Role of Individual Declared
Essential in Operation
Of Self-Gov’t



Specially contributed by
Virginia Thomas °45

“For the purpose of giving a
definite and permanent expression
to the hitherto unwritten laws, and
of forming a body of support for
public opinion, the students desire
to organize an Association, to be
called the Bryn Mawr Students
Association for Self-Government.”

The Self-Government Associa
tion is made up of every student
of the college, and the rules as
they exist now were drawn upAffid
decided on by the Association as
a whole. This government operates
through the Executive Board, Ad-
visory Board, the permission giv-
ers, and concretely through the
signing out books and sheets; and
indirectly, but most significantly
through each’ student whose co-
operation is the very key to the
topics of discussion, and guide to
the purpose of the function of Self-
Government. One of the most ac-
tive of these divisions stated above
is the Advisory Board, which con-
sists of all the Hall Presidents.
The Hall president represents Self-
government in her hall, and is as-
sisted in her function by the per-
‘mission givers of the hall, who
accept the responsibility of signing
out students. Every Monday at a
meeting the. Hall President turns
over the signing out sheets of that
week to the Self-Government
President, and also reports. any
lateness or offenses. There is full
investigation of ‘every offense
through the hall president and
through the girl involved, in er
to gain a full understanding of the
case, and therefore to be prepared
_ to make a fair judgment of the
situation. If the -student does not
wish to present the case herself

Mrs. Wm. Stevenson
Will Address College

For Red Cross Drive|



Mrs. William Stevenson, who
will-open the Campus Red Cross
Drive at the College Assembly on
Wednesday, March 14, has been
overseas for two years with the
American Red Cross. She is the
author of I Knew Your Soldier
in which she-tells of her experi-
ences in England, Scotland, North
Africa, Sicily, and Italy. This
pamphlet is a tribute to the volun-

teers and supporters of the Red
Cross for their excellent work
which they have done with the

soldiers abroad.

Ernie Pyle has written with en-
thusiasm about Mrs. Stevenson
herself. He says that “She is:a sort
of roving delegate, cheerer-upper,
smoother-over, and _ finder-outer
for.the whole Red Cross—and half
the Army too. She lends her ear
to tales of woe, turns her smile on
generals and privates without dis-
tinction.”



Sociologists Lose Themselves in Subway
En Route to Work in Phila. Union: Offices



by Bettina Kluepfel ’48

Through a maze of unfamiliar.
subways, several Bryn Mawr So-
ciology students have found their
way to the Union Offices in Phila-
delphia. Working in the various
departments of Local and National
unions, they come into direct con-
tact with union organizations and
methods.

Miss Fairchild, head of
Graduate Department. of Social
Economy, gave them the oppor-
tunity, and after a telephone con-
versation with a union leader,
‘about ten ‘students prepared to go
into Philadelphia once a week to
attend Union functions and busi-
ness meetings. Going at different
times and in small groups, they lis-
ten to meetings, hear grievance
cases argued, go through the liter-
ature stock rooms, and have a
chance to read all the pamphlets
distributed in_the.-local.organiza-
tions. So far most of them have
just attended he meetings”of the
different local and national com-
mittees; however next week some
will start working with files.

|



Although they work~ with -all
serious intentions of gaining a
better” understanding of labor
movements, often amusing inci-
dents do come up.- In_ checking
through the files of the food, To-
baeco and Agriculture Union, two
Bryn Mawrtyrs were somewhat
astonished to find papers on in-
numerable cemeteries cropping up.
Finally overcome by curiosity they
asked what connection. cemeteries
had with Food, Tobacco and Agri-
uclture. It seems that the union
had been asked that before, and
had even been accused of canning
corpses, but cemeteries did not
fit under Steel and Autos, or under
Womens’ Garment Workers so they
were relegated to the Food, To-
bacco and Agriculture Union.

In a. Steel Workers meeting,
where salmon cans were used for
ashtrays because of. the exigencies
of moving, the Bryn Mawr girls
were asked if they had. anything
to say, wnder "that sectidh of the
meeting labeled Good and Welfare.
They are still wondering which
they are: Good or Welfare?

Pat Behrens Elected
Undergrad President

“My, it’s nice to be on the op-
posite end of reporting for once”,
Pat remarked happily. “How I
hate interviewing!” Settling down
to a discussion of her policy as
new president -of the Undergrad-
uate Association, Patricia Beh-
rens declared that Undergrad will
continue its policy of. “represen-
tation and cooperation” during
the coming year.

