Questionnaire Answers Reveal

As_ Additions



TENNIS CONGESTION
SHOULD BE ALTERED



The sports writers on the College
News were more than pleased with the

response shown to the questionnaire
which was circulated last week-end.
We have long planned to conduct a
survey of college sentiment on athlet-
ics, and we chose this occasion as a
parting fling before our departure into
the shades of grateful retirement. The
intention of the questions was to get a
general expression of undergraduate
sentiment about the purpose of,an ath-
letic prégram and to attempt to find
out what other sports. students would
like to have provided if it could be ar-
ranged. We did not undertake the
survey in a spirit of criticism, but sim-
ply as a matter of interest, and the
results should be interpreted in this
light.

There are those who feel that inter-
est in athletics is at a fairly low ebb
at present and who look to the ‘‘good
old days” when everyone came out and
cheered for their class teams and great
throngs attended varsity contests —
shades of the poor forlorn gatherings
we have occasionally seen observing
some of our recent contests. Perhaps
athletics were overemphasized then,

_ but they are if anything underempha-

sized now. We can speak with a fair
measure of authority for we received
149 answers, which represents rough-
ly 40 per cent. of the college.

Students in general expect to get ex-
ercise, enjoyment, health, and training
in sports which will be useful: after
college from the program in athletics.
Several people took occasion to have
their fling at required athletics, and
six-said that they thought they should
be eliminated. One of them felt quite
strongly that college studentapierre
“past the age of co-operation”
therefore organized sports were, a
waste of time.
times when the authorities think th
we are past that age, but as a general
rule we like to think that most of us
are still willing to work with others.

Drive Is: Publicized
in New York Papers



Bryn Mawr’s Million Dollar Drive
is on its way to winning a million dol-
lars’ worth of advertising as well. On
both March 17 and 18, the New York
Times and the New York Herald-Trib-

une. printed accounts of our money-

raising activities and displayed pic-
tures of our committees.

In the Sunday Herald Tribune, a,
photograph of the New York mem-
bers of the Undergraduate Drive Com-
mittee held a prominent place. The
Sunday Times included, besides this

same picture, a detailed report of

campus projects for winning funds.
Not even our sacrifice of desserts was

forgotten in the long list of enter-

prises intended to contribute towards
the undergraduate quota of $20,000.

On Monday, the alumnae program
received its share of attention. The

Times and the Herald Tribune both
held at

on April 16. This celebration in honor
of Bryn Mawyr’s 50th anniversary will
be only a part of a series occurring
on that same day in different cities
throughout the country—in Chicago,
San Francisco, St. Louis, and Port-
land, Oregon.

In the féte sponsored by the New
York alumnae, the feature will be the
opening of a Garden df Nations on an
outdoor terrace of the RCA Building.
d| Bridge games, a buffet luncheon, a
fashion show and reception will all be
going on at the same time in different
guilding. As guests of
honor there will be present many ce-
lebrities of the stage and screen, and
to entertain them the New York alum-
nae will be hostesses.



Fortune Scrutinizes Bryn Mawr to Find
Us Free, Nonchalant, And Well-Dressed



The college can scarcely have failed
to get wind of the fact that there is
an exciting new project in progress on
the campus: Bryn Mawr is being in-
vestigated! Mrs. Standen and Mr.
Hobson of the staff of Fortune, with
the able assistance of J. Hopkinson,
35, and P, Little, ’35, are rounding
up the students to pose them queries
of a most entertaining nature. Be-
fore the question, “What is your chief
interest?” many an undergraduate has
come to a full and baffled stop, and
many more will doubtless feel a like
embarrassment before the ten days of
Mrs. Standen’s visit are unfortunately
over. We have heard rumors, which
Mrs. Standen firmly denies, that
among-the questions are, “Are you a
Pacifist? Are you a Communist? Has
your opinion on these matters chang-
ed since you have come to college?” but
even if this is not the particular in-
formation which she is seeking, all of
her questions are carefully calculated
to give us to pause and think.

