THE COLLEGE NEWS LII, No. 4 Vol. BRYN MAWR, PA. October 7, 1966 C Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1966 25 Cents Dorm Vice Presidents Compose Infractions of Driving Rule Cause Committee on Housing Matters A new committee, designed to handle matters of student hous- ing, will come into being this week, Dorm vice presidents will form the membership of the com- mittee, The ‘group will be a’part of the Undergrad Association, This week the secretary of Undergrad will contact the committee members to arrange apreliminary meeting with Undergrad head Margaret Ed- wards. A meeting with Mrs. Mar- ‘shall will follow. -Designed to deal with problems~ of housing in the halls, the vice presidential panel will serve a “mediating function, It will sup- ply a means of communication between the dormitories and the administration. As an offshoot from the com- mittee, another group may be formed to deal directly with the Saga food service. By this means, students could help to regulate the amount of money spent onextra food items -and keep costs within the college budget, The housing board provides an Bet Cheduiick, right, and Margie Westerman research cure for common cold in Jun- ior Show. Juniors Rehearse Planetary Musical For Friday Debut Junior Show, bearing the double title of ‘‘Up in the Air or Down to Earth,” will open a two-night stand in Goodhart Hall Friday, October 7, and Saturday, October 8. Described as a science fiction comedy, the play features an inter- planetary cast of characters and an age-old feud, The authors are Wendy Fein, Janet Kole, and Mar- | cia Ringel. Hints from rehearsal refer to a musical with special sound ef- fects that are ‘‘cataclysmic.’? The music is electronic, and the cos- tumes are “gorgeous.’’ ‘The plot line includes ‘‘lots of love action?’ of an interplanetary nature, The characters: of the play are inhabitants of the feuding planets of Gedolya and Marmelini, Scien- tific research, in quest of a cure for the common cold, and the as- sistance of some ad men contribute to the eventual reconciliation. Co-directors Priscilla Robbins and Jackie Siegel have experienced one rehearsal snag, when the foot- lights blew aad left the stage in darkness, The €quipment has been repaired for the Thursday night dress rehearsal ', premiere performance, — “Tickets are now on sale for the Saturday night performance at a cost of $1.25.

Frida y's - expansion of the present respon- sibilities of the hall vice presi- dent, Through the new body, vice presidents will have an effective voice in policy matters for the entire campus, While still in its planning stages, the committee is ex- pected to expand in importance. It may eventually consider such issues as the fifth-year off-cam- pus housing regulation. The structure of the committee remains undecided. Members themselves will determine whether to establish a general panel or to select a chairman. Calling of Emergency Legislature The Self-Gov driving rule, put into effect only last year, is pres- ently so out of hand that an emer- gency meeting of Legislature is being called to attend to the situa- tion prior to constitutional revi- sion, according to Self-Gov pres- ident Jane Janover. The problem, says Jane, is one of administration, As the rule stands now there is no effective way for Self-Gov either to grant permission or to insure that the rule is obeyed. As of now, for example; ‘there is exactly one student on the whole New Officers Take Over Two important campus ‘soft ffices were, finally filled for this. year when votes were tallied Wednes- day for Secretary of Undergrad and Chairman of Curriculum Com- mittee, Sarah Matthews was in charge of conducting the election, with the help of hall Undergrad reps, as voting went on all day Tuesday. Freshmen Receive Official Welcoming At Lantern Night Lantern Night, perhaps the most memorable welcome the fresh- man class receives at Bryn Mawr, will take place Friday, October 14, (or Saturday, Oct. 15, in case of rain) at 7:30 p.m. in the library cloisters. This year nearly 218 sopho- mores will present dark blue lan- terns to 222 freshmen, Both classes are presently practicing the traditional Greek songs that have been sung for over 60 years. There is only one deviation from last year’s procedure under con- sideration: some people have ob- * jected to the sophomores running into a corner to sing ‘‘Pallas Athena” quickly after the proces- sion,’ Tickets will be evasleble to the general public for $.75 and to stu- dents and children under 12 for $.40.

Andrea has some projects al- ready planned, She.wants, for ex- ampie, to publish reading lists for students who want to know during the summer what their next year’s reading will be. She also wants to encourage ‘‘co- ordination among students with dif- ferent majors’? -- coordinating activities: of academic clubs, for instance.

