» This Years’ College Calendar
Passed by Faculty for 1967- 68

‘

*

The Bryn Mawr faculty voted
at a recent meeting to put this
year’s academic calendar into ef-
fect during the 1967-68 year as
well,

Mrs. Dorothy Marshall, head
of the calendar committee, said
the .vote took place September
‘28 to extend this temporary calen-
dar one more year. Mr. Berliner
and Mr. Dudden also serve on
the committee.

The vote occurred at this par-
ticular meeting at the request of
Haverford College, which needed
to know. the calendar. before Bryn
Mawr’s_ next faculty..meeting in
December in order to set up its
athletic schedule.

The Bryn Mawr faculty, not the
Haverford faculty, determines the
calendar each year, with an eye
towards coordinating the programs
of each school. Haverford does
have a calendar committee, con-
sisting of Dean Spielman and two
faculty members, who met. with
Mrs. Marshall’s group prior to
the Bryn Mawr vote.

The present calendar is a com-
promise, said Mrs. Marshall, with

imperfections and no real concen-

sus on the committee, ‘‘We’re
passionately interested in elimin-
ating the lame duck session,’’
she pointed out, and since there
wasn’t time to produce a new
calendar before the Sept, 28 meet-
ing, work will go on this year for

a new calendar for the year af-
ter next.

A special student calendar com-
mittee had a hand in producing
the present calendar two years
ago, and Mrs. Marshall hopes
that Curriculum Committee will
contribute to the project for a
new one. Plans ranging from the
Penn calendar to a trimester sys-
tem to finishing classes before
Christmas are under considera-
tion. (Because of Bryn Mawr’s
graduate school, the college pre-
fers an earlier beginning so that
grad students would not lose th
first semester at Penn.) :

g
Students Petition

To Open Library

For Extra Hours

In each dorm representatives
from the Curriculum Committee
are circulating petitions request-
ing that the Bryn Mawr Library
be kept open until 10:00 Saturday
night and be opened at 10:00 Sun-
day morning.

The Committee feels that this
extension of library hours would
alleviate sdme of the pressure
on the use of reserve books; stu-
dents would still be allowed to sign
out reserves over the weekend.

Only the Reserve and Reading
Rooms would be kept open, so that
no more than a few students would
be needed on duty.

Arts Forum Offers Opportunities
To Frustrated Creative Students

According to Ronnie Scharf-
man, president of Arts Council,
Bryn ‘Mawr students are being
offered an excellent opportunity
for outlet of creativity by a Main
Line group called the Arts Forum,

Miss Ann Kish, a_ local
musician and artist, is head of
this organization, which is

presently housed in a large man-
sion near the Haverford Hotel,
which itis hoping eventually
to buy. It has dance practice rooms
with new floors, and soon there will
be full length mirrors, rooms to
paint in, a little theater which
seats 80, and printing and screen-
ing equipment, ~among~ other
things, Miss Kish has offered all
these facilities to interested Bryn
Mawr students, to the ‘‘frustrated,
suppressed, creative Mawrter.’’

The combined Bryn Mawr-
Haverford film-making group has
been told by Miss Kish _ that it
may use her equipment, She was
in California several years ago
and became interested in film
production and bought some of
the necessary equipment and
learned some of the basic tech-
niques, The’ group will be
meeting with her every Saturday
morning from 10:30 to 12:30 in
the Arts Forum building,

The Forum, while it has
all these facilities, is virtually
penniless. Although it is offering

Chagall Theme in ‘Winter's Tale’
To Determine Color, Movement

by Pam Barald

College Theatre’s design for this
fall’s production of Shakespeare’s
THE WINTER’S TALE aims to
create ‘‘dynamic interactions of
color, form and sound which will

give the play an impetus enlarging’

the range possible to classic

drama,’’

This will be done by adopting a
Chagall-like theme of contrast and
prilliance in color and moyement,
which will be especially apparent
in the set, lighting and costumes,
The Chagall approach, originated
by director Robert Butman, was
received with enthusiasm by the
production crew. ‘‘The idea be-
came more exciting as we began
to think of it as a complement
to the play which would bring out
the movement of the themes through
its seasons,’’ says production man-
ager Janet Ohle ’67,

The .stage contains a four-level
et with an expanse of black drop
aac which the colors will. move.
and mutate, The costumes will be
bold and gaily colored, according
to designer Debby: Jones and com-
mittee head Constancia Warren,
Christopher Fry’s music is be-
ing adapted for the production by
John Davidson, professor of music
at. Haverford College, The instru-
sments used in the play will be
simple and clear toned, probably
recorders and violin,

Alice Leib will choreograph the

--Jdances for the play, The set des-

ign committee was composed of
Janet Ohle, Rich Gartner, Jean

Farny, Bert Kritzet,-Pam Barald,

‘and Bill Wilke,

’ The poster was designed by Kathy
»Pottow. Jean Farny and Henry
‘Tarris are the heads of stage con-

guttuction. Marion Evans and Joe

Purvis designed the lighting
plan; Connie Warren and Debby
Jones are heads of costuming;
Harriet Tamen is in charge of
the makeup committee. Pam Barald
and Susan Gear are in charge of
props and special effects, Betsy
Kreeger, Jeff Gamble, and Dave
Lowry are the heads of the pub-
licity committee,

