Circuits Square Doughnut

If the kitchen is the heart of the
home and the tea pantry is the
heart of the dorm, the library must
certainly be called the heart of a
college campus. At Bryn Mawr
this truism is less a figure of
speech than a geographical fact.

The massive, Gothic, grey-stoned
building (covered with ivy, of
course) stands directly, opposite
Taylor Hall. Almost every build-
ing on the campus can be located
either to the right, to the left, in
front of, or behind the library. De-
spite its venerability, it is described
most often, with a decided lack of
both reverence and architectural
accuracy, aS a Square doughnut—
the Cloisters being the hole.

Choice Imperative

As you enter the main door you
are forced—as you all too often are
at college it seems—to make a
choice. You can either mount the
flight of stairs directly in front of
you or go down one of the twin
flights of stairs on either side.
Since what goes up must come
down and the converse is not nec-
essarily true, go up first. The main
reading room is the impressive
sight which meets your eyes.

Two stories high with tall Gothic
windows and filled with rows of
desks, this room is the second home
of many Bryn Mawr students.

Reserve Room

Turning left down the aisle be-
tween the desks, you arrive at the
Reserve Room. Here, if you are
lucky, you will find a copy of the
book your history professor put on
your reading list. Student watch-
dogs preside-over—thisroom to
enforce the rules of fair play (“But
I was here first and the exam is
tomorrow!”). Directly opposite is
the Reference Room where ency-
clopedias and dictionaries await
perusal.

If you retrace your steps and go
down where you previously went
_ up to the main reading room, you

reach the stacks, or where the
books are. Try not be too dis-
concerted as you walk on the glass
floor; with positive thinking, the
black runners will lessen the effect
of the 10 foot drop beneath your
feet. The-shelves-of-books-are-on}
three levels, with the check-out
desk on the middle floor.

As you follow the hall to the

the stacks, you pass the periodical

more abstruse than the daily news-
paper. Turning right as the hall
does you pass several professors’
offices and department seminar
rooms before you reach the Quita
Woodward Room at the end of the
corridor.

You may wonder why so aha
ing a corner is so thinly populated.
The reason is simple: no studying
is allowed there! Comfortable
chairs and an assortment of light
fiction invite you to an interval of
frivolling.

Next door is the West Wing
where the beoks on art, architec-
ture, and fine arts are kept along

New Class Hails .
From All Points

The class of 1964 is smaller than
any in the previous three years,
but the opening of the 76th Aca-
demic year sees Bryn ‘Mawr still

as crowded as ever. ‘fhe reason for

this apparent numerical discrepan-
cy is far less disheartening than
the fact. Upper classmen have re-
turned this year in record number;
of the total expected, 94.6% have
come back, as opposed to 89.8%,
92.8%, 88.0% and 87.38% in the
previous four years.

The 185 freshmen, who bring
this year’s undergraduate popula-
tion to 717, represent thirty two
states and twelve foreign coun-
tries.. Though 46.6% of the group
comes from the middle Atlantic
coast, students come from areas as
remote as India, Egypt and Kenya.

In at least one respect, the Class
of ’64 differs from all its Bryn
Mawr predecessors. It has been
singled out by the Educational
Testing Service for participation
in a study to evaluate the College
Board Entrance Examinations. The
project was launched this morn-
ing With the supplemental Aptitude
tést taken in Taylor by all fresh-
men.

Official orientation and welcome

Dear—Class—of 1964,

This is a time of launching—
and _launchings are always excit-
ing. They are also a litle fright-

ening sometimes, fraught with the
uncertainty of that which awaits.
We, the Freshmen Week Commit-
tee, hope that we can help maxi-
mize the former feeling, and min-
imize the.latter in this launching
of your college careers.

First impressions are so impor-
tant, and just.as you hope to give
people you meet a good impres-
sion of what and who you are, we
who know and love Bryn Mawr
want so much for you to feel as
we do about this unique place. ft
is exciting to be in a totally new
situation, to be open and eager to
receive what it has to offer; it is
equally exciting to share some-
thing you value with another per-
son. In a very real sense, this is
what we want to do in these next
few days, all too short for every-
thing there is to give and to re-
ceive but long enough to allow a

feeling-to-penetrate, a feeling of
what Bryn Mawr is. This is only
but some day you may
feel that in these first days at
Bryn Mawr you grasped the es-
sence of this place most complete-
ly. It is safe to say that these
days of Freshman Week will re-
main among your most memorable
at Bryn Mawr, for so many things
begin. now.

We hope that our spirit of giv-
ing will reach you with the same
sincere friendliness’ and interest
that we felt during our time as
freshmen. We are looking forward
to getting to know all of you, as
these days go by. It is a great
honor to be chosen as a member of
the Freshman Week Committee.
Much thought and planning has
gone into these days to make them
enjoyable, to get things that must
be accomplished done, to keep
everyone busy without being run
ragged, to allow opportunity for
getting acquainted with both your
own classmates and upperclass-
men.

Remain Open

Perhaps the best advice anyone
can offer to you at this wonder-
fully hectic time is this: remain
open. Don’t miss a single thing
Bryn Mawr has to offer you, if you
can help it. Never miss a chance
‘ talk to someone, for that chance





ay not come under the same con-
itions again. Remember that the
way to learn is really through the
exchange of thought and opinion,
so don’t close yourself off too soon;

too quickly you may miss some-
thing immeasurably valuable.

