Anne Eristoff, ‘54
Speaks on Self-Gov

(Following is the text of the
speech given Thursday evening by
Anne Eristoff, president of Self-
Gov.)

Well, first of all, a very hearty
welcome to Bryn Mawr! I suppose
you’ve been hearing that through
out the day, but this is our first
chance of saying it to you en masse
—gso you’ll have to take it!

When Bryn Mawr trustees, sixty-
one years ago, granted to the stu-
dents the original Self-Government
charter, there must have been
many parents and friends who felt
this early experiment in student
rule over their own social life was
a hazardous, unwarranted and
hopeless adventure. The majority,
however, evidently felt that its
value outweighed the drawbacks;
and it has been so proven again
and again—this theory that the
capacity for self-government, in
the individual or on a college cam-
pus or as a nation, is as much a
question of opportunity as of abil-
ity; that, granting ability to be a
necessary condition, then certainly
a free field for its exercise, and the
remorseless tests of responsibility,
failure, and criticism are absolute-
ly indispensable. _

We will never get it right until
we’ve made, and corrected, a great
many mistakes!—and the opportun-
ity to make those constructive mis-
takes is ours here. I don’t mean
this to sound pessimistic, but I am
sure you see the point: the very
fact that this system seems to
some inadequate or nonsensical or
/whatever is an added incentive to
the reasoning which calls such ex-
periments absolutely necessary,
particularly in a democracy. The
ability for self-government will
grow, given the chance!

To Head Troop

by Joan Havens, ’56

“Hurry up, freshmen! Keep
that line straight, now. And kind-
ly stop the giggling back there un-
der the arch. Oh, here’s the Fire-
men’s Band! Don’t forget the
words of our song! All right;
ready—GET IN LINE!! We’re not
interested in hearing all about the
positively exciting charaeter who
took you to Eighth Entry after
the dance; it’s time foi Parade
Night!”

Thus, accompanied by the ex-
tremely un-military march of out-
of-step feet tramping from Pem-
broke Arch through the campus,
Parade Night officially gets under
way. This festivity ends the first
day of classes, on a note that is
anything but studious.

Earlier, usually that afternoon,
the Freshmen in each hall have
learned the words of their Parade
Night song, which they will sing
to some familiar tune. The job of
the Sophomores is that of discov-
ering this tune, and devious meth-
ods are employed in attempting to
do this. Sophomores posing as
Freshmen are plentiful around the
campus, slipping into closed Fresh-
man meetings wearing looks of
utter innocence. Beware that
strangely sophisticated(?) “Fresh-
man” lurking everywhere on this
day!

After Parade Night begins, the
Freshmen learn whether or not
the Sophomores have stolen their
song. Accompanied, of course, by
the faithfully perennial Firemen’s
Band, the classes march down to

This was occasioned
by the delightful necessity to meet
freshmen at the station as early as
six-thirty. There were 177 all told,
but somehow Bryn Mawr had man-
aged to stretch her seams and
make room for them all.

A good breakfast was waiting
for those who arrived between
eight and nine, and there was con-
tinuous traffic in the wardens’ of-
fices. Taking freshmen to their
rooms proved to be a refrésher

The spate of appointments was
relieved in the afternoon by hall
teas attended by parents, freshmen
and the committee. It was the first
of many teas, formal and informal,
and freshmen soon realized that
afternoon tea is the secret weapon
of the Bryn Mawrter who wants
to put something across, be it a
club, an organization, or her
iriends!

Thursday night Nano Eristoff
cold the freshmen about Self-Gov,
and hall meetings with the war-
dens and presidents followed, with
the purpose of enlightening fresh-
men about the value of the forty-
watt bulb and other more serious
matters. Hall parties ended the
evening officially, but in time-hon-
ored custom most of the freshmen
stayed up and got acquainted into
the small hours.

Friday afternoon ,at the Curric-
ulum Committee tea in Wyndham,
representatives for the different
departments vied with each other
in attempting to attract freshmen
to their particular field.

The rest of the day was spent
most actively, with the traditional
“Picnic and Scavenger Hunt” craft-
ily arranged so that the picnic
éame second and the scavenger
hunt was really a treasure hunt,
thereby ensuring the safety of all
local mustaches and other valuable
property. That evening all hands
gravitated to Applebee Barn for
refreshments and singing to the
excellent accompaniment of Bess
Foulke’s guitar.

