Campus Elects A. Hobson, S. Stifler
Presidents Of Self-Gov And Undergrad

By Helen Sagmaster, ’58

The newly elected president. of
the Self-Government Association is
junior Anne Hobson, of Pem West.
Anne was the first junior member
of the association this year.

Anne had training for this posi-
tion at the Cathedral School of St.
‘Mary’s, in Garden City, N.Y.,
where she was head of student gov-
ernment during her senior year.

Working with Self-Gov is a
great responsibility, Anne feels,
because the system is ‘so liberal,
However, she does not think it is
more liberal than it should be; the
criticism that the Board’is too le-
nient may result from the fact that
the minutes cannot possibly express

completely all of the reasons or
extenuating circumstances behind
each penalty.

During her freshman year, Anne
was a rotating member to A.A.,
Freshman hall representative, and
on the hockey squad. She also
worked on Freshman show, and
was in chorus and on the News.

The following year, Anne was
the first sophomore member of
A.A., on the hockey and basketball
squads, and a member of chorus.

‘In addition to these duties she

managed the hall book shop, and
served as a permission giver and
a campus guide.

At present, besides working with
Self-Gov, Anne is the secretary of
A.A., and again a permission giv-
er and campus guide. She took
part in the Junior Show, edited’ the
Freshman handbook, and works in
the hall bookshop.



By: Catharine Stimpson, °58

Sarah Stifler, a non-res from
Devon, was elected president of
the Undergraduate Association on
Tuesday, March 8.

“Tam overwhelmed by the re-
sponsibility of the office,” said the
new president,
the prospect of filling Wendy’s
shoes. I feel that she has been a
very fine president.”

Assuming office directly after
spring vacation, Sarah’s most im-

mediate and important. plans.con--

cern revision of the present elec-
tion and nominating procedures.
Questioned about these plans, she
advocated the petition system of
nomination to replace nominating
committees.

“IT hope to sustaifi the interest
in revision which was stimulated
by this election,” she said, “and I
would like to hear suggestions
from the people who have worked
on the nominating committees and
anybody on campus who is inter-
ested.”

She also commented that she
would like to utilize ideas put forth
by Undergrad candidates in the
nominating committee question-
naires.

Sarah’s second most important
project is “to re-evaluate the or-
ganization of Undergrad.” While
trying to avoid destruction of the
independence of League, Alliance
and A.A., she feels that Under-
grad can be more efficiently organ-
ized, especially in the relationship
of the Undergrad Board and Coun-
cil. She also feels that the rela-
tionship between Undergrad and
various and growing clubs should
be studied.



Emery Speaks On First Dynasty
In Egypt; Describes Evacuations

On March 8, Walter Bryan Em-
ery, Edwards Professor of Egypt-
ology at the University of London,
spoke in the Library on “The First
Egyptian Dynasty”.

Dr. Edwards has recently. left

akkara, in Egypt, where he has
ben conducting excavations of first
dynasty tombs. His talk, illustrat-
ed with slides. of the discoveries,
was a report of the tombs at Sak-
kara and their contents.

Some of this, as in all archae-
ology, was surmise, but a great
many of Mr. Emery’s finds had
never before been duplicated and
have added greatly to archaeologi-
cal knowledge.

Mr. Emery began by describing

. the structure of the tombs, or

mastabas . The visible part. is
merely a substructure in most
cases, and serves as a marker for
the rooms beneath. *
Of these rooms, the main one is
of course the burial chamber; next
to this are side chambers contain-
ing the dead person’s most prec-

ious possessions, other rooms with |

‘furniture, and a ‘subterranean
passage leading out of the tomb.

Mr. Emery discovered that thesé
tombs were often surrounded by
modeled bulls’ heads with real
horns; one mastaba was found |
decorated with over three hundred
of these.



es, and fields, all of which provide
much-needed information on Egypt-
ian life and customs.
Excavating is far from dull; Mr.
Emery described finding several
rather puzzling tombs. In. one of
these was the body of a man with

no head—in its place were the re- |

mains of a leather bag containing
gaming pieces. There was no clue
as to what had_ happened.

Mr. Emery spoke mainly on tomb
3035, which he had recently been
working on. This particular one
contained sixty-two slaves, each |
lying in a separate grave with of-!
ferings around him.

and it is probable that they died
by poison.

