Parents’ Day Program Offers “~~ a: Parents’ Day The varied program of Bryn Mawr’s annual Parents’ Day (plan- ned by a committee of students and faculty members) wil! give parents of Mawrters an opportunity to meet faculty and administration, see the campus, and get a glimpse of both the everyday life and the creative efforts of students, Saturday, April 10, between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. A morning coffee and afternoon lectures will allow parents to meet faculty members and also to see them in-action. President McBride will speak to an assembly at 11:30 in Goohart. Throughout the day there will be time’ for guided or informal tours of the campus. (Parents and students are, however, requested to stay out of the classroom side of Taylor between 9 and 12, since language examinations will be in progress,) Campus guides will leave with Erdman Open for Visitation; New Dorm Enters Final Stages As part of Parents’ Day activi- ties, visiting parents may tour the nearly completed Erdman Hall, Bryn Mawr’s new dormitory. Interior furnishing and landscap- ing are among the only remain- ing steps before Erdman opens for occupancy this fall. The dorm, designed by architect Louis Kahn, is planned in a triple diamond arrangement. It features interior natural lighting effects. At present an interior decorator is preparing the public rooms. Special furniture designed to fit the bedrooms has already been ordered. Each bedroom of Erdman boasts the Bryn Mawr necessity, a win- dow seat. located either directly facing the windows or in a sideways position. Desks are like those in Rhoads, with one improvement. — Side shelves pull out for another piece of student apparatus, typewriters. For more wall space, bookcases will be higher and narrower than .those in other halls. All rooms will have white walls. Closets are described as wide and deep. The curtain issue is still undecided - original plans call for identical curtains in all rooms to give a uniform exterior view, but students are-protesting their right to select curtains ac- cording to individual tastes. ; a These fixtures are A possible compromise is the use of double sets, with inside curtains chosen by students but hidden from the outside by’ standard curtains, Most rooms are singles, but there are some end suites con- Sisting of two bedrooms and a living room. Adjoining singles may also be converted to bedroom-~ sitting room arrangements if the girls so desire. The cost for Erdman singles is the minimum rate of $1150. Suites carry the maximum rate of $1350. Reminders PARKING : Parents are reminded that there is no parking at Goodhart, or in the Goodhart-Rhoads driveway. Parking. is available at the Deanery, Merion and Erdman Halls, the Science Center, Wyndham paddock, and on both sides of Merion Avenue.

A residential college, to quote a familiar phrase, is more than an education; it is an educational experience. We study here, but we also build our existence around a nucleus of dorm, library and classrooms. Even the friendly Ville becomes a part of the Outside World that some- how lives its life without paper deadlines and reserve reading. One day is scarcely sufficient to introduce you to all our haunts and pastimes, but we can.try. We'll present you to our professors; take you to sample lectures, show you a student production, and give you campus tours. We don’t claim that this is a representative segment of Bryn Mawr. Unless you have seen a freshman corridor the night before six-week papers are due, or have tip-toed through the library reading room during exam week, you haven’t seen it all. Still, we’re delighted with the opportunity to bring our two worlds of home and school together, however briefly. We hope you’ll depart with at least a shred of comprehension of the Bryn Mawr way of life -- and we hope you enjoy your day, Exams The student curriculum committee has been the source of an unusual amount of concern all year. The change in the system of election of its chairman was brought about largely becauSe it was felt that a campus- wide discussion of the purpose and goals of the committee was necessary if it was to be of any real value to the undergraduate body. During the —— dinner system the candidates offered anumber of proposals by which the committee could fulfill its function. But these proposals were in the main suggested for next year. In the meantime, the present committee concerned itself with a project which it believed should be brought up and considered immediately. This project was self-scheduled exams. Right before vacation a detailed plan, Siaitiiding methods for execution, was presented to the faculty curriculum committee and discussed. Al- though no decision was taken, it seemed to be the consensus of the | LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Criticism - To the Editor: We