College President
Reviews Problems

In First Assmbly

“We are faced with imbalances,”
said President McBride in a speech
on October first, officially opening
the ’57-58 academic year. Among
these imbalances are lack of resi-

dence space and of facilities of the

new science building. Bryn Mawr is
short about thirty rooms due to in-
creased student enrollment, three
per cent in the
school and ten per cent in the

undergraduate

graduate school. The new science

building will not be completed until
next summer, and “it is difficult to
maintain a state of patience for a
year.”

Statistics .

There are now 647 undergradu-
ates and 201 graduate students
with seven per cent of the total
enrollment consisting of students
from foreign countries. Miss Mc-
Bride commented on the size of the
class of ’61 with their enrollment of
201 and of their aptitude in mathe-
matics and interest in classical and
archeological studies.

Present Crises

Three questions of importance to
Bryn Mawr students arose during
the summer: equal rights, use of
atomic power and appropriations
to underdeveloped countries. We
will need more knowledge to help
us to solve these questions, es-
pecially the crisis in human rela-
tions, but along with the develop-
ment of knowledge, there must be
a “cultivation of conscience.” “With
the development of unity of knowl-
edge and ‘cultivation of conscience
said Miss McBride, “we can better
solve the penne confronting us
in this age.”

Freshmen Hall Plays Will Feature

Pantomime And

Although faced with such prob-
lems as Skinner’s limited facilities,
conflicting chorus rehearsals, and
the ten hour rehearsal time, the
freshmen are optimistically plan-
ning to present eight one-act
masterpieces on Friday and Satur-
day nights, October 11 and 12.

An hilarious musical comedy

(with one song), featuring an on- hy

stage make-up crew (composed of
one person) will be presented by
Radnor as its bid for the bronze
plaque. Mind Over Matter (doubt-
less the audience’s feat on viewing
this spectacle) will be directed by
Cathy Blanc and Bonnie Goldberg,
managed by Ethel Sussman, and
advised by Sue Schapiro.

With Sue Kenny as director,
Sarah Bosworth as stage manager,
and Lucy Wales as advisor, Rhoads’
freshmen will produce The Re-
hearsal, a take-off on a rehearsal
of Macbeth with W. Shakespeare

starring in person. Denbigh’s con-

tingent wil appear in Free Speech,
a farce on parliamentary procedure
and the democratic way of life. In-
volving seven men in Russia, the
play will be directed by Judy Oolie
and advised by Terry Farr.

The High School, taken from The
World of Sholom Aleichem, is Mer-
ion’s choice of drama. A comedy

talks .with..a.-visiter

Mme. dambor Presents Concert

by Ann Farlow

On Saturday evening the College
welcomed Mme. Agi Jambor,
Hungarian pianist and scholar, to
its Music faculty at a recital by
Mme. Jambor in Goodhart. The
program included a Prelude and
Fugue in A minor by. J. S. Bach,
Carnival by Schumann, and Cho-
pin’s Sonata in B flat minor, Opus
35. All three were technically de-
manding pieces ¢executed with a
facility and command that allowed
ample freedom for interesting and
highly personal interpretations.

’ Perhaps the most interesting of
Mme. Jambor’s views given through
the medium of this performance
was evident in the Bach. An aca-
demician would deny the use of the
piano for such music on the prin-
ciple that the piano as we know it
hadn’t been invented at the time
the music was written. However,
it is also true that Bach often
didn’t specify definite instrument-
ation, and that most of his themes
appear in more than one setting
throughout the vast scope of his
music, These two factors produce
an absolute music that allows the
performer an educated choice of
instrumentation. Mme. Jambor
chooses the piano. The baroque
harpsichord (with few exceptions)
can produce only levels or plat-
forms of dynamics which are con-
sequently a basic characteristic of
the music. The piano, like the voice,
can produce all gradients, leaving
the performer the choice of dynam-
ic interpretation as well as instru-
mental. Mme. Jambor made use of
this pianistic capacity, but also
played with as essentially unvarying
tempo and evenness that was
definitely Baroque in character, an
interesting combination that suited
both the instrument and the music.
Whether* or ‘not one-agreed with
the rapidity of tempos, the inter-
pretation was vigorous and brilli-
a

