The first of these is Miss Mc- Bride’s tea for all freshmen, Sun- day afternoon, to be held at the home of the President. One of the final official “welcomes,” but one of the warmest and most gracious, will be extended to the Class of ’59 by Miss McBride. The first chapel service of the year will be held in the evening at 7:30 in the Music Room. The Rev. Robert James will be the speaker. At 8 p.m. upperclassmen will be- gin returning to the halls. This annual event, which will continue through Monday, will be marked by much excitement and confusion, but with general good feeling. Pre- viously..desérted rooms will be ex- plored and settled, and civilization will grow and flourish along the corridors, Also on Sunday eahe, at 9:15 to be exact, one of the newer Bryn Mawr traditions will make its first appearance before the freshmen. The Soda Fountain, equipped’ with} hoagies, ice cream, and sticky buns, will begin another year of offering food and comfort to the Bryn Mawr student. Monday morning, medical and mental examinations will continue, and in the afternoon the athletes Continued on Page 3, Col. 3 Freshman Statistics One hundred and _ sixty-four freshmen, representing 26 states and three foreign countries,..have entered Bryn Maw) as the Class of 59, New York state has the largesc representation in the freshman class, with 48 students. Pennsy!- vania is second with 2y. Five freshmen made the long trek from California, and Texas can boast, naturally, of four ‘5y’e.s. The freshmen class has only five foreign students: Madeleine Adler and Sigrid de Vogel of the Neth- erlands, Margaret Bickley of Ber- muda, and Janet Myles and Gil- liam Pearson of England. There are 12 freshmen “alum- nae daughters”: Gail Beckman, Helen Farr, Elizabeth Foshay, Cor- neélia Hoeffel, . Edith Kunhardt, Laura Pearson, Ruth Simpson, Theodora Stillwell, Ann_ Tilson, Lucy Wales, Carolyn Williams and Cathya Wing. A new “dorm” has been added this\ fall—Rhoads Annex. Rhoads Annex is actually the home of Mrs. Longmaid, where 5 freshmen are -staying. They will. eat all of their meals at Rhoads, and will join in ithe social life of that hall. East House, which served as a Spanish House last year, has been turned over completely to the ‘freshmen. \ The 15 freshmen who are living there will eat some of their meals at Rockefeller, Pem- broke and Merion.

I can recall a sentence from the “special hints” section of my freshman handbook. It read, “BMC students cail tae town of Bryn Mawr ‘The Ville’.” This is not tech- nically correct for the term “Ville” refers only to the business section of the town, the place where Ber- muda shorts cannot be worn. There are three other girls’ schools in the residential part of town besides this college. More than one person has driven through the campus of The Baldwin School thinking it-ewas Bryn Mawr.

No, really, I don’t hate my mother” . .” The comments heard during the first few days of Freshman Week were typical of a new class at Bryn Mawr. But in spite of the cus- tomary: confusion, the class of ’59 lived through the period of Sept. 29-Oct. 1. . and even enjoyed it. The halls opened to the incoming class at 8 a.m. Thursday, with the upper classmen (amazingly) dressed before breakfast. The freshmen were rushed through in- troductions, appointments, inter- views and tests until their heais were spinning. The tea for fresh- men and their parents provided a welcome interlude in the ~ ac- tivities. The evening of their first day at college brought the meeting with members of the»Self-Governnient Association, at which president tance of about three blocks, one| must pass through a tunnel under the railroad tracks. There is a superstition that anyone who. is i this tunnel while a train is passing over and holds her top button will hot fail her next exam. There are no statistics proving the reliability of this action, however. Bryn Mawr is one of several suburban. towns which stretch westward from Philadelphia form- ing a section called the “Main Line.” It is hardly necessary to leave the town to shop, for one ean find almost anything in the Ville. First Stop The Acme Super Market is the first stop on the tour. There you can find almost everything, includ- ing lots of fattening food for teas. Next door is the Country Book- store, and beside it is Parvin’s Drug Store. Below Parvin’s is Cook’s, the jeweler. Further down Bryn Mawr ves nue, past the Post Office and the Bryn Mawr Trust Company, is Lancaster Pike, where you find most