Class of 1963 Undergoes Freshman Weekend Flurry;
Convocation to Mark College’s 75th Anniversary Year

Convocation, Preceded by Academic Procession,
Opens A Series Of Commemorative Events

A convocation, the second ‘to be
held at the beginning of the first
semester since the college opened
in 1885, will usher in Bryn Mawr’s
seventy-fifth academic year on
Monday, September 28, at 4:30 p.m.
President Katharine E. McBride
will officiate, and Dr. John W.
Gardner, President of the Carnegie
Corporation, will be the principal
speaker.

The convocation in Goodhart Hall
will be preceded by an academic
procession involving all the mem-
bers of the faculty, Deans and
staff, all students enrolled in the
college, the President, speaker,
and distinguished guests. As is
customary at commencement, the
procession will form on the Library
green at 4:00 p.m., and, marshal-
led by students, will advance into
Goodhart auditorium.

Guests Included

The President’s party will in-
clude presidents of neighboring
colleges and heads of schools. A
number of eminent alumnae are
also included among the guests.

The Convocation marks the op-
ening not only of the seventy-fifth
anniversary year, but also of the
long series of events in commem-
oration of this anniversary. The
theme uniting activities here at
the College and staged by Alum-
nae in 31 cities is “New Horizons
of Thought and the Stubborn Facts
of Today.”

The only other convocation held
at the opening of the academic
year was that which formally. an-
nounced the birth of the college in
1885. These ceremonies of inaug-

uration took place on September ,



‘63's Dictionary
Of BMC Terms

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 war-
den.

UNDERGRAD COUNCIL—This
group meets once a week, without
dinner. It is composed of the ed-
itor of the NEWS, the presidents
of the Big 6 and of the classes.

Chaired by the president of Under-

grad, 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-
faith Associations.

beginning of classes and eight .

days after the College was open-
ed for the reception of students for
the first time.

President D. C. Gilman of Johns
Hopkins University, President
Chase of Haverford and James
Russell Lowell spoke at that first
convocation. The first President
of the College, Dr. James E.
Rhoads, said of the even in his
President’s Report for the year
1885: “The occasion was altogeth-
er auspicious, and the College has
entered upon its career with uni-
versal good wishes for its ‘success,
so that it has but to fulfill kind
expectations by worthy perform-
ance,”

Parade Night Welcomes
The Freshmen Officially
After A Hectic “Week”’

Parade Night, that solemn occa-
sion which follows the first day of
classes, is the time of official wel-
coming of the ‘freshmen. But since
the first post-dawn hours of Thurs-
day morning that welcome has in
fact been extended to the 206
members of the class of 1963.

From voice tests to physicals,
from interviews with Miss McBride
to an ice cream party, the “week”
has been a full one. Entering stu-
dents have been housed where
freshmen have not been housed in
the recent past: 10 in the Gradu-
ate Center, eight in the Deanery,
and the Infirmary temporarily
holds five. More familiar accom-
modations are at slightly more
than capacity.

Tonight and Sunday, upper-
classmen return to dorms already
in full swing. But although class-
es begin Monday morning, the
College will not settle into its rou-
tine until the Convocation opening
the seventy-fifth anniversary is
over and Parade Night has vent-
ed its furies.

Notice

All. students, and especially
freshmen, the slightest bit: inter-
ested in trying out for the News
are urged to attend a meeting on
Tuesday, September 26, at 5:00 in
the News room, Goodhart. Tryouts
and the rigors and requirements
of being a News staff member will
be the principal topics of this con-
versation between News editors



and the young and eager.



Batten Property Purchased Complete With Indoor Swimming

Exactly a week before this year’s
large freshman class arrived, Bryn
Mawr concluded the purchase for
$150,000 of the home of Harry A.
Batten. This two-and-a-half storey



eres ee NNT

whitewashed field stone house at
830 Roberts Road will be a dormi-
tory for 14 students.

The Batten estate includes the
14-room, six-bath Colonial style

“Once the home of Harry Batten, this residence will soon be a Bryn Mawr Dormitory.

residence and six-and-a-half acres
of grounds bordering the Graduate
Center on the east. One wing of
the house contains a 30-by-50 foot
indoor swimming pool, with ad-



jacent terraces.