Mrs. Standen’s present impressions
of the Bryn Mawr girl, which she ad-
mits have been gathered ‘in a day and
a half, and will-doubtless.be revised by.
the end of the ten days, are that she
is rather individualistic in the sense
of doing what she likes, and that she
is not opposed to the college authori-
ties. She is singularly free of rah-
‘rah college spirit, and, contrary to the

popular impression of Bryn Mawr, is

not. particularly badly dressed. She

has also the advantage of being almost
completely left to nar own devices by

the college.



Mrs. Standen herself has led a va-
ried and far from monotonous exist-
ence. She has lived all over the Conti-
nent, has studied in Geneva, Berlin,
and at the London School of Econom-
ics, and has worked as a reporter for
an official news. agency at Geneva. For
three or four years, she reported the
international, disarmament and rep-

arations conferences, and then because‘

of her extensive knowledge of Italy
gained from having lived there, she
was secured by Fortune last year to
assist in preparing their Italian
number.

In view of Mrs. Standen’s apparent
ability to secure work of a most inter-
esting nature, she was immediately
pressed for Advice to the Young in
Quest of a Job. She believes that the
most important tool any young person
can have is an efficient knowledge of
shorthand and typing in several lan-
guages. For her own type of work
this knowledge has been essential, and
with it, plus the asset of a college edu-
cation, everyone is well prepared to
seek a job in newspaper or magazine
work. ¢

An unusual | point of view with re-}
spect to giris “was-cJineed by Mrs.
Standen, when she expressed her belief |
that women would profit more from a
college education if they had worked
before they came to college, and were

College Council Votes
For Library Reforms



Suspension Penalty Proposed
For Misusing Reserve Room
Book Privileges



POLITICAL CLUB URGED



President’s House, March 13.—The
College Council has voted to suggest
that
the illegal removal of books from the

two innovations to the college:

Reserve Room and the Art Seminary
should be punished in the future by
and that a

Political Union, probably modeled on
the Oxford Union, and aiming to train
women by means of lectures, debates

suspension from college,

and discussions to take part-in poli-|

tics, should be organized this spring.
If the misuse of Reserve Room and
Art Seminary books is not completely
stopped by this new measure, the pos-
sibility of having all books checked
by the librarians.as they.are-removed,
will-be brought before the undergrad-
uates for discussion. -The Council also
decided that the faculty should be en-
couraged to urge the students to buy
more books, and discussed the ques-
tions of Big May Day, the Greek play,

and smoking in the Deanery. No ac-:

tion has yet been taken by the faculty
on the abolition of scheduled quizzes.

The college authorities feel very
strongly that the problem of misusing
books is serious: a student who is
either so careless or so dishonest that
she inconveniences the rest of the col-
lege by removing books which are in
demand, is not fit. to be a member of
the college community.. One student
was discovered to have twenty-seven
books missing from the Reserve Room,
the stacks, and the Hall library in her
room, and another illegally removed a
book which was in great demand from
the Aesthetics reserve. Both students
have been warned that if they offend
in this way again, they will be asked
to leave college, in the first case per-
manently, and in the second tempor-
arily. A chapel announcement will be
made that in future this ruling will
apply to the whole college, and that
it will be invoked for first offenders
without further warning. ©. @&

If this measure does not prove suf-
ficiently effective, the undergraduate
body will be asked to consider the pos-
sibility of ngt allowing the students
to enter the Reserve Room or Art
Seminary, but of having librarians in
both places who will get the books for
the students and make i be any
one student gets only the books she
has reserved. While it is possible that
this measure might delay the ten
o’clock removal of books for overnight,
a similar procedure is followed in
Hmany other colleges and works with
considerable rapidity, because the li-
brarians are swifter in finding the
books than the students. - It would be
highly undesirable to lock up the
stacks in the same way, since freedom

consequently more mature. The enter- pot f the stacks is a necessary privilege,
u

ing age could profitably be raised to19
or 20, so that women could learn to
form a sound opinion rather than
spend = in accumulating a
large num of facts. wm



t the Reserve Room and Art Semi-
nary books are more nearly the prop-
erty of the entire college. In any case;
a graduate student has been delegated

French Play and Dance

Will Aid Alumnae Drive



(Especially contributed by
E. Thompson, ’35)

