Statements Made
By Curric. Comm.
The Curriculum Committee has
submitted the two following state-
ments after its meeting on Febru-
ary 12:
“There has been some feeling
among the seniors that there
should be a more unified policy
with regard to senior midyear
quizzes. The Curriculum Commit-
tee has asked the Dean to clarify
this matter at the next faculty
meeting. The general policy is that
the. midyear examination period
should be a free reading period for
seniors, but the individual profes-
sor actually has the final authority
in regard to thé time and form of
the examination given.”
-“The Curriculum Committee has
been asked by several students to
take up the subject of long papers
due near together and it was sug-
gested that something be done to
relieve this pressure. The Com-
mittee decided to consult the Dean
to find out the exact policy with
regard to papers. It was found
that there is no one over-all pol-
icy; rather, the’ number and the
length of papers eft entirely to
the discretion « individual in-
Istructor. The Déan will be glad
to try to help any student who
feels she ete 2 she |
can handle, provided that she does
,jnot leave her coniplaints anti the
Council Composed
Of Six Presidents
Of Associations
The undergraduate Council and
College Council were formed in or-
der to co-ordinate all campus ac-
tivities and to discuss any problems
| which might arise in the, under-
‘| graduate body.
)
The Undergraduate Council is
composed of the heads of the six
associations: Self-government, Un-
dergrad, League, Alliance, AA and
News, with the secretary of Un-
dergrad acting as its secretary.
This meets at least once a week to
discuss any problems which might
have arisen and to talk on college
affairs. The council has no power
of decision except as each presi-
dent takes action for her partic-
ular association. It is mainly a
discussion and advisory group.
Each month it presents through its
chairman, the president of Under-
grad, a proposed agenda for Col-
iege Council.
College Council meets once a
week a month to discuss under-
graduate events with representa-
tives from the college. These in-
clude Miss McBride, Miss Nepper,
Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, Miss Howe,
Miss Clayton, the four class presi-
dents and the presidents of the as-
sociations. The group talk over
any questions concerning both the
college authorities and the under-
graduates with the president of
Undergrad acting as its president.
Alliance Directs
Political Groups
The purpose of the Bryn Mawr
Alliance is to initiate and co-ordi-
nate all activity on campus in con-
nection with current events and
political action. In carrying out
its aim it co-operates with the fac-
ulty, the College Council and the
Undergraduate Council, and is one
of the sponsors of the Undergrad-
uate Volunteer Activities Program.
Alliance Functions
Under the Alliance come two re-
lief agencies, WSSF, which has re-
cently taken care of the clothing
drive, and CARE. The Alliance
also includes the International Re-
lations Club; the Industrial Group,
which _works—with—labor— unions;
Current Events; and Alliance As-
semblies. It has recently inaug-
urated one new organization, the
Student Federalists, while it is also
investigating activities of the Stu-
dents’ Democratic Action and the
International Students’ Organiza-
tion.
On the Alliance Board are repre-
sentatives from the above organi-
zations, as well as two publicity
members, two representatives from
each hall (one of whom is a fresh-
man), a News liaison, and a Non-
Res member.
proposed to the Undergraduate
Curriculum Committee to relieve
the pressure of papers is that a
limit be imposed on the number of
papers a student may have in one
semester; however, ‘two years ago
the faculty voted against a pro-
posal whereby a student would have]
a maximum of two long papers a
semester.
The Curriculum Committee is
open to any further suggestion on
this matter from the students.”
