March 5, 1965 Committee Revises Hell Week, — McDowell to Preside at Self-Gov; q Welcomes Students’ Comments After two consecutive Monday evening meetings, freshman and sophomore representatives from each hall have considered criticisms and suggestions on Hell Week, and _ proposed - certain revisions which will be presented to Undergrad. The group agrees that the Hell Week tradition is essentially worthwhile, but that its purpose needs more careful definition and its structure, closer coordination, The purpose of the suggested changes is to remove the elements of fear and persecution from Hell Former Mawrter Arrested in Miss. Nancy Sours, a former Bryn Mawr student, spent five days last week in jail in Moss Point, Mississippi. — She was arrested when she tried to eat with a biracial group at a lunch counter in a drug store, the Associated Press reports. She was charged with *trefusing to obey a police command,”’ Arrested with Nancy were a recent graduate of Pembroke College and four Moss Point Negroes. Three of the Negroes are still in jail, unable to raise $750 each for baile Bond money for ~ Nancy was sent by her family after the court refused to accept a property bond offered by local Negroes. While in jail, the prisoners en- gaged in a hunger strike. Nancy was in the class of ’65 but decided to spend this year in the South before returning to school, Undergrad Votes e e That ‘Big Five’ e * B e Will Remain Five Possible changes in representa- tional membership and status of the Curriculum Committee were con- sidered by the Executive Council of Undergrad at the meeting last Monday night. Reflecting concern for stronger underclassman participation in the work of the Committee, sug- gestions were made that represen- tatives from dormitories be added. Present membership includes two upperclassman representatives from each major department, and two from each class. The argument in favor of the addition stated that due tothe dorm ‘ the campus, dorm- reps are a more effective means of both receiving sugges- tions and keeping a greater number of students informed. However, Chairman Margie Aronson pointed out that the change would bring membership to at least 47, and might impair the Committee’s ef- ficiency. It was decided that the question be referred to the’Curriculum Committee this week, and that Un- dergrad will vote next Monday tak- ing into consideration the recom- mendation it submits. Executive Council voted to re- tain the Curriculum Committee in the Undergraduate Association, in- stead of elevating it to the position of an autonomous organization. sie. vote was based on the idea _ that any. change..in. status would ngt havea beneficial effect on its functioning, i Week, thereby making it a period of creative competition between the freshman and sophomore classes. Hopefully, such an image would encourage all freshmen to partici- ‘pate and would avoid individual incidents of persecution. The central committee, begun this year, would be enlarged and strengthened by including one soph-' omore representative from each hall, plus the sophomore class president, vice president and traditions chairman. Sophomores from. each hall would submit state- ments of their Hell Week themes to the committee before the sem- ester break inorderto avoid theme duplication and to make certain that themes are inthe realm of fantasy. In addition, the committee would encourage sophomore participa- tion, the degree of which determines the failure of Hell Week in any hall. It was decided that. a positive approach should be taken by sopho- mores, juniors and seniors in their Hell Week tales, which form the basis of freshman preconception of the activities involved, Rather than stressing punishment and persecu- tion, they would better stress wit, creativity and competition, Concrete rule proposals include: 1) Hell Week would begin Thurs- day evening by delaying freshman show rehearsal that night; Ac- ~ tivities, by being shorter, would reach their peak Friday rather than Thursday, and would prevent the common Friday afternoon letdown, 2) Thursday evening sophomores would present their introductory skit, hand out costumes and make assignments for Friday. Fri- day morning freshmen would be in costume and would present their songs at lunch, The afternoon would be spent preparing skits and retal- iation, while the freshmen who need to sleep or study would be able to do so by signing up for location in the library, in their rooms, or with other freshmen. At 4:00 all skits and activities would be per- formed, followed by the trial. 