O ns As campus wno has her car here in complete accordance with the rule as it stands. Further, on succes- Sive days, 35, 45, and 28 cars have ybeen counted on the Erdman parking lot that do not have stick- ers and are therefore illegally parked, Without a police force, it appears ‘impossible to trace the owners of the cars or to have the cars removed from campus, Jane’s most significant point, however, was that there is a wide- spread feeling that the driving rule.does not properly come un- der the heading of an honor sys- tem rule. By allowing such dis- regard and disrespect for the existing rule to continue, the ef- fect of the honor system as a whole is undermined, Monday night Executive. Board will meet to draw up its exact proposal for change, and express its reasons for whatever altera- tions suggested. Thereafter, the matter passes from _ Self-Gov’s hands into Legislature’s jurisdic- tion (see page four), As the rule stands now, the procedure for keeping cars on campus or within a three-mile limit of the campus is as fol- lows: Students submit written re- quests“fo Executive Board mem- ber Martha Taft, If these are passed by Executive Board, they are sent to the President’s of- fice, with whose consent the per- mission is given, The student fills outforms deal- ing with insurance and parental permission, is issued a sticker by the President’s office, and only then is allowed to bring her car to cafnpus, or within the three- mile limit, However, people are bringing their cars to campus before hav- ing received permission, or are bringing them without even seek- ing permission. Many. who may keep cars within the three-mile limit in places like gas stations or private garages are leaving them on campus instead, ° In addition to the driving rule, Self-Gov is still setting up the machinery for constitutional change set for this semester, and planning. discussions of last spring’s men-in-rooms question= naires, Education Goals Session Airs Lack of Participation Problems Dean Marshall opened the first session of the Educational Goals Seminars .by speaking of .innova- tions in the ‘‘college trade,’’ The meeting took place in the Common Room Monday ‘hight and was at- tended by about 50 people, witha large representation from. the faculty and administration, Speaking besides Mrs, Marshall were Drewdie Gilpin, ’68, and Bella Lisook, °67, Dr. L, Joe Berry moderated, The three talks were short and covered the new cur- riculum; the apparent place of a student’s academic studies in her life as a whole; and the difficulty, but the distinct possibility, of spending time in the arts or of pursuing area studies while getting an A,B, ‘at Bryn Mawr, Mrs, Marshall reviewed the re- vised curriculum, which has now been in effect for a year, She said its purpose was to allow for the growing variation in the incoming freshmen’s backgrounds, Its suc- cess can be somewhat measured by the trend toward smaller 100 level courses and larger 200 level courses, and by the number of freshmen in 300 language courses, This diversity, of high school prep- aration requires a greater amount of personal counseling, which Mrs, Marshall said worked ‘‘pretty well’’ last year, The Curriculum Committee, in making its changes, reaffirmed sofhe of the main principles of a Bryn Mawr education: 1) that intro- ductory courses are better when they actually teach a subject than when they, merely describe it; 2) that inter-departmental courses should occur late in a student’s undergraduate studies; 3) thatarea specialization (Russian literature, history, politics and language for example) should not be encouraged until the graduate leyel; and 4) that an A,B, in a discipline should & ~involve a great deal of in-depth studies, Bella and Drewdie both talked about the co-ordination of a girl’s four academic cgurses and the rest of her life, Bella’s point was that there were incredible opportuni- ties for learning here, but that the student really had to take the initiative herself and ask when she did not know something. She dis- missed as. ridiculous the idea that a girl’s life began when she put away her books, Drewdie said that at Bryn Mawr, we can do as much as we want, but sometimes it takes real effort, Specifically, she mentioned the dif- ficulty in spending time inthe arts, and in trying to specialize in an (Continued on page 6) Alliance Program On American City Set for Tuesday Eugene Schneider, of the Bryn Mawr Sociology Department, will give the kick-off lecture in a series sponsored by Alliance on “The ° American: City,’?*~ He will speak in the Common Room at 8:30 Tuesday, October 11.

