Wimslow, is giving a concert with the Bryn Mawr Chorus in Goodhart Hall this Saturday evening. (Mr. Goodale and Mr. Winslow will each conduct a part of the program—a program which prom- ises to be as interesting as it is di- verse. Program Announced ' ‘The two choruses will combine in ‘O sing unto the Lord a new song”, a verse anthem by Henry Purcell, and in Mozart’s “Te Deum” in C major (K. 141). Both of these re- ligious works have great. resonance and a sprightly character not often associated with their subject mat- ter, particularly in the case of the Te Deum. Mozart is said to have composed it at the age of 13, There will be an accompaniment in both works, consisting of strings and continuo. Octettes To Combine The Bryn Mawr double. octette and a Wesleyan group of compar- able size will join for the Buxte- hude Cantata “‘Befiel dem Engel dass er komm” (Order the angel to come and watch over us, thy property). In Buxtehude’s compo- sitions, as in those of his pupil Bach, there is a harmonic and con- trapuntal richness typical of the organ, which instrument they both played extensively. Holst’s “Three Hymns from the Rig Veda”—to the dawn, Vena (the sun rising through the mist), and Agni, the god of fire, will be performed by the women’s chorus. The Bryn Mawr chorus will also sing “Vere Languores” by Lotti, an Italian composer of the Neo- e Notice The Undergraduate Associa- tion is pleased to announce the appointment of Rebecca Tingle 61 and Cary Webb Hank ’61, editors of the Freshman Hand- book and Margaret Parlin ’61, politan school, and “Ave Maria” by Vittoria, a piece which may al- ready be familiar to some of the Continued on Page 8, Col. 4 Other Generation To Be Welcomed Plans are currently being made for the fourth Bryn Mawr Parents’ Day to be held on May 2nd. The program will differ from the last Parents’ Day in which 178 families, many of whom had attended the previous day’s May Day Celebra- tion, participated, in an increase of student participation. Conducted evey other year, Par- ents’ Day in 1957 featured a faculty lecture in the morning and after- noon speeches by Miss McBride and Mr. Neil McElroy. This year’s program will begin with a discussion by Mrs. Marshall on the Philosophy of the Curricu- lum, and, continue with student dis- cussion sessions on creative arts, sciences, and the humanities meet- ing simultaneously in different campus centers. . These plans, still in the tentative stage, are under the direction of a faculty and a student committee headed by Anne White and com- posed of three members from each of the four classes.

