Bryn Mawr Introduces 169
New Students Welcomed to

‘‘Name Game,” French Oral, Hockey Try-Outs
Mark Hectic But Happy
Freshman Week

“A senior? I thought you were
a freshman! ... Oh-oh, I’ve miss-
ed my voice test... No, really, I
don’t hate my mother .. .” Com-
ments: heard during the first few
days of Freshman Week were typ-
ical of a new class at Bryn Mawr.
But in spite of the customary con-
fusion, the class of ’60 lived
through the period of Sept. 26-29,
and even enjoyed it.

The halls opened to the. incom-
ing class at 8 a.m. Thursday, with

_ the upperclassmen (amazingly):

dressed for breakfast. The fresh-

men.were rushed thrqugh introduc-.

tions, appointments, interviews and
tests until. their heads- were spin-
ning. Coffee in the halls, and
President McBride’s reception at
the Deanery for freshmen and
their parents provided welcome in-
terludes in the day’s activities.
The evening of the first day at
college brought the meeting with
members of the Self-Government
Association, at which president
Patty Ferguson explained the
ideals and methods of the organi-
zation.. Following meetings in the
halls with wardens and hall presi-
‘dents, members of the class of ’60
were entertained with the memora-



ble “name game” afd Bryn Mawr
songs. ;

Friday brought more tests and
appointments, and in the after-
noon, the first meeting of the
freshmen as a class. Explanation
of the many college traditions was
followed by the election of the first
temporary song-mistress.

The freshmen. were given their
first glimpse of their lovely light
blue gym suits Saturday, after the
French language examination... The
accent on sports continued, after a
brief pause for lunch, with hockey
try-outs. The efforts of the pros-
pective hockey players, as well as
the rest of the class, were reward-
ed at the soda fountain party.

Questions of how to sign out and
what to wear came to the fore as
the halls were overrun by the spe-
cial Haverford College “welcoming
committee.” The dance in the gym
and Radnor’s open house introduc-
ed freshmen to the Haverfordians
and to the joys of 2:30 permission.

With one day to go, it is agreed
that Freshman Week: has been fun,
if hectic. We hope the class of ’60
finds the whole year as vous
ing!

I can recall a sentence from the
“special. hints” section of my
freshman handbook, It read, “BMC

nically correct for the term “Ville”

of the town, the place where Ber-

Academic Year Starts
With Total of 800
On Campus
Bryn Mawr College expects an

enrollment of over 800 graduate
and undergraduate students for the

‘jcoming year, Katharine McBride,

President of the College, has an-
nounced.

The class of 1960 has arrived on
campus 169 strong, slightly larg-
er than the present sophomore
class. Graduate students include
fellows and scholars from the
United States, Canada, and several
European and Asiatic countries.

Many physical changes have
been made on the Bryn Mawr.cam-
pus. Taylor tower was refurbished
this summer with a new copper
sheathing. The tower ‘was dam-
aged during storms last spring.

Two new all-weather tennis
courts have been built on the lower
campus near the hockey field, and
a new filter system was installed
in the swimming pool in the gym-
nasium.

B. M.C. Students
Are Individualistic

By Eleanor Winsor

“At Bryn Mawr everyone is an
INDIVIDUAL.” First time you
make that statement, whether in
pride or in self-defense, you will
know that you have arrived. Be-
fore you are qualified to speak
smugly about individualism, how-
ever, you may need a bit of ex-
perience and experimentation. This
is a timely occasion for you to be-
gin to contemplate individualism,
even to the point where being an
individual is no longer individual-
istic.

A preview of your life in a
month or two will show you dress-
ed to meet each hour, each crisis
of existence, with true Bryn Mawr
spirit and a manner that is (dare
we say it?) individualistic.

The day begins with promise at
breakfast, where you may appear
clad in anything from a trench coat
with sneakers to a filmy lace-trim-
med negligee. Your hair will be
done in your own original style of
pin-curls, curlers or rags, and veil-
ed by a scarf, night-cap or turban,
Unfortunately, the real charm of
this costume is somewhat wasted,
for few eyes will be open to notice.
It’s a rare person who knows what
the girl next to her at breakfast
is wearing, what she herself is
ee or even what she is eat-
ing.

