Bryn Mawr Sends |
S. Glass To N.S.A.

Sheppie Glass, ’b7, returned
from the Seventh Annual Nation-
al Student Congress “very much
impressed with the strength and
scope of N.S.A.” Sheppie was
Bryn Mawr’s representative at the
Congress, held at Iowa State Col-
lege on August 22 to 31.

She left the conference convinc-
ed that “the National Students As-
sociation had a lot,to offer Bryn
Mawr in the fields of internation-
al relations ard student legisla-
tion. Bryn Mawrtyrs interested
in active participation in N.S.A.
should keep several things im mind:

1, “NJS.A. on the campus is pri-
marily an information center and
co-ordinating agency that cannot
contribute to campus life. unless
the student body is willing to seek
it out.

2, “What N.S.A. can do for

local level.” .N.S.A., in the’ Penn-
sylvania region, holds several con-
ferences a year.

Gillette Speaks

Sheppie heard an address by
Senator Guy Gillette of Iowa, and
listened to messages sent to the
conference by President Eisenhow-
er, Vice-President Nixon, Harold
E, Stassen and Adlai Stevenson.
She attended meetings, regional
caucuses, and voted on numerous
resolutions presented to the con-

One of these called for an im-

mediate end to segregation in all

institutions of higher education,
and outlined steps by which stu-
dents might help achieve this end
on their own campuses. Southern
schools initiated the drafting of
this resolution. The drafting com-
mittee was composed of students
from all sections of the country
and of different races and*.relig-
ions,

The N.S.A. had Seon. awarded a
$30,000 Ford Grant, it was -an-
nounced, to expand their activities
in student government.



Students To Hear

The Rev. Galloway

“Shaking Foundations” will be
the subject of the sermon by the
Rev. Mr. John T. Galloway, who
will speak at the Bryn Mawr Chap-
el'for the first time Sunday, Oct. 9,
‘at 7:15 p.m. ‘

The Rev. Mr. Galloway has
taught homeletics (the art of
preaching) at Princeton Seminary
for the past, three years, and is
pastor at the Wayne Presbyterian
Church.

He served as a liaison chaplain
during the war, preaching to a con-
gregation of other chaplains, at
Fort Bragg. The Rev. Mr. Gallo-
way has held pastorates in Ken-
tucky and Baltimore.

Weekend Diggin
Means‘New’ W BMC

Two days of industrious digging

fulfilled one of WBMC’s most am-
bitious —plans when seven Haver-
ford engineers joined their femaie
counterparts in laying an under-
ground cable between Pembroke
and Denbigh last weekend.
- The trench in which the cable
was laid was quite a feat—its tor-
tuous route includes a tunnel un-
der the pavement which leads to
Dalton. It was the only way,
though, since the earlier plan of
running the permanent cable along
the heating pipes proved imprac-
tical. The new wiring is_an—im-
provement over the temporary sys-
tems which went from rooftop to
rooftop and had to be put up again
each autumn.

This is only the first step in
WBMC’s effort to be heard on

‘campus radios this year. Plans in-

clude another cable from Denbigh
to Merion, possibly within a month,
and a complete check of equipment.
The.mew audible WBMC broad-
casts from 4:00 to 6:30 and from
7:30 to 12:00 p.m. Monday through
Thursday. It beams in WHRC
front Haverford on Friday and
Saturday. =
The staff expects to run a new
series, entitled careers, which will

Freshmen or upperclassmen, did
you choose Bryn Mawr because of
its proximity to the busy metrop-
olis of Philadelphia? If so, or even
if not, this article may help you to
get to know the place and some of
the things you can do there with
or without a date.

Culture in doses of all sizes
is available at the end of our two-
car-local. “In Fairmount Park, at
the tip of Benjamin Franklin Park-
way is the Philadelphia-Museum of
Art, ranking with the finest in the
world. Special exhibits, such as
one last year of Van Gogh’s paint-
ings, are frequent. The museum is
opened daily from 9:30 to 5.

A few blocks down the boule-
vard, at 20th Street, is the Frank-
lin Memorial and Institute, a mu-
seum of science, One section of
the museum is the Fels planetar-
ium; the other features exhibits
relating to science, industry, chem-
istry, physics, astronomy, and the
applied sciences. Admission to both
is covered by a 60¢ fee. Hours are
daily from 12-5 and Sat., 10-5. The
building is closed on Mondays.

