“Life” Ignored Bryn Mawr’s Livelier Aspects
Study Date Misrepresented
Too Few Candids eet,

by Barbara Broome and
Jana Varejs

Freshmen, you have been misled!
We admit that the Chicago Tribune
-rated our academic achievements
accurately, that the Times pub-
lished the engagements of our “80%
failures” faithfully, and that Life
had reason to call Bryn Mawr a
“tough training ground for wom-

-en’s ‘minds”’—but this is not the
_iwhole pictures In’ other “words,
Life did not seen “all!”
‘Now that you have signed and
sealed your fate for the next four
years in Dean Brqughton’s office,
let us enlighten you with a few
candid snapshots of Bryn .Mawr
which never caught the eye of
Life’s editors.
We fee] there was a decided lack
of action shots to emphasize the
fact that Bryn Mawr is a “tough
~ training ground.” Does not the
girl who made it from Park to the
third floor of Dalton by ten after
the hour deserve some mention?
Even more stamina and effort are
exhibited during freshman relax-
ation” classes, not to mention the
physical agility required to per-
form a one-two-three—hop step in
time to the schottische.

To Date, To Study

As a matter fact, the only hint
at the more nonacademic side of
Bryn Mawr as portrayed by Life
was an atypical picture of the
typical “study date” — atypical in
the sense that the emphasis seems
to’ be on “study” rather than
“date.” Our photographer might
have had a more accurate glimpse
of this. Bryn Mawr institution
would he have followed his sub-
jects to a nearby campus to ob-
serve the more common species of
“study date.”

Many more extra-curricular ac-
tivities flourish at Bryn Mawr—
Life underestimated the versatility
of the “American Woman.” She is
capable of campaigning for Steven-
son, vocalizing and playing chamber
music, giving formal and _ not-so-
formal teas, playing hockey against

. Haverford, in short—allowing her
talents free rein. If an occasional
evening holds no promise of male
company, she might resort to baby-
‘sitting to combat the ghost-of pay-
day, or bridge to soothe pré-exam
nerves. Dare we mention pecking
at a typewriter into the wee hours
the night before comps are due—
the fate of all-freshmen.

Certainly it must have been past
Life’s bedtime as the Lantern Man
was leisurely making his way
across the moonlit campus to admit
last-mmute stragglers and shoo

. their dates off the front porch at

-2:00 a.m., for no flashbulb explod-
ed in the darkness. Nor—fortunate-
ly—was our cameraman in the
showcase to listen in on the usual
“beast pool” at 2:01 a:m. (For the
uninitiated, “beast pool” is nothing
more than the post-mortem of a
date.) .

Finally, lanternman and Bryn
Mawrters drift off to dreamland—

' who knows whence drifteth Life—



only to be rudely torn from slumber
by a familiar and resounding gong.
Mayday may be colorful, Lantern
Night inspirational, and the campus
in spring incomparable, we admit,
but nothing is quite'as picturesque
as the monthly panorama of a Bryn
Mawr fire drill! Ah, where was
Life as dishevelled, cold-creamed
Bryn Mawrters in curlers and in-
triguing states of disattire con-
verged on. the front lawn?

No. Life did. not..see.“all,”Cer=

tainly it did not miss ‘the Bryn
Mawr of the intellectual, but it did
bypass the Bryn Mawr of the “in-
dividual” —something we hope you
will not miss.

rogram Of Teas, Mixers, Interviews Nears Its Climax

Avademic Year Starts
With Total of 647

U ndergraduates

There are 213 new students in
college this year, with 201 members
of the class of 1961 and 12 transfer
students. There are 29 foreign stu-
dents in the college.and 27 foreign
citizens in the graduate school; 25
countries are represented.

Freshmen arrived Friday, and
since then have plunged into pools,
been interviewed by Deans, attend-
ed teas, met Haverford, and. dis-
covered the panorama of clubs and
organizations. \ :

The gradual enlightment of
freshmen continued ° unimpeded
until Friday night when lo—at the
highlight of their education, dark-
ness fell. But undaunted, they filed
from Goodhart to Rhoads and Self-
gov defeated the darkness after all.

