BRYN MAWR, PA,

Employee Wages To Be Reviewed

Bachrach Calls

In a meeting Wednesday morn-
ing, Miss McBride stated that the
Finance Committee of the Board
of Trustees would be going over the
salary levels of the college em-
ployees earlier in the year than
they would otherwise, because of
the student interest expressed in

~ last week’s NEWS,

However, she repeated the
feeling of Mr, Klug and Miss Wright
“that mattérs of employees salaries
and their living and working con-
ditions were not of student con-
cern, Students, and apparently
anyone not on the Board of Trust-
ees Finance Committee, will have
to take the Finance Committee’s
word that the situation has been
attended to properly.
Miss McBride was not aware of
any employees who had room
and/or board deducted from their
salaries who also had homes off
campus and would prefer to bring
lunch from home, The NEWS has

_ interviewed some employees who

claim this is true, She also

Harvard Referendum
Polls Vietnam Views
In Eastern Colleges

Bryn Mawr students will have an
opportunity to express their politi-
cal views this month in an all-cam-
pus referendum on the war in
Vietnam.

A non-partisan group at Harvard
has prepared the New England Uni-
versities Referendum on Vietnam,
a detailed ballot which will be pre-
sented to about thirty Eastern col-
leges on November 16-17.

According to Kim Marshall,
project coordinator, the referen-
dum has four major objectives:
to confront people with the issues
of the war in an organized, ob-
jective manner; to discern rational
opinions unobscured by emotion; to
provide a compilation of the numer-
ous referenda, surveys and in-
dividual expressions of feeling;
and, possibly, to suggest a new
type of questionnaire which in-
cludes a detailed breakdown of the
issues and which covers all view-
points, Questions on the ballot will
include such topics as the validity
of U.S. policy in Vietnam, national
and international repercussions of
the war, and the governments pre-

sentation of factual information to .

the public.

Results’ of the referendum will
be sent back to Haryard, where
they will be analyzed by computer.
Hopefully the final results willbe
available by November 22.

At Bryn Mawr the referendum
will be conducted by Alliance, Poll-
ing booths will probably be set up
in Taylor and the Library and will

_ , Mbe.-open as long as possible on the

two’ days. Voting is open to all
students, faculty members, and
personnel; in other words, anyone

~gonnected with the college, Alli

hopes that everyone will m an

- effort to vote, regardless of r

political leanings, so that abroad,
accurate picture of college opinions
can be obtained.



For Changes

is a five-and-a-half day week,

Concerning training programs
to help employees learn skills,
she said that it would be ‘‘un-
economical’’ for the college to be
involved in such work,

In the process of further in-
vestigating the employees’ situa-
tion on campus, the NEWS’ spoke
with Mr. Peter Bachrach, poli-

tical science professor, A
“pace strongly supported”
stddents’ concerns in the matter.

He said, ‘‘It is the students’ bus-
iness to look at all aspects of
community life, and we should not
make them bear responsibilities
to the community without allowing
them the right to probe any in-
consistencies within the com-
munity.’?

He agreed that the wages and
living conditions were quite poor,
and added that he had long been
aware of the de facto segregation.
He stated that it is rather ‘‘im-
pressive and ironical that non-
profit institutions such as Bryn
Mawr College have been notor-
jiously backward in employment
situations when compared to. the
hard-nosed profit organizations.’’

For the moment, Bachrach does
recognize the difficulties in re-
cruiting white domestics and the
financial problems which beset the
college, and he offered these as
explanations for the existing pro-
blems, However, he said, there

e ways which the college can
meet these problems, Bryn Mawr,
as a liberal and concerned col-
lege, must really accept the chal-
lenges of the situation and ser-
iously explore the possibilities
for alleviating it,

One of the most important in-
novations would be to have
a spokesman for the employees,
As Bachrach explained, it is very
difficult for the employer to pro-
test employees’ interests which
are different from the employers’
own, Perhaps a union would pro-
vide this spokesman,

Another possible solution to this
problem would be a very vigorous
promotion from within policy for
all ‘workers, coupled with an in-
training program. The college has
already begun promoting from
within; this policy should be en-

Undergrad Favors Dues Hike
Will Take Issue To Campus

Undergrad met Monday night to
discuss the question of a raise in
Undergrad dues. This increase is
considered necessary by Under-
grad because of the increasing
demands of campus organizations
for more financial support.

