Claire Liachowitz of Self-Gov

Discusses That

(Editor’s Note: Following is the
complete text of Claire Liacho-
witz’s address to the freshman

class during Freshman Week),
* * *

You have probably read that
upon entrance to Bryn Mawr, you
automatically, or ipso facto, are aJ
member of the Self-Government
Association, I’d like to discuss
with you a little, and in very gen-
eral terms, about what Self-Gov
at Bryn Mawr is like. I mean to
be theoretical in large part, for
you will learn much more easily
about the practical aspects — e.g.
signing out—by actually. practic-
ing them.

Bryn Mawr, you know, is a lib-
eral arts college. That word
“liberal” is very full of meaning
for Bryn Mawr—for liberality is
the core of both its philosophy and
action. From its very beginning
the College selected students in
great part on the basis of their
relative maturity and ability to
handle their own affairs. From
its beginning, Bryn Mawr treated
its students as individuals of
judgment and intelligence. The
College granted complete freedom
of expression In academic life, and

High Enrollment: |
734 Now Register

The total number of Bryn Mawr
undergraduates. this year is 600.
170 of these are freshmen. There
are 134 graduate students, al-
though the number is probably in-
complete since graduate students
register later.

The freshmen come from twen-
ty-eight states and nine foreign
countries including Austria, Great
Britain, China, Czechoslovakia,
‘Denmark, Holland, France, Ger-
many and Venezuela. The 170
freshmen were graduated by 131
preparatory schools.

In view of the New York Times
reports that college enrollment
has decreased by ten percent this
year, it is interesting to note that
the total undergraduate enroll.
ment has reached 600 for the first
time in the history of the college.

Organization

aimed to develop the ability and
self-reliance of its students.

Bryn Mawr’s liberality did not
stop with academic freedom — in
1892, the College granted to its
students a system of Self-Govern-
ment, From that time Self-Gov
has grown and developed as an
essential part of community life.

Self-Gov’s structure is like this:
we are all “ipso factos”; the ipso
factos elect the Executive Board,
which is composed of members
from all classes. The Board’s
duties are to enforce any legisla-
tion of the entire college; to act
as a court in cases of infractions
of regulations; and to act as
liaison between the College Ad-
ministration and the Student
Body.

Hall Presidents

Each Dorm in addition elects a

President. She represents. the
Dorm to the College, and in turn,
represents the College to the

Dorm. All of the Hall Presidents
compose the Advisory’ Board,
which sits to discuss mutual prob-
lems, and has the authority to
penalize minor infractions.

Permission Givers are appoint-
ed in each hall by the Hall Presi-
dent. It is the “PG’s” who will
teach you most about how to sign
out; and you will require their
supervision until after the Self-
Gov exam, ‘

Bryn Mawr students have re-
sponded to the liberal tradition
in - which they live. As the stu-
dents developed Self-Gov, they
shaped it along lines to reflect
this liberal spirit. And so a wise
and free College has fostered the
existence of a mature and grow-
ing system of community life.
Self-Gov, too,—and by Self-Gov
I mean all its members, not just
its elected representatives, — be-
lieves in the maturity and ability
and equality of all its members.

Both the College and Self-Gov
grant equal privileges to all stu-
dents. Self-Gov grants equal
privileges to Freshmen as a result

McBride Speech
Opens Assembly
InNew Semester

Individual Application
Most Essential
At College

On Thursday, September 27, in
Goodhart auditorium, Miss Kath-
erine E. McBride, President of
Bryn Mawr College, spoke at the
assembly marking the beginning
of the academic year. In addition
to the usual interesting statistics
about the undergraduates — an
even 600 in number—and informa-
tion about the graduate school—-
more Social Economy majors than
ever before—Miss McBride noted
that once more college students
face a trying year of “prolonged
tension,” and must find a way to
live with and become reconciled to
it. It has been said that in these
times, if universities did not exist,
they would be created, for univer-~
sities are on the main highway of
events.

Bryn Mawr may be especially
proud that it so firmly believes in
the two principles of research and
teaching applied together, not
merely to supplement, but to en.
rich each other. Research, “the
single predestined design,” and
teaching, “the imparting of knowl-
edge,” as Miss McBride said, to-
gether bring progress in thought.