would like to point out to the mysterious ‘‘admiring fresh- man” that the principal aim of criticism is to offer constructive advice on the problem-at-hand, This aim is not accomplished by only satirizing the flaws, if they can be called such, without offer- ing -a remedy for these faults. Secondly, a criticism must pre- sent the facts honestly - a cri- terion which ‘‘the admirer’ did not meet, The discussions she criticized, which havg also taken place in past years, were intended to give some idea of dach candi- date’s qualifications. When it was seen that this purpose was not being accomplished, the discussions were ended. The failure of the discussions is no reason for con- demning the attempt to use them. The ‘admiring. freshman’’ seems to deliberately ignore those ‘things which might invalidate her criticisms, The ‘‘voice from the crowd’? who said, ‘*That’s my roommate,’? succeeded her re- mark with a statement concerning her roommate’s qualifications for office. Almost any*freshman will say that class meetings have great- ly improved since the beginning of the. year. : . Amusing mistakes should be re- .garded as just that, not as faults which ruin the effect ‘ot the meeting. It is only when class members fasten on these mistakes, ignoring the organized handling of business, that chaos results, This chaos is caused by the actions of the class, not the officers, who cannot operate without our support. In conclusion, we would like to thank the, class officers for their effective representation of the class of ’68, They have carried out their responsibility in every agea of campus life, : Joyce Lincoln °68 Galen Clark ’68 Baiting? To the Editor: Re your’ editorial entitled *tRights’’ in the ‘*College News’’ of March 19, 1965 -- you have several uncomplimentary com- ‘ments to make about the memorial assembly called on Bryn Mawr Campus about the death of Rev. Reeb. You talk about the ‘‘Dis- turbing minority ... ardent agita-. tors ... (who) promote more vio- lent action ...’’ ‘However, nowhere in your news- paper do you report whatwasSAID by these “ardent agitators.’’ You do not even report that this meeting was even held. This kind of (probably unintentional) baiting, without ‘accurate accounts of what was said and in what context itwas said, is unforgivable when found in a respectable newspaper. This editoriak may be areaction to the rather intense and- vocal liberalism of some of your so- styled ‘‘not the most innocent... ardent agitators,’’ on the campus. Or it may be simply an attempt to take a safe stand. Of course, you do not want to disturb your readers by wholeheartedly en- dorsing demonstrations and re- quests that Federal Troops be sent to Alabama. This is- admittedly a radical approach, Whatever your reasons ‘for the editorial, please do not cast as- Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, Tramp Students Are Marching Again by Marion Scoon Mysterious messages have ap- peared lately all over campus. They generally read, ‘March On Washington to End The War in Vietnam,” or **Literature on Viet- nam Here,” or *‘Sign Up For Bus.”’ What is the MEANING of all this? The answer is simple; The Na- tional Students for a democratic Society (SDS), in cooperation with persions upon conscious agitators (who incidentally are much safer than non-conscious agitators, who simply explode in passionate monologue and are impossible to talk sensibly with) without pre- senting their statements to your readers. Sincerely, Marion Scoon ’68 Irresponsible? _ To the Editors: Probably the first mass meeting of its sort since the time’of the Suffragette movement was held on the Bryn Mawr campus on Friday, March 12, Over one hundred people came including several professors. Few events here attract that many people, but there was no article about it in THE COLLEGE NEWS of March 19. The only mention of the meet- ings was in an editorial entitled **Progress.’’ This piece said that **... a disturbing minority, not the most innocent of whom were ARDENT AGITATORS, seemed to treat the gathering as an excuse to promote MORE VIOLENT AC- TION ...%’ (emphasis is ours) We were there and we neither saw any ‘‘ardent agitators’’ nor heard any attempts to promote *‘more violent action.’’? Without an article reporting the events, it is impossible for us to know to what the editorial refers. We feel it misrepresents the gather- ing. We resent, as we are sure the others who were there do, the irresponsibility of THE COL- LEGE NEWS on this matter. Margaret Levi ’68 Alice Beadle ’°67 The editorial under attack did not mean to imply that either the organizers of the Mdtch 12 me- morial or a vast majority of the. listeners were lacking in respect. It said so. It only ques- tioned the attitudes of a few peo- ple who made no public state- ments of any kind, but Whose attitude’ in listening disturbed - ° us.

