Carol McGovern
Represents B. M. at
N.S.0. Conference
Carol McGovern ’48, represented
Bryn Mawr at the caucus of col-
leges from eastern Pennsylvania
represented at the Chicago Confer-
February 15th. The purpose of
the meeting was to discuss the re-
action of the students of the east-
ern Pennsylvania colleges to the
Chicago Conference, and to permit
the students to express an opinion
which would represent the group
at the executive meeting.
The method of selecting the rep-
resentatives to the conference was
discussed. It Was recommended
that each college and university
should have one vote, necessitating
the division of the vote among the
several colleges which make up a
university. The division of the
vote would be determined by the
student government, or some other
suitable group. It was requested
that the representative be elected
by a preferential ballot rather than
having the delegate appointed.
The qualifications suggested for
representatives were that they
should be doing full time work +o-
wards attaining a degree in some |’
institution of higher learning ac-
credited by the board of education,
and that the members should ex-
press the intention of returning to
the college they represent after at-
tending the conference.
A suggestion was made by Mr.
Kerridge, of International House,
that the organization should help
in the forming of a foreign-Ameri-
student organization which
would be a clearing house for in-
formation and help for those stu-
dents.
The caucus discussed the judici-
ary system: they felt necessary for
the organization. They do not
want a separate judiciary body,
‘but prefer an executive or staff
eommittee. A faculty panel which
would be invited to attend sessions
of the N. S. O. was recommended,
although there was thought to be
no need for a formal advisory
counsel,
Carol McGovern feels that the

students should take an interest in
the organization and give it their
support, since Bryn Mawr prac-
tices the principles which the N.
S.-O. hopes to enact throughout
the colleges and universities of
America, such as a strong student
government, a large proportion of
foreign students, and the abolition
of the quota system of selecting
students. The decision as to wheth-
er Bryn Mawr will become a func-
tioning member of the N. S. O.
will have to be made soon. Carol
stresses the importance of having
a membership in a body which uni-
fies and stimulates the efforts. and
ideas of-all of the college students
in the country.

The audience is warned that
“You'll Get Over It’. The main
problem of the cast during rehear-
sal is to get over—and through—-
flats that fall and mysteriously
rise, fresh with paint, in the midst
of dramatic dialogue; a silent stage
crew patters back and forth with
ant-like activity to complete a set
that evolves simultaneously with
the plot of the play..
Like “Faithfully Yours” Nancy
Knettle’s one-act play is set in
California, but a careful scrutiny
of the quavering flats fails to re-
veal a. palm-tree frond for: which,
we add, the audience may be sin-
cerely grateful. The four charac-
ters include a_ be-slacked female
bus-boy, who indulges in character
analysis, or rather male analysis
through horn-honking, a model who
reaches the same basic conclusions

process of revealing meets man’s

Father Coleman believes there is

_ Joseph’s College, Philadelphia, on | 2"™@nged by Betty Smith, from the _|ferent paths,” he said. All people
’ ?
come unto the Father through
Christ, but not necessarily in this -
world, he feels.
Answering a question on the
possibility of humans having a
mystical experience with God,
Father Coleman said that God and
man do not beconie one in such an
experience, but become at one.
Heaven is this state of existing at
one with God.
The two existing evils are with-
in and without man, he related.
These both are embodied in the
Genesis story of the Garden of
Eden. Evil within is symbolized
by the Fall of Man, his misuse of
Free Will, while the outside evil
is symbolized by the Serpent of
Temptation. God, being the only
Perfect, took on himself the ran-
som and redemption of man from
these evils.
In concluding his_ discussion,
Father Coleman stressed the pow-
er of prayer. Prayer, he com-
ments, is common to all religions
as the method of achieving union
with the God of that religion.
Anyone wishing to write to
Father Coleman is asked to do so.