The element of research mani-
fests itself in those members of
the college faculty who are ab-
sent this year on sabbatical, or
special grant; learning, in the im-
mediate presence of visiting lec
turers who come to instruct for a
year. Ultimately, of course, the
student is engaged in progress to
develop her own intellectual pow-
er, but she must use that intelli-
gence aS womanpower—a practi-
cal tool to serve her world as well
as herself. This is the aim of re-
search, teaching, and application;
one that stretches far beyond eve:
“prolonged tension” to the life and
world ahead.



NSA Program Enlarged and Unified
At Annual Congress Held in August

Specially contributed by
Freddie Kolker, ’54

Five hundred delegates from
185 campuses represented 600,000
American college students at the
4th Annual National Student Con-
gress from August 20 to 29 at the
University of Minnesota. The
guests who addressed: the Con-
gress included Harold E. Stassen,
president of the University of
Pennsylvania, as keynote speaker,
other well-known educators and
delegates from the national stu-
dent governments of France,
Great Britain, Canada, Norway
and the Netherlands. With an or-
ganization torn internally by fin-
ancial and staff difficulties and a
Congress faced by crucial nation-
al and international issues, this
meeting of the United States Na-
tional Students Association was
one of the most important in its
short history.

ss Dato cet LAE NN SABRI AF



After a heated debate in com-
mittee and on the plenary floor
NSA voted against advocating the
organization of a new internation-
al student organization to be in
competition with the Internationai
Union of Students (IUS), a com-
pletely communist-dominated youth
group, and also voted against ac-
tive affiliation with the TUS. The
Students’ Mutual Assistance Pro-
gram (SMAP)—a plan to aid stu-
dents in colonial and underdevel-
oped areas—created ‘by the nine-
teen countries who participated in
a conference at Stockholm in De
cember, was passed. The Wiscon-
sin delegation introduced a reso-
lution condemning the “technique
known as McCarthyism”, which
was passed by an overwhelming
majority. The Congress voted for

Phi Beta Kappa

Bryn Mawr is the only college in the Seven College Con-
ference which has no chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. It is almost
the only college in the country with an outstanding academic
reputation that does not. Other universities feel that Bryn
Mawr should not remain so aloof; from the college’s point of
view, therefore, it might be an advantage to have a chapter
of Phi Beta Kappa on campus.

From the individual’s point of view, there are problems
to consider. Would a girl ambitious. for Phi Beta Kappa
choose her courses on the basis of the ease with which she
can do well in them? There is the possibility that students
would work more for a high mark than for the value of a
course’s content. The present distinctions of cum laude,
magna cum laude, and summa cum laude, however, provide
very much the same incentive as the national honor society
would.

The big question is: would Bryn Mawr’s uniquely high
standards be lowered if Phi Beta Kappa were inaugurated?

It is a question most difficult to answer because there is no
set academic average and no predetermined percentage which
binds every chapter of Phi Beta Kappa all over the country.
It would doubtless be somewhat harder to get the requisite
grades at Bryn Mawr than at some of the larger universities.
One institution’s chapter may elect to its rolls the top 5% of
the senior class—another may choose the top 10%. One in-
stitution considers academic averages only,’ another takes
note of distinction in a special subject, or an outstanding
contribution made to the college community. The standards
of Bryn Mawr would not necessarily be compromised if it
were as hard or harder to make Phi Beta Kappa than it is to
be_magna cum laude. Presumably this would be the case,
but there has as yet been no explicit statement of organiza-
tion for the suggested chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. An arbi-
trary element always exists in the elections. If it were de-
cided that 10% of the senior class would be elected, perhaps
more than 10% would, by absolute standards, deserve the
honor—or perhaps less would. A competitive and destruct-







ive atmosphere might be produced if only a certain number|

Howard L.

Goodhart

The students, faculty, and alumnae of Bryn Mawr Col-





lege were filled with genuine regreat at the news of -Mr. How-
ard L. Goodhart’s death. Mr. Goodhart generously support-
ed the college in many ways. In memory of his wife, Mar-
jorie Walter Goodhart, class of 1912, he donated more than
half of the money necessary to build Goodhart Hall, thereby
making construction possible. He also established the Mar-
jorie Walter Goodhart chair in European History which is
held by Mrs. Helen Taft Manning. )

He gave many books to the library during his lifetime,
and last June his generosity was culminated by the presen-
tation of the Marjorie Walter Goodhart Medieval Library,
which includes about one thousand incunabula and biograph-
ical tools used with them. When all the volumes are shelv-
ed, our library will be unique and outstanding among colleges.