On the east side of each coffin a

meal was laid out, presumably the
first the deceased ate in the next:
world. By one tomb, that of a

noblewoman, was laid out .a per-

fectly preserved meal. There were
dishes containing squp, fruit, kid-
neys, quail, fish, pigean stew, ribs
of beef, and fruit. _
It was discovered,

had probably not had a full meal
in years, for she was paralyzed,
and apparently could only have
taken liquids, and that with great
‘difficulty.

Mr. Emery has published his

By Leal Shanks, ’56

Once every four years the tables
turn. Professors cut classes. Black
bags suddenly appear under their
|blood shot eyes. Assignments go
uncorrected. The only excuse pro-
fessors can offer to indignant stu-
‘dents is, “I was up late rehearsing
for Faculty Show.”

Actually Faculty Show has been
under. way since January...Unlike
other years, students, fearing that
‘the professors were reluctant to
‘display their dramatic talents, pe-
| titioned for the 1955 show.

Like most creations Faculty
Show was born out of chaos—a
faculty meeting. At this informal
gathering of those interested, a
committee was elected to organize
‘and plan the production.

The committee’s first task was
to give their handiwork a title and
theme. From approximately 3,000
suggestions, Profs in the Pudding
was finally selected for this year’s
production. Although the theme is
a deep secret, it has been disclosed



vidual revues with the unknown
theme a framework for each act.

Having agreed upon a title and
theme, the committee sent out
questionnaires to faculty members,
their husbands and wives asking
what phase of the show they were
interested in working on. ‘From
the replies the head committee or-

music, costuming, make-up, pub-
licity, scripts, acting and staging.

The first group to start working
was the script committee. Each
member composed his own — skit
which he later submitted to the
head committee. From the various
acts submitted, the head committee
chose the best twelve to fourteen.

The writer whose scene has been
accepted automatically becomes
the .director and producer of his
act. He is responsible for’ finding
and casting actors and actresses,
for conducting the rehearsals and
for supervising back-stage man-
agement.

With these details set, the head

ie Of Deep nee Shrouds Theme

committee organizes the official
program. They must allot time for
curtain changes, intermission and
scenery changes.. “The show is
more like’a circus than'a theatre,”
remarked one professor. “A per-
former must have time to get from
his trapeze to his horse.”

At first each group rehearses
separately, meeting in members’
homes. During this period, two
representatives from the head com-
mittee attend a rehearsal to check
on. the act’s progress. Corrections



that the show is a series of indi-

ganized smaller groups to handle

,and additions are made at this
'time. During the week of March

13, rehearsals will be’ held in Good-

hart, with full dress rehearsals on
Thursday and Friday nights. No
one other ‘than show members will
be admitted to rehearsals.

Three Hours Worth

The committee has announced
that the show will last approxi-
mately three hours. The program
will include’scenes both behind and
in front of the curtain. “Various
instrumental and .vocal selections
have been atrenged to satisfy all
musical tastes.”

Instead of suctioninn posters
during intermission time, the fac-
ulty has planned a surprise, How-

the lobby and bids for their pur-
chase will be received there.

Members: of the 1955 Faculty
Show Committee’ are: Miss Mabel
Lang, Mr. Arthur Dudden, Miss
Carol Biba, Mr. George Zimmer-
man, Mr. Fritz Janschka, Mr.
Hugues Leblanc, Mr. Joseph
Sloane, Miss Mary Gardiner, Mr.
Eugene Schneider and Mrs. Ed-
ward Watson.



Mayor Joseph Clark of Phil-
adelphia will speak on Wednes-
day, March 16, in the Deanery
at 8:15. His topic will be “Wel-
fare Problems in the City of
Philadelphia”, Mayor Clark was
originally scheduled to speak
on March 2, but cancelled his







talk because of illness.

A small but enthusiastic audi-
ence attended the choral concert
presented last Saturday night in
Goodhart Hall by the Bryn Mawr
Chorus and the Lehigh Ufifversity
Glee Club. The program of works
by Katherine Danforth Fisher,
Schubert, and Mozart provided a
great deal of interest and variety.