Longfellow called music “the uni-
versal language of mankind.” With
the recently increasing emphasis
which is being given musical train-
‘ing and appreciation in high
schools, more and more students
want and expect from college an
opportunity to continue their
musical education and recreation.

Bryn Mawr College, even though
it is small in size, contains varied
and plentiful resources for the mu-
sically inclined, The music depart-
ment, more fully described in the
catalogue of courses, offers not only
a full-fledged major but also elect-
ives for the novice and for those
who can not devote full time to
music. Included are courses in the
history of music, the elements of
theory, the evolution of opera, and
orchestration,

For those interested more in
applied than in theoretical music,
there are both group and solo pos-
sibilities. The eighty-voice chorus,
organized under the music depart-
ment, is open, subject to further
tryouts, to those who pass the voice
test which is given to all fresh-
men during Freshman Week.
Among the plans of the chorus for
this year, besides participation in
the weekly college chapel services,
are an appearance with the Phila-
delphia symphony orchestra on an

all-Bach program in November and
a trip to Princeton later in the
year. The outstanding members of
the chorus comprise the double
octet, which sings at chorus con-
certs. The independent octangle
provides entertainment at dances
and other social functions.

Instrumentalists are welcomed by
the college orchestra, which is also
under the department. of music and
is composed of students from both
Bryn Mawr and Haverford. In addi-
tion, there are numerous instru-
mental ensembles. Chamber music
concerts, Arts Night, and other
events during the year give en-
sembles and soloists a chance to
show what they have been doing
and to gain experience in the art
of performing in public.

Don’t Forget Recorder

Private lessons in both piano and
organ are available through the
college, at the student’s own ex-
pense and with no academic credit.
Advanced students may seek in-
struction at the Curtis Institute of
Music in Philadelphia or from
members of the Philadelphia sym-
phony orchestra, In fact, it is now
possible for a girl who wishes to
combine work for a Bryn Mawr
degree with intensive study at the
Curtis Institute to plan her courses
at Bryn Mawr over a five-year
period. There are a number of
practice:rooms, each equipped with

|apiano, in the basement of Good-

hart Hall. These-may--be—rented
for use at a specified time edch
day, by signing up on a chart
placed in Goodhart during the first
few days of classes. =.

In addition to the active partici-
pant, the spectator musician will
find satisfaction as well. On-campus
‘musical events include not only
the concerts presented by college
organizations but also several spon-
sored by outside groups, such as
the Philadelphia Friends of Music
Society. Off-campus, there are con-
certs at near-by colleges, for ex-
ample at Haverford and Swarth-
more, and in Philadelphia, Early in
October there is a campus sale of
reduced-price student tickets to

Welcome

We don’t know how you first heard of Bryn Mawr.
Perhaps from an alumna, perhaps from a New Yorker cartoon
or perhaps you were born knowing. Whatever happerted you
eventually came to eliminate every other institution in favor

~of Bryn Mawr while you waited hopefully for Bryn Mawr to

decide in favor of you. A thorough examination of your past
revealed your excellent potential. Then a final showdown
with Senior year exams and. college boards and by the middle
of spring you and Bryn Mawr happily accepted each other.

Finally college ceased being the future and became the
actual, and you abandoned the dubious title of “sub-fresh-
man” and officially became Bryn Mawr students, the class of
’°61. As such we salute you! We're glad you're here.. In fact,
we couldn’t do without you. You will be the most talked
about thing on campus; and as you will soon find out, you are

different from every other class that’s

will be.

On the other hand, you are very much an integral part
of a whole—whether the latter be merely the ‘little close-knit

college gommunity” associated
a sincere student body with a

liberal arts education.