Miss Biba Special Issue of Amherst ‘‘Student’’ Tells Russians of Education in U.S. by E. Anne Eberle © Eight months of planning, writ- ing, red tape, and rewriting culmi- nated January 29 when Amherst College sent off 1,00 copies of its publication, the Student, to English- speaking students at the University of Moscow. The issue involved was not just any old edition which hap- pened to be lying around the news- paper office, but a carefully planned 16-page issue designed to “sketch briefly the rough outlines of higher _ education in the United States... (and) to establish a channel of com- munication between the students of this country and those of the Soviet Union.” Since the paper is to be sent to English-speaking students at the University (The Soviet Ministry of Education has assured the safe de- livery of the Student), the articles, American education, are in English with the exception of one brief edi- torial in Russian. Paul Dodyk, chairman of the Student, and C. Ernest Erbsen are the instigators of the issue, whose official. title is “Education in the United States—A Survey.” It sweeps through American education from secondary schools to graduate students and from educational TV to junior colleges, pausing on the way to consider the philosophy and objectives of our system, with data secured last summer from colleges and universities across the nation. In a letter from V. Smirnov, edi- tor of the Moscow University, Paul Dodyk received a-tenuous promise that the Russians would be willing to return the gesture in the future. Who knows, perhaps Amherst has really opened a “channel of com- munication” through which Am- herst Students and Bryn Mawr Newses will flow freely to show the. , IN MEMORIAM -_|‘Metamorphosis’ Of 1902 Lectures Brings Jubilation The 1902 Series of Lectures, which began with Mrs. Hannah Arendt’s discussion of Politics and Freedom and Dr. Leo Spitzer’s talk on Courtly Love, will continue through April 20 with lectures in fields ranging from archaeology through biology, psychiatry and literature. Hanfmann To Speak On March 5, Dr. George Hanfmann, professor of Fine Arts at Harvard University, will speak in Goodhart on New Excavations at Sardis. Dr. Hanfmann, a visitor in the Classical Department of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and a member of: the ‘Committee of the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, is assistant editor of the American Journal of Archaeology and on the editorial board of the Art Bulletin. Dr. Alexander Leighton, Profes- sor of Psychiatry at Cornell Uni- versity, will deliver the fourth lec- ture of the series on March 13 in the Biology lecture Room. Author of The Governing of Man and Human Relations in a Changing World, Dr. Leighton will speak on Environmental Influence on Mental Health. He is a Fellow of the Gug- genheim Foundation and a recipi- ent of the Human Relations. Award of the Society for the Advancement of Management. Biological Topic Genes and the Man will be the subject of the fifth lecture, to be delivered March 23 by Dr. Bentley Glass, author of a book by the same title and editor of the Quarterly Review of Biology and Survey of Biological Processes. Dr. Glass is a member of the American Genetic Association, the Society for the Study of Evolution, and the His- tory of Science Society. e. e. cummings, noted poet and painter, will deliver the last lecture in the series on April 20. Mr. cum- mings will speak on what he calls “non-lecture” poetry, and comment. History Of Fund The 1902 Lecture Fund, estab- lished seven years ago by the Class of 1902 as a fiftieth reunion gift, has this year undergone something of a metamorphosis. The change, which, according to Mrs, Paul has “positively delighted everyone”, consists primarily in the concentration of a greater num- ber of speakers into a shorter per- iod of time. Whereas there were formerly no more than two or three lectures provided by the fund per year, this year’s faculty commit- tee, under the chairmanship of Miss Robbins, has scheduled six lectures for the ten-week period between February 9 and April 20. A memorial service for the late Richard Max Bernheimer will be held in the Chapel of the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church, Montgomery Ave., Bryn Mawr, Pa., on Wednesday, March 18 at 5:00 p.m. The Rev. The Ford Foundation announced this week a grant of $136,000 to Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore and Haverford Colleges for a coopera- Cancer Research Topic Of Lecture In his discussion of “Cancer Re- search and the Biological Sciences” last night, Dr. Franklin S. Philips, speaking under the auspices of the Science Club, gave his audience some idea of the scope. of his field. He emphasized especially the many factors involved in cancer research and commented that, although many people have sought one unify- ing concept of causation, most evi- dence seems to lead in the opposite direction, toward the idea of a num- ber of factors. According to Dr. Philips who is with the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, cancer is gen- erally considered to be a rapid, un- restrained, wild growth. In many cases, he commented, this rapidity of growth is not limited to cancer- ous cells. He cited as rapid, orderly and normal processes those which occur in the epithelium (membrane like lining) of the duodenum (or first part of the small intestine) of the rat, and the production of blood cells. He added, furthermore, that the terms surrounding a discussion of cancer are generally “egocen- tric” ones “charged with emotion.” Philips discussed the causes, nature and treatment of cancer. He gave examples of its progression, some of the physical and chemical] fac- tors involved in its origin, and sev- eral aspects of present research being done. Dr. Philips illustrated with slides the fact that cancers are not always wildly proliferating undifferentiated growths but rather progress to that state from a more orderly one. In this earlier state, the cancerous cells are well differentiated and manifest physiological responses similar to those of the surrounding body cells. In discussing causation, he dealt with virology, and genetics and gave particular attention to the probable modes of action of chemi- Continued on Page 8, Col. 2 Calendar Thursday, February 26— 8:30 p.m.—Skinner Workshop.

The project has as. its objective the increase of knowledge and under- standing of non-western cultures for both faculty and students and the introduction of new persepct- ives into the undergraduate cur- ricula of the three colleges. Scholars To Visit The grant“will bring two suc- cessive Asian scholars to the cam- puses to organize and present a seminar for faculty members. Funds will be used to make it possible for the groups of faculty to spend one-third or one-half of the year in this special joint study of Asia. The scholars will also teach un- dergraduate courses and assist in dnereasing library materials in this field. Outside specialists will be invited as speakers to supplement the project. Foundation Project The grant is a part of a $376,000 program sponsored by the Ford Foundation to test approaches for developing more effective teaching about non-western areas. The aid, formerly given solely on the grad- uate level, was extended to under- graduate schools for the first time this week. The University of vane In- diana University and Denison Uni- versity are also participating in the project. Unlike former aid to Yale and the University of Chi- cago which stressed training for specialists in the area, these grants are to expand the existing liberal arts curricula.

