Her theory is that the name is
connected with the imaginary Mr.
Bunbury in The Importance of Be-
ing Earnest who gives “an excuse
for doing things” by getting sick
at.convenient times.

_ Bumble’s predecessor in the Per-

dane named Humphrey who looked
just like him—except for the size.

nization About Racial Problem

-tending from Ben Mawr were

Mary Cahn, Virginia Gavian, Mar-
cia Katzman and Ellie Silverman.
Interest in the problem of jectal!
integration had been greatly stim-
ulated by the far-reaching Supreme
Court decision of last May, and
over 700 students were attracted
by the opportunity to take part in’
this National Youth Legislative’
Conference.

The participants were divided

cerned with the fields of education,
political and legislative aetion, civ-
il rights and international affairs.

was to formulate positive legislat-
ive resolutions for consideration by
the convention as a whole.

The committee work was coor-
dinated with speeches by Vice-
President Nixon, Representative
Diggs (the first Negro Congress-
man elected from the state of
Michigan) and other prominent
figures.

The great value of this confer-
ence, however, stemmed for us
from those personal contacts made
on an informal basis. Here thé
exchange of ideas among people of
varied backgrounds was most ‘re-
warding.

We were impressed with the
need for organized activity on the
part of the college community in
ameliorating the problems faced
by the Negro in American society.
We threfeore propose that an or-
ganization directed toward racial
problems in school-community life
be established at Bryn Mawr.

Such an activity, supported by
the League and Alliance, would
serve in an educational and socio-
political capacity to develop cam-
pus consciousness and to channel
the forces which it aroused _ to-
wards positive action. It is hoped
that the student body will support
and take part in the work of this
new organization, whose activities

into committees Which were con-'



are now being planned.

‘On Zen Buddhists

Elizabeth Gray Vining will speak
informally on Wednesday evening,
February 23, at 7:30 in the Com-
mon Room. Her subject will be
her experience with the Zen Bud-
dhists: "

Mrs. Vining is perhaps best
, known for her book, Windows for
the Crown Prince, which is based
on her experience as tutor to

| Crown Prince ‘Akihito during the

American occupation of Japan.

Mrs. Vining is a: member of the
Society of Friends, and during her
years in Japan she was invited to
share in the meditations of a group
of Zen Buddhist monks. This hon-
or, almost unprecedented for a
woman, was accorded her because
of her experience with the disci-
ples of the Friends’ Meeting.

An alumna of Bryn Mawr, Mrs.
Vining is a fthember of the, Religi-
ous Life Committee of the Board
of Trustees.

A safari took place in Merion
Hall at the open house after the
formal dance on Saturday night.
The mood was opened by the dec-
orations, which included an alliga-
tor and tropical flowers.

Entertainment consisted of a tap
dance by Joan Cholerton; a Charles-
ton. routine by Becky Rand, Joan
Cholerton’ and Judy Dillenberg;
and a community sing.

Doughnuts and hot coffee 'fur-

warming refreshments. Tam Birch-
