OKAY NDEA LOANS AT BRYN MAWR

Monday's discussion of the budget: Small but explosive.

Open Meeting Probes

Budget, Possible Hike

Should Common Treasury dues
be hiked four dollars from $11 to
$15 per student? Discussion ofthis

question, brought up recently by.a
‘motion.on the floor .in Undergrad
for such a hike, was thrown out

at an open meeting on Monday night.
In the process, the proposed
Common ‘Treasury ~ Budget for

~-1963-’64 was reviewed, The fol-
‘lowing is a- breakdown of how much

money each Undergrad-supported
organization receives: Alliance,

~ $950; Arts Council, $600; A,A°,

$700; League, $575; Self-Gov.,
$380; Undergrad, $4,130. Total
budget: $7,436 (General Fund

Each organization was asked
whether it felt that, it needed a
larger amount of money. Alliance
reported it was happy. with its -
budget, as did League, Self-Gov.,
and Arts Council. A.A. asked for
an additional $100-150 for in-
creased activities in--Dance Club
and Outing Club. Undergrad said
that it needed an additional $1,050:
$350 for WBMC, $300 for the Social

,Committee, and $400 for N.S,A,

Bryn Mawr will apply to parti-
cipate in the National “Defense
Education Act program for loans
to undergraduates and graduates,
Miss McBride announced today.

The decision was reached last»
week by the Board of Trustees,

who acted-on a faculty recommen- -
dation that we apply under the

NDEA ‘for loan funds, It is. the

~ Yesult’of several ‘years® study of

the problem.
In the beginning, Bryn Mawr

_refused to participate in the NDEA

loan program because of anumber
of objectionable points in the legis-

_ lation, of which‘the disclaimer
_oath has received the most pub-
licity.

President McBride said of the
change - in ‘policy that ‘“‘It is a
question of at what point you have
done about as muchas you can do,’?
That stage has been reached where
“the legislation has improved
enough so that it becomes more
important to try and give individ-
uals the right to make the choice, ae
she pointed out,

_ Originally, the College felt that
the principles on which it took
issue to the NDEA were important
enough to supercede the individ-

_ual’s right to decide if she wanted

an NDEA loan. ‘‘Each course of
‘Action has its own disadvantages.’”
‘*We’ll continue to make clear
what we think are necessary im-~
provements,’’ Miss McBride said.
She explained how the loans havea

scholorship feature, since for stu="~

dents who go into teaching, they are
‘forgiven’? at the rate of 10% a

year for up to 5 years of teaching.
*‘*‘Why shouldn’t this apply to doc-

‘tors, or social workers too??? she

asked, :

The problem of Bryn Mawr and
NDEA has been far more complex
than a simple choice of between
the above-mentioned alternatives
of College. action--and individual

right, The College has participated

, in the NDEA graduate fellowship

program in the beginning and con-
tinues to participate in the N.S.F.
program. ;
Originally, the N.S.F. program
involved the award of money to
individuals. It grew to encompass

awards to colleges which then’

distributed the money to individ-
uals. While Bryn Mawr did not
support the disclaimer in the fel-
lowship’ program either, it still
did not feel it was necessary to
withdraw from the fellowship pro-
gram.

However, the loan program, open
to. both graduates and undergrad-

uates, requires that a college con-
tribute its own funds towards the
loans; and Bryn Mawr felt it had
to draw the line here,

Swarthmore has taken a stand
similar to ours, while Haverford
has moved on a different course. '
Unlike - Bryn © Mawr, pak
Haverford does not have a graduate
school’as well as anundergraduate
college to take into consideration.

‘This is a lean year,’’ the Pres -
ident said, referring to information
published recently which indicates

‘ that;-there is not enough NDEA \

money to go around, and tothe fact
that the bill has been relegatéd to
the House Rules. Committee in
Congress to work olit disparities
between — fund appropriations
passed by the Senate and the House,
“Because it is a lean year, we
might not receive funds if we do
apply,’? Miss McBride said, ‘‘but
the ~ picture. looks better for
1965-66, if not for 1964-65,”’

Juniors’ Annual Show Spotlights .
Talent and Kinkajou In Goodhart

by Beverly Chadwick

President, Graduate Club
‘The Bryn Mawr Juniors deserve
hearty congratulations. Last
Saturday, October 19, they brought
two hours of lively and unusual
fun to the stage of Goodhart with
their Show - they even ‘brought a

pressionistic and imaginative

of story, involving a runaway

jou.

was the pink-haired Baubles,

came at last obtrusive and tedious

Mrs. Broughton cited the in-
crease in large scholarship “pro-
grams, such as the National Merit,
and. the introduction of advanced
courses in the high schools as the
chief reasons for the rise in the
number and quality of college ap-
plicants from all over the country.