Drive My Car Self-Gov is being taken for aride, and the calling of the emergency Legislature may represent its decision to get out and walk. When the driving rule was passed last year, it was meant to. be a convenience ‘for: members’ of the student body other than leaders of organizations, Under the present. system, students may’ keep cars within a three-mile radius of the campus, providing they comply with Self-Gov and the President’s office. But despite the number of students’ cars which are apparently in use, there is only one person who has registered her car according to the rules, What is so disturbing about the whole problem is that Self-Gov is not faced with infractions due to the unclearness of the driving rule, but rather with outright violations of a rule perfectly simple in its stipulations, i.e. see Martha Taft and fill out the appropriate forms, However, give ’em three miles, and they’ll take an inch, or, to be more specific, a space in Erdman parking lot. The implications of the situation involve a disregard and disrespect for Self-Gov rules, says the organization’s president. And this can mean loss of prestige for Self-Gov. It is significant that last year, when ‘the marijuana problem came up, Self-Gov delivered a state- ment clarifying its stand, rather than have the administration do so, in ordar that Self-Gov maintain its prestige as the guardian of the honor system. But we find it difficult to consider the driving rule comparable to other matters that fall under Self-Gov’s jurisdiction. The rule is a special privilege, not a standard for living in the college community. And Self-Gov is no police force, but the present driving rule set-up makes demands on Self-Gov that are not inherent in its nature. It would therefore be no particular slash at Self-Gov’s prestige if the driving rule were removed from its jurisdiction and given over, say, to the administration, which might better control violations by having wardens confront offenders in their dorms, where names of car-owners are no .special secrets, Where a ticketing system seems to have failed, wardens might succeed by warning offenders of their obliga- tions, In effect, wardens would be acting in the same administrative capacity as when they forbid girls to go barefoot in the dining hall or keep animals in the dorms. Whatever the solution, let us hope that the violators of the driving rule have not caused.a dilemna leading to its abolition. Arbitrary Intrusion The scheduling of the SAC discussion group for this Sunday afternoon in the Merion showcase. brought up some entirely unplanned-for prob- lems with the administration. Briefly, this is what happened. SAC decided to hold its first discussion on a Sunday afternoon because it thought that would be when a lot of people would ‘have some free time to sit and talk for a few hours. [It also decided to have it in the Merion showcase because it would be a iot less formal, and therefore more conducive to discussion, than the Common Room, and also because its chairman happens to live in Merion and had asked the dorm if they would mind (they wouldn’t), The complications began when the chairman was calledin by a member of the administration and told 1) present college policy frowns on meetings scheduled for Sundays; and 2) present college policy frowns on the use of dorm showcases for meetings and discussion groups sponsored by campus-wide organizations. Of course, the first things one thinks of are the many exceptions to either or both of these policies;.coffee hours, music concerts, Sunday volleyball games, and the Educational Goals meeting held last. night, to name a few. Clarification and some of the reasoning behind these policies appear to be thus; The Sunday ruling was an arbitrary choice of one day in the week in which meetings would not be scheduled,. apparently because the administration felt that there should be one day in the week in which meetings should not be scheduled. A student’s life is so crowded anyway, there should be atime in which.she does not feel pressed to attend anything. The fact that coffee hours are held on Sundays because that was the day most of the students wanted to attend them is seemingly ignored. The use of dorm showcases has not been encouraged because it is felt that the dorms are ‘‘homes” and should not become public meeting houses. This was especially clear last year with Erdman, when Clubs were denied the privilege of holding various functions there. This was done by the administration without contacting the hall president or finding out if a majority of the girls did indeed object to holding such meetings in some of the showcases. This again appears to be an arbitrary infringment:on the rights of the hall residents to democrat-_ ically decide some of the uses of their dorm, Our main point is that, assuming the consent of a majority of the ' dorm (with periodical votes on the subject), there should be no reason “why ~ the administration need ~ be involved -at all in-scheduling small’ discussions like the SAC discussion. The reason this should be limited to s.nall informal meetings is to avoid the necessity of the staff : being asked io do aiy overtime work, if it happens to be a Sunday, Bie ig os Perhaps the only thing that would be needed is a small student com- mittee designed to make sure that every dorm that wants one has a chance to host this kind of discussion. init herein Letters to the Editor Freudian Slip-Up To the Editor; Concerning Calamity Jane -- Emily McDermott’s article in the last issue of the NEWS mentioned ‘outdated psychological theories” as the topic of Dr. Temeles’ hy- giene lecture, The lecture was a straight-forward if not very com- prehensive presentation of Freud’s theory of personality structure and development. In that psychoanaly- tic theory, strictly speaking, hasn’t progressed much beyond Freud, and in that this theory still exerts a profound influence, it could hardly be called ‘‘out- dated.”? On the other hand, there certainly are a number of more modern theories which could equally well have been discussed in a lecture on a topic so broad as ‘‘Personality.’’? It was unfor- tunate (and perhaps negligent) that Dr. Temeles didn’t at least mén- tion the existence of alternate “theories” of personality, choosing instead to present Freud’s theory not as theory but as fact. This kind of omission, however, is bound to come up in a lecture series which purports to cover the topics of mental health, sex, and pressing health problems in all of five lectures. And we all know that increasing the num- ber of hygiene lectures would be unbearaole as well as unreason- able, It was my impression that the audience reaction was based more on lack of comprehension than on ‘¢condescension.” Either way, if the quality of the information im- parted in the hygiene program cannot be improved, the usefulness and assumed value of the whole requirement is thrown into ser- ious doubt, Susan deninaber: 767 Apology To the Editor: I would like to correct a blunder I made in my review of _ the - hygiene lecture.in the COL- LEGE NEWS ldst-week, I apolo- gize for changing Miss C, Men From B.A.G.E.,L.

This committee is completely autonomous, electing its own president, vice president, and sec- retary, and establishing its own rules of procedure, Its members are to go through the Constitution and propose changes at thelr own discretion, --they have porated all - their ‘proposals they request that Legislature be called by Self- Gov.

