SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1967 © Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1966 ss 1971 " Ritives From All Over World; Schedules Freshman Week Activities Make light This presentation of sta- tistics about the freshman class and new students opens: a series of articles. on why students come to Bryn Mawr. In coming issues, we will dis- cuss what kinds of qualities the admissions committee expects to find in new stu- dents. We will also talk to the _ different new admissions about what they expect to’ learn at Bryn Mawr and how they ex-. pect to learn it; in other words, what kind of education they are seeking at Bryn Mawr. We hope to continue these articles with interviews with upperclassmen to see if: their own freshman’ expectations have been realized. The group of new Bryn Mawr admissions is diverse in back- ground -- in its reasons for com- ing and in what it has to offer, reports Miss Elizabeth Vermey, Director of Admissions for the college, There are 205 members in the new freshman class, Two thirds ofthem attended public schools, They come from 32 states and eight foreign countries, Fourteen . percent are from New England, 43% from the mid-Atlantic re- gion, 14-1/2% from the Southern states, 15-1/2 from the midwest, 9% from the far west, and 4% from foreign countries, The four new foreign students have families in Hong Kong (Martha Liau), Korea (Young Aeun Chun), Holland (Jeanette Swets), and Costa Rica (Adelaida Chaverri), Several U.S, citizens who have been living abroad are also at Bryn Mawr this year. There are new students here outside of the class of ’71, Four doméstic transfers will be join- ing the sophomore class; Cecilia Jones (New York University), Jeanne Lunin (State University of New York at Stony Brook), Linda Perrotto (Albert Magnus College), and Susan Snyder Om York Uni- versity). There are eight eulet seniors this year, A guest senior is a student from another college who gets her degree there, but who spends her senior year at Bryn Mawr, This year they are Dorothy Federman (Barnard, Carole Greene (Smith), Ellen Greenhouse (Smith), Celia Newell - (Smith), Laura Reale (Wellesley), Alexine Roane (Wheaton), Carol Starrels (Wellesley), and Dorothy Jackson (Mt, Holyoke).

Directors Stipulate Four Month Trial The Committee of the Board of Directors has apprved the 8 a.m. sign-out. This is the beginning of the end of the confusion over Bryn Mawr’s social honor system. t In the course of last year’s con- stitutional revision an attempt was made to clarify the social code of behavior on the campus while hon- estly realizing that most of the phrases used in the discussion had become cliches. . : & With the abolition of curfew hours at Haverford, it became ap- parent that a number of Bryn Mawr students were spending the night in Haverford dorms, Was such behavior ‘‘legal’?? Was it detri- mental to the Bryn Mawr commun~- ity? Does the community have a right to legislate in such personal affairs? What, after all, is a com- munity? These were among theis- sues which the campus confronted . last spring when it voted on the revised constitution. ~The. most. significant. questions which that vote dealt with were those of the Haverford overnight, and the 8 a.m. sign-out. Both problems were ultimately re-- duced to the conflict between the rights of an individual and the de- mands of the community within i that individual functions. y should a student be com- pelled to return to her hall at 2 a.m.? By the time a girl reaches college age, she must be con- sidered capable of handling her own affairs, A 2a.m. curfew is an artificial protection which society will not afford its members ‘‘out in the world.” Such arguments were countered by both theoret- ical and practical considerations. There were those who argued that the college years, with their ‘‘ar- tificial’? guides, offer the de- veloping individual an ideal op- portunity to expand and explore without social temptations which she perhaps could not yet handle and which could seriously injure her maturation, Financial prob- lems, too, figured in the counter- arguments. The college simply could not afford additional lantern- men to patrol the grounds and open hall doors from 2 to 8 a.m. .In_ the final vote last spring, the 8 a.m. sign-out was approved by the campus in a vote of 297 to 72. The 10:30 p.m. sign-out, a cum-. bersome rule usually applying to campus buildings, was eliminated. Most of the limitations on the loca- tion of sign-outs were removed, Men were to be allowed in the public rooms, if a hall so de- sired, until 12:30 a.m. during the week and until 2 a.m. on week- ends.

