off experimentation. By the junior year, firmly established in an area of concentration, the student could review with her advisor and major department her total program. In all probability even a student with a deep commitment to a single area of study would come to sec of her own accord that her discipline requires breadth of learning as well as depth. However, the choice, responsibility and joy w ould be hers.

Distribution requirements arc imposed on the assumption that students are incapable of realizing for thcmselve11 the need in a liberal e<.lucation to be acquainted with many fields. But if such incapabili­ty exists, the distribution require­ments arc a direct cause of it. A student only learns to be respon­sible by being given responsibility.

Sincerely, Barbara Arnold '70 Leslie Pickering '67

To the editor: Last week\ editorial, "We, the

Undersigned." was hopefully an intro­duction to a seriou~ and immediate discu,sion of educational policy at Wellesley. In response to your requc\t for student opinion, I would like to offer some views on the distribution requirements.

formative a required course may be, the student is deprived of full ap­preciation and participation because she did not take the initiative for sel­ecting the course. In following stand­ardized directions a student loses some of the respOnsibility for her education. Protected by the require­ments. one can too easily blame the institution or a faculty member for the dissatisfaction. It seems that if students were forced to define their own educational objectives, there might be a more honest evaluation of the weaknesses both of the col­lege and of the individual. Free to choose any course. a student discon­tent with Bible 104 would have to look beyond the requirements for the source of the problem. When Music 103 or Art 100 do not fit into a four-year schedule, it would be because the student's own priorities, and not those of the college, had pre­vented her from exploring these fields.

educatedness which they may not share.

In sum, my criticism is that the present system of distribution re­quirements limits the amount of re­sponsibility students take for their education. Less rigorous require­ments would lead to more indepen­dence in planning of schedules. More independence in planning of sche­dules would lead to more self-criti­cism and course evaluation, and therefore, to a more complete educa­tion than many Wellesley students now have.

Sincerely, Deborah S. Davis '67

To the editor:

Distrihution requirements, by this or any other name, have always been a source of discontent to students and sometimes even to faculty. 1 think. therefore, thal it is quite likely that I should have paid little atten­lion to the current round of student complaints were if not for the fact th<it there :ire seniors among the critics. Seniors are in fact the only 'tudents whose self interest is not at stake; they have fulfilled their re­qu irements and will not benefit from the fruits of their labor-if it bears fruit. Any cause so selflessly esp0used deserves a hearing. So I found myself forced to look at the argument for distribution requirements from the point of view of a moral philosopher, and from that point of view I found it unacceptable. For it surely is not right to coerce an adult "for his own good" although it is ~ometimes right to coerce him for the good of the community.

Basically 1he reasons for distribu­tion requirements come to this: One wouldn'1 he a well-educated per>on if one did not know something about ... The only way we (the faculty) can make sure that our .\tudents will J..now something about ... is to make them Je;1rn something <1hout it. There­fore, di,tribution requirements. But, of course. we want our students to be well-educated persons for their own good. i c. we think it will en­hance the qualily of their lives.

I do not wish to be misunderstood. I think departments are entitled to set requirements for their majors. If you have decided to become a philo­sopher (or a physicist), you must ac­cept the experts' word on what you need to know to be a philosopher (or a physicist), and this may well involve courses not in the major de­partment. Furthermore I hope that most Wellesley students will wish to become well-educated in the above sense and that advising faculty would suggest to such students guidelines for choice that would not be too different from the present distribution require­ments. But tht:y would be guidelines for choice, not instruments of com­pulsion.

Very sincerely yours, Ruth Anna Putnam asst. prof. in philosophy

To the editor: The best concerete suggestion con­

cerning distribution requirements that I have heard is that the extrade­panmental science lecture course be established as a permanent course that could fulfiJI one term of the science requirement. It certainly ac­quaints the student with the aims and melhods of the scientific endeavour, as well as giving a taste of the con­ceptual content of the whole range of disciplines. If freshmen took this first, they would be better equipped to select at least one area to pursue further in order to complete the dis­tribution requirement. Given the breadth this course offers. one ad· ditional term of science should be ~ufficient to prepare the non-scien­tific student for "life in our technolo­gical age." But I wouldn't be sur­prised if it sparked a desire in many to go beyond this minimum. I would con~ider such a change a major step in requirement reform.

Sincerely, Janet Conn

To the editor: I am one of those few who

would not sign the recent petition regarding changes in academic re­quirements.

