Pres. McBride Announces Increase
Of Ten Percent In College Enrollment

. At the opening assembly of Bryn
Mawr’s 72nd academic year Presi-
dent Katharine McBridé announced
that the undergraduate school will
increase by approximately ten per
cent of its present enrollment,
which is 631 undergraduates and
over 167 graduate students.

After welcoming the returning
faculty members and announcing
new appointments and courses,
Miss McBride explained that the
increase in enrollment will require
additions to the present faculty,
the completion of the Science Cen-
ter, and a new residence hall for
students.

It is believed that a moderate
increase can be made without los-
ing the values of a small college
where members of the college com-
munity know each other and where
the student’s individual interests
can be respected. Miss McBride
linked the coming changes to the
serious need for additional oppor-
tunity” for able students, both “in
liberal and in professional educa-
tion.

Education will be in short supply
as a result of two forces, Miss Mc-
Bride said. The first is the in-
crease in population and the second
is the development of the profes-
sions, industries and all the forces

” leading to increasing complexity in

the demands of society on its mem-
bers.

“The special urgency of the pres-
ent is that we prepare to educate
greater numbers, recognizing that
staff and facilities are limited and
recognizing equally clearly that



Juniors To Show
Medieval Musical

The juniors are not only present-
ing the traditional musical, but
also offering a panacea to all stu-
dents suffering from various aca-
demic ailments. The show is rec-
ommended to all English majors
struggling with Chaucer, to all mu-
sicians fighting the elements of
counterpoint, to all scholars of Me-
dieval history, and to Mr. Le-
Blanc’s logic students.

One might think the Junior Show
was an extension of Bryn Mawr’s
educational program, but that. is
not the case-at all. In presenting
Pristina Perplexed or The Lady’s
not. for Learning, the juniors, hav-
ing reached their superior age and
wisdom, are defining the utopia of
education.

The play is “a medieval immoral-
ity play in terse verse.” With a
production lavish, a cast of thou-
sands and an unconventional kick
chorus, the age of chivalry returns,
with minstrels and knights, a clois-
ter and a nun, romance, a hero and
all but a dragon. Nothing has ri-
valed the Junior Show since the
middle ages.

despite these handicaps the test of
quality will be the first test each
institution has to meet,” Miss Mc-
Bride continued.

The main advantage in increas-
ing the sizd is that new faculty.
members’ will permit the addition
of-new work.. The danger lies in
the threat to the respect for and
interests of the individual and to
the nature of the group within
which the individual functions.

In view of the needs and the
shortages there are a multitude of
jobs for the educated woman, who
can fill vital positions by convert-
ing what would otherwise be wast-
ed time to valuable service.

Rudolf Serkin, right, with piano tuner, preparing for concert.



By Martha Bridge

Rudolf Serkin gave a piano re-
cital last Friday evening as part
of a program in commemoration of
Thomas Mann, and the tribute paid

jto the great author by Mr. Ser-

kin’s performance was subtlely ap-
propriate and satisfying. For, like
Mann’s writing, Mr. Serkin’s play-
ing is distinguished not only for
its beautiful precision and thought-

ful detail, but also for its illumi-
nating imaginative freedom.

‘ Most immediately striking in Mr.
Serkin’s performance was his tech-
nical ‘sureness.. In .spite:of such
handicaps as a squeaking pedal and
the puzzling acoustical distortions
of Goodhart Hall, his tone was
clean and strong; his dynamic dis-
tinctions were so varied in color
that at times it was difficult for
the listener to believe that only one
instrument was being played.

‘ Mr. Serkin’s program began with
three Impromptus by Schubert
(Op. 142), compositions of decep-
tive simplicity. Mr. Serkin wisely
chose to play them simply and ly-
rically, emphasizing the essentially
vocal quality of Schubert’s melodic
lines. Most’ surprising was the
freshness:-which Mr. Serkin gave
the familiar A flat: Impromptu
through‘ his ‘intelligent use of the
delicates contrasts in the Allegret-
to mood.