Freshman Class Is Feminine And Red

Indifferent Seniors

by Ellie Winsor, ’59

Certain respectable and _ well-
known periodicals have recently
spent a good deal of time and
money in efforts to penetrate one
branch of the unknown and dis-
cover “How does ‘Bryn Mawr
dress?” One particularly enter-
prising publication has even gone
so far as to make a practice of
assimilating each summer one lit-
erate “Bryn Mawrtyr” (you'll hear
that term often) into its staff and
attacking her confidence with con-
stant questions, but to date a dis-
creet silence has been maintained.
You the class of 1961 are entering
upon this tradition of fashion, and
in a few weeks, you the smart, the
sophisticated will take the course
of least resistance, just (Zeus for-
bid as did ’60, 59, and ’58 before
you.

Instead ,of looking at us, how-
ever, think of your INDIVIDUAL-
ISM; look. at yourselves in a
month’s time. Just as the fashion

_experts_told-you,;-red-is the color

to blaze forth on campus, red gym
suits, red blazers (slightly wrin-
kled), red tank suits, red hand-
books, red Maypole streamers .. .
And you may wear your gym tunic
ballet-short' or Bermuda-long, stuff-
ed into or flopping outside of any
baggy skirt for class. Whichever

~-style you may choose don’t fail to

notice the blouson detailing at the
waist and remember too that the
dropped waistline is still quite chic.

Perhaps it is not Bryn Mawr’s
education particular, but the
academic life in general which dic-
tates your fashion habits. A re-
cent survey of Vassar graduates
and students, conducted and eval-
uated in part by a Bryn Mawr pro-

fessor of psychology, noted among



Don Trench Coats

‘other bits of information that col-

lege seniors are more individualis-
tic, less feminine than they were
as freshmen. Here is a cheerier
light—it is possible, on your career
and on the problem of dress—to
progress in a four year march
away from femininity toward fem-
inism. (It is also possible that Mr.
Brown hag never witnessed a fresh-
man hockey game).

Analytically speaking the way
you will dress on certain occasions,
under certain crises, reveals, no
doubt, the level of collegiate de-
velopment you have attained and
your degree of personal adjust-
ment, Take breakfast (if your
alarm works) where you may wear
anything you desire or dream.
There are those who come sweetly
clad in negligees and pin-cur] caps
and instantly you class them as the
very feminine who have not even
begun the upward path to wisdom.
Gradually their number thins and
yields to the quilted robe, the cor-

|duroy duster, the plaid wool and

khaki trenchcoat (in that order);
these are all ascending stages.
Exceptions always appear as the
fully dressed, who are beyond any
psychology, and the gym crew, a
dubious but hopeful species. But
by far the most advanced type of
breakfast apparel is the academic
gown worn in. lieu..of.a.bathrobe.

After noting these” specimens
carefully for a length of time,
checking their age, class, mental
development and. marital possibili-
ties, reducing »to percentiles and

graphing the results, you will]

clearly find some distinction be-
tween freshmen and seniors, some-
thing towards which you can look











forward as you sip your tea in the
osu of your (red) lantern. —



Arts Council Is
New Organizat'n

by ‘Gretchen Jessup, °58

The Arts Council is a new organ-
ization on campus, one which wish-
es to fill an old need, - - - that of
representation for the “various
creative arts, Organizationally, it
is at present a part of the Under-
grad structure, with executive pow-
ers in ordering its own affairs,

A.C. consists of both individuals
and groups. A person may be es-
pecially concerned with the activi-
ties of A.C. as a whole, or else
with some one aspect of it, such as
Arts Night, a recital,'or an art ex-
hibition. She may work at either
or both ranges, and without be-
longing to a club or group or com-
mittee, such as compose A.C.’s
“other half”,

There are groups on campus pre-
senting music, a literary maga-
zine, dance, and drama, They are
members of the A.C. alliance, and
are, specifically, the Chorus, Orch-
estra, College Theatre, Dance Club,

and Revue. In addition, A. C. Rec-

several committees, - - - the Rec-
ord Library, Art Rental, and Art
Exhibitions, functioning within its
PPAMCWONK go nmnenmaemenernns

The heads of these
groups make up the A.C,
tive Board. There are
chairman of the Board,
freshman member.