We, the upperclassmen, want to
help you get settled and become
acquainted with your new school
and its people. One of the nicest
things: about Bryn Mawr is the
lack of distinction between fresh-
men and upperclasmen. From the

+very start, this is your school—

and this is a wonderful feeling,
indeed. We all know what it’s
like to be a stranger in a new
place; perhaps tHat’s the most im-
portant reason for ‘our being here
at this time—to help disperse the
feeling of strangeness. Bryn Mawr
is_not—a—frightening place; all it
asks is your eagerness to learn, your
sincerity and friendliness—and it
will give you the infinite treasures
it holds.
Welcome Again

It is a great joy to welcome you
all here. We want this to be a
happy, exciting time for you; we
want to be your friends. I know
I speak for all of us when I say

that I hope each one of you enjoys

Freshman Week as much as we
have enjoyed preparing for and
giving it to you,

Rhoda Leven, Chairman
Freshman Week Committee

The Issue that Can’t Bite Back

Sometime during the next year, you will, indubitably,
_ come tace to face with what is politely Known as an “issue”.
‘rhough actually not tar ditferent trom the familiar sort of
question invoiving points of view and requiring a solution,
tne campus issue involves a degree of urgency peculiar to it-
seit. Aside trom its inevitable relevancy to student life, the
nature of the campus issue would be hard to categorize. lt
may be almost gamesome, like Barnard’s controversy of last
spring regarding the administration’s stand on the Insuita-
puity of bermuda Shorts tor classes; or it may, on tne other
hand, be of more serious nature, as in the current Douglass
College discussion on the culpability of the five student edi-
. tors who tendered a lecture invitation to Premier Khrushchev.
it may be purely local in scope, like Self-Gov and Undergrad’s
query ot last semester on the legality of changing voting pro-
ceedures mid-election, or it may, like the decision concerning
participation in the movement supporting Southern sit-ins, be
relevant to a national controversy.

Unpredictable as is its nature and scope, the campus is-
sue, so called, has at least two distinct characteristics which
set it apart from both high school controversies and politi-
cal and social questions encountered in pre-college days. Cer-
tainly the most important of these is the fact that it must be
faced. Unlike broader social issues which require opinion only
when genuine response or commitment have been evoked, the
campus issue, arising in a limited community and usually per-
taining to policy decisions, virtually demands that everyone
take some sort of stand. Whereas it is possible to avoid form-
ing a point of view on a national or community matter des-
tined to be resolved by a remote policy-making body, it is
difficult to remain uninvolved when the policy under consider-
ation directly affects or reflects your interests.

The second distinguishing feature of the campus issue
is its apparent remoteness from the familiar standards upon
which earlier judgments have been based. Entering college,
and particularly campus life, involves an abrupt derailment
from previously unquestioned premises and prejudices. Ques-
tions are examined from points of view heretofore undream-
ed of; and the examination and discussion given to an issue
by student body and faculty frequently leave it bereft of any
apparent right and wrong. Even the right and left of an issue
tend to lose whatever absolute quality they may have possess-



_.._.ed-on_removal to a new setting, with the result that the poli-

tical values of family and home may also lose their relevence
in judging the campus issue.

To further complicate matters, the campus issue, like
most others, is seldom simple. Barnard’s dilemma of last
spring involved more than fashion; it was, in the main, a
question of whether or not the administration had the right
to dictate student dress, and, by implication, interfere in stu-
dent life. Douglass’ dispute involves more than a resolution
of censure; it embraces thé whole conflict between a loosely-
labeled academic freedom and the self-imposed obligation of
Americans to avoid abetting Soviet propaganda efforts. Tak-
_ing a stand on such-an-issue-means-more-than-deciding upon
- action to meet a particular contingency; it means declaring
adherence to a set of principles. This, considering the twin
conditions of the campus issue—its tendency to demand as-
sertion of a non-ambiguous point of view and the simultaneous
removal of familiar values and prejudices—is far from an

easy task and often entails a lot more concentration than you|*

have heretofore devoted to impersonal and non-academic sub-
jects. On the other hand, the campus issue is capable of com-
plete simplicity, an attribute itself not without its difficulties.
A m concerned only with a proceedure in a particular
campus election is as difficult to attack with objectivity as the
broader issue is with comprehension. It is, however, capable
of eliciting a heated campus reaction and it may demand the
same kind if not the same degree of concentration.
Lest all this sound too gloomy for a welcome editorial,
a Pe remembered that there is a particular beauty unique
__ the campus issue is, in the final analysis, unimportant. What-

The Inn was fun in the long run.
For some reason I remember the
good things about it, the bad are
all blended into one long attempt
bo get to sleep. I think everyone
should have the opportunity to live
in Inn-like places. In the dorms
there are only other students.who
are all really pretty much alike
when compared to a choice like we

p

{Inn-people had: delightful faculty

members like Cambitiglou, Agnew,
Markley, Mitchell, the Ayalas, Miss
Lieb and Miss Lancaster. Where
in the dorms can you get all that
and the ten of us who lived there?
Also, we had, if we so desired, the
run of every dorm for meals, social
activities and plain visiting.
The Inn, between breaks for
study and the attempts to sleep,
was a big, happy shortie-pajamaed
madhouse in a continuous search
for food and more madness. The
food part seemed to be indigenous
to the whole Inn, for, when we all
let go of our inhibitions, shed our
clothes to study in\comfort and left
doors ajar for ventilation, Mr. Mit-
chell always seemed to have an
unge to bake a cake and came trot-
ting down the hall for “a wee cup
of sugar” which is a cup all the
same when we only had cubes...
(from the Inn and the Beau and
Belle, naturally).
Walls Scaled

Once we heard “things” on the
fire escapes. It was only the slight-
ly bubbly-headed guests of one of
our academic Inn-mates, the rock-
ing-chair-rocking, harp-music-lis-
tening resident archaeologist, who
were scaling the outside walls to
avoid our notoriously curious eyes
in the halls.
The great thing about the Inn
and such places.is that they are
small, unguarded and uncared for.
The Inn kitchen is a fascinating,
forbidden and foreboding place
(visiting of which necessitates
missing a few of its elegant Main
Line meals.) There’s great mud to
squash between one’s toes halfway
between the Inn and East House.

