Registration, Appointments Keep 185 Freshmen in Dither; Campus to Split Seams at Record Return of Upperclassmen A Haverford student walks through the M. Carey Thomas Memorial Library. Tour’s Spin About Library Circuits Square Doughnut If the kitchen is the heart of the home and the tea pantry is the heart of the dorm, the library must certainly be called the heart of a college campus. At Bryn Mawr this truism is less a figure of speech than a geographical fact. The massive, Gothic, grey-stoned building (covered with ivy, of course) stands directly, opposite Taylor Hall. Almost every build- ing on the campus can be located either to the right, to the left, in front of, or behind the library. De- spite its venerability, it is described most often, with a decided lack of both reverence and architectural accuracy, aS a Square doughnut— the Cloisters being the hole. Choice Imperative As you enter the main door you are forced—as you all too often are at college it seems—to make a choice. You can either mount the flight of stairs directly in front of you or go down one of the twin flights of stairs on either side. Since what goes up must come down and the converse is not nec- essarily true, go up first. The main reading room is the impressive sight which meets your eyes. Two stories high with tall Gothic windows and filled with rows of desks, this room is the second home of many Bryn Mawr students. Reserve Room Turning left down the aisle be- tween the desks, you arrive at the Reserve Room. Here, if you are lucky, you will find a copy of the book your history professor put on your reading list. Student watch- dogs preside-over—thisroom to enforce the rules of fair play (“But I was here first and the exam is tomorrow!”). Directly opposite is the Reference Room where ency- clopedias and dictionaries await perusal. If you retrace your steps and go down where you previously went _ up to the main reading room, you reach the stacks, or where the books are. Try not be too dis- concerted as you walk on the glass floor; with positive thinking, the black runners will lessen the effect of the 10 foot drop beneath your feet. The-shelves-of-books-are-on} three levels, with the check-out desk on the middle floor. As you follow the hall to the _ left of this desk and entrance to the stacks, you pass the periodical -|Collins, Patricia room where you may see professors and students, engrossed in nothing Klein, Deena more abstruse than the daily news- paper. Turning right as the hall does you pass several professors’ offices and department seminar rooms before you reach the Quita Woodward Room at the end of the corridor. You may wonder why so aha ing a corner is so thinly populated. The reason is simple: no studying is allowed there! Comfortable chairs and an assortment of light fiction invite you to an interval of frivolling. Next door is the West Wing where the beoks on art, architec- ture, and fine arts are kept along with the record collection. To fol- Continued on Page 6 Col. 1 New Class Hails . From All Points The class of 1964 is smaller than any in the previous three years, but the opening of the 76th Aca- demic year sees Bryn ‘Mawr still as crowded as ever. ‘fhe reason for this apparent numerical discrepan- cy is far less disheartening than the fact. Upper classmen have re- turned this year in record number; of the total expected, 94.6% have come back, as opposed to 89.8%, 92.8%, 88.0% and 87.38% in the previous four years. The 185 freshmen, who bring this year’s undergraduate popula- tion to 717, represent thirty two states and twelve foreign coun- tries.. Though 46.6% of the group comes from the middle Atlantic coast, students come from areas as remote as India, Egypt and Kenya. In at least one respect, the Class of ’64 differs from all its Bryn Mawr predecessors. It has been singled out by the Educational Testing Service for participation in a study to evaluate the College Board Entrance Examinations. The project was launched this morn- ing With the supplemental Aptitude tést taken in Taylor by all fresh- men. Official orientation and welcome for the class is now approximately Continued on Page 4, Col. 5 Dear—Class—of 1964, This is a time of launching— and _launchings are always excit- ing. They are also a litle fright- ening sometimes, fraught with the uncertainty of that which awaits. We, the Freshmen Week Commit- tee, hope that we can help maxi- mize the former feeling, and min- imize the.latter in this launching of your college careers. First impressions are so impor- tant, and just.as you hope to give people you meet a good impres- sion of what and who you are, we who know and love Bryn Mawr want so much for you to feel as we do about this unique place. ft is exciting to be in a totally new situation, to be open and eager to receive what it has to offer; it is equally exciting to share some- thing you value with another per- son. In a very real sense, this is what we want to do in these next few days, all too short for every- thing there is to give and to re- ceive but long enough to allow a ARE YOU INTERESTED in writing for the News? ‘Come to the News room in Goodhart, Tuesday at 5:30.