The College learned that the
Batten property was for sale only
in the latter part of August. Until
that time, Bryn Mawr owned a
number of beds purchased at the
beginning of the summer, with no
place to put them and little hope
of finding space. Even with this
addition, freshmen are being hous-
ed in the Deanery, the new wing
of the Infirmary, and the Graduate
Center, in addition to the seven
dormitories, the College Inn and

East House.

Present plans are that Batten
House will not be an all-freshman

dormitory like East House, but
that upperclassmen will be invited
to apply to live there. Because
of the pool it is hoped that at
least two Red Cross Lifesavers
will be among those who apply.
Denizens of the Batten house will
take their meals at the Graduate
Center.

Unlike the gym pool, the Batten

house pool is equipped with a reg-
julation diving board, which will

‘make possible the inclusion of div- _

ing classes.in the sports curricu-
lum. The pool will almost certain-
ly be made generally available to
Graduate Students as well.

A Greeting And The Gallows

“a



. . you’re desperate to fly into any noose of the sun
that should dangle down from the sky.”

Like Thomas Mendip, we have hanging on our mind,
and perhaps yow'll forgive us a short causerie on the subject
before we come to the point, such as it is. Modes of execu-
tion have always seized the popular imagination: crucifixion,
which went out with the Christianized empire, but which
has pervaded the Christian era; decapitation, and the image
of the swarthy Moor with his Scimitar; death by guillotine,
that fiendish invention peculiar to the French. But in the
Anglo-Saxon world, hanging has enjoyed both popularity
and a three-way usefulness. Hanging has been a legal form
of execution, and is retained, in some states. In Dickens,
legal hanging is ugly and capricious; in Gay it is‘an occasion
for humor. Hanging has been, and, we note shamefacedly,
is the method of the mob. No Western is complete without
a lynching, and hanging is the symbol of racial hatred in
the South. Especially vivid is Satre’s tragic burlesque of
this situation in The Reluctant Prostitute, and the violence of
Faulkner. Finally, hanging is'a fairly common form of self-
execution, familiar in literature and history since the suicide
of Judas the betrayer of Jesus.

Hanging, then, has a legal, an extra- or quasi-legal, and
a suicidal function. With the' exception of shooting, which,
being swift and in a sense undramatic, has never found real
favor with the excited crowd, we know of no other method
of death that ericompasses these three functions. This vari-
ety makes hanging a fitting subject for an allegory. We
_ have been working up to an allegory, but its tone isso ad-.
monishing and its implications so grandmotherly, that after

we reveal it we shall have to reject it. Bryn Mawr has its |

executions: Legal gallows which operate upon the rare and
sad cases of academic lassitude and failure, or serious social
misbehavior; the extra-legal lynchings of the crowd—social
or anti-social.and extra-curricular activities taken in excess;
and self-execution, which is this ordered society, is almost
the only cause of the first two.

But we mean to welcome, not to warn. Christopher
Fry’s phrase is “nose of the sun”, and if there are nooses
hanging around to snare wnwary freshmen (and upperclass-
men), we believe that these nooses are really “of the sun.”
During freshman weeks you have had a concentrated fore-
taste of Bryn Mawr life. You have had innumerable teas
and parties, you have met the Haverford men en masse, you
have seriously considered your chosen subjects, and you have
just been confronted with the allures of the Big Six and the
News editor. The pace slows as you begin to live within an
academic schedule. You may believe that at scholarly. Bryn
Mawr everyone lives the life of an ascetic intellectual; you
probably want to escape from the overload of social and
extra-curricular activities which in some ways killed the

academic profits of high school, Nevertheless, you will soon
discover, like Oxonians who are said to. consider informal:

discussions the most valuable aspect of their education, that
real learning is incompatible with introversion, and that aca-
demic vigor can only survive in a community where a contin-
ual conversation is going on, and the conversation proceeds

_ _ logically. into vital activities.

Freshman Agonistes

by Lois Potter

Dear Mom,

T haven’t had time to write you
before, because we have all been
very busy, but I’m sure you didn’t
think I was dead. If I was dead.
somebody would tell you.

Bryn Mawr is very nice. There
are lots of girls here who have
neat clothes and who talk a lot.
They are called Freshmen. There
are also some girls who look a
little like human beings, only very
wrinkled, and don’t ever say any-
thing. They are called Upperclass-
men. There will be more of them
later. They are very nice, under all
that hair, and are always happy
to show us where things are, even
when they don’t know either.

