mouths, fingernail polish on two
nails only, and carried large stuffed
animals. Besides this, each Fresh-
man was a Slave to a master, whose
every whim she. had to obey. For
one Freshman, Hell Week is not
“ yet over. She has to procure for
her master a blind date for the
Princeton House Parties . . . But
if it was ridiculous, if it took time,
it was always in a humorous vein,
and it was never cruel. Neither
was the attitude of the Sophomore
class cruel. Almost without :ex-
ception, our Sophomores were ap-
preciative, amusing, and _ under-
standing . . . From talking with
Freshmen in other halls, I gather
that. the Sophomores were gener-
ally considerate of their ‘eelings.

Besides. this, Hell Week was
just plain fun - Hell Week
brought to the surface consider-
able latent talent in Rhoads. Near-
ly all our skits were clever, and
the audience was always. complete-
ly sympathetic” “and “eager io “be
amused.

The Freshman class_ benefited,
perhaps unconsciously, from Hell
Week, in that it was drawn closer
together than ever before. Walk-
ing across campus, Freshmen from
different halls would pause to
laugh at each other, and to ex-
change notes on the fate of their
fellow-classmen in other halls. It
aroused a spirit of class conscious-
ness, a desire to stick together
through the “worst,” and to show
those old Sophomores that we are

. good sports and can take a joke.

understanding. There are, how-
ever, those who let nothing stand
in the way of the work, who in-
sist on giving quizzes. This is
unfortunate, but it is the excep-
TION. 8

No, it is not because they be-
grudge the time lost to their His-
tory reading that Freshmen gripe
about Hell Week. Why then? I
believe it is because they do not
comprehend its purpose: to pro-
vide amusement, to draw both
Freshmen and Sophomore classes

At a meeting in the Common
Room on February 28, at 4:30,
Dr. Fillmore Sanford, professor of
psychology at Haverford, explain-
ed and described the methods and
purpose of the survey. He said
that the New York study showed
that minority group members can
be hired in positions that they had
not previously been admitted to,
without damage to,business. The
aim here is to determine whether
this is true for groups other than
New York shoppers.

LETTERS TON.EWS

Letter-writers to the NEWS
are reminded that our space is
limited. Since it is NHWS pol-
icy never to cut letters without
the specific permission of the
author, it would save a great
deal of time and trouble if let-
ters were made concise in the
first place. Furthermore, it
would help the NEWS staff if
letters were mailed in in time
to meet the Friday night dead-
line, whenever there is a six-
page issue.

Active Work

To Bryn Mawr members of che |

Industrial Relations Group, headed
by Helen Finkle, and to members |
of his psychology class at Haver- |
ford, Dr. Sanford presented the |
basic hypothesis of the project: the |
presence of colored salespeople in |
Philadelphia department stores|
does or does not affect business. |
Then with Dr. Reed, he acted out |
a sample interview for a practical |
demonstration.

The process of interviewing was |
explained, the interviewers paired
off and assigned stations in Phila-
delphia department stores, and the
interview cards were passed out.