The Board of Directors have founded in Mr. Goodhart’s
honor the Howard Lehman Goodhart Fellowship in Medieval
Studies in the Graduate School.

ization of NSA was changed to
ease the monetary situation, put-
ting the four vice-presidents back
on the campus without pay and
making the president and execu-
tive secretary the only paid offic-
ers in the national office.

NSA Develops

Only five years old and still
groping, the USNSA is gradually
displaying more actual results for
its efforts. Each year it plans and
carries out a greater number of
programs; many are now in con-
nection with such groups as the
Anti-Defamation League and the
National Conference of Christians
and Jews, and with the student as-
sociations of other countries.

NSA is, in the opinion of your
delegate, an organization worthy
of Bryn Mawr’s whole-hearted
support. Through NSA the stu-
dent can emerge from what is of-
ten an ivory tower and can achieve
an understanding of the problems —
of her contemporaries.

A.A. Dreams Up
Anties for Frosh

by Emmy Cadwalader, ’53_ ,

The B.M.C. Athletic Associa-
tion, headed by Laurie Perkins,
started this year off with huge
success during Freshman Week.
On Monday, Tuesday ,and Wednes-
day freshman tryouts for the
hockey squad were held in the af-
ternoon. To the delight of all
concerned there were quite a num-
ber of good players who persist-
ently came down each day, despite
many cases of rusty joints and
charlie-horses.

On Monday evening, September
24, a square dance with Haver-
ford was held in the gym. Dancers
capered gaily as Pete Gardener
called out the steps, amid bright
decorations of hoops, balloons,
and banners which welcomed the
new freshmen. The turnout was
one of the largest in the history
of square dancing at Bryn Mawr,
and everyone there seemed to be
having a marvelous time, thanks
to Harriet Cooper and her com-
mittee.

The traditional Faculty Base-
ball Game was played on Wednes-
day, Sept. 26. The two teams,
captained by Dr. Berry and Dr.
Lattimore, were made up of both
faculty and freshmen. After nine
rousing innings, during which

professors forgot their Ph.D.’s as)
they filled the game with jokes|

and antics, and freshmen lost
their fears of cap and gown dig-
nitaries, Dr. Berry’s team finally
. emerged victorious by the score
of 10 to 5.

Later the same afternoon fresh-



men and committee gathered on
the upper hockey field for the
athletic picnic, efficiently run by
Bunny McClenahan,
good meal (despite the bugs who
had a very winning way of ap-
pearing in the catsup as soon as
one went to take a bite), it was
felt that a little exercise was
needed. A Scavenger Hunt list
was then provided by Mary Klein,
who must have spent a good part
of the summer thinking it up. The
list consisted of the following ten
items: one Greek fail oral card,
five grasshoppers in a bottle, a
senior lantern with four owls, a

55 Freshman Week

Schedule Includes

Tea, Trunk Hunts, Dance and Picnic

On, Saturday, September 22,
members of the class of 1955 be-
ban to arrive. Coming to Bryn
Mawr on a crisp autumn morning
is a more bewildering process for
a girl who lives at a distance
from college. She knows nothing
dire will befall her — but still,
things can get confused. What
has become of her trunk? How
to get it? But there’s not time
to worry—she is at her hall.
Freshmen Week Committee mem-
bers meet her, whisk her and her
bags off to her room. Its several
windows admit sunshine; perhaps
her rug will fit...

Now she is introduced to the
warden of the hall, and more up-
perclassmen. (How to remember
all their names?) Armed with
mimeographed information sheets,
accompanied by a guide, off she
goes to Taylor to register down-
stairs. Upstairs she signs white
posterboards listing appointments
with President McBride and Dean
Marshall. (That’s not a Dean’s
List, surely.) She signs for a
physical exam and voice test.
Voice test? I can talk, she says.
But this is singing . . . thus are
minor dilemmas disentangled.