Dorm representatives to Under-
grad reported on the meetings held
in each dorm to discuss the dues
raise. In hall meetings approxi-
mately 530 students voted, 451 in
favor of a raise in dues and 72
against,

Many of those opposed to the in-
crease felt that it was unfair to
force students to contribute (by
paying Undergrad dues) to organi-
zations from Which they derive
little personal efit or in which
they do not participate. They felt
that only those who participate in
certain campus groups should be
charged dues and that students
should’ be charged admission to
campus events, such as lectures

Women, Resist! Area Group
To Give Support to Resistors

The possibility of forming a
Philadelphia area women’s re-
sistance group was discussed by
representatives from various
women’s groups at.a meeting at
the Women’s Strike for Peace
office Wednesday, November 1.

The group, if formed, would

give unified rt to draft
resistors and be independent
projects to fight the draft. «

There were many ideas ex-
pressed for future action that
women in the area could undertake.
A schedule for sending groups of

_ girls to leaflet at. the induction
center on weekday mornings was
set up. Several girls were in-
terested in participating in civil
disobedience at the induction
center on December 4th. Every-

one seemed to agree on the im-
portance of girls demonstrating
their involvement rather than their
detachment from the draft and
the war. by ‘‘being there’ when :
men are confronted with the army.

Talking to other women -- pri-
marily mothers -- about the draft
was another project considered.
A ‘twoman to woman’ leaflet
could be written up to be passed
out at supermarkets, PTA meet-
ings and women’s groups.

and a raise in the price of the
movie series.

Other students were willing to
accept the dues raise only if the
very small (and, they felt, highly
selective) groups did not benefit
from the increase.

Radnor, both Pembrokes, and
Denbigh were strongly in favor of
an increase while Rhoads seemed to

have the greatest opposition, Parti-
cipation in Erdman was rated as
very low.

The possibility and problems in-
volved in the idea of sending stu-
dents a bill for Undergrad dues
over the summer instead of in-
cluding them:..on Payday were also
discussed, but no decision was
reached.

Although Undergrad was almost
unanimously in favor of the in-
crease in student dues, and is not
required to bring’ the issue to a
campus vote, the question will be
referred to an all-campus vote
before Thanksgiving.

The problem of hall announcers
was alsq discussed at Monday’s
meeting. Beginning Monday, No-
vember 13, there will be no more
announcements read in Bryn Mawr
dining rooms.

Instead, hall announcers will pick
up their announcements between 12
and 1 p.m. and post them on dorm
bulletin boards. The boards will be
arranged in. columns by days and
organizations. In order to keep the
boards neat, all cards must be
uniform (3x5). Pembroke and
Rhoads will need two cards each.

The announcers will receive ten
dollars a semester (starting next
semester). This new system will
save Undergrad some money.

Schoolteaching

The symposium on schoolteaching last weekend |

was a tremendous success, Leaving aside for a
moment the very important topic of discussion,
the symposium gave Bryn Mawr students a néeded
opportunity to meet and talk to Bryn Mawr alumnae,
Contact with adults and people out inthe real world
is too infrequent for many students here,

The topic for the day, schoolteaching as a career,
was handled by all the speakers with excitement
and imagination, The alumnae who were invited
were all in teaching, but there the similarity ended,
Some had taught in schools in disadvantaged urban
areas, some in Africa, one specialized in educat-
ing retarded children, one had set up a bilingual
school in Washington. D,C, They were all able to
convey to their audiences their special feelings
about teaching; they explained beautifully the re-
wards and excitements of their jobs.