3) The demerit system would not be used, as some freshmen felt it became too personal, 4) Punishments and activities would be assigned to groups of at least two people, or individually only with great. care, to protect those who are naturally more quiet or retiring. 5) The sympathetic sophomore ‘would contact eachfreshman inher hall on Thursday and -Friday briefly. Complaints could be easily aired by this means and freshmen would appreciate the concern shown. The hall president, not directly involved in Hell Week, could speak to the freshmen as a group, inviting them to see her with complaints. 6) All freshmen would be blind- folded during the same hours Fri- day -- lunch to 7:00 7) Friday night’s bedtime would be. set officially at 12:30 for all freshmen, with no group activity (i.e retaliation) allowed between that hour and 8:00 Saturday morn- ing. They would be told that for pur- poses of health, they would need a full night’s sleep, with the show and punishments ahead. 8) Individual freshmen would still be allowed to abstain from Hell Week activities but would know this through personal contact, not of- ficial notification. é success or. Johns Elected Undergrad Prexy Popie Johns is the new presi- dent of the Bryn Mawr Under- graduate Association as a result of campus-wide elections held this week. Acceding to the presi-. dency of the Self-Government Association is Allie McDowell. The new Undergrad president summed up her reaction to the election: ‘*I am awed,’’ She added that, with the reorganized Cur- riculum Committee to take care of our home problems, something should now be done to help boost Bryn Mawrters’ social life -- ‘Something which really involves students’ interests more- than mixers,’® she said, ‘I think the plans for turning the College Inn into a student union are parti- cularly important.’” Allie McDowell had this to say about her election to the presi-~— dency of Self-Gov: ‘‘I1 am honored more than anything, and I hope that the students will support me in helping me to do all they would like me to do,’’ “Cabbs Denton, LiesaStamm and Caroline Willis were also candi- dates for the Undergrad presi- The New Regime: Allie McDowell, Self-Gov President; and Popi Johns, Undergrad President. v President; and Popie Campus Elections to Continue With V.P., Secretary Contests Campus Elections will continue next week with the sélection of vice presidents and secretaries for the Undergraduate Association and the Self-Government A’ssociation. Candidates for the position of vice president of Undergrad are: Erdman Will Add Finishing Touches With Furnishings Decisions concerning furniture, lighting. and similar details in- dicate that Erdman is progressing rapidly toward completion. An interior decorator is presently de- ciding upon the furniture for the public rooms and plans for bed- room furnishings are now definite. The students’? maximum comfort and convenience were the main determining factors inthe choice of bedroom furniture. The. desks will be similar to those in Rhoads, but with one addition: a side shelf will pull out to hold a typewriter. In. order to provide more wall space, the bookcases are to be higher and more narrow. Every room in Erdman has a window seat. The rates for rooms in the new dorm as posted by Dean Marshall are the maximum fee for suites , and the minimum fee for all other rooms, It is hoped there will be an even distribution of students living there both asto their classes and_as to the dorms from which | they will be moving. Liesa Stamm, Cabbs Denton, Caroline Willis and Helen.Robin- son, Babs Keith and Sarah Matthews are nominees for secretary of Undergrad. Contenders for. the office of Self-Gov vice president are: Mary Daubenspeck, Sheila Dowling, Jean Kann, Kit Howard and Celia Rumsey. Claudia Mangum, Susan Harrah, Marilyn Williams, Charlotte Austin and Emily Singer are candidates for secretary of Self- Gov. Presidents of each class will hold class meetings Monday at which all the candidates will be introduced. Students will have an additional opportunity to meet and talk to the Undergrad vice presi- dential nominees at a tea Monday night. The exact days for balloting have not yet been decided, but will be announced in each hall by the Undergrad representatives.