The. production will take place
in Goodhart November 4 and 5.
The curtain rises at 8:30 p.m.
Tickets ‘cost $1.00 for students
$1.50 for the general public, and
may be obtained from Ann Stehney

its facilities gratis to Bryn Mawr
students, the opinion of the Arts
Council is that those students who
use the Forum could, at the very
least, join it for the subscription
fee of $3 a year, Not only does
this allow’ members to use all
its facilities, but it gives them
reduced rates on its film series,
lectures, concerts, anddramapro-
ductions,

In order to express its
appreciation, Arts Council is
hoping to arrange a dance concert
or a Renaissance Choir concert
to be given at the Forum, to
be open to members of the Main
Line community only. The pro-
ceeds would all go to the
Forum,

The Forum is_ also. sub-
mitting an application for a
Rockefeller Foundation grant, If
it gets it, it will be the first time
such a grant has been given for
creative work to an institution
and not to an individual.

The Forum has ‘been in
existence for several years, This
is the first time that it has made
an effort to interest the students

along th in Line in its pro-
grams, — Ronnie scribes it
as providing ‘ anded oppor-

tunities’? to everyone, and
urges that all students Who have
complained about the lack of art-
istic opportunities on campus
to look into the many possibilities
the Forum offers,

Readmissions, Honors Program
In Curriculum Committee Plans

Although the Educational Goals
Committee was originally formed
as a part of Curriculum Com-
mittee, . this® group has been
autonomous for most of its exis-

_ tence, for since Curriculum Com-

mittee had no chairman until re-
cently, the committees have been
working separately.

As a result, the Educational
Goals Committee, headed by Mar-
garet Levi,” Nancy Gellman, and
Dorothy Dow, planned on its own
the series of discussions, ‘‘The
Meaning of an Education at Bryn
Mawr,’’? and has—received many
comments and ideas from the stu-
dent body. Now that Curriculum
Committee has a new chairman,
Andrea Lurie, the two plan to
work together, with Educational
Goals Committee as a sub-com-
mittee of Curriculum Committee.

A tentative executive commit-
tee of Curriculum Committee has
been appointed, including mem-
bers of all classes. In the com-
mittee are: Andrea Lurie, Ruth
Levy, Gill Lowes, Margaret Shep-
ard, and Norma Dudde.

The two committees are plan-
ning to write a joint report and
evaluation of what can be done
to improve the academic situation
at Bryn Mawr. This report will
be modeled after a similar re-
port made at the University of
Pennsylvania. The report will be
based on ideas and suggestions
from the student body. At an

open meeting Thursday, the com-

 

Director Butman confers with Joe Dickinson, who plays Polix-
enes, and Assistant Director. Kay Ford during a rehearsal.

mittee divided into groups to work
‘on separate areas of the report.

Curriculum Committee, will
work with the Faculty Curriculum
Committee on many of the prob-
lems that were discussed in the
recent series, the most: impor-
tant of which is the need for
smaller classes (which should be
possible in a college of Bryn
Mawr’s size).

Some of the other problems to
be considered in the report are:

1) more cooperation with the
graduate students;

2)a new honors program;

3) a new readmissions policy;

4) the formation of a student
vocational sub-committee which
will work with the Bureau of Rec-
ommendations to familiarize stu-
dents with. the job opportunities
in their fields, and keep them
posted on application deadlines
and interviews.

Another idea which has come
out of this committee is that of
a booklet which will include course
descriptions and evaluations, as
well as reading lists.

Company To Fix
Defective Lanterns

With Glass Panes

Three of the lanterns given to
the freshmen at Lantern Night
last Friday burst into flame, con-
trary to the promises ofthe Pres-
colite Company who supplied them.

The lanterns are faulty on two
accounts: first, the panes are plas-
tic; and second, the holes are
punched in the bottom instead of
the top. The company has now be-
gun the process of recalling them
and will replace the plastic panes
with glass ones, and will bore
holes in the top, where they will
be functionally useful. a

The big problem is in getting
all the lanterns back to.the com-
pany. Those Haverford boys who
have them are asked to return
them to Pinkie Stamen in Pem
East.

 

Legislature will meet next
Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. in the
Common* Room to discuss
the Driving Rule situation.
Any persons wishing to at-
tend, other than the stan-
dard members of Legislature,
should first contact Beverly
Lange in Denbigh.

Calendar Challenge

When the NEWS heard about yesterday’s Alliance’board meeting,
we ran over to Denbigh and kissed Drewdie Gilpin on both cheeks.

It seems that Alliance had learned that this year’s calendar had
been voted by the faculty to be put into effect next year as well. The
vote took place at the September 28 faculty”meeting with the request
of Haverford that the decision be made quickly in order that the
athletic schedule could be formulated, Mrs. Marshall, head of Bryn
Mawr’s calendar committee, had such short notice of the urgency of
the vote that it was most expedient to propose this year’s temporary
calendar for a second time around.

Although students were in on the preparation of this present calendar
last year, there were no undergraduates on hand this year to con-
tribute their opinions to the decision-making for 1967-68. No student
organization, such as Curriculum Committee or Undergrad, was even
aware that the process was going on,

At its board meeting yesterday, Alliance decided to take upon itself
the responsibility for interjecting some student consideration into the
academic calendar. Realizing that the basic framework of the calendar
(i.e. coordination with Haverford and Penn) must remain the same, the
group would still like to determine if there can be any changes made to
improve certain undesirable aspects of it.