That afternoon she has tea in
her hall. It’s an important tea,
she observes. The freshmen see





one another for the first time col-
lectively. They entered the dor
mitory as isolated individuals;
now they are a unit, acting in
unison. It is a challenging ex-
periment—no one can predict the
results.

The next few days pass less
hectically. She goes on a library
tour and finds herself with a deep
desire (never to be confessed) to
investigate as many books as pos-
sible. She tours the Ville unof-
ficially; she attends Miss Mc-
Bride’s reception and listens seri-
ously to words which will influ-
ence her throughout the year. She
has corn-on-the-cob at the AA pic-
nic, and meets the young men of
Haverford while square dancing.
She unpacks and purchases an
easy chair for her room .

Upperclassmen quietly return;
shortly the strangeness and the
number of strangers diminishes.
The first day of classes nears. And
on the evening of that day, as
they circle the giant bonfire be-
hind Rhoads and the fireman’s
band plays their class song, the
freshmen are incorporated into
the college, and from that time
on are equal participants in the
perpetual effort to meet the high
standards, ethical and intellectual,
of Bryn Mawr.

Traudl Sperk, Student from Austria.
Exuberant Despite Newness of Locale

by Betty-Jeanne Yorshis, °52

Traudl Sperk, one of the ten
freshmen living in East House,
hastened to tell me that although
she has a little trouble with the
language, she is very happy here
at school. “You must tell them,”
she said, “tell them that I am not
homesick at all, in spite of my
bad English.”. I had come upon
this freshman unawares and drag-
ging her away from her books in
the library, asked her how she
liked it here anyway. From
speaking with her, it was soon
apparent that Traudl’s happiness
was not so much because of Bryn
Mawr but of her ability to be at
home anywhere.

Arriving in America on Sep-
tember 19, Traudl came from

Students Welcome

New Hockey Coach

63



by Emmy Cadwalader,

This year Bryn Mawr welcome;
an excellent addition to the Phys-
ical Education Department, Mrs.
Diana Coulton. Mrs. Coulton
here through the recommendation
of Miss Applebee, to teach hockey
to both the varsity squad and the
beginners.

Mrs. Coulton comes to us from
England, where she is a graduate
of Bedford Physical Training, and
at present is the Director of Phys-
ical Education at Felixtown Col-
lege for girls, and the Convent
School, also in Felixtown. Mrs.
Coulton has been in this country
for five weeks, and since she has
been here she has not only been to
the Hockey Camp, run by Miss
Constance Applebee, but has been
coaching at five schools in Balti-
more, among them the Bryn Mawr
School.

Mrs. Coulton is to be here only
during the hockey season, and un-
fortunately she must return to
England after that is over. Her
main aim not only here but. every-
where she teaches is to “Arouse
the interest in hockey in everyone,
no matter how good or bad they
are.” Secretly I think she holds a
special fondness for those who
don’t play very well, although she
is also very interested in forming
a good, strong varsity squad this
year, for which she says she has
seen a great deal of potential ma-
terial.

Since this is her first time here,
there are a few things which nev-
er fail to amaze her. She is am-
azed at the sizes and numbers of
the cars because they are much
smaller in England and gas is so
expensive that no one drives very
much. Mrs. Coulton is also sur-
prised by the speed at which ev-
erybody here lives. With her quiet,
smiling way she has fitted into
American college life quite calmly
and easily, and when the end of
the hockey season comes there will
be many people who will be very
sorry to see her leave.

‘the same





scholarship granting her a
year’s study at Bryn Mawr. When
I looked shocked and asked her if
she thought she could stay long-
er she said she would not, even if
it were possible. “It wouldn’t be
allowed,” she said. “I must go
back to Austria and let others
benefit from what I have learned.”
Having had four years at the
Volkschule or primary school and
eight years at the Gymnasium or
grammar and high school (four
years of English included in the
last), Traudl considers herself
fortunate to be here at all, and is
not sorry that her stay is to be
so short. Having supposed that
spoke at least eight
languages, I was relieved to hear
that Traudl spoke only two, Ger-
man and English. Here she is
taking the normal load of four
English Composition,
American History, German Lit-