Comfy Haven

' Miss Markley is great. Every-
body should get to know her. She
runs a. comfy little haven free of
all reminders of academic commit-
ments. But we had many evenings
of study with her all the same:
that of analyzing American cultur-
al development, via TV; and its
culinary development, via Sara Lee
cakes, pies, cookies. She did all our
rationalizing for us and convinced
us better than we could ourselves
that we needn’t study all the time.

Last year ‘Mr. Wachinger lived
with us; he was a young German
professor who is now at Harvard

going to collide with frauleins in
shorties or in soggy towels as they
emerge from a bathroom opposite
his room as he did every time he

Procedure and

President Outlines

Self-Gov’s Role

by Carolyn Goldmark
President Self-Government

On behalf of the Self-Govern-
ment Association I would like to
express the warmest welcome to
you all. We are glad to have you
with us and are sure that before
long the strangeness that you now
feel will bé\a thing of the past.

Self Government at Bryn Mawr
covers all corners of the college
campus and all phases of campus
life:--The Association was estab-
lished in 1892 to place the responsi-
bility for the conduct of the stu-
dents entirely in their own hands.
It was felt that girls of college age
were mature enough to live in a
community without outside super-
vision. Over the years a sense'of
honor and integrity have made this
possible. .

Individual Responsibility

Self Government, thus based on
an honor system, demands the ut-
most where individual respect and
responsibility are concerned. Each
student is expected to govern her
affairs, both academic and social,
according to the mores of the col-
lege community. Moreover, under
such a system each student has the
opportunity and the privilege to
decide upon the composition of
these same community guide posts.
The rules and regulations laid down
iby Self Government have stood the
test of time in caring for the needs
of all individuals. Should these at
any time become obsolete, it is the
student body that changes them.

The guide posts of the commun-
ity have been written down in the
Self Government Constitution
which you received this summer.
Regulations concerning social and
academic life are listed in this lit-
tle blue book. These rules are to
help you become asccustomed to
the college way of life, and to in-
sure that the college will function
as a academic and social unit. Now
that you are one of us you owe it
to yourself and to the entire stu-
dent body to learn these rules thor-
oughly.

Honor Expected

The Academic Honor System
makes each student responsible for
her own honor as well as for the
integrity of others. All work is to
be done on an individual and hon-
orable basis. One is expected to
complete one’s work without re-
sorting to any form of cheating
which would thus weaken the stan-
dard and. degrade the value of the
Bryn Mawr College degree. The
Social Honor System similarly ex-
pects individual honor and integ-
rity. For an act of cheating in the
social honor system is just as harm-
ful as it is in the Academic Honor
System. This is your college and
it is a college of which to be proud.
Your duty is to keep this reputa-
tion, at its best.

There are three separate struc-
tural constituents of Self Govern-
ment. Each is equally important.
One centers in the halls. Each hall
has a Hail President who sits on
the Advisory Board of Self Govern-
ment. This Board meets weekly
to consider infractions against the
Honor system, and to discuss cam-
pus problems. In each hall there is
also a Vice-President who is not
only a deputy of Self Government
but also the Hall President’s right
hand man. Permissioi Givers,
chosen by the Hall President, are
students who have demonstrated a
sound knowledge of Self Govern-



_}ment rules, a feeling for the eam-

‘pus, integrity, and who are capable
are indispensable. They will sign

Organization Leaders Explain

Plans of Year
Undergrad Head
Revegqls Plans

by Betsy Frantz, ’61,
President Undergraduate
Association
I am happy ‘to have this oppor-
tunity to expound on some of the
projects planned by the Undergrad-
uate Association for the coming
academic » year. We anticipate

another busy and fruitful year for
the Association and hope to have
the support of each of you, as an _
ipso facto member.

Throughout our work we shall
be concerned with the implementa-
tion of the reorganization of-under-
graduate activities and associa-
tions which was enacted last year.
We shall be the first group to
carry through a full year’s program
within the framework of the new
structure, so we shall be watchful
for omissions or necessary revi-
sions.

A major project for Undergrad
this fall will be an evaluation of
the election system on the Bryn
Mawr campus. In particular we
shall be considering methods of
nomination other than the straw
balloting which we currently em-
ploy. Should an alternate means
be deemed advisable we shail ask
the Legislature tto consider such
a change.

The Activities Board of the As-
sociation is planning to increase
the social activities of the campus.
We hope to initiate informa] open
houses in Goodhart on Friday
evenings.

Last year the reorganization
plan authorized the Executive
Board to use Common Treasury
funds to bring an eminent guest
to the campus for several days. In
the spring the oard _ invited
Robert Frost who spent two days
at Bryn Mawr, during which time
he read some of his poetry and
met informally with groups of
students. We shall be continuing
this program this year, and hope
to be able to sponsor several such
speakers.