The purpose of. A.¢. is really
three-fold. In the first place, it is.
one of coordinating programs and
plans, of providing a regular ex-
change of ideas among its mem-
bers. Board meetings are import-
ant to this side of A.C.; so are the
ideas and abilities of any interest-
ed person on campus,

‘Secondly, Arts Council provides
the considerable interest and the
many students it represents with 4
voice in Undergrad, in college af-
fairs generally, and for the un-
dergraduates of the college, as
necessary. :

The third, and perhaps happiest
purpose of A.C., is to schedule art
exhibitions, lecturers, and student
programs, recitals, discussion
groups, Most important of these,
we feel, is the A.C.-sponsored Arts
Night (an .annual program of
dance, drama and music), as it
gives a unique opportunity for stu-
dent originality and talent to show
itself to advantage. Last year’s
Arts Night was extremely success-
ful. Much of its material was or-
iginal (dance choreography, a one-
act, play, incidental music), while
some was iby more established mu-
sicians and writers, The whole
was student directed, produced,
and presented.

Some other successful activities
last year, were an exhibit of stu-
dent art, last spring, sending a
Bryn Mawr delegate to an invita-
tional college. poetry contest at
Mount Holyoke, and the bi-weekly
display of a student’ drawing or
painting, on the A.C. bulletitn
board. This year, in addition to
such things as those, we would par-
ticularly like to have some discus-
sion groups (plans for an informal
play-reading group are afoot),
more musical and dance programs,
as well as lecturers in fields of

various
Execu-
also a
and a

‘general -interest.— Bene
Altogether, A.C. finds itself
young but optimistic. We think

there are good things for it»to do
on campus,
much that many of you freshmen
will help us do them. Come see
the board members, listed in your
handbook; ‘about it!

|Bureau Gets Jobs

For Students Here

Job center for Bryn Mawr stu-
dents is the Bureau of Recom-
mendations, specializing in every-
thing from leaf raking to perman-
ent work after graduation.

Located in Taylor basement at
the foot of a flight of stairs by the
door that leads to Denbigh, the
Bureau has a variety of odd jobs
and steady work, The most popular’
is baby sitting: there are many
calls, and it’s usually possible to
get a baby sit for the night you
want it, Other types of occasional
work (reading, ‘modetthg, stuffing
envelopes) are always available
too.

By now most of the steady jobs
(such as slide showing, waitres-
sing) are filled, but there will be
openings: later in the semester. If
you’re interested in any sort of
work, it’s a good idea to register
soon. Mrs. L. Crenshaw will be
glad to see you, find out what
your special interests are, and line
you up for jobs. And later on,
when -you’re beginning to think of
summer work, the Bureau will have

Organization Presidents Reporting Plans For en

Self - Government Association

by Nancy Dyer, ’58

The Self-Government Board
would like to extend an enthusiastic
welcome.to the new members of the
freshman class.

By now most of you have seen
a written statement of what Self-
Government is at Bryn Mawr,|;
either in the handbook or else in
the letter which was. sent out to
you during the month of August.

In brief, it is a means of student
government based on an honor sys-

“tem whereby students are on their
honor to carry out the social and
academic rules of the Association.
These rules are formed by the stu-

‘dents themselves in the best inter-
ests of the individual and of the
college as a whole,

You have probably noticed in
reading over the Constitution that
respect. for individual freedom
plays a major role in the rules of
the Association. One of the most
important aspects of Self-Govern-
ment is this theory and practice of
individual freedom. A tailor-made

- moral code could never mean as

interfaith
by Giselle DeNie, °58

The Interfaith Association is
responsible for all the organized
religious activities on campus, and



plans to have. an_active mid-week
program as. well as the usual Sun-
day evening chapel services this
year. A series of lectures about the
various Eastern religions is being
planned, as are an interfaith mar-
riage panel, a demonstration of the
Catholic Mass ritual, and visits to
various different churches. In the
Sunday evening chapels, a new
form of service will be used for the
first time this year for non-clerical
and/or non - Protestant - Christian
speakers.. Also, we are hoping to
present a medieval morality play
with College Theatre, and another
concert of religious music given
by the Department of Musie and
the College Chorus.

