EDITOR'S NOTES: Following the recommendation of the Alum• 21 ni Council and in keeping with the College Letters to the policy of having the alumni better informed about Dickinson, we are pleased to announce that beginning with this issue, THE DICKINSON editor ALUMNUS, will be published six times a year. Some readers may question that the un• changed masthead does not coincide with the announcement of the editor's resignation in the last issue. The former editor has been asked Alumni affairs 22 to continue in his role until a successor is found. Your comments continue to be wel• comed and will be of great assistance to the new editor as he or she formulates an editorial policy. Personal mention 24 The second installment in THE DICKINSON ALUMNUS' search for new meaning in the adjectives used to describe our College is concerned with church relationship. Dickinson's Church re• lationship is linked to her founding and has witnessed many changes over nearly two hundred years. For a discussion of this topic, two men who are deeply involved in both college and church offer their views. Church related yes Church controlled-no

hen I was accepted Wby Smith College to spend my junior year in Hamburg, I dreamed of the fantastic opportunity of studying in an academ• ically free European uni• versity. After having spent several months here in Hamburg, I realize the impos• sibility of this dream for a junior year abroad student. The academic freedom stems from the fact that the European students have no exams from the time they set foot in the university until three or four years later when they leave and take the one final exam. We, who are here for only one year with no final exam, must have an exam for each course, thereby losing the free• dom of the European students. For this reason and be• cause of the language barrier, I feel, and I think I can speak for the other 12 in my group, this value of this year is not academic. Then what is the value of spending a year abroad? The answer for me is seeing my accepted and Ameri• can way of life thrown against a different and German way of life. This contrast makes it easier to see what I value and what I dislike in my life as an American. One idea that comes to me again and again from this juxtaposition is how deeply an open society is in• grained in me. I do not feel that the Germans have this feeling. For example, all Germans must carry an iden• tity card from the government. When they change res• idence for more than four weeks, they must register with the police and obtain new papers. This doesn't seem like much until you think of the meaning behind it: the government not only has the right to know the whereabouts of all its citizens, but also the citizens must go to the government, not the government to the citizens. Another example: there is a law throughout Germany that no person under sixteen is allowed in a Nancy Witherell Germany public building after 10 p.m. I don't think such a law Susan G.

had been planning to I study abroad ever since I decided to be a language major, and now that I am here I highly recommend a junior year abroad for everyone who is planning ' to major in languages. The advantages so outweigh the disadvantages that I feel Mary Coffman and friends in Paris it should be a matter of course rather than choice for language majors. I believe this is the case in a few Linn Imler (on the left) schools in Pennsylvania already.

SUGGESTED READING IN MATHEMATICS. The books for graduates in mathematics are Iisred in the order of increasing difficulty, ranging from orientations to technical discussions indicating the fron• tiers of contemporary research in the subject, The books listed for the general reader may also be of interest to young persons now studying mathematics,

These volumes contain a total of eighteen expository lectures given at George Washington University. The lectures are by eminent men whose intention it was to "delineate a sub• stantial research area, to describe it broadly and comprehensively for an audience of mathematicians who are not specialists in that area "

Books for the general reader: Bell, E.T., Men of Mathematics. New York, Simon and Schuster, Inc. (Paperback edition $2.25.) Bell's object is "to lead up to some of the dominating ideas governing vast tracts of mathematics as it exists today and to do this through the lives of the men responsible for these ideas."

Smith gives evidence .in this writing of wide experience in various parishes, as well as alert pastoral concern for persons with profound religious questions arising from the ambiguity and con• tingency of life in the modern world. It is refreshing to know he has continued to read, even in re• tirement from the active parish, no less to take up the pen. To be quite candid, Mr. Smith is an old line liberal who has earnestly sought to grasp the problems and speak to the condition of con• temporary men and women out of this perspective. There is no doubt concerning the sincerity of the author. His answer is forthright to the question "Which is the best of the world's religions?": "To my mind Christianity." In this book Mr. Smith lifts up the major questions facing both men and women. He has a chapter on each of the following: God, Christ, Prayer, Justice, Sex, Freud, Immortality, Evil and Fear. Mr. Smith is convinced that men today do not need the spiritual pep pill of a cherry but shallow sermon nor the tranquilizing bludgeon of ecclestiastical authoritarianism. In this spirit he is concerned about your and old alike and wishes to throw some light on the winding, rock-strewn path that leads to swamp and thicket to a bright tomorrow. It is apparent that this book is a series of edited sermons of the popular var.iety. The style is clear so that those who run may read. While Mr. Smith is not concerned about the deep mysteries and the profound questions of eternal me anirig and relevance, he does articulate the symptoms of our sensate society. His spiritual guidance