At present Curriculum Committee contains one rep from each of the 28 major departments and two reps from each class. A new suggestion proposes the introduction of dorm reps, This week the committee will meet to draft a proposal of its own which will be submitted to Undergrad for a vote. It is obvious that the-reps from major departments are indispensable to a committee that must keep in close contact with existing. situations and problems in all segments of the curriculum. Their large number, however, demands caution in-the addition of 12 new members. ~ A combination of major, dorm and hall reps would enlarge the group to an unwieldly size. The issue emerges: would dorm reps be more valuable as representatives and campus contacts than class reps? With the present class reps, the committee is assured of opinions from the freshmen and sophomores, If these members were replaced by dorm reps, the committee would find itself composed almost ex- clusively of juniors and seniors. This would shift the emphasis from more general, required courses to the more specialized major cotrses ~- those usually taken by upperclassmen. To maintain representation of all classes -- particularly the fresh- men.and sophomores, who can reap the benefits of any reforms achieved by the committee -- we advocate the continuation of the present system of major and class reps. This balance of lower and upperclassmen, of general and specific course interests, will keep the committee repres- entative of opinion from all areas of the student bodv. A New Dimension Haverford’s recently elected student government officials have become the center of an academic controversy on that campus -- a controversy which directly concerns Bryn Mawr, They are.attempting to give a new “dimension to an old philosophy of learning; they are attempting to com- bine theory and practicability. The theory is the widely held ideal of the student _that learning should be conscientious, creative and individual. Specific applications of this theory to Haverford, and, if the plan succeeds there, to Bryn Mawr, would create a kind of academic Utopia. ° Among the proposals for such a system are more individual work with .. professors for students in advanced level courses where the student- faculty ratio is small (1-15), changes in the present marking system at Haverford which would lead, eventually, to the elimination of the conventional numerical grading system, and a program to integrate the academic lives of the two campuses by encouraging more students to . take courses at the other college. This last point is aimed toward an expansion of diversification of the course selection, and, if another - aspect of it were realized, introductory level courses would be taught by a pool of professors from both schools. The academic philosophy which forms the basis of this plan has been widely articulated by students on our two campuses. Now that it is being given practical impetus, the question of its feasibility becomes crucial. It is argued by the propapents of this plan that abolishing a conventional marking system will give the student more freedom for creative in- dividual work and that he will learn for the sake of knowledge. This version, is, of course, the ideal. A competitive grading system has always functioned as an impetus to. the inactive ‘student; further, the world of higher education still requires some practical, competitive means of evaluating its possible students, Thus, at its inception, perhaps it would be better for us at BMC to consider the other two points of the plan, especially the ideasfor agreater academic communication between the two schools to expand and diversify curriculum. Since this plan is already in effect, broadening its scope shouldn’t be difficult. The success of Haverford’s academic honor system has made it a focal point for scholastic innovation and linked its name with academic freedom. The plan now proposed is not any less “‘radical’’ than the honor system extension. However, its success or failure depends on the willingness. of the student body to practice such an academic philosophy. Kalon The Bryn Mawr-Princeton production of Hippolytus Sunday afternoon was a significant success, winning enthusiastic response from the audience who nearly filled McCarter Theater. The Greek production, which will be repeated here on May 1, was a student-inspired idea, and congratulations go to Pilar Richardson and Anne Lovgren, who helped transform a casual conversation last fall with Princeton friends into the polished performance given Sunday. At that time, the two Bryn Mawr juniors contacted Cynthia Gardiner, ’63, presently a research assistant at the Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton, and persuaded her to direct the production. The significance of the production and its success is manifold. The usual isolation of Bryn Mawr from other schools was completely broken down with enthusiasm on both sides. The fact that students came from a variety of colleges ranging from Wellesley to NYU furthered the depth - and value of the exchange aspect of the production and indicates real willingness on the part of other schools to contribute to such an ex- change. Most significant of all, the fact that the production owes its - ‘existence to students themselves is clear proof that any isolation we _ stiffer is entirely our own fault.