S3-BS Welcome

The College News would like very much to join in the
chorus of “Welcome, Freshman’. We want you to feel at
home and enjoy Bryn Mawr as much as those who have al-
ready found a home here.

By now you must be acquainted with the halls of resi-
dence, the Likrary, Taylor, and Goodhart. You have learned
rules, tradition, and that you are ipso facto a member of this
and that. The College News, along with the other organiza-
tions on campus, welcomes your interest and support—for we
are interested in you.

We know that you have been harried and rushed with
speeches and instructions, names and places, schedules and
courses; but we know that when you are settled in a normal
school life, you will derive a great deal of pleasure from the
curriculum and activities of Bryn Mawr.

There are three sides to college life. There is the aca-
demic side, the extra-curricular side, and the social side; in
order for the student to have a well-balanced career her time
should be divided among all three sides.

The academic side, dealing with the requirements of the
college and study in the different fields of endeavor, should
not be taken lightly, nor should it asume a crushing import-
ance. fe

Extra-curricular activities are an important phase of col-
‘lege life. They are instrumental in forming lasting friend-
ships, and they help to develop interests in the community
about you—your home for the next four years. Be active,
and help your campus and fellow students.

Finally, but not to be overlooked, is the social side of
college life here at Bryn Mawr. Whether it consists of a trip
to the Hearth, a movie with a friend, a gay dance, or simply
a walk around the campus, some relaxation and fun are a
necessary part of life any where, especially in college.

A happy trio of these three aspects, sharing the stu-
dent’s time, can and will lead to a deep fulfillment of life at
Bryn Mawr. :

‘The Ville’ Offers
Foods, Knicknacks,

Many Necessities

Use™Map and Intuition
To Locate Stores
In Bryn Mawr

by Barbara Drysdale, ’55

The only occupational hazard of
shopping along the Main Line is
the problem of finding the stores.
A safe rule to follow is to let the
Ville take care of ycur immediate
needs and Ardmore s:pply luxur-
ies, such as clothes and furniture.

Finding the Ville is relatively
simple—one block down from Rock
arch (past Shipley school which is
recognizable by the green
suits the girls wear), then a right
turn past Baldwin (with turrets
and great rolling lawns) and on
down to the railroad station.

The Acme Supermarket is the
first stop on the tour. It’s really a
supermarket, where you can find
almost everything, including lots
of fattening food for teas. Next
door is the Country Bookstore, and
beside it is Parvin’s Drug Store.
Below Parvin’s is Cook’s; the jew-
eler.

Further down Bryn Mawr Ave-
nue, past the Post Office and the
Bryn Mawr Trust Company, is
Lancaster Pike, where you find
most of the shops.

On the right hand side of the
street are Miss Noirot’s—expensive
clothes and lovely windows for
window shopping—and Jeannette’s
Flowers. Several cleaners are on
this side, as is the famous Ham-
burg Hearth, a three-college hang-
out where they serve good food.

Joyce Lewis, next door to the
Hearth, features attractive college
clothes. Down toward the end of
the block are Richard Stockton’s—
fine gifts—and Rene Marcel, hair-
dresser. The Mexican Shop, in the
next block, has unique gifts and
room accessories, although it seems
strange to come to, Pennsylvania
and buy Mexican articles.

Crossing the street, the tour
comes to the Wilson (Laundry.
Back towards (Bryn Mawr Avenue
are Atkins and Woolworth—two
musts for the odds and ends every
room needs.

Describing the News Agency is
a little difficult—it seems to have
all the accoutrements of a drug-
store—fountain, papers and maga-
zines, and even school supplies—
without the drugs. The News
Agency is famous for its hoagies.
Try them when yov’re feeling ad-
venturous.

Mary McCrystal has notions and

as a must for things like shelf-pa-
per and paint. The Sun Ray Drug
Store is a fascinating place even
for wandering through.