The French Club of Bryn Mawr
College will present on Saturday,.
March 23, in Goodhart Hall, its an-
nual play, to be followed by a dance
in the Deanery. The performance
this year will be Maurice Maeter-
linck’s Soeur Béatrice, directed by
Mlle. Maud Rey. It is an ambitious
play for amateurs to attempt, _be-
cause it involves such deep religious
feeling, such delicacy and poignancy
in its emotional conflict. It is the
well-known legend of a nun who for-
sakes her duty to the Virgin. The
scene is laid in a convent of the
fourteenth century throughout all
three acts. The changes of light up-
on the set, the light of the lamp
hanging by the image of the Virgin,
the light that comes at dawn through
the rich stained-glass window and
falls like jewels on the statue, the
moonlight and the snow seen through
the open door, the unearthly light of
the miracle which shines about the
Virgin, all-produce—variety— of effect
and accompany the changing moods
of the play. - All the richness of de~

‘tail is contrasted with the simplicity

of the play’s skeleton. The detail of
the costumes of the period, the bells,
the chanting of plainsong, the won-
ders of the miracle itself, with its
light, music, and sudden burst of
flowers, all are to be worked out with
care. This play, under the capable
direction of Mile. Rey, should be very
beautiful and moving.

The lighting for this presentation
is in charge of Sophie Hemphill, ’37,
and Elizabeth Webster, ’38. Scen-
ery was designed by Rebecca Davis,
31, Alice Shurcliff, ’38, Mary Hutch-
ings, ’37, Anne Reese, ’36, and Ann
Fred, ’38. E. L. Davis, "37, and
Anne Edwards, ’37, ‘are in charge of
the props. The costume: designing
was done by P. Majiship, ’36, M.
Lewis, ’37, E. Bryan, ’38;.and A. A.
M. Graves, ’37, and the stained glass
window by S. Morse, ’35. I. Ferrer,
37, arranged and directed the music,
while Laura Richardson is the organ-
ist. M. Whalen, ’38, J. Stern, ’36,
and H. Harvey, ’37, are directing the
publicity. “

The tickets for Soeur Béatrice are
$1.00 and $.75, with a $.25 reduction
to students: For the following dance,
the tickets are $2.25 a couple and
$1.00 stag. All the proceeds of the

than would be possible if the old
routine were not broken and old

habits were not disestablished. This
fellowship, a magnificent gift to a
good. scholar, has been held by many
distinguished members of the facul-
ties at ten of the prominent . colleges
in America. Miss Stearns, who re-
ceives it for this year, obtained her
A. B. at Smith College ih 1931, and
her M. A. at Bryn Mawr in 1983.
In 1933-34 she was a graduate schol-
ar at Radcliffe and during the past
year she has been a graduate student
and reader in Philosophy at Bryn
Mawr College. She proposes to
study at, Oxford and at Edinburgh
with the great English and Scotch
students of Plato, Aristotle, Kant,

and Hegel. Letters overwhelming in
their “commendation ‘were written
from Snfith, Harvard, and Bryn

Mawr, including one from Professor
Whitehead who declared that Miss
Stearns was “receptive, critical, and
speculative, and a difficult philosophic
adversary,”

Because ‘of the drop in the income
of the fund it is impossible to award
the Fanny Bullock Workman Schol-
arship, a great catastrophe because
three of the candidates recommended
‘are of unusual promise. But two
European Fellowships have been
awarded to Bryn Mawr graduates
from other sources. Miss Ruth Whit-
redge, “Fellow in French, has. re-
ceived the Fanny Bullock Workman
Scholarship of $1,200- at Wellesley
College which she will use for re-

search in Paris. Miss Mary, Zelia
Pease, Ph.D., Bryn Mawr, 1933, has
been awarded the Alice Freeman

American Association of University
Women, which she will use for study
in Greece of Imitations of Attic and
Corinthian Pottery.