That the calendar was passed so early this year for next year is
regrettable, since we haven’t even been able to see it in effect yet.
We have yet to live through the reading session and the very unfor-
tunate lame duck session after Christmas. Whatever student group
ends up looking into the matter--whether it be Alliance itself or
whether the project is passed on to Curriculum Committee when
Alliance presents its argument at Undergrad next Monday--it is
hoped that modifications will be proposed, within the preordained
framework, according to problems which present themselves this year.

Despite the lack of time involved, we are extremely disappointed
that student opinion was not solicited prior to the faculty vote. Mrs.
Marshall said she did plan to ask Curriculum Committee to form a
calendar sub-committee to work on the calendar following the two-year
period of .the present one, and it should be an important item of con-
cern for this undergraduate group. When various calendar proposals
are formed, this sub-committee might well take a vote in the student
body to indicate its opinion. to the faculty members before their final
vote, what with our educational development in the best possible pat-
tern being an important consideration.

But we still haven’t explained why we presented Drewdie with the
only token of affection we can afford, That Alliance, a student group
actually unrelated to such a problem as the calendar, should volunteer
its protest, as it will in Monday’s Undergrad meeting, is a step

toward an Educational Goal that Bryn Mawr seems to need. Spon- .

taneous dialogue concerning the college community is finally taking
place on the campus, And it’s not controversy for the sake of con-
troversy, but a much-needed questioning of the quality of the stu-

dent’s academic environment. .

’

Arts Forum

Among the facilities Bryn Mawr students have always found. lack-
ing on campus is the proper space and equipment needed to fulfill
their artistic inclinations and talents. A possible solution is the
eventual building of the Haverford Arts Center, for which student
money is now being collected -- notably at an art exhibition and sale
November 12. But a much closer-at-hand solution hds been discovered.

The Arts Forum, a Main Line group centered in a building near
the Haverford Hotel, and not directly connected with the college, has
offered its full facilities to the Bryn Mawr student body. The Forum
building (right on Harry’s bus route -- arrangements could surely
be made for him to make stops there) is equipped with all sorts of
music and dance practice rooms and painting rooms. It has a little
theatre which Arts Council president Ronnie Scharfman said is
available for groups when Skinner is in use. Especially exciting is
the camera and equipment Miss Ann Kish, head of the Forum, is
making available to the Bryn Mawr-Haverford film-making group.

The NEWS suggests that the very least we could do to express
our appreciation to Miss Kish is for each student who uses the Forum.
facilities regularly to join it, at the membership fee of $3.00 per year,
evén though the Forum offered to make itself available free of charge.
We don’t think the opportunities involved with the Forum can be em-
phasized too much, and we hope that all those students who have com-
plained that Mr. Janschka’s studio, doesn’t fulfill their specific needs

- will take advantage of all the Forum offers.

| Letters to the Editor

Readmissions

To’the Editor:

*‘Public discourse’? was Pro-
fessor Bachrach’s. theme in his
discussion with Miss McBride,
and I-congratulate THE COLLEGE
NEWS for beginning to act as a
forum for such discourse by print-
ing a statement by Mrs. Marshall
and Miss Vermey on the Bryn
Mawr readmissions policy,

The statement on readmissions
was very clear; there is no‘ ‘leave
of absence.’’ Students who take a
year off for emotional reasons can
return only with the approval of a
psychiatrist while those who leave
‘to study somewhere else (apart
from junior year abroad) can only
return if they have kept up an A/B
average, I can understand the need
for medical advice when a student
has left because of mental dis-
turbance, but why can’t a student

“who PLANS to study or work
elsewhere for a year be assured .

that she can return?
The arguments against ‘‘leave

of absence,’’ as I understand them -

from the statement, are: .a) the
necessity of keeping up ahigh level
of academic work if the, year is
spent in study; and b) the problem
of space at the college. (In con-

» nection with this, Miss Vermey is

cited to have said, ‘‘We can’t be
as flexible as a big university.’’)

If a student wants to receive
credit for her year of study, then
the college has every right to set
some criteria. However, many stu-
dents may wish to attend another
university just for the experience,
and there is no reason why their
grades should be taken into con-
sideration when they wish to re-
turn,

The problem of space could
be alleviated rather than made
more complex by the institution of
‘leave of absence,’’ for it would
enable the administration to know
how. many people to expect back.
Furthermore, the implication of
our present policy is that entering
freshmen come first, before those
students who ‘‘deserted’’ Bryn
Mawr by taking a year away. The
loyalties of the college should be
the other way around, and every
effort should be make to re-wel-
come past students back into the
college community.

Moreover, some people need a
year away from the life and pres-
sures of Bryn Mawr in order to
‘think, to try out ideas, to mature.
A year off can be an invaluable
education, for it gives the student
some experience outside the class-
room or in another kind of class-
room and it gives her some per-
spective on herself and on the
particular academic world of Bryn
Mawr. Therefore, it would seem
to me that a year off should be

‘made to fit into the collegeframe- .

work, and this could be done by
setting up a procedure by which
a student can apply for a ‘‘leave
of absence.’’