“The highlight of the concert was,
however, Mr. Serkin’s performance
of the Sonata in A flat, Op. 110,
by Beethoven. Mr. Serkin brought
to this work, one of the latest and
most difficult of the piano sonatas,
a thorough understanding of the
rapid: dynamic transitions and the
simultaneous contrasts in mood—
almost'‘in ‘the nature of musical
paradoxés—which are so character-
istic of ‘Beethoven’s later period.
In particular, the last movement of

this | sonata, which | had always

tion of two. totally different move-
ments, was clarified by Mr. Ser-
kin’s playing. He played as though
he-had a concept of the relation-
ship of the Adagio, which produces
the effect of a recitative and aria,
to the Fuga, through the insistent
chords which connect them. Under-
lying the sweetly querulous line of

the aria, the chords grow out of
the bass and lead into the quiet
theme of the fugue, which in turn
builds higher and higher until it
again emerges in those repeated
chords. Mr. Serkin’s emphasis on
the returning pattern succeeded in
bringing to light the internal con-
sistency of the musical idea.

This reviewer was least’ impress-
ed by Mr. Serkin’s furiously ro-
mantic rendition of Schumann's
Etudes Symphoniques, in which the
performer’s deep sympathy with
the composer brought out clearly
the faults of the latter. Perhaps
this, too,’is a tribute to Mr. Ser-
kin’s honesty as a musician. At
any rate, this was thorough-going
Schumann, tender and sustained at
times, intense and nervous almost
to the point of percussiveness at
others.

Mr. Serkin’s stage presence was
dramatic. His coat tails flying be-
hind him, he not only played on
the Steinway, he danced with it;
he attacked the keyboard with fer-

Mark Van Doren And Rudolf Serkin Appear
In Commemoration Program for Thomas Mann

Comedy Element In
Mann’s Works
Is Cited

By Anna Kisselgoff and
Helen Sagmaster

The primarily comic quality of
Thomas Mann’s “Joseph books”
was the point emphasized by Mark
Van Doren, Friday, in his lecture
in commemoration of Mann. Mr.
Van Doren suggested “A Comedy’
in Four Parts” as the subtitle for
the work,

Mr. Van Doren pointed out that
Mann was preoccupied with the
idea of time, almost to the extent
of Proust. In the introduction to
the work “Descent into Hell”
(which Mr. Van. Doren said might
be called “Descent into Time”),
Mann calls forth the sense of eter-
“no time at all.” This
element of :timelessness is what
makes possible the comic situation;
time, light, and talk are the back-
bone of comedy. Tragedy’ 8 essence,

"lon the other hand, is the pressure

of time, which causes failure of
wisdom.

That comedy “takes. its time” is
true literally here, for Mann has
extended a 20-page Bible story to
eleven hundred pages, filling the
interstices of the original with de-
scriptive and narrative material.

In doing so, Mann has brought

out the complexities in Joseph’s
character—the complexities which
prevented him from joining the
solemn group of the fathers of his
race. Mann does not considér Jo-
seph perfect; although endowed
with charm, beauty, and wit, he
commits the sin of folly, “the only
sin which comedy is designed to
deal with.” Joseph interests the
comic spirit of Mann as an intel-
ligent being, in some ways blind.
He cannot see, for example, the
difference in temperament between
himself and his father, Jacob. He
is terribly vain too, and thus cre-
ates one of Mann’s main problems
in a sympathetic presentation of
the character.
The author’s love and under-
standing of Joseph render his folly
harmless, and in the same breath
as he mocks his character “because
he is not God,” Mann adores him.
Joseph is, in his father’s words,
“no spiritual prince... but a
worldly one.” It is Mann’s deep
understanding of Joseph which al-
lows him to treat his creation in
the form of comedy.

Our Candidate

Before reaching the decision, announced in this week’s
editorial, to support a candidate for the Presidency of the
United States, the News board felt that it must answer sat-
isfactorily two questions. The first of these was whether or
not the only newspaper on a college campus could fairly take
such a partisan stand; the second, could the board, which is
split on almost. all political issues, agree on a candidate?

It was decided that it would be more provocative, and
more fun, to frankly support a candidate than to spend a
great deal of time explaining why we were not doing so.
After all, students disagreeing with the stand taken by the
News could easily find their own viewpoint set forth in Life



or the New: York Post. To feei that by supporting: a ctandidate’

the News is giving students a “one-sided” view of the cam-
paign is rather over-estimating our own influence, to say
at least. As an independent campus newspaper, whose pol-
icies are decided completely by the six-member board, we feel
that a partisan political stand is justified. However, it is
our intention to cover the campaign impartially. The ques-
tion of whom to support was not so difficult as it had been
first imagined; three members of the board were wholeheart-
edly agreed on a candidate; the other three acquiesced with
varying degrees of enthusiasm.