Europeans

courses:

erature, and Music Appreciation.
When asked if she would join any

extra - curricular activities, she
thought perhaps she would like to
be in Chorus; but she did not
know whether she could manage it
at present. She exclaimed, “Every-
thing is so new here!” Thereupon,
I--was--completely--ashamed—for
even asking. Traudl was not dis-
mayed, however, by any ques-
tions. Her whole appearance was
one of bright enthusiasm, which
along with her light curly hair
and amused, expressive face
makes her a refreshing and de-
lightful sight on campus. She
laughed frequently during the in-
terview. “Interview”, she says is
the same word in German as in
English. As I let her go back to
her studies in the Library, she told
me once more, “Tell them I like
it very much here,”

The greatest single advantage
that Junior Year in France offers
its students is the opportunity to
live in a French family. It was
above all the idea of coming thus
into close contact with life in
France which decided me to go
abroad.

In the end my fellow-students
and I found that our relationship
with our French families had been
deeply satisfying, though it was
different from that which we had
expected. I recount my experi-
ences as typical of what can hap-
pen under the system.

Students are not assigned to
families until the directress meets
them on the boat. I was assigned
a room with another student. A
third girl was to occupy a single
room with the same family.

The welcome given us was thor-
oughly cordial. Our host, the
father of the family, was employ-
ed in a large manufacturing firm;
his wife was an extremely active
committee woman. Their two child-
ren were grown and self-support-



ing.

Our hostess explained to us that
the board we paid enabled her to
keep her servant and thus continue
her active life. She said it pleased
her husband to have young people
in the house since his own were
grown up.

The French families’ acceptance

‘of American students into their
homes is primarily a business mat-
'ter. These are people with grown
| children who want to keep an
apartment or a servant; widows
who need help to support a fam-
ily or a parent. Many of them
have been boarding foreign stud-
;ents for years. Usually, but not
necessarily, they are interested in
students and Americans. They
expect the limitations of the said
business proposition to be under-
stood and accepted. They are then
ready to make the relationship as
pleasant for both sides and as ad-
vantageous for the student as is
convenient.

The tradition of French good
manners and their natural feelings
made our hosts expect us to be-
have in a more adult way than we
customarily do at college. They
did not take the place of our par-
ents in the way that we half-con-
sciously expected them to do, yet
in order to live with the family
we had to adapt ourselves to the

Gadzooks! How does one describe
that purely collegiate institution,
the college mixer? This is not a
blending machine for beer parties,
but after all encompasses many of
ingredients—plenty of
froth and flavor.

This great and wondrous event
swirled its way into the Bryn
Mawr campus and fluffed lightly
over into the ringing confines of
the college gym not long after
penny-bright frosh arrived for
their fling before upperclassmen
should troop back, wild-eyed and
overpowering. °

The festive eve at last took
form, and by nine o’clock a dance
floor had become liberally sprin-
kled with soft pastel dresses and
tweedy things. The traditional
war cry of the sophisticated. Hav-
erford upperclassmen, “All right
you Rhinies, out on the floor with
the lady of your choice”) and the
Bryn Mawr hostesses, (“Of course
you don’t have to be able to square



dance .:.. after all, the idea is to
bag a ma...I mean, meet some-
body nice”).

And a nice social event it was.
A delightful, evanescent mixture
of country and savoir-faire. Be-
cause a nice gentleman in crew
cut brimmed with jolly conversa-
tion, the cider was as ice cream
sundaes, newly scooped. Because
self-same gentleman actually ask-
ed you out after the affair, college
became College.

To the upperclassmen watching
that dance was a strange, sweet
combination of masterful gauch- .
erie and very young aplomb. But
to the newest ones, the class of
’65, it was a heart beating too fast,
a voice a little blase, a surge of
joy at the sight of approaching—
— and equally apprehensive —
blue serge.

It was that fantastical, magical,
bubbly, sparkling whirl, the Fresh-
man Mixer.

Maturity and Independence Most Essential

of its confidence in asking equal
responsibilities of Freshmen. You
are responsible for obeying the
regulations of the Association,
just as are members of every
other class. You are responsible
for electing your own representa-
tives to the Self-Gov Executive
Board, and for contributing to and
participating in this system;
just as are members of every
other class,

Perhaps you have noticed that
there are amazingly few. rules
written in the blue pages of the
rulebook. I believe that Self-Gov,
and I’m speaking here from an
historical or developmental point,
feels that the fewer specific regu-
lations. governing us, the more
successful the government. What
rules there are seem to_ indi-
cate that the
that each member must apply the
maturity — or better here, the
common sense—that she is as-
sumed to have. It seems to me
that the existing rules imply in
the students a belief in the lib-
eral spirit of the college, and a
willingness’ to maintain that
spirit.