Not only must the Undergrad-|

uate Association maintain an over
all view of the interests and ac-
tivities of the student body, but
it must continue to represent
edmpus..opinion in the clubs and
committees formed by: the Asso-
ciation and coordinated under it,
she said. These have been, its
chief functions in the past, And
increased. endeavor to fulfill these
functions will be its ae for
the future. Pi

A History major, Pat has found
life one long succession of papers.
Declaring that the routine is now.

“varied by practice of “To the May

Pole” in anticipation of the day
when she’ll have to lead .under-
graduates over Merion Green,
she realized with relief that the
day was over a year off.

Pat’s future promises to be a
healthy one (despite the papers),
for she declares she has found
the elixir of life in the infirmary
gargle. She suspects there may
be a strange ingredient in the po-
tent mixture which produces mir-
aculous results. no matter what,

be that -the~-cigaretteshortage-
may catch up with her after all,

The Undergraduate Curriculum
Committee questionnaire on th:
Science Requirement showed that
of the 68% of the students’ whi

answered, over two-thirds believed
that Psychology should be included

who. have already completed thei:
science would have been drained
from the present four first year
science courses, whereas about ten
science majors would have been un-
able to take Psycholosry. Since oni..
twelve answering students haves
not completed the requirement’
future demand shifts must -at pres-

Psychology

The Curriculum Committee Poll on thé possibility of
including Psychology as a course to fulfill the science re-

‘quirement, reports a significant majority of the student body

in favor of the plan. Such a decision on the part of the un-
dergraduates is justified not only by the growth in import-

_ance of psychology as a field, but also by the course as it is

given here at Bryn Mawr.

Value
In our opinion the purpose of the science requirement
is to acquaint students with experimental methods and to
give'them some conception of the aims and general princi-
ples involved in any science, as well as giving them a work-
ing knowledge of data applicable to their own life.

Psychology as it is taught here not only lays emphasis|
on the acquisition of experimental technique, but stresses

the importance of psychological findings in this war. It is
also perhaps the one among the sciences for which the av-
erage student would feel.she had a definite opportunity to
use. |
( Revamping
And yet; if Psychology is to be treated as a science re-

quirement, we should like to suggest that the revampin

necessary to include the inereased laboratory time, should
be extended to some of the general outlines of the course.
As it stands now, much of the material in the course
overlaps that covered by other required sciences. Material
in the domain of physics, anatomy, chemistry, and statis-
tics alone constitutes a large part of the year’s work. Such
is not the case in any of the other required sciences.
Although psychology in general obviously makes use
of much of the material of the other sciences, still it seems
to us absurd to spend a good deal of the year on details of
anatomy which are not essential to the grasping of funda-
mental psychological concepts.

: Practical Emphasis
We would’ like to suggest that even more empha-
sis be laid.on the more practical fields of psychology in the
introductory course. The large fields of personality, social
psychology and ‘the like are not only the most interesting,

student. :

This would not necessarily entail any reduction of
such vital parts of the course as perception. It would rath-
er bé only a part of the change in the overall plan which is
obviously necessitated by the course’s change in status. |

With more emphasis“on the integration of the various
fields of research, less stress on the historical aspects, and
on the memorization of various details-which- properly be-
long to other sciences, a course could ro which
would carry more meaning for the st t taking it, and
which .should prove the most useful of the required

—~gtiences. ~~ a6

The present need in Italy, is for
a restoration of the Italians’ con-
fidence in themselves both through
material aid and greater political
recognition, said Miss Taylor in a
discussion of current problems in
Italy.