The second piece, Schumann’s
Carnival, has some rather intrig-
uing extra-musical aspects. The
unifying element is the four notes
A, E flat, C, B natural, or, in the
German notation ASCH. These are



— the letters in Schumann’s

Of Bach; Schumann At B.M.C

staff, and the name of the home
of his then current love. The piece
is subdivided into twenty-one short,
linked sections, many of which bear
the names of figures in Schumann’s
life. This is a well-known, rather

puzzling piece of music, the differ-
ent threads and fragments of which
Mme. Jambor brought out in a
clear, fresh treatment.

The larger works of Chopin, of
which the B flat minor Sonata is
one, are frequently criticised for
lack of unity and continuity. How-
ever, under Mme, Jambor’s hand,
this flaw was minimized, even in
the often-disjointed third move-
ment. Schumann wrote about this
piece, “‘. . . the fact that he call-
ed the work ‘Sonata’ might rather
be thought a bit of caprice, if not
impertinence . . .’ But he added,

. who can know whether some
day a... descendant... may not
dust off and play the Sonata and
think to himself: ‘Yet that fellow
wasn’t so entirely wrong after
all’!”’ Bryn Mawr is more than
happy to welcome Mme. Jambor,
who seems to qualify as the per-
ceptive descendant of whom Schu-
mann spoke.

College Boosts Residence And Tuition Fees;
Operating Costs Not Met By Present Income

Sept. 1958 To Bring
$300 Incréased
Expenses

Bryn Mawr-tuition and residence
fees will be increased next year.
Miss McBride has written a letter
to Bryn Mawr parents explaining
the necessity of the action. The
letter reads as follows:

To Parents of Bryn Mawr Under-
graduates: :

In another year, September 1958,
Bryn Mawr will increase tuition
The Directors
of the. College have taken action
at this time in order to give fam-
ilies ample notice of the change
and to permit members of the -Col-
lege and of the Scholarship Com-
mittees to make plans to help stu-
dent“who-will need” further schol-
arship aid.

and residence fees.

The tuition fee for undergradu-
ate students will be increased from
$850 to $1100. The residence fee
will be increased by $50.

The chief reasons that have led
to an increase of $300 for resident
students and $250 for non-residents
are two. Higher operating costs
in 1956-1957 have not been met
by all sources of income, including
endowment income and_ student
fees, and they cannot be met in
1957-1958. We are doing every-
thing we can to keep ‘these costs
down and we shall continue to do
so, but we must ask students to
take a share of the higher costs
Then there is
one major section of the budget

we cannot avoid.

which we must strive to increase.
We must introduce a higher bud-
get for faculty salaries, asking
students through tuition fees, and
alumnae and other friends~ of the
College through gifts, to support
a salary scale more nearly ade-
quate for the faculty.

Gifts and bequests to the Col-
lege in recent years have added —
to the endowment, which now con-
tributes an average of $780 a year
toward the expenditures for each
student. Gifts which are sought
annually add to this amount. To
maintain the high quality of work
in the’ College ‘we hope to increase
both the endowment income and
the annual gifts. The higher fees
in 1958-1959 will mean that stu-
dents are taking a share but only
a proportionate share of the nec-
essary increase in expenditures.

Sincerely,
Katharine McBride

Lament

So it goes—the USSR has launched Sputnik, the Ford
Family has produced Edsel. Still there is no joy in Brooklyn.