The Peoples’ Choice

In our stay at Bryn Mawr we have votedfor undergraduate
officers (1) because they were practically the only people on campus
whose names we knew, and (2) because they rode bicycles well or
had once proved their girlhood mettle at some camp we had attended.
In consequence, we found that as a general rule, we elected very -cap-
able people and were spared every year a good deal of trouble poring
over friends’ talents and over their less exciting virtues in the
mental line. On the other hand when we stop to consider the actual
number of people who hold college offices in the course of four years,
we note that the number js very small, and that it is so because year

our

in, year out, we elect the same people to office. We are very fortunate
. in that our practice of nominating and electing automatically has not

reduced the efficiency of the boards so chosen. Our only, complaint is
that a great-many talented undergraduates are. never nominated for
office, and obyiously never elected. The only reason for opening Self-
Government, League, A. A., and Undergrad nominations to general
class meetings, was that:the best possible material may be found im
the college. We are reminded that ‘all offices demanding particular
knowledge or skill aré filled by making a board self-perpetuating ; and
that all offices demanding no particular talents, but general efficiency
and intelligence, are filled by appointment. The offices that are filled
by college vote are the most important in the college; they demand the
students with the qualities of leadership ‘and efficiency in the highest
degree and every year they need new people,with fresh ideas.

With the approach of elections for 1935-36 we wish to suggest
that. careful consideration be given to the merits of the nominees and
that nominations be made with more_interest and care. There are, we
believe, more subtle and no less sturdy merits among us than the

accomplished riding of bicycles.



Politics to the Fore

One of the most surprising characteristics of the Bryn Mawr
campus in recent years has been its lack of interest in polities. Oceca-
sionally, when wars have seemed imminent or when the administration
has perpetrated what we considered an outrage, there has been an
outburst of indignation about the erring ways of the politicians, but
there have, been no organized attempts to discuss national politics on
a basis of constructive criticism. :

Politics is one of the fields in which women are playing an
increasingly important role, but it is also one for which definite train-
ing in making speeches and in playing the political game are neces-
sary. While the working of the political sy stem may be learned in
courses, there is no time in a course to give the students that training
which must be the equipment of every person who plans to work in
this field. At the time that some of our more famous Bryn Mawr
alumnae worked to gain the vote for women, it was expected that
women would take an active part in polities and would militate to

eliminate the corruption from which the American system of govern:

ment notoriously suffers. It has been one of the greatest sources of
their disappointment in this generation that we apparently take little

“interest in performing the task for which they so hopefully laid the

groundwork.
' A movement is now taking place in American colleges to stimu-

Jate unde duate interest in political questions by founding societies
in which current political problems can be hotly discussed and in
which the e students may have the opportunity to form a sound political
Ste phy as a basis for their future work. Such a union would be

eellent beginning for the necessary training in the procedure
hie i is ger followed in political organizations, and would permit

DEATH EX LIBRIS

It was the twenty-fifth of January.
A dark and_ stormy night. Wan
stretches of moonlight streaked the
snow. The library started up green
and horrible in the night. It was al-
most ten o’clock and everything was
hushed in dread anticipation of the ten
o’clock bell. Nothing was. stirring.
Mirabel pulled the coat closer about
her and whipped around the draughty
spaces of Pem Arch. It was a queer
night. (N. B., you detectives. Very
queer.) You could see Taylor clock
in the moonlight pallor, O! much more
distinctly than usual.
Mirabel looked up—three minutes to
ten. Barely enough time to make the
library. The clock hand clicked one
minute nearer the zenith. Mirabel
sped on, past the sandwich girls and
into the Reserve Room. She scanned
the Abnormal Psych shelf. No Secret
of a Hysteroid’s Success. was there to
be found. She swore softly, so as not
to attract too much attention to her-
self, but she swore several times over,
because after all, the exam was only
two days off and the entire class was
reading the book. She glanced at the
table. Good God! there it was! She
looked at it. Already signed up, Guf-

“fey, the grind, as usual. That girl was

never satisfied to read a book once
through. She had to sign it out per-
petually and re-read it.

Mirabel saw the girl at the desk
watching her peculiarly. She put the
book down and wandered to another
reserve. Finally the bell rang and all
of Bryn Mawr began to swarm into
the room, trying to get books. The
girl at the desk was busy. Mirabel,
watching for her chance, quickly
snatched the book and hurried out. She
bought a sandwich at the lib door and
then tore down the path and to her
room. One thing. She knew better
than to try it in the smoking-room
with the prospect of having Guffey
return upon her any minute. To be
sure, she _knew_better than that.__She
shut her room door, pulled the blinds
against any Peeping Toms and settled
down. AND THAT WAS THE LAST
THAT WAS EVER SEEN OF MIR-
ABEL DODD, ALIVE.