Recently the controls of the Al-
lied Control Commission have been
relaxed somewhat in an effort to
r develop Italian political independ-

=

this step may have arisen partly
ffom the disinclination of the
Commission to také the responsi-
bility for Italy’s economic difficul-
ties, Government in Italy owing to
the lack of Parliamentary estab-
lishments is purely by decrees is-
sued by the members of the cabi-
‘net,‘who represent the interests of
the various parties. ¢

Armistice Terms

The two most controversial sub-
jects in Italy, declared Miss Tay-
lor, are the status of the king and
the terms of. the armistice. The
discussion of the king has died
down somewhat since his decision
to turn his functions over’ to the

armistice, still secret, are the sub-
ject of much current speculation.
It is suggested by some that these
include provisions for sending some
one million Italian workmen over-
seas, 800,000-to-RusSia and 200,000
to this country, as a post-war
labor force. It has also been pro-
posed that the armistice
an agreement to surrender Trieste
and Fiume to Jugoslavia in the in-
terests of better relations with the
latter. Miss Taylor feels both these
»suppositions to be highly improb-
able. a eee

Economic Problem _
Italy’s chief problem is her eco-

The southern part of the country
is cut off from the important agri-
cultural and industrial area of the
north, and this is felt particularly
in the food crisis since the Po val-
ley furnished much of Italy’s grain.
Inflation is rampant, and the
problem is aggravated by the fact
that prices in the liberated area
are almost twice those in the north
which is under German occupation.

Among the hopeful signs is the
obvious joy of most Italians at
again being able to say what they
think. It is also encouraging, Miss
Taylor feels, that Italy has been
raised to the position of co-belliger-
ent, the “penultimate stage”. How-
ever, until food and other essen-
tials can be shipped, any great re-
vival of Italian confidence is not
possible, and the shipping situa-
tion is still acute owing to great
war demands.

Undergrad Emeritus Urges -
“Wonderful Weekends”
Program



The following was written to
“The Misses Pembroke West” by
Diana Lucas, the vice president of

Self Government in 1943-44:
Dear Gals,

As an undergraduate emeritus,
not to be confused: with members
of the segregated group called the
Alumnae, I unite to give you many
pearls of wisdom. As you look
ahead to June, and Junes-to-come,
keep in mind that the curriculum
still has several excellent courses
to offer. The Department of Won-
derful Weekends provides: worth-
while required and elective courses.
Having just indulged in several
myself, I recommend them highly.

For example there is the full
unit philosophical course particu-
larly valuable for first year under-
graduates emeritus talled Triviali-
ties and Transcendentalisms,
(known more familiarly as Smok-
ing Room Gossip). As an ally, try
a refresher course in Sharping and
Shuffling, also called “How About
a Hand Before Dinner?”

There are several courses that
could be considered _required,.but
my suggestion is a unit anda half
in Science Laboratory is compul-

Lsory, with hours to be arranged to

suit your schedule and needs. A
unit’s work of Tea Pantry Tea
Parties, meeting daily from four
until six should be supplemented
by a half unit course in the same
department. The suggested course
meeting nightly at ten is Cooking
From A Can offering special fields
in Po a and Cocoa.

our, fourth course should be an
elective; broad choicé is allowed.
In .the “Greek” department is a
very refreshing and meaty course
(or courses) dealing with bever-
ages and sustenance. An_excellent
course in Economics is entitled
“Why Don’t You Take Me to Tea?”
Another suggestion is Sociology’s
Classes and People (divisions °45
to ’48) which has excellent field
trips to the various halls on cam-
pus as well as Lab work at the Inn
and Soda Fountain. As a fina] al-
ternative, there is a new course in
the Health Department called the
Theory and Practice of Sleep.

In closing, a word about the pro-
fessors and examinations. All the
faculty are divine, numbering
roughly sixty-two, young, attract-
ive and very interested in their
students. They make the depart-
ment. And unlike most professors
they do not give the final report
on exams. On completing the



course, the student must be pre-

Alas, No Class

One late-riser dashed down-
stairs in a rather sleepily dishev-
eled condition, fifteen minutes late
to her ten o’clock class. Overhear-
ing a happy individual exclaim,
“There’s-a cut in French!” the ten

Jed loudly.the horror of having

risen for the. class. , Two-minutes
later found her quickly gathering
up her books and continuing her
mad rush to Taylor. Her parting
comment: “Oh well, I don’t take
French anyway.”

Self-Govt. Functions
Clarified by Thomas

Continued from .Page i °
a

the President represents her, and
reports to’ the Board when she feels
an offense is seriows enough to be
discussed with them. This Execu-
tive Board consists of nine mem-
bers, who are elected to represent
the majorit@opinion ,of the stu-
dents. ‘Meeting -each week, the
Board discusses all infringements
as well as misunderstandings of
the rules. Careful consideration
is given to the actual offense as
such, also to the nature of ,the
circumstances in which a _ case
arose, There is discussion on whe-
ther further steps are -advisable,
and if so what form of corrective
action should be taken. A decision
is made only with-the agreement
of every Board member.