Black coffee will restore you to

est in your morning-class-and-
gym-costume. This classic, which
‘will outlive even the knee-sock and
man’s shirt, is simple, consisting
of a blouse topped by a jumper
style tunic and dressed up by a
baggy skirt (preferably ray a vio-
lently contrasting color). When

movement in gym, many variations
of the little tunic appedr, ranging
from a short, flared, ballet effect,

to a floppy, knee-length, Bermuda
style.

Welcome fee

And another welcome, this time from the News. ‘We're
very glad to have you around—and not merely because you’re
the biggest news. to hit the campus since the Class of ’59
arrived, a year ago! :

At..Bryn..Mawr,.it is neither trite..nor.. untrue to. say
that you are important. Your: ideas, your enthusiasms, your
personality are not lost in the collegiate scramble, perhaps



to make their first timid appearance in the middle of. your,

junior year. As a freshman, you can organize a’ new. club
under the Alliance; you can make a point in class that ‘will
lead the professor into the most interesting discussion of the
semester; you can (and will) take part in a Freshman Show
that can rival anything on Broadway. In these fields and in
many others you are very important to the collége conimun-'
ity. Bryn Mawr is justifiably proud of its wa i + to a large
extent its future depends on you.

But if you are important to Bryn Mawr, you will find
that Bryn Mawr is very important to you. Bryn Mawr offers
you, in a few well trimmed acres, a greater concentration of
interesting people, ideas and opportunities than you will
probably ever find again in your life. Take advantage of them!
We cannot say, take one-third academic, one-third extracur-
ricular, and one-third social, stir and swallow for a college
education. Who can separate one from another? A course
you really enjoy can be more. “fun” than a dance, a gathering
of friends at tea can teach you more than tomorrow’s psych
assignment. We can only say, open up your eyes and your
heart and your mind and look around. Make some friends
that aren’t just like the girls back home. Take a.course that
doesn’t dovetail neatly into your major subect. The right
—and what a very essential and rewarding right—to be an
“individual” doesn’t mean the right to be an unchanging ime,
dividual. The girl who ts-at Christmas that. “college
hasn’t changed me at all” ought to sit down. and consider why
she came to college in the first place.

We’re not going to end up by saying, “And above all,

have a good time.” How can you help it, when Bryn Mawr
offers you step singing, and such peculiar rooms to decorate,
and gallons of punch, and Haverford? “de

What's ahd You have to rush to another tea? Have

fun!

To all of the ex-newspaper edit-

especially hearty welcome! We
are very much interested in you,
too, for new faces and new ideas

stantly changing college commun-

Letter From

French Morocco

. By Darrall Kidd, 58
Fes; French Morocco

The French part of Morocco,
which for the last. months has been
an area of world tension, seems
peaceful, superficially. Five times
a day the Measians come out--on
the minarets and call down into
the medina that it is time to pray.
Camels amble leisurely through the
narrow, lattice-roofed streets, put-
ting their padded feet carefully on

jthe cobblestones. |... .

However, through this scene of
traditional Arab life, unchanged
since the time of Christ, walks the
French soldier. At night, as the
Measians call for evening prayer,
French bugles also echo through
the city. Every day incidents oc-
cur between ‘the two ‘groups,
French and Arab, and the breech
grows wider.

There are several disturbing ele-
ments in the situation in Morocco,
and more especially in Fez. Moroc-
co, until a short while ago, was
controlled by, and divided between,
Spain and France. Morocco is now
nominally independent, but French
and Spanish troops still remain.

The present appears to he the
moment for Arab leaders through-
out. the world . to
strength, and everywhere they are
taking dramatic stands on policy.
Often” these “stands are’ rash, or
merely an attempt to rally support
from the nationalism which is cer-
tainly taking hold in the Arab
world.

Clash Threatens

Here in Morocco, the Spanish
are comparatively welcome, for
they work well with the Arabs;
and there exists a real understand-
ing between them. Not so the
French. The same Arab leaders
who successfully pressured for in-
dependence now want the complete
withdrawal: of all French troops.
At the same time the French are
spending close to one and a half
million dollars daily in this part
of the world. With two such pow-
ers opposing each other, a crisis
of serious proportions would seem
to be inevitable.

A few days ago the nationalist
leader who had been exiled by the
French returned to North Africa,
He opposes the. Sultan and the
more conservative elements. The
Arabs in Fez have turned strange-
ly cool to Europeans and the
streets are gaudy with the green
star on a red background, which
is the flag of Morocco. Even the
beggars now stay away from all
Europeans and stop their chant

of the Nationalist leader are being
sold on the streets, and at night
there are large Arab Political
meetings.