Curriculum

To the Editor:

Three cheers for the COLLEGE
NEWS ‘‘Meaning of an Education
at BMC”? supplement of Oct. 14!
The special interviews were above
and beyond the call of reportorial
or editorial duty and helped add
to the excitement of the Educa-
tional Goals Committee series,

The editorial concerning the

Curriculum Committee shows the
need for more discussion of just
what the scope and purposes of
the organization are, As stated
in the Freshman Handbooks, the
committee’s ‘‘beat’? includes all
areas of academic life not in-
cluded in the academic honor sy-
stem, Curriculum Committee, if
successful, is at once a liaison
with the Faculty Curriculum Com-
mittee; a receptacle for student
views (be they gripes or sugges-
tions); an orginator of suggestions;
and a source .of information for
students, ;

The Curriculum Committee has
at this point one active subdivision,
Educational Goals Committee, We
hope to add a student vocational
subcommittee, which would work
with the Bureau of Recommenda-
tions in keeping students informed
of job possibilities. Another pos-
sible addition is a calendar com-
mittee to work with the faculty
groups, v

I have been asked about my
‘conception of Curriculum Com-
mittee’? -- I feel, however, that
the time for conceptions is past,
and that this is a year for action.
The Educational Goals Committee
series made it clear that the stu-
dents are tired of mumbling com-
plaints and, having presented con-
crete problems and concrete sug-
gestions, they expect to see some-
thing done, especially about the
large classes, :

Our immediate goal is to cor-
relate the material gathered in the
recent discussions and propose
some solutions for the problems,
which will be presented in the
report which Nancy Gellman men-
tioned in her NEWS article last
issue, Alsothe Faculty Curriculum
Committee is tackling the large
classes problem, and we intend
to work with them as much as
possible so that a solution satis-
factory to administration, students
and budget may be reached,

I--feel that Educational Goals
series also pointed out the need
for a concise statement of just
what is. meant by a liberal arts

education at Bryn Mawr, as
opposed. to one at any other
school -- something that could

be put in the catalog so that

students know more of what to

expect when .they join the col-
lege community,

Indignation

To the Editor:

We can only express _in-
dignation and annoyance about
last week’s letter to this column
concerning the so-called un-
successful mixer, The writer of
that letter did a great deal of
harm to all concerned, as well
as revealed her own sense of

pseudo-contrition at the end. We

should like to make four points
concerning that mixer:

1) No one should have to pay
for negating a sign-up to a dance,
Dances are not our religion,

2) The loss of $200 just could
not simply have .been caused by
13 people, Even if 13 more people
went, 19 boys still had been date-
less, We are not responsible
for making all 50°boys happy, but
just those for whom there are
girls. Un-even matches occur all
the time for social events,

3) Perhaps some girls did not
realize it was Hillel’s mixer, If

 

 

 

 

Shes wok o wath torr, Horny, she's an agnosie,

 

 

not, then they should not be forced
to attend, since they had thought
it ‘was with Princeton, simply.

4) Overdramatization of the
‘irreparable harm’’ to Prince-
ton-Bryn Mawr relations is
ridiculous and unnecessary, The
facts are these:

a) It was Princeton’s Hillel
group, not Princeton, and, pre-
sumably, suitable girls from
Bryn Mawr,

b) These things happen all the
time. The author of that letter is
just revealing her tender spot for
a flop she failed to foresee, Once
again, the 13 aré not responsible
for the happiness of those 50 boys,
nor the loss of $200, *

Tripartite Government Solution for College Community

Part Il: Some Suggestions

by D. E. Bresler
’ of the Psychology Dept.

The following is the second in a series of articles
submitted by Bresler in response to the Educational
Goals Series. :

Last week, I discussed what I thought to be a serious
problem confronting Bryn Mawr: namely, the conform-
ingly dull atmosphere which ‘pervades. and stifles the

: community. ‘This week, I hope to offer a few sugges-

tions as to how this situation may be remedied.

Students and faculty possess an *unusual amount of
freedom at Bryn Mawr, To my knowledge, the adminis-
tration has never vetoed a decision passed by student
Self-Gov; nor, to my knowledge has there ever been a
case involving academic freedom of the faculty. For
the most part, university policies appear to be for-
mulated efficiently and harmoniously. The fact that
students and faculty have a voice in the formulation
‘of these policies gives the appearance of a democrat-
ically governed university, but this is, in reality, a
subtle illusion.

President McBride tightly holds the reins of the
community by possessing a direct veto through the
Board of Trustees (which she rarely, if ever needs
to or desires to use), but also by exerting a kind of
paternalistic “pressure. (which she effectively and fre-
quently uses). I recently learned to my surprise that
the President chairs faculty meetings and sits on prac-
tically all of the faculty committees, Though she may
sit only EX OFFICIO, it is clear that her presence is
felt. Miss McBride is indeed a member of the faculty,
but she is first and foremost President of the college.
Having the President attend these meetings may help
to settle matters more smoothly, more ‘‘harmoniously,”’
but if she did not attend, the diversity of opinion which

; would result might lead to greater public debate of uni-

versity policies, This, in turn, would have a stimulat-
ing effect upon the entire community, In addition, it
would enable faculty members to take a position on
academic policies not only as individuals but also as
faculty qua faculty.

In general, it seems that most faculty members don’t
object as long as they are permitted autonomy in other
areas (such as the classroom), and, for the most part,
they are. Several mémbers feel that things could be
a lot worse, for it would not be difficult for a ruthless
president to spark a war among the faculty by pitting

the science departments against the humanities, the

older faculty members against the younger, etc. In-
deed, there seems to be a tacit understanding QUID
PRO QUO: the needs of faculty members are filled
so long as they let the President run the university.

