The Bryn Mawr League serves
to make the student aware of var-
ious problems which are imminent.
in society today and thereby fos-
ters social understanding In the



marrower sense, League is concern-
ed with social welfare, and in’
the broader sense it encompasses
the vast field of social awareness
and perception.

League’s activities fall into two
categories: those directly limited
to the college community (Maids
and Porters, United Service Fund)
and those which extend beyond the
boundaries of the campus (Em-
breyville, Sleighton Farms, week-
end work-camps). One of the main
jobs of the board is organization
and coordination of these activi-
ties,

The center of the organization
is the board, which in my opinion
should act as a cohesive and in-
formed receptor and disseminator
of ideas and activities. It is im-
perative that the hall reps relay
the substance of the meetings back
to the halls. .Perhaps-this could be

The primary function of League
as I see it is to stimulate interest
and understanding in problematical]
social conditions. This should be

tion in various facets of social
work. However worthwhile an en-
terprise this may be, and no one
can doubt its value, it only ac-
complishes a minor part of Lea-
gue’s functions. Many interested
in social problems are not able, or
willing to devote the time to such

It’s a great shame, I think, that
‘80 few people at Bryn Mawr really
take advantage of the stimulating
relaxation and fun that are -offer-
ed by athletics. Many tend to
laugh and shrug their shoulders at
the idea of A. A.) and never give
it a second thought after their
sophomore year. Granted:that per-
sonal tastes are a governing fac-
tor, I think that much of the apa-
thy towards sports is due to the
fact that people often close their
minds to them from the start of
their college career. (Of course,

The main purpose of the Ath-

reation and fun for the student
‘body. |[Most of the activities spon-
sored by this organization are set

aren’t quite good enough for var-
sity but are interested in sports.
I also thought that if there was

‘yenough interest that a ping-pong

tournament might be enjoyable
for many people. I think that there

already organized should get more
publicity. The games should be an-
nounced beforehand and the re-
sults afterward. This way anyone
interested in a sport can learn
about it, and maybe more people
would be attracted to athletics.

I would like to have. more peo-
ple become interested in the sports
that are now offered, and I would
like to broaden the scope of A. A.
to include any new sports that
have enough people interested in
them.

presidency feel that they must
state the purpose of League. I
think of the role of League, con-
ventionally defined as the volun-
teer social service organization on
campus, as flexible. The ideas of
Bryn (Mawr students and the
needs of contemporary society
should be taken into considera-
tion in formulating a program for
League. Through work projects
League provides an ~ opportunity
for students to see and learn about
institutions of society in opera-
tion as well as give aid, physical-
ly, financially, and spiritually, to
needy elements in the community.
Equally important is the recent
policy of providing information
through lectures and movies con-
cerning the problems of society
which we are not able to directly
aid, such as urbanization and ju-
venile delinquency.

As has been customary from
year to year, once again the can-
didates for the presidency of
League have been asked to define
its purpose. As coordinator of the
various volunteer social services
offered to the community by Bryn
Mawr students (ranging from
clothing and fund drives to work
in various kinds of hospitals and
weekend’ work camps in slum
areas), League is the organization
through which students May «ac-
tively channel their interests in
social work, thus becoming further
aware of the problems it deals with
and of both the difficulties and re-
wards it entails.

Because of the great number of
complex problems that. can be
handled by such an organization,
it has been and should continue be-
ing League’s policy to. be open to
and indeed to welcome suggestions

In outside activities as well as
in the classroom, the Bryn Mawr
student absorbs rather than pro-
duces, receives rather than gives.
The characteristic program pre-
sented by any student. onganiza-
tion is a lecture; the visitor or fac-
ulty member delivers his talk while
a ring of attentive students quiet-
ly take it all in. Nothing is re-
quired of the student: she listens,
smokes and/or ‘knits, asks a rare
question, and goes home.

Several organizations, however,
do require the individual to pro-
duce publicly. Strangely enough,
these activities almost all have to
do with the arts (though not nec-
essarily with Arts Council): Col-

by Arleen Beberman

Since Arts Council has been
elected to a major organization
(albeit with the reluctance of its
members) it now requires a for-
mulation of artistic policy. No
longer does it need to expand ac-
tivities such as concerts, poetry
readings, tickeb-agency, ete. but it
needs to pursue these activities
with a definite consideration of
artistic merit. Whether Arts
Council wants to be a catch-all or
humble subscriber to any presen-
tation vaguely artistic or revealing
and, in an omniverous atmosphere,
to present anything to the rest of
the college remains a matter for
discussion among its,members. As’
a member of Arts Council, I prefer
to consider it as a conscientious
| sponsor of worthy presentations.