Hi Class of *71, We’re really glad you are finally here and we'd like to pass on a few things we haven’t had a chance to say before. This evening you are in- vited to a gracious (non- grub) buffet dinner at Haver- ford, after which the Guides, a favorite campus group, will-play at an outdoor dance. You will be met by Haverfordfreshmen at your dorm and escorted over to their campus. We hope that during the trek you’ll have an opportunity to get acquainted. These arrange- ments were an innovation to the Freshman Week calendar last year and were so successful that we decided to continue them (in the hopes that they will be equally successful for ’711). The picnic Saturday after- noon will have: several new twists. It will be held on Merion Green and there will be various activities around Bryn Mawr such as volleyball, badminton and mixed doubles in tennis. The food serv- ice is boasting a sensational menu. Tomorrow evening ‘«Charade” will be shown (free) in the BMC Gym, Dress for this occasion will be informal, bermudas or levis, as you will be sitting on the floor. Finally, plain that we wanted to ex- we planned many . events in conjunction with Haverford because the two schools are so closely aligned both academically and socially. We felt that you would want to get to know all those students who will be sharing the BMC community with you. On the strictly social side however, next Sunday after- - noon there will be a mixer with University of Pennsylvania and later in the fall, we hope to entertain Lehigh. We have had lots of fun planning all the Freshman Week activities and hope that you will enjoy taking part in them. Their success, of course, depends on your spontaneity and participation. Best wishes for a happy year! PATTY, DEB, AND BONNIE P.S. Good luck in keeping your song a secret! Alumnae Association Moves From Deanery to Wyndham **No, I don’t think it’s sad, I think it’s exciting,’’ said Mrs. Barbara Thatcher about the tearing down of the Deanery and the move to Wyndham. Mrs. Thatcher, president of the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Associs- tion, then pointed out the ‘falling plaster and the leaks evi- . dent around the Deanery. His- toric though the building is, it is getting too expensive to maintain and somewhat un- comfortable to live in. The Deanery was one of the original campus buildings when the college opened in 1885. It is noteworthy, however, not for its age, but for its furnishings, yD collected by M. Carey Thomas on her many travels. First dean of the college and second president, Miss Thomas lived in the Deanery for almost five decades. She ex- panded it from five rooms to 46, and made it a gracious setting for guests and alumnae. The furnishings and hangings in the Blue Room will probably remain intact, possibly trans- ferred directly to a room in the old library, which will be renovated as the new wing is built. The bulk of the others will be moved to the new alumnae house, Wyndham. Some, though, may not be found to be appro-.” (Continued on page 4) es MBL IH DOSE ais ey ORS ame kia as RUSE ik Rua TETAS big Ne ee age “snap | % wisiicnc eae oe NORE iy ee, StH Se - Page he | “THE = COLLEGE NEWS: ‘Ghee ngs a ee Other Things pean teenyboppers, scholars, hippies and Future Mothers of America, Welcome to Bryn Mawr, sometinics described.as an oasis of learn- ing in a vast cultural and intellectual wasteland, In the welcoming speeches you have already heard and will yet hear you have undoubtedly been called the best class ever to come here, Every! class hears this.

We recognize, -however, that the Committee of the Board, believed that it could not in conscience ac- cept, at this point, an unre-- stricted 8 a.m, sign-out. Because of the provisionality of the hours at: Haverford, and because of wide differences ‘of opinion on the Bryn Mawr campus and within the Self- Gov, Board.about the advisability of completely unrestricted sleep- ing at Haverford, the Board has decided to maintain the status quo whereby: it is unacceptable for a Bryn Mawr student to spend the night in a Haverford College dorm-. w Ss = see yugcamman paoy" itory. Board of Directors, riage there were sev- eral legitimate reasons for stay- ing on the Haverford campus after 2am. The system whereby a student returning after 2 a.m. is, admitted to her hall remains tobe worked out. Miss McBride is try- ? ing to figure out a system which . is not excessively expensive, but which. must. provide maximum’ safety for girls returning between 2 and 8 a.m. The success of the system which evolves depends en- tirely upon the cooperation of Bryn Mawr students, as does the future of this new privilege. - Because of the proximity of Committee of the Board Of Directors’ Statement Upon consideration of the students’ votes on new rules, and after consultations with the officers of Student Government, the Com-~- mittee will recommend to the Directors that the directors approve a rule that would permit sophomores, juniors and seniors to sign out until 8 a.m. The sign-out would be with the student’s hall president, who would record the student’s name, her destination, whom she would be with, how she could be reached, and when she expected to return, Upon return, the student would be admitted to her hall. The precise procedures. of admission remain to be worked out, for possible procedures will differ as to efficiency ‘and expense. ‘This rule is not to be interpreted to include action that will j reflect adversely upon the student or the college. For example, the “rule would not saction a student signing out until 8 a.m, so that she might spend the night in a Haverford dormitory. How- ever the- Committee recognizes that there may be many approp- riate social occasions, at Haverford or elsewhere, which a stu- dent could more readily attend under the new rule. The Committee will also recommend to the Directors that the new rule be temporary only, and that after it has been in effect for four months, it be reviewed sothat the Committee may inform the Directors regarding the extend and nature of the use of the rule, and the-incidental expense, with a recommendation regarding _ whether the -rule should be continued, modified or eliminated. be spirit, class togetherness or community spirit? Does the faculty see by one group, the Students’ Council, At first, this may seem to me a much easier and less complex way of doing things. The NEWS it- self has thought so. But it should be re- membered that Haverford is a smaller school ] than Bryn Mawr, and that boys don’t seem to # be as addicted to forming committees as girls are, So greetings again.