On Tuesday afternoon, October
1st, each freshman will have a
chance to meet the minister of the
local church of her denomination
at the minister’s, tea in the Com-
mon Room at 4:30 p.m. All stu-
dents, upperclassmen as well, are
cordially invited.

The Chapel speaker for this
Sunday’s service, held at 7:30 p.m.
in the Music Room in Goodhart,
will be the Reverend Dr. George
M. Docherty of the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church,
Washington, D. C. He will be hav-
ing supper in Rhoads Hall that
evening, and anyone who would like
to have supper with him should
sign up on the list posted on the
bulletin board in Taylor. His topie
will be “Piety and Politics,” and
he will stay after the service for

‘ discussion with the students in the
Common Room, where coffee will
be served.

On the following Sunday, October
sixth, when our guest speaker will
be the Rabbi Elias Charry of the
Germantown Jewish Centre in
Philadelphia, the new form of ser-
vice will be used for the first time.
Instead of the usual hymns, scrip-

ture~lesson, ~and=spoken—prayers;
the service will consist of a selec-
tion read by a student, followed
by a period of meditation and in-
dividual prayer, then the speaker’s
address, and closing period of
meditation. The service will be
- opened and closed by short select-
ions for the organ played by Mr.
Robert L. Goodale. Discussion and
coffee in the Common Room, as
usual, will follow the service.

The Interfaith Association is an
interfaith, interdenominational or-
ganization and invites all those in-
terested in its activities to attend
its open boa
meeting will be held on Tuesday,
October 8th, at five o’clock in the
Common Room.

much to an individual as the per-
sonal values she has been allowed
to develop by means of her own
investigation and judgment. Self-
Government attempts to establish a
creative balance between this in-
dividual investigation and the
necessary practical rules for living
ina large group.
This coming year the Constitu-
tion is scheduled to come up for
revision. Here is an excellent and,
important opportunity to re-eval-
uate the rules in order that they
may not only be as clear as pos-
sible, but also that they may be
tuned to the direct needs of the
college community at the present
time. A system of self-government
can only really be effective if in-
dividual responsibility is coupled
with a feeling of responsibility for
the group as a whole, For this rea-
son we would especially like to
encourage attendance at the open
Board meetings and the meetings
of the college Legislature this fall.
Once more, welcome to 1961! we
are looking forward to meeting
you and hearing your ideas on

by Donna AA ‘Wisaaed
The A. A. will offer this year

‘lseveral new activities which we

hope will interest you. In addition
to the regular program of varsity
sports, interclass and_ interhall
games, and clubs, we will present
several talks and exhibitions. The
football lecture will be continued

dition of some informmation on

soccer and other men’s sports which
every young lady should know. We
hope to have an exhibition of
fancy badminton early in the year,
by a gentleman who usually per-
forms tricks with badminton on
ice. In the spring there may be
some exhibition tennis and golfe.

Th co-ed hockey game and fen-
cing match which were both great
successes last year will be repeat-
ed, with the addition of mixed
doubles in tennis, perhaps co-ed
golf, and softball in the spring.

It is hoped that much can be
done with Rhoads Farm this Fall.
The farm is located only ten min-
utes from the college by bike, and
is an excellent place for Sunday
afternoon picnics and bike trips.

This year there will be a class
in synchronized swimming during
the fall, if there is sufficient in-
terest shown in holding such a
class, which might develop into
a club performing in swimming
meets during the winter. .

The dance club plans a very ac-
tive year which will include the
presentation of a concert on one
of the college weekends.