Friday, October 7, 1966 THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three Alaskan Anthropological Finds «Give Clues to Eskimo Culture by Kit Bakke Anthropology teacher Herbert Alexander, his wife, and a 1966 graduate’ of Bryn Mawr Vicki Graftstrom spent three weeks this summer in the northern Brooks, Range in the Arctic areas of Alaska, From Mr, Alexander’s descriptions, it sounds as if they were racing around digging up arti- facts, throwing them in sacks, moving up river, stopping and dig- ging some more, then taking time out to shoot caribou and catch trout before moving on again. This July was the third time Mr. Alexander has been to Alaska, and he is already looking forward to going back next summer. The possibilities for anthropological research there seem to be un- limited. He wants to take about six students with him. next time. They don’t have to be anthropology majors, he said; rather it is im- “portant that theybe able to ‘‘put up with the peculiar conditions of the Arctic.’? These conditions amount to millions of mosquitoes, the midnight sun, and cold mist and rain every morning, as well as the usual conditions that go with camping out for a summer, The digging that went on this summer was amazingly fruitful. They found over 40 sites in the three weeks; as opposed to only 15 during the whole summer of 1962. Mr. Alexander said that some nights they would set up camp, get the fire going and then discover that they were sitting on top of another site. The artifacts they found were around 5000 years old, They are very tiny and distinctive: one-inch arrows, beautifully made; engrav=- ing tools . called burins; and various kinds of microblades. It is difficult to tell if these are from a culture related to the present day Eskimo, partly be- cause of the age of the artifacts, and partly because of the lack of a good definition of ‘‘Eskimo.”’ He does think that they belong to the Denbigh Flint Culture, rem- mants of which have been found around the Seward Penninsula in western Alaska, and in western Canada. These discoveries in the Brooks Range, ‘then, provide a tie- in between these earlier sites. The origin of these people is not clearly known. But because of some very similar. Arrowheads and burins Mr. Alexander has found in Texas; which are dated at 10,000 years, he thinks that it is possible that the Denbigh people followed the game up north as the ice from the last Ice Age receded. There were also some more recent objects uncovered: heated metal tools, pieces of snowshoes and part of an old guitar: This is significant because this area around Galbraith Lake and the Atigun River had always been con- sidered completely unoccupied and has never been fully explored. In fact, Mr. Alexander’s team didn’t see one other person the whole time they were there. The ‘morning fog and rain pre- cluded much work before 10 or 11 a.m, When they did get going though, they didn’t stop for lunch until evening, and then worked until two the next morning. This was per- fectly feasible, because the sun Akoué °67 Plans For May Arrival The 1967 Yearbook will come off the presses in May, but now, is the chance to purchase Akoué at the bargain price of $6.50.

The small- est of these trout was two feet long; and once they cast 20 times and caught fish on all but one cast. The largest was 33 inches, They also saw grizzly bears, moose and wolves.

Theatre Announces Cast; Nightly Rehearsals Begin College Theatre’s fall produc- tion of Shakespeare’s ‘‘Winter’s Tale”? will be given on the new Bryn Mawr stage in Goodhart on the fourth and fifth of November. The Theatre tries to do one Shakespeare every year. It was thinking of doing a Ben Jonson masque because of its combination of music, dancing and acting, but ran into financial and other pro- blems. Director Bob Butman is still hoping to do one in the spring. ‘‘Winter’s Tale’? itself has two dances and four songs in the sec- eOond half, The cast has been given permission to use -Christopher Frye’s music from John Gielgud’s English production of the play, directed by Peter Brook, This play was written inShakes- _ peare’s later years, and, according Letters to the Editor - (Continued from page 2) Education To the Editor: : Monday night’s meeting of the Educational Goals Committee raised a major question: Why is Bryn Mawr ‘College so dull? In trying to pinpoint the cause it became clear that both the aca- demic and non-academic sides of Bryn Mawr life were character- ized by a lack of spontaneity and involvement, Suggestions for curriculum re- forms, while valuable in them - selves, served only to remedy specific gripes, leaving the basic problems unsolved, We believe that a Bryn Mawr education in- volves an integration of academic and extracurricular experience, and is stifled by the all too frequent compartmentalization of work and play. We live in a community of un- exploited potential, Too often the exercise of freedom isolates us and defeats the goal of the individual existing and participat- ing in the community. Unin- spired classes, a perfunctory approach to daily tasks, a feeling of campus oppression which com- pels us to seek’ our intellectual stimulation outside college are all symptomatic of an attitude which fails to grasp the essence of Bryn Mawr, With its faculty, administra- tion, and student body, Bryn Mawr offers all the natural re- sources for a dynamic aca- demic and personal experience, But they become valuable only when used to advantage by students who are willing to commit them- . selves. to. a. total experience, | Freshman Show draws ‘upon the writing, composing, directing, and performing talents of an entire class, bringing freshmen to- gether in a_ single’ pursuit that is remembered as a high point in their Bryn Mawr years, A college career involves more * than 15 1/2 courses, It brings together individuals of different talents, interests, and ambitions, ideally uniting them into a com- munity of reciprocal develop- ment, Education begins, not ends, with reading books, The classroom need not be the ex- clusive organ of __ intellectual activity. The student whois willing to bring the range of her experience to bear upon her personal studies, her classroom participation, and her relations with others will arouse a spirited response, And so while stimulating others, she expands and enriches herself. We would like to propose several suggestions designed to remedy both the symptoms and their cause, Their success will depend not only upon the Big Six, but alsoupon student initiative outside the framework of campus organiza- tions, 1, Clear distinctions between seminar and lecture courses in catalogue descriptions; ¢ 2.