Working the Trial Period The NEWS is pleasantly surprised at the Committee of the Board ot & Directors approval of the 8.a.m. sign-out. We are not so sure about #: the procedures of the four month trial period. We understand that: stu- e dents intending to use the 8 a.m. sign-out may have to ask permission : a of the hall president. We also understand that the hall president will be : keeping track of the number and length of stays at Haverford and : ES elsewhere of each girl. If they are signing out and staying out too long = and too often, the hall president may assume that the student is not # a typing papers or attending parties, and ask that the girl ‘‘cut down’? 3: (as one member of Self-Gov put it yesterday). Ba These records of the hall presidents will be transmitted to Self- = = Gov’s Executive Board. They will then be compiled and presented to & e the Board of Directors at the end of four months, and will be used = to determine if the new system is working. The NEWS is worried : about what ‘‘working’? means. Does ‘‘working’? mean ‘not used’’? = Or not used very much, or only a little, or what? : We think ‘‘working’”? has nothing to do with the number of girls who # . utilize the new sign-out, but rather has to do with the well-being of Ea the college.

An alliance is a difficult proposition, one that looks promising on paper, but when finally it exists, it canbe either dynamic or static. An alliance is supposed to con- sist of groups with differing basic interests and goals, yet all are directed to one basic purpose -- in this) case, a more complete knowledge of political affairs. During the time of the last Presidential election, Alliance was a functioning group, with several active clubs under. its umbrella, Slowly the umbrella wears out, leaks develop, and everything washes away into a current. One drop of water is just like the next. This seems to have happened to Bryn Mawr’s Alliance. Specifically, in these years, we had political clubs, as the Young Democrats, the Young Republicans and the Young Conservatives. We had general interest groups, such as the International RelationsClub. This past year, we had a Social Action Committee (see page 4) and a group of 200 students working with the Committee of Responsi- bility "for War-Burned and War- Injured Vietnamese Children, a private medical aid project. Alliance needs interested peo- ple -- people who want to feel informed, who think about the world, who try to solve impossible problems. Every drop. of water is distinct, both drawn and repelled by its neighbors. So are students, drawn by common interests into communication, ‘‘repelled’”’ by conflicting information, but finally joining in shared. knowledge. So a drop becomes part of a river, @ flow of information. (Continued on page 4) Akoue Breaks Class Bar Asks Non-Seniors To Help You. may have heard that Bryn Mawr is tradition personified.

This, its leaders hope, will. enable it to keep its image cleaner.