This is only but some day you may feel that in these first days at Bryn Mawr you grasped the es- sence of this place most complete- ly. It is safe to say that these days of Freshman Week will re- main among your most memorable at Bryn Mawr, for so many things begin. now. We hope that our spirit of giv- ing will reach you with the same sincere friendliness’ and interest that we felt during our time as freshmen. We are looking forward to getting to know all of you, as these days go by. It is a great honor to be chosen as a member of the Freshman Week Committee. Much thought and planning has gone into these days to make them enjoyable, to get things that must be accomplished done, to keep everyone busy without being run ragged, to allow opportunity for getting acquainted with both your own classmates and upperclass- men. Remain Open Perhaps the best advice anyone can offer to you at this wonder- fully hectic time is this: remain open. Don’t miss a single thing Bryn Mawr has to offer you, if you can help it. Never miss a chance ‘ talk to someone, for that chance ay not come under the same con- itions again. Remember that the way to learn is really through the exchange of thought and opinion, so don’t close yourself off too soon; too quickly you may miss some- thing immeasurably valuable. We, the upperclassmen, want to help you get settled and become acquainted with your new school and its people. One of the nicest things: about Bryn Mawr is the lack of distinction between fresh- men and upperclasmen. From the +very start, this is your school— and this is a wonderful feeling, indeed. We all know what it’s like to be a stranger in a new place; perhaps tHat’s the most im- portant reason for ‘our being here at this time—to help disperse the feeling of strangeness. Bryn Mawr is_not—a—frightening place; all it asks is your eagerness to learn, your sincerity and friendliness—and it will give you the infinite treasures it holds. Welcome Again It is a great joy to welcome you all here. We want this to be a happy, exciting time for you; we want to be your friends. I know I speak for all of us when I say that I hope each one of you enjoys Freshman Week as much as we have enjoyed preparing for and giving it to you, Rhoda Leven, Chairman Freshman Week Committee DO YOU DRAW?

The Issue that Can’t Bite Back Sometime during the next year, you will, indubitably, _ come tace to face with what is politely Known as an “issue”. ‘rhough actually not tar ditferent trom the familiar sort of question invoiving points of view and requiring a solution, tne campus issue involves a degree of urgency peculiar to it- seit. Aside trom its inevitable relevancy to student life, the nature of the campus issue would be hard to categorize. lt may be almost gamesome, like Barnard’s controversy of last spring regarding the administration’s stand on the Insuita- puity of bermuda Shorts tor classes; or it may, on tne other hand, be of more serious nature, as in the current Douglass College discussion on the culpability of the five student edi- . tors who tendered a lecture invitation to Premier Khrushchev. it may be purely local in scope, like Self-Gov and Undergrad’s query ot last semester on the legality of changing voting pro- ceedures mid-election, or it may, like the decision concerning participation in the movement supporting Southern sit-ins, be relevant to a national controversy. Unpredictable as is its nature and scope, the campus is- sue, so called, has at least two distinct characteristics which set it apart from both high school controversies and politi- cal and social questions encountered in pre-college days. Cer- tainly the most important of these is the fact that it must be faced. Unlike broader social issues which require opinion only when genuine response or commitment have been evoked, the campus issue, arising in a limited community and usually per- taining to policy decisions, virtually demands that everyone take some sort of stand. Whereas it is possible to avoid form- ing a point of view on a national or community matter des- tined to be resolved by a remote policy-making body, it is difficult to remain uninvolved when the policy under consider- ation directly affects or reflects your interests. The second distinguishing feature of the campus issue is its apparent remoteness from the familiar standards upon which earlier judgments have been based. Entering college, and particularly campus life, involves an abrupt derailment from previously unquestioned premises and prejudices. Ques- tions are examined from points of view heretofore undream- ed of; and the examination and discussion given to an issue by student body and faculty frequently leave it bereft of any apparent right and wrong. Even the right and left of an issue tend to lose whatever absolute quality they may have possess- _.._.ed-on_removal to a new setting, with the result that the poli- tical values of family and home may also lose their relevence in judging the campus issue. To further complicate matters, the campus issue, like most others, is seldom simple. Barnard’s dilemma of last spring involved more than fashion; it was, in the main, a question of whether or not the administration had the right to dictate student dress, and, by implication, interfere in stu- dent life. Douglass’ dispute involves more than a resolution of censure; it embraces thé whole conflict between a loosely- labeled academic freedom and the self-imposed obligation of Americans to avoid abetting Soviet propaganda efforts. Tak- _ing a stand on such-an-issue-means-more-than-deciding upon - action to meet a particular contingency; it means declaring adherence to a set of principles. This, considering the twin conditions of the campus issue—its tendency to demand as- sertion of a non-ambiguous point of view and the simultaneous removal of familiar values and prejudices—is far from an easy task and often entails a lot more concentration than you|* have heretofore devoted to impersonal and non-academic sub- jects. On the other hand, the campus issue is capable of com- plete simplicity, an attribute itself not without its difficulties. A m concerned only with a proceedure in a particular campus election is as difficult to attack with objectivity as the broader issue is with comprehension. It is, however, capable of eliciting a heated campus reaction and it may demand the same kind if not the same degree of concentration. Lest all this sound too gloomy for a welcome editorial, a Pe remembered that there is a particular beauty unique __ the campus issue is, in the final analysis, unimportant.