Today we visited the Library.
It is shaped like a square dough-
nut, and the hole in the middle
is filled with grass and people
holding cigarettes. They call it the
Cloisters. There are lots of books
in the library, and some Profes-
sors are kept there in cages. I
hear they are quite harmless.

After we saw the library, they
took us on a tour of the Campus.
We saw Taylor Hall, which must
be a factory or something, be-
cause they say it’s where dough-
nuts and bluebooks come from. It
has a real bell in the tower and
four clocks each of which tells
a different time. When I was
there, one Upperclassman tried
to jump off the tower, but a
couple of friends caught her in a
net. She was the Manager of
Funiture Sale.

There are lots of residence
halls on Campus.-They are Gothic,
which means the plumbing isn’t
very good, especially on the top
floors. The food is English Gothic
too. Enough said.

The gymnasium is located inside
an old castle. We all wear green
suits so as blend in with the trees.
In winter, it is all white around
here (because of snow), so we
have to have gym indoors. They
try to hide us as much as pos-
sible when we have our gym suits
on.

There is also a Biology building
and a Geology. building, but my
feet hurt, so I didn’t go there.
They say both buildings are very
nice, if you like dogfish and rocks.
_ Last night we went to a Mixer.
A mixer is like a party, only more
confusing. One. Upperclassman
told me is was called a Mixer be-
cause by the time you came out
of one you are pretty well beat.
There were lots of boys, and even
more girls.
tellectual Conversation. Example
of Intellectual Conversation:

Boy: Hello, where are you
from?

Girl: New Hampshire, where are
you from?

Boy: New York, where are you

from?

Girl: I’m going to get some
punch,

Boy: Well, nice meeting you.

End of Intellectual Conversa-
tion.

Well, I must close now, because
they want us to go see something,
or meet somebody, or listen to
somebody, or something. I have
met lots of nice girls, but I can’t
remember any of their names.

Your loving daughter,
_ Amaryllis.

Philadelphia And Main Line Offer
Cultural Events of Variety, Quality

by Alison Baker

Campus commitments are liable
to become exceedingly pressing
through the year, but at some point
you might find it worth your while
to dodge them long enough to take
advantage of the many cultural
opportunities in Philadelphia and

|the Main Line area. Both of these,

Philadelpliia in particular, bristle
with music, art, theater, and build-
ings of architectural and -historical
interest.

‘The Academy of Music is the
center of musical activities. Its
main and regular attraction is the
Philadelphia orchestra, with Or-
mandy conducting, but aside from
these Friday and Monday evening
concerts, there are numerous visit-
ing groups, including the Metropoli-
tan opera. For folk music enthu-
siasts there are periodical concerts
at the International Club as well
as individual recitals and get-to-
gethers throughout the city.

concerts, taking place at fairly
wide intervals, is that at the Rad-
nor High School. The performing
groups are usually small or solo,
and the comparatively small con-
cert hall makes listening and view-
ing much more intimate than at
the Academy. There is no admis-
sion charged, although contribu-
tions are welcome.

In the Philadelphia theater you
can preview all that later moves
on to Broadway in New York.
This means both the advantage of
more available tickets and cheaper
prices and the disadvantage of not
very easily being able to judge the
play beforehand through reviews.
On the whole it is worth taking
a few chances and taking in a few
plays.

Movie houses are scattered
throughout the city and Main Line
towns, and can be investigated jin
the Philadelphia Inquirer. In the
city, there are two foreign lang-
uage movie theaters, one German
and one Italian.

‘The Fine Arts Museum could
keep any museum- goer occupied
for a number of winter seasons.
It has a newly arranged section |
of Eastern art and architecture
which is of particular interest.
The permanent collection includes
-_painting, sculpture, furniture and
interiors from a wide range of
periods and localities, all very well
displayed. Occasionally films are
shown at the Museum.

Not far from -the Fine Arts
Museum is a smaller one; the Rod-
in museum, which has a very good
collection of sculptures. The Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania has a
museum of its own which features
ancient and primitive art and
sculpture.

For the scientist or interested
layman, there is the Franklin In-
stitute, witha planetarium and
demonstrations of various machines
and scientific phenomena.