The outing club will, as usual
organize a canoe trip with one of
the men’s colleges in the area, and
a skiing trip during spring vaca-
tion or during semester break. We
hope also to organize some square
dancing this year, if there is inter-
est in such a group, and so revive
an activity that used to be a fav-
orite until a few years ago. In con-
nection with-this, there will be a
group of folk-singing and guitar-
playing enthusiasts which will
meet in Applebee Barn every week
or so to share songs and /folk
music, /

As usual, we will offer movies
during some of the college weeends,
and also special sports movies like
the Bermuda Races fix eaeseck te
as|last year.

The Bridge Tourn a will |.
again take place during the latter
part of this semester, offering

League
by Sandy Grant, 58

The League, as the campus’
social service organization, spon-
sors and coordinates all volunteer
social service activities of Bryn
Mawr students. It is dedicated both
to broadening our awareness of
existing social problems and to pro-
viding avenues of service for stu-
dents who feel they must “do some-
thing” about urgent situations.

. Through the years League Board
members have felt that it is not
enough merely to “do good.” Unen-
lightened service can be useless
and even harmful, We have a
speaker program in order to bring

experts to the campus to give stu-
dents information and insight into
current social problems, and this
year we plan to present speakers
who will explore the areas of race
relations, social service.in Ameri-
ca, and international welfare.
However, the activity groups
form the bulk of our program. The
chairman of each League activity

_tnot. only acts as an organizer but

also sees that each new volunteer
understands as much as she can
labout her work situation before
she begins. And then, of course, we
learn by doing. One of the best
things League has to offer us is
the knowledge and understanding
of human situations gained through
participating in its activities. We
learn not only about the problems
and people we are working with,
but also about ourselves and about
human relations in general.

Long Range Planning

Most of the activities sponsored
are perennial, although some are
temporary and may consist of work
for only a month or two. Some,
like the Clothing Drive, last all
year round but are given special
emphasis at certain times during
the year, The League is a flexible
organization and certainly wel-
comes all suggestions for new pro-
jects or for revisions and improve-
ments in old ones. A list of the
current activities includes: Week-
end Workcamp, Embreeville Mental
Hospital, tesville Little Theater
Group and Chess Club, Fountain
House (rehabilitation for mental
patients), Girl Scouts and Brown-
ies, Bryn Mawr Hospital Children’s
Ward, Maids and Porters Commit-
tee, Clothing Drive, Soda Foun-
tain, and Summer Camp.

Information about each group
may be obtained by reading the
League information sheet and
questionnaire soon to be sent out
to each student, or by going over
the League section in your Hand-
book, and also consulting the chair-
men (listed in the Handbook) of
committees in which you are in-
terested. Every student is an ipso
facto member of League, but to
become a participating member,
just check on the questionnaire the
activities which interest you and
the chairmen of these groups will
contact you personally. (Of course,
checking the questionnaire does not
commjt you to participate!) You
can be as involved in League as
you want to be.

—Ef-you-are concerned about policy|
and planning—or even interested
or curious—you are welcome to
attend the open Board meetings
even if you are not an elected
Board member. The _ important
issues this year will be invest
tions of finances, Summer Camp—
its potentialities and actualities,
Soda Fountain, and rewriting our
‘| Constitution.

_In all, there are three areas of
participation in League: the lect-
ures, the policy and planning, and
the actual social service activities.
We hope you will feel you are do-
ing something that is constructive
and valuable, and will find fun and

League has to offer.

ma entitled to vote on the

Undergrad
by Dodie Stimpson, ’58

The Undergraduate Association
is many things, and its activities
vary from receiving requests. to
regulate parking-lot lights to writ-
ing constitutions, It was created
to-act as a liason between students,
faculty, and administration, to rep-
resent undergraduate opinion, and
thus, it serves as a focal point for
questions which concern no-one in
particular and everyone in general.