But the organization and planning has largely been done already by the student curriculum committee. Its plan includes all the details of adminigtration, and even examples of the necessary printed forms that could be used. Very little. additional work would be required to put the plan into operation. It seems a shame that such..a.worth-while idea should die or be indefinitely shelved when so little is required to set it up. It could still be done, if not for this spring, then certainly for next January. A Good Sign We applaud the decision of the faculty, made at their last meeting, to abolish the vacation registration procedure. Many of us have felt for a long time that this requirement was the last vestige of pre-honor sys- tem rulings; its removal allows a complete honor system to function at Bryn Mawr. Four years ago, mandatory class attendance became obsolete and the student was left to decide for herself whether or not to the people come from. near and Policy (SANE), is sponsoring a nationwide march on Washington to protest the war in Vietnam.

Bryn Mawr and Haver- ford are going on the same buses. Cost is (a mere) $4.50, but those of the body politic declaring them- selves impecunious will be suf- ficiently subsidized.

Board Announces Faculty Additions For Autumn, 1965 New appointments to the Coliege faculty were announced this week by the president’s office, The department of Biology, Economics, ‘Geology, German and History of Art received a total of six assis- tant professors, three lecturers, and two instructors. The Biology Department has been augmented by two assistant professors who both come to Bryn Mawr from positions as Postdoc- torate Fellows. Audrey Barnett, Ph.D, has been at Princeton, and William Hopkins, Ph.D, at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. George TreyZ, a Ph.D. candi- date at Cornell, joins the Econo-: mics Department as an assistant professor on joint appointment with ~ Haverford. Mr, and Mrs. William A, Craw- ford are both new assistant profes- sors in the Geology Department.

President elect Willis was social chairman of the college this year and vice president of her sopho- more class last year. Her plans include setting up a rotation sys- tem for Undergrad attendance so that class officers in addition to the President will go to meetings. This system, she feels, would make Undergrad *‘less of a secret society.”* She also intends to line up her graduation speakers this summer and in general establish the ‘commencement program early. The yearbook editors for the class of ’66 hope to emphasize **individuality -- the whole point of Bryn Mawr’ in the annual, Their primary intention is to use professionally done candid por- traits rather than formal portraits, not only to stress individuality, but, also to incorporate more variety into the yearbook as a whole. Jane and Mary; also foresee im- proved copy, including a definite activity organization section, in which the purposes and projects of various organizations will be elab- orated, Sophomores Plan Seniors, Prof Win Fulbrights To Study Abroad In Europe, Japan Bryn Mawr students are going abroad to study. Several sopho- ‘mores have plans to enroll in universities in France, Germany, England, Switzerland, and Japan. Most of the girls are going in regular Junior Year Abroad pro- grams, but several are taking a year off to study independently. Germany seems to have the most irresistable call to the rov- ing student. Under the auspices of . the Wayne State program, Nancy Borley and Cynthia Walk are go- ing to Munich and Penny Milbouer to Freiburg where she will live in an international dormitory and take Gerinan courses at the Uni- versity and special language courses with American profes- , SOTS. Also going to Germany is a native-born German, Sibyl Klee- man, who is bound for the archae- ology department of the University of Mainz, France is also attracting “her share of foreign students, In a program operated by the wife of the director of ‘*Maxim’s’’ in: Paris, Kathy Grossman and Elana Klausner will be taking classes at the Sorbonne and attending seminafs with such eminent Frenchmen as Sartre and Mauriac’s son, At the University of Strassbourg will be ‘Patience Meigs, who will ~ be staying with a French family, and studying art and music. Schools in the University of London are welcoming Andrea Saltzman, Anna Hartmann, and Margaret Eggers.

