by Juli Kasius, President

There’ is nothing glamorous about

it-is so lacking in glamour that very
few people know where it is, in spite
of the fact that the third’ door on
the right as one approaches the Com-
mon Room bears a wooden plaque
with ‘the neatly-worded title “Selt-
Government”.

Bryn Mawr ilies was one of 21
private liberal arts colleges to re-
ceive grants from the Ford Founda-
tion this summer."The College will
get $2.5 million, the largest amount
ever offered to Bryn Mawr by any
foundation.. The grant must bé
‘matched at a rate of three to one.
This. means that: in the next three
years Bryn Mawr must raise $7,500,-
000.

The grants were made under the
Foundation’s Special Program in Ed-
‘ucation, whose objective’ is to -ad-
vance the® development. of selected
sdivats institutions of higher educa-
tion as national and regional centers
of excellence. Initially limited~ to
larger universities, the Special Pro-
gram ‘was. extended last September
to four-year independent liberal arts
colleges in- an effort to ‘strengthen
regional. contributions in liberal edu-
cation. According to Mr. Henry T.
Heald; P#esidént of: tlie Foundation:
“The objective of the Specia] Pro-
gram. is to build on excellence - and |

institutions with -. differing -back-
grounds, geographic . locations, and
plans for the future.”

exhausting. Never again will four

to make it more bearable is for you
to imagine’that this is: not Freshman
Week at all and that you are not
Freshmen. Perhaps, you have your
own imaginary: antidote.

Remember though, that if you. are

In case you’ve never seen or heard
of field hockey» the game of hockey

The game. consists of a start trons: —

each side to shoot the hard ball into
the opposing team’s goal cage
through a series of skillful passes.
The defense may try.to take the ball
at any.time and pass it.to. their own
attack. A game, well played, against
the background of autumn-colored

Freshman Week, as freshmen,

tegically located edifice, the Li-

brary. This tour, though a high-

light of Orientation, is subject to

man who can take in anything by
this time; and 2) the library does
not reveal:its mysteries, or even

of a rectangle, one of the more
elementary polygons, Passages on
three story levels follow the sides
of this figure. On paper nothing
could be simpler; however, there
is a considerable complication’ on
the side facing Taylor called the
Main Reading Room. The Refer-
ence Room, ‘random = seminaries,
unexpected exits, ante-chambers,

.-and partitioning doors assure a

workout for the traveyser.

LecturegoersLearn
To Vanquish Guilt

Since Bryn Mawr’s purpose is to
educate--its daughters; itis not ~sur-
prising that it. provides more ways
than one to acquire knowledge. At-
tendance at classes, fulfillment. of
assignments and-visits to Haverford
are simply the most obvious: oppor-
tunities for learning. A delightfully:
painless alternaffve is to go to lec-
tures,

No week passes 3 by without one or
more oratorical offerings which range
from “The Ionic Structure of Mono-

sodiumhydroxide” and “Explorations |.
of Roman Drains” to “Water Ima-} '

gery*in Milton” and “The Socio-Eco-
nomic Historicity of Lower Molda-
via,” The various (and extremely
variety lectures are sponsored by a
related (more or less) department.

Unless the topic is very broad (see:

examples above) you can be sure of
getting a comfortable chair between

the two majors of the sponsor de-’

partment. Even if much of the: lec-
ture roars, over your héad, you can
look. forward to the refreshments
afterward. If the lecture is illus-
trated, it is well. to arrive a little
earlier in order to secure a good seat
strategically . situated near the tea
table. .

Lectures are usually: in 1 the. eve-
nings but also occasionally in the
afternoons. The former type fills in
the time. between your after-dinner
bridge game and 10 p.m. milk break
beautifully. A lecture is especially
‘handy when you are’ trying to put

off writing a paper or doing a‘ prob-|~

lem set, because it is educational and

time spent at one can never be de-/.

scribed as “wasted.”

One.aim of the: Interfaith “Associ-

of this faith.

Quakerism began in England in
the middle of the 17th century when
George Fox, having seen. a great

_ vision, rose-in’ protest against the} -~

_eremonial state religion and preach-
ed a, faith ‘based on the experience
of the individual. Although the So-
ciety of Friends has-no formal creed,
most members believe, as do other
Christians, in the Holy Trinity. Spe-
cial emphasis is placed on the Holy
Spirit whose power within men. is
considered the guiding “Inner Light”.