I am told. that students are also often confronted
with the same kind of pressure from the President.
This air of paternalism is devasting in that it induces
or reinforces immaturity, conformity, and disinterest
among those very people whose imagination and critical
capacities for growth should be encouraged, ©

I do not mean to imply that the President is in any
way malevolent. “To the contrary, I feel as do virtually
all members of the community that Miss McBride is
doing a magnificent job as President under the present
structure. Rather it is the power structure itself that
I question. Perhaps it is because there is greater
freedom at Bryn Mawr than is found at most colleges
that there is the illusion of democracy. Ina true
democratic university, ALL share rights of participa-
tion in ALL matters of common concern. If during
,a faculty meeting a member wished to discuss the’
dormitory system at Bryn Mawr, the President would
probably respond by saying that it was a problem for
the administration to handle, NOT the faculty, and
would thereby dismiss it. Similarly, the students are
rarely, if ever, consulted about admissions, institu-
tional finances, etc,

There is a great deal to be said in favor of tripartite
forms of college government involving students and

faculty as well as administrators. Having different back-
grounds and interests, each can contribute to the man-
agement of all phases of community life. The student
has a clear RIGHT to participate in the formation of
academic. policies because SHE is the center of the
educational process. She must be given a say in
determining her own fate. Briefly, the kind of tri-
partite government I envision would consist of a dozen
or so representatives elected by and from the Board
of Trustees, faculty, and student body. These repre-
sentatives would have the power to govern all phases

-of university life and would in turn delegate respon-

sibilities to various committees or individuals. Clearly,
there are several areas in which student participation
would be invaluable; admissions, personnel evaluation,
institutional finances, institutional grounds and facilities,
college calendar, cultural programming, academic stand-

ards and general climate, student welfare and counseling, ,

co-curricular activities, creative academic experimenta-
tion, and so forth.

Tripartite government is indeed a bold innovation in
contemporary education and is but one example of the
kind of experimentation which is totally lacking at Bryn
Mawr. I would like to see it become a reality, but not
overnight. Let’s take a look at the other side of the
coin. Perhaps one reason why faculty and students don’t
rebel against the system is because their interests are,
for the most part, fairly represented. Miss McBride
is remarkably perceptive: she is able to sense student
and faculty sentiment and can effectively integrate it
with her own feelings to reach a ‘‘concensus,’?’ The
result is a policy which is, for the most part, least
offensive to members of the community.

Many people don’t rebel because it is EASIER to
let the administration. make all the decisions (they
simply don’t want to be bothered); others, because they
are unaware (they know no OTHER system); but some,
because they themselves AGREE with the system. I
myself would probably prefer the present system to one
which was controlled by the less enlightened members
of the administration, faculty, and student body.

There is little to be gained in rebelling for the sake
of rebelling. But the unexamined acceptance of the
power structure must be replaced by a critical re-
evaluation of university government with hopes of estab-
lishing a dialectical, truly democratic relationship be-
tween all members of the community. The issue is
highly complex but vitally important. It is up to the
students to accept the responsibility of debating it in
detail. They must look ahead, formulate a carefully
thought-out proposal, and present it to the faculty.
Then, and only then, will it become an issue deserving
the critical examination of the community.

I have discussed the issue of university government
at length because no one else seems to be talking about
it. My other suggestions are, for the most part; already
being considered by members of the community.

I am convinced that one reason why Bryn Mawr is
so bland and dull is because the undergraduate com-
munity lacks ready communication with the male mind.
Bryn Mawr as a non-coeducational college may permit
girls to assume the positions of campus leadership
which are usuall'y dominated by males, but it seriously
restricts the intellectual and social contact that is
essential for Educational development. Many people
talk of combining with Haverford, but I personally
favor an analogue of the MIT system: admitting qualified
males as ‘‘co-eds,’’ Again it is up to the STUDENTS
to debate this issue and to formulate a detailed pro-
posal which can be presented to the faculty.

The traditional dormitory system should also be
re-evaluated, for the isolation it breeds can be devast-
ating, What is perhaps the major social event on campus
-- eating -- has become antisocial, a race to see who can
finish and leave first. The ‘‘new’? College Innis a
great improvement, but it is hardly a substitute for a
student union with a large cafeteria in;which students
from different dorms could dine together. A union
would greatly help to expand the students’ spectrum
of associations. Once again, a detailed proposal should
be formulated.

Social life on campus, in short, does not exist. I

 

would guess that there are Bryn Mawr girls who have
never dated during their college years. These girls may
not be wildly attractive, but there is still hope, for as
a wise man once said, ‘‘for every pot, there is a lid,’’
The problem is meeting people, Mixers are fantastically
grim and often just the opposite results; a girl will get
stuck with the ‘first boy she talks to and if she begs
out due to a ‘‘headache,’’ she can hardly continue ‘*mix-
ing.” One ‘solution might be to change the liquor restric-
tions on campus, Girls would then be ableto give parties
on campus so that their dorm mates could meet males
casually in an informal social setting. Liquor is not a
panacea, but I feel it. could greatly contribute to the
development of a social life on campus.

An annually published student evaluation of the faculty
might exert pressure for greater consideration of a
faculty member’s teaching abilities. I understand that
several students are currently working on this project
and I strongly encourage them to make it become a
reality.

