Bryn Mawr Sends | S. Glass To N.S.A. 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. Students To Hear The Rev. Galloway “Shaking Foundations” will be the subject of the sermon by the Rev. Mr. John T. Galloway, who will speak at the Bryn Mawr Chap- el'for the first time Sunday, Oct. 9, ‘at 7:15 p.m. ‘ The Rev. Mr. Galloway has taught homeletics (the art of preaching) at Princeton Seminary for the past, three years, and is pastor at the Wayne Presbyterian Church. He served as a liaison chaplain during the war, preaching to a con- gregation of other chaplains, at Fort Bragg. The Rev. Mr. Gallo- way has held pastorates in Ken- tucky and Baltimore. 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. This is only the first step in WBMC’s effort to be heard on ‘campus radios this year. Plans in- clude another cable from Denbigh to Merion, possibly within a month, and a complete check of equipment.

Tt Freshmen or upperclassmen, did you choose Bryn Mawr because of its proximity to the busy metrop- olis of Philadelphia? If so, or even if not, this article may help you to get to know the place and some of the things you can do there with or without a date. Culture in doses of all sizes is available at the end of our two- car-local. “In Fairmount Park, at the tip of Benjamin Franklin Park- way is the Philadelphia-Museum of Art, ranking with the finest in the world. Special exhibits, such as one last year of Van Gogh’s paint- ings, are frequent. The museum is opened daily from 9:30 to 5. A few blocks down the boule- vard, at 20th Street, is the Frank- lin Memorial and Institute, a mu- seum of science, One section of the museum is the Fels planetar- ium; the other features exhibits relating to science, industry, chem- istry, physics, astronomy, and the applied sciences. Admission to both is covered by a 60¢ fee. Hours are daily from 12-5 and Sat., 10-5. The building is closed on Mondays. Independence Hall For majors in history, govern- ment, or those just plain interest- ed, Independence Hall is one of the most renowned, sites .in the city. ‘Admission is free and too many of us wait till graduation to make the trip. There are many historical churches, ‘as well as homes of peo- ple like Edgar Allen Poe and Betsy Ross that are open to sightseér Two theaters, featuring shows on their way to Broadway, as well as the Academy of Music, are lo- cated in downtown Philadelphia. The Philadelphia orchestra plays regularly at the Academy. Unre- served seats, which, are acoustical- ly excellent are on sale before {the performance for $1.00. For you lucky people without a Friday aft- ernoon class, this is the way to bring in the weekend. Prices for reserved seats start at $1.50.

Browsing is fun. Then, for variety, Philly has a Zoo. Officially “The Zoological Gardens,” it is located at 34th Street and Girard Avenue. The Aquarium, north of Spring Garden St., has a wide assortment of fish and frogs. Observer by Molly Epstein, ’56 Ever want to go to the vilest flicks around? Suddenly get the urge to repair to Kelly’s for an hour? Or are you the type who knocks off by seeking a fourth for bridge at 2 A. M.? If you’re at Bryn Mawr, non- conformity’s the style and you can always find someone who feels as you do. “The work gets us all,” they say, even if they don’t agree with you, and since they too will soon be acting odd, they don’t con- demn_ you for it. When you’re in the “ivory tow- er,” you don’t have to exemplify it. Everyone there knows that you really do know better; because if you didn’t, you’d never have passed Geology or English Comp. But when—you’re--not~ in the rarefied academic atmosphere, you are com- pelled somehow to prove that you really do belong there. ~At home, people just don’t ex- pect idiosyncrasies other than those characterizing the inveterate pedant. They don’t understand that an 85 in History of Art and a striped shirt with polka-dotted shorts are not mutually exclusive. For those who “know,” it’s Hamlet or Julius Caesar, not Alaskan Westerns and spy thrillers. _Serious young ladies don’t waste their money on beer and their time on frivolous card games, not, that is, when they have to prove that they’re serious. Now that we’re back, let’s see Invasion From Mars in the ville . and, when we get back, how about a few quick hands of Old Maids? Dear Bryn Mawrtyrs There will be a suggestien box in the Inn. We welcome any suggestions, but please sign your name and hall. | The Inn Committee Seven Professors In 5 Departments Presented Grants Several professors from the col- lege have-been awarded grants for research both abroad and here at the college. 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. By angular correlation measurements of beta particles it is possible to tell What goes on. in ‘the nucleus during decay. Fulbrights, Other Fellowships Available For College Graduates In Many Fields A senior this year?