Netherlands, For Studies in Fulbright grants for graduate study and research abroad have already been awarded to six Bryn Mawr seniors and to Eugene V, Schneider, Associate Professor of Sociology. The list of Fulbright awards is far from complete and may not be entirely known until the summer, Harriet Swern plans to teach in college or go into the foreign service, and will study next year at the Institute of Political Studies in Bordeaux, taking courses in Russian and diplomatic history. Barbara Thatcher, a History of Art major, will study Romanesque Italian art in- dependently under an advisor af- filiated with the University of Rome. She probably will not go on * in History of Art, but is inter- ested imarily in teaching element school, Both S Harris and Rolly Phillips a so winners of Wil- son fellowships, and both will:go into college teaching in their fields. Rolly will-study~ classical history and literature at Cambridge next year, and then go on to the Uni- versity of Washington, Sally will be working on an as yet undefined project in Bronze Age Archae- ology, particularly that of Anatolia, under Professor Tahsin Ozguc of the University of Ankara. Dr. Schneider holds a grant for research at Eindhoven in the researching at the Philips industrial plant there, and will probably also teach one lec- ture course. Other Fulbright grants will probably be announced throughout the spring. So far, however, two Bryn Mawr seniors will study in Latin America next year, Eugenie Ladner, now president of the Latin American Club and of the Senior’ Class, Will’ study at the University of Cuencain Ecuador, doing particular re- search into the problems and political role of the municipal councils in colonial Ecuador, Ar- lene Joy will work on a study of H’ford News Erroneously Notes | Merger of Economics Faculties by Darlene Preissler Contrary to the statement made in an article of the March 19 issue of the HAVERFORD NEWS, the Bryn Mawr and Haverford econom- ics department have not ‘tmerged.’? Another erroneous sentence contained in the article was that Professor Holland Hunter will ‘“‘chair the new department.”’ Although both of the above cita- tions from the article are false assumptions, it is true that the economics departments of Bryn Mawr and Haverford have recently decided to ‘‘federate.’’ Hardly a move toward uniting both depart, ments under one head, however, each college will retain its own economics chairman: Professor Morton Baratz of Bryn Mawr and professor Hunter of Haverford. The chief purpose of the federation, in the words of Professor Hunter, is to ‘‘make joint use of faculty strengths on each side while pre- serving the flexibility and indepen- dence that we all value.’’ . Several significant changes will result from. the federation, how- ever. In addition to the professors currently teaching economics at Haverford and Bryn Mawr, an assistant professor, George I. Treyz, has been jointly appointed by the two departments, The first « such joint appointee, he may beone _ ae ‘Mawr and Haverford. of several in the future. Another change will be the elimi- nation of all duplicate courses above the introductory level, that is, courses in economics on the same topic now offered at both Bryn Different courses, probably four at each col- lege, will be taught. Thus; most classes will have mixed enroll- - ments and there will most likely be a larger number of students in each class, Only the introductory courses will be separate; and in spite of certain variances in text- books, these courses will be very similar at both colleges. Two other changes not directly connected with the departments’ decision . to federate will also occur. Discontinuing the comp con- ference ineconomics at Bryn Mawr will be one. In place of this course previously required for all econ- omics majors, those majoring in that subject will instead be offered an intermediate economic theory course. At Haverford, Philip W. Bell, formerly a full-time professdr of economics, will assume the title of Adjunct Professor and instruct in only one course per semester. A lecturer, Mrs, Chiou-Shuang Yan, will teach the remainder of the time which Professor Bell would pre- viously have taught, Another Haverford professor not yet men-~<~ tioned will be Professor Howard. .