of the shops. Two blocks to the left are the A&P and The Blue Comet — for food in the raw” and “at _your service.” On the right hand side of the street are Miss Noirot’s—expensive clothes and lovely windows for window shopping —and Jeanett’s Flowers. Several cleaners are on this side, as is the famous Ham- burg Hearth, a three-college hang- Continued on Page 2, Col. 3 FRESHMEN The Business Staff of The College News wants and needs YOU Experience is not necessary If interested, contact Gloria Strohbeck, Pembroke West Anne Hebsud coorplained the ideais land methods of the organization. in | Following meetings in the halls with wardens and hall presidents, members of the class of ’59 were entertained with games and the memorable class and college songs. Meetings and Teas Friday brought more tests and appointments, and in the afternoon, the first meeting of the freshmen as aclass. The explanation of the many Bryn Mawr traditions was followed by the election of the first temporary song-mistress, At the curriculum committee tea in Wyndham, the freshmen at- tempted to pick up a few pointers about a possible major. The day was ended by the rewarding, if ex- hausting, scavenger hunt and the traditional picnic supper in Apple- bee Barn. Coming in like a lion, Saturday started off with the French lan- guage exam in Taylor, and the freshmen were given their first glimpse of the gym suits. The ac- cent on sports continued, after a brief pause for lunch, with hockey tryouts. The efforts of the pros- pective hockey players, as well as the rest of the class, were reward- ed at the soda fountain party. Freshman Mixer Question of how to sign out and what to wear came to the fore as the halls were overrun by the special Haverford College “wel- — coming committee.” The dance in the gym and Radnor’s open house introduced the class of '59 to ‘the Haverfordians and the joys of 2:30 permission. With one day to go, it is agreed that Freshman Week has been fun, , if hectic. We hope the class of / 69 finds the whole year as stim-/ ulating! ’ WELCOME by Campus Mail Se ae Page Two THE COLLEGE NEWS Sunday, October 2, 1955 THE COLLEGE NEWS FOUNDED IN. 1914 Published weekly during the College Year (except during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examination weeks) in the interest of bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore, h’a., and Bryn’ Mawr College.

We’re very glad to have you around—and not merely because you’re the biggest news to hit the campus since the Class of ’58 ar- rived, a year ago! — At Bryn Mawr, it is neither trite nor untrue to say that you are important. Your ideas, your enthusiasms, your personality are not lost in the collegiate scramble, perhaps to fake their first timid appearance in the middle of your junior year. As a freshman, you can organize a Young Re- publican Club (nobody ever has!) under the Alliance; you can make a point in class that will lead the professor into the most interesting discussion of the semester; you can (and will) take part ina Freshman Show that can rival any- thing'on Broadway. In these fields and in many others you are very important to the Coilege Community. Bryn Mawr is justifiably proud of its past... to a large extent its fu- ture depends on you. But if you are important to Bryn Mawr, you will find that Bryn Mawr is very important to you. Bryn Mawr offers you, in a few well trimmed acres, a greater concentration of interesting people, ideas and opportunities than you. will probably ever find again in your life. Take advantagé of them! We cannot say, take one-third academic, one-third extracur- ricular, and one-third social, stir and swallow for a college education. Who can separate one from another? A course you really enjoy can be more “fun” than a dance, a gathering of friends at tea can teach you more than tomorrow’s psych assignment. heart and your mind and look around. Make some friends that aren’t just like the girls back home.’ ‘l'ake a course that doesn’t dovetail neatly into your major subject. The right —and what a very essential and rewarding right—to be an “individual” doesn’t mean the right to be an unchanging in- dividual. The girl who koasts at Christmas that “college hasn’t changed me at all’ ought to sit down and consider why she came to college in the first place. We’re not going to end up by saying, “And above all, have a good time.” How can you help it, when Bryn Mawr offers you step singing, and such peculiar rooms to decorate, and Peter Bachrach, and Haverford? . What’s this? You have to rush io another tea? fun! Have By Leah Shanks 56 Philadelphia, known’ throughout history as the City of Brotherly Love, has many attractions to of- fer its citizens and visitors. If you know where to look, Philadel- phia holds rich rewards for the jazz enthusiast, opera lover, art admir- er, historian, shop-bound and gour- met. ‘ The center of Philadelphia’s mu- sical life is the Academy of Music, a mammoth wood structure locat- ed on the corner of Broad and Lo- cust Streets and easily accessible to Suburban Station. Most—-notable-among the events there are weekly concerts by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Perform- ances are given on Monday, Friday and Saturday evenings, with new programs scheduled for Saturday nights. (Special student season tickets are available.) Philadelphia also has twe opera companies, the Civic Grand and the La Scala of Philadelphia. Each of these companies gives approxi-- mately eight performances per season at the Academy. The Metropolitan Opera Com- pany of New York comes to Phil- adelphia about six times through- out the season. Since these per- formances are not announced in the papers until a few days before their opening, it is wise to watch the Academy bulletin board for early announcements. Better seats are rapidly sold. Ballet Offered The Academy also fegtures oth- er events during.the year: Sadler’s Wells Ballet, as well as the other We can only say, open up your eyes and your. A meeting to discuss tryouts for the College News will be held on Thursday, October 6, at 4:00 in the News room. All interested students are urged to attend. ..For further details, see article on page four. PRR Re 88 Pr dd a sei gear ee ‘ ¥ eae i es : ‘ < ballet companies; jazz festivals; chamber music concerts; and fea- tured soloists, such as Rubenstein, Heifitz and Milstein, A schedule of:,events..can be obtained by writing to the Acad- emy or by following the Philadel- phia newspapers. Adjoining the Academy is the Hedgerow Theatre, a small but dis- tinguished local company with a fine repertoire of plays. . Since Phliadelphia is one of the two test-towns for Broadway pro- duction, theatre-goers have the op- portunity of seeing the latest hits before they become “latests.” Among the theatres which offer these showings are the Locust, Shubert, Walnut and Forrest. If it is an after-theatre snack you want, try the Harvey House for j good hamburgers, waffles or gooey sundaes. Victor’s, which is a ways off Broad, is famous for its fine Italian food. Lew Tendler’ 8, also -}on Broad) at Locust, is known for its steaks\ and strawberry cheese cake. : If quaintness, candle-light and classical music appeal to you, stop at Maurice’s for either a sandwich or a full-course dinner. Kelly’s has delicious lobster and other seafood, while the Cafe Espresso offers sandwiches and coffee with a con- tinental atmosphere. Dining Places When enteriaining parents or friends for dinner you will want to show them some of Philadelphia’s more fashionable eating spots such as Old Bookb:nder’s, or the War- wick. If you prefer home-style cocking, moderate prices and a quiet atmosphere, Keplinger’s on City Line will fill your \needs. For those who love browsing in second-hand and_retail bookstores, Leary’s will be a haven. Record hunters will find bargains as well as a complete selection of releases at the Record Mart on Walnut just a few blocks south of Broad. Philadelphia also has its share of modern novelty shops where modern jewelry, art work, cards and various novelties are \ found. Here customers can browse or buy to their heart’s content. Philadelphia provides her \ art- lovers with two museums:. the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which has recently acquired the famous Aronsburg Collection of Modern art, and the University Museum of the University of Pennsylvania. Animal lovers have not been neglected either. A trip to the Philadelphia zoo in Fairmount Park is well worth the time. Most peopie think of Philadel- phia as an historical center. The hub of its historical life is Inde- pendence Hall. There are also Bet- ee ee ee a Season’s tickets to the Philadel- phia Orchestra concerts will be sold on Tuesday, October 11, from 12 noon to 2 p.m. at the Bryn Mawr book shep. The tickets are for the nine re- maining concerts of the Monday evening series, and are offered at a 10 per cent discount to Bryn Mawr students. Prices range from $14.58 to $25.92. Soloists