Civil Rights Committee The “Civil Rights problem’’ is Campus Bureau: | Provides Varied !Jemporary Jobs ~ Although ‘almost ‘every Bryn Mawrter is interested in increas- ing the amount of money. she has available for the niceties and ne- cessities of college life, the dif- ficulties of job hunting in a new. comiiumity might seem to preclude the possibility of allowance pad~ | ding. Actually, this is hardly the case. The Bureau of Recommendations is always happy, to help girls looking for part time or temporary em- ployment, The office of the Bureau is located in the basement of Tay- lor Hall and can be reached by us- ing the steps inside the building at. the corner near Denbigh Hall. Though there are not very many permanent part time jobs available through the Bureau, there are many temporary ones, Showing lantern slides, waiting tables on campus, reading for professors, addressing envelopes, and typing papers are among the most common jobs, but by far the biggest demand for stu- dent employees comes from local parents in need of baby sitters. The Bureau receives dozens of calls. each day from parents re- questing student baby sitters; the student may pick her evenings or week’s employment any day the Bureau is open, Hours for picking up. babysitting assignments are 11:00 to 1:00 and 2:00 to 5:00 Monday through ‘Thursday; from. 9:00 on Fridays, and on-Saturday mornings. a Other temporary positions are ced-on the bulletin board reau, on the black- board just at the foot of the stairs, _and on mimeographed lists. posted prominently in each hall. _bers ~members of the college community how more than ever one of the most serious, most pressing, most disgraceful problems in America.

Through this type of service, Interfaith has tried to bring closer © together, in common bond, the many faiths represented in our col- - lege community. _. However, the weekly “silent meditation period has” not proven to be the most success- ful solution, and Interfaith is itself ‘in search of a way in which all. members of the college may be united in seeking that point where ‘efaith’? and. ‘*belief?? become an inseparable part of ‘‘occupations’’ “and ‘tactions.’?

Most freshmen comefrom an atmosphere where a student’s chances of gaining college entrance are measured by his grades. Here. high grades do gauge a student’s standing in relation to others, but standing itself is deemphasized in importance, Instead of centering on. grades themselves, pressure centers on the work. While the ‘marking ‘system attempts to evaluate the amount of éffort a student puts into a course, the real evaluation pro-. -ceeds from the student herself.’ The aim of the courses is to give the students as much know- - ledge as possible’ and to suggest the means for adding toit, Whether learning involves following the way indicated’ by the instructor or branching out from or carrying on beyond it is left to the individual. Therefore, to a large degree, éach student decides when.she is-satis- ~ fied with her work in each subject. For this reason, freshmen soon discover that comparison of the grades of two students ts com- paratively rare, and that pro- fessors are more concerned with improving* the students’ under- standing of their subject, League Calendar Offers Diversified Projects; Particular Mention Given to Sleighton Farm By Bonnie Brice President, League, 1962 .“*We’ve worked a lot with clay and paint.