My reason for not signing the petition was that I was not in complete agreement with it.

Although I can't agree entirely with the tenets of this petition, I do agree in part with them. I would agree that as the system stands now, there are too many distribution requirements. But, the change that I would advocate is to no longer .have the large lecture courses required. Perhaps they could be fitted into the general distribut ion category of two units from art, music, or literature. or the category of tv .. ·o units from his­tory or philosophy.

I confess that 1hi~ argument used to convince me un11l I examined it not as a teacher but as a moralist. My objection to distribution require­ments is quite simply this: they are an unnecessary and tragic curtail­ment of liberty. They limit the stu­dent's freedom of choice. But is such limitation not quite unnecessaryz Does one not come to college full of eagerness to discover new worlds everywhere? The tragedy of distribu­tion requirements is that they re­place the high adventure of discovery, of "I dare to seek" with the drab­ness of "I must study".

Part of my reason for r ot wish­ing to have these courses specifi­cally required is that I feel there are other courses in the curricu­lum which give the student the same type of learning experience as the lectures. In discussing this with other girls, it was generally felt that we had all had at least one course, and often more, which gave us all the experiences which we seem to be getting in the spe­cial lecture courses.

I think they have become a scape­goat for a multitude of undifferentia­ted complaints by students and a false support for the advice by deans. In­stead of broadening a student's intel­lectual scope or deepening an under­standing of a discipline, the distribu­tion requirements are a substitute for critical examination of an academic program. Contrary to their purpose, they limit inquiry and do not foster intellectual independence or maturi­ty. Too often a course in a new field is taken to fulfill requirements and not to explore and widen one's interests.

But, it may be objected, what of the exceptionaJ student who comes to Wellesley already deeply com­mitted to a field, and who leaves Wel­lesley after four years having stu­died nothing but, e.g. chemistry, phy­sics and mathematics, or, for another exam p 1 e, philosophy, political science and economics-the famous Oxford PPE. Well, I should think that would be no tragedy: such stu­dents may introduce some needed variety into our student body. But even if it were a tragedy, I do no longer believe that we have the right to limit the freedom of our stu­dents for the sake of an ideal of well-

As I understand the reasoning behind the special lecture courses, they are supposed to teach us to learn without direct contact with our instructor as we would in a smaller class. This is silly, since in practise, the instructors of the lectures are every bit as available to all the students as they might be in a smaller class. There is little or no classroom participation, but, how many of us have had small classes in which we sat for the entire period and listened to a lecture without having a chance to ask questions or contribute to the class?

NY l"'egislature Confronts Abortion Reform /iy Prml\ Orlfler '69

The New York state lcgislatun' now confronts n bill demanding the liberalization of the state's abortion lnws. The same question has recently been taken up by the legislature~ of California nnd Ari­zona, as well as by the American Law Institute and the Civil Liber­ties Union.

The issue is a real one. Appro­ximately one to one and a half mil­lion American women undergo il­legal abortions each year. More than 300,000 suffer post-operative complications, and an estimated 10,000 illegal abortions end in death. New York state alone esti­mates 100,000 illegal abortions yearly. The statistics, national and local, are necessarily higher than the reported cases because so many abortions escape discovery.

Docton Prose<.'uted Meanwhile, the number of legal

abortions is declining because qua­lified doctors are being prosecuted for performing abortions in reput­able hospitals with the consent of the hospital's abortion committees. The ratio or illegal to legal abor­tions is ten to one.

In forty-five states, including New York, abortions may now be performed only "to save the life of the mother." In Alabama, Colora­do, Maryland, New Mexico, Ore­gon, and the Dlstlict of Columbia, they are permitted "to save the life and health of the mother."

The original bill introdu~ in the New York ll'gislature by 39 legislators under leadership of as­seblyman Albct-t II. Blumenthal, D­Manhattan would broaden the grounds for abortion to include these additions to the 84 year old law: 6 When there is substantial risk that the mother's physical or men­tal health would be impaired by continued pregnancy or that the infant would be born with a phy­sical or mental defect. 6, When the pregnancy resulted from rape or lncest. 6 When the pregnancy occured while the woman was unwed and under the age of 15, or while she .,..-as a mentally ill person or a mental defective.

In nn effort to kcc11 the bill from being defeated in committl'<', Blum­enthal deleted the clnuse cc111cC'rn­ing unwed girls under thC' ai.:e 11! 15 in a hearing on Feb. ~.