A large area for the applica-
tion of common sense is in your
responsibility for not bringing
discredit upon the College,
whether at school or away from
school. Remember that in any
way that you might discredit
yourself, so may you discredit the
College—you are for four years
an active representative of Bryn
Mawr.

The Constitution says that each



Association feels’

principles we ‘would like to dis-
cuss further at other times—in
the meantime perhaps you can
think about what they mean. to
you. ., {

A third important point that
the Constitution makes, and which
likewise serves as a guiding rule,
is that “the word of the student is
taken as final at all times”. This
seems to me a clear indication
of students’ belief in the strength
of the Self-Gov system; a strength
that we know can be maintained
only by an honor and strength of
the individual members.

It will become very evident to
you, if it has not become so al-
ready, that the basis of Self-Gov
is a double one: it is of individual
and community responsibility.
YOU are on your honor to your
self and to Bryn Mawr, the com-
‘munity in which you now live. You
are responsible to yourself and to
your community, You represent
both yourself and your commun-
ity to others. You have come to
Bryn Mawr to avail yourself of
the unique academic opportun-
ities; to profit from its academic
and social freedom and maturity.
You are responsible both to your-
self and your community to gain
as much as possible from the Col-
lege in all its aspects; and just as
much, you are responsible to your-
self and to your community to
help to_keep the College commun-
ity free and mature in outlook.

Magnificent Production
Of “Oliver Twist’’
Ranks High

by Helen Katz, °53

The translation of a book ideal-
ized by millions into a successful
and faithful motion picture is no
easy task; the only easy’ part
comes in twisting or misinterpret-
ing a plot. But in transferring
Dickens’ vivid classic to a film,
touches and nuances have been
added so that the original is delin-
eated, but not changed in the osten-
sible plot or its subtleties.

Done by the same team that
presented Great Expectations, J,
Arthur Rank, Director David Lean
and Producer Ronald Neame, the
story of Oliver Twist rings genu-
inely with the whimsy, detail, and
most of the original dialogue. The
Alec Guinness portrayal of Fagin.
with his magnificent, gestured in-
nuendoes, and John Howard Dav-
ies’ sensitive picture of Oliver has
remained as close as would seem
possible to the original Dickens’
cliche. The camera, too, has kept
close to a filming cliche—one rich
in the beauty of black and white
and shadow—each scene change
is a still, reminiscent of the Cruik-
shank illustrations, and for a hour
and 45 minutes, there is no ques-
tion of boredom or a quarrel with
the editing, only total absorption
into appealing and artistic scenes.
During the longer scenes, there
are slow, luxurious camera plays
on faces, filth and finery, while
the “silent story-teller” technique,
a subtle outgrowth of early films,
has reign and control.

A word, too, can be said for the
sound direction, which like the act-
ing and filming, has been recruit-
ed into a wonderful pattern of
noises that help to deepen the
foundation of the film as a crea-
tive art offering.

Much has also been done in cre-
atively adapting the other charac-
ters. Francis L. Sullivan, as Mr.
Bumble, enormous, short-sighted,
and fawning; and Anthony New-
ley, as the Artful Dodger, are su-
perbly cast: they give a four-di-
mensional glow to the story.

°69 Meets Alliance
At Informal Tea

On Tuesday, October 2, the
Bryn Mawr Alliance for Political
Affairs held a tea in the Com-
mon Room to help acquaint fresh-
men and other interested students
with the various activities of the
organization. The chairmen of
the different groups» within the
Alliance were conveniently seated
around the sides of the Common
Room to answer any questions
that they might be asked about
their particular groups. Chickie
Glassberg, president of the Al-
liance, was stirring up interest in
the Alliance as a whole, while her
subordinates competed for the
specialized interests of the many
attending freshmen.