The Dickinson Alumnus 16 comes from William Blake, Dwight L. Moody, Albert Schweitzer, Rabindranath Tagore, William Law and Martin Buber. Mr. Smith's eclectic approach recognizes that today's young people "have every right to reject the moral, ethical, religious and political standard of their fumbljng elders." Mr. Smith's Primer is aimed at those who "need an .intelligent, reasoned, calm and quietly inspiring message of faith that w.ill help to renew their power of attack on life." On the whole we are given a positive appraisal of Christian faith and its possibilities for meeting and transf'orrning the great realities of our time. There is an openness here which is infectious and be• speaks of a gentle mind seeking "a working faith for an age of anxiety."

The final paragraph is suggestive of the intent and content of Mr. Smith's book:

The faith that I have been talking about is not a Sunday thing, not another worldly thing, nor a dogmatic thing. It .is a dinner-pail faith; it works; it calls on you to work. It does not withdraw you from the world, it involves you even more closely with it. It does not prom• .ise you peace of mind. Instead, it offers revolutionary ferment. It brings you fulfillment in the struggle for which you were made, the unending struggle for the Kingdom of God. In that battle fear is cast out and anxiety falls away, and you know that you are one with your brethren in God in a koinonia whose heart is that unbounded love which is agape. Joseph D. Washington, Jr., Chaplain of the College

Richard F. Staar, '48, The Sovietization of a Captive People, Louisiana State University Press. The value of Professor Staar's work lies in the fact that he provides a scholarly study in an area that has largely been neglected. As is well known, there arc many works available on the Soviet Union and its satellites, but very few which deal entirely with Poland. As the title implies, Professor Staar is concerned with documenting the gradual but concentrated eff• orts to sovietize Poland. This he does well. His description of Poland's governmental and political structure indicates a strong similarity w.ith that of the Soviet Union. Soviet .ideological leadership is espoused in the preambles to the 1952 constitution and to the Party statue, and in the declaration of faith of the Polish Communist Party. Soviet influence on the Polish army .is exemplified by the 1950 oath, whereby the military swears to uphold the preservation of peace by standing indominately "beside the Soviet Army and the other allied armies." Soviet leadership in Polish foreign affairs, Professor Staar asserts, is particularly pronounced. However, .it is the author's contention, that despite all these outward manifestations of sovietization, the Poles, traditionally close to western Europe, mainly France, and historically hostile to Russia, themselves have not been sovietized. To verify this, Staar makes mention of the following: 96 percent of the population adheres to the Roman Catholic faith; the attempts to collectivize agriculture have resulted in failure and were not resumed after 1956; only ten percent of rural youth participates in the Union of Rural Youth, whose task it is to educate youth in the spirit of socialist ideology; Gom• ulka's almost unanimous election as head of the government in 1957 indicated not a vote for Commun• ism, but a vote against the Soviet Union. The author further asserts that, if Poland were to have a free election, the Communists would probably be voted out of power. This assumption, though perhaps valid, cannot be substantiated, and may be, in fact, too optimistic. Professor Staar's argument is that the party's strength represents only approximately 4.4 percent of the population, and therefore cannot adequately represent the interests of the popula• tion. Th.is argument is faulty in neglecting to note that the party by choice is small, for, following the dictum of "What Is To Be Done?" in which Lenin outlined party tactics and strategy, the party must be " . _ . a small, compact core, consisting of reliable, experienced and hardened workers ... " Even 4.4 percent constitutes too large a party membership, for within the Soviet Union, for example, mem• bership has been restricted to approximately 3 percent of the population. This does not necessarily

preclude that others may wish to join the party. Whether, however, desire t00 join the party is moti• vated by sympathy w.ith Communist goals or by opportunism cannot be ascertained. One further weakness of this otherwise scholarly work is that Poland's role within the Soviet bloc as a political entity with certain power to influence Soviet policy is not made clear. That Soviet Policy t towards Poland has been more lenient than towards other satellites and why this may be so, .is not mentioned. The danger, from the po.int of view of the Soviet Union, that Poland, Hungary and Yugo• ·I slavia in 1956 (following Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" denouncing Stalin) might have formed a zone of national Communism, iu effect separating East Germany from direct Soviet control and possibly en• couraging Czechoslovakia to side with Yugoslavia's nationalist policy, is thereby also ignored. Thus, Poland as a possible influencing agent of Soviet policy has been virtually neglected in this study for the sake of presenting that country as totally dom.inated by the Soviet Union. Karin E.