Catholk OpJIOSltlon The Feb. 8 public hearing of the

New York bill brought forth the opposition. Mr. Blumenthal per­sistently attacked and questioned the witnesses who 011posed the bill, nearly all of whom wer~ Catholic.

In Catholic doctrine the killing of the fetus Is murder. Catholic bishops or New York, using the Catholic Welfare Committee as their spokesman, have denounced the Blumenthal bill as a device to encourage "the new slaughter or the innocents."

Political Pressure In addition to th~ opposini; pres­

sures o( the Catholic bishops, there has been direct pohtical pressure. Since he began the sponsorship of the bill, Blumenthal has been re­moved from the chairmanship of the important Democratic Advi­sory Committee by Speaker An­thony J. Travia.

On the other hand, the New

York bill receives support fmm the medical and bar associations, from Protestant and Jewish organi7.a­tions, and from Ct\'il liberties groups.

In July, 1966, he went to Vice­President Humphrey, stated his desire to break off NSA's relation with the CIA, and appealed for funds from other sources. Hum­phrey is reported to have tried w SC'CUre other funds, but without much success. Sherburne neverthe­ll'Ss began to cut the amounts that NSA received from the CIA,

knocking out $50,000 and $80,000 chunks ut different times. As of January 1967, all funds from th<' CIA have stopped.

Overwhelming Majority of Students E_ndorse Reduction Ed. Note: On these pages is a partial listing of over 1200 stu­

dents who have signed the SEC-News petition. Drafted by Anne Rosewater '67, SEC chairman; Susan Sprau '68, News editor-in­cbief; and members of both organizations, the petition has circulat­ed amoog students since Thursday, February 23. The original s!gned petitions have been sent whb a cover letter to Academic Council in care of Miss Adams.

Listed separately are those signers who endorse only one of the petition's two specific proposals. A few signers reptaced the phrase. "quality of education," in the ·petition's first sentence with the phrase, "system of education."

We, the undersigned, would like to express our deep concern about the quality of education at Wellesley. We urge Academic Council to revise the preseent curricular regulations to allow greater intellectual independence, responsibility, and creativity.

Many changes in the present educational structure are needed to achieve this end. We particularly advocate a reduction in distri­bution requirements, effective Term I, 1967.

We also advocate prompt adoption of a voluntary pass-fail program which would permit students to elect a limited number of courses outside their major on a pass-fail basis.

We sign this petition in the hope that the Faculty will be re­sponsive to these proposals.

Student

Poll Examined;

Noted Requirements Change in Time

Dissatisfaction by Amanda Wiles '68 classics major felt the courses

Science requirements and lee- were so much "academic Mickey­ture courses were the main tar- Mouse.''

"Greek!"

Many students specifically sug-

gets of student cl'iticism in last spring's new-<:urriculum question­naire. The questionnaire, distrib· uted to members of the classes of gested reducing the science re-1968, 1969, and 1970 by the Cur- quirement to two units. A biology riculum Committee, indicated that an overwhelming majority of re­spondants were in favor. of some changes in the distribution r<:'quire­ments.

Almost !our fifths of the re­sponse from the classes of 1968 and 1969 and more than half of the class of 1967 requested fewer re­quirements. An average of 65 per­cent of each class responded. About five percent of the classes of 1968 and 1969 and 12 percent of the class of 1967 expressed satis­faction with the present require­ments. The remaining question­naires made no comment.

Cookie-Cutter Int<>Ilect The most common regret was

the sacrifice of other courses to fulfill less interesting requirements. One student noted how uninterest­ed members in required classes tend "to be dull, listless, apathetic and a burden on the poor teacher as well as dissatisfied themselves."

General comments on distribu­tion requirements eypresscd "re­sentment," "pain," and ''frustra­tion." One freshman said students "enter \Velleslcy with mdividuality and leave with a cookie-cutter in­tellect." A sophomore noted that the rcquir<'mcnts made it "possible to find yoursC'lf with an entire term of c11u1-scs not well-suited to

major said "two required lab courses is asking a lot." Freshmen registered the most emotional re­sponses - "Greek!"; "T'will be my undoing."

Several students suggested allow­ing more th3n two of the science requirements in a single subject. They preferred one good experi­ence to two introductory ones.