For some reason I remember the good things about it, the bad are all blended into one long attempt bo get to sleep. I think everyone should have the opportunity to live in Inn-like places. In the dorms there are only other students.who are all really pretty much alike when compared to a choice like we p {Inn-people had: delightful faculty members like Cambitiglou, Agnew, Markley, Mitchell, the Ayalas, Miss Lieb and Miss Lancaster. Where in the dorms can you get all that and the ten of us who lived there? Also, we had, if we so desired, the run of every dorm for meals, social activities and plain visiting. The Inn, between breaks for study and the attempts to sleep, was a big, happy shortie-pajamaed madhouse in a continuous search for food and more madness. The food part seemed to be indigenous to the whole Inn, for, when we all let go of our inhibitions, shed our clothes to study in\comfort and left doors ajar for ventilation, Mr. Mit- chell always seemed to have an unge to bake a cake and came trot- ting down the hall for “a wee cup of sugar” which is a cup all the same when we only had cubes... (from the Inn and the Beau and Belle, naturally). Walls Scaled Once we heard “things” on the fire escapes. It was only the slight- ly bubbly-headed guests of one of our academic Inn-mates, the rock- ing-chair-rocking, harp-music-lis- tening resident archaeologist, who were scaling the outside walls to avoid our notoriously curious eyes in the halls. The great thing about the Inn and such places.is that they are small, unguarded and uncared for. The Inn kitchen is a fascinating, forbidden and foreboding place (visiting of which necessitates missing a few of its elegant Main Line meals.) There’s great mud to squash between one’s toes halfway between the Inn and East House. Comfy Haven ' Miss Markley is great. Every- body should get to know her. She runs a. comfy little haven free of all reminders of academic commit- ments. But we had many evenings of study with her all the same: that of analyzing American cultur- al development, via TV; and its culinary development, via Sara Lee cakes, pies, cookies. She did all our rationalizing for us and convinced us better than we could ourselves that we needn’t study all the time. Last year ‘Mr. Wachinger lived with us; he was a young German professor who is now at Harvard . » where he is more likely not going to collide with frauleins in shorties or in soggy towels as they emerge from a bathroom opposite his room as he did every time he opened his door last year.

We are glad to have you with us and are sure that before long the strangeness that you now feel will bé\a thing of the past. Self Government at Bryn Mawr covers all corners of the college campus and all phases of campus life:--The Association was estab- lished in 1892 to place the responsi- bility for the conduct of the stu- dents entirely in their own hands. It was felt that girls of college age were mature enough to live in a community without outside super- vision. Over the years a sense'of honor and integrity have made this possible. . Individual Responsibility Self Government, thus based on an honor system, demands the ut- most where individual respect and responsibility are concerned. Each student is expected to govern her affairs, both academic and social, according to the mores of the col- lege community. Moreover, under such a system each student has the opportunity and the privilege to decide upon the composition of these same community guide posts. The rules and regulations laid down iby Self Government have stood the test of time in caring for the needs of all individuals. Should these at any time become obsolete, it is the student body that changes them. The guide posts of the commun- ity have been written down in the Self Government Constitution which you received this summer. Regulations concerning social and academic life are listed in this lit- tle blue book. These rules are to help you become asccustomed to the college way of life, and to in- sure that the college will function as a academic and social unit. Now that you are one of us you owe it to yourself and to the entire stu- dent body to learn these rules thor- oughly. Honor Expected The Academic Honor System makes each student responsible for her own honor as well as for the integrity of others. All work is to be done on an individual and hon- orable basis. One is expected to complete one’s work without re- sorting to any form of cheating which would thus weaken the stan- dard and. degrade the value of the Bryn Mawr College degree. The Social Honor System similarly ex- pects individual honor and integ- rity. For an act of cheating in the social honor system is just as harm- ful as it is in the Academic Honor System. This is your college and it is a college of which to be proud. Your duty is to keep this reputa- tion, at its best. There are three separate struc- tural constituents of Self Govern- ment. Each is equally important. One centers in the halls. Each hall has a Hail President who sits on the Advisory Board of Self Govern- ment. This Board meets weekly to consider infractions against the Honor system, and to discuss cam- pus problems. In each hall there is also a Vice-President who is not only a deputy of Self Government but also the Hall President’s right hand man. Permissioi Givers, chosen by the Hall President, are students who have demonstrated a sound knowledge of Self Govern- _}ment rules, a feeling for the eam- ‘pus, integrity, and who are capable are indispensable.