It has, moreover, two essential
purposes; it sees that certain col-
lege functions are carried out, and
it develops new programs in res-
ponse to what is needed and
desired. It administrates, and it
initiates.. This year, Undergrad’s
program will attempt to fulfill both
purppses,

Traditionally, Undergrad super-
vises traditions themselves and all-
college weekends; it collects Com-
mon Treasury dues, and issues the
Freshman Handbook. While estab-
lishing the Accommodations Bu-
reau,...which...lists...places...where
weekend guests can stay, it also
gathers ushers for lectures and
sells caps and gowns, Clubs and
committees, from the Record Lib-
rary..to..theTravel Bureau, are
co-ordinated by Undergrad; this
year, one of the newest committees,
the Arts Council, will be particu-
larly active and the chairman of the
Curriculum. Committee, which: rep-
resents Sip i on academic mat-
ters, will again be on the Execu-
tive Board.

Undergrad can initiate in at least
two ways: it can either experiment
with changes in existing activities,
or it can begin entirely new ones.
In brief, it can either reform and
reorganize or plunge. Among its
reforms will be a new schedule of
social week-ends; the Junior Prom
will follow the Junior Show during
the last part of October, instead
of occurring in April, and the
spring week-end will be rearrang-
ed. A study will be made of the

iAbsocicifion

effectiveness of the Freshman
Handbook; food will be sold more
regularly during final exams, and
it is highly possible that a college-
wide vote Avill be taken to decide if

continued.

Undergrad’s plunges often occur
only after much preparation. This
year there will be preparation, and
perhaps plunging, on the construc-
tion of a central meeting place, or
Bryn Mawr version of a student
union. Undergrad’s constitution it-
self must also be revamped.

The Association also faces one
perennial problem: its members are
often uncertain about its purpose,
activities, and sometimes, its exist-
ence, and its Advisory and Execu-
tive Boards seem to have become
the Association itself. In brief,
Undergrad must insure that it is
never cut off from its source of
vitality, the students.

tioned. The Council is composed
of the presidents of Self-Gov,
Undergrad, Alliance, League, - the
Interfaith and Athletic Associa-
tions, the class presidents, and the
editor ofthe News, and it serves
both as the highest policy group
for student affairs and as the co-
ordinating board for major organ-
izations. Continuing plans begun
last spring, it will first discuss the
structure of student organizations,
the Big 6, and establish a commit-
tee to study the Big 6.

In several weeks, the freshmen
‘will elect their class president, who
will be on the Undergrad Council.
They will begin to elect the first
of three representatives to the
Undergrad Executive Board. But
the freshmen are also a part of
the Undergraduate Association it-
self through their ipso facto mem-
bership, through joining its clubs
and committees, and through par-
ticipating in any of its activities.





Alliance for Political Affairs

by Martha Bridge, ’58

This year the Alliance is again
dedicated to the goal of making
political. affairs a lively and im-
portant part of Bryn Mawr’s
thought and, we hope, activity.
The function of the Alliance board
is to serve as a channel for already
existing political enthusiasms and
to stimulate latent interest; and
this year’s Board would like to
bring to the campus an emphasis
on the drama of politics—to which
one is free to respond as spectator
or critic in the wings, backstage
crew, or as actor—but never with-
out some inside involvement.

This is only in keeping with the
fact that every Bryn Mawr student
is involved in the Alliance, if only
irr the barest sense of ipso facto
membership. As you know, the
Alliance Board is composed of
elected representatives and the
heads of member clubs, The latter
group lends great flexibility to the
composition of the Board; in fact,
interest is the only requirement}
for voting at Board meetings, since,
according to the procedure of the
present. Board, any student who
attends a meeting (and it is always
open, with a warm welcome) is
day’s
agenda. In whatever political
drama comes to Bryn Mawr, the
Alliance Board, acting as “back-
stage crew,” expands indefinitely!

In the role of spectator, every-
one is interested in having an
opportunity to see and hear the
great personalities of the political
drama, and the Alliance is workipig
on bringing some of thesé to
hart.

The Alliance is planning /to offer
several talks on working’ politics;
an outline of topics includes lobby-
ing and legislation, the’ future of
the labor movement, the press and
politics, women in pyblic life, in-
tegration, and foreign policy
towards the Far East. Weekly Cur-
rent Events metings will continue
to interpret political events as they
occur. Other ext¢nsions of the in-
formative (an argumentative)
side of the Alliance will be carried
on by the Debate and Discussion
Clubs.