To meet the demands of this
new situation, Bryn Mawr in-
stituted the ABC Plan which noti-
fies applicants of their chances for
admission in the middle of their
senior year and the Early Decision
Plan which admits in December
excellent students who are sure
of their. college choice, on the
basis of their-junior year -record
and test scores,

The Admissions Committee,
however, does not limit itself to
applicants whose schools have
honors or advanced programs,
One-third of the girls come from
schools without these courses,

The higher. level of work

achieved by recent classes has

made the college adapt its courses

. accordingly. Practically all fields

have been affected by the improved
preparation, For example, out of
this year’s Freshman Class of 182,
120 students have passed, before,
entering, the language requirement’
in one language and over one-third
of the class has had four years
of ‘mathematics while the college
only suggests three years for ad-
mission.

The Alumnae seemed especially
interested in Ying Ying Tsien’s
explanation of the Advanced Place-
ment Program in which she partic-.
ipated in high school and the effect »”
it has had on her college program,
Ying -Ying described her AP
English and American History
courses as hard but exciting and.
challenging. work, She is now bene-
fiting from ‘this college work she
did during’ her senior year in high
school as she has been exempted
from several college requirements
and has the opportunity,to graduate
in three years if she wishes, Be-
sides these benefits, Ying Ying said
that the Advanced Placement Pro-
gram taught her skills necessary
for college work and gave ‘her
greater freedom in her choice of
— courses.

And They Want More Money 2

If-you have ever wondered why you pay $11.
annually «to the Common Tréasury, you should
have come'to the open meeting which Undergrad
held Monday night. Then you wouldn’t have
known at all, :

Those who attended. were giyen a budgetary
breakdown, supposedly. meant fo show how eath
organization spends the money Undergrad gives

- them, When questioned, the organization heads
revealed how in fact the quoted figures often
have nothing at all to de with how their money
is spent,

A, A. has $100 alloted to Hockey Workshop
(held in the fall), $50 of which is supposed to
go to Miss Cross, a hockey instructor, It
turns out that Miss Cross hasn’t been paid
yet, so that fifty dolldrs.has disappeared into
thin air, League listed $262 for Tutor trans-

- portation, but someone announced,,no, most of
the tutors have rides now. 'What happens to
that $262?

There may. be reasonable excuses for such
discrepancies; there probably are, -But- the



point is, the drawingrup of a budget DEMANDS.

“more responsibility than the organization heads
who receive OUR money, often for projects we
never participate in,

Even: more infuriating is the fact that they
want more money. They’re not sure yet how
they’l1l- spend it, but they assure us they can,
The saddest part of the entire matter is that
if there were. competent people to handle it,
the raise would probably be — “valuable to
us all,

Changing Of The Guard

The stepping down of ailing British Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan and the resignation
of German Chancellor Dr. Konrad Adenauer
mark the end of an era inthe history of Western
Europe, :

Macmillan’s Conservative government has
witnessed such events as most recently,
de Gaulle’s rejéction of Britain’s bid to join the
Common Market, and the sex-security scandal
climaxed by the Profumo affair. Great Britain’s
new government, headed by: Lord Home, will not
only have to cope with the tangled aftermath of
these problems, but must also face such others
as reuniting of British Conservatives and de-

. ciding on crucial foreign-policy questions,
Adenauer spent fourteen years rescuing his”
country from the physical, political, social, and
-economic chaos that followed the war. "He suc-
ceeded in establishing a country that is a major
“military and economic force in Western Europe,
a strong nation that appears asa potential ar-
biter between France and the United States,
» Adenauer’s successor, Dr. Ludwig Erhard,
intends to follow the Adenauer-suppofted coali-
tion of Christian Democrats and Frée Demo-
crats, and does not- anticipate any major altera-
‘tion of foreign policy in the near future, |
These bot all og remote as they seem to the
~ student immersed in the causes of thé French
Revolution or stylistic analyses of Wordsworth’s
lyrical ballads, are the slow ‘andpainful steps by by.