The candidate: Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois. Our sup-
port for Mr. Stevenson is based on the following beliefs:
that Mr, Stevenson has proven himself an able administrat-
or, a clear and profound thinker on political problems, and a
man of integrity and sensitivity; that Mr. Eisenhower as
President has shown disinclination to develop the bold lib-
eral political programs needed in these times, and an unwill-
ingness to use effectively his power, both political and-per-
sonal, in his relations with his executive subordinates, Con-
gress, and the people of the United States; that the Demo-
cratic Party has shown a grasp of the complexity of both
foreign and domestic affairs, and a willingness to create new
programs and to take action to achieve them; that the Re-
publican Party, in the past three and one-half years, has
shown a lack of understanding of foreign affairs under the
inept management of John Foster Dulles, and in domestic
affairs has backtracked in some fields, notably conservation,
and in general has shown little initiative in solving the great
problems of education, housing and unemployment.

In short, we feel that both Stevenson and the Democratic
Party are better: suited for leadership today than are Mr.
Eisenhower and the Republican Party. We are both “for”
Stevenson and “against” Eisenhower (as President).

In the weeks remaining before November 6 we will dis-
cuss the election in greater detail, but it is our conviction
that the most important issues of the campaign are those
of foreign affairs (where the Eisenhower Administration’s

positions from the Suez and the Middle East crises to the
fa En of defining “neutrals,” have been uncertain and un-
successful in maintaining American leadership throughout
the world) ; civil bonis ti (where Eisenhower’s failure to take
a strong stand in favor of the Supreme Court decision on
segregation was a great waste of his tremendous personal|;
popularity), and “assorted domestic issues” as the farm
crisis, co servation and the problems of the small business-
men.

As to the question of the President’s pent: the state

our su pport of Steveruon. Nevertholens, it Eannst be ignored | catct

that the bo Piesideats physical limitations have caused him to
turn over a great deal of his responsibilities to the men

continue to do so. We do not like the men around Eisen-
hower: Sherman Adams, Papas Basi age or Vice-President
Nixon, and since Eisenh numerous instances pro-
-fesses not to know how his subordinates have exercised their
duties, we think that it is quite legitimate for us to question

THE HAPPIEST

Life With Father was very suc-
cesSful: wher it ran on Broadway
several years ago. The people in
charge of The Happiest Millionaire
must have had that in mind when
they produced their play, for the
plot of the newer comedy is also
built around the«character of a
rich, likeable and admirable eccen-
tric.

Unfortunately, the play about
the eminent Philadelphian, Mr.

the one which introduced Mr. Day
to the theatregoer. Mr. Biddle does
not have all of Clarence Day’s vig-
or and independence; in addition,
the play sometimes weakens the
impact of.his personality still fur-
ther by descending into over-senti-
mentality.

Fortunately for the pa a
however, The Happiest Millionaire
is still an enjoyable comedy. The
acting in every role is excellent,
the performers overcoming the dis-
advantages of the play by making
the awkward lines seem fairly nat-
ural, at least at the moment of-be-
ing’ spoken. The central plot situa-
tion (the romantic tribulations of
the daughter of the clan and the
father’s adjustment to her ro-|
mance) makes an_ interesting
framework to the presentation of
the Philadelphia family.

Walter Pidgeon, as Mr. Anthony
J... Drexel] Biddle, plays-his---vele
with vigor, enthusiasm, and an in-
credible amount of energy. Mar-
garet Barker portrays his wife
with talent; Mrs, Biddle’s ability to
maintain humor and stability as
well as her own personality while
living with a man like Mr. Biddle
shows her to be a warm and intel-
ligent person. Mr. Biddle’s alliga-
tors in the conservatory (real alli-
gators make a brief appearance on
stage) his addiction to boxing, and
his prize-fighting friends at formal
dinner on Walnut Street would be
a trial to any wife.

Rupen Discusses
e e A

His Russian Tour

Oct. 8, Common Room. -There
are few strongly indoctrinated
Communists and there is very lit-
tle fanatical Communism in the
Soviet Union today, asserted Rob-
ert A. Rupen, Associate Professor
of Political Science, in his discus-
sion of the Soviet Union. Having
recently returned from a tour of
that country, Mr. Rupen named
the apathy toward Communist doc-

trine as the major impression. of
his 35 days in the U.S.S.R.

The speakér went*on to talk of
the ‘strong nationalistic, feelings
which can perhaps be attributed
to the slightly improved level of
consumer production over that of
the Stalin era.

As regards the average Russian’s
impressions of the United States;
Mr. Rupen asserted that they are
skeptical about current Russian
propaganda and adverse comment
about our standard: of living.
America is the unmistakable model
for the Soviet Union in material
matters. It should be mentioned,
however, that our own propaganda
is equally unsuccessful; it is music,
notably jazz, that is the popular
item on the “Voice of America”
programs.

