an inherited distinction between the
reason for their existence and the
reason for activities such as (save
the mark) Lantern-Swinging. The
first class of activities needs no
explanation, it is considered. The
second is damned as the spoor of
eld and primal nonsense, whose
defenders have no better by-word
of defense than “tradition.” What
seems to be forgotten is that the
class of much-desired activities had
no moré reasonable entry into in-
stitutions of H.L, than their poor
cousins, and the proof of this is
that such institutions are by de-
finition devoted to the aggrandize-
ment of learning, not the aggrand-
izement of students, What the stu-
ents do to bless their own souls
had better all be lumped under the
-gum of What our Fathers Did Be-
fore us.

Hence my thoughts led me to
the observation that B.M. is out
of the swim, since it crustily main-
tains an indifference to momentary,

bigger fish find happy hunting, and

if one has the stomach to swallow
them at a gulp. To recognize this
once a year is simple enough and
no oddity, and there’s the prime
cause of that tradition. I might go
on but, ‘‘As I sees it,” said the left-
hand neatherd, “you finds a good
hillock to hand and you puts your

has my greatest admiration. I am
annually given to wonder at the
species of girl college student, who,
in the middle of “paper time” can
arise at some unheard of-hour of

the morning to frolic on the grass

in a white skirt, The people who
honestly enjoy this festival are
undoubtedly to be commended and
even to be emulated as they fill
their lungs with fresh clean morn-
ing air, rather than the stale smoky
smelly air of the evening and t

smoker. They may frolic annually’

or semi-annually or not at all. They
may live in fear each year that
vandals from the neighborhood will
come and defile the site of the fes-
tivities, and each year as they feel

the renewal of the spring, I shall]

feel the renewal of a couple of

Political Issues At Little RON, Student

Talks, IRC Merger On Alliance Agenda

by Gail Beckman

The Alliance schedule for the
coming weeks is full. On November
5, Maurice Rosenblatt will speak
on “The Political Implications of
the Little Rock Crisis.” The meet-
ing will take place in the Common
Room at 8:30,

It has recently been a policy of
the Alliance to try to tap the stu-
dent, professor, and staff resources
of Bryn Mawr. Two such speakers
are scheduled for the near future.
On Thursday, Oct. 31, Mary Ellen
Smith will discuss “British: Atti-
tudes Toward America.” The pre-
cise time and place will be an-
nounced later. Charlotte (Graves)
Paton, President of the Alliance in
1956-57, will sdon speak on the
Federal Security Loyalty Sys-
tem.” Both topics should be quite

,interesting to many sections of the

student body.

Some comment has been raised
about the value of the proposed
Bryn. Mawr-Haverford-Swarthmore
Union of the IRC. It might, there-
fore, be well to examine more

toured most of the clubs on cam-
pus. There was a time when it
was fashionable or at least con-
sidered correct for Bryn Mawr
College clubs to be self-sufficient—
in the sense of being founded by,
supported by and run entirely for
Bryn Mawr girls. In more recent
years, ‘however, many _ clubs
have found it wise to consoli-
date with similar organizations on
other campuses. (One might ask
if this were a reflection of the
current interest in international-
ism and international cooperation
or an evidence of less student, in-
terest gn extra-curricular activities.
In either case, the trend does
exist). A glance at the long list
of these “mergers” is, therefore
enlightening: WBMC, College
Theatre, Revue, Debate Team,
German Club, and IRC. Temporary
co-ed co-operation is also utilized
for some athletic events or enter-
tainments (Arts Night or the AA
fireplace).

There are undoubtedly some who
still maintain ,that a club on the

Bryn Mawr campus should be self-
contained. Nevertheless, the opin-
ion of more and more who have
been engaged in the extra-curricu-
lar life on campus is that this co-
operation may be almost the only
solution for clubs wishing to sur-
vive the competition of weekends
away and to have anything more
than a passive membership. Besides
having this inherent desire for
survival, merged clubs — recognize
the intrinsic advantages to be gain-
ed from co-operation. Inter-college
organizations would ‘provide more
opportunities for publicity, student
support, speakers, “spontaneous”
activities, and interchange of ideas,
The main problems are transporta-
tion and co-ordination of schedules
between the colleges. It is evident
though from the numerous still
existent experiments in inter-col-
leigate work that such problems
can be solved.

Another aspect of this situation
is the problem of which colleges

‘in the neighborhood should work

together. Vasally it is Bryn Mawr

occasionally, joined by Swarthmore
as during the 1957 Democratic
Campaign or as in the present IRC

merger. One glance at the map of

the area, however, will serve to
illustrate that the University of
Pennsylvania, Temple, St. Joseph’s,
Rosemont and numerous other ac-
tive campuses are—if not nedrer—
surely not too much farther away
relatively speaking. If friendly re-
lations can exist between them on
a social level (as in many cases
they do), why aren’t they appar-
ent on a more serious level? This
question of inter-collegiate organ-
izational co-ordination can be con-
densed into two new questions:

1. Why aren’t more of the clubs
already engaged in working with
other colleges?

2. Why doesn’t Bryn Mawr
work with more of the other col-
leges in the area?

glance this idea seems ridiculous,
but it may be the truth: Homer
implies in the Odyssey that wheels
could have a chassis put on them,
and it may well have been the dis-
covery of the wheel added to a
horse-drawn cart which made the
Mycenean civilization supreme in
Greece.
