College, 1954 PRICE 20 CENTS afew Honor System in Exams Begins; Plan To~ Insure Consideration For All he German oral on Saturday, ber 16, will be the first exam given under the new academic hon- or system which the college, stu- approved last spring. ks ‘the basic regulations in the new system of administering exams are to insure consideration for others vaking the exam and for the fac- ulty members marking them, Stu- dent .proctors, whose main job is to keep. the building quiet, will be lo- cated at central areas on each noor. A student wishing their aid will be able to contact them easily. - he examination itself will be written in “blue books” or other papers provided by the college. No books or papers should be brought, into the room to prevent the noise and contusion of rattling papers and unwieldy books. Students are free to leave the M.

Dr. Mead has been associate cu- rator of Ethnology of the Amer- ican Museum of Natural History since 1942 and was a director of Columbia - University Research in Contemporary Cultures in °1948. She held a National Research|’ Council Fellowship for the study of adolescent girls in Samoa and a Social Science Research Council Fellowship for the study of young children on the Admiralty Islands. “Coming of Age in Samoa” and “Growing Up in New Guinea” are |’ among her numerous publications.

At brief hail meetings early next week the academic honor system wili be discussed and its rules clarified. Freshmen Present Variety Uf Drama How talented are this year’s Freshmen?

Leader Dem. Candidate States Unemployment Major Issue State Senator George M. Leader, Democratic candidate for Governor of. Pennsylvania, told a group of Bryn Mawr and Haverford stu- dents that “The major issue in the campaign this year is unemploy- ment.” Senator Leader spoke at a meeting held in Goodhart Hall on Tuesday. ~ Commenting upon what he sail ed an “economic blight over what was originally the industrial ‘north- east,” Leader called attention to the gmall increase in industry ~in Fenngylvania as compared to the increase in the South. To revital- ize industry .in the state, Sen. Leader spoke in favor of lower power rates, long-term leases for companies on new buildings and | plants, and an active State Plan- ning ion, In» to student questions on the pl ht of the ¢oal industry, Senator Leader said that he had no-miracles for its récovery. He stated that the primary reason for the drop in the industry was the increased use of gas and oil as fuel, and expressed the belief that an increase in population in Penn- sylvania would help to. solve some — rks and “unemploy- of the problem. Lepr Senator Leader speutiouad the prevention . of hasty injunctions, ment compensations, enforcement of a minimum wage law, and a labor-management council as im- provement he would make in the field of labor relations. Senator ‘Leader felt that Penn- sylvania was “a generation behind the times” in such fields as éeduca- tion and government. administra- 4 tion. He noted the failure of the previous Republican administration in Harrisburg to achieve the four major goals set forth by Gov. Fine in 1953. These were (1) govern- ment reorganization, (2) constitu- tional revision (3) reapportionment of House and Senate (4) state Fair Employment Practices Commis- sion. Senator Leader found the Ad- ministration to be successful only in half of point (3), which was the reapportionment of the House. Senator Leader said he felt the state should work in conjunction| - with housing authorities of major cities, thus helping to fill the vac- uum which he believed had been left by: the failure of the federal]. government in housing. Senator Leader, who opposes the state sales tax, said he felt that the loss of this income could be _j compensated for by an increased| — \Junior Show Cast Sails Into Tropics By Charlotte Smith The tropical Isle of Manymon, seething with a convict, a Wall Street Swell, Flossie; A Girl, and a mob of natives is rumored to be sinking into the sea!

Spanish decor has been empha- sized throughout the first floor, where there are combined smokers and showcases, Vivid reds and yellows combine with such treas- ures as a chest and mirror from Madrid, a brocade drapery from Valencia in the dining room, a carved table from Madrid, and two antique Spanish chairs which were formerly in the President’s office. These have been nicknamed Fer- dinand and Isabella by the stu- dents. ‘The third floor has been devot- ed to Spanish students, consisting of Lois.