Heh! Heh! we shall continue this in
our next. Only we wish you would
solve it.

Cheerio—
THE MAD HATTER.



Voice of Bryn Mawr



To the Editor of the College News:
In an editorial in the March 13 is:
sue of the College News there are sev-
eral points to which I should like to
call attention. The writer of the edi-
torial says, “Bryn Mawr officially is
not allowed to make a pilgrimage ‘to
Vassar or Smith for the purpose -of
competition in basketball, hockey, ten-
nis, and other sports. If we go at all,
each individual girl takes upon herself
the responsibility of transporting her-
self thither and back, and the Bryn
Mawr Varsity team is actually -not
present in name, even though it lgoms

large as life in person. It-is doubt-

less true that this pronibition against ‘

engaging in organized activities is a
hindrance to us in arranging #ched-
ules with the other colleges.”

There are several misstatements in
the above sentences. Every other year
the Bryn Mawr varsity tennis team
goes—as the Bryn Mawr Varsity ten-
nis team—to Vassar, where a number
of matches are played with the Vassar
team. In alternate years the Vassar
team comes to Bryn Mawr. The en-
tire expense of each trip is shared by
the Athletic Associations of the two
colleges. In the same way, one ‘year
the Bryn Mawr varsity swimming
team goes to Swarthmore, and the
next year the Swarthmore team comes
here, the two Athletic Associations
sharing all expenses. In each of the
above cases the Bryn Mawr team is
officially present at the other college
as a Bryn Mawr varsity team.

The Athletic Association is in ac-
cord with the Administration and the
Physical Education Department - in
having no special desire at present for
further extension of our athletic rela-
tions with other colleges. We feel that.
the emphasis on varsity teams, with
their few members, should be no
greater than the emphasis on the
m@ch lar ger group of players who are
not on varsities.

The problem of time is necessarily
very important. For four or five girls
to go to Vassar every other year for
the tennis trip requires a great deal of
manoeuvering and planning. It would
be almost impossible to arrange such
a trip for a whole hockey team with-
out seriously affecting our full sched-
ules and academic work.

Another point is that such “pilgrim-
ages” as those suggested in the News
are quite- expensive, and since each
undergraduate contributes the same
amount of money to the Athletic As-
sociation, we feel that this money
should be spent as far as possible for
the bert of the ‘whole student body
rather than for a chosen few.

We do not want our varsity sports
activities to become a_ standardized
business of intercollegiate competition.
Several of the men’s colleges, which
have been embroiled in such a system
are now placing increasing emphasis
on smaller, more numerous, perhaps
less expert teams, on which are repre-
sented the greatest-possible number of
students. In a similar way we feel
that class teams are just as important
and deserving of support as are varsi-
ties.

The Athletic Association, therefore,
does not at present feel any special
need for furthering geographically

sion is perfectly possible, as is evi-
denced by the two already existing
cases; and as further need, desire,





rent governmental policies and measures.
It is proposed to start a political union at Bryn Mawr this spring,
at this conclusion of an investigation into the methods of organizing



and running such societies in other colleges. Debates, political speeches
and discussions would comprise the chief activities of the union, which
would probably become one of the major college organizations. Debat-
ing is one of the brighter and better sports, and the lack of it is
unfortunate at Bryn: Mawr because it requires formal training, is
excellent practice for. making speeches in any kind of executive work,
and is decidedly amiiSing and entertaining. Political lectures and dis-
eussions are likewise an. exciting form_of- activity, and will help to
extend the interests of campus life beyond our own minor, if intrigu-
ing, problems. é

We expect and hope that the college will be intensely interested
in organizing and taking part in this political society, when the ques-
tion of beginning it is laid before us. It will give us another of those
opportunities which the stage and the News provide, to obtain a form
of training that may be useful to us when we graduate, and will thus
be an enterprise of great practical benefit to those students who will
have to make speeches or take. part in formal discussions. in their
future work.





time,’ and funds arise, this extension
can take place.
BETTY FAETH, 1935,
(President Athletic Association).