For the “actors” on the political
seene, the ‘Alliance will support
Young Democrats, Young Repub-
licans, and any other partisan poli-
ticians who organize themselves.
The “alphabet soup” organizations

Letter From Paris

by Helene Valabregue, °58

The Seine still flows under the
Pont Mirabeau, and, in spite of
the recent decapitation, of the Tour
Wiffel, which lost its head in a fire,
and the summer invasion of tour-

ists, Paris is still the same city
of poetic charm, Few Parisians,
however, are there to enjoy it in
the month of August, for during
the weekend of August first, half
the city’s population left on vaca-
tion. This overnight depopulation is
something which has to be seen
to be believed. Suddenly, you find
that you not only have to go to
four different shops to get meat,
vegetables, bread, and butter; but
that you have to walk miles for
them, as everything in your neigh-
borhood is closed. And, because of
the tremendous decrease in the
number of cars, crossing a street
on foot is no longer equivalent to
risking your life,

Not only are most shops closed
(excepting those of the expensive
Fauborg St. Honoré, which thrive
on the business of wealthy tourists)
but also-entertainment is hard to
come by.

Whereas in the month of June,
one could choose between Giraud-
oux, Moliere, Felicien, Marceau,
Lorea, and others in Paris’ many
theaters, in the month of August
the hit of the season, playing al-
most everywhere, is “Cloture An-

open, and for a nominal fee, one
can see the Lehmann Collection of
New York at the Orangerie, a mag-
nificent exhibition of Czecho-
slovakian art at the Arts Decorat-
ifs, or a Second Empire collection
of furniture and paintings at the
Musee Jacquemart-Andre, to name
a few.

No matter how few Parisians
there are in Paris, wherever there
are two Frenchmen, there will be
conversation. Since, miraculously,
there have been no railroad strikes
this summer, the main topics of
conversation are the fontinuing
turmoil in Algeria (many pea-
ple think that de Gaulls is the
only man who commands enough
respect and authority to con-
trol and calm the present state



of affairs in Northt Africa) and the
dollar, an absolute must to protect
French industry from cheaper for-
eign prices. The devaluation, how-
ever, was only partial, not affect-
ing the prices of foreign raw ma-
terials, which are essential to
France’s industry.

As for the growing hostility of
the French toward Americans,
which I had read so much about
that I almost trembled to speak a
word of English in the streets, I
have found almost none of it. The
French, having been invaded so
many times, have -become notori-
ously inhospitable to foreigners,
but the dominant attitude towards
the United States is one of wishing
to renew and strengthen the friend-
ship which seemed to be tottering
at-the time of the Suez crisis.

B.M.C. Music

Continued from Page 1

the Philadelphia symphony’s Mon-
day evening concert series, which
features guest artists and conduct-
ors. On Thursday evenings there
is another series of performances
by well-known musicians, and the
opera and ballet visit Philadelphia
in the course of the winter.

One of the happiest aspects of
music at Bryn Mawr is that it
has been so completely integrated
into the traditions which are such
a vital part of the college: the



1 ; ; ;
Siasemphows.gme.musigagla,.emd hehe sccncrnesnenn

hit tunes live after them; each
class has its own elected songmis-
tress; class singing is a major part
of such events. as May Day and
Parents’ Day; warm evenings find
the college flocking to “step sing-
ing” under Taylor tower; Lantern
Night acquaints everyone with a
little Greek; the Christmas season
bring carolers; even dinner is often
accompanied by song (perhaps of
dubious musical value).

From your roommate’s phono-
graph to the piano in the smoker,
from song meetings to symphony
concerts, from the library cloisters
on Lantern Night to the busy prac-
tice rooms in Goodhart, music is
a part of life at Bryn Mawr, in
doses to suit both the devotee and
the casually interested.
