Hungry?

Appointment - hounded freshmen
will find their ravenous appetites
well-satisfied by the Hamburg
Hearth’s rare hamburgers, cheese-
burgers and - - shh - - burgundy-
burgers. The Hearth has increas-
ed its bill of fare to include tempt-
ing Chicken-In-A-Basket. For lei-
surely tea in a tiny gracious tea-
room, go through the wrought-
iron gate under the sign “Kom-
munity Kitchen”. The chocolate
eake (home-baked) and the cinna-
mon toast are unsurpassed, and
prices fit the purse.

The College Inn—Bryn Mawr’s
nearest and dearest—has a new
canary-yellow interior and the us-
ual excellent food served, while
the weather is warm, on the porch
under an arboreous awning.

No elegance involved with the
News Agency, but the variety of
gimmicks they sell, besides chow,

Non-Res Students, Not Non-entities,

Need And Deserve Heeding By Reses

by Emmy Cadawalader, ’52

The Non-Residents are going to
be noticed this year. Their able
leader, Bunny MoClenahan, is full
of plans to make the non-resident
group a more essential part of
the college. All through the next
week the old non-reses will be
working hard to help the new
freshmen get started on their first

college year. Bs
Last Thursday, in the sacred
shade of Senior Row, a picnic was

given by the old girls to meet the
new. During a tremendous lunch
of sandwiches and other types of
picnic ‘food, questions were an-
swered, and soon everyone was in-
volved with telling about her pre-

oJ



vious life and what she wanted to
do at Bryn Mawr.

This fall there are thirty-four
non-reses in all, a much larger
group than before, beaming with
enthusiasm for the coming year.
Nine are transfer students from
various eastern colleges. In the
Senior class: Margie Boles and
Mary Childs from Wellesley, and
Ann Steel from Smith. Patricia
Clifford from Pembroke College,
J. Fritz and Collot d’Escury from
France, add to the Junior class.
The sophomores are Barbara
Bradley from William and: Mary
College, Agnes Sherman from
Sweet Briar, and Lynn Weinstein

No Clo’?

Want a new evening gown for
a big Princeton weekend? a cash-
mere sweater? pearls, stockings,
earrings? All these are within
five minutes walk. Nancy Brown’s,
a basement shop near the Acme,
has simple sport clothes in ex-
cellent taste. Miss Noirot’s (con-
scious of Harper’s Bazaar) goes
in for glamourous high fashion.
Carson’s, Martie’s, Joyce Lewis,
and the Tres Chic Shoppe are
good for sweaters, stockings, less
expensive dresses and costume
jewelry. McCrystal’s carries yard-
age for ambitious seamstresses.

Freshman Melody
Becomes Quarry

Of Soph. Sleuths

Every fall, after the shock of
the first lectures, members of the
freshman and sophomore classes

| | join in a fire-worship ceremony.

Not that the upper classes abhor
this display of youthful exuber-
it merely seems more digni-
‘fied to stand at the top of the hill,
in long black ‘gown, than to join
the headlong charge to the mea-
dow.

This is the beginning of the
freshman-sophomore rivalry, how-
ever. For several days there have
been secret meetings. Freshmen,
cautioned to trust no strange face,
eject suspicious characters, assum-
ing that they are sophomores. Tay-
lor Hall’s fire escape has been
crawling with listening figures,
straining to discover the tune of
the Parade Night song, and seem-
ingly innocent questions are ask-
ed.

Finally, the procession gathers
under Pem Arch. There is the
anxious waiting for. the.. first
glimpse of the fireman’s band,
with the dark figures of the upper-
classmen groping for matches. The
freshmen cluster in little groups,
wondering themselves what the
tune will be, struggling to remem=
ber the words from’ a’ brief glance.

.| Then, at last, there.’is. the; faint

toot, and after a few tentative
playings of the melody, the Fresh-
men ‘realize that ‘here is. The
Song. The singing grows strong-
er, the march behind Rhoads be-
gins, ‘and ‘finally ‘the downhill rush,
‘possibly to the jeering parody of
the sophomores. In a few min-
utes, it is all over, and the secret-
keeping freshmen-or the parody-
making sophomores head in tri-

umph to the step-singing at Tay-
lor.