The city of Philadelphia abounds
in houses and historical monu-
ments, but. those would deserve a
guide in themselves, and can be
quite easily located. :

On the whole, the best policy,
I think, is to keep eyes and ears
open for happenings in the outside
world of culture, and to glance on
the way between classes at the



Arts Council bulletin board in
Taylor, |



The Tea As A Lively Arh

Much tea is poured in he course
of a year at Bryn Mawr, and its
pouring fulfills countless and di-

verse functions. You are liable to
experience everything on campus
from Miss: McBride’s tea, overflow-

ing with delectable edibles and

gentile sociability, to a midnight
gulp snatched at the height of
exam preparation—tap water ting-
ed with a taste of soggy tea bag.
The other occasions, however, usu-
ally fall somewhere between these
extremes. The mere fact of the
beverage often becomes superficial-
ly unimportant, its presence giv-
ing form and substance to gather-
ings which otherwise might remain
hopelessly nebulous or entirely un-
convened,

First there are the official club
teas, massed at the beginning of
the year. Through the soothing
draughts of a tea cup, committee
heads try to lure the incoming
class to activity in behalf of their
special concerns and _ projects.
Stark and unclothed this end
would quite possibly attract but
few, but accompanied by the social
and comfortable note which tea
introduces it becomes a broad suc-
cess, in attendace even if not nec-
essarily in final result. In this
ease the purpose of the meeting

‘clothes the tea for those inclined:

to sociability but mildly averse to

with generally helpful and gregar-
ious instincts.
Then there is the small private

tea, an undisguisedly social event.
Here tea provides the necessary
formality for acquaintances to
progress from an occasional run-
ning salutation in Taylor to more
extensive communication. In these
perhaps much the same thing is
achieved as in a chat in the smok-
er, but there is nevertheless a dis-
tinctly perceptible difference. The
tone of a tea discussion takes an
entirely different turn from that
taken by one in the presence of
asphyxiating smoke clouds. Just
as the Rhinelanders’ wine contrasts
with the Bavarians’ beer and
moulds their respective characters
accrdingly, so the tea enforces a
note of lightness, and perhaps even
occasionally of elegant incisiveness
which would prove entirely incom-
patible with an atmosphere dead-
ened by smoke fumes. Luckily, the
effect of either is only temporary;
one smoker session doesn’t seem to
dull anyone ‘irrevocably for the
finer pleasures of tea.

Other teas fall perhaps more
accurately into the category of
“foods”, asin them the beverage
has ceded its preeminence in favor
of the accompanying cakes, sand-
wiches, etc. These teas fulfill a
very necessary function, in which

Organization Presidents Outline Programs For Year

Self-Government Association

Undergraduate Association
~by Marcy Tench, Uudergrad President

The entire Undergraduate As-
sociation welcomes you to Bryn
Mawr and hopes sincerely that you
will take an active part in all As-
sociation activities during your
four years here.

As far as a preview of coming
attractions for this year, I shall
be_brief. _Many of Undergrad’s
projects and activities arise during
the year.and much is spontaneous.

The Social Chairman of the Col-
lege sits on the Undergraduate
Executive Board as the first Jun-
ior Representative.. You met
Patty Roberts on Saturday night.
Aside from the three traditional
weekends, Patty plans the college
calendar on which all social events
are included. We hope this year
to have halls combine their mix-

ers. Your ideas on social activities
are most.-welcome and sought
after.

One activity which Undergrad
plans to sponsor will be an inter-
hall bridge tournament. One will
be held each semester, if possible.
Everyone is urged and welcome
to play, beginners included.

This summer the Undergraduate
_ Association was represented at

the .U. S. National Students’ Con-
gress. As a result of the work-

shops held at the Congress, Under- |°

grad is making plans to improve
informal communications between
the students and faculty. Small
teas for students and their pro-
fesors and dinners in each hall for
faculty will be encouraged. The
faculty will be urged to entertain
small groups of students, particu-
larly underclassmen, in their
homes,

Unless you have not already
heard the word “Reorganization,”
you will soon. This shall be -Un-
dergrad’s major project this year.
The idea of reorganizing the stu-
dent organizations has been brew-
ing for three years, and it is my
personal hope to see some action
this year. I hope you will all fa-
miliarize yourselves with the vari-



ous ideas and offer any ideas you
may have. We will be. having
many open meetings concerning
this topic, at. which your attend-
ance and suggestions will be most
appreciated. '

I have enjoyed meeting some of
you already, and look forward to
meeting the rest of you in the
near. future.

Arts Council

by Judy Polsky
President of Art’s Council

A college organization devoted
to “the ‘arts” sounds most uncon-
vincing; it is frightening as either
a bureauaratic or a- patronage
group . ... speaking practically,
this would not “work” at Bryn
Mawr.