The trimester system was discussed several years
ago and then mysteriously died. I feel that it offers
the students several advantages:‘a compromise between
four and five course loads (you take three courses per
trimester), vacations which are free from academic.
Pressure, and closer contact with individual members
of the faculty. “It should be’ carefully’ re-examined,

Although the curriculum committee has been very
active, several unexplored innovations are yet to be
considered. For example, I would favor the establish-
ment of a ‘‘Liberal Arts Major’? or a no-major major,
This would permit greater freedom for those students
who do not wish to go on to professional or graduate
schools. If, during their junior or seniors years, they
found that they were greatly interested in a particular

\field, they would be able to continue taking courses in

it without losing other electives. At present, they can
become trapped in a major field which they don’t par-
ticularly enjoy. Academic experimentation by the faculty
should also be encouraged. Many students simply play
stenographer in class. They write down everything
and comprehend nothing. If a professor mimeographed
class notes in advance and thus demanded that students
simply listened to their lectures, I wonder what the
results would be. Various aspects of a ‘‘pass-fail’’ |
system for non-major courses should also be explored.
Academic and psychological counseling at Bryn Mawr
is sorely in need of improvement. Every student should :
know that there is someone she can talk to about anything ;
that troubles her. I agree that the faculty should not :
be forced to assume this responsibility, but those
members who are interested should be encouraged to :
make their availability known. I am glad that many :
people are actively considering this issue. :
Many other issues deserve serious attention: off
campus housing, re-evaluation of the social honor sys- :
tem, leaves of absence, better security protection of
the dorms, integration of the graduate and undergrad- :
uate colleges, increased use of the NEWS as a forum :
of debate, etc. © :
In conclusion, I feel: that Bryn Mawr’s dullness will :
evaporate when all begin to rededicate themselves to
improving the community. . Imagination is too rare an :
element in the development and enactment of university :

‘policy. Creative persons not directly involved in decision-

making often have no access to information that governs
policy formation. The administration must give up
some of its steadfast power and cultivate the imagina-
tion found in the students and faculty. The faculty
should strive to bring academics out of the classroom
so that students can ‘‘work more at play, play more
at work.’? The students have not only the right but
the RESPONSIBILITY to participate in the governing
of the university. Since students have such differing
opinions, many feel that the situation is hopeless be-
cause they cannot reach a concensus even among them-
selves, To the contrary, many colleges suffer because
everyone thinks alike -- the different points of view
that are found at Bryn Mawr should form the basis of
vigorous, vibrant debate of university policies.

There is a great deal to be done, and much of it can
be initiated only by the students. Let’s get started.

Discusses Draft With SAC Group

‘¢Civil Disobedience and the
Draft’? was the subject of a semi-
nar last Sunday afternoon
sponsored by the Social Action
Committees of Bryn Mawr and

, Haverford.

Bob Eaton, a recent Swarth-
more graduate andapresent mem-
ber of the Friends Peace Com-
mittee, came out to Haverford to
join the discussion. He talked about
his experiences with conscientious
objection, Having been a consci-
entious objector for several years,

Eaton decided last spring that he

could no longer cooperate with the

a demonstration to protest the
draft in Philadelphia last Saturday,
Eaton mailed his draft card back
to his selective service board, He
expects to serve up to five years

in prison, and possibly to pay
some fines.

During the discussion, Eaton
tried to bring out all the possi-
bilities open to young men who
face the draft. After discussing
his own stand of non-cooperation,
he mentioned the position of al-
ternative service within the army.
He sketched briefly the history

‘of conscientious objection. Today,

The whole question of non-

Some felt that it was necessary
to be a complete personal paci-

Eaton brought up another issue:
he wondered if revolutions which

Student Housing Committee, which
was set up last week on the sug-

The committee basically will
function as a sounding board for

facilities and dorm activities. For
example, it will possibly be con-

will be taking a tour of all the
new smokers in the dorms, to see

Bryn Mawr Rewards Quietness,
Explains Social Work Professor Describes Past Reforms

by Cookie Poplin

The Department of Social Work
and Social Research is not even
mentioned in the undergraduate
catalog, but from his office op-
posite the bookstore, Professor
Philip Lichtenberg has been watch-
ing with concern developments
among Bryn Mawr undergraduates
for close to six years. As a
social researcher, he is profes-
sionally involved with ‘‘what is
inside people’’; as a:Bryn Mawr
professor, he is troubled by the
‘‘quliness” or excessive seren-
ity (depending on your point of
view) which became one of the
critical issues at the recent Ed-
ucational Goals Committee meet-
ings.

Asked why he thought dullness
was in fact a problem, Mr, Lich-
tenberg replied, ‘‘Issues get ab-
sorbed here too-easily; there is
less thrashing about with issues
that are important to people than
there should be.’’ He noted a
tendency to be ‘‘prematurely ma-
ture,’’ a ‘‘striving for superiority
that misses the opportunity to be
a fool.’?? People in their desire
to be more scholarly are afraid:
to resolutely commit themselves,
afraid. to go out on a limb, to
get upset, to be wrong. While
Mr. . Lichtenberg acknowledged
that pure emotional involvement
had little positive value, he felt
that in general we were ‘‘too
analytic. If an: issue isn’t worth
getting excited about ...’’