Attitude Clarified

What clarifies the attitude of the
Arab here, and gives real force to
the suspicion of unrest and rebel-
lion, is the ever-present shadow of
Nasser. Beside a picture of the
Sultan of Morocco, there is inevit-
ably a picture of Nasser, and his
name also appears on the sides of
trains and mud huts. Most of the
talk in the Arab section is of
Egypt's strong man. His face is
in store windows, and even from a
‘throng of brightly dressed mar-
riage attendants, a poster ‘was
‘thrust.into our gr group of watching
Europeans. ra
Chances that the present prob-
lem in North Africa may be solved
peacefully seem rather dim. The
Arab world is learning that it com-
mands a substantial force in the
world arena. Its assets are oil,
geographic position, and, most im-
portant, a dedicated population
that is willing to follow, and that
believes in the rising star of si
Arab world.

Organization Pre

League

By Anita Kaplan
President of League
The Bryn Mawr League is the
organization which sponsors and
coordinates the social service ac-
tivities in which the Bryn Mawr

dual program presented, as the
ague incorporates speakers, as
well as activities, into its schedule.

on several topics, including various

and the requirements and training
necessary for social workers in the
international field.

In our activity programs, -we
have ten separate groups, doing
various types of volunteer work.
The main prerequisite for most of
these groups is an “interest.”
Therefore, on Wednesday after-
noon, Oct. 10, in the Common
Room, at 4:30 p.m., the Bryn Mawr
League and the Alliance for Politi-
cal Affairs will sponsor a tea. At
this time we will be glad to an-
swer questions concerning our ac-
tivities, and take suggestions for
new projects.

At the present time the. League
has people working with the Girl
Scouts, helning at the Bryn Mawr

camps in Philadelphia. There are
groups doing jobs on the Bryn
Mawr Summer Camp, such as
those who help at the Soda Foun-
tain, and who give a portion of
their profits to the Camp, or the
girls who work on the publicity
committee.

There is an activity to interest
everyone, but far more important
is the fact that the League’s ac-
tivities offer the individual a
chance for “constructive giving”
with her efforts reaching to aid
the entire community. We do hope
you will all become members of



the community very soon.



Alliance

By Charlotte Graves
President of Alliance

The Republicans’ campaign
theme for the fall is “peace and
prosperity”; the Democrats prom-
ise “the new America,” if they are
elected. By organizing discussion
of questions such as this, the Al-
liance for Political Affairs hopes
to offer throughout the year a
chance for each student to partici-
pate in a group which she finds in-
teresting. ~

The Alliance board, consisting of
elected hall representatives and
club charimen, serves as a coordi-
nating body for the politically-ori-
ented organizations, each of which
welcomes unlimited membership.
For our “fall campaign” we urge
the students to voice their opinions
through such groups as the Young
Democrats and the Young Repub«
licans. Included in this group are
also such clubs as the Internation-
al Relations. Club, Intercollegiate
Conference on Government, and
the Debate Club, all of which are
stressing the Alliance theme of
“participation” for the school year.

Another function of the Alliance
includes presenting speakers to the
campus. As we go. to press, the

‘president of Alliatice is awaiting

answers to three invitations, two
of which have been extended for
October. To find out about visit-
ing speakers, each student should
check the Alliance bulletin board
in Taylor Hall, from time to time,
and watch for information in the
College News.

We would like to encourage
those of you who are interested in
any phase of political activity to
attend the Alliance tea, on Wednes-
day, Oct. 10, at 4:30 p.m. in the
Common Room. Come to learn how
you can work with the group of

your choice.

Chapel

By Sandra Grant
President of Chapel Committee
The inter-faith Chapel Commit-
tee is responsible for the religious
activities on the campus. Our pur-
pose is to inspire and stimulate
the student with opportunities
expand into new dimensions of re-
ligious thinking to keep pace with
her intellectual growth in other
areas. We hope to increase her
awareness of the religions of oth-
ersand encourage her to think
deeply about her own beliefs.

The speakers the Committee in-
vites for the 7:30 p.m. Sunday
evening ‘Chapel are usually men
outstanding in spiritual and intel-
lectual achievement. The service
is followed by a discussion period
with the speaker and a faculty
member.