Two Professors Win Guggenheims Two members of the faculty, Hugues Leblanc, professor in philosophy, and Mrs, Willard King, chairman of the Spanish depart- ment, are recipients of Guggen- ‘heim fellowships. Mr. Leblanc will spend this sum- mer and the first part of his year proofreading his book on logic, TECHNIQUES OF DEDUCTIVE INFERENCE, Then he will travel to southern France,-and wind up in Italy and Spain for the summer of 1966. His main project will be to complete his book, A STUDY OF GENTZEN’S CALCULI OF -SEQUENCE, - for which the grant was awarded. Mrs. King will use her Guggen- heim grant to study the works of a 17th century Spanish playwright, Juan Ruiz de Alarc6n, and will be absent from the college from February, 1966. to the end of Jan- uary, 1967. Alarcén is an enigmatic literary figure who has never been exten- sively studied. Born in Mexico, he moved to Spain at the age of 20. His 24 plays, written in Spain, contain no mention of his life in Mexico or of the New World. Critics offer conflicting inter- pretations of this feature of his works. Some attribute the special qualities of his plays to his Mexi- can background, although Alarcon himself never directly refers to it. The opposing school claims that no single aspect of his art can be explained by his Mexican experi- ence. In her study, Mrs. King hopes to discover more of Alarcén and of the structure of his works. Calendar, Exams Prime Proposals For Curriculum At the March 22 joint meeting of the faculty and undergraduate Cur - riculum Committees, discussion centered on two topics: the cal- endar of the academic year andthe possibility of self-scheduled ex- aminations. The major proposal was to lengthen the first semester by add- ing days in September and omitting the entire Thanksgiving vacation as well as two days of the Christmas vacation. Should this plan be put into effect, any of three changes could result: (1) No classes after Christmas, one week for reading, one and one-half weeks for exams, and a three-day holiday; (2)-Three days of classes after Christmas, one-half week,for reading, one week for exams, and a one-week holiday; or’ (3) One week for reading, one week for exams, and also one week for a holiday. In each case, midsemester quizzes would be ‘before Thanksgiving and papers due at the.end of the Christmas vacation. Discussion of the second topic, that of self-scheduled exams under a system similar to the one of Haverford, emphasized as one point in favor of the arrangement , that it would allow a great decrease in both tension and exhaustion. Also, such a system would give all students an equal opportunity to study for their exams, Inregardto the educational values of such self- discipline, comments were both —! favorable and unfavorable. ge Page Four COLLEGE NEWS ad April 9, 1965 Students Protesting Vietnam War Attend Teach-In at Swarthmore by Edna Perkins About fifty Bryn Mawr students who attended a teach-in atSwarth- more heard American policy in Vietnam attacked as ‘‘outlawry’’ and ‘‘a failure,’’ and defended as a ‘cautious’? policy leading to ‘‘the independence of South Viet- nam.” The teach-in, an all night meet- ing to consider the Vietnam war, was conducted simultaneously at Swarthmore, Temple, and Penn, About 2500 students attended. The first speaker, Helen Lamb, a writer on Vietnam who has spent two years in that country, called our policy ‘‘a total failure’’ be- cause it has intervened in a civil war and attempted to ‘‘create a country out of nothing.’’ She stated that most of the Vietnamese people still ‘want to reunite the north and south. The present leader of the north, Ho. Chi Minh, was a nationalist leader with support from Communists and non-Com- munists alike. If Viet Nam were reunited under Ho, she added, nationalism would keep it in- dependent of Red China. She added that our present policy antagonizes most Asians, including our allies. After Mrs, Lamb’s address, the assembly listened to the broad- Ire Arises Over Eyer: A Fable for Our Time by Margery. Aronson Once upon a time there was a . men’s college on the Main Line, Among the students at this college was an individual who thought that he could do things for his college if he were elected president of its governing body. Yet, soon after the election of this student, who proposed some very idealistic concepts when he campaigned, the realities and the responsibilities of the officeholder to his electorate became pain- fully obvious, One’s .ideals had to be compromised in many cases, and forced moderation was not a pleasant prospect. Moreover, the constituency no longer seemed as concerned with the issues as they had seemed at the time of the election, Because the college’s traditidn SAC to Evalute Student. Opinions In Questionnaire As a result of the Social Ac- tion Committee’s seminar series on *tthe meaning of a liberal arts education,’? members of the com- mittee are preparing a question- naire to assess student opinion on problems facing the college community, One of the cabin of the ques- ‘tionnaire will be the academic calendar. The committee is in- terested in gathering suggestions for changing the schedule. _ It also hopes to find out the con- sensus on.the possibility of in- stituting a° reading period and improving coordination with . the