Organization Leaders Explain Plans of Year Undergrad Head Revegqls Plans by Betsy Frantz, ’61, President Undergraduate Association I am happy ‘to have this oppor- tunity to expound on some of the projects planned by the Undergrad- uate Association for the coming academic » year. We anticipate another busy and fruitful year for the Association and hope to have the support of each of you, as an _ ipso facto member. Throughout our work we shall be concerned with the implementa- tion of the reorganization of-under- graduate activities and associa- tions which was enacted last year. We shall be the first group to carry through a full year’s program within the framework of the new structure, so we shall be watchful for omissions or necessary revi- sions. A major project for Undergrad this fall will be an evaluation of the election system on the Bryn Mawr campus. In particular we shall be considering methods of nomination other than the straw balloting which we currently em- ploy. Should an alternate means be deemed advisable we shail ask the Legislature tto consider such a change. The Activities Board of the As- sociation is planning to increase the social activities of the campus. We hope to initiate informa] open houses in Goodhart on Friday evenings. Last year the reorganization plan authorized the Executive Board to use Common Treasury funds to bring an eminent guest to the campus for several days. In the spring the oard _ invited Robert Frost who spent two days at Bryn Mawr, during which time he read some of his poetry and met informally with groups of students. We shall be continuing this program this year, and hope to be able to sponsor several such speakers. In all of our work this year, we shall welcome freshman _partici- pation. You will be electing tem- porary class representatives to Undergrad, who will help to keep — you informed of the activities of the Association. We hope that you wil] always feel free to offer suggestions to them or to your hall reps to Undergrad. We furth- er encourage you to attend the open meetings of the Boards, that you may become well acquainted with the work of the Association. adept at understanding and apply- ing the Self Government rules. Use the Permission Givers, ask them questions—they can be of great aid. Finally in each hall, and of no less importance, are the students—you! ‘You too must learn the rules and regulations, understand them, use them and believe in them, for they are Bryn Mawr. ~* There is a second unit—the Ex- ecutive Board (which also meets weekly). This is comprised of col- lege elected officers, the President (myself), the ‘Vice-President (B. J.

Speakers will discuss timely issues with an informal question period to follow. ‘A number of times dur- ing the year there will be “big speakers,” and in the spring, Al- liance, Interfaith and League will sponsor an intercollegiate confer- ence with several’ speakers and panels expanding a single theme.

To help in this direction, we have ar- ranged a program of events and Work and Humor Make Up News’ Offer to Reporters by Kristine Gilmartin, Copy Editor The slogan in my home town is “Tf you read the News, you know!” In the case of the Bryn Mawr College News an amplification might be made: “If you write for the News you really know.” Being a News reporter has many advantages to be weighed against the inflexible irritant of the week- ly deadline for the article you haven’t even thought about yet. Your name on the masthead and an occasional byline give you a cer- tain stature in the college not to be achieved in any other way. In addition, the gossip possibilities are unlimited. News staff members know what administration, faculty, and stu- dents are going to do almost be- fore they do and certainly before most of the college does. Not mere trifling social gossip either, tasty as that may be, but genuine scoops on what exciting lecturers are coming and which Bryn Mawr- ters have recently won fellowships. Besides the weekly article, being a News reporter entails a “work night” once each week when proof- reading and headline composing magically get done in the midst of pistachio ice cream cones and the ubiquitous coffee. The nearness of the Soda Fountain is a tremendous boon to News writers and may certainly be counted as one of the fringe benefits of working for the paper. “Work night,” however, is really a misnomer, for it is the most de- lightful of excuses for putting off studying. News staff and board members are some of the spright- lier gals around the college, even at the midnight before press date, and their witty and- frantic com- pany makes even an article listing the latest gifts to the college pro- duce a ~-chuckle (However comma at about time of the first five hyphen year plan comma... .)

League’s Program Includes Projects For Volunteer Social Service In Area projects within whose scope we know you will each find a way to exercise YOUR particular interests. Don’t let those interests stagnate! Become - an active ‘member in League and its programs. Their success depends on YOU. If you can recall from your freshman _ handbook, one of League’s main phases is social ser- vice to the community, on a vol- unteer basis in such institutions as mental hospitals, orphanages, and reform schools where you work di- rectly with the patients. You will have an opportunity to meet with the heads of the various projects, learn more about the actual work in each and plan your participa- tion at the League tea. Watch for announcements of the tea and DO COME. Beyond the work in the projects, League is planning a very inter- esting. schedule of speakers, pan- els, field trips, and a conference. For those who have an interest in someday having a career in so- cial work and would like to put this interest to a test, we are ar- ranging a program whereby they meet with people in the field and even plan for summer employment. Another new aspect of League this year will be a special film pro- gram. For a very minimal fee, you will be able to enjoy many ex- cellent films, the proceeds of which will be used for a