The performance of “The Lamp
on the Stream”, a cantata written
especially for the
Chorus by Mrs. Fisher, was rather
disappointing. The work itself,
~based--on-the-episodes-of-« -wome
'an‘s life, was very pleasing. Al-'
though there were few contrasts
and little variety, the music suit-
ed the mood and meaning of the
words very well. Probably because
of a lack of sufficient rehearsal
time, the chorus was often weak
and hesitant, with a lack of tonal
depth. : However, the voices ‘blend-
ed well and the diction was very
good. The “Maturity” episode was
especially well sung, with strength
and rhythm.

Performance Of Mozart F Major Mass
Provides Successful Finale For Concert

The group of four Schubert
songs, sung by the Lehigh Glee
Club, under the direction: of. Rob-
‘ert Cutler, provided a great con-
trast in feeling to the preceding
work.. The songs were performed
with the proper vigor and reliev-
ing contrast within the selections.
The members of the Glee Club
‘worked well together, with good
‘rhythm and blend. They demon-

|Strated the ability to express sev-

eral moods equally , effectively. _
A highlight of the evening was



the Mozart Mass in F Major, per-
formed by the combined choruses,
directed: ‘by Mr; Goodale. The larg=
er group was able to overcome to
a degree the bad effects of Good-
hart’s acoustical properties. The
Mass was sung with strength and
freedom. The choruses sang with
assurance and expressive feeling.

There were some weak spots, often

with the small groups, but the Mo-

zart. work proved to be a wholly —

satisfying finale to the evening.

Praise is also due the accompan-
ists for helping to make the per-
formance a success,

that the campus elections are ending the terms of major cam-

Chapel Committee seems most deserving of notice. This

. dents has assumed, under Sara Winstead’s leadership, an im-

speakers, interesting midweek programs have been planned.

True, the hours from 12:30 to
2:00 are not totally “pernicious”, |
and if two girls can be out. until
12:30, why not until one or two.
Why pick 12:30 as the fatal hour?

It is, however, debatablé whether
two girls, unescorted, are safe in
many parts of Philadelphia even

at 10:30, or for that matter, in.

Bryn Mawr. We know that the
cases where unescorted girls do
actually run into danger are rare.
But doesn’t the very real possibil-
ity, which does exist in fact, of
even ome or two incidents a year,
present sufficient reason for dis-
couraging unescorted girls ‘from
being out late at night?

The “escorted” distinction
may not be meaningful, when it
happens to mean a non-res or oth-
er friend our own age from out-
side the college. Most often, how-
ever, “escorted” does. imply..a car,

If we extend these risks: and
wipe out the whole “escorted”
question, aren’t we forgetting the
reason for the rule in the first
place—not to be found, perhaps, on
the dewy heights of the “revolt
against tradition”, but in:the quite
“mature” belief that the intelli-
gence and responsibility of the stu-
dent body are not the only factors
to be admitted in setting a 12:30
limit. . 5
Whether or not we should define
“escorted” more strictly is another
question, but the direction which
it takes has more reasonable foun-
dation than abandoning the dis-
tinction completely.

Merger

Common Room, March 7—“Un-
less some kind of major catastro-
phe takes place’. . . a merger will
occur,” stated Mrs. Maxine Wool-
ston at Current Events in her dis-
cussion of the plans of the AFL

and the CIO to merge on a na-.

tional level.

While merger plans have passed
the executive committees of both
organizations, they must be ap-

;proved by conventions to be held
‘this fall. However, Mrs. Woolston

believes, local enthusiasm is great
enough to guarantee convention
passage.

A merger was less difficult be-
cause of the slight differences be-
tween the two organizations. Each
practices a “business unionism,”
under which wage rates are more
important than political philoso-
phy. The first public step toward
the merger occurred in June, 1953,
when the CIO and AFL signed a
“no raiding” agreement. On Feb-
ruary 9,°1955, the committees on
the merger in both organizations
agreed upon a plan of confedera-
tion to present to the CIO and AFL
executive committees and .convén-
tions.

Principles of Merger

In its present state, the merger
consists of five main principles:

1) Each of the 144 member un-
ions of the AFL and CIO will re-
tain their present automony and
independence. They will. undergo
no constitutiona] changes.

2) Following present patterns,
the national level of the combina-
tion will act mainly in an advisory,
not in a controlling, capacity.

8) Both craft and industrial un-
ions will be allowed.

4) No discrimination on _ the
grounds of race, religion or sex.