Undergrad” Pres. Clarifies Budget

To the Editor: st-$

In an effort to clear up some of
the confusion that seems to have _
arisen éver the proposed raise of
the Common Treasury dues, |

-would like to explain some pro-

cedural points as well as the
purpose. of:the open meeting Mon-
day evening, October 21st, —

The Constitution of the Under-
graduate Association states; ‘“The
Executive Council has the power —

“to specify and collect Common

Treasury dues in accordance with
the budgets submitted by the mem-
ber organizations, and to deter-
mine the.Common Treasury bud-

get after consultation with the
‘Common Treasurer.” Unless Leg-

islature is called, the vote of the
Executive Council, which requires
a two-thirds majority, is final.
According tothe Constitution, Leg-
islature “may ~be~ called by- the
President of the Self-Government
Association and/or the President
of the Undergraduate Association
or by a majority vote of their
governing boards, [If ten per cent
of the student body (67 students -

this: year); or thirty: members of
: Legislature sign a petition; Legis-

lature must be called at their
request.”’ :

At the Executive Council on.
Monday evening, October 14th, a
motion was made and seconded to ©
raise. the dues from efléven to
fifteen dollars to enable the or-
ganizations to expand their re-
spective programs, Instead of vot-
ing on this motion immediately,
the Council decided to: hold an
open meeting Monday evening,
October 21st, to. discuss the need
for such an increase and to give
interested students an opportunity
to question personajly the heads _
of the organizations. When the
members of the Executive Council
vote on the motion to increase the
dues, they will consider both the
opinions of the various organiza- *

tion heads as expressed at the .
‘Open meeting and the majority,

opinion in the halls’ as expressed
to the respective Undergrad hall
representatives, In addition, those
organization heads who feel a def-
inite need for an increase in dues
will be,given an opportunity to
publish ‘articles in the NEWS in
which the collection of additional
funds would be justified to the
entire undergraduate body.

I hope this clears up some of
the confusion, If there are any
further questions about what. has
happened or what will happen, I
suggest you see your Undergrad
Rep or come tg an Undergrad
meeting, held every Monday eve-

“ning at 9:45 in the Roost,

Dorothy Meadow
President, Undergrad

Budget, cont’d
that they were satisfied with the
present allotment. —_—

Undergrad officials simouneed
several procedural changes; 1)the
term ‘‘surplus’’ applied to. sums

_-.-in-three-of thé six_budgets is not--

accurate, and the sums are rather
balances which will be used upbe- -
fore this year *s Common Treasury
funds are received; 2) next year

the budget will be on a July 1 basis -

rather than thé present May to
May which created these erron-
eously called ‘‘surpluses,”’

.. Several students asked why the
clubs did not try to re-allocate
some.of their presént funds before
they asked for additional money.
‘One girl asked how the clubs could
ask for more money if they didn’t.



To The Baitor:
~ I would like to. clarity two ques-
- tions that may have been lingering
in peoples’ minds following the
Undergrad open meeting, Monday
evening.
._ First, the purpose of the meeting
was a discussion of the proposed

budget in relation to the proposed .

four dollar increase in dues, It
was therefore necessary for the
organization heads to delineate
item by item their budgets.
The budgets’ had been formula-
ted by the organization presidents
and their treasurers on the basis

of three assumptions; last year’s _
expenditures are a valid guide for

this year’s, the proposed programs
would be planned within the budget

~-and-this budget would be calculated

from the Common Treasury dues
of $11.00 per person.

‘The motion for the $4.00 increase
in Common Treasury dues came
from the floor of the Executive
Council, It was’ the function and
responsibility of those who pro-.
‘posed the motion to substantiate
it with concrete suggestions for the
use of the added income.

The second question I wouldlike

to clarity is that the increase does
not have to be $4.00. From Monday
night’s discussion it was obvious
that the Social Chairman, College
Inn Committee, WBMC and the
NSA co-ordinator could use higher
allocations. From their requests
it is obvious. that the MAXIMUM
increase of dues should be $2.00.
This would allow sufficient funds
for the expansion of the above
programs.

Eugenie Ladner.

Common Treasurer

The Library —

To the Editor;

Who's Afraid of (Virginia?) Wolt,

Into early evening we did pur-
posefully (but innocently unaware)
‘wend our way from that Bastion
Rhoads to yon Cloistered Towers.
The stranger (I) and she (many
years native) pushed aside those
strong doors and descended into
that hallowed literary haunt. Lo,

"than did greet’ us ‘with fire addrage
- a Scyllan apparition, Cerberus.

Engorged authority barked. We ran
in fear and wonder of its bite. O,
Virgil what Can’t O is this?

® ’. §.EM.