In all of our work this year, we
shall welcome freshman _partici-
pation. You will be electing tem-
porary class representatives to
Undergrad, who will help to keep —
you informed of the activities of
the Association. We hope that
you wil] always feel free to offer
suggestions to them or to your
hall reps to Undergrad. We furth-
er encourage you to attend the
open meetings of the Boards, that
you may become well acquainted
with the work of the Association.



adept at understanding and apply-
ing the Self Government rules. Use
the Permission Givers, ask them

Finally in each hall, and of no less
importance, are the students—you!

‘You too must learn the rules and

regulations, understand them, use
them and believe in them, for they
are Bryn Mawr. ~*

There is a second unit—the Ex-
ecutive Board (which also meets
weekly). This is comprised of col-
lege elected officers, the President
(myself), the ‘Vice-President (B. J.
Baker, ’61), the Secretary (Sue
Johnson, ’62), and seven class of-
ficers—your class will be electing
two rotating members later this
fall... This Board resolves problems,
formulates policies and decides on
the nature of penalties. The Exec-
utive Board reserves the right to
recommend expulsion should the in-
fraction make it necessary.

Alliance Welcomes Politically-minded,
Invites All To Lectures, Discussions

by Hanna H. W. Woods
President of Alliance

The ‘Alliance for Political Affairs
wholeheartedly welcomes you, the
Class of ’64, and invites you to
join in our varied program of ac-
tivities,

Today’s continued cold-war con-
flict, the struggle for the U.N.
and the uncommitted nations, the
election year battle betweeif Dem-
ocrat and Republican are some of
the major problems which con-
front us. The vital importance-—to
each of us of politics and world
events cant not be news to any
Bryn Mawr freshman, The Alli-
ance was organized to stimulate
political interest at Bryn Mawr,
to channel such interest into pro-
grams on current events and to
provide opportunities for construc-
tive political activity.

On the agenda for this year, the
Alliance has planned a regular
series of Current Events programs
on (Monday evenings at 7:15.
Speakers will discuss timely issues
with an informal question period
to follow. ‘A number of times dur-
ing the year there will be “big
speakers,” and in the spring, Al-
liance, Interfaith and League will
sponsor an intercollegiate confer-
ence with several’ speakers and
panels expanding a single theme.

The central organizational core,
the Executive Board, plans and
coordinates the diverse activities
which fall under the jurisdiction
of Alliance. The clubs, each one
virtually independent, each with
its own officers and particular
functions, include Young Demo-
crats and Young Republicans, De-
bate, Discussion and International
Relations.

Work and Humor
Make Up News’
Offer to Reporters

by Kristine Gilmartin,
Copy Editor

The slogan in my home town is
“Tf you read the News, you know!”
In the case of the Bryn Mawr
College News an amplification
might be made: “If you write for
the News you really know.”

Being a News reporter has many
advantages to be weighed against
the inflexible irritant of the week-
ly deadline for the article you
haven’t even thought about yet.
Your name on the masthead and an
occasional byline give you a cer-
tain stature in the college not to
be achieved in any other way. In
addition, the gossip possibilities
are unlimited.

News staff members know what
administration, faculty, and stu-
dents are going to do almost be-
fore they do and certainly before
most of the college does. Not
mere trifling social gossip either,
tasty as that may be, but genuine
scoops on what exciting lecturers
are coming and which Bryn Mawr-
ters have recently won fellowships.

Besides the weekly article, being
a News reporter entails a “work
night” once each week when proof-
reading and headline composing
magically get done in the midst of
pistachio ice cream cones and the
ubiquitous coffee. The nearness of
the Soda Fountain is a tremendous
boon to News writers and may
certainly be counted as one of the
fringe benefits of working for the
paper.

“Work night,” however, is really
a misnomer, for it is the most de-
lightful of excuses for putting off
studying. News staff and board
members are some of the spright-
lier gals around the college, even
at the midnight before press date,
and their witty and- frantic com-
pany makes even an article listing
the latest gifts to the college pro-
duce a ~-chuckle (However comma
at about time of the first five
hyphen year plan comma... .)

To try out for the College News
you should attend the announced
“open” meeting to see firsthand
e|how business is conducted. Then
,|submit three articles: one a news
article, the second a feature ar-
ticle, the third whatever you wish,
[perhaps even a criticism of the
News.

League’s Program Includes Projects
For Volunteer Social Service In Area

projects within whose scope we
know you will each find a way to
exercise YOUR particular interests.
Don’t let those interests stagnate!
Become - an active ‘member in
League and its programs. Their
success depends on YOU.

If you can recall from your
freshman _ handbook, one of
League’s main phases is social ser-
vice to the community, on a vol-
unteer basis in such institutions as
mental hospitals, orphanages, and
reform schools where you work di-
rectly with the patients. You will
have an opportunity to meet with
the heads of the various projects,
learn more about the actual work
in each and plan your participa-
tion at the League tea. Watch for
announcements of the tea and DO
COME.

Beyond the work in the projects,
League is planning a very inter-
esting. schedule of speakers, pan-
els, field trips, and a conference.

For those who have an interest
in someday having a career in so-
cial work and would like to put
this interest to a test, we are ar-
ranging a program whereby they
meet with people in the field and
even plan for summer employment.

Another new aspect of League
this year will be a special film pro-
gram. For a very minimal fee,
you will be able to enjoy many ex-
cellent films, the proceeds of
which will be used for a number of
charitable purposes.