Here’s To Hall Reps The plan this year to have volunteer rather than nom- inated candidates running for hall representatives to the campus organizations seems to us a very good idea. We hope that this can be developed to include a period of perhaps a week of informal discussions between the Candidates and the hall. If those who have put themselves up for election would take it upon themselves to talk to the members of their hall about any ideas or plans they would favor and support if ; elected, they would be doing the campus a service. After a week of exchanging views, the hall could have decided on some person who has the interest and initiative necessary to bea good hall representative. And the candidates would have a wealth of suggestions and complaints which they could carry to the organization if elected, or to the victorious can- didate if defeated. ‘We believe that such a system, compared to the old nom- inate and elect before the 7:45 double feature at the Suburb- an, would result in better.candidates and more interest among the student body. Representatives today are often chosen because they are “well-rounded” or r have had a course in poli’ sei or sociology. e People tend to reason that because a girl han shown talent and responsibility in planning a dance, she can show “the same as a delegate to the Alliance. But hall representa-. tive to an organization is not an executive job, and it is not merely one more “honor” to list after one’s name. It needs ‘most of all a person who has a great enthusiasm for her or- ‘ganization—so much enthusiasm that she won’t mind at- tending a meeting every week, listening to anyone in the hall who at any time has a suggestion for ‘improvement, or: putting a little extra effort into seeing that a function isn’t’ : Just. announced at dinner, but sports a poster. ths s0dy as a whole would feel a more impor- | t part in campus life.

Right down to the last fliche. (Not that we don’t agree.) ! American college women have little.conception of the meaning of 2 liberal education or. of intellec- tual thoroughness. They do better men, but they are more eager to get by with the professor, they are not challenging,: and they are not subject. Students at Fault This is the substance of the ac- cusation made, by a writer in the December American Mercury. Whether or not he had our own fair college in mind, he could hard- ly have found a better example of the truth of his contention. Bryn Mawr, with all its reputation for academic distinction is in some re- spects woefully lacking in an un- derstanding of real intellectual prowess or a humanistic education, to judge by its,.undergraduate body. The fault, we thinks, rests with both students and/the edu- cational methods employed. As to the former, the undergraduates; at least, do their work well, they com- plete the tasks assigned, and they pass their cours¢s, but any orig- inal nasa ty is as pain- ful as it is raye. We sit and swal- low all that pba professors-tell us with even more placidity than we absorb th books we read: Outside reading /in our’ courses is ‘almost never /andertaken unless there is some/ prospect ef getting “credit” for At, and our slavish devotion to bg is revealed’by our conversa- n. The amount of time we have been studying and our “terror” at the thought of a quiz tomorrow would seem to be the only phases of our academic work which inter- est_us..The fundamental and most serious’ fault is our attitude, how- ever, and it is perfectly typical that our studying must have a con- crete: and immediate end. - “We learn things in order to be able to bring them out in conversation,” as an upper classman naively: put it. We want to be charming hos- tesses, to get a degree, to appear cultured, and so we emerge from college with a bowing acquaint- ance with several branches of knowledge” and an understanding of none. Small wonder we are known as intellectual snobs! With all our abysmal ignorance, we as- sume a virtue when we have it not. System Evil But the system is quite as much to blame. Required reading, which makes one read against time or against the number of pages, ex- aminations and quizzes that are given on assignments rather than on subjects, the consumption of changed by any thought on ‘the part of the student, on her exam- ination, all these are cells in the prison known as college education. | Apparently, at present, we cannot | change the system. But while we cannot tear down the walls that surround us, we may by our own efforts be able to climb over them. To put understanding before the mere acquisition of facts, and in- tellectual honesty before a good mark, to prefer to know a subject rather than_to pass a quiz—these are some of the steps which will help us over.

Sheppie Glass, ’b7, returned from the Seventh Annual Nation- al Student Congress “very much impressed with the strength and scope of N.S.A.” Sheppie was Bryn Mawr’s representative at the Congress, held at Iowa State Col- lege on August 22 to 31. She left the conference convinc- ed that “the National Students As- sociation had a lot,to offer Bryn Mawr in the fields of internation- al relations ard student legisla- tion. Bryn Mawrtyrs interested in active participation in N.S.A. should keep several things im mind: 1, “NJS.A. on the campus is pri- marily an information center and co-ordinating agency that cannot contribute to campus life. unless the student body is willing to seek it out. 2, “What N.S.A. can do for local level.” .N.S.A., in the’ Penn- sylvania region, holds several con- ferences a year. Gillette Speaks Sheppie heard an address by Senator Guy Gillette of Iowa, and listened to messages sent to the conference by President Eisenhow- er, Vice-President Nixon, Harold E, Stassen and Adlai Stevenson. She attended meetings, regional caucuses, and voted on numerous resolutions presented to the con- One of these called for an im- mediate end to segregation in all institutions of higher education, and outlined steps by which stu- dents might help achieve this end on their own campuses. Southern schools initiated the drafting of this resolution. The drafting com- mittee was composed of students from all sections of the country and of different races and*.relig- ions, The N.S.A. had Seon. awarded a $30,000 Ford Grant, it was -an- nounced, to expand their activities in student government.