number of charitable purposes. We wish you a very pleasant year and look forward to seeing you ail at the League. | Interfaith President Names Speakers, Announces Modified Chapel Program % by Kathleen Livezey President of Interfaith The Interfaith Association offers opportunities for girls of various backgrounds and beliefs to share and learn from one another in dis- cussions, lectures, and worship ser- vices. Interfaith events for this year will be highlighted by the ad- dition of two new programs: 1) a once-a-month lecture series of-per- sons outstanding in their own fields speaking on some aspect of religi- ous faith, and 2) Sunday evening meetings for silent worship in the Music Room of Goodhart. The various study groups on cam- pus—Young Friends, Jewish Study Group, Catholic Discussion Group, and Student Christian Movement— will join with Interfaith in present- ing the outstanding monthly speak- ers. Dr. Paul Tillich, a noted Protestant theologian and Pro fessor at Harvard University will be the first of these speakers, appearing in Goodhart auditorium on October 21st. Will Herberg, pro- fessor of sociology, philosephy and theology at Drew Seminary, and formerly associated with the labor movement, will be the featured Goodhart speaker for November. Silent Worship Attendance at the half an hour period for silent worship on Sunday evenings at 7:15 pm. is voluntary. The meetings are open to all stu- dents and faculty interested in par- ticipating ‘in community worship and meditation. Mrs. Walter’ K. Michels, professor of Latin and ad- visor to the Interfaith Association will open the first period of silence this Sunday evening, October 2, speaking on,the religious. heritage of Bryn Mawr College and the na- ture of silent worship. Local Cooperation ¢ Other facets of Interfaith activi- ties include cooperation with local churches and synagogues. Lists of the names and addresses of the nearest places of worship and the name of the upperclassmen escort- ing freshmen to the various church- es this Sunday morning are posted on each of the dorm bulletin boards. Interfaith has also been respon- sible for arranging seating and hos- pistality for Jewish students in Reform and Conservative temples in the area for Friday night’s Kol Nidre service. Lectures. and Discussion -| Opportunity for lectures . and open discussion on any subject from “Zen Buddhism” to “civil rights” is presented every Tuesday afternoon at 5:00 in the Interfaith discussion meeting in Cartref Reading and Meditation Room This room pos- sesses an excellent and growing collection of books concerning many aspects of religion and is open daily from 9-5 for quiet time and browsing in the library We hope that these plans will appeal to your interests. We are looking forward to seeing you at the Sunday evening meeting and the Tuesday afternoon discussion ‘and to working with you, the class of 64, this fall. Arts Council Head Explains Function Of Organization, Plans Of New Year by Betsy Levering, President Arts Council Arts Council is a comparatively new organization, dating back lit- tle more than ‘five years; so new, in fact, that it was only last year that Arts (Council was admitted to the Executive Board of Undergrad, marking it as a major campus or- ganization. Most other clubs and councils on campus (boast: a longer history, an honorable boast because it testifies to a lengthy and sustain- ed interest in the activities they A. A. Welcomes Even ‘Uncoordinated’ To Join In Hockey, Lacrosse, Bridge by Marjorie McHenry, President Athletic Association To an incoming freshman, the ‘name of the Athletic Association undoubtedly suggests pictures of wildly athletic and muscle-bound females, clad in rugged gym tunics and hockey shoes, galloping down the hockey field, leaping across the tennis court or bouncing over the basketball floor. However — not necessarily so — for this is only half the picture (and a somewhat exaggerated one at that!). While such figures may certainly be found at Bryn Mawr, taking part in the activities of the Athletic As- sociation, its activities include many other areas of campus life Which might not be so emphatically term- ed ‘athletic’ and confined to the “eoordinated” individuals among the student body. As the handbook says, the A. A. “through its board and council, promotes and encourages athletic and recreational activities on cam- |pus.” The athletic and the recrea-|Applebee* Barn and Rhoads Farm tional, then, cover fairly wide areas of campus life and the A. A. has always attempted to include many people interested in many types of things in its functions. There are 294213: first of all the sports — hockey, tennis, swimming, volleyball, la- crosse, etc. — most of which have varsity teams. Going out for these teams is not nearly as formidable a procedure as it may seem; often a beginner in a sport has found herself_on-a_team,-and-all-who-are even remotely interested in the sports are urged to give them a try. The fun (and exercise!) which they provide are undoubtedly worth the effort, and also at the end of the year awards are given for the points accumulated. People with not as vigorous tastes can find themselves inter- ested in one of the several clubs which come under the jurisdiction of A.A.