_Penalties

It is ‘important to add at this
point, that a recommendation is
being left with the incoming Board
to consider the organization and a
system by which certain penalties
can be understood as ‘applying to
specific offenses, with the purpose
of making arrangement of penal-
ties clearer to the Student Body.
However the Board must retain
the power to modify the measure
when the circumstances demand it,
since frequently a ‘set’ penalty
would not be applicable.

After the Board makes its de-
cision, the result - is.posted on the
Buletin Board in Taylor, with no
name of course, bécause any stu-
dent is protected from embarrass-
‘ment or outside curiosity. This is
only fair. However ag who
has-doubts as to the réason of the

ay is urged to come to any
member of the Board for addi-
tional information.

Right of Appeal ‘

After a decision has gone into
efect, a member of the Associa-
tion who feels that it is unjust, and
has reason to believe the decision
is wrong, has the rfght to appeal.
On that appeal the entire Asso-
ciation is summoned, and if the
tnmajority of those there agree with
the appeal, the decision of the
Board is withdrawn. —

Self-Government should not be
thought of as a mere abstract term
but rather an organization, based
and operating on majority opinion,

member of the college plays an es-
sential and active part.



Grass

Students are warned that
they must stay off the grass.
Whistles will beblown by the
members of the Undergraduate
Council to warn all offenders.

Bows to Drexel 29-24











Drexel, March 3. Making the
most of every opportunity to score,
the Drexel varsity basketball team

in the third quarter did the Owls
coordinate fully and succeed in out-
scoring the dark blue team.

The second team, however, out-
played the Drexel Junior’ Varsity

the score stood 17-17, but in the
last two quarters the light blue
guards, Bobby Young ’47, Ada
Klein ’48, and Vera Tozzer ’48,
played a highly efficient game,
preventing the Drexel forwards
from shooting, “while the Bryn
Mawr forwards piled up a total
of 27 points.

Posy Johnson *+’47, was high,
scorer for the’Owls with 23 points
to her credit, and Judy Bailey ’48

Cigarettes and Pinochle Play Major Role
As Seventy Students Invade Valley Forge



by Rosina Bateson, °47
’ Seventy Bryn Mawrites soulill
have wondered at nothing on four

When evéry species of station-
wagon,” coupe, and windowless
truck rolled up, one after the other,

to Pem arch last Saturday. Emerg-
ing from their sloppy-joe outfits
for an evening at Valley Forge
Hospital, the modern Cinderellas
sped o.i at 6:20 on the dot, clouds
of Chanel No, 5 mingling with
Ethyl gasoline.,

The arrival at the hospital was
reminiscent of the act in Ringling
Bros. Circus, where seventeen peo-
ple emerge from a baby Austin.
There were no casualties dlong the
way, however. Everyone was pres-
ent and accounted for, and the in-
vasion had begun.

Some of the soldiers seemed dis-
tinctly- unnerved at the prospect.of
so many women, but courage is a
masculine virtue, and opposites do
attract. When the soldiers express-
ed the paramount desire to play
pinochle, ail. seventy bridge-and-
solitaire Bryn Mawrites were
slightly non-plussed. Going on the

theory that nothing ventured is
nothing. gained, the room was soon
enveloped in a haze of smoke from
free cigarettes, while the earnest-
ness of a back room poker game
pervaded the atmosphere.’

The feminine equivalent of seven
Frank Sinatras cleared away the
smoke of battle by giving a session
of music to fit every mood. Tea-
sippers at the Inn that. afternoon
had pronounced their arrangemént
of Sibonney, All the things you

.| are, and One black two black as

“pretty snork”, and the soldiers
couldn’t get enough of it.

The heads of the entertainment,
Nancy Niles and Pat Acheson, had
still more events planned. After a
lucky number contest and time out
for refreshments, everyone was
startled to realize that the clock
was striking the-fatal hour, and
the various trucks and cars, point-
ing homewards, were lined up be-
fore the Valley Forge doors.

In striking contrast to the dis-
mal failure of last year the enter-
tainnfent for the hospitalized sol-
diers was pronounced a success by
both the veterans and the students.