According to Mr. Jim Zielin- ski, the Marriott food service director at Bryn Mawr, the com- pany’s diversification allows it to be more efficient in each oper- ation. So even though they only serve six schools (as opposed. to Saga’s some 200) they have been able to draw on their experience in the Marriott Hotels, their Hot Shoppes, hospital catering, and their in-flight catering to airlines. The major change they are mak- ing here is to consolidate all food preparation to Erdman. This, their management and production people think, will make for excellent qual- ity control ..and..“ consistency. *“«Otherwise we wouldn’t do it,’’ pointed out Mr. Walter Hess, divi- sion manager. After the food has been pre- pared in the Erdman kitchen (they added some new equipment) it will be trucked in.special hot and cold trucks \to each dorm. Fry- ing and some other last minute cooking will continue to be done in the dorms, as well as the serving. ‘Stiident waitresses will again be used, but at a higher rate of pay. Waitresses will get $1.75 an hour. There will be student waitresses in Pembroke for the first time. Mr. Zielinski hopes that-the waitresses will be hap- pier, becuase they will be the most visible link between the stu- dents and the Marriott company. All the regular kitchen yem- ployees of the college and late of Saga have been hired by Mar- riott. This reporter was assured that the centralization of food preparation has not resulted in any emplayee- lay-offs. A meal exchange plan with sls ‘ ter Food Service and Hgverford is in the final stages. At present it involves two programs, an aca- demic need to feed program and a social need to feed program, For Haverford students who have to eat at Bryn Mawr for academic reasons, Marriott has planned that they all eat in Erdman. They will’:be’ required to have some kind of meal ticket, plus. be able to produce on request their new plastic-coated all-purpose iden- tification cards, The social program is now set to increase the number of boys allowed to eat free at Bryn Mawr to 45 a week, 15 on Wednesday night and 15 each on Saturday and, Sunday. This doesn’t mean that they can’t eat at other times -- they can, but they must pay. End of Deanery (Continued from page 1) priate to the new _ setting, and it has not yet been decided what to do with them. Miss Thomas left the furnishings to the college, but entrusted their care to the Alumnae Association. Some of the most valuable items of the Deanery collection are the glass lamps and vases made by Louis Tiffany in the --1870’s. Many of them are now on display at the Philadelphia Mu- seum of Art, in the $35,000 Tiffany Collection. The new alumnae house will continue to be called Wyndham. It will not have as many rooms for rent as the Deanery did, only seyen..doubles with bath and one small apartment for the manager. The kitchen facilities will be great- ly improved as well as the - dining area. The new wing being built: now will hold the kitchen, a large dining room which can . be partitioned into three rooms for smaller gatherings, and a faculty dining room on the ground floor. The second floor will house , the alumnae association offices and a committee meeting room. The new wing is being entirely air conditioned, This new wing is being built on a curve around a stone terrace and a large chestnut tree. It is smaller than the present Wyndham and so will not overshadow it in any way. The « present Wydnham 1s renovated inside with new plumb- ing and electrical wiring. Wyndham itself is very old, the central part of it was built in 1796, The building is now about a month behind schedule. How- ever, the alumnae hope to be moving into Wyndham: during spring vacation at the latest. Present plans call for the new library to be open in 1969, which means construction must start on it in the near future. This construction cannot begin until the Deanery is down. construction is still blank. Alliance. . . (Continued from page 2) The goal of Alliance is to com- municate, to expose, to activate, to awaken and explore, to culti- vate, to grow. The programs for this year will be directed to this goal, with discussions and lectures on the national political scene, in- ternational conflicts, the role of students. We would like open dis- cussions among the faculty and stu- dents, particularly on the issue of democracy, in government and in © productive common goal? Does urban redevelopment solve any problems? Are political affairs predict- able? Should: the US divide, or change, in order to realize. de-~ mocracy? Alliance wants to see the world outside, and to help students in becoming. more informed. In a world where the amount of knowl- edge multiplies seven times a year, information is the beginning of the cure for a curious mind.

Social Action Committee Tries To Tie Social Problems To Students’ Concerns The Social Action Committee (SAC). is an action-discussion group under the umbrella of the general Alliance for Political Af- fairs. Ithas worked with the Haver- ford Social Action Committee on many projects. - : The purpose of SACI would say is to make students Aware of political and social problems which exist in their own lives, classes, and dorms, in the larger com- munity of the college, or in society. SAC tries to help students realize how they are bound up in these problems and toinvolve them in action which may work towards a solution. Last year SAC _ sponsored several educational programs. In the fall we held a series of in- formal Sunday seminars in the dorms on issues such as black power, the student movement, the draft, the responsibility of intel- lectuals. Discussions were led mostly by Bryn Mawr or Haver- ford professors, or people from the Philadelphia area. A teach- in on Vietnam was organized in photo by Kit Bakke On the left is the foundation for the new wing on Wyndham.

To make students think about peace in a different way, we put on a reading of Lysistrata, a peace play by. Aristophanes, during Vietnam Week. After a certain point, talking about issues only in a removed and intellectual way can seem meaningless and _ frustrating, and SAC encouraged more active expressions of belief, Last year we participated in several silent vigils, in protest of the war, on the campus and in the ville, and in Philadelphia. Buses were sent to the Spring Mobilization. The vigils and demonstrations were criticized for alienating those who hold different opinions about the war rather than encouraging dialogue and changing attitudes. They did demonstrate the personal : concern of students in the war. This year I think SAC could concern itself. more with direct action: in a community, be it Bryn Mawr, a Main Line high school, or South Philadelphia.