—the Outing Club, which often takes ski or bicycle trips with other colleges (mens’), and the Synchronized Swimming Club, which has come a long way in or- ganization in the past few years, as has the Dance Club with modern dance. Use can also be made of for parties and picnics; these are under control of the Athlétic As-| sociation and can be used almost foster. The lively interest in the antic and plastic arts which brought Arts Council into being must be regarded as something new. Or rather, interest in the arts is not new, but the widespread and strong interest now found among college students is, What- ever the reason for this—the Beat- niks, the H-bomb, the rise of the European artist-philosopher—Arts ‘Council happily finds that it scarce- ly need propagandize for the arts at all; its audience is ready-made. And it’s sure that a high and ris- ing interest makes an _ exciting climate for an organization. ‘ Arts Council now’has the prob- lem, however, of preventing itself from becoming too much of an organization. It was formed by a group of students who had no claim to official status except a collective, vigorous interest. This handful of students who consti- tuted themselves the Arts Council asked for a little money—a very little — from Undergrad, and so came under its protection. Now Arts Council is independent, has a college-elected president and for- mal hall representatives. If its problem once was to forge an or- ganization out of a hodge-podge of active people, its problem now is to keep from being stifled by its own organization: Like any or- ganization, Arts Council runs the risk of committing suicide, even while a great deal of interest ex- ists outside the organization itself, by formalization and a static mem- bership. The chief countermeasure, of course, is open membership, This means, in practice, that anyone who attends meetings—and anyone }+may—who shows a-continuous-in-- terest and is willing to make an poster at least. is sidered an active and voting mem- OCCASIONA. anytime by any students, just to Continued on Page 4, Col. 4. ber, irrespective of whether she ‘was elected to anything. Serres cee Page Four THE COLLEGE NEWS Saturday, October 1, 1960 Haverford’s Courses, Culture Men Brighten Brun Mawn’s Environment In the mind of man, Bryn Mawr has long been classified as a women’s college, yet a few random campus scenes may cause one to question this time-worn belief. Chatting on dorm steps, sitting on. lawn blankets, studying in library seats, taking notes at classroom desks are men, some bearded, some dungareed, some in almost ivy-league dress. They ar- rive in cars, on skooters and bikes; many even walk; and then there’s the hearse .. . Are they Bryn Mawr day “students ? Well, not quite (there seem to be even more of them around after dark). Ac- tually, these characters are “Hav- erford Men.” They reside on a small, busy campus about a mile from Bryn Mawr, a twenty or thirty minute walk under normal conditions, but ’tis rumored that it can be done in ten to fifteen when necessary. The Haverford campus is aes- thetically pleasing as well as cul- _turally generous. Its quadrangle of principle dormitories is flanked | by spreading foliage. Haverford further boasts an active and tal- ented drama club, an excellent singing group, a radio station, and a cricket team. In spring, student interest is divided between cricket and the traditional, if slightly symbolic, sport of Maypole theft. Football is not emphasized as much as either of these activities. Bryn Mawr and Haverford have take courses at Haverford if the course is unavailable at Bryn Mawr, if the home classes cannot fit into her schedule, or if she can think up some other valid-sound- ing excuse. Haverford enjoys the same privileges on our campus. In addition, we share the benefit of concerts and visiting lecturers and some clubs combine their ac- tivities, too: for example, the two drama groups join to present three major annual productions, and language clubs. often-meet~togeth- er. On another level, Haverford has always been “the traditional date” for a Bryn Mawr girl—to borrow a phrase from a magazine —and, since Haverford dorms are open to women in the evening, the study date is another important local tradition. Thus, though a girls’ school on the surface, Bryn Mawr gains both socially and academically from her neighbor to the south. Bureau Hunts Student Jobs, Facilitates Allowance-padding Although almost every Bryn Mawrter is interested in increasing the amount of mon- ey she has available for the niceties and necessities of college life, the difficulties of job hunting in a new community might seem to preclude thé possibility of allow- ance padding. Actually, this is hardly the case. (Miss Susan iL. Blake, and the Bur- eau of Recommendations are al- ways happy to help girls looking for part timé or temporary em- ployment. The office of the Bureau is located in the basement of Tay- lor Hall and can be reached by us- ing the steps inside the building at the corner near Denbigh Hall. Though there are not very many permanent part time jobs available through the Bureau, there are many temporary ones.

(This is not to imply that 9 to 5 isn’t suf- ficient choice of time for washing. It’s: just that 700 students, all of whom change their socks daily, are enough to keep 2 dozen machines chugging away at top speed with nary a second’s rest between cy- cles.) There are washing machines in Merion, Pem and Rock basements, all available 7 days per week. The power goes off at 5 whether the machines are ful] or not, so, since a soapy wash is hard ‘to carry and doesn’t dry very fast, it is advis- start your load\no later :25.-The-price is 25¢ for 9 clothes, but a scale is not @ necessary washday de- Nine f F cy i the contents of one laundry bag— irrespective of the interval between washdays or superficial estimation of the capacity of the bag. Before loading a machine, it is absolutely necessary to flip the lid up and down a few times, for should the previous cycle not be completed, not only may a quarter be lost, but even worse, your bun- dle of clothes may be dried with- out ever having been washed! After flipping the lid, insert clothes “fluffily” (as per direc- tions) and*turn on machine. Leave laundry bag (or pillowcase) on top of the machine, so, should you fail to return at the exact moment the cycle is completed, some harried soul may think to throw the major- ity of your clothes into the bag in- stead of onto the newspaper-cov- ered table or floor. Take soap with you when you leave. Return to collect clean, or rath- er, washed, clothes after 45 min- utes of browsing in the bookshop. Smile as you lift the heavy bag, and trudge to your room, stopping at intervals to recover the sock and two pieces of underwear which these again—by hand, of course— and then relax—no more laundry for another week! pounds of clothes equals invariably land in the mud.