To the Editor of the College News:
We-are delighted to find that Miss
Wescott’s great interest in the drama
has borne fruit, but we are shocked.
and alarmed to discover the extent of
her misinformation on things theatri- -
cal. We ourselves witnessed the first
performance of For This Relief, ‘and
unless it was radically altered on-thé
second night, something is very, very
odd about Miss Wescott’s review. We
are under the impression that. the
play, far from being a bedroom farce
on a desert island (should such an
anomaly be possible!), is a, stark
tragedy of life in.the Kentucky hills!

Furthermore, if would seem that
Miss Wescott must have neglected to
onsider her theatre program. She
states that Shandra MacPherson and
Walter Halliday played the leading
roles, while we have a distinct mem- °
ory, and a program to support it, that
we were immensely pleased with the
work of Deirdre Diavsoleff and James
Walton in those. very same leading
roles. We would not mention these
trivial errors, did we not believe in
providing our readers with the truth
even at the cost of a beautiful friend-
ship.

Lastly, Miss Wescott’s descent. into
the “blasé collegianisms” of which she
accused us inher letter, pains us in
the extreme.” To say that “the bed-
room has long ago seen its best days”
isan‘ obvious reflection of the cynical
despair in the future which under-
graduates are only too likely to affect.

Swardunore Yields
To Bryn Mawr, 35-19

Game is Fast and Remarkable
For Neat, Quick Passing’
And Field Shots

LARNED MAKES 15 GOALS

(Submitted in News Competition)

Bryn Mawr, March 16. — Swarth-
handed us a defeat in the swimming
meet on Friday, but we wreaked ‘our
vengeance on Saturday, when Varsity
beat Swarthmore by the score of 35-19
before a fairly large gallery
amidst the disturbing flashes of pho-
tographers’ cameras.

From the moment of the opening
whistle, the game was fast. There
was quick, neat -passing, although the
Swarthmore guards seemed to Stick
very close and managed to break up
the forwards’ passwork in the begin-
ning. However, they got loose suffi-
ciently for Betty Faeth to get in some
beautiful long distance shots, while

and

Larned netted, five field goals and five,

foul shots during the first half. The
second quarter was the occasion for an
unusual interruption, when a photog-
rapher dropped a vital part of his ap-
paratus with a loud crash, and all ac-
tivity had-to be suspended until a
dust;pan and brush could be brought
to repair the damages.

The beginning of the second half



First the Swarthmore forwards got
the ball and Metcalfe chalked up two
points for them, followed immediately
by a basket for Bryn ‘Mawr, then two

more for Swarthmore. However, this

seemed but a momentary turn of the

managed. to
maintain its substantial lead of the

first half. Near the end. of the last
quarter, after time out by Swarth-
more, everyone seemed to take a new
lease on life’ and play was fast and
furious until. the final whistle blew
with the score standing 35-19 in Bryn
Mawr’s favor.

So, our congratulations to the
team, and let’s all come out and
watch what promises to be a @xand

Wylie Record Good, Despite Error
(Especially contributed by Miss
Brady)

The eighty-yard mark on the Bryn
Mawr pool when measured four years
ago was measured incorrectly. The
distance was six feet short of the. cor-
rect mark.

After Margaret Wylie, of the class
of 1936, broke the record in the class
swimming meet, the error was discov-
ered and corrected forthe Swarth-
more meet. Miss Wylie was timed
with three watches at a practice per-
iod in the new and correct distance
and her time was 54 4-5 seconds. This
time will starfd as the college record,
because, comparatively, she had done
the distance formerly three seconds
faster than any previous record,

they are to be made into a pair of.

The idea intrigues us; we now spend
days and. nights worrying about

whether rabbit-skin pants are to be
the big fashion note this spring, and,
if they are, how we are going to ac-
quire some for ourselves. Surely the
Dalton resources haVe given out. Must
we, then, pursue afoot these elusive
creatures; and, when we catch them,



how do we go About detaching them
from their hides? (We have not all
taken minor biology.) And will the
pants, when complete, be decorated?
May we offer the suggestion that they
have sleigh-bells up the sides?