Independence Hall

For majors in history, govern-
ment, or those just plain interest-
ed, Independence Hall is one of the
most renowned, sites .in the city.
‘Admission is free and too many of
us wait till graduation to make the
trip.

There are many historical
churches, ‘as well as homes of peo-
ple like Edgar Allen Poe and Betsy
Ross that are open to sightseér

Two theaters, featuring shows
on their way to Broadway, as well
as the Academy of Music, are lo-
cated in downtown Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia orchestra plays
regularly at the Academy. Unre-
served seats, which, are acoustical-
ly excellent are on sale before

{the performance for $1.00. For you

lucky people without a Friday aft-
ernoon class, this is the way to
bring in the weekend. Prices for
reserved seats start at $1.50.

Then, for variety, Philly has a
Zoo. Officially “The Zoological
Gardens,” it is located at 34th
Street and Girard Avenue. The
Aquarium, north of Spring Garden
St., has a wide assortment of fish
and frogs.

Observer
by Molly Epstein, ’56

Ever want to go to the vilest
flicks around? Suddenly get the
urge to repair to Kelly’s for an
hour? Or are you the type who
knocks off by seeking a fourth for
bridge at 2 A. M.?

If you’re at Bryn Mawr, non-
conformity’s the style and you can
always find someone who feels as
you do. “The work gets us all,”
they say, even if they don’t agree
with you, and since they too will
soon be acting odd, they don’t con-
demn_ you for it.

When you’re in the “ivory tow-
er,” you don’t have to exemplify it.
Everyone there knows that you
really do know better; because if
you didn’t, you’d never have passed
Geology or English Comp. But
when—you’re--not~ in the rarefied
academic atmosphere, you are com-

pelled somehow to prove that you
really do belong there.

~At home, people just don’t ex-
pect idiosyncrasies other than
those characterizing the inveterate
pedant. They don’t understand that
an 85 in History of Art and a
striped shirt with polka-dotted
shorts are not mutually exclusive.
For those who “know,” it’s Hamlet
or Julius Caesar, not Alaskan
Westerns and spy thrillers.

_Serious young ladies don’t waste
their money on beer and their time
on frivolous card games, not, that
is, when they have to prove that
they’re serious.

Now that we’re back, let’s see
Invasion From Mars in the ville
. and, when we get back, how
about a few quick hands of Old
Maids?

Seven Professors
In 5 Departments
Presented Grants

Several professors from the col-
lege have-been awarded grants for
research both abroad and here at
the college.

From the Latin department,
Miss Marti has a Guggenheim Fel-
lowship for research on medieval
interpretations of Roman Stoic
writers. At this point she is in
Rome and will move to Spain in
the spring.

‘Miss Gilman, of the French de-
partment, is in Paris working on
early 18th century French poetry.
She will return to. Cambridge,
Mass. in the spring.

A Fulbright scholarship was

awarded to Miss Angeline Lo-

grasso, head of the Italian depart-
ment, who is now doing research
on Dante in Florence.

Mr. Bernheimer, of the History
of Art department, has been given
a grant to explore Italian sour¢es
of architectural romanticism. He
will not, however, make use of his
grant this year.

Scientists Excel

All the professors who are
using research grants here at the

‘college are members of science de-

partments. Miss Gardiner, ‘head
of the Biology department, has re-
ceived a grant from the National
Institute of Health, (She is study-
ing problems of growth, and con-
centrating on plant materials. By
growing isolated tissues in a
chemically defined medium it can
be shown what elements are nec-
essary for growth and what caus-
ed plant tissues to break down.
Miss Gardiner has been ’carrying
on this research for two years.

Miss Bliss, also of the Biology
department, is doing research for
the third year on a grant given to
her by the National Institute of
Health. Her subject is “Studies
of Bacterial. Resistance to Anti-
biotics and other Chemotherapeu-
tic Agents.” She is testing to
note their loss of resistance to an-
tibiotics and new anti-bacterial
agents.

Mr. Pruett, of the Physics. de-
partment, has received a grant
from the National Science Founda-
tion for research in the field of
nuclear physics. His work deals
with’ the fact that radioactive
atoms are radioactive because they
are unstable and, therefore, emit
radiation. By angular correlation
measurements of beta particles it
is possible to tell What goes on. in

‘the nucleus during decay.