A very long time ago there were no Dodgers in Brook-
lyn. It was a lazy Dutch community that called itself Breuck-
elen (also spelled Breucklan, Breucklyn, Brucklyn, Brouck-
lyn, Brookland) where farmers and their cows lived in un-
enlightened bucolic harmony. The quiet island community
was not even bridged to the American mainland. Brooklyn
was to wait a few hundred years, until 1913 to be exact, for
any claim to worldwide recognition and fame. In that year,
the Brooklyn Dodgers settled in their spatious Flatbush
But-now- Ebbets Field; -hallowed-stadium of the Be-
loved Bums, is called antiquated’and one W. O’Mally by name
proposes to sell his soul in one of the most outrageous kid-
nappings of all time. =

Can the Dodgers be morally wrested from their filial
soil? Only the completely amoral are not outraged at the
suggestion. If one event can be labelled as indicative of the
cancerous cult of materialism in our times this is it. Can the
legend of the Brooks be maintained, three thousand miles to
the West in some foreign, inhospital location? Could Los
Angeles, encompassing the tawdry, pretentious, unreal movie
capital, ever offset the devotion, the “loud, raucous”, but
(unmistakable) devotion that Brooklyn has? Admittedly
in some far off city of beer drinkers the former Boston
Braves find their finances improved, yet the forsaking of
the Dodgers does not merely involve, economics stockmarket

tycoonery, impersonal bargaining. It is a question of loyal-

ties, of spiritual attachments, of magical legends. Surely
the voice of the poet, the lament of the bard must be heard

in this struggle of seats vs. sentiments and parking fields

vs. principles.

College populations and costs will continue increasing,
the “fair co-ed” will continue entering the male educational
scene, the Bryn Mawr science center will near completion
and even alumnae poets will continue proposing automobile
nomenclature, but will Brooklyn go on without them?

Back To School

Anyone who saw the photographs taken at Little Rock, |:

Arkansas during the last weeks of September was reminded
that “back to school” is an expression apparently not to be
used by all U. S. citizens legally entitled to it.

In his use of the National Guard to stop the entry of
nine Negro children to Little Rock’s, Central High School,
and through his subsequent actions and speeches, Governor

- Orval Faubus has shown that his aim was not really that of

preventing violence but of preventing court-ordered désegre-
gation. The mob action that followed the withdrawal of the
Guard was not the same violence Governor Faubus says he
had hoped to offset, but a logical outcome of the cue and en-
couragement he gave to the otherwise irrationally minded
group of hoodlums
The world has found the violence shocking. No one can
tell how many times the pictures of a young girl being spit
at by her classmates has been reprinted abroad. What.Amer-
icans*should have found equally shocking was the fact that
federal authority and citizens’ right were allowed to be tam-
pered with so flagrantly until final recourse on the part of the
president led to the sending of federal troops to guarantee
citizens the rights the state should have safeguarded.
» » Last year, in this, the first regular issue of the News in

leadership shown. by the president. Unfortunately, he seem-

ed to exhibit this weakness again in his “neg6tiations” with
Faubus and in the belatedness of his firmness in reassuring
the country that the Constitution and federal court-ordered
decrees were still the supreme law ef the land.. However, as
long as the minority of hoodlums and the Governor cannot

Fire Laws Require
Keen Proficiency
In Rope Climbing

Members of the physical educa-
tion department announce that
they have _ scheduled Thursday,
October 10 as the day when “all
freshmen must report to the gym
between the hours of 1:30 and 6:00
p.m. for their required rope test.
This year ‘Miss Dexteria Nodus,
former leader of the Swiss Girl
Guides will supervise the rope test.

‘Miss Nodus explains that the
test is simple, consisting merely
of demonstrated ability to descend
hand over hand, slide or wiggle
down a twenty-foot foot rope. Be-
cause rigid Pennsylvania fire laws
require round-the-clock protection
all students must pass the test, al-
though rope drill will not be in-
cluded in routine fire drills.

Freshmen are also asked to bring
with them 75¢ to cover the cost of
the ropes which will be theirs for
the next four years. These are to
be hung in the closet ready for
emergency use. Departing — stu-
dents, expcepting those who elope
without permission of the Deans’
Office, will receive a 50¢ refund.

Freshmen are also reminded that
rope practice will be confined to
specific hours at the gym and is
not to be conducted from dormitory
roofs, from the cloisters, Goodhart,
Taylor tower or trees on the cam-
pus.