Liz Bennett ’68 Leslie Spain ’67 Laura Krugman ’67 Pi cketing To the Editor; The publicity for the current NAACP pickets in Ardmore pro- testing discrimination in the Lower Merion school district has left a lot unsaid. Students have been ask- ing what the demonstrations are all about. After talking with Frank- lin Kalman, a member of the Main Line Branch of the NAACP, I thought I could pass on some more infofmation about the background of the pickets and about the issues involved. : According to the figures of the. Lower Merion School Board, there are 512 white teachers and one negro, 48 white clerks and no negro, 15 white principals and no negro, and 18 bus drivers and one negro, in the school district. After some research, the NAACP found 40 cases of negro teache ers over the past few years who had applied for jobs in Lower Merion. They were rejected by the School Board, Later they were accepted in other suburban areas of Philadelphia, and in the city itself. Many of these applicants were Main Line negroes with ad- | vanced degrees, With these facts in mind, the NAACP asked for a meeting with the School Board to discuss the situation. They were turned down. Then at an opening meet- ing of the Board on September 19, NAACP appeared ahd made several demands, They asked for an end to discriminatory hiring practices on the part of the School Board. They demanded a better counselling program, since negro parents have complained that their children. are being. discouraged from going to college. They re- quested that a qualified negro be appointed to fill the next vacant seat on the School Board. to Butman, is ‘‘suffused with the brilliance of his mind.’’ He con- siders it a good play for Haver- ford and Bryn Mawr to put on, because it is a Shakespeare that is,not usually seen on the pro- fessional stage, The 30 cast members will be in rehearsal every night for the next four weeks, Butman and Nimet Habachy, College Theatre presi- dent, both agree that it will bea joy to work on the new Goodhart stage; they describe it as ‘‘beauti- ful, lovely.”’ From past experience, Butman is confident that this production will be done well. From 12 years of working with the Haverford Drama: Club and Bryn Mawr Col- lege Theatre, Butman: feels that he has compiled an astonishing statement of the excellent abilities of amateur actors, The cast consists of Steve Ben- net, Leontes; Joe Dickinson, Poli- xenes; Alex Swan, Camillo; Bob Sinclair, Antigonus; Bob Chand- ler, Cleomenes; Steve Philips, Dion; Richard Olver, Florizel; Barry Chamberlain, Archidemus; Richard Gartner, Old Shepherd, Chris Kopf, Clown; Peter Gar- retson, Autolycus; Barbara Grant, (Continued on page 7) i. — — fo earl, ava gow ‘ oF (Continued on page 8) Page Four THE COLLEGE NEWS Friday, October 7, 1966 Critical Belligerency, ConflictUrged Convening of Legislature For Potential Writers by New Prof An Intricate Procedure by Janet Oppenheim ‘¢Every session is a happening. People have a chance to explore their own ideas and you can never be sure what conflicts will develop from the discussion,”’ a Mr. Jerre Mengione describes _English 209 in these terms, adding with conviction that conflict is very good for a writer and that he hopes his Bryn Mawr _ students won’t siirink from the healthy critical belligerency natural to men, For the past five years, Mr. Mangione has beeu teaching writ- ing courses at the University of Pennsylvania. This year, for the first time,’ he is coming to Bryn Mawr once a week to teach Ex- perimental Writing. Such acourse, with each student writing and criti- cizing, is the only type of class Mr. Mangione would care to teach, He can’t envision himself handing down ‘‘nuggets of wisdom?’ from a lectern, Mr’. Mangione describes himself as a ‘**maverick in the teaching world,’? He became a member of the U. of Penn faculty with cre- dentials as a writer, rather than a scholar, Those credentials now include two novels, twonon-fiction works and a collection of short fables, LIFE. SENTENCES FOR EVERYBODY, which grew out of writing exercises duving work on his latest novel, NIGHT SEARCH. His first book, MOUNT ALLEGRO, was the subject of some literary controversy. BasedonM«¢. Mangione’s experiences as the son of Sicilian immigrants in Ro- chester, N.Y,, the book explores the problems of growing up in two distinct cultures, Although the author insisted that MOUNT AL- LEGRO was not fictional, it was published under the guise of a novel and appeared on best seller lists under both the fiction and non-fiction categories. Sicily—continues.to_provide—in- spiration for Mr. Mangione’s work, His experiences there on a Guggen- heim fellowship after the war, pro- vided the material for his third book, also non-fiction, REUNION IN SICILY. At the moment, he is working on a ‘‘personal. documen- tary,’?’ which he hopes to finish in a year, based on his oDserva- tions during six mouths of work with Danilo Dotci, the ‘*Gandhi of Sicily,’’ a writer d non- violent social reformer. On this last trip to Sicily, Mr. Mangione held a Fulbright Research fellow- ship. Despite the apparently autobi- ographical nature of these works, Mr..Mangione ma:ntains that his most revealing, most truly auto- biographical books are his novels, especially his first, THE SHIP IN THE FLAME, This novel deals with the frustrations, disappoint- ments and ultimate triumph of a group of refugees on a ship bound secretly for a Nazi camp in North Coffee Hours | Last spring’s morning coffee hours were so successful that this year they will again provide an opportunity for students to get better acquainted with girls from other halls, and to meet with pro- fessors on a casual basis, The schedule has been arranged so, that each hall will have a specific day, once every twoweeks, Monday, Oct. 10 Denbigh Tuesday, Oct, 11 Merion Wednesday, Oct, 12 Radnor Thursday, Oct. 13 Rhoads & | Batten at Rhoads Monday, Oct. 17 Pembroke West Tuesday, Oct, 18 Rockefeller, Wyndham (separately) ---Wednesday, Oct, 19 Pembroke East Thursday, Oct, 20 Erdman, Perry, & Tybach at Erdman »The coffee hours will run from 10:30 to 11:30, Coffee, tea, and mixed doughnuts will be served, ean Africa at the beginning of the war. His second novel, NIGHT SEARCH, published last year, grew from personal experiences with a fam- ous labor leader of the 1930°8, Even with a demanding teaching schedule, Mr. Mangione manages to ‘work on his present under- taking every day. He feels that such constant effort is absolutely necessary to maintain the mood of his book. Once his work. has been com- pleted and published, however, he. never re-reads it. He doesn’t tor- ture himself with what he might have done, but reserves his critical energy for his work at hand. He couldn’t even bring himself to read the Italian edition of MOUNT AL- LEGRO. In addition to his writing and teaching, Mr. Mangione has been National Coordinating Editor of the Federal Writers’ Projects, Special Assistant to the U.S, Com- mission for Immigration and Naturalization, and a book review- er for the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE and THE NEW RE- PUBLIC. The first job that he held after college was in the business and finance department of TIME maga- zine. The prevalent theory of the editorial board at the time was that the less on knew about a subject, the mere interestingly, originally one could write about it. Mr. Mangione asserts proudly that he disproved this theory in record time! Joint Social Action Committees Hold Seminar on Negro Revolt The first seminar in a series sponsored by the Bryn Mawr and Haverford Social Action Commit- tees will take place Sunday, Octo- ber 9, at 3:00 in the Merion show- case. The subject of discussion will be ‘‘New Directions in the Negro Revolt.?’ The program of this Sunday’s seminar will be informal, A tape of a speech by ‘Louis Lomax on ‘¢The Negro Revolt Revisited’? will by played. Jackie Williams, head of the Bryn Mawr Friends of SNCC, and Mrs, Judith .Porter, who teaches a course in Race Re~ lations in the Bryn Mawr Sociology Department, will act as discussion leaders, If students would like to read more about current trends in the civil rights movement before Sun- day, there isafolder oncivil rights on the SAC reserve shelf right out- side the reserve room, Along with other pertinent literature in the ‘ folder. is an issue of the New York Review of Books, containing an article by Stokley Carmichael, head of SNCC, explaining his posi- tion on black power, SAC hopes, in establishing a seminar program, to oven an.op- portunity for small groups of Bryn Mawr and Haverford students to discuss interesting issues inanin- formal atmosphere. SAC wants to draw largely on resources avail- able at Bryn Mawr and Haverford, neighboring schools, and in the surrounding area.