The Arts Council is, both will-
ingly and by necessity, a “contact”
group—as active as the students
want and help it to be. Structural-
ly the Arts Council admits to a
very loose organization: it has
no constitution; its Board consists
of a Chairman, Vice - Chairman,
the Head of the Arts Forum, hall
representatives, and any other in-
terested students. Functionally, it
aspires to be even more variable—

find what is of interest to the
members of a liberal arts college
.. and means for its expression.

An Arts Night is held each fall
—an opportunity for the presen-
tation and sharing of student tal-
ent and originality in the dance,
instrumental music, singing, and
forms of drama. _

Recitals, lectures and readings
are sponsored during the year by
Arts Forum. The recital program
should make available to the col-
lege community its own talented
performers as well as music stu-
dents from the Curtis Institute
in Philadelphia. Lectures are
somewhat informal both in sub-
ject and presentation ... as ex-
pressing current interests. Arts
Council asks for suggestions. —

Alliance for Political Affairs

by Eunice Strong,
In this article you will find in-
formation about the Alliance for
Political Affairs, commonly known
as the Alliance. This organiza-
tion, like the other “Big Six,” is
composed of smaller organizations
which can be thought of as a pyra-
mid culminating in the Alliance
Board. This board meets with fair
regularity in the Roost at 5:00 p.m.
on Thursday afternoons. These
meetings are open to the College
and you are more than welcome to
come. They deal with the business
of the Alliance as a whole and
then there usualy is a discussion
of interest on some phase of poli-
tics. This year the Alliance is
planning three speakers in the

Interfaith

by Cathy Lucas
Interfaith President

‘The Interfaith Association is
the newest and least well-defined
of the Big Six Organizations.
Arising out of the Chapel Com-
mittee of the Undergrad Associa-
tion, it is still limited in some
minds to its function of the Sun-

day evening service. Its new scope
and potential service to the cam-
pus is only gradually becoming
more evident.

The two very real purposes of
our organization today are as fol-
lows:

1) To aid the student in her
personal religious growth by mak-
ing known the opportunities off-
campus for worship, and for re-
ligious thinking from. a_ theologi-
cal and ethical standpoint. Besides
the local churches, there exist ac-
tive study groups for Catholic,
Protestant and Quaker students,
and various activities for Jewish
students, which are found and pub-
licized by Interfaith.

2) To provide a unique meet-
ing ground for minds, of all faiths
or no faith, who are concerned
with the religious aspect of ques-
tions, political, sociological, philo-
sophical, etc., and with other re-
ligions than their own. To this
end we present mid-week pro-
grams which bring outstanding
speakers and pertinent topics to
the campus; the climax this year
being the conference co-sponsored
with Alliance and League.

Continuing its function as
Chapel Committee, Interfaith has
-become,- then; a three-fold organ-
izations: as co-ordinator and pub-
licizer of the religious activities
available to the individual student,
it igs a service organization; as
sponsor of lectures and discus-
sions, trips and demonstrations, it
is an interest group much like Al-
liance; but in its presentation of
college worship services, is has

by Sue Harris, Self-Gov. President

Self-Government, by definition,
means you. It is an organization
of which you must be aware. The
strength or weakness of this or-
ganization can be measured by the

understanding that you have of

your place in and responsibility

J:| toward Self-Gov. To gain an un-

derstanding of Self-Gov. is not
difficult, for the basic philosophy
of the organization corresponds,
as it must, to the everyday social
and academic life of the college.
The rules, stated in your Self-
Gov. Constitution, deal with the
details which are necessary in the
efficient operation of the college
community. These rules should be
learned before you begin the varied
social and academic activities con-
nected with the college. Your re-
sponsibility toward Self-Gov. lies
in your appreciation of the ne-
cessity of these rules, in your con-
cern that these rules be followed
by every student in your college,

League
by Julie O’Neil
League President

DON’T READ HERE—not until
you stop to think—there is a need
for you,—for your ability to con-
sider someone’s problem,— for
your energy to cope with it,—and
for your tenacity to improve his
lot, even in a small way, before
this person is dropped by the way-
side of forgotten troubles. ©

In college especially rises such
an unconscious wall of deadlines
—academic anthills which sudden-
ly flourish to the exclusion of
equally demanding work—dealing
not with books, but with people.