Dissenting Minority

Of the 5 percent who expressed satisfaction one freshmen felt "we need to bE' made to 'try things' even if we don't want to." A sophomore was glac! "since I would fJrobably make immature coices."

Very few students specifically criticizezd the requirement of Bible 104. Several science majors folt the three units required in the social science area were too many.

Miss Onderdonk said that all members of the Curriculum Com­mittee had read the questionnaires and summarized the results for the Academic Council. The results were tabulated by the end of Term I. She asserted, "the Council is aware of the variety of views ex­pressed nnd Le; interested in seeing what adjustments can lx• made." Sht• ndrled, "Adjustments arc nev­er instantane>ous, you know."

'The curriculum provides a framework within which each stu­dent is invited to construct a pro­gram of studies suited to her in· dividual interests which will enable her to achieve a sound liberal edu­cation." This is 1967.

The ''ordered progression of studies" can occur at any time during the student's four years at Wellesley, with the exception of English 100, a course for freshmen, and Biblical History 104, to be taken by sophomores.

Intellectual Independence In an era of diminishing require­

ments and greater flexibility in distribution, perhaps an examina­tion of the evolution of distribu­tion requirements at Wellesley can determine if, indeed, the College is fostering a program of educa­tion "to develop mature intellec­tu1d independence."

In its second year of existence, 1876, Wellesley College prescribed a General Course for its students. Working under the assumption that after the freshman year (when all courses were required) the faculty would be acquainted with the students, the College per· mitted upperclassmen to select one or two optional courses, pending the approval of the faculty. "The college," states the calendar of 1876, "cannot grant its degrees to students who have not laid tho­rough foundations for future study in a general and varied course of instruction. Nor can students be allowed to take elective studies because they are easy."

General Course The General Course required

Latin, mathematics, Grecian his·

tory, essay writing, elocution, and history of literature for freshmen; the option was provided for the student to take Greek, French, or German as her second language. Sophomore year followed essen­tially the same format with the addition of a required course in chemistry (physics, junior year) , and the option of botany. A senior would pursue the study of mental and moral philosophy and astrono­my in addition to the generally prescribed classics. Naturally, the "systematic study of the scrip­tures" was continued throughout the course.

The elective process became, not a matter of course, but of courses one could elect, after the fresh­man year, to pursue a course for Honor in classics, mathematics, modern language, or science-each with its prescribed content and study.

Further Liberties By 1881, the course option was

reduced to the classical course or the scientific course. In 1885, though freshmen were still with­out elective powers, upperclass­men received progressively greater liberties. Only Latin, Greek, and mathematics, plus chemistry, phy­sics, literature, rhetoric, Bible, his­tory, philosophy and psychology were required.

Ten yel\rs later, the courses had been extended to meet the grow­ing needs of the College. Require­ments came to be a part of the curriculum, not its essence. Full courses of English, mathematics. philosophy, mathematics, Bible, language, and two natural sciences were required. A year of physio·

The l•'Chtrc' rcquir<'mcnt was commonly lalK•lccl " f:ircic,d," •·ri­cliculous," and "nhsurtl." Several students c1111ld not understand a requirement "govc>rned by the mode of teaching rathcr than by subject." Almost all frlt that they obtained a suOlcient l<'cturc-course experience in olh('r courses.

Many commented that the rea­son they came to Wclk'slcy was to enjoy small clusses. A junior said "if the real reason is the> lack of enoui::h teachers, as the rumor snys, then it's a sncl situation for a school ,.,.•ith the size> of Welles· ley's C'nrlnwmc>nt." A rlis.i::nintle>tl

OKO C-TAL*OP TifE ... T

This weekend many students signed the SEC/~ew'!l petition ask­ing for a reduction of distribution requireme>nts and a limited pass­fail system. However, a small but vocal group rc>maincd apart, un­willing> to follow th~ multitudi>. In a random survey, Nc>ws sought to discover the major objections of the dissenters. Unfortunately, all too many of the stud(mts contacted had simply not heard about the petition, were unsure of its mC'an­ing, or had refused to read it.

Science In ,Jeopardy ThC' most common fear voiced

was that the science department would suffer should requirements be reduced or abolished. Peggy Adams '70 felt, "Eventually the science department will dis;1ppear, with the possible exception of bi­ology. This would create an inade­quacy for sciencc-oricntccl Pt'ople. Therefu,· " we mu"t have a pre­sentable science department."