‘Swarthmore Varsity
_ Wins Swimming Meet



_ Bryn Mawr’s One First Place

Gained by Whiting, Who Ties

In Crawl for Form



DIVING SPECTACULAR



Gymnasium, March 15.—May the
shades of-the dear departed look kind-
ly upon us in this, our day of sorrow,

‘for we never had thought by so

great a landslide we would lose to the
Swarthmore swimming team for the
first time in three years by a score

of 55-29.

In spite of our prophecy of falling
records, Swarthmore took all . nine
firsts, and it seemed that the day was
Except for the crawl for
form, in which Whiting tied with
Keyes of. the visiting team for “first
place with a total of 21.5 points, far
below Whiting’s usual standard, and
the 40-yard back stroke, in which
Woodward was leading, but got twist-
ed up in her shoulder strap, and fell
behind, Bryn Mawr had lost its
chance of winning. In the . 80-yard
free style, Irvine set a new record for
Swarthmore of 55.2 seconds, but fail-
ed to break Wylie’s record of 54 2-5
seconds made in the last class swim-
ming meet. The diving was perhaps
the most spectacular event, with Wat-

‘gon, of Swarthmore, giving a fine ex-

hibition, and MacCurdy far exceeding
any of.her previous work, — but. we
still have to see a prettier half-gaynor
than Daniels has performed. In the
medley relay Hemphill and __ Bassoe
with the side and breast stroke led the
field, but Irvine’s trudgeon and High-
ly’s crawl gave Swarthmore the final
lead. In the final event, the relay,
Bryn Mawr lost the lead after the first
turn, Swarthmore taking first honors
in 1 minute 59.2 seconds.

Opportunity, fortunately, often
knocks more than once, — and next
year the fates may look upon us more
favorably. The Swarthmore meet
closes Varsity’s season this year. In
spite of the loss of many of our. great
point winners, Miss Brady has work-
ed up a fine .all-round team: which
gives us great encouragement for the
future.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, 1936’s
champion swimmers will for the first
time meet the Baldwin School swim-
mers at Bryn Mawr, so all out to cheer
them on!

The statistics for the
meet were as follows:
40-yard freestyle:
24.8 seconds; Simpson (B.

80-yard freestyle: Irvine (S), 55.4
seconds; Wylie (B. M.), Heathcote

Undergraduates Ask

Addition to Sports 3



Continued from Page One

A whole group of answers concentrat-
ed on the importance of physical ex-
_ertion as an antidote to mental work.

Several stressed the importance ‘of
physical development in proportion to
mental, while other's felt that exercise
was necessary as a relaxation. One
person defined it as “relaxation for
those. who work hard at studies and
exercise for those who are accustomed
to do nothing.” Someone else felt
athletics were essential to “pull the
lazy people out of their corners.”
There. were a few lone individuals who
laid emphasis on the importance of
giving a feeling of loyalty to the col-
lege and one girl mentioned the good
publicity which athletic events give
us. Co-ordination and rhythm were
given an important place by a number
of people. One girl had the novel
idea that athletics were fun for the
spectators.

The phrase “social sports’ occurred
again and again in answers to the
first and last questions. . Nearly every-
one mentioned the importance of
training in tennis, swimming, golf,
and riding as valuable assets to life
after college.
training should be a part of the edu-
cation in the use of leisure.

We were not surprised to find that
competition in athletics was endorsed,
but we were rather astonished at the
unanimity of approval. 118 voted for
it outright with 12 people opposed.
The remaining fifteen qualified their
answers by stating that there should
be competition only for those who

Some thought that this.

en too seriously. ;

On the question of meeting other
teams on their own grounds occasion-
ally, the students. voted 138-10 that
this was desirable at least in theory.
Some stressed the element of®expense
and others the need of being sure that.
the equipment of the opponents was
adequate. The fourth questions, which
was_a-kind of corollary to the third,
followed the same general trend as
was to be expected. The result was
a vote of 141-2.

The sentiment about the importance
of inter-class and inter-hall games
rather than outside competition |was
quite strongly against any further de-
velopment of these activities. Many
expressed satisfaction with the present
system and several said that they felt
inter-hall games would be a ‘mistake,
as it would emphasize feeling between
the halls, a thing which is not desir-

able.