This need not be so. ' Students must realize the power they could command, as members of a democratic society, if. they demanded it and used it maturely. American college administra- tions traditionally function ‘in loco parentis,’? a position which puts students ‘in loco liberorum”? until age 22.

Margery Aronson, ’65 Chairman, Curriculum Committee Persistance. To the Editor: © The emotions centering around Curriculum Committee have re- cently run the gamut from heated “debate to indifferent.disdain within Undergrad itself. Perhaps there is an object lesson implicit in this progress of emotion - for those sufficiently concerned about Un- dergrad to follow its . activities. There is aresurgent, spasmodic pressure for change at BMC. Not for specific change, but merely for change, Too often those who initiate motions for change do not take cognizance of the responsibility they have thereby assumed. The result is an unfinished project, idea, etc., left to be completed (more often discarded) by a dis- interested group which, handi- capped by indifference, cannot do the idea justice. Perhaps -it is time that **leaders’’ and agitators assumed the responsibility to: 1. realize that committment to a project must continue through the project’s completion; 2. examine the ultimate consequences of a change before initiating it; 3. spend time finding innovations to_ satisfy existing needs rather than creating (or hypothesizing about) needs to suit their projects.

Richmond |. Lattimore, Paul Shorey Professor of Greek, will discuss the ‘‘main issues?’ involved in the play this -Satur- day at .8:30 p.m. at. the Ethical Culture Hall, 1906 South Ritten-' house Square in Philadelphia, Dr, Lattimore will discuss the themes in the Antigone legend as treated by Anouilh and by Sophocles. He feels that Anouilh always keeps the Greek original in mind, but has ‘**modernized’’ .the tragedy by changing its tone and emphasis. By eliminating the religious aspect of Sophocles’ play -- the-emphasis—upon- Zeus and divine law -- Anouilh has focused upon Antigone’s action as a per~ sonal decision: Antigone dis- obeys the order of Creon only because she cannot live with her- self otherwise. Anouilh’s version is also pre- sented, Dr. Lattimore feels, ‘‘in a quieter key’’ than the Greek original, not even Antigone, seems todisplay really violent feelings of anger or indignation during the play, andthe unwillingness of Creon to have Antigone put to death again places emphasis on Antigone’s struggle as a personal one: the moral question is certainly the same in both ver- sions, but it is perhaps less definitely resolved by Anouilh than by Sophocles. The Philadelphia Drama Guild will present Anouilh’s play from Wednesday, March 17 (a special preview), through Saturday, March 27, at 8:30 p.m., with Saturday Matinees at 2:30 p.m., at the Playhouse, 1714 Delancey Street.

Perhaps the pathos in her speech. seemed a trifle startling at first; however one must re- member that Phaedra was a child bride who had come to understand the full portent of incestuous love and dishonor, In the light of these facts, Diana Willis’ presentation was superb, Bill Janeway, who played the part of Theseus, is to be com- mended for his regal and stylistic interpretation of the role, Whether fistening to the pleas of the Chorus or calling upon Poseidon to curse Hippolytus, Bill Janeway retained the . power. and. magnetism of a kingly figure.

Then came the skylarking trips up to Princeton for dinner in the middle of the week. Business first, of course, but later witticisms and general fun. It was at one of these meetings that the Princetonians put their foot down as to which Bryn Mawrter should play which goddess. ‘FIESTA NIGERIAN AND GUATEMALAH NECKLACES TOTT LANCASTER AVE.

The opening movement was: impressive. after the initial shock of the rapid pace. The increased tempo lightened the music somewhat, but it also en- abled the orchestra to sustain the tension stated in the music. The second and third movements were perhaps less successful, At times the orchestra appeared tobe fight- ing the conductor. The net result was a considerable loss of con- trol, and, of course, of effect. The final movement was particu- larly inspired, however. The open- ing crescendoes were strong and secure, Dr. Reese’s conducting was extremely precise inthe diffi- cult pizzicato passages. As a consequence they were clean and dynamic, showing remarkable con- trol on the parts of both the con- ductor and the orchestra. The LIEUTENANT KIJE SUITE of‘ Prokofiev, conducted by John Corley, was an ambitious under- taking. The tone of the work is one of hoax and cynicism and is clearly illuminated in the open- ing movement, the ‘*Birth of Kije.”’ Unfortunately the joke was on the orchestra in the second movement, This section fell flat; the melan- choly mood indicated in the pro- gram notes gave way to a situation which was comically“tragic. In the tradition of Humpty Dumpty it. required a trumpet and saxo- phone duet to put the pieces to- gether again, It is a tribute to the strength and lyricism construed by the offstage trumpet player that he seemed to draw conductor, orchestra and soloists into a single unit. Control was again re-estab- the rhythms, which resemble those employed by Milhaud, were pro- nounced and comprehensible, The humor of Prokofiev was recovered with the ‘‘Burial of Kije’’ and the recall of the original themes. Generally the orchestra reacted beautifully to the totally different conducting techniques of Reese and Corley. It was a pleasure to observe both men work and to note the different effects stimu- lated by the leadership of each. ~ lished during the ‘‘Troika.” Here, - LA 5-0443 LA 5-6664_ PARVIN’S PHARMACY James P.