Haverford calendar. The questionnaire will also be concerned with examination pro- cedures and student -faculty re- lations. The Curriculum Committee has submitted several specific ques- tions on the future role of that committee, and these quéstions will be included in the SAC ques- tionnaire. : An important set of questions will ask for opinions on the struc- ture of the student government, * and the possibility of changing its system of representation or making it more centralized. Un- dergrad has considered creating a committee similar to Haver- ford’s Committee of Thirty-six, which was initiated to gather stu- dent opinion and suggest reforms. Other topics on the question- naire will include the possibilities of meal exchanges and bus trans- portation with Haverford. The Social Action Committee also hopes to gather opinion on student employment on campus and sug- gestions for reconstituting the food advocated the student’s right to speak before his colleagues in open meeting, one day this pres- ident stood up and began to dis- cuss the college and. its faults, After an oration of considerable length, he announced his resigna- tion and ceased to be the titular leader of the college community, This unexpected event shocked the citizens of the men’s college, for it created a situation hitherto unprecedented, And everafter? Did the former leader succeed in stimulating the controversy which he felt could and would produce that which he had conceived? Or, did he merely create a chaotic situation from which nothing pos- itive could result? Although this ‘account reads as fiction, it is factual, The names: Haverford College’s Joe Eyer, re- cently elected Students’ Council President. The facts: at meeting, Tuesday, April 6, 1965, Joe Eyer spoke and concluded his talk with his resignation, The results: a mass meeting of the Haverford stu- * dent body, at which the formal let- ter of Eyer’s resignation was read and an announcement was made of procedure for a new election, In addition to these two pronounce- ments, members of the Council presented three plans which Eyer had spearheaded: a. plan for a council of 36, a group composed of volunteers to represent dorm segments with .the purpose of ob- taining a campus wide consensus on any given issue; It was suggested that Bryn Mawr establish a similar organization; secondly, they pre- sented a plan for a course system of 5-5-4-4, based on the concept that advanced courses necessarily required more preparation than lower level courses, providing for more intensive work in the last two years; thirdly, there was a proposition for the elimination of grades calling for. individual writ- ten evaluations by professors and incorporating each student’s self evaluation, Discussion by faculty and stu- dents followed this presentation, No decisions were reached, nor was it clear, whether or not this was a meeting of the council or of the committee of 36. This committee had been presented as a suggestion and at that time was without by-laws or representation from all dorm areas, Ex-Council president Har- rison Spenser asked if the speakers represented Council, The reply alluded to the importance of the issues presented and the relative unimportance of who presented the material, «= The “blitzkrieg’’ nature of the question and all its ramifications has produced an emotion charged issue. Its import is far-reaching, affecting Bryn Mawr students as well as those from Haverford.

Then he offered to enter ‘“un- conditional discussions’’ for peace, and to give economic aid to all of Southeast Asia. The assembly at Swarthmore listened in grim silence as the President justified his policies. They laughed when he spoke of his boyhood in Texas, and applauded his general statements about peace. But there was sarcasm in the applause, as if they were ‘acknowledging an irony, not prais- ing a policy. The next speaker was Franz Gross, Chairman of the Political Science Department at Pennsyl- vania Military College. He said the -realities of politics forbid a withdrawal now because of our commitment. Claire Wilcox, Chairman of the Economics Department at Swarth- more, said that a military victory for us is unlikely, since we lack the support of the peasants in the south, Of the alternatives open to us, he said, the policy just set forth by the Presidentwas best by being a combination of. ‘‘the carrot and the stick,’? instead of complete reliance on force. He predicted that Vietnam will have an independent Communist government, and ‘‘we will ac- cept. it.’’ President Johnson’s speech ‘‘marked a great step for- ward,’’ he said. In answer to his contention that the United States has to remain in Vietnam to save face, Mr. Davidon of Haverford suggested that preserving our image does not justify killing. and bombing.