5) Protection against such cor-
rupt influences as communistic
agents, other forces tending to
“yndermine democracy” and rack-

eteering.
However, complications have
arisen. One is presented by Mi-

chael Quill, dynamic leader of the
CIO’s. transport union, who ques-
tioned the alliance on ‘the grounds
that there was no assurance that
discrimination would not exist in
practice and that racketeering
would be outlawed.

However, Quill has been dis-
missed as either a publicity seeker,
a young leader following the ora-
troical style of older labor leaders
or apprehensive that he would not
be granted a seat on the alliance’s
executive board.

Complications

John L. Lewis, the Railroad
Brotherhood, the politically vital
building trades with their 2,000,000
unionists, General Motors bargain-
ing which will begin in June, the
dominant’ executive position of the
AFL, and composition of the Ex-
ecutive Council, present other com-
plications.

The merger -will probably influ- |

ence the sphere of labor in. politics,
collective bargaining, discrimina-

Sophs Win “Best show” / Award
‘For Class Night "Dirty Business”

By Epsey Cooke, °5

Haverford’s’ annual Class Night
on ‘March 4 produced shows which
were of a better quality in general
than any seen for several years.
The “Best Show” award went. to
the sophomores, breaking a long
and almost traditional, chain of
junior wins, and the seniors receiv-
ed honorable mention.

The “Best Actor” award was
shared by Binny Haviland and Bill
Moss, both sophomores. Binny’s
award, given for his’ ‘ excellent
“Making the Bed” dance, was well
deserved as theydance.had the
proper amounts | $F etace and hu-
mor, and apparently appropriately
expressed the sentiments of many
Haverford men.

We feel, however, that. the sec-
ond award might have gone more
appropriately to either Tony Bing,
who stole the sheet, or to Larry
Hartman, the freshmen’s Hamlet.
Bill Moss spoke well when he stood
up.in meeting, but the part did not
seem important enough to merit
the award.

The sophomore sad:
Business,” was a take-off on the
_Haverford custom of providing
“sheets too short for the beds. Mrs.
Mays, the dispenser of sheets, was
ably portrayed by Mike Donham.

The scene in meeting, at which
Tony Bing'confessed that it was
he who stole the sheet, was most
amusing and quite well done.

Likewise, the scene in which
Tony Bing sang “The Steel Ball
Blues” was very effective with its
Guys and Dolls atmosphere.

Senior Show

The senior show, “The Eastern-
er,” is noteworthy for its elaborate

and effective saloon setting, which|

probably did much to win the hon-
orable mention. Doc Blanchard, the
Easterner who had come to Lode-
stone to find the boundaries of his
father’s claim, carried off his part
very well, giving it the air appro-
priate to an “inexperienced” green-
horn, Ted Bledsoe’s performance
as the saloon singer proved that it
is just as hard for men to portray
girls as for girls to portray men.
The other characters were no more
than adequate. The entire extrava-
ganza effect was Rapenenie®, how-
* ever.

In “Monkey Business,” the celi-
bate. Haverford juniors seemed un-
able to resist a parody on “the
nunnery on the other hill,” as the
monks walked in swinging hastily

Bennett To Talk
On Greek Script

An ancient script, Linear B, will



be the topic for discussion March |
21 when Emmett L. Bennett, Jr.,!

Assistant Professor of Classics at
Yale, will speak at Bryn Mawr.

Linear B was first found by Sir
Arthur Evans in the ruins of Knos-
sos, Crete, where nearly two thou-
sand clay tablets written in ‘the
script were uncovered. Linear B
displaced Linear A in Knossos
about 1450 B.C.; the tablets which
have now come to light were baked
in a destructive fire about 1400 B.C.

Although the difficulties in deci-
phering the script are innumerable,

Michael. Ventris has completed
most of the work. Mr. Bennett un-
dertook the job of editing the tab-
lets in Athens.

Linear B has now been shown to
be the Greek language at a stage
700 years older than the earliest
classical Greek. - The tablets, to-
gether with several other sets in
the same script, have yielded much
useful information concerning the
Mycenaean civilization, identified
by some people with the reser of
- Homeric Epics.



“Dirty







borrowed lanterns and chanting
“Veritatem Dilexi.”