Freshmen Again Invade East House;
Faculty Move Into Scull Properties |’

The College has again leased
for a year the property on the
east corner of Lombaert Street and
Morris Avenue, just south of the
College Inn. This is East House,
which upperclassmen will re-
member from the delightful: de-
scriptions (by Edy Mason Ham,
class of 1950) printed two years
ago in the NEWS. East House
boasts no upperclassmen, but will
be inhabited instead: by ten, fresh-

men, who will be guarded from all

harm under the capable .-warden-
ship of Ann Chowning, ’50..Charm
and variety are added to Bryn
Mawr with the extension of
environs to include the white

house with’ its circular front’ win-
dows and long sweep of lawn. ‘The

happy and flourishing four years

College and You

The summer weeks passed away quickly for the future
members of the class of 1955. You answered letters from the
Freshman Week Committee and packed your trunks. Pres-
ently, sooner than you realized, you were actually at Bryn
Mawr. Looking at the lawns and ivied stone towers, you
might have felt acutely, for owe moment, “This is my col-





Yn one sense you found out. You were immediately over-

ing in another, swimming test (disconcerting with its drip-
py hair) in a third building. Teas, endless introductions,

baggage arrangements—all these now distract you from the}

basic question, which you may or may not have asked your-
self as yet.

What are you supposed to do at college? You have some
eas about what ‘you expect college to do for you, but are
you aware that it is just as important, or more so, for you to
have a clear understanding of what you expect to do for the
college? Even though you are besieged with mechanical ar-
rangements to be made, and are jovially entertained with ex-
tracurricular delights, the fact you must always keep in
mind is: you are enrolled at Bryn Mawr with one main aim
in view—to study.

This is not saying that you shouldn’t have extracurricu-
lar activities; on the contrary, they are part of your educa-
tion. They are, however, what their name says: extra. These}
extras should wait until the curriculum, which is the core of
your life at Bryn Mawr, is thoroughly under your control.
But on the other hand, don’t get scared, and creep off to a
liwrary cabbyhole to begin four years of slave labor out of a
‘guilty subservience to academic pressure. By adopting either
extreme, you are not really doing what the college best ex-
pects of you. A courageous and creative approach to your,
studies--doing each day the work of that day—and an in-
‘terest in campus life outside the classroom, whether in ‘the’
field of the arts, politics, or socal service, are What is expect-
_ed of you in a general sense. Exactly how you proportion’
your time is up to you alone, and it will-be no smail test of
hace gy gy no matter how confident you now feel.

|_ Tt might also be well to remember that those who con-
‘ribute most to community are usually those who do more

mittee.

Curric. Com. Tells
Detail On Courses

Committee is the mediator be-
tween the students and faculty in
regard to academic matters. It is
advisory rather than legislative
and consists of a student represen-
tative from each department, who
presents suggestions, ideas for
new courses and grievances of
those in ther department. ‘Any
other matter pertaining directly
or indirectly to the curriculum
may be discussed. Suggestions 91
grievances are then referred to
the Faculty Curriculum Commit-
tee which acts on them. Students

are urged to consult the faculty at
any time for information about
courses or their major work.

The following is a list of this
year’s @tudent Curriculum Com-
mittee. If there is anything that
you, as freshmen, feel should be
brought to the attention of the
Committee, speak to the student
representative of the department,
or to anyone else on the Commit-
tee.

Freshman Comp.
ee ‘ :
Divided Into Eras
An experiment in the freshman
course in English Composition is
being undertaken this year as a
result of griticism and sugges-
‘tens from the Curriculum Com-
The emphasis in the
course is upon training in writing,
but nevertheless it is felt that
students will be able to investi-
gate critical ideas more thorough-
ly if their reading is confined to
a particular period. Every stu-
dent will decide in which of three
periods she would like best to
read: {a} literature of the twen-
‘tieth century, (b) American liter-
ature, 1840-1951, and (c) English
{literature of the Renaissance. Fic-
tion, poetry and critical and argu-







| mentative prose will be read;})

problems of the writer in his time
will be ‘stressed. Weekly papers

‘and discussions plus _ individual
conferences with each student are!



to be ‘held as in previous years,

BMC Juniors Go
French a la Mode

Maxine Skwirsky, Nora Vala-
bregue, and Mildred Thompson, of
the class of 1953, have embarked
on a year of study which promises
to be very different from that
which they have known at Bryn
Mawr College. Sixty-two mem-
bers of the 1951-52 Junior Year in
France, sponsored since 1948 by
Sweet Briar College, sailed from
New York on the Mauretania on
Friday, Sept. 7.

On arrival in France they will
be joined by fellow students and
the entire group of 75 young men
and women from 34 colleges and
universities in’ this country will
travel to Tours, provincial capital
in the chateau country. During the
six weeks’ period of intensive lan-
guage study the students will live
with French families in Tours.
Late in October they will enroll at
the University of Paris for the
regular winter term.

