project. ,
Mrs. Manning championed the

policy of having comparatively few
people do honors since she claimed
that not everyone has the degree
of organization, perspective and
confidence necessary te, execute this
project successfully.

The discussion then turned to
group conferences held with sen-
iors in preparation for comprehen-
sive exams. The present trend in
most departments is to examine
several specific topics rather than
devoting the time solely to a gen-
eral review.

Descending to the level of all
undergraduates, the topic of class
jiscussion was then considered.
Joan Parker began the discussion
by commenting on the surprising
lack of interchange of ideas in
classes. This observation seems
even more justified in view of the
fact that seventy-five percent of
the classes number from one to
fifteen people which should con-
tribute to intimacy and informal-
ity.

Sylvia Hewitt described the sit-
uation in a general way by observ-
ing that usually at the Freshman
Jevel there is much class partici-
pation since these novices. feel that
they “know it all.” In the Sopho-

| more and Junior year there is a
sudden realization of one’s lack of
knowledge which is accompanied
by a desire to learn by listening to

others. By the time one becomes a
Senior one manages to summon up
enough courage to make timid sug-
gestions.

‘From the comments of the rest
of the pariel it became evident that
there is much more discussion at
the Freshman level in subjects such
as economics or history than. in
the sciences since in the former
one expresses mainly ideas; yet,
in the latter one must first acquire
a ‘sound foundation of basic facts.
In physics Mr. Pruett said that
they had tried to induce discussion
in the first year course without too
much success. Furthermore, they
found it difficult to channel the
limited participation in a _ con-
structive direction,

Lastly, the difficulty which some
students have in discussing marks,
ideas or problems with a professor
was brought up. However, Mrs.
Manning pointed out that the fac-
ulty is often just as hesitant to
approach a student whom. they
think is having difficulty. It was
generally agreed that the dis-
turbance caused the professor by
such interruption is, in the major-
ity of cases, far less than the mu-
tual benefit derived from ironing
out problems when they first erupt.

diagonal lines and turned doorways
quietly enhanced the action of the
play. The excellent properties lent
a polished touch to this very pro-

Mr. Butman did a fine job of stag-

ture.

of exhaustion time are greatly
varied, all forsee, according to Dr.
Watson, such a time in the absence
of new sources of energy.

New sources of energy to re-
place the fossil fuels, coal and oil,
are, however, a bright spot in the
future of industry. Nuclear fission
is at the present time a reality
with fusion and solar heat pos-
sible future developments.

The rising population and a ris-
ing standard of living for that
population are. also elements to
be considered here. According to
Mr. Watson, the United States
probably could obtain enough
uranium to supply present fuel
needs but a need for other natural
resources might still persist unless
substitutes were found. In addi-
tian.« if ol) energy sources follow
» similar curve, there would also
be an exhaustion time for nuclear
materials.

If, in Mr.. Watson’s opinion, an-
other world disaster were to occur,
our present industrial society might
never be able to return to its pre-
sent standard.

‘Fossils’ Vanquish
Geology Students

Geology 101 students met and
were defeated by their instructors
on rocky ground (i.e. the basket-
ball court), Tuesday night, May 7
by a score of 10-8. The event pro-
vided for both participants and
spectators (all ten of them) good
humor, good sportsmanship and,
in addition, good basketball!

Moira MacVeagh was high scor-
er for the students with four points
while Dr. Edward H. Watson in
the last two minutes of the game
provided the winning basket for
the “Fossils”.

The “Fossils” mascot “Brandy”
and the enthusiastic response of
the spectators, who several times
found it necessary to cling to the
wall to avoid the*scuffle added to



Jthe general merriment.

dents are expected not to sign out
to the home of a friend living in
the vicinity for an afternoon or
evening, in order to drive a car.
No student should plan to drive
herself back to college after an
absence, and then to leave the car
at a nearby residence in care of a
friend or in a nearby garage, nor
should she plan to have a car avail-
able in order to drive herself when
leaving college for a weekend or

In case of an emergency, any
student may consult the Dean
about exceptions to the above rule.
An emergency such as family ill-

for granting exceptions to the rule.
Exceptions will not be granted on

Major Subject

Continued from Page 3

One of the four music majors,
Paula Coudert, presented a picture
of the major in Bryn Mawr’s new-
est department. The advantages of
working in this newly organized
field is the individual attention
given to the student, as well as

the “excitement of majoring in a

department in the stage of dynamic
development.” A combination of
history and theory courses charac-
terize the department, thus effect-
ing the important compromise be-
tween excess creativity and too
much concentration on texts.

Miss Gardiner then represented
the sciences, outlining the work
from the first year course, where
an attempt is made to integrate
the science with the students’ other
interests as well as laying the
foundation for further work, on
up to honors work. The student is
encouraged to orient herself in a
particular field and to devise her
own experiments, - -thus getting a
taste of original and creative work.
Miss Gardiner felt that this ‘ham-
mering out of ideas of the hard
anvil of the mind’ is true of any
advanced work.

The discussion was then thrown
open to the group of parents and
students. Inevitably, it culminated
in that ever-debated topic of orals.
Also inevitably, no conclusion was
reached.