Abbot Mike Smith, though quite |
nervous, played his’ part convinc-

ingly, as did Jerry Innes as Broth- |

er Hutch. The latter part was a
take-off on Robert Hutchinson, who
spoke at commencement last year
and declared that Haverford was
too idyllic.

The plot, if there was one, was
quite simple and obscure. The
song,, “The Committee Method,”
was clever, though, and one must
give the monks credit for being
able to bob in unison.

“Joe Hamlet,” the freshman
show, was highlighted by the per-
formance of Larry Hartman, the
illegitimate son of a psychiatrist,
who spoke only in iambic penta-'|
meter. His lines were clever and
delivered in an appropriately dra-
matic manner,

Larry Gneist appeared as Ophe-
lia, sporting a Brooklyn accent and
flapper costume, and acted quite
effectively. As a whole, however,
the show tended to drag, as the
dialogue was not particularly in-
spired nor the actors overly tal-
ented.

Kick Chorus

Apparently after hearing so
much about the Bryn Mawr kick
choruses, the freshmen decided
‘that it might be a nice tradition to
start at Haverford. Consequently
a kilted kick chorus appeared and
went through an awkward and in-
ept routine. It is our opinion that
brawny legs and kick choruses do
not mix.

To complete the evening’s enter-
tainment, the faculty presented a
show in which various faculty
members did take-offs on each oth-
er. The setting was a Zen mon-
astery and the faculty finally came
to the conclusion that they would
found a college without students.
President Gilbert White gave an
excellent and much-appreciated
performance.

'T heatre’ Presents
Shavian Comedy

especially contributed by
Linda Levitt, °57



Almost all of us are familiar
with the story of Bernard Shaw’s
comedy Arms and. the Man. Per-
‘haps we saw a college or high
school theatre group perform it,
or were entertained by a road com-
| pany version of its musical coun-
Kees gs: The Chocolate Soldier. For

those who are not acquainted with
the tale of Captain Bluntschli and
Raina, there is mo doubt that a
‘delightful evening is in store.

Arms and the Man will be pre-
sented on the evenings of March
11 and 12 at Goodhart. The tickets, |
which are $.75 for students and
$1.25 for adults both evenings will
be on sale at the boxoffice on
Thursday, March 10, from 7 to 8,
and Friday, March 11, from 1:30
to 2:30.

After the Saturday night per-
formance, WBMC is sponsoring an
informal dance, “Through the
Looking Glass” in the Common
‘Room, Don’t forget to circle the
date on your calendar, and come to
see Arms and the Man.

WBMC Features
Whimsical Dance

The time has come, the Walrus
said, to talk of many things—not
that he can get a word in edgewise
around Bryn Mawr. Especially
when everyone is talking about
.WBMC’s dance, “Through the
Lookihg Glass,” Saturday, March
12, after Arms and the Man. Call
up the March Hare, Humpty
Dumpty, or Tweedledum and
Tweedledee and take them.to the
most unusual setting on our fair
campus — Alice’s Looking Glass
World. Escape! First see the Col-
lege Theatre production of Arms
and the Man and then “Through
the Looking Glass,” located imag-
inatively in the Common Room.
Music will be provided by the Hav-
erford Cats (Cheshire, that is),
with refreshments stolen by the

|



| daughter-in-law of the family and





Knave of Hearts. Tickets are $1.25.

Reviewers Laud. Staging, Acting
In Williams’ Portrayal of South

by Ruth Rasch, °57
and Carol Hansen, °57

The struggie of characters for
life, and against the hyprocisy and!
mendacity which destroy it creates}
in Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a’
Hot Tin Roof a powerful and ex-|
cellent play. The emotions and in-
trigues of a rich Southern famliy,
assembled for the last birthday of’
their patriarch, is the scene for;
this struggle. ‘

Barbara Bel Geddes, as_ the
wife of an indifferent alcoholic, ap-:
pears almost alone in the first fifty:
minutes of the play. In a mono-
logue, interrupted at the end by
the other cast members she pre-
sents herself and the members of
the household. Miss Bel Geddes’
excellent portrayal of Margaret,
“the cat”, struggling for husband
and happiness stands out in a play
in which all the acting is of high
calibre.