Rhoads Farm was given to the college by Charles Rhoads, a for- mer Director of the Board of Trustees, Now a highway is going through part of it, including a mill pond on which the Anthropology Department suspects a colonial mill may be located, The students will dig in the mill pond itself’ for the structure. It is fairly deeply buried under three or four feet of topsoil. This will give the students some good ex- . perience in digging and give them a feeling for some of the problems inherent in excavating, Last year the class dug in a plowed field southwest of Vailey Forge, but were unsuccessful in finding any undisturbed deposits, Assuming it doesn’t rain every Wednesday afternoon, this year’s class may have better luck, ty, students, and members of the outside community, Seminars will be held alternately at Bryn Mawr and Haverford on a regular basis. SAC hopes students and faculty will feel free to drop in and exchange their opinions over coffee, The success of the program de- pends on student interest in ex- pressing and forming opinions, and listening to others, If anyone would like to lead a discussion, or suggest a speaker or topic, she should let SAC know. Or if someone knows of a good film or article that could be usedas the basis for a discussion, all sugges- tions are welcome, Film Enthusiasts Plan to Produce Movie on Campus On Wednesday, October 5, the first meeting of a group of Haver- ford and Bryn Mawr students in- terested in making a film took place, After impressing upon each other the need.to keep up the in- terest in this project, in order to fulfill the tremendous gap of crea- tivity on the campuses, they began to discuss the problems involved in making a film. The biggest problem discussed by the 30 who attended seemed to be the problem of financial sup- port. It was decided that film- making was very expensive in- deed, and that support from an outside source would be neces- sary. It was finally decided that while the project is still in its preliminary stages, the first movie could be made using an 8 mm home movie camera, The next problem discussed was procedure. Where does one start when planning a film? Should it be a free film, or should there be a script? Should the first film be a silent one? The group hopes to produce three or four films this year, all of which they admit will probably be on a non-professional basis - ‘After all, we’re not D, W, Grif- fiths,”’ Donald Woodward Foreign Service Officer of the Department of State Will Be in the _-,, Common Room -4P.M., October 12. to Discuss Foreign Service Careers tS It is no secret that one of the most misused and poorly-under- stood of all Self-Gov rules is the driving rule. Due to a particularly widespread abuse of the rule this year, the Executive Board has asked for a Legisla- ture to be called to consider a proposed change in the rule, The exact formulation of this pro- posal will be posted in the halls October 11, However, be- fore the problem can be discussed it is vital that everyone be aware of what Legislature is, how it is ‘ Revision Process Clarified in Detail By Self-Gov Head (Continued from page 2) further suggestions from the floor, Following this, there will be hall meetings at which the joint recom- mendations of Legislature and the Revision Committee will be pre- sented and further suggestions will be proposed by individual students, Any such recommendation which is supported by ten or more students at the hall meeting shall be con- sidered acceptable, Finally all of these proposals will be given to the Executive Board, which is responsible for formulating them into a ballot, This ballot will be written in such a way that a vote of yes or no is possible on all issues, A two-thirds majority of the student body is necessary to ratify any proposed change, As complex as this procedure appears, it is clear that the re- sponsibility for effective revision is the individual student’s, Without your direct participation no re- vision is possible; and revision is extremely necessary. The Consti- tution as it now stands contains many provisions that are archaic, unclear, and simply non-func- tional, It also contains rules which have been subject to much contro- versy, such as the Dress Rule, the sign-out procedure, the proce- dure for the nomination and election of officers, andthe calling of a Legislature, .This is your opportunity to discuss these rules and to suggest responsible changes, It is also an opportunity to dis- cuss things such as the Dinner System, the function of the Con- stitutional Revision Committee, the procedure for calling special elections, and the liaison between Self-Gov and the Undergraduate Association, All of these issues are now decided according to tradi- tion and thus often the cause of confusion and_ dissatisfaction, These are only a few suggestions of issues which might profitably be considered, I think above all that we must concentrate on developing revisions which will insure us of an understandable, functional, and complete Consti- tution, Sophs Considering Jr. Year Abroad Asked to Meeting Sophomores who are consider- ing applying for Junior Year Abroad programs are invited to a meeting with Mrs. Pruett Mon- day, October 17, at 4:30 p.m. in the Common Room, Seniors who have participated in.Junior Year Abroad programs will be present.