Lois Feely '70 expressed the con­c~rn that people might not explore subjects outside their own inter­ests. "Most people who complain about the science requirement are not scientific minded. It is the pur­pose of a \Vellesley education to explore new fields. I personally find the other requirements dis· tasteful and I think people are just trying to make it easy for them­selves. I just don't think that people would explore other fields."

Wording Criticized Another prevalent objection cen­

tered on the way the petition read. Betsey Bates '67 had reservations about signing the paper because of the wot-ding. She felt that the word "quality" and "many changes required" should have been more clearly defined. "Perhaps," she said, "the wording could have stated 'some changes can now be se>en to be good.' Only in respect to science n>quirements would I be

concerned. The distribution re­quirements in other fields are not restrictive. They give the girl the liberal arts education she came to Wellesley for. The administra· tion is still evaluating the trimes­ter and has certainly discussed the problem of distribution require­ments extensively."

Another girl stated that "distri· bution requirements are a good thing more than a bad thing. Al· though the statement was liber· ally worded, I feel that most stu­dents hope that more will be done. I decided to remain on the nega­tive side to neutralize them.''

Pass· Fall Pass-fail did not seem to be the

major issue for girls' not signing the petition. Reasons for not con· sidering the pass-Cail were limited to lack of understanding oC what it entailed. Peggy Coulson '67 said, "I was just not sure about pass­fail. I thought a grade might be recorded somewhere and this was just defeating its purpose." Others felt that pass-fail wouldn't work for most courses.

findings demonstrate their belief that a national student organiza· tion truly must be independent. That such an ideal and its implicit course of action crune so late in the history of the Association can only be a source of regret, yet not to acknowledge their existence would be to disavow Phil Sher­burne's idealsim, and to deny that certain events ever took place.

It has been suggested by some that Wellesley withdraw from NSA; two arguments for with· drawal are that it would demon­strate our disapproval of NSA's past relationship with the CIA, and that Wellesley doesn't get much out of NSA anyway. To withdraw on the basis of the first argument, however, would be to ignore Phil Sherburne's and Eugene Grove's offorts to create a free student organization, and to disavow that ideal. It might be stated parenthetically that those who would withdraw so as specifically to disapprove of the CIA are confusing the issue.

logy and hygiene was also demand­ed. In addition, in 1897, a plan for areas of concentration and related work was presented.

In 1907, 58 hours were required for graduation. Of these, 22 were prescribed, required work. An 18-unit minimum of major and re­lated work was also maintained. Thus, 40 of 58 hours were well· structured by the college, leaving 18 hours (or 12 modern-day units) to the discretion of the student. Pbllosopby and Distribution: 19S6

Comments on the curriculum in 1936 read, "Prescribed work is planned to assure the student pos­session of certain skills which are of general use. Requirement of of general use."

Prescribed, henceforth, were three hours (per week for a year) of Bible, and three of English, plus one hour of physical educa­tion, and one of speech. Six hours (modern equivalent: four units) were to be elected from each of three groups: Group One--art, music, and literature; Group Two -social sciences; Group Three­natural sciences and mathema· tics The requirements for that area of concentration remained as they had been.

In 1940, the notation of the sys­tem was changed to semester hours, thus doubling the number or hours, but maintaining the ratio of prescribed work to that required for graduation. Six years later, credit for physical education and speech were,.removed from the cur­riculum.

More Explicit Dlstributlo11 Distribution requirements were

made more explicit. The Groups were preserved, but at least six hours had to be taken in a litera­ture, and the requirements of Group Two were to be divided evenly between (a) economic, poli­tical science, sociology and (b) history and philosophy. Llkevdse, in the science group, half of the requirements could be filled in one department, and half in another. Of the 36 hours of distribution re­quirements, 24 were to be filled during the freshman and sopho­more years.

Semester hours required for gra­duation in 1950 nubered 114: of these, 48 were required courses, 42 were to be from the field of concentration, and thus, 24 sem· ester hours (or eight units) were left to the pleasure of the student. Three Terms-And i\lany Unltll The three-term system was ini­

tiated at Wellesley in 1965. With terms came the abolition of sem· esters; with units, the disappear­ance of semester hours .Forty units are required for graduation. Eng­lish 100 is required of freshmen for one term; Bible 104, for two terms, sophomore year. The Group di· visions were dissolved, and distri­bution requirements on a unit basis were established.