The professor of social work
went on to offer one theory which
might in part explain the situa-
tion: ‘*People (here) use the aca-
demic life as a way of proving
themselves, as a way of com-
pensating for what they lack in
other areas, as a way of lick-
ing their wounds’? -- presumably

Library Committee
Lacks Volunteers

One of the topics under
discussion at Monday night’s
meeting of Undergrad was that
of the Library Committee, A
problem arose when the posted
sign-up list to join the commit-
tee was returned unsigned,
indicating an obvious lack of in-
terest on the part of the student
body.:

In the past, the Committee’s
functions have been restricted
mainly to library tours and tests
for freshmen, but in view of the
circulating petitions for an ex-
tension of weekend library
hours and the pending construction
of the new building, there was
some discussion on the existing
need for a drastically revised
committee which would be
authorized to functions on an
enlarged basis, :

The final decision reached
was that present members of the
committee would be contacted as

to their interest in the group’s

instead of more stimulating but
more risky intellectual involve-
ment. The girl who specializes
quickly, works at her field con-
scientiously and quietly, doesn’t
get upset and doesn’t get side-
tracked -- ‘‘we select toward that
and reward that.?? Mr. Lichten-
berg never advocated the other
extreme, where one uses his in-
tellect like a club to batter other
people. He simply drew a contrast
between a place like Harvard,
where sometimes intelligence be-
comes arrogance and is used for
‘¢self-agerandizement?? and Bryn
Mawr, where it is used for ‘‘self-
abasement and “quiet achieve-
ment.”? As always, the golden
mean lies between the two ex-
tremes,

Mr. Lichtenberg was neither
unduly optimistic nor darkly pes-
simistic about the work of, the
Educational Goals Committee. He
warned against the danger of seek-=
ing ‘‘a premature cure for prob-
lems incompletely understood.’
He felt that the best solution to
the ‘dullness’? would come about
either in the process of examining
the problem itself or in a natural,
unpretentious way. Half in jest,
wholly in earnest, he added, ‘‘If
we say we should do something,
it won’t work.’? Four sessions
are not going to take a highly
organized community by storm
and no one here is ‘‘ripe for
revolution,’? There are’ many
people who have accommodated
themselves well to the existing
situation and many with vested
interests who consciously or un-
consciously oppose any signifi-

Hawkins Dancers

During Art Series

The Erick Hawkins Dance Com-
pany will appear at Haverford
College, October 28 as part of
the college’s annual Art Series.
The 8:30 p.m. program will be
in Roberts Hall.

The repertoire- for the Haw-
kins company’s tour will include
the American dance classic ‘‘Here
and Now With Watchers,’’ four
dances from “Bight Clear
Places,’’ and a revival of Haw-
kin’s .widely-acclaimed ‘‘John
Brown.’?

Hawkins was trained by two
of _ America’s leading dancers,
George Balanchine and Martha
Graham. As Martha Graham’s
principal male partner, Hawkins
was praised by critics for his
‘‘solid male dancing,’’ and his
work won him the role of ‘‘Cur-
ley’? in Agnes de Mille’s Broad-
way .production of ‘‘Oklahoma!’’

In addition to Hawkins, the com-
pany includes five other dancers.
They are accompanied by com-
poser Lucia Dluboszewski, whose
percussion music emphasizes ‘‘the
choreographic aspect of sound.’’

Hawkins does the choreography
for the group, stressing what he
terms ‘‘quality of movement.’’

cant change, ‘‘It is easier to leave
undisclosed those problems that
make us unhappy.’? Nevertheless,
he felt that the tremendous inter-
est generated by the issue on
campus reflects an underlying
dynamic force which may lead to
change. He.noted in passing the
significant number who have left

‘Bryn Mawr or who have thoug@ft

about leaving: this is another im-
portant expression of something
unfulfilled here.

Although the faculty is partly
responsible for the existing
situation, ‘‘the students are more

conservative. than anyone else.’
Mr.

Lichtenberg further alleged
that ‘‘the students pretend to want
more change thah they really want
because they don’t want to know
what makes them quiet.’’ His pes-
simism.about the results of the
Education Goals Committee series
is due-in part to the fact that stu-
dents ‘‘haven’t even tried to change
their relationships with each
other.’’ For example, in the con-
flict over the men-in-the-rooms
rule, he felt. girls used the ad-
ministration as an excuse to avoid
direct confrontation with their
neighbors. He also cited the less
dramatic decision to hand over
responsibility for the driving rule
to the administration.

Mr Lichtenberg feels that al-
though there has been more move-
ment towards change than those
who claim there has beenno move-
ment are willing to admit, there
has been less that he and many
others would like to see.

History Of Dress Rule

Next in the series of articles
by Self-Gov officers on the
background of present rules,
First Sophomore Judy Liskin
describes the dress rule in
anticipation of constitutional
revision.

The establishment of the Com-
mittee on Constitutional Revision

_has focused attention on all Self-

Government rules, bringing the
dress rule once again under con-

sideration. As the rule now stands;

skirts must be worn to classes,
in the Ville, and on public trans-
portation, with the exception that
pants may be worn to the Comet
after dark, The Ville is defined
as that part of Lancaster Pike
between the Comet and the Mari-
Nay.