Scientists Study
Danger of Fallout
by Sue Goodman :

Due to conflicting viewpoints on
the hazards of fallout from con-
tinued nuclear weapons testing,

‘the Radiation Hazards Committee

made an objective study of ° the
issue. Mr, J. Pruett and Miss R.
Hoyt of the Bryn Mawr Physics
Department’"*were members of the
committee, ae
After studying the available sci-

entific facts the Committee reached

two conclusions. The. report states
that one must recognize that the
human race has always been sub-
jected to a continuing radiation
dose\.from natural, unavoidable
causes such as cosmic radiation
from outer space and natural radi-
ation Many
people also receive doses of ten to
two-hundred percent from annual
chest .X-rays. The first conclusion
based on this informatton is that
the radiation hazard from con-

in earth and rocks.

tinued testing of nuclear weapons
at the present rate is no greater
than from radiations normally | en-
countered, .
However, the Committee also
supports the theory that the small
additional radiation caused by the
testing will be the cause of many
deaths: Even though this statement
seems to contradict the first it is
also scientifically and
therefore must be given equal
weight. The two great hazards
from weapons testing are the ac-

correct,

cumulation of radioactive stron-
tium, and the genetic hazard to
future generations due to
creased numbers of harmful muta-
tions produced by the general rise
in the external radiation back-
ground.

Considering first the strontium
hazard it has been verified that
radiations in large doses definitely
produce leukemia and bone cancer.
If weapons testing continues at the
same rate, the next two generations
will receive, on the average, a bone
dose of radiation thirty-five percent
darger than now received from na-
tural causes. To support the claim
of a genetic hazard, the Committee
cites the fact that geneticists agree

in-

_ that any additional radiation dose

will cause an undesirable increase
in the mutation rate. However, at
present the increased use of X-rays
and fluoroscope in the United
States is a very much greater
hazard than increased radiation



from nuclear weapons testing.

\leae. Theater
Releases Dlans

The College Theatre, according
to its president, Adrian. Tinsley,
has planned both a very productive
and a most interesting year for its
eager supporters and faithful pub-
lic. =

Three major productions» pro-
duced. in cooperation with Haver-
ford; are scheduled ‘for the year.
This is one fewer than usual, be-
cause an unusual amount of time
and effort is being expended on the
first play of the season, John Gay
and Frederick Austin’s Beggar’s
Opera, November 15th and 16th.

Adrian says there is much excite-

ment about doing this 18th century
social and political satire, as, for
one thing, it is the first time in re-
cent years that College Theatre has
worked with music, chorus, and or-
chestra. The other: two major pro-
ductions will be presented second
Remaster ite in March and one in
May. :

Shepherd’s Play

In addition, . College Theatre
plans on several smaller presenta’
tions, These will be given on May
Day, on Arts Night in the early
spring,..and..in..chapel, December.
8th. This last mentioned work will
probably be the second Shepherd’s
Play—apparently a lively piece.
Further, Production Workshop
will meet Saturday mornings, for

those who wish to learn about the
essentials of the backstage life,
that is, about sets, lights, makeup,
and costumes. Freshmen especially
should take advantage of these in-
formal classes, as the experience

'will prove invaluable in the amaz-

ing days (daze) of Freshman Show,
and will put you one up on your
helpless friends.

It is also hoped that it will prove
possible to conduct an Actor’s
Workshop later on.

Season tickets to the three major
plays are now being sold in the
halls by College Theatre members,
Adrian mentioned in passing.

In conclusion, Adrian remarked
that “It is a popular fallacy on
campus that one has to belong to
College Theatre to work on a play.
On the contrary, anyone can take
part in-any aspect of a Theatre
production. College Theatre’s func-
tion really is that of a planning
committee, and to provide a nucleus

come~work with us! We'd love to
have you.”

Science’ Building
Begun in August

by Liz Rennolds

“. . . we have the most magnifi-
cent hole down there behind Park.”

