League’s activities fall into two categories: those directly limited to the college community (Maids and Porters, United Service Fund) and those which extend beyond the boundaries of the campus (Em- breyville, Sleighton Farms, week- end work-camps). One of the main jobs of the board is organization and coordination of these activi- ties, The center of the organization is the board, which in my opinion should act as a cohesive and in- formed receptor and disseminator of ideas and activities. It is im- perative that the hall reps relay the substance of the meetings back to the halls. .Perhaps-this could be Candidates for League League Slate: Tina Souretis, Anita Dopico, Lovise Wein- garten, and Pixie Schieffelin. & e Louise Weingarten Activities: Freshman Year: considered in an urban, national and international scope.

Granted:that per- sonal tastes are a governing fac- tor, I think that much of the apa- thy towards sports is due to the fact that people often close their minds to them from the start of their college career.

I would like to have. more peo- ple become interested in the sports that are now offered, and I would like to broaden the scope of A.

I think of the role of League, con- ventionally defined as the volun- teer social service organization on campus, as flexible. The ideas of Bryn (Mawr students and the needs of contemporary society should be taken into considera- tion in formulating a program for League. Through work projects League provides an ~ opportunity for students to see and learn about institutions of society in opera- tion as well as give aid, physical- ly, financially, and spiritually, to needy elements in the community. Equally important is the recent policy of providing information through lectures and movies con- cerning the problems of society which we are not able to directly aid, such as urbanization and ju- venile delinquency.

As coordinator of the various volunteer social services offered to the community by Bryn Mawr students (ranging from clothing and fund drives to work in various kinds of hospitals and weekend’ work camps in slum areas), League is the organization through which students May «ac- tively channel their interests in social work, thus becoming further aware of the problems it deals with and of both the difficulties and re- wards it entails.

No longer does it need to expand ac- tivities such as concerts, poetry readings, tickeb-agency, ete. but it needs to pursue these activities with a definite consideration of artistic merit. Whether Arts Council wants to be a catch-all or humble subscriber to any presen- tation vaguely artistic or revealing and, in an omniverous atmosphere, to present anything to the rest of the college remains a matter for discussion among its,members.
