New Chess Club

In response to the letter recent-
ly published in the News, Bryn
Mawr has organized a Chess Club,
which plans to meet every Thurs-
day after dinner in Dalton’s sec-
ond floor Biology Lab.

“Sit Back, Relax ...

Operating on a flexible system,
the Chess Club will welcome any
devoted chess players who want
to relax (?) for an evening, as
well as its 25 to 80 members at
these meetings. The group is being
split into a section of beginners,
taught by Miss Mabel Lang with
the help of sundry Haverford stu-
dents, and one of more advanced
players.

Mary McLean is an integral part of
the IBM sales force. The reason is
that the installation of every IBM
system requires investigation and
preparation—including a period of
adjustment that continues for several
weeks after the first machine has
been installed. During this initial
phase, Mary is busy ... programming

tomer... and generally assuming
a great and unusual responsibility for
a woman.

‘This is neither a desk nor a travel-
ing job,’’ says Mary. “I spend my
day working with people in my home

tomer’s personnel in the proper use
and care of their IBM equipment.
In other words, I see to it that every-
thing is running smoothly from the

work so stimulating—and I appreci-

Learning the fundamentals
Mary’s first business experience in
Buffalo was somewhat limiting. It
was not until the spring of 1955 that
a young IBM executive put the IBM
bee in Mary’s bonnet. She investi-
gated, liked what she heard and saw,
and immediately began a three .
months’, course for beginners in the
Buffalo office. There she studied the
operations of the basic calculators

Soviets’ Subways

Shown By Slides

Thursday afternoon in the Com-
mon Room, Captain W. D. A. Bag-
nell showed slides with a commen-
tary on his trip to Russia. The
slides, black-and-white and color,
were mostly of Leningrad and Mos-
cow. pais

Interesting features of Russian
life were brought out by the slides.
Russian clothing on the whole is
very poor, and very expensive,
There are very few cars (and few
people as well) in the streets. Hotel
accommodations are _ practically
non-existent, The railway system
is good and comfortable, but Cap-
tain Bagnell was disturbed by the
public-announcing system, which
continually blares- music whether
the travellers want it or not. The
subway in Moscow is magnificent,
with glass chandeliers and marble
floors, but is so expensive that few
people use it,

Pictures of a collective farm
showed well-cared-for animals, but
antiquated and poor equipment.
There is no mechanization on these
farms; consequently it takes 1,000
people to run a 5,000 acre-farm:
The farm is run like a European
feudal manor, the workers paid in
produce rather than cash. Because
of vast areas involved it is difficult
to get the people to adopt modern
methods and progress is slow.
Captain. Bagnell showed many
interesting slides of city buildings,
among them the Kremlin, St.
Basil’s Cathedral anu tne Bsishei
‘heater, which shows, like many
Russian buildings, the influence of
Greek architecture.

Many other slides, including
some of Leningrad’s. slum quarter,
and of the lavish annual May Day
parade, gave a varied and highly
interesting picture of modern Rus-
sia.