And that, in the proverbial nut-
shell, is the progress of the new
Bryn Mawr College science build-
ing. Excavation began this summer
for the building which will take the
pressure off of Dalton Hall, present
home ‘pf biology and physics. is
the beginning of a large center
(on that area of the campus)
specifically for science, This is: part
of the over-all plan of increase in
the size of Bryn Mawr which will
take place in the next few years.

There was a “Ground Breaking
Party” August 1, and people were
invited from all lines of college
work. They were those directly con-
nected with Bryn Mawr, from
faculty children to grounds workers
to the deans themselves,

“They took delightful. pictures
of Miss McBride and some of the

-}children with shovels preparing for

the first breaking of ground,” says
Mrs. Paul.

On November 2, there will be a
formal cornerstone-laying, and then
it won’t be long before the creaky
floors of Dalton (every single day
for.some!)..will..be.a thing 08 the
past.

Not to be dened by the free
publicity of the other branches of
the science department, Dr. Watson,
upon hearing of the discovery of
an unexpected rock formation, im-
mediately got out the trusty pick
and collected specimens. This, no
doubt, was to prove that although
the unexpected amount of drilling
will cost the college a little more
than was anticipated, there is .. .
some good ... in everything.

And the foundations go up.

12 New Alumna
Offspring Are Here

Of» the 46 Alumnae daughters
now in college, 12 are in the fresh-
man class, They are Merle Balsley,
Jean Ellen Berkley, Elizabeth Boyd,

The graduate schoo] enrollment
has increased by ten per cent; there
are 40 men among the 195 gradu-
ates.. Undergraduate enrollment is
3 per cent higher than the 1956-57



figure.



Miss M. Mellink Assists in F inding

Midas’ Tomb,

Also Discovers Impressive Fortification at Gordion

Climaxing several months’ travel
through sites in Greece, Iran, Iraq,
and Turkey, Miss Machteld Mellink

arrived at Gordion in time to as-'

sist in the dramatic opening of
what may have been King Midas’
tomb, one of the most important
archaeological discoveries in re-
cent years.
~-Although—until-now-Gordion_has
been famous for Alexander’s tri-
umphal slash, it assumes new im-
portance as a result of this find.
Expert miners were brought
from the Black Sea area to tunnel
seventy meters into the Great Tu-
mulus, where they came upon the
only intact Phrygian tomb yet
discovered. Inside a stone wall

_ and two wooden walls was a large

chamber containing a small wood-
en edifice with a pitched roof,...In
spite of Midas’ reputation for turn-
ing things to gold, material pros-
perity was indicated only by vast
numbers of bronze bowls, pitchers,
jugs, cauldrons, fibulae and other
objects. Particularly interesting
were cauldrons imported from
northern Assyria: which help to

date the site and give evidence of
fairly extensive commerce.

At first frustrated by the lack
of inscriptions, archaeologists were
delighted to observe, upon-eleaning
three bronze cauldrons, that a
small strip of wax near the han-
dles was incised‘ with Phrygian
characters. It is interesting to
speculate whether or Tot, the use
of wax on these bowls indicates a
general use of wax tablets in an-
cient Gordion. Although the in-
scriptions themselves are probably
only names, thé implications of
this discovery are far-reaching.
For the Phrygian alphabet is de-
rived from the Greek, and hitherto
the Greek alphabet has been be-
lieved to date from no earlier than
700 B.C.; however, as the tomb
dates from roximately fifty
years earlier, the Greeks must
have acquired their alphabet soon-
er than scholars previously mang
ined.

_ \Miss Mellink, while helping with
the Great Tumulus; also made
progress on her own site, which



yielded a sixty foot mud-brick for-

tification wall, the highest yet
found in Mesopotamia.

During her travels, Miss Mellink
visited Mr. Rhys Carpenter in
Greece, where he was occupied in
translating Linear B inscriptions.
(Some of the results of his work
will soon be revealed to Bryn
Mawr in a series of lectures). In
a spare moment he talked about

Museum.