Naturally there is the library which has, aside from the main reading room, the reference and reserve book rooms, a variety of other more intriguing corners, i. e., the Periodical Room, the Art Study Room, the West Wing, Quita Wood- ward Room (best chairs on campus, soft, tranquillizing; nicest variety of attention-diverting books, and, luckily, to sooth guilty consciences —no studying allowed) and some of the department conference rooms. Reading Places Aside from M. Commie Tharus, there are at least four other strict- ly reading-places on campus; Dal- ton’s math and psych libraries; Park’s chemistry and bio libraries, (the bio building also has a nice lounge); and Cartref, across the street from Dalton has an Inter- faith reading room for purposes of meditation, relaxation and escape. Goodhart Unlimited And then there is Goodhart; it has many rooms (some not yet dis- covered). which when not in use for lectures, rehearsals, and meet- ings, are perfect for almost any- thing; those already charted are the Music Room, the Common Room, the Roost, the Undergradu- ate Room (and the soda fountain.) Some of these are too good for studying, but great for napping. Finally, there are the Ville, Hav- erford and your own dorm (which how should be empty) where one is_sure-to-find-a-niche to suitone’s every whim. Bryn Mawr is a great place for varieties, be it in people, projects, moods, or the rooms to opes, and typing papers are among the most common jobs, but by far the biggest demand for student em- ployees comes from the family- raising populations. of nearby com- mitnities. The Bureau receives dozens of calls each day from parents re- questing student baby sitters; the student may pick her evenings or week’s employment any day the Bureau is open. Hours for picking up babysitting assignments ~ ares 11:00 to 1:00 and 2:00 to 5:00 Mon- day through Thursday; from 9:00 on Fridays, and on Saturday morn- ings. Other temporary positions are announced on the bulletin board outside the Bureau, on the black- board just at the foot of the stairs, and on mimeographed lists posted prominently in each hall. Anyone wishing to have her name on file for any type of work can re- quest a form from:éMiss Blake indicating job preferences and qual- ifications. Although summer may seem ‘far away and senior year even farther, the Bureau of Recommendations also has excellent facilities for placing students in summer jobs, in camps, hotels, or with families; and for helping seniors with post graduation plans. A. A. Plans Continued from Page 3, Col. 4 go there and relax, or as a place to have parties or any type of ga- thering. Working through the Council (composed of representatives to the A. A. from the different halls and the four classes) and the Board (the officers of the organi- zation), the Athletic Association tries to poke its fingers into many other pies on campus. It’s really a very flexible organization, and is apt to promote anything from bridge tournaments to baseball games with Haverford. In the past A. A. has shown movies, sponsored square dances, held playdays with several other colleges in the area, organized inter-hall and inter-class games in the different sports, and has always opened the gym on Sun- day afternoons for people who want to use the facilities. It is very much hoped that these activities will con- tinue and expand this year, for it seems that there are almost unlim- ited opportunities for things to be done which would be fun for many people. The Board and/or Council will be meeting almost every week at an established time, and it would be wonderful for anyone with sug- gestions or ideas to come; hall _re- presentatives also stand for the purpose of carrying ideas to the A.

Toward this end we have selected the Aug- ust College Issue for examination, believing, despite the protestations of a few who insist that all their friends look as pictured, that we. can point out certain differences between dife at Bryn Mawr and that depicted on jthe glossy pages. This year’s College Issue does manage to go beyond the classic image of the bermuda-shorted co- ed artfully arranged in her dormi- tory room with three record albums neatly tacked to the rug; it, instead, introduces a note of harsh realism by moving its setting to the library. Here, however, the first major dis- crepancy arises; it must be pointed out, if sadly, that all books in the M: Carey Thomas Memorial Library are not leather bound. The Outfit Dazzles Proceeding to the subject of dress, wé come first to the photog- rapher’s favorite—the outfit. Those depicted are colorful: orange, pur- ple, electric blue plaids. If it is hypothetically assumed that a girl buys-three new outfits in three col- ors, it must then be safe to deduce that, for variety’s sake she will eventually try to mix them up. Here it must be noted that Bryn Mawrters are not often seen in orange skirt and purple vest, or purple skirt and electric blue paid sweater But this, of course, is all hypothetical. Sweaters Still Shaggy Some of the more direct pro- nouncements on college mores are less startling and simply require interpretation to apply to Bryn Mawr life. For instance the edict’ that “bigness, looseness. . . and shagginess” are ‘vital concomit- ants of this year’s sweaters sim- ply means that ‘+hand-me-downs from doting older brothers will be as prevalent as ever, while notice that full length evening gowns have returned for “big parties” seems, at least to our translators, best ex- plained by acceptance of the decline and fall of the “big party” so defin- ed on the Bryn Mawr scene.

Interviews, examinations, fittings, course-selection, and fur- niture buying have been wonder- ously fitted into the two and a half days of freshman week. Total introduction-to life at Bryn Mawr will not, however, be completed until Monday night. At that time, after the first day of classes, will come the somewhat spectacular first exposure-to the Bryn Mawr tradition proper. This, Parade Night, will herald the beginning of the new semester and launch the year’s’ rivalry between the fresh- men and their traditional antago- nists, the sophomore class. “Inn” Induces Continued from Page 2, Col. 3 tal, I think we all gained from our “elegant living” experience in one of the Main Line’s best inns: we got to kow other people very - member a commitment, a promise WN ce o follow a life which must be a credit to Bryn Mawr College. ‘Once ee to Bryn : Bo few eee will expl well, “we were on our own to a greater degree than anyone else at school, we had no fire ~ alarms;-we— entertained the faculty and one of us even learned to “iron a shirt _.. like an angel” for ‘Mr. witchall % ? a @ ¥ Cosmopolitan Dt Saturday, October 1, 1960 THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Five When their raft’s mooring line parts, two “muskie” fishermen desperately fight the current to reach the shore of the river...