We wish you a very pleasant

year and look forward to seeing

you ail at the League.

by Kathleen Livezey
President of Interfaith

The Interfaith Association offers
opportunities for girls of various
backgrounds and beliefs to share
and learn from one another in dis-
cussions, lectures, and worship ser-
vices. Interfaith events for this
year will be highlighted by the ad-
dition of two new programs: 1) a
once-a-month lecture series of-per-
sons outstanding in their own fields
speaking on some aspect of religi-
ous faith, and 2) Sunday evening
meetings for silent worship in the
Music Room of Goodhart.

The various study groups on cam-
pus—Young Friends, Jewish Study
Group, Catholic Discussion Group,
and Student Christian Movement—
will join with Interfaith in present-
ing the outstanding monthly speak-
ers. Dr. Paul Tillich, a noted
Protestant theologian and Pro
fessor at Harvard University
will be the first of these speakers,
appearing in Goodhart auditorium
on October 21st. Will Herberg, pro-
fessor of sociology, philosephy and
theology at Drew Seminary, and
formerly associated with the labor
movement, will be the featured
Goodhart speaker for November.

Silent Worship

Attendance at the half an hour
period for silent worship on Sunday
evenings at 7:15 pm. is voluntary.
The meetings are open to all stu-
dents and faculty interested in par-
ticipating ‘in community worship
and meditation. Mrs. Walter’ K.
Michels, professor of Latin and ad-

visor to the Interfaith Association
will open the first period of silence
this Sunday evening, October 2,
speaking on,the religious. heritage
of Bryn Mawr College and the na-
ture of silent worship.
Local Cooperation ¢

Other facets of Interfaith activi-
ties include cooperation with local
churches and synagogues. Lists of
the names and addresses of the
nearest places of worship and the
name of the upperclassmen escort-
ing freshmen to the various church-
es this Sunday morning are posted
on each of the dorm bulletin boards.

Interfaith has also been respon-
sible for arranging seating and hos-
pistality for Jewish students in
Reform and Conservative temples in
the area for Friday night’s Kol
Nidre service.

Lectures. and Discussion

Arts Council Head Explains Function
Of Organization, Plans Of New Year

by Betsy Levering,
President Arts Council

Arts Council is a comparatively
new organization, dating back lit-
tle more than ‘five years; so new,
in fact, that it was only last year
that Arts (Council was admitted to
the Executive Board of Undergrad,
marking it as a major campus or-
ganization.

Most other clubs and councils
on campus (boast: a longer history,
an honorable boast because it
testifies to a lengthy and sustain-



ed interest in the activities they



A. A. Welcomes Even ‘Uncoordinated’
To Join In Hockey, Lacrosse, Bridge

by Marjorie McHenry,
President Athletic Association
To an incoming freshman, the

‘name of the Athletic Association

undoubtedly suggests pictures of
wildly athletic and muscle-bound
females, clad in rugged gym tunics
and hockey shoes, galloping down
the hockey field, leaping across the
tennis court or bouncing over the
basketball floor. However — not
necessarily so — for this is only
half the picture (and a somewhat
exaggerated one at that!). While
such figures may certainly be
found at Bryn Mawr, taking part
in the activities of the Athletic As-
sociation, its activities include many
other areas of campus life Which
might not be so emphatically term-
ed ‘athletic’ and confined to the
“eoordinated” individuals among
the student body.

As the handbook says, the A. A.
“through its board and council,
promotes and encourages athletic
and recreational activities on cam-

|pus.” The athletic and the recrea-|Applebee* Barn and Rhoads Farm

tional, then, cover fairly wide areas
of campus life and the A. A. has
always attempted to include many
people interested in many types of



things in its functions. There are



294213:

first of all the sports — hockey,
tennis, swimming, volleyball, la-
crosse, etc. — most of which have
varsity teams. Going out for these
teams is not nearly as formidable
a procedure as it may seem; often
a beginner in a sport has found
herself_on-a_team,-and-all-who-are
even remotely interested in the
sports are urged to give them a
try. The fun (and exercise!) which
they provide are undoubtedly worth
the effort, and also at the end of
the year awards are given for the
points accumulated.

People with not as vigorous
tastes can find themselves inter-
ested in one of the several clubs
which come under the jurisdiction
of A.A.—the Outing Club, which
often takes ski or bicycle trips with
other colleges (mens’), and the
Synchronized Swimming Club,
which has come a long way in or-
ganization in the past few years,
as has the Dance Club with modern
dance. Use can also be made of

for parties and picnics; these are
under control of the Athlétic As-|
sociation and can be used almost

foster. The lively interest in the
antic and plastic arts which
brought Arts Council into being
must be regarded as something
new. Or rather, interest in the
arts is not new, but the widespread
and strong interest now found
among college students is, What-

ever the reason for this—the Beat-
niks, the H-bomb, the rise of the
European artist-philosopher—Arts
‘Council happily finds that it scarce-
ly need propagandize for the arts
at all; its audience is ready-made.
And it’s sure that a high and ris-
ing interest makes an _ exciting
climate for an organization. ‘

Arts Council now’has the prob-
lem, however, of preventing itself
from becoming too much of an
organization. It was formed by
a group of students who had no
claim to official status except a
collective, vigorous interest. This
handful of students who consti-
tuted themselves the Arts Council
asked for a little money—a very
little — from Undergrad, and so
came under its protection. Now
Arts Council is independent, has a
college-elected president and for-
mal hall representatives. If its
problem once was to forge an or-
ganization out of a hodge-podge of
active people, its problem now is
to keep from being stifled by its
own organization: Like any or-
ganization, Arts Council runs the
risk of committing suicide, even
while a great deal of interest ex-
ists outside the organization itself,
by formalization and a static mem-
bership.