The actual living conditions pre-
sented an even more deplorable
picture than Mr. Rupen had_expect-
ed. He-cited the town of Brest,
on the Polish border, as an exam-
ple of extreme Russian _noverty.
People were shoeless, stores bleak’
and empty, streets unpaved.: Po-
lice armed with sub-machine guns
and bayonets were everywhere.

Mr. Rupen said that he had been
free to travel and talk openly to
whom he pleased. However, no
lasting friendships are established
between the Russian and the for-
eigner.

In the last decade the Soviet
people have been exposed to much
entertainment geared only to ‘the
highest cultural and intellectual
planes. They do yearn for lighter

MILLIONAIRE

two Bryn Mawr alumnae in- the
cast of The Happiest Millionaire.
The other, Katharine Rah, plays
Aunt Mary Drexel, the stern ma-
triarch of the family.

Dia n der Vlis plays Cor-
delia Biddle, the only daughter of
the family, possessor of a mean
left hook and of two brothers who
chase away her boy friends by ex-
hibiting their boxing prowess—in
other words by knocking her young
men out. Few suitors stood for
much of that.

Miss van der Vlis is a petite and
extremely attractive girl who plays
the part of the female heir to the
strong Biddle character (as well as
the strong Biddle left hook) with
skill and the right amount of
youthful earnestness.

George Grizzard plays her last
suitor, Angier ‘Duke, heir to nine
million dollars (which seems a for-
tune to Mr. Dexter Biddle, who has
only one million). Mr. Duke needs
to, have more than a fortune to
convince Anthony J. Drexel Biddle
to let him marry Cordelia. The

attempt of all concerned to see if
he has those additional traits.

The set of The Happiest Million-
aire is ‘a simple one; the one-room
setting of the Biddle parlor makes
an, attractive background for the
play. The costumes, dress of 1915,
are also appropriact and quite ai-
tractive.

Mr. Biddle’s-robustness may of-
ten be a little wearying, but he
also seems at all times a man to
be. respected. His eccentricity is
never the kind that covers a super-
ficial character, but rather the kind
exhibited by a man with basic in-
telligence and almost creative orig-
inality in. thinking, and in his way
of life.

Though The Happiest. Million-
aire is never a great play, its basis
on an admirable character makes
it an enjoyable one in many re-

spects,
joy.



Fall and the natives have return-
ed simultaneously to the campus
this year and the latter seem to
be finding these days something of
a distraction from their real and
earnest purpose (whatever that
may be). There is still a general
disagreement about the weather at
Bryn Mawr: the hardy northern-
ers feel they have stepped back
into summer, and the southerners
complain of cing thrust into rig-
orous winter.

During the summer there seems
to have been a general effort on
campus to efface all traces of the
strenuous labors that ordinarily
take place here; the stairs both in
Taylor and in the library have been
resurfaced and have lost the hol-
lows worn into them by multitudes
in pursuit of learning.

Although no novelty as monu-
mental as last year’s addition of
the sarcophagus has appeared, one
or two replacements, such as the
|new bench under the ash-tree, may
catch the eye, It wou
esting to know, -also, how many
upperclassmen have noticed that
the roof of Taylor tower ho longer
flaps:in the breeze. A conservative|
copper sheet replaces the once sea-
green covering; any who regret the
loss of the former color may note
that it was the result of long years’
weathering. Unless some chemist
or geology major can invent some
instant-weathering compound, the
tower must remain red for several
years.

Common Room, Oct: 4.—Italy’s

political history since 1939 was re-|'

viewed by Miss Muriel Grindrod in
her talk “From Axis
NATO Partner.” Miss Grindrod,
an Englishwoman, is editor of
“World Today.”

To understand Italy’s past and
present foreign policy, two factors

must. be: taken, into account. First
is Italy’s - geographical ‘position
near the Mediterranean, and her
links with Africa, which have made
colonies come naturally to her,
even in classical times. Second is
the internal problem, that the soil
cannot support all the population.
The. result. is mass emigration of
Italians. Mussolini was influenced
by these factors in his. colonization

schemes: and his attempt at: eco-
nomic self-sufficiency in the over-
population problem.