Burl Ives, the “Big - Daddy”,
blusteringly fights against the dy-
ing of. life, at first unknowingly
and. then with full knowledge of

star. *



his impending death. Mr. Ives, in

his first straight dramatic role, |

perfectly creates the power and
greatness of the man. Contempt
for hypocrisy is intermixed in the
character of this strong man, with
an impassioned desire for life.
With extraordinary consistency of
character he is able to be a lusty
monarch and a tesigned, dying
man.

The play itself is completely
continuous in action, taking place
in the bedroom of the sexually es-
tranged couple, Margaret, and her
husbapét; Brick, played by Ben
Gazzara, ‘Between them stands
Brick’s self-deception and condem-
nation of his wife. Margaret’s
suspicion of homosexual behavior
between her husband and his now
dead friend, Skipper, is the cause’
of this condemnation.

Im some ethereal way the story
revolves about Brick, the prodigal
son. He says very little, yet dom-

| nates: the scene more than either
‘Silent, constantly drinkin
and limping around on a crutch\

with a broken ankle, he wanders ~

through the play as a desultory
figure, untethered and yet noble.
Ben Gazzara portrays this role
superbly, whether talking or just
moving.

_ Treating . in a complementary
Way these two themes of homo-

{sexuality and avaricousness the

play develops into a discussion of
honesty in life in general. The
entire first act moves slowly; being -
dominated by Barbara Bel Geddes
it has the effect of an over-extend-
ed prologue. During the mono-
logue the transitions from one
mood to another are sometimes
strained. The various facets of her
character as developed here are
neither united nor _ sustained
throughout the play. From this
comparatively weak beginning, the
play moves strongly to its climax,
in the excellent second and third
parts.

Interesting in both their like-
nesses and differences are the re-
lationships of the two sons and
the father to their wives. To Brick,
Margaret is a constant reminder,
if not the cause of his ruined re-
‘Big
Daddy” considers “Big Mama”
nothing more than a loud nuisance.
She is excellently portrayed by
Pauline Hahn, who catches the
loudness, the love, and the strength
in the character. The only desir-
able quality of Mae, wife of the
“self-sacrificing” and jealous older
brother, is her seemingly unlimited
ability to produce children.

An outstanding feature of the
show is the set design. On one
platform is the bedroom of a large
mansion where nearly all the ac-

At the March 2 meeting of
the Legislature it was voted to
make a change in the League
Constitution regarding the pol-
icy of the Soda Fountain. With
the revision, the Constitution
now says that $500 will be giv-
en each year to the Bryn Mawr
Summer Camp, $200 will be
given to the incoming manag-
ers, and any additional funds
will be divided among the man-
agers. Previously, 30% of the
money made had gone to the
managers, $200 had been left
for the incoming managers, and
the rest had gone to the Sum-
mer Camp.

Berthoff To Appear
In Television Series
“The slogan “Movies are better







than ever,” was Hollywood’s an-
swer to TV. Bryn Mawr’s answer -
is a series of TV broadcasts given |
weekly by Warner Berthoff. He will

appear on WFIL on Mondays at
11:35 a.m., beginning March 28.

Mr. Berthoff’s theme will be
“One Hundred Years Ago in Amer-
ican Literature” in honor of the
Whitman Centennial. Thoreau,
Hawthorne, Melville, Emerson and
some of the humorous writers of
the day will also be discussed, part-
ly on the basis of personal rela-
tions between. the writers.

A first edition of Leaves of
Grass heads the list of props for

the program. The book is “more |

than just an object of curiosity’.
because the format is part of its
meaning. Whitman, who was a

‘printer by-trade,-set-and bound the _

book himself.

Bearded portraits and letters
written by the authors will also

add atmosphere. Mr. Berthoff
hopes that after “hearing the
names of books . . . people will go

back and read them.”

Bryn Mawr, Barnard, NJC, Vassar Meet For Sports Day;
Vassar Wins Day; BMC Triumphs In Badminton Doubles

“Two station wagons-ful of Bryn
Mawrters departed for Barnard
College’s Sports Day on Saturday,
March 5. Sponsored by Barnard’s
Athletic Association, the event pro-
vided fun and competition for bas-
ketball, swimming and badminton
teams from Bryn Mawr, Barnard,
New Jersey College for Women
and Vassar.