When we editorialized last week on the recognition due to the many people who perform the essential but often ob- scure duties and chores involved in operating the College, we hardly realized how immediate and germane was the. subject. This week we are printing, elsewhere on the page, a letter from the presidents of Self-Gov. and Undergrad, which deals not so much with the sense of campus responsi- bility we were trying to evoke as with the sense of responsi- bilty which must obtain for the individual if organizations such as Self-Gov. and Undergrad are to continue under ex- perienced and interested leadership. The importance of such a letter, coming as it does at election season—that is, arising out of the experiences of the past week—is obvious. Nor does the fact that qualified candidates have been found dis- pel the force of its question: do we in fact want to continue to shoulder the jobs of self-government and the organization of.campus activities? or Either some serious rethinking must, take place now, or we allow ourselves to slide by for another year. The prob- Jem is not new and there is every reason to suppose that it will reoccur. Perhaps the fault lies in the internal structures of the organizations themselves ; there certainly seems to be a general feeling that the top offices are monolithic and sure- -ly academically destructive of anyone except a genius.. Is there room in the lower reaches of the organization to train enough people, to bring a sufficient number into contact with the workings of the organization? If the difficulty’ resides | here, then constitutional emendation should be sufficient. If, on the other hand, we have accepted or concur in the aca- _ demic bias of the College to the extent that we are unwilling to spend time on the extra-academic functions of the com- munity, then perhaps these functions should be turned over to the Administration—not that the Administration wouldn’t be alarmed at such a prospect—or perhaps to the ‘hall :war+ dens and officers, or even to informal organizations of inter- ested students. There is no point in trying to enforce a community spirit if one does not exist—if we are not inter- ested in its existence. On Grants and Gratitude News was released last Friday .of a Ford Foundation grant of $136,000, given to Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore for a joint.program in Asian studies. : The three colleges are the only cooperative venture in a nation-wide plan, evolved by the Ford Foundation, to strengthen college curricula in the area of non-western stud- ies. This promotion of emphasis on the East, the effects of ‘which will extend into both research and teaching, aims to balance to some extent the traditionally Western orientation of the American college curriculum. Such an orientation, the Ford Foundation. has recognized as unrealistic in the present interdependent state of east and west. It seems a project with’ almost unlimited possibilities and a future of constant expansion. Although the subsidized program will expire after its allotted two-year span, it is designed to provide a stimulus and the basis of a permanent and vital contribution to the colleges’ curricula. Bryn Mawr is fortunate in joining the vanguard of a movement towards greater awareness of Asian affairs, and in doing so will derive a purely individual benefit from the maturing of another side of an already many-sided curricu- | ‘ |tablishment and four o’clock tea ‘|borrowed title only that we are | game of international power poli- The Fourth Leader The above title‘is not. meant to confuse.