Weekend Diggin Means‘New’ W BMC Two days of industrious digging fulfilled one of WBMC’s most am- bitious —plans when seven Haver- ford engineers joined their femaie counterparts in laying an under- ground cable between Pembroke and Denbigh last weekend. - The trench in which the cable was laid was quite a feat—its tor- tuous route includes a tunnel un- der the pavement which leads to Dalton. It was the only way, though, since the earlier plan of running the permanent cable along the heating pipes proved imprac- tical. The new wiring is_an—im- provement over the temporary sys- tems which went from rooftop to rooftop and had to be put up again each autumn.

From the Latin department, Miss Marti has a Guggenheim Fel- lowship for research on medieval interpretations of Roman Stoic writers. At this point she is in Rome and will move to Spain in the spring. ‘Miss Gilman, of the French de- partment, is in Paris working on early 18th century French poetry. She will return to. Cambridge, Mass. in the spring. A Fulbright scholarship was awarded to Miss Angeline Lo- grasso, head of the Italian depart- ment, who is now doing research on Dante in Florence. Mr. Bernheimer, of the History of Art department, has been given a grant to explore Italian sour¢es of architectural romanticism. He will not, however, make use of his grant this year. Scientists Excel All the professors who are using research grants here at the ‘college are members of science de- partments. Miss Gardiner, ‘head of the Biology department, has re- ceived a grant from the National Institute of Health, (She is study- ing problems of growth, and con- centrating on plant materials. By growing isolated tissues in a chemically defined medium it can be shown what elements are nec- essary for growth and what caus- ed plant tissues to break down. Miss Gardiner has been ’carrying on this research for two years. Miss Bliss, also of the Biology department, is doing research for the third year on a grant given to her by the National Institute of Health. Her subject is “Studies of Bacterial. Resistance to Anti- biotics and other Chemotherapeu- tic Agents.” She is testing to note their loss of resistance to an- tibiotics and new anti-bacterial agents. Mr. Pruett, of the Physics. de- partment, has received a grant from the National Science Founda- tion for research in the field of nuclear physics. His work deals with’ the fact that radioactive atoms are radioactive because they are unstable and, therefore, emit radiation.

Spring “Counterpoint” Satisfactory ~Zyhibits Uneven Technical Skills h “ . appropriate costumes, By Evelyn DeBaryshe A review of Counterpoint four months after it appeared? Yes. It was published two days before we left. It was a satisfying issue, with upper and lower classes represent- ed—perhaps not enough shown by the freshmen of last year. Most of the writing struck me as decidedly experimental, in the non avant-garde sense. “The Im- portant Things in Life,” by Char- lotte Smith, and “My Birthday Be- gan With The Water,” by Jessica Dragonette, are good examples of | a certain, spirit. that I believe per- vades the magazine, that is, a feel- ing that a-form or a plot is being tried on for size. Yet this effect is natural and to be expected. Charlotte Smith’s story is a case in point. It is essentially a profile of a horsey’ gentleman - seen through*the eyes of one who has deserted the hunt club for Broad- way....-An..O’Henry ending for a work intended primarily for enter- tainment does not clear up the story’s major problem, that of “voice.” A short story in the tra- dition she has chosen to further requires skilled and slick handling but fuzzy characterization, unreal dialogue and above all, the con- fused idiom of the narrator ob- scure in this piece the real humor that lies in the writing. “My Birthday Began With The Water,” by Jessica Dragonette, is technically better handled than the first piece. Although she writes from within a young man’s mind, Jessie manages to attain some ‘shadow of plausiblity for the peo- ple she creates. The dialogue is improbable and the melodramatic “action is not supported by hints of the depth of the importance of the affair. Nevertheless, the story is well paced and Jessica imparted some genuine’ feeling to the actors of her piece. “Miss Sedule’s Dilemma” seems to me the most pleasing and_ac- complished piece of the collection. | ‘upon Charlotte Busse discusses the growth of a mind from childhood to what is presumably early ‘adult- hood with unusual understanding. She is also blessed with the ability to express her unique vision in light, sure language. Perhaps the most endearing attribute of her piece, critically speaking, is the or- ganic quality of her metaphor. Symbolism has not been thrust simple statement; rather Charlotte realized that what she had to say could be expressed, per- haps even conceived, only through ‘the analogy she chose. “It’s Just no}: Liz Simpson’s Good,” an account of a nine-year- old boy’s reaction to a severe in- jury his sister suffered accidentally while in his care, is interesting in conception but dull in execution. Her attempts to link his view of the accident with his relation to an aged uncle and the rest of his fam- ily to show thé fabric of his mind, is not wholly successful. One leaves the story with the feeling that the author has not succeeded in saying whatever it was of deep signifi- cance that she intended. Of Pat Gilmartin’s “Blood and the Moon” little can be said. It seems to be an exercise, in con- struction and conception, but its very. breadth and scope make it necessary for it to deal with too much that lies in the realm of wild sentiments and romantic charac- terization. Little of the work rings true. Nonetheless, a certain ex- citement and genuine feeling is felt in the author’s intent: highly valuable motivations when~ they are sufficiently disciplined. Richmond Lattimore’s “Greek Easter” is poetry of high excellence, with perhaps the exception of one or two lines. These are more than compensated for by phrases like this one: “ ...