Sports Day was not meant to be
an intercollegiate meet in the usual
sense, since all of the colleges par-
ticipating (with the exception of
Bryn Mawr) do not have varsity
sports or teams. Therefore, Bryn
Mawr did not send its regular
teams. The emphasis was on fun
and a good time, and the greater
part of the Bryn Mawr teams was
composed of people who said they
would like to go, whether they
were skilled or not.

_ The basketball team had no var-
sity members: whatsoever on it.
Perhaps this was a ‘bit evident,
since Bryn Mawr lost the first
game (consisting only of 2 quar-
ters) to Vassar 38-11, and then



vas.topped by New Jersey College
5-21 in a full game.

An amusing incident occurred
vhen one of the Bryn Mawr Col-
ege guards was taken out of the
zame for fouls. Since Bryn Mawr
aad brought: exactly 6 players and
ao substitutes, a hasty recruiting
from the badminton team took
glace, and Elizabeth Thomas ven-
cured forth from the sidelines to
che: basketball court. Luckily, her
dadminton match had ended prior
«0 the basketball game and she
was able to help out. The mem-
bers of the basketball team were
Rhoda ~ Becker, Malinda Getty,
Charlotte Graves, Anna Kisselgoff,
Mary Tank and Joelle Wolfson. -.In
che other games, Barnard defeated
New Jersey College 34-21, and
then, in the playoff, lost to Vassar
68-67.

In the badminton tournament,



Barbie Bornemann_ and_ Elizabeth.
Thomas, playing doubles, defeated

Vassar 15-9, 15-3, and then went

on to win over Barnaid 15-9, 15-12.

5-11, 11-5. Vassar won over Bar-
nard in the first round, and also
defeated Bryn Mawr in the next
vhe, 11-4, 11-5.

In the swimming, Ruth Young-
dahl came in first. in the crawl, and
Carol Hopkins came in second in
the back stroke. In the medley,
B.M.C. came in second with swim-
mers Mary Skinner, Carol Hopkins
and Ruth Youngdahl. Pat Hill and
Roxy Spiller participated in a
water ballet demonstration. The
final‘ swim score showed Barnard
first with 8% points, Bryn Mawr
second with 7 points, Vassar third
with three,
place wit 2% points.

In the fina] analysis, the winner
of Sports Day turned out to be
Vassar College, whose teams were
presented with a Barnard Sports

Day Certificate. Barnard hopes to.

make. this first Sports Day an-an-
nual event.

that single girls will come. Ad-
mission is seventy-five cents per
person, or one dollar per couple.

The theme of the decoration is
“In a Mountain Greenery”’—after
all, spring is only three days later.

So-bring your date after Arms and

Effects Of Religion

Common Room, March 8.—Spon-
sored by the Chapel Committee,
Mr. Hubbard spoke on the relation
of religion, “the service in and be-
lief in God,” to economics, the
study of how unlimited wants are
satisfied by limited means.

Because “what we want is really
a reflection of what we thoose to
try to st ive for,” this relation
comes about in three ways. The
moral teachings of Judeo-Christian
philosophy may serve to promote
more honesty in business dealings:

This is a help to both the con-)
sumer and the economist for it is
wasteful and time consuming to



| have to examine products for ad-

vertised quality. This is not to
say that all business is carried on
according to high ethical princi-
ples, but itis one area in which
this relationship may be seen.

Another effect of religion on
econgmics which is not very close
to the modern economy is . the
wasteful misuse ‘of. materials. Ex-
amples of this are the tremendous
amount of labor used in the build-
ing of the pyramids, the building
of the large cathedrals and the
American Indian custom of bury-
ing tools with the dead. The third
way in which the _ relationship
comes about is that the influencing
what we want religion impinges on
the way in which income is spent.

Before economics came to be rec-
ognized as a science through the
work of Adam Smith in 1776, the

On Economics

church set up certain principles in
reguiation of trade such as “just
price” pe ban on usury. This
was at a time during which econo-
mies were mainly self-sufficient
and trade was frgwned upon. These
principles served as a protection
for the unwary or distressed con-
sumer. Later, as scientists, how-
ever, economists felt it necessary
to leave moral considerations out
of their work. People’s wants were
used as data and were thought of

as rational, individual choices.

Money filled the need for a meas-
ure and they were thereby drawn
values which

can’t be measured in terms of

‘money. In the last twehty to twen-

ty-five years, a new division of the