The chief countermeasure, of
course, is open membership, This
means, in practice, that anyone
who attends meetings—and anyone
}+may—who shows a-continuous-in--
terest and is willing to make an
poster at least. is
sidered an active and voting mem-

Haverford’s Courses, Culture Men
Brighten Brun Mawn’s Environment

In the mind of man, Bryn Mawr
has long been classified as a
women’s college, yet a few random
campus scenes may cause one to
question this time-worn belief.
Chatting on dorm steps, sitting
on. lawn blankets, studying in
library seats, taking notes at
classroom desks are men, some
bearded, some dungareed, some in
almost ivy-league dress. They ar-
rive in cars, on skooters and bikes;
many even walk; and then there’s
the hearse .. . Are they Bryn
Mawr day “students ? Well, not
quite (there seem to be even more
of them around after dark). Ac-
tually, these characters are “Hav-
erford Men.” They reside on a
small, busy campus about a mile
from Bryn Mawr, a twenty or
thirty minute walk under normal
conditions, but ’tis rumored that
it can be done in ten to fifteen
when necessary.

The Haverford campus is aes-
thetically pleasing as well as cul-
_turally generous. Its quadrangle

of principle dormitories is flanked |

by spreading foliage. Haverford
further boasts an active and tal-
ented drama club, an excellent
singing group, a radio station, and
a cricket team. In spring, student
interest is divided between cricket
and the traditional, if slightly
symbolic, sport of Maypole theft.
Football is not emphasized as much
as either of these activities.

Bryn Mawr and Haverford have

take courses at Haverford if the
course is unavailable at Bryn
Mawr, if the home classes cannot
fit into her schedule, or if she can
think up some other valid-sound-
ing excuse. Haverford enjoys the
same privileges on our campus.
In addition, we share the benefit
of concerts and visiting lecturers
and some clubs combine their ac-
tivities, too: for example, the two
drama groups join to present three
major annual productions, and
language clubs. often-meet~togeth-
er. On another level, Haverford
has always been “the traditional
date” for a Bryn Mawr girl—to
borrow a phrase from a magazine
—and, since Haverford dorms are
open to women in the evening, the
study date is another important
local tradition.

Thus, though a girls’ school on
the surface, Bryn Mawr gains both
socially and academically from her
neighbor to the south.



Bureau Hunts Student Jobs,
Facilitates Allowance-padding

Although almost every Bryn
Mawrter is interested in
increasing the amount of mon-
ey she has available for the
niceties and necessities of college
life, the difficulties of job hunting
in a new community might seem to
preclude thé possibility of allow-
ance padding.

Actually, this is hardly the case.
(Miss Susan iL. Blake, and the Bur-
eau of Recommendations are al-
ways happy to help girls looking
for part timé or temporary em-
ployment. The office of the Bureau
is located in the basement of Tay-
lor Hall and can be reached by us-
ing the steps inside the building at
the corner near Denbigh Hall.

Though there are not very many
permanent part time jobs available
through the Bureau, there are
many temporary ones. Showing

and socially. A Bryn Mawrter may

Lost Quarters, Power Shut-downs
Complicate Matter Of Cleanliness

Freshmen who have been wonder-
ing how they will dispose of the
dirty laundry even now piling up
on the closet floor, may be relieved
to hear that Bryn Mawr’s provi-
sions for its students embrace even
the academically uninspiring and
include, mirabile dictu, washing
machines. oa

Although possibly not adequate
for the growing needs of the col-
lege, they can prove somewhat
helpful in times of dire need, should
those times just happen to fall be-
tween the hours of 9 and.5. (This
is not to imply that 9 to 5 isn’t suf-
ficient choice of time for washing.
It’s: just that 700 students, all of
whom change their socks daily, are
enough to keep 2 dozen machines
chugging away at top speed with
nary a second’s rest between cy-
cles.)

There are washing machines in
Merion, Pem and Rock basements,
all available 7 days per week. The
power goes off at 5 whether the
machines are ful] or not, so, since
a soapy wash is hard ‘to carry and
doesn’t dry very fast, it is advis-

the contents of one laundry bag—
irrespective of the interval between
washdays or superficial estimation
of the capacity of the bag.

Before loading a machine, it is
absolutely necessary to flip the lid
up and down a few times, for
should the previous cycle not be
completed, not only may a quarter
be lost, but even worse, your bun-
dle of clothes may be dried with-
out ever having been washed!

After flipping the lid, insert
clothes “fluffily” (as per direc-
tions) and*turn on machine. Leave
laundry bag (or pillowcase) on top
of the machine, so, should you fail
to return at the exact moment the
cycle is completed, some harried
soul may think to throw the major-
ity of your clothes into the bag in-
stead of onto the newspaper-cov-
ered table or floor. Take soap with
you when you leave.

Return to collect clean, or rath-
er, washed, clothes after 45 min-
utes of browsing in the bookshop.

and trudge to your room, stopping
at intervals to recover the sock

Places To Hide Or Study

tains, or their roommates (al-
ready?); or 3.) simply desire a
pleasant change of scenery, a com-
paratively comfortable chair, and
Quiet.

