An Abused Privilege

Bryn Mawr is fortunate in having a well-stocked library,
open stacks and a free system of signing out books. Some

- students evidently consider it their right to abuse these priv-

ileges. Books have been disappearing from the library, un-
signed “for; books have been kept far over their time limit.
Students have been monopolizing more than their share of
reserve room books. Students have been taking the reserve
books back to their halls. aa

None of these abuses is a drastic crime in itself, but the
total of small infringements is a definite im osition on the
Bryn Mawr functions on-tnie
principle of honor. We have an academic honor system and
a social honor system. . Should this principle dissolve just be-
cause it is not specifically defined in relation to the library ?
Is payment of fines all that is needed as retribution for illegal
use of the library’s books? ;

The regulations of the library are exact and well,publi-
cized. There is a good reason for every rule. It is inexcus-
able to violate them on the grounds of ignorance.

Simple consideration for other people should be enough
to keep anyone from thoughtless misuse of common property.
Only 100 per cent cooperation can stop the numerous small
abuses of the library. Everyone is probably guilty to some
degree and it is the accumulation of everyone’s petty negli-
gence that ruins a public convenience.

could sample them if they had not
been so fortunate as to have done
so already. Mr. Sweigart did con-
fide to his guests, as fellow mem-
bers of the Pillsbury family, that
after three years, biscuits ceased
to tempt him. The Brothers K
kommented that that was under-
standable, but that they did not
have the opportunity to sample
Pillsbury’s biscuits as often as he.
Mr. Sweigart departed and finally
did come through with a rather
generous selection of biscuits,
cookies and ROLLS. (Anybody
have an oven?) They were received
with gratitude, and fond farewells
were said.

The president of the Chamber
of Commerce returned, and the
Brothers K found themselves in the
middle of Downingtown with a
large box of Pillsbury Products,
high heels and sore feet—and no

by Theodora Stillwell ’59

“The kelpy has risen.” Alas,
“what?” is now the reaction to this
awesome statement. The kelpy, far
from rising, has sunk, and a
shameful apathy veils its passing.
Yet, under the impressive title of
“Private Research in Lieu of °As-

|signed Reading,” an attempt should

be made to observe and aid the new
renaissance of the kelpy. For it
shall rise, as in the Romantic past,
described by Scott, and though its
coming is now heralded by shallow
and sadly flippant modern wits who
satirically chant.

“The kelpy has risen, from the

bottom of the bowl,

His jaws are -dripping with

blood and with ghoul,”
there shall be a time when the
true sonorous ring of,

“The kelpie has risen. from the

fathomless pool,

He has lighted his candle of

death and of dool.. .”,
shall leap from the vacant brains
of spring heliophiles. Perhaps only
the emptier minds should continue
with,

“Look Father, look, and you

will laugh to see,

How he gapes and glares with

his eyes on thee.”

Should not the kelpy be sought
and studied? Let us first examine
him. rationally; if this does nat
prove sufficient, we will undertake
‘the search for its reality and es-
sence with our souls.

The “kelpy exists for us, in a
moment of time only and not in a
continuum, for we cannot know,
either rationally or empirically, his
origin or destinations. Hume’s
problem confronts us, and, like
Descartes, we stand baffled before
the illusory sensory perception, a
transient form. Can we, Spinoza-
like, establish a connection bet-
ween ourselves and this creature
who confronts us? Is this a part
of an infinite immanent and yet
transcendent unity, or, as it were,
“oneness,” of which we are, our-
selves, but a momentary and shift-
ing facet, or expression? We do
not know.

But is it necessary to establish
rationally the nature of the being:
kelpy? May he not rather be an
emotional force, risen from the
bottomless well of the mind (and
the well of the mind is surely truth-
ful, e.g. “Truth lives in the bot-
tom of a well”). The candle would
indicate then, a_ spiritual force,

of the body into a vengeful, driving
power of “death and of dool.”

only a perfunctory story of a work
that is immense in its scope and
significance for the vacant brain.
The importance of the kelpy tan-
not and should not be underesti-
mated, and a new enthusiasm for,
and study of, this kelpy is essen-
tial to the organically unified mod-
ern conception of education. To
what great heights may not Bryn

the rising shoulders of the kelpy?

Campus Campaign
In Honor of Spring

In ‘honor of the advent of

. SPRING, Undergrad is sponsoring

a campaign to make the campus
appéar clean and beautiful. Stu-

| dents are-urged to assist this drive

by. complying with three admoni-
tions,

First, in deference to the tender,
green shoots which have just made
their appearance, it is hoped that
students will refrain from trampl-
ing on the grass and otherwise
harming their growth.

Second, it is requested that
cigarette stubs be thrown in the
containers provided for their dis-
posal. These trash cans are located
in the main halls of Taylor and
outside the Library, and soon will
be placed in the areas of Dalton
and Park as-well: There should be
no excuse for carelessly tossing a
cigarette away. Filter tips in par-
ticular blot the landscape, since
their composition will not readily
deteriorate.
| Third, students are _ reminded
that posters should not be placed
on the outer doors of campus
buildings, where they: harm the
woodwork as well as detract from
the charm of the college.

 

Nationalism Cited
As Peril To Reds

“The (Future of Communism”
was the topic for discussion Mon-
day night at Current Events. Mr.
Robert A. Rupen, Assistant Pro-
fessor of Political Science was the
speaker.

The recent revolts in the Russian
satellites have led to much specula-
tion as to what the future of Com-
munism might be. Mr. Rupen tried
to point out not only the problems
faced by Russia in this matter,
but also other threats to the suc-
cess of the Communist regime.

In his opinion, Nationalism to-
day represents the basic threat to
Communism. Nationalism not only
is causing unrest in the satellite
countries, but also in Russia itself.
“One of Russia’s basic problems is
the fact that there is far more feel-
ing for the land, the country ...
than for the doctrine itself.”

Other Possibilities

Mr, Rupen brought in the rela-
tionships of other countries that
have been important in recent de-
velopments; he discussed their
possibilities for the future. The
main point, he said, was the econ-
omic importance of the various
states, and whether it contributed
to or detracted from Russia’s fu-
ture hopes. ;

He brought out a few points. on
the revolts themselves. It is inter-
esting to note that the students
one hears~so much about today
were not primarily opposed to the
Communist regime; they only won-
dered about other forms of govern-
ment. They were curious to find
out about things denied them in
their Communist education.

In summary, Mr. Rupen gave
what he thought to be the factors
favorable to the United States,
those that are definitely unfavor-
able, and things about which there
is question.