Why octo- pi? Psychologists study the evolution of intelligence in animals of different complexity and accord- ing to Dr.,Bitterman the octopus represents a peculiar transition-- it has many of the physical properties of a mammal (a com- paritively complex animal) while it is controlled by a simple brain. Thus in certain respects it is an ideal test case. Mr. Bitterman has been work- ing with these animals for several years now in Naples, Italy, where unknown to most tourists the supply of octopi is also quite plenti- ful. Conditions deteriorated, how- ever, and the psychologists could not work all year round, so last spring. Mr. Gonzalez and Mr. Bitterman went off in search of a new hunting ground. The lab sita- tion and facilities at Campeche were made available by the Mexi- “can-government through the offices of a friendly biologist at the Uni- versity of Mexico, Mr. Bitterman noted that the Mexicans welcome ‘‘research relations’’ with theU.S. The Bryn Mawr psychologist plans to spend some time over the Christmas holiday getting the lab into operating condition and then will go to work there during his leave second semester. There is no talk of possible termination dates for the Mexican research-- it will go on indefinitely and the pralbences expect to be joined by other psychologists, chiefly from Britain, if things work out as planned, The lab is now equipped to deal with three’ octopi at once, al- though Mr, Bitterman pointed out that there are usually 40 animals on hand in the lab at any given time. This is enough to strike terror into the heart of anyone who read 20 THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE’ SEA,_ but the psychologist was quick to point out that his octopi have little in common with Jules Verne’s mammoth man-eating monsters except that they all have tentacles; at their largest, the experimental subjects weigh about two pounds and have a tentacle spread of about two and a half feet. Even more surprising to the layman, these octopi are easily tamed, come to the front of the tank when the experimenter enters the room and eat out of his hand.