Bryn Mawr was well: represented
at Gordion by Mr. and Mrs, Ed-
ward C. Carter, who were present
at the opening of the tomb, “Miss
Ellen Kohler, in charge of the mu-

and Miss Dorothy Cox, while Mr.

Jeanny Vorys, who visited, assist-
ed with the digging at two other
\Near Eastern sites.

Miss Mabel Lang, usually a mem-
ber of the expedition, was absent
this summer. She went instead to
Pylas to work on Linear B inscrip-



tions.

Attends World

The much publicized controver-
sial International Youth Festival in
Russia of this past summer attract-
ed an old Bryn Mawrter, among
others, to its ranks of participants
and cbservers. Anne Hobson ’56,
ex-presidéent of Self-Gov and Ful-
bright Scholar, recorded some of
her experiences in letters to her
hometown paper, The Richmond-
Times-Dispatch.

To a Russian date in Moscow
Anne appeared to be “a reaction-
ary capitalist.” On August 14 she
described an evening spent with
Nicholas, attired in American-style
suit and conservative tie, who re-
mained on the offensive throughout
their stroll around the city.

“Before we started off, he had
made me promise not to talk politi-
cal. We had had a rabid argu-
ment that noon, since he is a
staunch member of the Young
Communist League and I’m a re-
actionary capitalist.

“I asked him if he liked jitter-
bug or the Charleston, deliberately
avoiding rock ’n’ roll because of its
vast political implications. He said
no but he got me to teach him the
steps on the side, not on.the dance
floor. :

Anne explained that “‘at his
suggestion we exchanged a dollar
bill and a ten ruble note, He care-

fully explained that this was just.

for something to keep—Russians
don’t like money like the capitalist
countries,

“I offered to relieve him of any
capital burden he had on him, but
he wouldn’t take me up on it.

“«" About midnight we walked
back over the bridge and made a
dash for the last subway. Only at
the door of my hotel, when he had
already committed himself to a
second date, did he discover that
alarming fact that I’m not only a
capitalist but a Christian, too.

“‘Whew!’ was ‘his only com-
ment.

“‘And I noticed that he was
running back to the bus stop when
there wag not a bus in sight.’”

On August 16 Anne explained
that her most exciting hours had
been spent not looking at the fan-
tastic sights of the festival but in
impromptu conversations with (peo-
ple—“ ‘she found people eager to
hear what an American thinks and
why.

“One night some students stop-
ped me at the architectural exhibi-
tion. Why so few students in your
delegation?

Former President Of Self-Gov

Youth Festival

“Because American government
would not let you out! a Komsomo-
ler (Young Communist Group
member) broke in.

“That’s not so, I said. The gov-
ernment and student organizations
discouraged us, but they would not
stop us.

““*Why, then, are you so small?

the Komsomole asked. He was
cocky.
‘ “*Partly because American stu- +
dent groups were upset over what
happened to the Hungarian. stu-
dents, I answered.

“IT fished out my now ragged
clipping of the U.N. report. When
I had finished reading, the Kom-
somol interpreter piped up, “It is
all lies of course.”

““At this point two students
burrowed through the crowd and
pushed him back. One leaned over
and said to me: ‘Many students at
Leningrad and Moscow are also
upset at our government in Hun-
gary.

“‘Two student friends from
‘Moscow University to e they
were arrested in front of our hostel
and accused of spending too much
time with Western fascists.

“The danger’ as one Russian
put ‘it, is not for you to speak an.
for us to listen.

“Yet listen they did, and they
wanted to hear it all?”

How to crash a Kremlin party
attended by Messrs. Bulganin and
Khruschev is also treated in detail
by Anne,

As an interesting addendum to
Anne’s correspondence, the Rich-
mond Times-Dispatch began an ed-
itorial on the 41 students who dis-
regarded the State Department by
visiting behind the Bamboo Curtain
with congratulations to her. “Miss
Anne Hobson of Richmond, the Ful-
bright scholar who attended the
Communist-controlled ‘World Youth
Festival’, showed good sense in de-
ciding not to accept Mao: Tse-
Tung’s invitation to visit Red
China, By deciding not to go, she
spared herself the uncertainty that
hangs like a cloud over the 41 who
yesterday entrained on the 4,000
mile haul to Peiping.”