for the 56th season in- clude Margaret Harshaw, Isaac Stern, Zino Francescatti, and Ru- dolph Serkin. Concerts begin at 8:30 p.m. in the Academy of Music. The Ville Provides Shopping Facilities; Main Line Town Important To B. M. C. Continued from Page 1 out, renowned for hamburgers, milk shakes and grilled sand- wiches. Joyce Lewis, next door to the Hearth, features attractive college clothes. Down toward the end of the block are Richard Stockton’s, girt shop, and Rene Marcel, the “French” hairdresser. The Mexi- can Shop, in the next block, has ‘unique gifts and room accessories, although it seefns strange to come to Pennsylvania and buy Mexican articles. Next decor is the new headquarters of the Photo. Center. Also on this side of the street are Blackstone’s Record Shop (next door to the Orange Clean- ers) and the Country Cousin, for “collegiate” garb. Crossing the street, comes to the Wilson Laundry. Back towards Bryn Mawr Avenue is Woolworth’s. Describing the News Agency is “feeling” adventurous >.> the tour a little difficult—it seems to havel- all the accoutrements of a drug store—fountain, papers and maga- zines—without the drugs. The News Agency is famous for its hoagies. Try them when you’re mune to indigestion. Edwards’ Groceries and Gane & Snyder feature various teas and cheeses which are unobtainable elsewhere. Mary McCrystal has notions and yard goods. The Sub- urban. Hardware and the Sun Ray Drug Store are also on this block, Past the court of the Bryn Mawr movies are the E] Greco Restau- rant and Dinah Frost’s. The latter offers a tempting collection of yarns, as well as a selection of| greeting cards. The’ Suburban Shopping Ceater in Ardmore has branches of Straw- bridge & Clothier, Peck & Peck, and Best & Company. Wynnewood boasts brariches of Bonwit Teller and John Wanamaker. and im-|~ Philadelphia Offers Various Forms of Entertainment For Interested Student Culture, Shops, Restaurants sy Ross’s Home and Valley Forge, which is a must in the spring. Of department stores, Philadel- phia has aplenty. The three ma‘n stores where shoppers can find anything: from a budget cotton to a Dior creation ‘are Wanamaker’s, Blum’s and Bonwit Teller’s. All three of these stores are easily reached from Suburban Station. For more exclusive apparel, there is Nan Duskin’s and for shoes, I. Miller’s and Geutings. There are many other specialty shops on Walnut Street and near Rittenhouse Square. The budget conscious girl, however, is most likely to be accommodated by the department stores. These are but a few of Philadel- phia’s features. If you are an op- portunist, take advantage of them. If you are an explorer there is ..much you can discover on your own. But whatever you are, you’ll find Philadelphia worthwhile fun. Freshmen Hall Plays will be given this year on Friday, Oc- tober 14, and Saturday, October 15. The plays will: begin at 8:30 P.M. in the Mrs. Otis Skin- ner Workshop, on Baldwin Cam- pus. Freshmen: Hall Plays are one-act plays, selected and per- formed by the freshmen of each hall, assisted by an, upperclass advisor. Thé plays are judged by a faculty committee, which announces the winner on Sat-: urday night. “A Show Is Born’’ In Old Cow Barn Every year. the juniors say_ it. “This year Junior Show is bigger and better than ever!” But this yeur is the best yet. How could it be otherwise with a script committee composed of Paula Sutter, Pat Moran, Nancy Chase, Rabbit MacVeagh, Caryl Sharlow, Anita Kaplan, Helene Rosenbaum and Ginny Gavian. The committee met recently in the creative atmosphere of a reno- vated cow barn in Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, to write the show. Although there was no heat and no hot water, the committee survived and produced a script. The rumor is that the as yet un- named show has little music, many lyrics and many laughs. Tryouts will be held Tuesday night before and after Parade Night. The show will be given Sat., Oct. 22. It’s a date to remember. Plan to see the Class of ’57’s Junior Show.

Lab Buying books this fall in the new and larger bookshop will be a real pleasure. The bookshop is now lo- cated behind Merion Hall in what was previously the undergraduate psychology lab. é Gay and cheerful are the only words to describe the interior of the bookshop, with its green as- bestos tile floor and light-colored walls, and Mrs. Nahm and her staff are beaming. “We hope all the textbooks we need will be here, but we don’t. have all of the trimmings yet,” said ‘Mrs. Nahm.