Naturally there is the library
which has, aside from the main
reading room, the reference and
reserve book rooms, a variety of
other more intriguing corners, i. e.,
the Periodical Room, the Art Study
Room, the West Wing, Quita Wood-
ward Room (best chairs on campus,
soft, tranquillizing; nicest variety
of attention-diverting books, and,
luckily, to sooth guilty consciences
—no studying allowed) and some of
the department conference rooms.

Reading Places

Aside from M. Commie Tharus,
there are at least four other strict-
ly reading-places on campus; Dal-
ton’s math and psych libraries;
Park’s chemistry and bio libraries,
(the bio building also has a nice
lounge); and Cartref, across the
street from Dalton has an Inter-
faith reading room for purposes of
meditation, relaxation and escape.

Goodhart Unlimited

And then there is Goodhart; it
has many rooms (some not yet dis-
covered). which when not in use
for lectures, rehearsals, and meet-
ings, are perfect for almost any-
thing; those already charted are
the Music Room, the Common
Room, the Roost, the Undergradu-
ate Room (and the soda fountain.)
Some of these are too good for
studying, but great for napping.

Finally, there are the Ville, Hav-
erford and your own dorm (which
how should be empty) where one
is_sure-to-find-a-niche to suitone’s
every whim. Bryn Mawr is a great
place for varieties, be it in people,
projects, moods, or the rooms to

opes, and typing papers are among
the most common jobs, but by far
the biggest demand for student em-
ployees comes from the family-
raising populations. of nearby com-
mitnities.

The Bureau receives dozens of
calls each day from parents re-
questing student baby sitters; the
student may pick her evenings or

week’s employment any day the

Bureau is open. Hours for picking

up babysitting assignments ~ ares

11:00 to 1:00 and 2:00 to 5:00 Mon-
day through Thursday; from 9:00
on Fridays, and on Saturday morn-
ings.

Other temporary positions are
announced on the bulletin board
outside the Bureau, on the black-
board just at the foot of the stairs,
and on mimeographed lists posted
prominently in each hall.

Anyone wishing to have her name
on file for any type of work can re-
quest a form from:éMiss Blake
indicating job preferences and qual-
ifications.

Although summer may seem ‘far
away and senior year even farther,
the Bureau of Recommendations
also has excellent facilities for
placing students in summer jobs,
in camps, hotels, or with families;
and for helping seniors with post
graduation plans.

go there and relax, or as a place
to have parties or any type of ga-
thering.

Working through the Council
(composed of representatives to
the A. A. from the different halls
and the four classes) and the
Board (the officers of the organi-
zation), the Athletic Association
tries to poke its fingers into many
other pies on campus. It’s really a
very flexible organization, and is
apt to promote anything from
bridge tournaments to baseball
games with Haverford. In the past
A. A. has shown movies, sponsored
square dances, held playdays with
several other colleges in the area,
organized inter-hall and inter-class
games in the different sports, and
has always opened the gym on Sun-
day afternoons for people who want
to use the facilities. It is very much
hoped that these activities will con-
tinue and expand this year, for it
seems that there are almost unlim-
ited opportunities for things to be
done which would be fun for many
people. The Board and/or Council
will be meeting almost every week
at an established time, and it would
be wonderful for anyone with sug-
gestions or ideas to come; hall _re-
presentatives also stand for the
purpose of carrying ideas to the
A. A. and soon freshmen hall repre-
sentatives will be elected.

As ‘News’ Views

Fashion Magazine

Since Mademoiselle magazine has
announced its intentions of publish-
ing, some time this year, a detailed
study of life at Bryn Mawr, The
College News has come to consider
it entirely in its province to do an
article on Mademoiselle. Toward
this end we have selected the Aug-
ust College Issue for examination,
believing, despite the protestations
of a few who insist that all their
friends look as pictured, that we.
can point out certain differences
between dife at Bryn Mawr and that
depicted on jthe glossy pages.

This year’s College Issue does
manage to go beyond the classic
image of the bermuda-shorted co-
ed artfully arranged in her dormi-
tory room with three record albums
neatly tacked to the rug; it, instead,
introduces a note of harsh realism
by moving its setting to the library.
Here, however, the first major dis-
crepancy arises; it must be pointed
out, if sadly, that all books in the
M: Carey Thomas Memorial Library
are not leather bound.

The Outfit Dazzles

Proceeding to the subject of
dress, wé come first to the photog-
rapher’s favorite—the outfit. Those
depicted are colorful: orange, pur-
ple, electric blue plaids. If it is
hypothetically assumed that a girl
buys-three new outfits in three col-
ors, it must then be safe to deduce
that, for variety’s sake she will
eventually try to mix them up.
Here it must be noted that Bryn
Mawrters are not often seen in
orange skirt and purple vest, or
purple skirt and electric blue paid
sweater But this, of course, is all
hypothetical.

Sweaters Still Shaggy

Some of the more direct pro-
nouncements on college mores are
less startling and simply require
interpretation to apply to Bryn
Mawr life. For instance the edict’
that “bigness, looseness. . . and
shagginess” are ‘vital concomit-
ants of this year’s sweaters sim-
ply means that ‘+hand-me-downs
from doting older brothers will be
as prevalent as ever, while notice
that full length evening gowns have
returned for “big parties” seems,
at least to our translators, best ex-
plained by acceptance of the decline
and fall of the “big party” so defin-
ed on the Bryn Mawr scene.

fittings, course-selection, and fur-

introduction-to life at Bryn Mawr
will not, however, be completed
until Monday night. At that time,
after the first day of classes, will
come the somewhat spectacular
first exposure-to the Bryn Mawr
tradition proper. This, Parade
Night, will herald the beginning
of the new semester and launch the
year’s’ rivalry between the fresh-
men and their traditional antago-
nists, the sophomore class.

and manifest utility have entrench-
ed its status as standard operating
equipment and made its presence
on mantle or coffee table as de rig-

Despite its ubiquity the tea set
has no standard form; it may be
a sterling silver heirloom, a sou-

sub-freshmen a rather anomolous

holds become the means of enter-
taining and the ostensible raison
détre of the party.