So, instead, we are now borrowing. a - tradition .from. the. Times of London. For untold years the Times has lent its fourth ed- itorial’ (“leader” is equivalent to “editorial” in that part of the world, we are told) to high-toned yet folksy reminiscence about the days when gentry had both titles and pounds, The Sun Never Set on the British Empire, and The Es-. held undisputed sway. Our pur- poses are somewhat different, how- ever, and we will denote by the commenting in informal fashion on matters too delicate or too frag- mentary for the cumbrous Editor- ial Column, ; Intenational: If we singled out the three countries whose internal policies and development will most affect international affairs and the face of the political earth in. im- | minent years, those three would be the United States and Russia, of course, and Communist China. Of these, perhaps Communist China will be the strategic power, if, avoiding the pitfalls of premature and. extreme maneuvers in the tics and in domestic organization, it becomes the example for the: many Asian and African countries which desire revolutionary indus- trialization. In this respect, then, we note with imterest Mao Tse-tung’s re- versal of his policy on birth con-' trol. Until last summer, the Chin- ese Communist government con- ducted a national campaign to ed- ucate the populace on the subject and make low-cost contraceptives readily available. Early last fall, so far as we can gather, the pro- gram was abandoned. Why? We should very much like to know. The population of Communist China is increasing at the rate of 41,000 souls per diem, or doubling every fifty years; its present 650 million people must live for the most part just above the subsist- ‘it. In its purer form folk music | Odetta classified herself in the lat- Continued on Page 8,. Col. 1° Folk Music As An Art by Dee Wheelwright Asked to write an artigle for the News on folk music, I find my- self at quite a loss as to how to begin. Anyone trying to describe an art form other than literature runs into the difficulty of having to use words to convey something which; by its nature, eludes de- scription. Folk music is an art, as is any creative process. It should not be disparaged for being coarse, wild or bohemian, for it has come to be these things; not by its own nature, but ‘by the attitude of the people who have recently taken to singing is an important part of a country’s culture, and is the ancestor of classical music, It should be tak- en seriously, and may be taken seriously in several .ways: as a musical form (which ranges from the very simple to the very com- plex), as a historical document (inaccurate, but interesting) 017 as a literary work. But it should not be taken too seriously, for it must be enjoyed, and when. drag- ged through a scholarly mire, it loses much of its luster. Although it makes an interesting study, it was meant to be sung, and this is far more rewarding than the study. At the Swarthmore folk festival last year, Odetta made this distine- tion between a folk singer and a singer of folk songs: a folk singer | grows up in a certain folk singing tradition, whereas the singer of. folk. songs adopts one or many tra- ditions (usually the latter) and adapts them to his background. ter group, and I, too, belong to this group, for, although I have been singing songs since I was three years old, I was born in New York City, and my singing back- ground was heterodox (the first songs I learned were “I Been Workin’ on the Railroad”, “Alou- ette”, and “Fair Harvard, Thy Sons to thy Jubilee Come”). So I cannot honestly criticize the sec- ond group, although my admira- tion is reserved for the real Mc- Coy. I think that they are more fortunate, they who. have grown up in a specific tradition, than those singers of folk songs (let’s call them commercial folk- singers, not all of them are) who choose their material arbitrarily from among the traditions of many countries. I say fortunate because I fee] that it is more desirable to come by something so spontaneous as folk singing naturally rather than to borrow it from others. Then too, natural. singers are, by and large, _more sincere than com- mercial folk singers, since they treat the song they sing as music, rather than a game or an act. The danger of being “‘cute” and of act- ing ‘a-song (putting in dramatic effects of accompaniment or voice, grimacing, syncopating, etc.) are pitfalls ‘which trap most commer- cial folk singers. Recently, due mostly to the efforts of Pete See- ger and the Weavers, a rage for folk music hag swept the country. But the rage is not for natural folk singing, it is for commercial- ized folk singing. The fad start- ed because it was a novelty, and the fans insist on continued nov- elty. The Weavers and Pete See- ger, to whom (as I have said) goes the credit for this occurrence (or the blame, depending on your point of view), are famous enough so that they don’t have to cater to the public taste in everything they sing; but the newer groups like the Kingston Trio feel they must rely. on staging and effect to carry their songs, This I am sure they do in all sincerity; they are bring- ing folk music: to the millions— and successfully, too; the whole country is singing lustily along with the Trio, “Bow down your head, Tom (gasp) Doo-hoo-ly”, little dreaming that they are con- tributing to the heartless massacre of what was once a beautiful song. Folk music, as an art, demands sincerity and toleration. It is true that a commerical folk singer has difficulty in sounding like a natural one, and in’ most cases it is im- possible for him; however, it is unnecessary for him to attempt this. He is not a natural folk singer, therefore he must work, with what he has, and this is valid only if he does not cater to the public taste, A folk singer who cannot, or does not treat every song he sings as something highly personal or meaningful or special in some way, has-no business sing- for the sake of a name, although ing. . To the Editor: The majority of. us who come | to Bryn Mawr do so for academic reasons. The admissions policy is firmly oriented towards making the ultimate test of entrance the candidates’ capacity for and inter- est in academic endeavor, as_ it must be. Among the faculty there is a tendency to emphasize high scholarship above other qualities, both for the sake of the student and in -order to preserve Bryn Mawr’s rating as an intellectual bulwark. that the Bryn Mawr student should evaluate her success here in the light of her studies rather than of her other activities and contacts. We would be the first to say that academic interests should hold the central place, but we would ques- tion the way in which their prior- ity is exploited. The excuse of “too much work, too little time”, has become a stock phrase whose true meaning is often “I don’t want to, I don’t care, I’m not interested”. There are many instances in which. such an attitude is easily under- standable. Indeed, the atmosphere: of Bryn Mawr necessarily fosters | such an outlook. Science students spend the majority of every day in the lab; honors students must 2. ‘lum. There: is little left for us to do but join the college as ‘thanks to the Ford f oundation, and hope to iaiduuhaiies ‘os thanks through active —— in the a once inaugurated, — scholarship students must mein- tain a certain average. ‘literally untold amounts of work It is natural, therefore | jantness” to these jobs has a dis- |the pros and cons of ipso facto “lcannot be done with separ ‘to the lack of desire or willingness on the part of the Bryn Mawr stu- dent to undertake her share of community responsibility is a fault which can result in a serious change in the atmosphere of this campus, if, indeed, it has not al- ready done so. (This is not a blanket criticism of the student body, for there are many who do with no thought of pay or praise). We wish to point out, however, that those who are willing to undertake their share of responsibility are inevitably called upon to do far more than their share. The fact that they do it and succeed in do- ing it should reflect unfavorably on those who say that they can’t spare the time to buy the food for a picnic, to help decorate the gym for a dance, or, on a larger scale, ‘to run for an office. Such jobs in themselves are not always pleasant; the benefits to be reaped must first..be sown by the individual involved. But anyone who applies a standard of “pleas- torted view of life.