Past the court of the Bryn Mawr
movies (where another jeweler is
located) are the Greek’s—an' eating
place similar to the Hearth—and

as well as a selection of greeting

Behind the Photo Center is the

ly the place to go for that extra

-|special tea, Finally the tour comes

to the Bryn Mawr National Bank
right across from the Trust Com-
pany on bankers’ corner.

The Suburban Shopping Center
in Ardmore has branches of Straw-
bridge and Clothier, Peck and
and Best and Company.
There are numerous other shops
around the Center as well, and
down on Lancaster Pike are sever-
al first- and second-hand furniture
stores.

All that remains to be said is
“Good shopping” to all of you.

Library F eatures Works Of Bryn Mawr Graduate

by Marcia Director, ’°55

An interesting ,exhibit of books

by Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant,
Bryn Mawr ’03, featuring her lat-
est book, Willa Cather, A Memoir,
is now on display in the Quita
Woodward Koom in the west wing
of the library.

Willa Cather, A Memoir, which

we are fortunate fo have through
the compliments of the author,
deals with a long friendship be-
tween the author and the subject.
Miss Cather was managing editor

of McClure’s Magazine at the time
that it was attempting reform. It



was then that Miss Sergeant sold
her an article—her first—dealing
with industrial abuses, a topic that
she had been investigating in New
York.

Miss Sergeant had just graduat-
ed from Bryn Mawr, and her bril-
liant article led to a long friend-
ship with Miss Cather. Just then,
however, Miss Cather left her
career with McClure’s Magazine io
enter the field of creative writing.
Miss Sergeant, in her book about
Willa Cather, deals to a great ex-
tent with her sources and material.

Writing a story filled with
warmth and appreciativeness for
their literary friendship, Miss Ser-
geant traces Willa Cather’s prog-



ress in her field, as well as her
development as an individual dur-
ing changing times. :

Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant her-
self was born in New England.
Her first book, which also appears
in the exhibit, is French Perspec-
tive, dealing with her understand-
ing of France.

Other books by Miss Shepley are
on display. They are Shadow
Shapes, the story of a wounded
woman looking back to war and
seeing approaching peace; Fire
Under The Andes, containing por-
traits of ericans as seen in the
Twenties; and Short as any
Dream, about her New England
origins,

your hall president or any official
of the association for special per-
missions.

Also this fall we hope to hold an
open meeting of the Advisory Board
of Hall presidents and have the
Executive Board hold a mock trial
for your edification, because the
last thing anyone wants is for you
to get the impression that we work
as a secret police behind closed
doors. There is another event
which will be going on throughout
this winter and in which we espec-
ially need and beg your help. This
is the year when a required revi-
sion of our constitution takes
place. It happens every four
years and is the time to hear all
sorts of gripes and advice and
bring the whole business up to
date.

Many of you I know are used to
vigorous and liberal student gov-
ernment systems of varying sorts
in your schools; others have had
limited acquaintance with such
systems; and all of you in both ca-
tegories can give us real help.'!
Those of you who are old hands at
the business can give us of your
experience and varied viewpoints.
Those who are new to it we hope
very much will offer us their
frank reactions, coming to it as
they do with no predetermined
opinions. The new ideas and fresh
approach of some and thoughtful
analysis by all will be invaluable
to the Association.

I feel very strongly that any or-
ganization, and more especially
one which deals with human weak-
nesses and depends on the individ-
ual’s social conscience, having as it
must certain traditional ideas as
framework (as we mentioned earl-
ier) must at the same time re-
examine, experiment and modify
continuously its methods and its
body of laws, otherwise it stulti-
fies and degenerates into an an-
achronism.

This organization will become,
then, as good as you make it dur-
ing your four years here, and your
steady interest is, more than any-
thing else, what we ask for and
rely on.

C

















When you smoke Chesterfield it’s
so satisfying to know that you are
getting the one cigarette that's low
in nicotine, highest in quality.
A fact proved by chemical
analyses of the country’s six
leading cigarette brands.













And it’s so satisfying to know that
a doctor reports no adverse effects
to the nose, throat and sinuses,

from smoking Chesterfield.
The doctor’s report is part of
a program supervised by a
responsible independent re-
search laboratory and is based
on thorough bi-monthly exam-
inations of a group of Chester-
field smokers over a period of



a year and a half.