It is just this area in which the
League acts as the channel to
remedy this deficit in student life.
Out of a liberal arts background,
practical emphasis is placed on be-
coming a constructive and imagin-
ative member of society. The
question immediately arises—who
makes up this society? The sim-
ple answer—everyone belongs.
Not just those with, but those
without. As members. we all affect
and are affected by each other,
whether consciously or not. Each
member learns from another—
can see his achievements and fail-
ures in the character and predic-
ament of another. Humanity is
one animal, one spirit. In working
with and learning from one an-
other the giver ad the receiver are
made complete in themselves: Who
in the end, can name the giver,
the receiver? As an illustration—

and by your comprehension that
Self-Gov. as a system of rules
safeguards the reputation of your
college, both academically and soc-
ially. :

Structurally, Self-Gov. relies
upon lines of communication
which run from each Hall Presi-
dent and her hall to the Advisory
Board, from college-elected class
representatives to the Executive
Board, and from Permission Giv-
ers who are drawn from the stu-
dent body at large and who oper-
ate within the halls. It is for you
that these lines of communication
have been established, because
only you can keep the rules and
maintain the réputation of your
hall, your class and your college.

This year the Advisory and
Executive Boards intend to
strengthen these lines of com-
munication. Copies of the rules
will be passed out to all upper-
classmen. Permission Givers will
be asked to demonstrate a greater
understanding of their position as
Self-Gov. officers. Each student will
be expected to visit meetings of
the Boards to observe firsthand
the internal workings of the or-
ganization. A greater emphasis
will be placed on the Academic
Honor System. The dress rules
will come up for college considera-
tion. These plans are only a few
of the many which shall be pre-
sented during the year. Self-Gov.,
its rules and its philosophy of
individual responsibility and over-
all integrity, must meet your
needs. But you must work to meet
the needs of Self-Gov., for Self-
Gov. means every student.

Athletic
Association
by Helen Cohen,
A. A. President

The basic aim of the Athletic
Association is to provide good fun
and a recreational outlet for every-
one on campus. This year we hope
to carry on with and enlarge our
program of strictly recreational
activities. For example the ten-
nis courts are always available
for student use, the gym is open-
ed by an A.A. representative on
Sunday afternoons so that stu-
dents may use the pool and other
facilities of the gym, a program
of inter-murals in such sports as
hockey, basketball, volleyball, bad-
minton, and swimming is offered,
and even a bridge tournament is
sponsored by the A.A.

Several clubs are sponsored by
the A.A., again along the lines of
the strictly recreational. There is
the Synchronized Swimming Club,
the Dance Club (whch we hope to
reorganize this year), the newly-
formed Riding Club, the Outing
Club which sponsors such great
events as the mid-term skiing trip,
and so on. We also hope to form
some sort of a folk-singing group
this year.

During the school year the A.A.
hopes to sponsor a program of
movies—some on sporting events
and possibly one or two of the

Coronets” for instance.

Our program of varsity sports
is probably familiar to you all
through the Freshman Handbook.
In conjunction with the Physical
Education Department, the A.A.
offers varsity activity in hockey,
tennis, swimming, badminton, la-

only those of you who are inter-
ested in playing, but also those

come out for these activities. A

Corrosive Liquids And Noxious Gases
Fail To Daut Kager-Well-Chemists

by Marion Coen

Now is the time when acid-

etched. and burn-scarred -upper-
classmen look back with mingled
mirth and agony to that happy
hour during Freshmen Week when
they learned that the laboratory
science requirement could not be
satisfied with a Chemistry Appre-
ciation course. No one, they found,
not even the most sensitive, shel-
tered, and unscientific of ‘their
number could slip through the
four years ‘ without exposure of
more than the cerebellum to sci-
entific thought and processes; not
even the most devoted English or
history major might substitute
Scientific Method or Lives of the
Chemists 103 for the more incisive
(mentally, emotionally, and occa-
sionally physically) experience of
total submergance into laboratory
work. ‘
While artfully concealing the
brown-rimmed holes in a hitherto
(pre-chemistry) favorite sweater
the upperclasmen, made objective
by ther advanced position, can
happily—if somewhat nostalgically
—recollect the many poignant
hours spent huddled over bunsen
burner and test tube rack explor-
ing the (alack—too long) Un-
known. .Of those experiments
which left a lasting impression
(on either skin, clothing, or the
imagination) she recalls several
worthy of mention to the scien-
tifically unoriented but chemically
directed freshman.