Committee members are students

ities for religion both in them-
selves and in others. This‘year we
plan to elect one official represent-
ative from each hall, and welcome
other members on a voluntary ba-
sis.
On Tuesdays at 5:00 the Com-
mittee holds open business meet-
ings. But very often instead of a
meeting there is a speaker on some
religion-related topic. Watch espe-
cially for the “Religion and Edu-
cation” series and the series on
Eastern religions this year!
Chapel Speaker

As its first speaker of the year
the Chapel Committee is present-
ing the Rev.. Arthur Lee Kinsolv-
ing, a man who has spent most of
his years in the ministry, serv-
ing college and university students.
A former Rhodes Scholar, he has
been Rector of Episcopal Churches
in Amherst, Boston, Princeton, and
New York. He is a member of
the Board of the Student Christian
Movement in the state of New
York, a trustee of the Cathedral
of St. John the Divine in New
York, chairman of the Episcopal
Church’s National Commission on
College Work, and director of the
Planned Parenthood Federation of
America, among many other im-
portant positions.

Dr. Kinsolving is now Rector of
St. James’ Church in New York

The Athletic Association hopes
to have a very active and reward-
img year—not only in the field of
sports, on the varsity, class, and
inter-hall levels —but also in the
‘area of recreation and entertain-
ment for the entire campus.

Three movies are planned for
this semester, as well as a gala
Square Dance the Friday evening
(October 19) of the Junior Week-
end. The first of these movies,
Red Shoes, on Monday evening will
end the Freshman Week festivities.
A National Bridge Tournament, as
well as Outing Club, Dance Club,

Undergrad

by Jane White
President of Undergrad
The Undergraduate Association
is the campus organization which
represents the undergraduate body
in matters which are of common

to}interest to the administration, fac-

ulty, and students, Undergrad
provides the channel through which
suggestions and complaints about
college life can be disctissed and
carried out, and coordinates the
various campus _ activities.

‘All traditions and college social
events are Undergrad’s concern;
committee heads are appointed by
this organization; clubs _ receive
their charters from it. A wide va-
riety of groups are under the aus-
pices of Undergrad, such as the
Curriculum, Library, and Fresh-
man Week Committees, the Chorus,
Language and Philosophy Clubs.

All Undergrad’s decisions affect
each Bryn Mawr student;-—It-is
impossible, however, for the as-
sociation to- function effectively
unless the students take an interest
in their own organization.s>Like-
wise, Undergrad must be keenly
aware of the students’ opinions in
order to successfully fulfill its pur-
pose.

Thé Undergrad Executive Board:
is composed of nine campus and
class elected members. Often in
the past only a few halls were rep-
resented on the Executive Board,
and there was obvious need for
more direct contact with student
opinion on a markedly hall-orient-
ed campus. Consequently, last
spring an Undergrad Advisory
Board was created, composed of a
representative from each hall. This
group will work closely with the
Executive Board, improving com-
munications between the students
and their representatives.

Any suggestions or criticisms
you may have about life at Bryn
Mawr should be taken to, your Un-
dergrad Hall Representative or to
one of the Undergrad Executive
Board members. We will welcome
your ideas and certainly need them
to guarantee a successful year.

Soda Fountain Is
Boon To Starving

Open Letter to Starving
Bryn Mawrters

It is October 2, 1956, the first
day of the 72nd academic year of
Bryn Mawr College. Eager for the
new year, ambitious to accomplish
all the things promised at the end
of last year, almost everyone rises
with the dawn to eat bréakfast.
- So what if the menu predicts
poached eggs on soggy toast? Ev-
eryone is still strong from happy
summer meals, and no complaints
are heard for several weeks. But
then-comes the fifth day that roast
leg of something or other is offer-
ed for dinner, and the next lunch-
eon prospect is hash and
gems. Then, it’s a different story.

Bryn Mawr students throughout
the ages have devised a simple
plan to beat the meals: they eat
out. There is no alternative...
either spend money or lose that
fifteen pounds that have been caus-
ing all those size nine dresses to
cling too tightly around the hips.

own Soda Fountain. And conven-
ience is not the only attraction the
Soda Fountain offers to desperate
girls. No other eatery offerssfevil
mint ice cream or thick, thick ba-
con, lettuce and tomato sandwiches.
At one o'clock, after walking into
the dining room, the cry “Let’s go
to the Soda Fountain,” is a most
delightful one.