Before leaving New York, the
students received a foretaste of
French hospitality when they at-
tended a reception given in their
honor by M. Rene de Messieres,
Cultural Counselor for the French
Embassy, on Thursday afternoon,
Sept. 6. At that time, they also
met Dr. ‘Anne Gary Pannell, pres-
ident of Sweet Briar College, who
spoke to the group informally.

Beate Freeman, 53, is studying
abroad independently this year,
and Adele Lawrence is with the
Smith group studying in Italy.



Freshmen! Don’t forget —
this afternoon, Monday, Sep-
tember 24, at 2:00 p.m. in
Room F, Taylor, there is a
placement test in Italian. To-
morrow morning at 9:00 a.m.
Tuesday, September 25, in the
same room, a placement test

in Spanish will be given.

OBSERVER

Oak leaves trace their odor in

the air, the familiar concrete arc
curves across the grass. and the
sky is slightly overcast, as in many
late Septembers gone by. You
reverence this place a little, ever
since its first impact made your
knees weaken and _ straighten
again, determinedly. ...Sometimes
it is the very scornfulness of your
words that subtly speaks of the in-
fluences focussed upon you here,
scorching you beneath a burning
glass. Up three stone steps: here
you are, and you have never been
away. (Here you discover old ig-
norances, old errors, rocks ov-
ergrown with summer, their jag-
ged contours moss-softened. You
have a job to do—you must try to
heip those who are now as_ un-
knowing as you once were—they
should not have to make the same
mistakes. These are the feelings
of those coming back, and are
very different from the feelings of
those coming in for the first time.

You arrive with a. heavy coat
and a too-heavy suitcase, excited,
the high color of autumn in your
face, threading through your hair.
The world you looked at uncom-
prehendingly through the College
‘Board Exams now begins to move
and vibrate about you. Much
laughter, many names ... sunlight
runs between the shutter-slats,
and you must stop pulling tissue
out of packing boxes in order to
go to tea. There you meet many
people. You will not acknowledge
the slight discomfort you feel,
this sensing that they are all
strangers, because you know it
will pass—in a night and day, for
then you will all be living togeth-
er, inescapably bound.

For the moment it is new, and
newness is the magic of this spee-
jal world. You are confident; you
are confidence in concentrate. What
you cannot know is how that con-
fidence will be shaken down like
oak leaves in a wind, and how it
will come back again, not rejuven-
ated, but entirely new. This is the
newness to wait for, the iliumin-
ation that does not quaver in its
quietness and strength. But there
will be no sadness for the leaves
that were so rashly red and sear-
ed so soon.

LAST NIGHTERS

“Paint Your Wagon”
Scores Success

At Shubert
By Frances Shirley, ’53

“Paint Your Wagon,” a new
musical, seems to tbe a rather suc-
cessful attempt to follow in the
footsteps of “Oklahoma!” The
tunes are catchy, the action live-
ly, and the actors themselves are
full of enthusiasm.

The play has been criticized for
being over-long, (almost three
hours), but it is a fault that could
be easily corrected by the omis-
sion of reprises, and the shorten-
ing of some of the dance se-
quences. However, there are none
of the boring between-scene waits,
and the action is seldom guilty of
dragging.

The story is of a western min-
ing town-and its founder, who
watches .his town grow, and then
suffers the anguish of seeing it
suddenly deserted as the gold runs
out, and the miners leave singing,
“Where’m I Goin’?”. James Bar-
ton is excellent as Rumson, creat-
ing a character through his style
of singing and dancing, and act-

ing superbly. Olga San Juan
plays his daughter, the only girl
in the town (a fact that is quite
frequently mentioned by the
miners themselves). Especially
delightful is her return from a
Boston school, where she has ac-
quired only a thin plating of gra-
ciousness over her cruder ways.

Of all the singers, the Mexican
lover had the best voice. His songs
suited him, and he easily got above
the orchestra, which at times seem-
ed too loud for a theatre the size
of the Shubert. ‘Nor can one over-
look the singing of Mr. (Reed, as
he strummed and sang about the
town of Rumson.

There was variety in the songs,







and there was variety in the danc-

‘ing. Choreography was by Agnes

deMille, and there were figures
from both hoedown and ballet,
with a can-can thrown in. Miners
danced, and so did five dainty
rope-jumpers, dressed in pink and
blue net. Here again, action was
the keynote. -

There were the moments that
lacked smoothness in the handling
of the sets that always make an
early performance of a play in-
teresting. There were the few
faults, But “Paint Your Wagon”
is delightful, and one was not sur-
prised to hear people whistling
the tunes as they walked up the
street.
