For juniors who still have the option of choosing between two _majors..and_ for..the _majority. of sophomores who will decide upon a major this spring, the absence of schedules is of greatest seriousness. There are other students affected, however. Many are anticipating conflicts between required courses and will have to in- vestigate necessary offerings at Haverford, others are unable to plan a definite summer school pregram until they are sure of what subjects they watt be taking next year. * ’ The result -of this ineomventents will affect both students and ad- ministration, First of all the deans will’ be unable to cope with the hordes of students who will have to confer with them during the final _ hectic weeks of school, In addition, students will not have sufficient time to consider carefully their choice of courses. In many instances a student’s choice of major is determined by the choice of courses available-to her, and this choice can be determined only ated the course schedules me appesyeds Unless . these Schedules appear simultaneously with this issue of ~- _the NEWS,.their publication will coincide with papers, heavy.end-of- —— ‘Semester™ reading, and possibly examinations--that is, IF the exam _ schedules have appeared in time for. examS.. - Telephone Trauma , If you’re ever bored, try phoning one of the dorms some evening | this spring. : After five or more hours of futility and frustration, you, too, will understand our plea for more trunk lines 6n the dorms’ switchboards, The) literal impossibility of reaching any of the larger dorms in the evening is most serious when students must phone in to sign out. By the time a girl has reached her dorm, a searching party. - may have already ‘been * Rid ah to find her, so long will have ~ been the delay. _ There are other, more delicate reasons, for demanding more trunklines, While we like to think of ourselves as a campus beseiged by flocks of ardent admirers ‘who like their Medieval knightly counter- parts, will not be daunted by an evening of futile telephoning, this is not. always the case, As a matter of fact, a majority of our phone- - calls are placed. by so-called. ‘borderline boys,’’ boys who after receiving a busy signal after more than a dozen attempts, will con- clude that NO Bryn Mawr girls is worth THAT much of his time, and turns to the next name on his list, one who will perhaps be more readily' available. ® Finally, parents who foolhardily try to telephone their daughters are often left with the mistaken idea that their daughters have eloped, been expelled, or fled the country, so_thwarted.. will have been. - their attempt to reach them. But most importantly, - now that- young men’s faticies are turning, please let them not receive perpetual busy signals.
