States Unemployment Major Issue

State Senator George M. Leader,
Democratic candidate for Governor
of. Pennsylvania, told a group of
Bryn Mawr and Haverford stu-
dents that “The major issue in the
campaign this year is unemploy-
ment.” Senator Leader spoke at a
meeting held in Goodhart Hall on
Tuesday. ~

Commenting upon what he sail
ed an “economic blight over what
was originally the industrial ‘north-
east,” Leader called attention to
the gmall increase in industry ~in
Fenngylvania as compared to the
increase in the South. To revital-
ize industry .in the state, Sen.
Leader spoke in favor of lower
power rates, long-term leases for
companies on new buildings and |
plants, and an active State Plan-
ning ion,

In» to student questions
on the pl ht of the ¢oal industry,
Senator Leader said that he had
no-miracles for its récovery. He
stated that the primary reason for
the drop in the industry was the
increased use of gas and oil as
fuel, and expressed the belief that
an increase in population in Penn-
sylvania would help to. solve some

Senator Leader speutiouad the

prevention . of hasty injunctions,







ment compensations, enforcement
of a minimum wage law, and a
labor-management council as im-

provement he would make in the

field of labor relations.

Senator ‘Leader felt that Penn-
sylvania was “a generation behind
the times” in such fields as éeduca-
tion and government. administra-
4 tion. He noted the failure of the
previous Republican administration
in Harrisburg to achieve the four
major goals set forth by Gov. Fine
in 1953. These were (1) govern-
ment reorganization, (2) constitu-
tional revision (3) reapportionment
of House and Senate (4) state Fair
Employment Practices Commis-
sion. Senator Leader found the Ad-
ministration to be successful only
in half of point (3), which was the
reapportionment of the House.

Senator Leader said he felt the

state should work in conjunction| -

with housing authorities of major
cities, thus helping to fill the vac-
uum which he believed had been

left by: the failure of the federal].

Senator Leader, who opposes the

state sales tax, said he felt that

President McBride Announces
Increased College Enrollment

“A first order of business for
this seventieth year,” said Presi-
dent McBride at the college’s open-
ing assembly, “will be a new study
of the size of the college. oe

Speaking in Goodhart, Sept. 28,
to a student-faculty body of over
800, Miss McBride touched on the
ever-increasing enrollment, new
faculty appointments and the es-
tablishment of a Spanish-speaking
hall in East House.

Pressed again by a large number
of applications, Bryn Mawr has in-
creased its enrollment by two and
one-half per cent, the presidgni |
noted in commenting on this year’s
student body. The college will be
the largest in its history with 761
students, including 183 in the |
freshman class and 181 in the
graduate school.

“This review of Bryn Mawr’s
growing enrollment,” Miss McBride
declared, “will take into account |
present crowding as well as the
probable increases in college en-
rollments which will come on a na- |
tion-wide basis as the new high-'
school population comes to college
age.”

Miss McBride announced that

Spanish House and freshman dor-
mitory this semester. ‘The build-
ing, located next to the College
Inn, has occasionally been rented
in the past by the college, but was
purchased last winter.

Spanish decor has been empha-

where there are combined smokers
and showcases, Vivid reds and
yellows combine with such treas-
ures as a chest and mirror from
Madrid, a brocade drapery from
Valencia in the dining room, a
carved table from Madrid, and two
antique Spanish chairs which were
formerly in the President’s office.
These have been nicknamed Fer-
dinand and Isabella by the stu-
dents.

‘The third floor has been devot-
ed to Spanish students, consisting
of Lois. Beekey, Gloria Ramos,
Bobby Zwart, Barbara Tyler, Alex-
andra Davies, and Cicely Hicks.
Their warden, Miss Veron, is a
Bryn Mawr graduate who spent
last year in Spain.