The resultant change was sub­tle. There is a two-unit literature requirement, and a similar demand for music and art or a second lit­erature. That is, 12 semester hours of study are still required from the obsolete Group One. Two units of history of philosophy are required (as before), as are three units of economics, political science pgychology, or sociology-two in one discipline, one in another­thus raising that requirement by three semester hours or one unit. The science requirement remains as it has been since the nineteenth century: two units in one depart­ment, and two in another.

lnoovation~lndeed! Furthermore, two lecture cours­

es were added to the requirements for graduation. The new total, then, is 18 required units. Added to the minimum o! 15 units from the area of concentration, the 1965-67 Wellesley stuc ~tt has seven free units. ""

The story of ~itribution require· ments, then, a ~.Vellesley College, is not so muct i: m evolution as a history. Most 01 ·the hard-core lib­eral arts philosophy of 1876 has been maintained and integrated in· to the curriculum of 1967.

courses as art 100, 215-216, and physics 100 certainly fit my idea of a large lecture course, and how many Wellesley girls have taken these courses?

Dance Group to Give Impulse

The rest of the distribution re­quirements are satisfactory as far as I am concerned, although I am aware of large discontent among the rest of the students with these requirements.

Sincerely, Elaine Stein '68

To the editor: We object strongly to News' new

policy of endorsing candidates for college offices. In the first place, News is a monopoly. There is no other newspaper on campus. The only other campus news media, WBS, reaches far fewer people. Consequent· ly, when News endorses a candidate, there is, practically speaking, little chance for rebuttal. If News endorse5 a candidate on Thursday, no other candidate can, by means of pamph­lets, posters. and speeches, reach the entire college community with equiv­alent ei1posure by Monday. News is, effectively if unintentionally, cutting down the right of each candidate to be heard equally.

The Wellesley College Dance Group will present its annual con­cert "Impulse 196'7 this weekend, March 3 and 4, at 8 p.m. in Jewett Auditoriwn. The program, chore­ographed and danced by the mem­bers, will include a variety of dance forms from modern to ballet to jazz.

A voluntary pass-fail system could in some cases be beneficial, and would be nice for students who would be afraid to take cer­tain courses, which might be hard for them, and thus endanger their academic standing. But, I would like to point out that there is an equal possibility that courses out­side the major could be just as beneficial to academic standing for some people, and, that in that case if the student has chosen to have a pass-Cail grade, she could find herself in trouble when she was expecting a relief Instead. By this I mean that pass-fail grades con­tribute no quality points, and if one is short a quality point in one subj<"Ct, she would suffer more than if she had a grade which was of diploma grade standing or better. But, this would be the students' choice, I only think they should be aware of the situation.

Several experimental themes have been choreographed this year. Dana Stambaugh '67 will create dynamic patterns using dan­cers in tension with large elastics. Susan Gill '68 will glimpse into the psychedelic realm o! movement. Susan will also contrast slow or­ganic dance forms with lighter airy movement in an original piece en­titled "Phthisis."

Varied Program

In the c;econd place, News is spon­sored by the college to serve the en· tire college. lf it supports candidates, however, it is not an impartial in­formant of the whole college but the political organ of a part of it.

Charlys Mirikitani '67 will use the medium of Afro-jazz to pre­sent a one-act play based on the Harriet Beecher Stowe novel, Un· cle Tom•a Cabln. In addition, Char· lys and Dana have choreographed a provocative duct on the theme of creation.

Finally, News is an excellent paper.

In closing, I don't feel that the present requirements are handicap­ping intellectual independence, re­sponsibility, and crea tivity, be­cause, they do allow a large mar­gin of freedom, and they introduce the student to a greater number of acndenuc fields in which to ex­ercise tlut independence, responsi­bility, an:t creativity.

Frances McConnell '67

Because of its high quality and usually rea onable tone, student~ be· heve what it ~ays and respect the opinions of its editors. We believe News' prec;entation of the views of each candidate is very helpful to students in deciding for whom to vote. But they should be presented impartially. Since most people at Wellesley do not know all the candi­dates, the opinions of a few wh~m the students re~pect can determine the way the ~tudents vote. It is not fair for News to influence students as much a~ it will if it continues in this policy.

Anti-Endorsement To the editor:

The first of Newa' college office endorsements seems to have low­ered rather than raised the level of the CG elections.