The following are the active and
enthusiastic heads of the Alliance
organizations: Current Events,
Eve Romaine; ICG, Jane Caster;
IRC, Patsy Price; UWF, Marcia
Barmon; Debate Club, Sally El-
der; Publicity, Barbara Goldman;
Students for Democratic Action,
Alice Hartman; Clothing Drive,
Jan Grimminger.

While sipping a most welcome
cup of tea, many freshmen and
other students learned in an in-
formal manner about the many
and varied functions of the Al-
liance. They learned that the In-
tercollegiate Conference on Gov-
ernment gives one a chance to
taste the life of a congresswoman
at a_ state-wide intercollegiate
convention. They discovered that
the Debate Club’s agenda includes
trips to Princeton, Vassar, and
West Point and that the United
World Federalists plan for a con-
vention October 19-21. They
learned of the excellent instruc-



shining above the cast, but the fig-
ure of Oliver is so disarming that
few want to resist being drawn in
by the sentimental yet ironic plot
built around a fragile boy sur-
rounded by outlandish abnormals.

Robert Newton as Bill Sikes could

Approves of Girls

“T mountain walk, not mountain
climb . .. let’s put it that way”,
said Mr. Berthoff. No gentleman

to be mis-quoted is he, and this is

fitting and right, for he teaches
English Comp as well as American
Literature. The Bryn Mawr cam-
pus is too new for any but the
most nebulous first impression,
and this interviewer came much
too close upon his heels for any-
thing crystallized and fermented,
as it were. But then, perhaps that
extra-bright first impression is
best after all.

“T must say ... and this is just
a general sort of thing, you know
. . « but the girls seem very . .

well, pleasant. Perhaps it’s the
trees, all the pretty foliage,
though”. At least this gracious

gentleman added he had as yet
marked no limp hair, knobby knee
socks or Thurberian football kick-
ers.

Ohio-born, Harvard-educated, he
staunchly roots for a midwestern
institution—the Cleveland Indians,
“Though I’ve sort of given up
hope”. He is a little amazed at
the industry of the Freshman
Comp class ... “They came to the
library to read the books before I
could put them on the shelf”, and
has also noted that a great many
foreign students are enrolled in
his American Lit course.

Other random impressions: “My

tion in political affairs that the
Current Events lectures provide
and about the understanding of

good refreshments and enlighten-

-ing information on the activities

of the Alliance for all who at-
tended.

Mlle. Offers Jobs
On College Board

MADEMOISELLE magazine is
now accepting applications from
undergraduate women for mem-
bership on its 1951-1952 College
Board.

Girls who are accepted on the
College Board do three assign-
ments during the college year.
Assignments give College Board
Members a chance to write fea-
tures about life on their campus;
to submit art work, fashion or
promotion ideas for possible use
in MADEMOISELLE; to develop
their critical and creative talents;
to discover their own abilities and
job interests.

College Board Members who
come out among the top twenty
on the assignments win a MADE-
MOISELLE Guest Editorship, will
be brought to New York next
June to help write, edit and illus-
trate the August College issue.
They will be paid a regular sal-
ary for their month’s work, plus
round-trip transportation to New
York City.

While in New York, each Guest
Editor takes part in a full cal-
endar of activities designed to
give her a head start in her ca-
reer, She interviews a celebrity
in her chosen field, visits fashion





Incidentally . . .

These days we remember the
stations from Philadelphia to
Bryn Mawr with the sentence “Old
maids nevertheless would all have
babies,”

But thirty years ago the sen-
tence was “Over much noise wil!
addle Hannah’s brain.”

It is quite possible that this
shifting emphasis, from noise to
babies, has deep-seated psycholog-

‘ical implications, indicating a gen-

eral change in female undergrad-
uates’ interests. And it is very
possible indeed that our grammar
hasn’t improved.



workrooms, newspaper offices,
stores and advertising agencies.

October 31 is the deadline for
applying for the College Board.
The application is a criticism of
either MADEMOISELLE’s Au-
gust 1951 College issue (see page
355) or the September issue (see
page 111). Successful candidates
will be notified of acceptance on
the College Board the first week
in November; the first College
Board assignment will appear in
MADEMOISELLE’s November
issue.

to: College Board Editor, MADE-
MOISELLE, 575 Madison Avenue,
New York 22, N. Y.