Most of us will agree that it is a disagreeable policy, but will main- tain that “well, nobody would come if the meetings weren’t fined.” It seems to me that this statement— if true—is a most depressing de- scription of the state of our student body. Can it really be that nobody cares enough about what goes on to attend meetings voluntarily? If this were the situation the obvious solution would be to abolish all class councils and all the traditions handled by the classes as separate entities, since no one apparently cares about them anyway. That such lack of interest does exist is difficult to believe. It is true that there are a few people in each class who adamantly deny any in- terest whatsoever in the political _ actions of their class. It is also true that there are a larger number of people who would not like an- archy at Bryn Mawr, but who still don’t ¢are enough about meetings to bother to attend. They do not. seem to realize that the choice is . tbetween the responsibility of at- tending class meetings and the ad- mitting of anarchy, and is not a.

For its rules are those by which the two most vital areas of gtudent life at Bryn Mawr— the academic and the social—are governed. The reason students do not.seem overly aware of these rules (which nevertheless extend far into the realms of our activity) is that they govern us easily, even unobtrusive- ly. This of course is due to the fact that they were formulated by students who were thoughtful and far-sighted, Thus, most of us find the rules easy to learn and easy to obey. Herein lies an important function of the Self-Gov. Executive Advis- ory Boards.. They must not allow this comparative contentment with the rules to cause the students to forget who makes the rules. Times change; new situations demand new rules. The’ formulation of these. new rules rests primarily with the students who will benefit from them.

Self-Government should fulfill three general but fundamental re- quirements within the college com- munity. First, Self-Gov. must maintain the integrity of the Aca- demic Honor System and by this to provide an opportunty in which each student may be individually responsible for her work, Second, Self-Gov. must maintain the repu- tation of the college without jeop- ardizing. the principles of the stu- dent body. Third, and most im- portant, Self-Gov. must guarantee an environment in which the indi- vidual student may develop a nec- essary self-respect, learn to cher- ish principles, and judge when and when not to sacrifice personal in- terests, for each of these qualities is essential to reaching maturity. Each student under the Honor System is independently respons- ible for her conduct. Each stu- dent, moreover, should be concern- ed with the conduct of the college as a whole, not to the extent of being her “brother’s keeper” but only insofar as she can help to maintain Self-Gov.’s rules. These rules, which are reasonable, must stand as the norm to which it is hoped the college will conform.

Sophomore Year: Tennis Varsity ° Hockey Varsity Class Rep to AA Head of Soda Fountain Chorus Director of Maids and Porters Show Campus Guide Junior Year: Hockey Varsity Campus Guide The Self Government rules reach most students in the form of a discipline of everyday life. Like all places, Bryn Mawr has rules. How- ever, the emphasis of this discipline is that which distinguishes it from that of many other communities. Self-Gov., rather than emphasizing obedience to rules alone, aims at maintaining a feeling of respect for, and responsibilty to the rules over and above obedience to them, These are the implements necessary to maintain an honor system. By emphasizing this aspect of gov- ernment, Self-Gov. demands unus- ual maturity of the entire student body. Each member is expected to have the insight and ability to remember that she is part of a community and not to allow her actions to disrupt or harm this community. Similarly this form of government puts a grave re- sponsibility on the Self-Gov. Board. They must inspire and maintain the mature outlook that-the sys- tem demands as well as enforce its rules. “Another aspect of the Self-Gov. Board job is to legislate, making sure that every law has a sound and rational basis of necessity.

The phrase “social pressure” is, I believe, the most crucial point in self-government. Social pres- sure can be most loosely termed an “atmosphere” or “tendency”. Officially it is termed a “redirection of attitudes and actions which are contrary to belief in and practices of self-government”. The latter in- terpretation has incurred what I consider to be a false conception of self-government; i.e., a body of exteriorly imposed rules and ex- terior enforcement of them. — I should like to reconsider the con- cept of social pressure, emphasiz- ing responsibility and not press- SELF-GOV.

Not only are they con- cerned with the student body, but - also the faculty and administration. | However, the most pressing prob- lems and that which I would first deal with, were I elected president of Undergrad, concerns mainly the students. For several years there has been concern. over the structure. of the big six.

Certain of a Notice Candidates for the presidency of Undergrad were presented with these questions: Upon tak- ing office as President of Under- grad what is the first thing you would do? How and why would you do it? the “Big Six” seem bigger than the rest. This has recently been very clearly manifest in the difficulty which Self-Gov and Undergrad have had in finding candidates to run for president next year, where- as the other organizations have en- countered no such problems. Do people consider these two an over- whelming responsibility? Or per- haps they are more concerned with time and therefore are difficult for one person to handle. These are only a few of the many problems | which seem to be posed by the pres- ent arrangement. A study Has been made during the past two years and several re- ports have been heard.