The Questionable Experiment
1.) The Bending Glass Experi-
ment: Noteworthy both because it

comprises the neophyte’s first en-
counter with the laboratory and
because it provides indisputable
proof of that startling similarity
between hot, tissue-searing glass
and its cool (and harmless) coun-
terpart.

2.) Decomposition of Elements
by Heat:. Permanently remember-
ed for its highly graphic demon-
stration of the impotence of the
bunsen burner when connected to
that spout which, though decep-
tively like the one exuding natural |

3.) Separation of Elements from
Compounds: Memorable for its
seemingly indisputable, calculated
proof that there are nine pounds
of pure silver in the American
dime.

4.) Atomic Weight of A Metal:
Memorable for its demonstration
of .the principle that one’s hands
should be off the substance plot-
form of a balance scale before re-
cording vital weights.

5.) Qualitative Analysis: Mem-
orable. Lest the incipient chemist

are you going to do after school?”

One of us remarked, “Oh—may-

I don’t. think .I’d-have .a chance
there.” The youthful societal of-
fender promptly replied, “You

There is so much that can be

Geology Survivor
Recalls Encouner

With Rocky Crew

by E. Anne Eberle

A freshman bounding gaily in
to negotiate with Mrs. Broughton
to plot the year’s schedule is not
always armed with much informa-
tion about courses which look so
exciting, stimulating, etc. to her
eager mind searching for knowl-
edge, etc. again. Perhaps a word
from a recent survivor of the geol-
ogy experience will serve to en-
lighten this bright, eager mind
before it follows its path of knowl-
edge straight up a Dead-STOP-
End-Street.

Admittedly, geology is an excel-
lent way to dabble in all the other
sciences. You will find yourself
running between your more en-

course in chemistry so you can
translate the beautiful formula
you copied in your class-notes; for
a run-down of elementary physics
so that you will understand why a
molten flow oozing down here af-
fects a perfectly innocent topog-
raphy over there; and for a short
summary of all evolution in order
to see why a gastropod that didn’t
know any better happened to in-
habit the green layer and not the
purple layer in your weekly map
quiz.

The Outdoors Life

One of geology’s finer points is
that it is “a chance to be outdoors
a lot” to quote its aficionados. This
means that you learn to operate a
geology pick in mittens amidst
snow flurries in the fall (while
studying the unit Quarries Can Be
Beautiful) and there is no better
way to commune with nature than
scrambling up sharp bits of it on
the spring field trips.

Geology requires time, but con-
sidering it objectively (in more
| than one sense), no more than
French majors spend splitting

‘pages or music majors fingering

Bryn Mawr’s worn-out pianos to
hammer out their eerie new com-
positions. Geology, as Anyone will
notice, only has Y Wiab a week,
which means that you come in all
week end to figure out what hap-
pened at the 38-hour blitzkrieg of

rock specimens which you helped
degenerate into gravel.

Skills and Suchlike

Skills you will acquire in ga0-
logy: ...

:1) You will become sensitive to
the deep inner meaning of each of
38 shades of colored pencils.

2) With one blow of your mighty
fingernail you will learn to reduce
to powder Bryn Mawr’s last re-
maining specimen of a rare fos-
sil.

8) You will be able to look at a
colored slide in a pitch black room
and simultaneously listen to the
instructor, find the rock © speci-
men—out of 32 in your tray—
which corresponds to the picture,
examine it carefully and write
meaningful notes thereon before
the next slide flashes on the screen.

4) You will be the first in your
neighborhood to. amaze your
friends by informing them that a
perfectly familiar, homey hill is
in the youthful, mature, or old age
era of its life.

5) You will have more paper
weights after the spring field trip
than any six of your friends.

_6) You will acquire the simple

Biology 101 Has
Hydra, Lobsters;
Requires Artistry

by Barbara Broome ’60

Scene: the Biology 101 Laboratory,
' early October. A History of Art
major, an English major, a Rus-
sian major and a Biology major

/ are found seated on high stools
huddled around a table. Each is

‘observing something very close-
ly.

“I can’t see anything! Every-
thing’s all black!” (Her hand is
covering the specimen).

“T see some black: wavy things.”
(The reflection of her eyelashes).

“T just can’t believe it! It looks
just the way Miss Gardiner said
it would.”

November

“My hydra keeps curling up and
all I have to draw is a lump.”

“Mine won’t stay still long
enough for me to draw him.”