The goal of con-
tinual communion of the human and

way of life rather than a religion,

and, therefore, eliminates the need | ,
for ‘the symbolic rites of baptism

and communion,
Individual Dignity

Respect for the dignity of each
individual in a spiritual democracy
has led not only. to the equality of
‘women in the ministry, but also to a
feeling of responsibility. to people of
all classes and races. The American
Friends Service Committee, in car-
rying out this belief in brotherhood,
has set up extensive educational and
medical programs in under-developed
countries throughout the world.
'. Th&se Freshmen who will be at- |

day may find the Quaker method of
worship new and. perhaps ’ baffling.
The Meetings for Worship observe"

" the ‘principle’ of silence without, any

worshipper and God. There is noth-
ing to signal the beginning of the
Meeting,~ for meditation begins as

Nationwide Tests”

Damage Learning

..by~-Ellen Rothenberg 64 oss

In recent testimony before the
- House Appropriations ‘Committee,
“Vice Admiral Hyman. -G. Rickover
suggested that Congress institute
“national examinations to establish
Scholastic Standards for students
and teacher on the high school
level. Such a’ move, he stated,
would obviate the danger of high
schools’. “slighting” certain aca-
demic subjects. ’

While it is true that the kind
and quality of education is by no
means the same in: every school
system in the United States, it is
doubtful, first wheher naional ex-

__.‘amination would serve to create a

“national standard in education and
second, whether, if they did such a

- standard “would be desirable.”

In’ New: York State, where I at-
tended high school, students are
required to take. examinations pre-
pared bythe State Board of Re-|.
gents, in order to receive credit];

for many courses. Most of my|~

teachers looked upon the exams as
almost - irrelevant and continued
to rely on their own and their
supervisors’. judgment in. planning
their classes’ studies.’ Others tend-
“od to-gear their teaching to. help-
ing their_students pass the exams

ype

~~pather than to covering the work

treated in them. To the student they
were either a nuisance or a threat
depending on how welle he had
been doing in’ the course for which
_the exam was given. It seems un-
likely to me that national exam-
inatioéns would be received any dif-
ferently. For teachers and - stu-
dents who were concerned with

learning for its own sake they|.
~-would merely be an annoyance;

for others they would be’ some-
thing to circumvent.

If. national examinations did
prove effective, they might ‘simply

-make education more rigid rather}

than better A national. system

would-be unable to take: into. ac-| -
count the needs and interess of|

students in particular. areas of the

“country. ‘It ‘would. also discourage :

a experimentation with: new courses

on os



‘ ‘and new teaching methods. ,
Learning is a much more per-

sonal matter: than Admiral Rick-

ever _—— The ability to. quote

are not enough to make a good
‘teacher.. Nor do these same abili-
‘ties prove- that a student has
learned from his studies. The in-
~ spiration that a good teacher gives
his pupils may prove far more
important in their education than
reading list he assigns. A stu-
dent who has the inspiratiin will
learn that education is not a mat-
ter of doing what he is told but
. of Seeking guidance in a process
he himself carries. out.

\

kespeare or recall. :.a..formula..*

‘bers which once rang. with the thrill-
ing oratory of our fathers provide a
curious contrast to that past, today.
A man speaking in the well of the
House very seldom commands the
attention of more than a handful of
‘his colleagues who are more likely
‘to be seen talking among themsélves
about topics which shall remain for-
ever off the record.. The attention
span of the Senate*is no more re-
markable than that ,of the House,
and since the Senate lacks the fea-
ture of microphones, a visitor is un-
likely to be able to follow the train
of thought of any. but. the. most ver-
bose members. In~ the committees,



rious’ witnesses offering testimony
frequently produces some very tense
and amusing’ moments.

While my summer in Washington

framework. One of these occurred
during my first week in Washing-

to have a gratis ticket to -the Re-

John Glenn and Scott Carpenter
during their testimony before the
Space. and Astronauts Committee

and historically important votes were
held during the course of the sum-
mer, and I look forward ‘to thé day
when I can tell my grandchildren
that I was there when medicare was
defeated and when the Senate voted
in favor of cloture for the first time
in thirty-five years.

‘Probably the most vivid impres-
sion I ‘will take away from Washing-