The previous high was in 1949-50, when the en- rollment was 769. The undergraduate enrollment is 634, broken down to 580 residents, 40 non-residents, 9 junior year abroad and 5 senior year away. The graduate school enrollment is 161. This year there are 12 upper- class. transfers, which added to the 164 freshmen means that 176 stu- dents will be starting classes at ‘Bryn Mawr for the first-time on Tuesday. a GOOD INVESTMENT A subscription to the College Off |News is $3.50 per year. campus subscriptions are $4.00 Bills may be put on Pay Day. rrr er rr rr rr weve wn tinued and possibly expanded, but that they have not been set up due to lack of time. “We had to con- centrate on essentials for the open- ing of college,” said Mrs. Nahm. No new departments are being added this year, as Mrs. Nahm felt that the staff needed time to settle down in their new quarters and ex+ plore all possibilities. Then the new ideas will start rolling in. Every year the bookshop’s busi- ness and stock grew as the campus population grew, until the quarters in Taylor became extremely over- crowded, Mrs. Nahm said that she had always felt that the bookshop should be at street level, all on one floor level and completely under one roof. New Store Room The new bookshop’ storeroom was built on the left side of the building last spring. One end of the.storeroom will be. used as the hall book store warehouse. (Mrs. Carter, the only member of the bookshop staff who was here during the summer, supervised the move, which was just completed before Freshman Week.

Freshmen To Vocalize At First Step Singing Continued from Page 1 of ’59 will have an opportunity to shine in the hockey tryouts and a baseball game. If the weather permits, the first step sing of the year will be held in front of Taylor Hall at 7 ‘p.m. The step sing will serve as a warm-up for the freshmen and sophomores, who have been fran- tically memorizing songs for Pa- rade Night. | Parade Night will be held Tues- day evening, celebrating the end of the first day ofclasses. Led by the Firemen’s Band, and flanked by rows of lantern-bearing upper- classmen, the freshmen will. march to the field in back of Rhoads. There they will find a huge bonfire and the sophomores—with or with- out a parody of ’59’s song. The sophomores form a_ huge circle around the bonfire, and sing a par- ody.of the freshman song, if they have managed to find out what it is. If not, freshmen charge through the circle and form one of their own. : Parade Night marks the end of the first day of classes, and the end of the first of Bryn Mawr’s “formal” traditions.

The managers — Nancy Dyer, Ann Wake, Caty Westervelt, and Mary Jo Griffith—have come up with many new ideas which they believe greatly increase the Soda Fountain’s appeal to everyone. A newer, simpler method of charging food has been devised. Under this new system, all orders are given to the manager on duty, who then gives them to the crew, No more shouting customers and loose slips of paper flying about! In addition to the usual cakes, cokes, hoagies and sandwiches, the Soda Fountain will try. to serve something a little different. Fresh fruit and eggs are two possibili- ties. A new modern grill will be in place within a few days,. and there will be-new paint onthe floor. The Soda Fountain will be open from 1-2 Monday through Friday, from 4:15-5:15 Monday through Thursday, and from 9:30-11:00 Sunday through Thursday. Crews ‘are made up of student volunteers who are entitled to 40 cents worth of free food every time they work. Anyone who is inter- . ested may contact one of the man- agers or come down any time the Soda Fountain is open. and sign up.

The freshman who would not be interested in report- ing the number of new books in the library might be interested in reviewing one of those books, for example. This year “tryouts” for the pa- per will be revised somewhat to allow students with specific inter- ests to try out for different depart- ments of the paper. The girl who is interested in news reporting will turn in several news articles on events on the caxipus. The girl who would be interested in Work- ing with theatre and movie re- a views, would turn in a review of a Philadelphia play, or of a new! and important movie. who is interested in political writ- ing would turn in an article dis- cussing a current national prob- lem. The freshman who would like to write in several fields could turn in several different articles. Several weeks are allowed for students to write their tryouts, which are then judged by the edi- torial board. When the board The student | elects a student to the editorial staff, she then takes part in staff elections and is eligible herself for the policy-making editorial board after one semester. ; A meeting to discuss tryouts and announce the tryout dates will be held on Thursday, October 6, at 4:00 in the News ‘room. Any inter- ested freshman, with or without previous experience, is invited and urged to.come to the meeting. Students interested in proofread- ing and headline writing rather than news writing, are also invit- ed to the meeting. L.