Anne was accompanied in Mos-
cow by a Bryn Mawr classmate,
Louise Todd ’56. A conversation
between Louise and some young
Russians as well as pictures of
Anne and Louise appeared in the
August 11 issue of the New York
Times Sunday magazine section.

It was there, in the ground, in the air and

“raw materials” today than there were when
Rome ruled the world,

The only thing new,is knowledge. . . knowledge
of how to get at and rearrange raw materials.
Every invention of modern times was “available”

In this sense, then, we have available today in
existing raw materials the inventions that can
make our lives longer, happier, safer, easier, We
need only knowledge to bring them into reality,

The crisis that confronts our colleges today
threatens to weaken seriously their ability to
produce the kind of graduates who can assimilate
and carry forward our rich heritage of learning.

The crisis is composed of several elements: a.
salary scale that is driving away from teaching. ”
the kind of mind most qualified to teach; over-
crowded classrooms; and a mounting pressure of
applications that will increase 100% by 1967.

In a very real sense our personal and national
progress depends on our colleges, They must have



fate—of our nation depends on the quality of
knowledge generated and transmitted by these
institutions of higher learning?

It is almost unbelievable that a society such as
ours, which has profited so vastly from an accel- ..
erated accumulation of knowledge, should allow
anything to threaten the wellsprings of our
learning. ;

college crisis means to you,

THE COLLEGE NEWS

Page Five



Campus Dictionary

Noah Webster and Samuel John-
son once attempted to classify the
English language. In the same
spirit, a partial dictionary of Bryn
Mawr terms may be composed.

COLLEGE COUNCIL — This is
a group which meets once a month

for dinner and discussion. It is|'

composed of Miss McBride, the
deans, Miss Howe, a faculty and
alumnae representative, the presi-
dents of the Big 6, class presidents,
News editor, a hall president, a

non-res representative, and a ward-
en,

UNDERGRAD COUNCIL —This
group meets once a week, without
dinner, It is composed of the editor
of the NEWS, the presidents of the
Big 6 and of the classes. Chaired
by the president of Undergrad, it
devotes itself to plans, projects,
and policy.

BIG 6—This institution is unique
to Bryn Mawr. It refers to the six
autonomous organizations which
are college-wide in nature and with
college-elected presidents. Between
them, they deal with nearly all
“extra-curricular activities,’ and
include Self-Gov, Undergrad, Lea-
gue, Alliance, Athletic and Inter-

fpith Associations.

SELF-GOV ADVISORY BOARD
—This.is made up of the hall
presidents and the president, vice-
president, and secretary -of Self-
Gov. They discuss probléms of Sélf-

Gov as they relate to the halls.

SELF-GOV EXECUTIVE
BOARD — This is the executive
body. of Self-Gov, elected by the
college and the classes.



x

UNDERGRAD ADVISORY
BOARD—Composed of a represent-
ative from each hall, this bears the
same relation to Undergrad as the
Self-Gov advisory board does to
Self-Gov.

UNDERGRAD EXECUTIVE
BOARD’ — This is the executive
body of Undergrad, also composed

of class and college-elected mem-
bers.

HALL REPRESENTATIVES —

This term covers a_ variety of
things. There are hall reps to the
classes: and to League, Alliance,
A.A. and Interfaith. There is one
class hall rep from each class in
each hall; there are two hall reps
(one freshman, one upperclassmen)
to each of the four organizations
mentioned above, who serve on
their boards.

LEGISLATU RE—This organiza-
tion bears a similar relationship to
Bryn Mawr as ‘Congress does to the
United States, although it meets
much less often. It is chaired by
the senior class president: its mem-
bers are the class presidents, the
Undergrad Council, the Undergrad

Executive Board, the Self-Gov Ad-.

visory and Executive Boards, and
the class hall reps. It passes on
matters ranging from revised *elec-
tion systems to apportioning funds
for the United Service Fund.