The keynote of the invitation was come as you are, to quell the fear of having, to dress formally for a tea and to induce those just out of lab or hockey practice to come. The clubs were represented largely by presidents dressed in from the brave semi-nudity of the swim- ming club who appeared in bathing suits to compete with horh-rimmed glasses of Counterpoint. The representatives of College Theatre and the French club wore similar costumes but the effect was never- theless spectacular. The plan of the tea was to ac- quaint the freshmen with campus activities and give them some idea of the projects and work connected with a club, whether it was debat- ing, chorus or languages. The freshmen singled oyt or were cor- nered by a representative and, ply-| : ed with iced tea and cookies, found out what there wasn’t room for in Crawford to Talk On Tues.

Your Telephone Can Help Save ‘Money by Evelyn De Baryshe You don’t have to spend, $3.35 to get three suitcases and yourself from the station to your. hali. You'll be charged that if you’ve shipped your bags through on your ticket and if you use the Bryn Mawr Taxi Co., whose stand is at the station’s curb. But you can get the job done for $.45; including the price of a phone call, if you ask Bennett’s service, located at the: P.&W. sta- tion to pick you up, bags and all. And they’ll be there in three min- utes flat. Why is the Bryn Mawr Co. seemingly bent on losing business ? This is the way its owntr,.a Mr. Caccia, explained it to us: He holds a franchise from the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. for the right to use their larid as-a—-hack-stand. The P.R.R. also possesses a franchise for the sole right to haul baggage -at the railroad station. This, says Mr. Caccia, it has recently given, sold or leased to a new drayman. The baggage hauler, Caccia told us, charges a dollar per bag. If, the taxi service charges a lower price for baggage. than the ap-| pointed draymyan, it willbe in competition with him. If, said Mr. Caccia, the goes ‘into competition with the railroad’s drayman, the railroad will rescind the franchise they have given him. It’s clear as crystal, - But although we have not con- sulted the bearer of that delighi- ful title, the drayman, a gent in the ticket. office told us. the same thing. The incontrovertible fact is that it will cost you a dollar to trans- port any suitcase that has been waiting. at the station, although no extra charge will be made if you emerge from the local clutch ing it in your hot little hand. All these probings have given us a feeling that we have somehow become involved in the workings of higher finance; that someone will soon appear with a graph, showing vertical (or is it horizon- tal?) controls and lines of com- mand and boxes with people all doing the same thing to show that they are industry in action. Who controls what, anyway, and why can’t the taxi company move across the street? Answer: It’s probably too much trouble. And, if he did, the railroad might let the franchise to someone else, and ‘where would Mr. Caccia be then? We wouldn’t want to put Mr. Caccia where he would be then, nor for that matter, to any un- necessary trouble. On the other hand, there’s not much trouble to calling Bennett’s, and it saves a positively satisfying. amount of money. We’re sorry, Mr. Caccia, but we’re sure you'll understand.

Adele McVeagh’s “Perhaps” is a charming little verse, as is Jo Case’s “The Fable.” “Song to. the Impossible Him” has an ‘appeal- ing quality, and is serious enough to deserve to be judged by the more severe standards of poetry. It almost, but not quite, makes the grade; “Impossible Him” would re- quire further refinement and dis- tillation of feeling before it could be called true poetry. Almost everything in Counter- point deserves attention. If none of the students’ work is finished art, their efforts were still not made in vain.