The endorsements seem to have been made on the basis of a very limited number of overly-simplified issues. A candidate for chief jus­tice was endorsed basically for her proposal of publication of maxi­mum-mm1mum court penalties. The NSA-SEC representative was endorsed primarily for her posi­tion on course evaluations.

While I am not disputing the validity of these candidntcs' posi­tions on these issues, I cannot agree that these positions should be News' basic criterion for en­dorsement.

Wha t about such factors as past expc:rience or interest in the organ­nlzntion ,.,.·hose omcc the ca ndi­date ls seeking, be it CG, court, or NSA-SEC? Have the candidates advanced their views, which News now endorses, previous to their candidacy, at the time when some oC the issues were being raised? SEC had a number of discussions concerning course evaluation forms; did the candidates advance their views at those times?

Newa' endorsements on the basis of overly simplified issues is also reflected in its non-endorsement of candidates for Senior Vice Presi­dent. The basis for non-endorse­ment was the fact that the candi­dates 'failed to disagree markedly on any significant issue and offer­ed only vague outlines of the changCll they wished to implement.' The questions discussed in the edi­torial concerning this office - the role of Vil Juniors and Senate's role­in academic matters - are com­plex issues that cannot be solved by a catchy slogan-type solution which would have made one candi­date differ strikingly from the others.

Rather than relinquishing its re­sponsibility for endorsing a candi­date for this office due to concen­sus (slc) among the candidates and the lack of any set solutions, News should have concerned itself with such things as past stands taken and interest shown by the candidates in the issues involved. It also should have considered lea­dership qualities of the candidates.

News can surely do better than

To the editor: A News editorial last week raised

the question of the proper function of a campus literary magazine. I think it unfortuna1e that the article reflected neither very comprehensive nor thoughtful treatment of the is­sues involved.

News' criticism of the present fre­quency of Keynote publication im­plies that unle~ Keynote publishes more than twice annually, it is not fulfilling its function on campus. It seems to me that substance and not frequency of publication should be the primary criterion of a literary magazine. However, even assuming the essentiality of more frequent pub· iication, certain factors make this infeasible if not impossible. The majority of campus literary magazines publish twice annually. While I am sure that most of them would be very happy, even eager, to appear p1ore frequently, finances prohibit this. Keynote receives a grant which covers less than !l.i publishing expenses for

the ye;ir. A s ii stand5 now, we have lo raise over S 1,000 to meet ex­penses. I am unable to believe that N ew..• urge for financial support will bring us an extra $600. If the community wants more frequent publication, it simply has to for il.

P1!11clran1'.~ an\wer to this has been to almost eliminate publi~hing costi. by du plica1inl? issue~. K1,1·11a1e could turn to 1he duplicating machine. But even if frequency of publication is n primar} aspect of its func1ion. there are other essentials v.hich l feel News failC!<l to examine compktely. We have a ver) strong feeling that an, photograph~, and music are an essential part of creative wori. on campus. None of these can be very well duplicakd on the machine in Gret:n. Al o, Ke1note is sent, in many cases as the sole repre~entative of Wellesley, to over 50 colleges throughout the country. As !>Uch, ii has a responsibility lo strive for ex­cellence in ils format.

The edi1orinl also raised the ques­tion of quantity versus quality of both published material tmd critical audience. 1 would like to see the reasons behind Kn11ore'.1 and Pe11-clra111 s very difere~t stands on this examined more fully. 1 know that it is ver} painful 10 have your poem or stOf} criticized or reiccted b} a board. Rut I fed that publishing everything submitted makes a mock­ery of a lilerary magazine. We do nol as,ert that there i~ not room or even need for both conccpls here. Making available everything written on campu~ b a concept of function which Keynorr is unwilling to fulfill. Ke1•11ote mainlains that its particular purpose lies in publishing the best work produced al Wellesley: and in this, it feels that it is directing its magazine to the intcresls of the com­munity.

T seriously question the editorial's assertion that the amateur artist pre­fers the reaction of many lo that of a qualified few. Keynote's meetings are open. and artists arc more than welcome to sit in on and reply to criticism. Our board con.mts of 14 members, repre~enting different clas­ses, interests. and points of view. Keyrwrr considers very carefully and with much debate, every piece of work submitted to it. The criticisms, questions, and praise. both majority and minority opinions, of the board arc taken personally by a board mem­ber to the writer involved. T he care­ful thought of people who are inter­ested in and care seriously about creative work on campus is an ex­tremely important aspect of Key­note's service to the community. I regret that instead of clarifying or examining seriously the questions raised by the existence of Keynote and Pe11cltanr on Campus, News has ~n fi l to publish an editonal which handles skimply and distorts the is­sue~ involved.