Ther were six loosely coordinated groups, equal in position but’ not in practice.

The Experiment in International Living Junior Show The question which I suppose is , most important is: What is the main objective of Alliance? Alli- ance serves most: importantly a twofold purpose. The first pur- pose is that it brings from the world outside of Bryn Mawr speak- ers and information which inform those of us here on the political situations in the world today. In other words Alliance brings to this academic “Ivory Tower” some practicality to which we may ap- ply our more scholastic principles. The. second purpose. of the Alli- ance is the fact that it represents in its various . aspects — politica thought and action on the Bryn Mawr campus, By co-ordination of its various clubs, it channels such thoughts and actions to their most useful end within the campus itself. It allows those interested in this work to become better ac- quainted with it.: This is how I envision the Alli- ance. I should like to see the Al- liance remain strong with more activities on the part of the clubs in the Alliance. I think that it can continue in its strength by means of the College co-ordinating council, and by reminding students that Alliance Board meetings are open to everyone on the campus. I feel that speakers should be brought in as they have been in the past, and I would like to see a conference held on some aspect of the international scene such as African Nationalism. Finally, iI think a great source of strength can come from co-ordination on the part of Alliance with other organizations of the same kind in other colleges. Here would lie a vast pool of ideas which would enhance ‘Alliance in reference to the political scene here and “on the outside”’, Activities: Freshman Year: — Director, Freshman Hall.

Its: tools are varied, from the small committee through Current Events lectures and occasional for- ums. But there has been a lack of integration within Alliance of these individual groups. For example, the political groups go out and solicit workers during the election year and then, when it is all over, these people return to the dorms, when they could be par- ticipating in the Discussion Group’s analysis of partisan affairs, oy they could be helping the Debate Club in a more formalized situation, de- bating questions argued informally for many hours.

Association’s role om campus is to help meet, the need of the students, Obviously it can- not meet these needs entirely, nor should it try to do so. But it can and should provide on the campus opportunities both for worship and for learning about religion. As the name implies, Inmterfaith’s pro- gram ought to include speakers and discussions about a-variety of religious faiths. It does this chiefly through the two main facets. of its activity: chapel and the mid-week programs. The chapel services should, in my opinion, provide an opportunity for worship as well for hearing speak- ers who represent different faiths. I believe that it is good for all of us to participate in various forms of worship as well as to hear speeches about religion.

It can be a méans where- by students of different faiths can communicate, by worship and dis- cussion, that which has been mean- ingful to them. In this Association there exists the unique opportunity and the imperative necessity to pierce into the nature of religious -}experience as it does and has ex- isted in the various religious tradi- tions. Each individual here has the opportunity to express what has been real to her as it has touched her life. This common concern could lead into questions of the nature of Man, his place in society today and the reverberation of this situation on religion, ethics as related to re- ligion, or not related to religion, and many other profoundly re- ligious ag well as philosophical or sociological questions. Practically, these queries might result in more mid-week4Addresses, such as the one given by/Dr. Sloane this year on Religion anf Art which was sponsored by Interfaith in con- junction with Arts Council.