To the Editor:
I very happy to see ‘tie

le last week. discussing
Lib = policy concerning es-
corted boys who wish to study
in the Reading Room. Clarification
of the policy on this point is
urgently needed. Nowhere has. it
been made explicit that escorted
boys are not permitted to study
in the Library, nor iga rule like
this at all justified, *

Perhaps it should be pointed |

out that there are few places

whtere one can study’ with a date:

after 6:30 p.m. Goodhart and the
Smokers in the Halls are too
noisy. and are not furnished in

manner conducive tocomfortable .

efficient studying. I would also
eon that there is not ashortage
of space ‘in the Library; there
are always more carrells available
than there are students who wish
to use them.

I feel that so long as’ our es-",
corts ‘do not attempt to. borrow ~

books without permission, so long

as -there is enough space in the -
Reading Room, and so long as:

_ there is no other place on campus

Budget Raise Questioned
To the Editor:

The actual purpose of the re-~-
cent Undergrad open meeting on
the proposed raise in student dues.
‘was to solicit suggestions on pos- —

_ sible ways the increased revenue

could be spent. This was distes -.
sing in several respects; _
a) .The procedure ‘seems to re-"
.verse the proper method for
» -making up a budget; requests
should come from presidents
of organizations: for specific
sums to be spent on concrete
projects. We realize the value
of an emergency fund, but
understand one already exists.
b) It was apparent that not only
immediate funds, but when
asked how additional money
might be spent, most club
presidents’ were unable: to
make definite suggestions. The
few_ suggestions which were
“made amounted to about
$900.00, while the proposed
. raise is for $2800.00. Even
this $900.00 seemed torepre- —
sent need created for the oc-
casion rather than projects
impossible in the past due to
lack of funds.
In addition to issues raised at
_the meeting, we were alarmed to
realize that the student body has
no direct control over the Under-:
graduate budget. One result is |
that money can be levied for pro-
jects: for which. there is not
widespread student approval. An
example of this is the proposed
doubling of the N.S.A, budget for
the sole purpose of tripling repre-
sentation at a single conference.
_We feel that the procedure provided
by petition to Legislature is cum-
bersome and ineffective, and we
should “like to see ‘a student
referendum.
Sincerely,
Ellen Prosnitz

Eight In Coop Experiment
In Off- Campus Domesticity -

Why did eight girls decide to
live’ eff campus in:a Cooperative
House this year?

The Coop, on Roberts Road, was

organized by several girls who
feel that not every college student
is happy in a dorm, and that living
with a smaller compatible group

in..such. a project. would be an .

interesting way to spend. at least
two years of college life. ’

.They believe the spirit of Bryn

Mawr is to give each individual a
‘chance to develop his educational
potential to the fullest, and that
dormitory life does not allow every
girl to do this,

Under the direction of Dean
Marshall, these eight girls decided
to try living together and sharing
duties and expenses, This has not
been without its Sisaavantages, the
girls agree.-- : 1

There are the problems offtting—

each meal (sometimes this takes

two hours), doing the housekeeping, ,
and just. getting to campus from

rather far away.

Nevertheless, the, girls in the
Coop think that being able to choose
what they want for dinner, meeting
many new people during lunch at
other dorms, and being more-on~
their own outweigh the disadvan-

> tages of cooperative living.

Cunningham Recital

_A Dance Experiment

by Senta_Driver, ’64
In a concert at Swarthmore on
Friday night Merce Cunningham

presented three works represent-
* ing important aspects of his unusual
. choreographic theory.

. “Story,’? premiered this year,
was the newest work on the pro-
gram, and is based upon operations
of-chance in the determination of
sét, costumes, props and sequence

-of sections as well as inthe design

of the movement, The effect is
uneven but can be striking: the
piece’s fidelity to pure dance, with
ng-extraneous ‘‘message,”’ and to
indeterminacy. offsets the disap-
pointment of missing certain
effects which do not recur in the
next performance although they
seem especially appropriate. The

company performed brilliantly,

with the exception of Viola-Farber,

who seems uhable to convince her °*

audience that her ‘idck of control
in-simple balances may have been

intended by the choreographer. (or =

the dice),.

‘*Aeon,’’ possibly Cunningtem’ Ss
most controversial.work, isa year

Unusual Concert at Haverford
Features Strange Instruments

Continuing in its tradition of
bringing the unusual tothe college,
Haverford presented the six mem-
ber “Lasry-Baschet- group in a
concert entitled ‘‘New Sounds from
France’’’ on Friday, October 18,
All instruments .used were made by

Danville demonstrations and ac-
companying police brutality.