Tokenism Denied (A carbon <'OPY of the followinir

letter was rt'cel\'t'd by the editors for publication In Newi..)

To the Editor , Amherst S tudent Amherst College Amherst, Mass.

I have enjoyed reading the Am­herst Studen t issue on t he "Se\•en Sisters," which has just come across my desk. The authors of the article on Wellesley should be praised for their relati\'cly objec­tive presentation of the current concerns of a large part of the student body.

Some response should be made, however, to their statement that "The school accepts a token num­ber of Negroes and keeps the Jew­ish segment to about 12'> ." Re­sponsible journalism requires that assertions of this nature be backed up with some evidence indicating their accuracy, or, at the least, with an attribution to some au­tboritive source. Yet, in the article, this sentence stands by itself, with no further elaboration.

I would like to state categori­cally, on the basis of my own ex­periences as a member of the Board of Admissions at Wellesley, t hat t here is no truth whatsoever to_ the dual charges levcll('d at the College in the sentence quoted above. There is no quota for Jew­ish students, and no attempt to discr iminate against Jewish appli­cants. It is true that Wellesley does try to enroll students from all sections of the country, and t hat such a policy docs adrl to the difficulties facing applicants from New York, New J ersey, Connecti­cut, and Massachusetts; however, if the competition for admission from t hese states is stiffer than it is (or applicants from states like Montana and Arkanas, it is Just as m uch stiffer for Protl•stants and Catholics from the named states as it is for students of Jewish ori­gin. I would add further that 1) there is no geographical quota and 2) no unqualified sturlents are l'\t'r admit ted in order to add to the geographical dispersion of the stu­dent body.

Little need be said in response to the charge of "tokl'nism." Ad­mittedly, few Negro s tudents are enrolled a t Wellesley. The facts, however , are that the Board of Admissions is eager t o get appli­cations from qualified Negro girls ; unfortuna tely, there ar c n o t enough Negro students in the U.S. today whose educa tional back­grounds are sufficiently enriched to prepare them adequat ely for work at institutions like Wellesley and Amherst.

Last fall, the Board of Ad mis­sions read approxima tely 400 ap­plica tions for accepta nce under Wellesley's E arly Decis ion Plan; as fa r as we could discover , not

one of these applications came from a Negro high school senior . My colleagues and I spent quit e some time discussing our disap­pointment a nd fr ustr ation over this s tat e of affairs. If there is ra­cial discrimination at Wellesley. I would ven t ure to say that it is discrimination in favor of qualified Negro applica nts.

While I t hink that Wellesley -a nd probably many other colleges like Wellesley - arc innocent of deliberate "tokenism," I do not wish to imply that American insti­tutions •)f higher education should be absolved of their clear-cut re­sponsibili ty to act, indi\'ldually or jointly, to improve the educational opportunities of the culturallv. economically, and educationaliv deprived, regardless of race. D~­spite isolated and tentative efforts by \'arious institutions, the full rli­mensions of t his challenge ha\'e yet t o be faced. Certainly, now is hardly the time for colleges and universities to rest on t heir laurels.

Election Connnent To the editor:

As members of the Wellesley Col­lege faculty and as resident of the to"n of Wellesley, we ";int to e\· press our deep concern about the forthcoming election for the town\ school committee.

We are proud of the public system in Wellesley. Mo\t of the graduate' from the Wellesley public school \ystem whom we have encountered in our classes are as well prepared for college work a~ graduates from other outstanding public and private pre­paratory schools. We want to keep 11 that v.ay.

To keep abreast of the fa~t-mov­ing changes through which :;econdarv and even primary \Chools are pa~­

'ing. it 1~ necessary to have school commiuee member~ who are com­mitted to high standard' for educa­tion anJ who are willing to look realistically at wa}~ to matntain and improve them.

Our specific concern b with the candidac} for the school committee of Mr. Gilbert Stubbs. He now :.er­ves as president of the Eastern Mas­sachusetts chapter of the Americans for Constitutional Action. The ACA has taken a stand aga inst so many of the current trends in pu'blic school ed ucation that it is hard to sec how anyone who supports its platform can cope with today's problems.