For Year

Self-Government

By Patty Ferguson
President of Self-Gov

The theoretical value of Self
Government is obvious. If there
are those at Bryn Mawr who fa-
vor dictatorship or total disorgani-
zation, they have not, either from
a modicum of valour, or an abun-
dance of discretion, communicated
this opinion. The theory is - fine.
No one disputes the idea of a com-
munity directed toward an individ-
ual balance of freedom and respon-
sibility. The pitfall exists in the
undefined area between the theory
and actual practice, between “self”
and “government.” If, for in-
stance, a student comes in at 2:10
or forgets to wear a skirt to the
ville, chances are good that the sky
will not fall and Self Government
is well labeled Chicken Little if it
tries to maintain any imminent
danger to our heads. But too many
people on campus bog down at this
level of the organization. “They
see the importance of Self Gov-
ernment in the particular rules
without stepping back to look at
the area of the system which en-
genders them.

Ex Post Facto

Our. rules..represent previous de-
cisions by this student community
concerning areas of order neces-
sary to protect the opportunities
it offers. When a student first
comes to Bryn Mawr, she arbitrar-
ily commits herself to these rules
by partaking of the good effects
of education that. they make pos-
sible. So far our system is logical
and realistic. But the working
part, the honor code of our system,
is not as realistic. An honor sys-
tem is partially naive because it
implies faith. But so does an in-
stitution dedicated to education.
An honor system proposes the ne-
cessity of the rules as obvious in
their simplicity and essential qual-
ity. It relies on the ability of each
student to understand them in this
way. It links the compatible ra-
tionality of the system and the
student.

The element of reason is the
strongest force behind Self Gov-
ernment and the one which is of-
ten the least emphasized. In its
place insipid implications of moral
value creep in, surrounding each
rule with virtue by itself. An
evaluation of “good” and “bad” is
implied by a certain manner of
social pressure.

“Undeniable Integrity”

There is no “sin” involved in
coming in at 2:10. -No personal
moral judgment is implied in the
rules of Self Government. They
are rules of practicality which have
been found, over the years, to have
more advantages than disadvan-
tages for the working of the com-
munity. In this light one can see
an undeniable integrity in our sys-
tem which is not dodged by mak-
ing its officers into a “police force,”
or by being sophisticated, or by
rationalizing indifference because
“it isn’t doing anyone any harm.”

The understanding and contribu-
tion that gives the system a work-
ing value as well as a theoretical

breadth of perspective. I am told
that everyone welcomes an appeal
to their intellectual side. This year

most convenient, however, is~our+will—be—in.some ways an appeal, _

to make each student think out,
verbalize and defend an opinion of
our system of Self Government,
and by understanding it, to incor-
porate the rules into her life rather
than being distracted and worried
by their nuisance value. Self Gov-
ernment should create a harmony
rather than a discord between the
individual and the community by
making each student form her own
definition of their relationship.

good eating is the consideration
that the profits from the Soda
Fountain are almost the total sup-
port of Bryn Mawr Summer Camp,
one of the League’s most important
activities. Underprivileged children
of the Philadelphia area are given
an opportunity to enjoy a healthy
summer away from their home en-
vironments. To increase the profits,
girls work at the Fountain for no
compensation except a small
amount of food. A Soda Fountain
job is a pleasant way to meet fel-
low Bryn Mawrters while helping
less fortunate people.

For many reasons—self-preser-

is imperative for every Bryn Mawr

fashionable but also practical as a

If lab is dismissed at four you
have time for a quick change back
to skirt and blouse and a trip to
the ville. Here you may find some
little thing to supplement your
wardrobe, as a blouse you will nev-

what too large or a new oversized
skirt to complement your gym suit.

At dinner, although everyone
wears a skirt, it is easy to distin-
guish those who are on the verge
of a date from those-who-have
spent the day in the library and
are about to return. The surrepti-
tious pin curls alone would be evi-
dence without other differences
which we will leave you to ob-
serve. Yet it is wise to remember
while dressing for dinner that
someone’s date or great-grand-
mother or professor might appear
at-your~-table-

After dinner, no matter what
you plan to do, your day has be-
gun. Whether you finish dressing
for your date or pull off the skirt
that conceals your blue jeans, you
are ready for the longest uninter-
rupted part of the day.

catch you unawares, don’t neglect
to break in a pair of blue-jeans
for that pathetic look you will
want to achieve during exam week.

At that final hour, as at all oth-
ers, remember: we are all individ-
ual but some are more individual
than others.



Over cokes and donuts the Fresh-
men will confer with the repre-
sentatives from each major subject,

from them.