To do this adequate- ly I thimk it is necesary to obtain the most outstanding leaders in each field for the Sunday evening chapel services. This to me is very im- portant for we are in an area to have access to such leaders, and the “voice of Authority,” so to speak, is many times necessary for a clear understanding and presen- tation of a subject. I think that it would be worth- while for Interfaith to set up a series of Sunday evening chapels designed to systematically give the student at Bryn Mawr a chance to attend a great variety of serv- ices and hear the religious ideas of many faiths. This I think could be correlated ‘with the mid-week ac- tivities and it would be very worth- while, I also think that the dis- cussion groups held after each service shouid be given more em- phasis for they many times can be the most interesting part of the program. In short I would like to see each student at Bryn Mawr provided wtih the opportunity to develop his ideas of religion and religious thought, and the opportunity to worship each in his own way. Betty Cassady Continued from Page 5, Col. 4 the Clothing Drive, and Weekend Workcamps. Participation in the workcamp weekends, both in the slum areas of Philadelphia and at Embreeville, has grown consider- ably with a project scheduled near- ly every weekend. (The League is co-sponsoring such ‘a weekend with Haverford this spring). The time is approaching for decision con- cerning the League’s Summer Camp for underprivileged children from the Philadelphia area. Last summer the camp was not held be- cause of a lack of interested stu- dent counselors. But this spring, if enthusiasm is shown for such a project, the camp can resume its six weeks summer session. Besides serving the community, ‘the League offers valuable oppor- tunities to students for. service from which they learn about social problems as Well as gain reward- ing experience from direct contact with these problems. It’s my hope that the League will continue to attract an ever-enlarging group of interested students who will stim- ulate new projects and thus add new value to the services of the League, Marcy Tench Continued from Page 3, Col. 5 till senior year or late junior year that we are able to know the fac- ulty outside of the classroom. We live in a small enough community so this situation could be amelior- ated. _ I find the students even separated along hall lines. This is natural to some extent, but I believe it goes too far. This year, as First Junior to Undergrad, Social Chairman of the College, I found many fields in which hall activities could be co- ordinated. AA does it through ath- letic activities. I would like to see Undergrad coordinate hall and so- cial activities. Aside from the general under- graduate activities, next year pre- sents a special challenge to the Undergraduate Association. Next year is the 75th Anniversary of the College, and it is up to the associ- ation to decide what shall be done in celebration. I believe the plan- ning and suggestions should be - gathered this spring from the stu- dent body and faculty. : se atait be ts then, my male objec- Barbara Reid Continued from Page 4, Col. 2 iastic enough to spread their own, interest among their friends, drag them along to a folk dance, for instance. Also, hall representatives can play a large part in building interest. Although one could say I’m prejudiced toward the active sports and would very much like to see more spectators at basket- ball games, for example, the same interest is needed in every , other activity. In addition to being a purpose of AA, the providing of recreation is also the link between AA and the campus as a:-whole. AA works with the gym department, very well I think, in making available many facilities for relaxation and fun. In turn, the students should do their part in supporting these activities. Lynda Adler Continued from Page 5, Col. 5 valuable experiences it is unfortu- nate that they are so often missed by students who would appreciate them. In my opinion, the main duty of the League president is to fulfill the purpose of League—in other words to make certain that students are conscious of the activities, and to stimulate participation. I might suggest the following ways of do- ing this: (1) Less drain on time—Possibly, certain League activities could be included in the college program. For example, Haverford has a sys- tem which allows students to go on a certain number of Quaker Week- end Workcamps in place of sports requirements. Another way to use less time in League activities would be to have more of them during the week. This year we have originated two new ones of this sort: Sleighton Farm (recreation work. at a school for delinquent girls), and the Chil- dren’s Reception Center (work with homeless children who are waiting to be placed in foster homes). (2) A more active role for the com- mittee chairmen—Chairmen could meet during the year with the people who sign their lists, and make specific plans. (This would apply mainly to weekday activities.) (3) More publicity — Publicity through the College News, and through Hall Reps. More posters wish sign-up lists ~—_ specific dates. There are undoubtedly a number of other methods besides these, and it is the job of the League president and board to discuss methods, and to follow the discussion through in concrete terms. Betsy Emerson Continued from Page 3, Col. 4 of more autonomous, though still subordinated to this coordinating group. A tighter system could also mean a more simplified elec- tion system where it would be possible for more of the voting to be done within the individual or- ganization or within the class from which the officer is to come, This would eliminate much of the guess- work that is in the present sys- tem. ’ The reorganization would be a very difficult thing to carry through and would need the support and backing of the Big Six presidents and at least the interest of every- one. The report of the Re-evalu- ation Committee would have to be worked over by the Big Six pres- idents and their boards to draw up a plan suitable to the majority. This plan would have to be taken to the administration. The undertaking will certainly not be an easy one to carry out, and few major changes may result from it, but the need for exists, and the report. of thee Kathleen Livezy Continued from Page 5, Col. 5 Democracy Survive in America?” and the proposed Labor Conference to be sponsored by Alliance have and are setting successful prece- dents in this field. Such an Inter- faith Conference could provide a tangible situation for bringing to- gether the various existing re- ligious groups (i.e. Young Friends, Catholic Discussion Group, Student Christian Movement, Jewish stu- dents) for enlightening and stimu- lating religious contact through the coordinating body of the Interfaith Association. There seems to be a possibility to make the Chapel service more “inter-faith.” This is a topic which has required and will require much thought, but one might lie in a combination of a continuance of the new meditation service and a more uniquely sectarian and de- nominational emphasis given to the remaining services. Interfaith does have this opportunity to inform students about other religious tra- ditions. The demonstration of the Seder Supper, the explanation of the Mass, and the lecture series last year on Oriental religions seem to have been valuable and interesting contributions, It is not within the scope of the Interfaith Association to answer the total religious needs of students on campus. Rather, through “inter-faith” discussion, reading and worship, this organiza- tion can enrich individual life and extend the area and meaning of “religious” for students. B Sally Davis - Continued from Page 3, Col. 1 situations is rather to examine these new proposals in the light of the traditional policy of the as- sociation, Some of us are surprised to learn that the academic honor sys- tem was only formally started in 1954, ‘There are some areas (the orals, for instance) which are yet undefined with regard to the ‘honor’ system. These questions must be clarified if the system is to work completely and efficiently. Naturally, infringements against, the social honor system—and few- er against the academic honor sys- tem—do occur. In the social honor system, the Hall President deals with minor offenses, while the more serious cases are dealt with by the members of the Executive Board, A board consisting of both faculty and students deals with imfringe- ments against the academic honor system. All cases must be given]; painstaking and conscientious con- sideration. I think great effort must be spent in publicizing and clarifying the rules of both honor systems. Many of the infringements which occur among the members of the junior and senior classes are due to the fact that they have either forgotten thé rules since _ their freshman year, or have not become acquainted with the changes intro- duced. The honor system obvious- ly cannot work if the students do not know all its rules. Judy Pol Polsky Continued HM Page 3, Col. 5 and judgments about her. It can- not imply or force an obligation on her. Our relation is one to one; I am not representing the school nor other students.