In- 1940, Mussolini joined the
Axis against the advice of other
leaders who knew of: Italy’s unpre-
paredness for war. This
against traditional friends was
never a popular one, and in 1943
came, the fall of Mussolini. The
various resistance groups that
came into being during the war
were active opportunities for those
who, had opposed Fascism all].
along, and not necessarily a “move-
ment of hotheads.”’ It was because
-of “the resistance movement tt
Italy could be regarded as an ally.

The peace treaty of 1947, and
especially : the loss of colonies,
seemed harsh to the Italians. The
controversial-Trieste problem was
also a sore spot. But once the
treaty had been signed, Italy was
in a position to formulate her own
post-war foreign policy.

With pro-West men like Sforza
and” de’ Gasperi as’ her leaders,
Italy welcomed U.S. plans and
Marshall aid, although all the
western leanings were bitterly con-
tested by the Communists, who
made up one-third of the country.

However, by 1949, Italy had be-
come a.member of the Western
community.

In: 1954, with the tentative set-
tlement of the Trieste question,
Italy emerged from the postwar
period of bitterness over the peace
treaty. In the last ten years, she
has made a good “comeback” and

is a respected member of the West.

She bears. no stigma today because
of her position in the war. -

MOVIES:

Tea And Sympathy





by Carol Hansen

It.-is ifipossible to attempt a re-
view of the movie “Tea and Sym-
pathy” without comparing it to
the former Broadway show from
which it evolved. At its best, which
is quite good, the movie presents
a tempered version of the show.

This “watering-down’’ is not sur-
prising. The real shock is that
Hollywood has produced the movie
at all. Most of the incidents with-
in thé movie run parallel to the
Broadway original and are brought
out with equal force. So much is
this true that at times it seems,
to those familiar with the habits

lof Hollywood censors, that M-G-M

“pulled a fast one” to get this pic-
ture released.

The flash-back technique used in
the movie may have had something
to. do with this. Unfortunately, it
also weakened the drama consider-
ably. The first scene of the movie
sees John Kerr, who plays the boy
Tom Lee, at a class reunion. He
wanders over to his old room and
begins to remember his unhappy
days as. a student.’
flash-back, i. e., the beginning of
the play). -

From there the movie runs
through a series of incidents, sim-
ilar to those in the .play, which
reveal Tom’s gentle, sensitive. na-
ture, and lead to the boys’ :not-too-
subtle accusation of him. He is
tagged with the name “Sister Boy”
and from there the situation: grows
steadily worse.

over-eager alumnus who wants









Tom to be a “regular guy”, does

nothing but intensify the situation.
Finally, the boy, half-believing
that he is what they say, is on the
verge of suicide.

It is here’ that housemother
Deborah Kerr, who has been on
his side. all along, comes to the
rescue. Here is the much-publiciz-
ed scene where Laura sits beside
the.-boy, holding his hand to her
bosom and saying, “Later on when
you talk about this, and you will,
be kind.” (End of play, i. e. return
of movie to present time).

Tom now presents himself to
Laura’s former husband, who gives
Tom a letter from Laura which
has been there for some time. She
has left her husband and is living
alone far away (obviously paying
for her sin). In the letter she tells
Tom that although she helped him
overcome a crisis that might have
killed him, she. failed her husband
utterly (in other words, she may
not have done the right thing after
all). Tom is now a_ successful
author (married, of course).

The three leading actors, Deb-
orah Kerr, John Kerr (no relation)
and the husband, Lief Erickson,
were in the cast of the Broadway
play, so they themselves are the
only points of comparison. In both
cases they gave seemingly flawless
performances. Miss Kerr, especial-
ly, gave to the part all the tender-
ness and understanding which it
deserved.

Things Have Changed

Considering the fact that Bryn
Mawr has an abundance of tradi-
tions and an over-abundance of
elections, it is consoling to note
that several rather “strange” tra-
ditions have been dropped.

For example: “Speeding through
the campus in a touring car about
3:30 yesterday afternoon, Marga-
ret Hutchins, of Columbus, Ohio,
was elected chairman of the Fresh-
man Class.

“The chairman spent Monday
night at the Bellevue-Stratford,
taking the train yesterday after-
noon to Haverford, where she was
met by L. Richardson, 18’s cheer-

leader. They drove by back ways | the “Family of Man” photographic!

Masterpieces Are

Exhibited In City

by Ann Barthelmes

One of the advantages of Bryn
Mawr is its proximity to Philadel-
phia’s theaters and museums. The
Philadelphia Art Museum, which
has collections representing most
of the periods of art history, is
recognized as one of.the finest in
this country. The museum’s exam-
ples of Northern Renaissance art
are particularly worth viewing.