December

“T’ll never be able to look at a

lobster again.”
February

“But they told me I had a MALE
dogfish!” (as the lab instructor
removes the six baby dogfish).
’ “T can’t find the sub-clavian ar-
tery anwhere.” (This, of course,
is the long strand she just cut in
half by mistake a moment before).

April

“My slide just doesn’t look like
anyone else’s. I’ve got all sorts
of jagged lines through it.” One
cracked slide—$1.98).

Yes, the geologist may have
field trips but only the biologist
has the lobster, the dogfish, the
chick and the A. E. Romer’s Man
and the Vertebrates besides! The
lab, as one may gather from the
previous comments, is the place in
which the great issues of the day
are solved: ie, why the hydra
curled up (the window was open
—he was cold) or whether the lob-
ster. should be named Larry or
Lloyd. Here, these particular ani-
mals and the odor of formaldihyde
take on ‘a new and special meaning
for the student. Here, Bryn Mawr-
ters who “just can’t see this” or
“just can’t find that” wave their
arms frantically for the aid of a
lab instructor. Here, too, one
quickly learns that there is a dis-
tinct difference between. a lab
notebook and an English composi-
tion and discovers a bit too late
that a good course-in-basiedraw-
ing might have helped consider-
ably.

However, one need not be an
artist nor a scientist. Fear not!
Biology 101 has a great deal to
offer the interested and inquiring
mind—even that of the most “un-
scientific” person!

fit of the community and faculty

again feel surging through their
arteries an intense desire to in-
crease their physical appreciation
of fall. Here at Bryn Mawr, we
are very fortunate in. having a
most understanding Physical Ed-
ucation department. Their aim is
to satisfy this urge, and thus they
allow us, actually they require (or
force?) freshmen and sophomores
to participate in fall sports.

« The student seeking self-ex-
pression can find many creative
outlets. For those who have ever
desired to join Robin Hood’s band

or who feel that they have weak
arms, I highly recommend arch-
ery. Here igs a_not-to-be-missed
opportunity to hurl - straight
sticks at a round bundle of hay.

‘Golf is recommended: for anyone
intending to run for President.
(Note: beginning Golf is played
in the vicinity of Merion green
and constitutes a hazzard for all
trying to cross said green—use ex-
treme caution!)

Hockey is a popular fall sport
as it has both varsity and J. V.
teams. A hockey player is im-
mediately distinguished by her
heavy leg padding or her lack of
it (in which case, her legs are
swollen and bruised).

Tennis, too, appears to be an-
other campus favorite. There are
many girls who in both fall and
spring seem to sprout a strange
three foot long extension from
their right hands. Tennis any-
one?

Sports for Indoor-Type

But what happens to the girl
who prefers to create indoors?
Modern dance may be the answer
to her problem. Ah! the joy of
writhing ecstatically over a cold,
slippery, splintery gym floor!

But there is even more in store
for all indoor-ites. There is also
fencing—a _ graceful combination
of the best points of both the
dance and the art of self-defense.
A knowledge of fencing may
someday prove to be invaluable—
after all. who knows. when some-
one may walk up to you and slap
you in the face with his glove.

Swimming brings out the fish
in all of us, and fall gives all mer-
maids or would-be mermaids a
chance to swim. For all advanced
‘Swimmers, the Red Cross Senior
Life Saving course gives you a
chance to both earn your life sav-
ing card and become a Bryn Mawr

Marriage Lectures
Will Begin Soon

Every year the college offers a
lecture and discussion series on
marriage in which the social, psy-
chological, physiological and prac-
tical aspects of marriage are pre-
sented by specialists in health,
marriage counselling and family
life. The dates and topics of the
lectures are given below. Partici-
pating in the presentation are Mr.
Richard. N. Hey, Supervisor of
Education for Marriage and Fam-
ily Living, Marriage. Council of
Philadelphia, and Instructor in
Family Study, Department of
Psychiatry, School of Medicine,
University of Pennsylvania, and
Dr. Elizabeth Humeston, College
Physician of Bryn Mawr College.
The course offers the opportunity
not only to read -and™ listen but
also to ask questions and join in
exchange of opinion around sig-
nificant questions relating to mar-
riage.

Students sometimes find it help-
ful to have individual counselling.
Applications for this can be made
with the leaders of the series for

convenient hours during the day

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 upperclassman )
to each of the four organizations
mentioned above, who serve on