Bryn Mawr Graduate Joins College’s Admissions Ottice S tatt Upperclassmen may have noticed a familiar face among the Admissions Office personnel in Taylor--she’s Myra Mayman, a ’66 graduate of Bryn Mawr, currently working as Assistant to the Director of Admissions.. Myra was a German major, who won the Hester Ann Corner Prize for Distinction in Literature last year. She spent her junior year abroad at the university in Freiburg. Myra’s duties include not only interviewing prospective freshmen, but also handling applica- tions from foreign students and serving as a link between the administration and alumnae. She also travels around the country in order to ‘‘advertise Bryn Mawr--not to recruit... I don’t think it?s worthy of Bryn Mawr to go re- cruiting.’’ Myra just returned from Chitenis, and is al- ready talking about a trip to Washington, D,C., October 22 for a conference on scholarships for Negro students, Apparently perfectly at home in her job, Myra described a few interviews to illustrate her tech- nique. For example, she often asks an applicant what she would change about her high school if she could. *‘One girl thought her English teacher was lacking in her background in a certain period of history, and another thought lunch periods were too short.’ — After she had interviewed another girl, Myra sent her out with a campus guide, who later reported that the applicant revealed she had chosen: Bryn Mawr because she had Seen so many well-dressed Mawrters infashion magazines. The Admissions Office, needless to say, was mildly amused. Along the foreign student line, Myra para- phrased the letter of one applicant whom she discouraged while the discouraging was good; ‘IT am an 18-1/2 -year-old Chinese male, and I’m interested in studying chemical engineer- ing. Pleise send an application form.” Myra Mayman When Myra travels on her “public relations’? tours, ‘‘I?m honest--I tell people they can be miserably unhappy at Bryn Mawr, depending on their own individual efforts, ‘You’re on your own,’ as Miss McBride told us at our freshman tea.?? As for admissions policy itself, Myra is par- ticularly impressed with Bryn Mawr’s, At some schools, she said, applications are run through an IBM machine and channeled out into a waste basket if a college board score is below 590. But at Bryn Mawr, Myra looks for those ‘‘who aren’t normal plodders, but who have some in- terest and imagination, *sSo not only are you treated as an indivi- dual at Bryn Mawr--you’re treated as an indi- vidual before you get here,”?

Serendipity Day Camp Reveals Winter PlansforLocal Children At Haverford this year Bob Gor- chov, with help from Alice Leib and ‘Liz Freedman among others, is trying to make. the facilities of Haverford more available to children from the nearby Ardmore area, Encouraged by the overwhelm- ing success of the Serendipity Day Camp set up at the college during the last three summers, the three students are planning an hour-a-week dance class for Ardmore girls ages 11 to 13, an arts and crafts class for boys and girls, and a Saturday morn- ing basketball program for boys ages 11 to 14, These’. sessions would be purely voluntary for all concerned; one of the major prob- lems .in selecting activities was finding those which could gener- ate and maintain sufficient inter- est for the children to come back week after week, For this reason the idea of a chorus or a drama group was eliminated, although Bob pointed out that any sugges- tions or volunteers would be more than. weleome; The program is designed to supplement. the work of the Haverford tutorial project in Ardmore although it operates independently, The children are mostly within walking distance, and news of the project must be spread primarily by word of mouth and posters in churches, Nevertheless atthe first basketball practice last Saturday between 30 and 40 boys turned up.

LA 5-3375 874 Lancaster Ave. Bryn Mawr Haverford, when a faculty com- mittee joined forces with some students who had begun some in- formal work of théir.own, The faculty committee, according to Steve Gold, was ashamed of the fact that all summer long the empty land and fields of Haver- ford were tightly guarded while the local children had no place to play. From the other end, two boys had begun to go out into the field in the spring with a vol- leyball, and to their surprise and delight, boys turned out ‘‘in droves,’’ The result of the combined ef- forts of students and faculty was the Serendipity Day Camp, which has now operated for three sum- mers and ¢s expanding faster than its originators dreamed possible, The first year they had no money and 90 children during July and August; the second year they raised $10,000 and enrolled 110 children in each of their three three-week sessions, Last sum- mer the organizers of the camp obtained a $31,000 grant from the : Office for Economic Opportunities, Community Action Programs, and were able to hire professional teachers of music, science, re- medial reading and art, thus shift- ing the emphasis of the camp from sports to educational and creative activities, A recordnum- ber of 360 children and 15 junior counselors were involved, and the camp is being offered as a model for the efforts of other commun- ities, From another point of view, the damage to the Haverford campus from the Ardmore side has de- creased substantially in the last three years, It was the tremendous interest and enthusiasm shown by the boys and girls, however, that brought about this winter program anditis to be hoped that the eagerness on both sides will bring about con- tinued improvement in the over-all situation, Plaza 8.

He would not accept Reverend Had- ley Williams, a member of the Main Line Human Relations Coun- cil, as a mediator for a joint meeting. After a meeting on Monday, Sep- tember 26, the NAACP decided to picket. They planned to avoid the Lower Merion schools, since some parents were afraid of danger to their children. They directed the demonstration toward the Lower Merion Administration Building in Ardimora. The picket now set up in front of the building is sym- bolic. There are 15 participants, each one representing a Lower Merion school. The pickets started Friday, Sep- tember 30, and they are continuing every day this week, They take place in the morning from 9:15 - 9:45.