The Arnesburg collection, which
includes the works of modern
painters, attracts many visitors to
the museum. The samplings of
Braque and Gris, as well as that
of Picasso, are especially fine, In
the Arnesburg collection are found
the famous Duchamps “Nude De-
scending the Staircase” in several
tonal variations, and some little-
known works of Chiroco and Dali,
such as Dali’s “Agnostic Symbol.”
There are many fine paintings by
nineteenth century _ impressionists
and post-impressionists, of which
those by Degas and Cezanne (par-
ticularly Cezanne’s “Bathers at
Avignon”) are outstanding exam-
ples.

There is little sculpture. within
the museum walls. However, Ro-
din’s “Burghers of Calais,” found
at the west entrance, is a beautiful
and impressive work.

Something to watch for is the
museum’s annual showing of im-
portant exhiBitions currently tour-
ing the country. Outstanding in
the past months were those of Tou-
louse-Lautrec and Brancusi: and

exhibit.

Even beyond its wealth of ob-
jets d’art, the Philadelphia Museum
is exciting as a center of various
cultural activities. Films and lee-
tures are scheduled for Sunday af-
ternoons, and concerts are held
tere occasionally.

Foreign Policy, Civil

Liberty and Poverty

Are The Neglected Issue, Says H. Sawyer

Henry Sawyer III, attorney and
Councilman at Large. for the Phil-
adelphia City Council, listed as
three in “neglected” issues of
the 1956 campaign foreign affairs,
civil liberties and the poverty of
one-sixth of the nation.

(Mr. Sawyer. addressed a group
of students in the Common Room
on October 9. He was sponsored
by the Alliance, and the Young
Democrats in particular.

The Republicans, charged Mr.
Sawyer, have continued to apply
a.foreign policy appropriate for
the late 1940’s, namely, policy
of military pacts directed against
the threat of Russian invasions
and war.. In dealing with the con-
temporary problem of atomic stale-
mate, the. Republicans’ _ policies
have proven sterile and unimag-

inative. By resorting to such “ab-
surd slogans” as “massive retal-
iation,” and by emphasizing the

lack of a “shooting war,” the Re-
publicans have lost the respect of
Allies and,of neutrals, and have
created..a..sense_of “‘false—compla-
cency” among. Americans in re-



gards to the world situation.

The Civil Liberties question has
been totally neglected, continued
Sawyer, and yet “(Never in the his-
tory of the United States has a
government brought so much mis-
ery to so many ‘people as has the
Eisenhower Security Program.”

The security program, which is a
threat to the most basic American
liberties contained in the first Ten
Amendments, was created largely
for political purposes to counter-
act a Communist threat which was
almost mythical.

The third. issue brought out by
the Philadelphia lawyer was that
of meeting the problem of _ill-
housed, ill-clothed, ill-fed one-sixth
of the nation: While the Republi-
cans in general profess little in-
terest in this one-sixth, Mr. Saw-
yer felt that the Democrats had
yet to come up with a bold pro-
gram to meet the problems involv-
ed in this remaining poverty. He
suggested one billion federal dol-
lars for the. next five years, with
the-federal--government matching
state and’ local dollars.

Record Collection
Obtains Additions.

In 1938, a generous gift from
the Carnegie Foundation gave the
college enough records to start a
lending library. Under the aus-
pices of Undergrad, this record col-
lection in the West Wing of the
Library now numbers over 1,200
works, varying from Bach to Bela-
fonte, from Joachim to jazz, from
poetry to Praetorius. Thirty new
records bought _by the committee
and the gift of approximately , 280
works from the collection of a.de-
ceased alumna have been added
since last spring. The collection
is completely catalogued, and -an
abbreviated version will, we hope,
soon be available in all the halls.

Membership in the Record. Li-
brary is open to anyone connected
with the college, and entails only
registration with Mrs..van Huls-
teyn at the West Wing desk, and
the payment of a dollar. (Payday
if you like.) Aside from a plea: to
treat the records as you would your
own, the rules governing the re
ord_Library~-aré:

1. All records must be sigried in
and out at the Librarian’s desk,
and only when the Librarian is at
the desk.

2. Records may be kept seven
days. Fines of two cents per rec-
ord per day will be charged for
overdue records. Only two record-
ings at a time may be borrowed,
with the exception of single 78’s,
five of which may be taken at once.
Money accumulated from member-
ship fees and overdue charges’ goes
towards the purchase of new rec-
ords. '

We welcome your dues,
presence, and suggestions!