New ideas and constructive ones
cropped up in profusion in the sixth
question. .'Bhe suggestion that golf
should be arranged was made by 54
students. Many realized the difficul-
ties of having our own cdurse at col-
lege, but suggested that arrangements
might be made with some nearby club
like the Merion’C, C., which would
perhaps give students a special rate.

Others advocated the building of.» a

' point of numbers, one girl suggesting
that we should build a court as soon
as we had gotten the new Scienee
| Building and the Art Wing of the
Library. Apparatus, skating, badmin-
| ton, riding and track were next in or-
| der of popularity, with archery, base-
ball, lacrosse and walking claiming a
number of adherents. Several people
asked that there be more different
kinds of dancing, such as tap-dancing
and folk-dancing. Other sports men-
tioned were bowling, volleyball, riflery,
soccer; tennis-quoit, and bicycling also
had their devotees. Perhaps the most
novel idea was that of the person who
said that “Statues” is a good game..

The seventh question produced a
number of ideas about new sports
which we have incorporated in the re-
sults above. There were also some
other remarks which were of interest,
Several people expressed a dislike for
| Body Mechanics, but were thoughtful
|enough to make some constructive re-
marks about how it’ could be improved
or perhaps replaced by something dif-
ferent. Apparatus or indoor tennis
were recommended, but the suggestion
of substituting corrective exercise or
drill for lectures was‘the most inter-
esting. In discussing required athlet-
ics several practical proposals were
made. Several wanted a greater choice
in winter sports and mentioned that
ice-skating might be included in the
list if it proved possible to flood one
of the tennis courts, or perhaps join
the Philadelphia Figure Skating Club
There were several requests that fenc-
ing be made available to all through
the removal of-the extra fee if this
were possible. In connection with re-
quired tennis many felt that a new
system of play should be organized so
that there will not be regular hours

was suggested that an honor system of
reporting hours of play might be in-
stituted which would give all the
chance to play when they wanted to.

cannot, of course; be given undue
weight. Many of the suggestions are

Fire House Orchestra
To Play Square Dances



Bryn Mawr is to be treated to a
series of three square dances, on
March 22, April 27, and May 25.
They are to be regular old-time coun-

‘try dances, compiete with four-piece
rustic orchestra, and should provide
much amusement. , Those of us who
have never been to a square dance
have missed a definite experience; we
should not allow our ignorance of
this type of terpsichorean activity
to continue. Those of us who shave
been to square dances do not need
to be told of their charms,.and shall
doubtless attend in full force.

The dances are for the benefit of
the Million Dollar Drive,. and are
being managed by Mrs. Charles Sav-
age. ree refreshments will be
served, and the admission for undery
graduates is fifty cents for those
of us who wish to dance, and twenty-
five cents for the ‘timid souls who
will not brave the intricacies of
square dancing.

The music is to be furnished by
the Farra Boys—a’ four-piece or-
chestra consisting of two violins, a

_ piano, and a banjo. The musicians
live on:’a farm near McKinleyville,
‘and play on Saturday nights at the
Malvern Fire House—which should
be quite sufficient:to recommend them
to us. ‘i

The usual caller at dances wher
the Farra Boys play is‘their uncle.
At Bryn Mawr, Mrs. Savage’s sister
and brother, Miss Kathleen Slingluff





and Mr. Jesse Slingluff, Jr., will call
the dances. However, we must~nots!
be surprised if we see the Farra
Boys’. uncle. wandering. about the
floor; for. he announced that he
thought the Farra Boys had need of
a chaperon, “if they go up to: play
with all those college girls.”

We are all prepared for the fun:
the dancinz, the refreshments, the
inevitable mix-ups that occur in the
dancing of the uninitiated (and the
nice thing is, nobody minds), and the
Farra Boys’ music and uncle.



College Council Votes
For Library Reforms

nation periods. The Council also felt
that silfte~the depression, the faculty
has made(‘too little effort to recom-
mend books to classes, so that they
might be bought by those students who
could afford them.

The idea of starting a _ political
union was suggested by similar move-
ments which are being undertaken in
other colleges. It was felt that there
was considerable demand for some ac-
tivity of the sort, and that this would
solve the problem by conibining a de-
bating group, discussions and political

since there is a ‘very real field for