MULTITUDINOUS — A term
used to describé Bryn Mawr or-
ganizations. ,

Alumnae Choose

The election of Mrs. E. Baldwin
Smith of Princeton, New Jersey, as
president of the Alumnae Associa-
tion of Bryn Mawr College was
announced tis summer by the out-
going’ president, Mrs. J. Ebert
Butterworth of Philadelphia.

Mrs. Smith, who was elected for
a three-year term, is a former
trustee of Miss Fine’s School in
Princeton, and has been active in
Princeton community affairs. Her
late husband, Professor E. Baldwin
Smith, was Chairman of the De-
partment of Art and Archaeology
at Princeton University,

A Flea Michael
Suspects Archie

by Debby Ham

A small irate flea jumping up
and down on a bottom key of the
typewriter ceased his violent ac-
tivity in, and pointing his cane at
the editor-in-chief said, “My name’s
Michael, and the M doesn’t work.”

“Who are you?” the editor-in-
chief demanded while the other
editors opened their mouths in un-
ison.

“I just explained,” he said tap-
ping his cane on the space bar, “My
name is Michael, and my name
will always be Michael even if your
‘M’ never does work.

At this pronouncement the poor
little beast, who was perspiring
heavily from his exertion collapsed
on the key, and his big eyes filled
with tears.

We-all looked at each other wond-
ering what to do. “I can make it
work,” said the efficient managing
editor, who could always make
everything work, and she was
about to punch ‘M’ and exterminate
Michael, but with cries of alarm
we detained her.

“Don’t be hasty,” the copy-editor
snarled. :

“Just sinus, just sinus,” Michael
said, recovering somewhat, and
wiping away a large tear.

“I suppose you’re one of those
journalistic insects,” the editor-in-
chief sighed.

“Say perhaps: he knows Archie,”
said the make-up-editor, who. al-
Ways was something of a hero wor-
shipper. Michael drew himself up
to his full stature and to emphasize
his forthcoming words, whacked
three times on J, “Archie is a pre-
tentious literary innovator. _He
could capitalize if he really wanted
to, and punctuate too. He claims
his head is tired from butting the
keys, which is utter falsehood.
Furthermore his political views are
under suspicion and his oriental
religious notions are quite phony.
This incarnation busines is simply
a publicity stunt—nothing more,
nothing more. a

The modern generation is less
discriminating every day. I’m a
honest man, and make an honest

Cites Bryn Mawr’s
by Jan Wolfe

Newsweek’s special education re-
port of September 23” discussed
Bryn Mawr’s role in the field of
co-education, Prompted by this
fall’s statistics which showed that
of 1,170,000 women students in the
U.S., only 169,000 were attending
women’s colleges. Newsweek writ-
ers sniffed the air for a trend—
and also a feature story.

The news was made by the pri-
vate women’s and Men’s colleges
whose efforts toward co-ordinate
study programs seemed to empha-
sized the co-ed trend. The Russian

Institute of Bryn Mawr, Haverford

and Swarthmore was cited as one
of the earliest co-ordinate attempt
made by the Eastern colleges. The
need for greater efficiency and
economy spurred the Institute and
other programs like it into exist-
ence, but, as the writer pointed
out, “enriched educational and so-
cial opportunities were the plea-
sant by-products.”

The students themselves have
joined their cries to the plea to the
greater economy, and in some cases
have put their plans in action. Re-
cently a Princeton man asked to be
transferred to Harvard. Why? “I
am absolutely -sick of spending $50
every time I want to see a girl, I
want to be in a place where I can
buy her a cup of coffee and talk

about. Plato.” , _

The real encouragement however,
come from the college presidents.
Thirty-five were asked to comment
on the possibility of a trend toward



living: You’re going to have to fix
the ‘M’ ” he finished in a peremptory
tone, and he hopped over the ques-
tion mark, the period and the shift
key, waving his cane at us as he
left. :