Mrs, McCaffery went on to explain that this meant that students ought to realize that the faculty sometimes knew best, specifically concerning matters of curriculum requirements, She defended the traditional lib- eral arts goal of educatign; that of a specialization in depth still allows for a general educa- tion, The importance of a general education, she said, needs to be stressed more in this age of specilization, This is to be done by realizing the purpose of a general education, which is to become sensitive of your own powers in various fields, that is, to learn what you’re not good at, ‘Also if you haven*’t directed your imagination and energies enough to have some “acquaintance with ~ fields-other than your major, then you can’t really understand anybody whose life is devoted to pursuits other than your own, Mr. Davidon and Mr, Baratz | Campus Events | Saturday, March 6 - Washington and Lee University Glee Club will sing four ‘*Songs of Youth” by Gal with the Bryn Mawr Chorus under. the direction of Robert Goodale and Robert Ste- wart in Goodhart at 8:30, Tuesday, March 9 Dean Marshall and the deans of Haverford and Swarthmore will lead a discussion on ‘‘In Loco -Pareritis’’ for S.A.C, in the Com- mon Room at 8:30, Thursday, March 11 The Italian Club will present Angeline Lagrasso and *‘ Readings in Dante” in the Ely Room at 8:30, MOBILES FRESH FROM OVERSEAS ape OLD SOL TOM THE CAT THE MERRY-GO-ROUND continued the discussion by directing the topic more partic- ularly to Bryn Mawr. Mr, Davidon stated that possibly all courses should be unrequired. He felt that the purpose of course require- ments (stopping the dangers of over specialization and alleviating the aifficulties of completely unguided students) may not really apply at BMC, and that there could conceiv- ably be students to whom these requirements would be an undue burden, Mr. Baratz expanded this by definitely stating that there should Swimmers Sink ‘Neath Waves; be no requirements, but that wide sampling should be encouraged. He said that too many students con- sider their first two years as an- obstacle course with the point to hurdle all the requirements and get them out of the way. So. the stu- dent who knows his major interest, is just marking time. These faculty members did agree, however, on the main goals of a Bryn Mawr education; to teach us how to teach ourselves and to know ourselves as individuals and as human beings.

Lynette worked last. summer as a recreation director and child care worker at the Wallingford Home for emotionally disturbed boys. The daily routine there in- cluded supervising the boys at meals and bedtime, as well as planning special afternoon pro- grams for them. Lynette offered as her definition of the emotionally disturbed per- son, one who cannot get along in the community, Thus the home coordinates its activities to ac- custom the boys to living in ‘the community before they actually rejoin it. Liesa had a summer job at a state mental hospital in Michigan, where 4000 patients live in a self- contained community and help in maintenance work, sewing and other tasks. In the face of a large patient- ‘doctor ratio, little individual ther - apy is possible, and most treat- ment is carried on through drugs or milieu therapy - the effect of the hospital setting. According to Liesa, mental ill- ness is neyer really cureable. She defined mental health as communi- ty toleration. Sue worked for a year at the Massa¢husetts Mental Health Cen- ter, Part of the state hospital system, it is also the Harvard psychiatric teaching hospital, and contains three house wards of 60 each, as well as smaller research wards, -* As a teaching hospital, the cen- ter offered constant on-the-floor training and classes for nurses, doctors, etc. Sue worked as a member of the nursing staff on a non-professional basis, Ruth spent a summer working for the Devereux School, where staff and students are on a one- to-one. ratio. Most of the 800 emotionally disturbed students are between the ages of eight and 20. The school employs residential treatment, with many small units scattered throughout the communi- ty. Each self-contained unit has such facilities as schools, gyms, art centers and football fields. A set of house parents lives in each unit. : Each~ child -has~ contact witha physician, psychiatrist, psycholo- gist, social worker and educator. Programs are often vocational, since the students cannot continue academic work. GANE & SNYDER: 834 Lancaster Avenue VEGETABLES GALORE FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 8:30 P. M.