THE RIGHT TASTE BECAUSE © 1960, BROWN & WILLIAMSON TOBACCO CORP. Tea Pot, Sterling or Tin-plate, Proves Bonanza, Both Academic and Social At Bryn Mawy the tea set is virtu- allyan_institution. Its long usage and manifest utility have entrench- ed its status as standard operating equipment and made its presence on mantle or coffee table as de rig- eur as the Harvard pennant in a Bates bedspread ad. Despite its ubiquity the tea set has no standard form; it may be a sterling silver heirloom, a sou- venior from. Chinatown, a long-dis- carded family samovar, or Wool- worth’s 79-cent special pre-college purchase. Generally considered by sub-freshmen a rather anomolous inclusion to a list of college basics, it invariably becomes, in its four years on and off the mantle, irre- trievably bound up- with life, both extra-curricular and academic, at Bryn Mawr. Through long nights of two-fin- gered typing and take-home quiz- zes the contents of a tea pot (be it instant coffee or onion soup) usual- ly proves the difference between triumphal completion of task or pre-dawn collapse. On the other hand, for a p.m. study ‘break,.a surprise birthday party, or an in- formal téte & téte with a favorite professor, the set and the brew it holds become the means of enter- taining and the ostensible raison détre of the party. Happily enough, a pot of tea is an automatic excuse for a gather- ing and generally the inspiration for good conversation When feel-|. ings are low there is no better balm for the spirit than a full ket- tle and the company it attracts; when spirits are high nothing is quite as fitting as to call in half the dorm to celebrate over tea, cookies, donuts, and/or crackers. By the end of this year even the most ardent supporters of Coca- Cola will indubitably have become veteran tea drinkers and will have learned to wield with aplomb hot kettle, china pot and tea strainer; they will be able to detect at a sip the differences between Darjeeling and Jasmine, Lapsang Souclfong and Formosa Oolong, Lipton and Salada. Lastly, and most surpris- ing to themselves, they will find that pouring a cup of tea comes to mind immediately as standard op- erating procedure in the face of virtually every contingency. B. M.C. Joins Other Colleges For New Experimental Tests The Experimental Division _of the Educational Testing Services which administers the Standard College” Board Examinations has asked Bryn ‘Mawr for its cooper- ation in a new project. The aim of the experimental program is to ‘Fine’ Tradition Finds Quorum Missing To the person unfamiliar with the most controversial of all Bryn Mawr traditions, the required and fined meeting, an explanation there- of may be in order. Just as its etymological derivation suggests, the required and fined meeting de- notes the method which has proved reasonably successful in bringing Bryn Mawrters out en masse to class meetings The frequency with which these meetings are held is said to have made it virtually un- necessary to accomplish anything Social life at Bryn Mawr differs from that of many other residential colleges because it is located with- in a half hour’s ride from a good-sized city. Students, not dependent on college-sponsored ac- tivities, can easily avail themselves iof the entertainment opportunities of Philadelphia. A primary duty of every fresh- man is to reserve a couple of free . Saturdays for an unguided tour of ~ the city. It is easy to navigate in Philadelphia because the streets are numbered. Take the local into town and get off either at 30th street or Suburban station, which is at 16th street. From there take a Market Street bus down to 4th St .and Independence Hall; be sure to see the Betsy Ross house and other local landmarks.

A sophomore who has hopes of becoming a Calculus major has an- nounced that if 175 students are absent from each meeting the soph- omore class collects roughly eighty- eight dollars (at 50 cents per head) per meeting “With money like this,” she declared, “we won’t need to fear excessive tuition rises. We’ll just establish a fund.” The primary discussion topic of each meeting is, generally, whether or not those present can vote them- selves a quorum. Since this ques- tion has never been successfully resolved, meetings for the purpose of voting on whether or not re- quired and fined meetings should be continued have been continually postponed. The prospect for this year, according to informed sourc- es, is that in the twenty minutes between 1:30 and 1:50 they will still abound, taking precedence over bridge and pounce (two Bryn Mawr sports) and offering a pleasant in- terim for organized confusion and letter writing. help develop a more successful and useful aptitude test for pre- freshmen. The weakness of the present testing system is not that it does not divid@students among the ap- propriate universities but that it does not discriminate very accur- ately among students in the high- est 100 or 150 points range, It is, therefore, not a good test of how students will produce after they get to college. For example, Miss Geffcken pointed out, stu- dents who receive scores in the high 700s on the S.A.T.’s often graduate in the middle of their class. Predictions of how well a student actually will perform can in no way ibe made from the en- trance exams. The first step in the experiment was the special aptitude test ad- ministered to all freshmen on Sat- urday morning, October 1, for two and a half hours. The same test will be given at eight other col- leges also chosen to participate in this program. The names of the other schools have not been disclos- ed but they are all resentative institutions of a similar nature and academic level as Bryn Mawr. The test itself is a general apti- tude test similar to the present exam. “A follow-up program will con- tinue for at least the first year.