The most outstanding charac-
teristic\of the afternoon was Mr.
Cambell himself. He is obviously
deeply committed to the Civil
Rights struggle. Yet he had the
perception to know the limits to
impose in expressing his enthu-
siasm in order to maintain an

emotional level an idealistic, in-—

tellectual audience could perceive.
The conditions in Danville are not
more horrible than those ‘in other

~ Hell-pits in the South, But Mr.

Cambell brought the problem to a
personal level, and by so doing,
made the.horror more real,

A white housewife from Beth-
esda spoke briefly about the hu-

“-miliations she suffered in a Dan-

ville jail for having participated
in’ a Civil Rights picket.
~ Phe net reaction to. Friday’s
lecture was a sense of frustration
atthe_realization.that the job ofa
student is td study, not picket full-
time. But there is a great deal that
can be done by students who are
.unable to make sacrifices on the
scale of a jail ‘sentence, Mr. Cam-
bell invited any students so moti-
vated to contact him for further
information.

B.M.C. Cheerleaders, Ten Strong,
Spur Haverford to Football Victory

Until recently-the predominant

cm cheer re-echoing from Bryn

Mawr’s ivy-covered walls was the
‘“«Anassa
Kata,’’ the eapessi Greek vic- |
tory cry.

But now several ‘less classical
forms have invaded Bryn. Mawr’s
traditional repertory via a week-
old~ ten-girl cheerleading squad

‘formed at the request of the Haver-
Sea ford football team.

The mighty
’Fords, desiring increased sup-
port at their games, sent a note

‘to Undergrad President Dorothy

Meadow requesting Bryn Mawr
cheerleaders.

_ Although this petition was vetoed
by the more sophisticated mem-
bers of Executive Board at the
October 7 meeting, the idea appeal-
ed to several energetic Bryn
Mawrters who began practice ses-
sions-a- week later..The group,
which has-expanded to include ten,
made its debut at the Hopkins-
Haverford game, last Saturday,
Ottober 19, and is still basking
in its great success, Alma Lee
"67, commented, ‘We weren’t the
objects. of even good-natured
mockery or derision - which we

“well expected,” and Barbara

O’Neil '66, cited the ‘fantastic
support from everybody.’?

Hofstadter Gives Whiting Lecture
Discusses Free Silver Question

*tJoining in the cry ‘Crime of
73’ required audacity,..for the
silver supporters of 1894’’ com-
mented Professor Richard Hof-
stadter. of Columbia University.
He spoke on ‘‘Free Silver and The
Populist Movement’’ for the annual
Malhlor Whiting Lecture in History.

Mr. Hofstadter based his dis-

cussion of the silver question, |

“the primary issue of the presi-
dential campaign’ of .1896’’ on a
pamphlet by William’ Harvey
(better known as ‘‘Coin’”’ Harvey,)
entitled, COIN’S FINANCIAL
SCHOOL...

The United States at this
time was in a severe depression,
and an infusion of cheap money was
supposed to revitalize the monitary
system.

“COIN’S FINANCIAL
SCHOOL,’’ said Professor Hof-
stadter, ‘‘was to Free Silver what
COMMON SENSE wastothe Amer-
ican Revolution,’ ‘and while the
pamphlet was ‘“‘melodramatic’’ and
‘‘largely irrelevant’’ it was to be
found in ‘‘every cigar store’’ and
in its ‘simple, effective literary
form’ was an excellent example

Some of the main points which
Mr.. Hofstadter brought out were

that the pamphlet is. an attack

against the congress of 1873 which
put the United States on a gold
standard, this action commonly
referred to as the ‘‘Crime of 73,’’
and that the pamphlet held an
attack against Britain whose fi-
nancial. movements were. copied
by the rest of the world. and was
thus responsible for the ‘golden
depression,”’

“The gold supporters,’’

stressed Hofstadter, were por-

trayed as ‘“‘unsympathetic” andthe
silver -as ‘‘downtrodden,’’ How-.
ever, ‘concluded, Professor Hof-
stadter, the United States which
was at that time a debtor nation,
would :have experienced ‘‘a dis-
aster’’ if it had been put on the
silver standard or a bimonitary
system at a rate of 16 to one,

cheers, mimeographed on tradi-

Perhaps the most popular of
their cheers. ‘was the rousing
“Alabama Shakeit,’’ although one

ishly confessed, **I guess a. lot

Joyce Blair ’66, commented that