The present wording of the Self-
Gov Constitution, which reads,
‘eThé’ Executive. Board has the
right to act in all cases WHERE
THE DRESS OF THE STUDENTS
MIGHT CAUSE UNFAVORABLE

“CRITICISM OF THE COLLEGE,”

makes clear the philosophy be-
hind the dress rule. The pur-
pose of the Executive Board is
not to set down moral edicts as
‘to what it considers acceptable
for Bryn Mawr students to wear,

but rather to present, as guide-
lines, the mores of the surround-
ing community; it is this com-
munity that a student enters when
she goes into the Ville or uses
public transportation.
Historically, the policy of Self-
Gov on the off-campus dress rule
has always reflected the standard
of acceptable dress of the sur-
rounding community, andthe dress
rule has changed, section by sec-
tion, as the mores of the so-
ciety have changed. In 1916, for
example, the Executive Board rule
that ‘‘trousers could not be worn??
as part of a ‘‘costume’’ to a pol-
itical rally off-campus, but that
riding habits could be worn to
Junior Show rehearsals in Tay-=
lor because, in the words of the
Board, ‘‘there aren’t many peo-
ple around.’’ By 1930, the wear-
ing of slacks on the campus was
acceptable, but in those days of

 

‘tgracious living’? students were ,

required to wear skirts to din-
ner and to hall teas.

The town of Bryn Mawr judges
the College by the outward ap-
pearance of its students; it is a
practical necessity, therefore,
that the Self-Gov dress rule in-
sure that this impression not be
a distasteful one,

Allied Russian Club Furnishes

Language Practice, Atmosphere |

by Janet Oppenheim

The new, allied Bryn Mawr-|
Haverford Russian Club is vocally)
projecting its revitalized image.
Pacing up and down the floor .in
an excess of energy, Chuck Hardy,
Haverford ’67, self-styled ‘‘liai
son man’ between the campuses,
described the future activities of
the club whose purpose, according
to him, is to instill a ‘‘taste for
vodka and caviar’’ in all members,

‘‘We’re working on a Mani-
festo “now, and we _ plan to’
commemorate the October Revo-
lution on the 25th by renaming.
all streets and buildings on the
Bryn Mawr campus,’’ announced
Chuck, -adding that he hoped a
small revolution of the elite in-
tellectual vanguard would follow.

Baroque Concert
With Swarthmore
Set for Sunday

This Sunday afternoon at three,
interested musicians of the stu-
dent body and faculty of both
Swarthmore and Bryn Mavr will
combine to present a concert of
baroque vocal chamber music.

The recital’s main performer
will be Mrs. Karen Komar, wife
of'Mr. Arthur Komar of Swarth-
more’s music department. She
will present two soprano solo van-
tatas of Dietrich Buxtehude as
well as two cantatas by Telemann.

The Telemann cantatas make
use of the talents of cellist Stan-
ley Walens of Haverford with the
rest of the instrumental accom-
‘paniment provided by violinists
Mrs. Caroline Cunningham and
Marian Brown of Bryn Mawr.

A sonata for the recorder and
harpsichord is to constitute the
remainder of the program. Mr.
Komar will provide the harpsi-
chord portion with Mr. George
Huber on the recorder.

Swarthmore sponsors a ser-
ies of such concerts each Sun-
day, and it is hoped that this
first one at Bryn Mawr will gen-
erate enough interest to main-

x tain them on a similar basis.

Any student interested in con-
tributing or taking part in any
way in such a series of recitals
are asked to contact Beverley
Peterson in Erdman as soon as
possible for information.

Meal Exchange Now Organized
Between Bryn Mawr-Haverford

There are two kinds. of meal
exchanges operating this year --
academic and weekend.

Academic meal exchange tickets
were distributed this week. Bryn
Mawr girls whose class sched-
ules necessitate eating at Hav-
erford have red tickets marked
‘*Meal at Haverford,’? and Hav-
erfordians use tickets saying
‘‘Meal at Bryn Mawr.’’ Saga
and Slater food services take a
monthly count of meals eaten at
each school on academic meal
exchanges. The balance is ex-
pected to be unequal, so one food
service will pay the other to com-
pensate. ‘

The tickets are stamped ‘‘week-
end’’ to distinguish them from
academic exchange tickets. They
are valid from Friday night through
Sunday night, breakfasts excluded.
The: supply is limited, but will
hopefully increase. Girls should
see Susan Orbeton before Friday

ceive two before another has re-
ceived one. For weekend meals at
Haverford, a girl’s date should
see Greg Wilcox.

Are you that certain kind of girl
whos been itching to write a
Peck & Peck ad of her own? .

If you are, you might win a $50

Gift Certificate.

A-$50 gift certificate from Peck « Peck—that’s worth an all-nighter!

Here’s how easy it is: you know what Peck « Peck’s advertising campaign is like. Every ad
starts off, “There. is a certain kind of woman who...” All you have to do is finish the sentence.

Here are a few examples of headlines that Peck # Peck has run:

There is a certain kind of woman who applies perfume so that it whis
For this woman, there is a certain kind of store: Peck « Peck.

There is a certain kind of woman who can spot a T formation or a Chanel suit at 50 yards,

For-this woman, there is a certain kind of store: Peck « Peck.

There is a certain kind of woman who reads Sartre, but is secretly in love with James Bond.

For this woman, there is a certain kind of store: Peck « Peck.

It’s easy to think up some more. And there will be a winner from each college campus.
You might be that certain kind of girl who wins a $50 gift certificate from Peck « Peck.

But hurry, contest entries must be submitted by November 10.
Now, we'll start you off. “There is a certain kind of woman