Students Visit Tougaloo, Clark | As Part of Exchange Program by Mary Thom, '66 Bryn Mawr and Haverford stu- dents visited Tougaloo College near Jackson, Mississippi and Clark College in Atlanta, Georgia during Spring Vacation as part of this year’s exchange program. Partici- pating in the Tougaloo exchange from March 31 to April 5 were Mary Lou Kjeldsen and Mary Thom of Bryn Mawr and Bob Hillier and Dave Watts of Haverford. The trip to Clark College lasted the week of March 27, and the students in- volved were Taddy Gresham, Kitty Taylor, Clark DeSchwWeinitz and Glen Nixon, The second half of the exchange program will take place Clark College Exchanges Find Complacency on Rights Issue by Tatty Gresham, '66 and Kitty Taylor, '67 During Spring Vacation we at- tended Clark College, a small Ne- gro liberal arts school in Atlanta, © Our purpose was to learn some- thing about higher education for Negroes in the South, and about the reactions of the students to their situation. The academic qual- ity of Clark seemed to us only average. Surprisingly, the general atmosphere was primarily col- legiate and was not overshadowed by the civil rights issue. . The classes we attended were ‘for the most part large and infor- mal, Oral reports, student ques- tions, and discussions played a far greater part than at Bryn Mawr, where the lecture reigns supreme. Students did not hesitate to express their opinions or confusion, Rather than diversified supplementary reading, most courses employed a textbook, Quite often the lectures were based entirely upon the text. Numerous quizzes were given, often composed of picayune mul- tiple choice or identification ques- tions again based upon the text. Although there was a heavy em- phasis upon grades, academic pressure seemed far less than at Bryn Mawr, We found that a great majority of the students were sociology, education, or psychology majors. A lesser number elected science and the traditional liberal arts $350.00 “Seance” Absorbing Drama Even on a Dry Afternoon -by Nancy McAdams, '65 The thing is, see, is that you’ve just gotta see SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON at the Bryn Mawr Theatre!! The raindrops fall slowly into a grimy puddle on a grimy street. © The puddle mirrors a grimy Vic- torian mansion giving ominous warning of the eerie drama about to unfold within. The house looks like all those ugly dilapidated mansions of a by- gone era; the kind present in sub- urbs everywhere, the kind remin- iscent of better days, the kind always leading one to imagine strange and sinister happenings which have no part inthe humdrum activities of daily life. This house, indeed, is the backdrop for a very strange and sinister situation. Kim Stanley and Richard Atten- borough, as the couple about whom the story revolves, fit into this .backdrop perfectly. She was once a beauty, with a still beauti- ful face reflecting the powerful ‘emotions and strange visions which completely dominate her, and move her to believe she can make con- tact, as a medium, with the souls of the dead, She holds seances, in a dark room with only a single candle burning in the center of the table, - and conveys messages from ‘the dead to their relatives still on earth, Her husband is a quiet tortured man, who is painfully aware of the ~~ twisted nature of her mina, He ac- quiesces to her every wish, does all that she tells him witha feeling of hopelessness. He has giveninto her, and accepts the unreal condi- tions of their life as inevitable, . ‘It is only with the carrying out of her recently evolved plan to kidnap a child Sitates, This is one step too far, for it will involve them with the world outside, its obvious disapproval and reaction against their way of life, and the serious consequences if their plan should fail, He tries vainly to dis- suade her to refuse tocomply, but then, finally, he gives in to her in this as he has in everything else. The story from here on is com- pletely absorbing and terrifying. It moves swiftly toward a gripping climax and leaves one exhausted and overcome, both by the fascin- ation and suspense of this strange tale, and bythe magnificent and powerful performance of Kim Stan- ley! tonite THRU MONDAY » BROWNEE McGEE also Carol Crist rFRET 1902 SANSOM STREET, LO 7-9640 ern 9:15, 11; FRI. & SAT. 8:30, 10, 12 i ~ FLY NONSTOP INTO YOUR FIELD via BERKELEY SCHOOL Berkeley School is take-off point for responsible, well-paid secretarial positions in glamour fields—advertising, retailing, airlines; and scholarly fields — banking, government, research, medicine, publishing, arts.

Admissions Office Participates In Negro Scholar Programs by Lynne. Lackenbach The civil rights issue has brought increased attention to the problem of educational op- portunities for Negroes. For many years it had been the rare Negro who cut obtain, or would even apply fo called ‘‘prestige’ colleges, par- ticularly the Ivy League and the Seven Sisters schools, y Recognizing ¥ difficulties posed by finances, educational preparation, and social back- ground, these colleges have made extra efforts over the past few years to encourage applications by qualified Negroes and to provide scholarship funds for them. Mrs, Broughton, Director of Ad- missions, summed up the problem for Bryn Mawr by saying, ‘‘We did not realize how much en- couragement Negroes needed to even dare apply.’’ A pioneer in the field of equal educational opportunities, Bryn Mawr has had Negro undergradu- ates since 1928, and has generally numbered Negroes among its grad- uate students, But it is only in the past few years that fairly Significant numbers of Negroes have applied. ‘‘Now they are more awakened than ever before to the opportunities,’’? says Mrs, Brough- ton, ‘‘and of course few realized that we could offer big scholar- ships.’? Bryn Mawr has joined several programs to gain funds for such scholarships, and to find and en- courage. qualified applicants. The newest of these plans to improve , admission to the so-.