Happily enough, a pot of tea is
an automatic excuse for a gather-
ing and generally the inspiration

for good conversation When feel-|.

ings are low there is no better
balm for the spirit than a full ket-
tle and the company it attracts;
when spirits are high nothing is
quite as fitting as to call in half
the dorm to celebrate over tea,
cookies, donuts, and/or crackers.
By the end of this year even the
most ardent supporters of Coca-
Cola will indubitably have become
veteran tea drinkers and will have
learned to wield with aplomb hot
kettle, china pot and tea strainer;



they will be able to detect at a sip

the differences between Darjeeling
and Jasmine, Lapsang Souclfong
and Formosa Oolong, Lipton and
Salada. Lastly, and most surpris-
ing to themselves, they will find
that pouring a cup of tea comes to
mind immediately as standard op-
erating procedure in the face of
virtually every contingency.



B. M.C. Joins Other Colleges
For New Experimental Tests

The Experimental Division _of
the Educational Testing Services
which administers the Standard
College” Board Examinations has
asked Bryn ‘Mawr for its cooper-

ation in a new project. The aim
of the experimental program is to



‘Fine’ Tradition Finds Quorum Missing

To the person unfamiliar with
the most controversial of all Bryn
Mawr traditions, the required and
fined meeting, an explanation there-
of may be in order. Just as its
etymological derivation suggests,
the required and fined meeting de-
notes the method which has proved
reasonably successful in bringing
Bryn Mawrters out en masse to
class meetings The frequency with
which these meetings are held is
said to have made it virtually un-
necessary to accomplish anything



Social life at Bryn Mawr differs
from that of many other residential
colleges because it is located with-
in a half hour’s ride from a
good-sized city. Students, not
dependent on college-sponsored ac-
tivities, can easily avail themselves
iof the entertainment opportunities
of Philadelphia.

A primary duty of every fresh-
man is to reserve a couple of free
. Saturdays for an unguided tour of
~ the city. It is easy to navigate in
Philadelphia because the streets are
numbered. Take the local into
town and get off either at 30th
street or Suburban station, which
is at 16th street. From there take
a Market Street bus down to 4th
St .and Independence Hall; be sure
to see the Betsy Ross house and
other local landmarks. (Musts ‘in-
clude the Franklin Institute at
19th St., which houses, among oth-
er things, a planetarium and Ame-
lia Earhart’s plane; the Rodin Mu-
seum, and the Philadelphia Art Mu-
seum,

Two important feabures of Phil-
adelphia culture are the concerts
by the Orchestra and the openings
‘of pre-Broadway plays. The Orch-
estra offers two series of concerts,
the Monday night and the weekend.
The latter are Friday afternoon at
2 and Saturday night at 8:30. Rep-
resentatives from the Academy of
Music come to school to take orders
for season tickets.

Plays open in town all year. Op-
enings Jast year included such hits
as. Fiorello! and The Tenth Man.
Even if you don’t always pick a
hit it can be fun to see the oft
times disastrous conjunction of
good actors with bad play or vice-
versa. .

grams _and_of the plays. .appear||

at any one meeting.

A sophomore who has hopes of
becoming a Calculus major has an-
nounced that if 175 students are
absent from each meeting the soph-
omore class collects roughly eighty-
eight dollars (at 50 cents per head)
per meeting “With money like
this,” she declared, “we won’t need
to fear excessive tuition rises. We’ll
just establish a fund.”

The primary discussion topic of
each meeting is, generally, whether
or not those present can vote them-
selves a quorum. Since this ques-
tion has never been successfully
resolved, meetings for the purpose
of voting on whether or not re-
quired and fined meetings should
be continued have been continually
postponed. The prospect for this
year, according to informed sourc-
es, is that in the twenty minutes
between 1:30 and 1:50 they will still
abound, taking precedence over
bridge and pounce (two Bryn Mawr
sports) and offering a pleasant in-
terim for organized confusion and
letter writing.



help develop a more successful
and useful aptitude test for pre-
freshmen.

The weakness of the present
testing system is not that it does
not divid@students among the ap-
propriate universities but that it
does not discriminate very accur-
ately among students in the high-
est 100 or 150 points range, It
is, therefore, not a good test of
how students will produce after
they get to college. For example,
Miss Geffcken pointed out, stu-
dents who receive scores in the
high 700s on the S.A.T.’s often
graduate in the middle of their
class. Predictions of how well a

student actually will perform can
in no way ibe made from the en-
trance exams.

The first step in the experiment
was the special aptitude test ad-
ministered to all freshmen on Sat-
urday morning, October 1, for two
and a half hours. The same test
will be given at eight other col-
leges also chosen to participate in
this program. The names of the
other schools have not been disclos-
ed but they are all resentative
institutions of a similar nature
and academic level as Bryn Mawr.
The test itself is a general apti-
tude test similar to the present
exam.

“A follow-up program will con-
tinue for at least the first year.
The Dean’s office plans to send in
reports of how each _ individual
student is doing through June, —
Further steps in the study are still
undetermined,