Or may- be we could have a hymn-sing some night. Another way in which the Inter- faith Association helps to meet the religious needs of the students is through its reading and medita- tion room, which will soon move to Cartref and be provided with more books. One of the great lacks in this busy college is a quiet place for meditation and religious read- ing. The Interfaith Association privides a. chance for meditation both in its meditational services and. Friends’ Meetings and by providing a quiet room to which all students may go for prayers and meditation. Discussion about religious topics is another thing which I think In- terfaith should try to foster. Poss- ibly we could devote some of our board meetings to open discussion of such topics as the role of re- ligion at Bryn Mawr. One of the greatest weaknesses in Interfaith’s program—a weak- ness which keeps it from being truly an interfaith association— has been the lack of Catholic speakers. I would hope to be able to have more speakers and dis- cussions about Catholicism a part of the mid-week program. In order to provide opportunities to learn about other religions, too, Interfaith should sponsor more trips to nearby religious growps—the Swedenborgians, for instance. Thus I believe that the Inter- faith Association should try to provoke thinking about religion and to provide the student oppor- tunities to gain a greater under- standing of other religions, as well as to deepen her own thoughts and feelings about religion. Jean Yaukey Continued from Page 3, Col. 3 Next year’s board will be faced more with adjustment and clarifi- cation of rules than actual legisla- tion since this year’s board revis- ed the constitution. However, the board must always be certain that the rules for which they demand respect are sound. ‘I do want to point out here that my experience on. the board con- sists of a freshman temporary term. Despite this lack of exper- ience, it is, I must admit, with eag- erness as well as occasional terror that I accept the nomination, feel- ing that Self-Gov. represents an aspect of this college’s life which involves especial integrity and com- mon sense, and to be its president is one of the most exciting chal- lenges on the Bryn Mawr scene. The integrity of the girl who leads this organization must equal that of the organization itself. I there- fore consider the nomination an honour, and the student body’s job of electing the president, a solemn responsibility.

Catharine Lucas Continued from Page 5, Col. 1 duties such as chapel, Interfaith is the potential correlater of newly defined religious interests on campus. If students are finding such groups as S.C.M., Young Friends, the new Jewish study group, and the group of Catholic students which meets for discus- sion every Sunday offering more than the local churches or Inter- faith’s own chapel service, it be- comes Interfaith’s duty to help these groups in formulating a program sympathetic with the Ad- ministration’s fear of devicive in- fluences in a college so small. The most long-standing contribution of Interfaith to campus life is Sunday Evening Chapel services. I feei Interfaith has failed to offer stu- dents the real advantages of inter- faith worship, No matter how general the topic, a speaker’s ap- proach is influenced by his back- ground. Within a tradition of “speakers at chapel,” a program of predominantly Protestant speak- ers, means that for the bulk of chapel services there is no mean- ingful worship for the large group of Jewish and Catholic students on campus. I would like to see Interfaith explore the realms of other worship media, such as dia- logue sermons (the speakers con- tributing to the same point with different approaches). student dra- matizations, or films, incorporated into a.worship service; and th handling of such topics as religio music, or a service demanding more student participation, There is room for new creative expansion and greater intellectual stimula- tion within the framework of a chapel service where the emphasis remains on providing an opportiun- ity for worship. In this short space I have not been able to list fully many ideas ‘which have oc- curred to me since my nomination. I believe, however, that with a branching-out in chapel services, and the growth of the organization as a clearing-house for other re- ligious activities than its own, next year could be a vital one for Inter- faith. I would be honored to ac- cept the responsibilty involved in leading these activities. Besides all the energies and enthusiasm at my command, I would like to ‘pledge my most serious thought to gaining for myself and for the campus a more vibrant concept of Interfaith, its nature and poten- tiality.