Schoolteaching is by far the most frequently
chosen career of a Bryn Mawr graduate, It is
easy to see why, At the risk of patting ourselves
on the back, Bryn Mawr students often have a
uniqueness, a stubbornness and an ability to
articulate that makes them well fitted to be good
teachers,

The alumnae, especially Mrs, Thacher, and the
Curriculum Committee, especially Susan Nosco,
are to be congratulated on the success of their
event, K.B.

Undergrad Dues

It would seem that an elected body such as
Undergrad should have the right to decide where
its funds should go without having to reassure its
constituents that the money is being delegated to
their personal organizations. ;

Students have good cause to think about what
a raise in dues means, but the argument ‘‘I don’t
want to pay for something I don’t participate in’’
seems a poor and childish reason for opposition.

Undergrad’s job is to keep campus groups alive
by offering them financial support, and to pay
for many services from which all Bryn Mawr
students benefit. Its job is not to discriminate
against certain organizations whose membership
is smaller than others’ and whose activities do
not receive as much attention as those of other
groups. By being so petty about the use of the
dues, students make it difficult for Undergrad
to perform its functions for the student body.

No student is asked or expected to participate
in every college organization, but surely by pay-
ing more in dues she will receive enough of the
benefit through her own groups to justify the

Coffee Nerves



To the Editor:

Morning Coffee Hours have de-
generated. Originally instituted to
provide an opportunity for girls
to meet friends from other dorms
and to entertain faculty, they have
now become an opportunity to make
up for a missed breakfast as glut-
tonously and as quickly as possi-
ble. The record now stands at
five donuts in about two minutes -
two chocolate, two glazed, and one
plain.

In addition, empty stomachs
drive chanting hoards into the
inner sanctum of dormitory kitch-
ens, leaving hostesses feeling
helpless and rejected and incon-
veniencing the cooks.

We don’t need more donuts; we
need a little restraint. We would

To the Editor:

On behalf of the Ist Squad, 3rd

6th Infantry, I would like to send
you our cordial greetings on the
24th day of October 1967,

The idea of this letter being
written was thought up from the
idea of ‘‘Air Mail Viet Nam,”
I believe some of you have pro-
bably heard of this type corr-
espondence which originated two
years ago for the troops stat-
ioned in Viet Nam, It was and
still is a very good moral (sic)
booster and makes the troops feel
a little better about the anti-Viet
Nam demonstrations,

The main reason your school
was chosen was because the maj-
ority of the squad is from the

to correspond with a woman from

Frosh-tration

To the Editor:

' Every spring the Bryn Mawr
undergraduates nominate 6fficers
for the ‘‘Big Six.’? Campaigning is
not a part of the elections; the
nominees, however, are required
to visit each hall in order to state
their plans for the office, as well
as to answer any pertinent ques-
tions. Every fall the freshmen
hold a meeting to nominate class
officers and representatives. At
the close of the nominations, the
candidates remain in the auditor-
ium for a brief discussion period.
Anyone not present at the meet-
ing will have no other opportunity
to compare the. qualifications of
the different candidates.. There
are no speeches in the dorms;

“written statements are not dis-

tributed. :

Because of heavy rain, the at-
tendance at this year’s meeting to
nominate representatives to Un-
dergrad and a freshman social
chairman. was unfortunately mini-

. mal,-One of our larger dorms was

not represented at all, and by no

“means was there a majority of

the freshman residents from any
of the others.

A grand total of six freshmen
in Radnor had enough knowledge
of the candidates to feel qualified
to vote. The others abstained

yather than vote in complete ig-

norance for a familiar face or an
interesting name. Under these cir-
cumstances, it was not even possi-
ble to turn the election into the
usual popularity contest, which
would have been somewhat more
desirable because at least there
would have been strong opinions
one way or the other, We propose
that a written statement from each
candidate be distributed to all the
dorms. Perhaps even more effec-
tive would be a spetial Candi-
dates’ Night prior to the elec-
tions at which the nominees would
present their views. Either way,
the students would have at least
some knowledge of each candi-
date and would be more quali-
fied to vote. As freshman hall
representative, I investigated
these possibilities and found that
they aren’t ‘‘the traditional thin
to do.”? ‘
The biggest objection to these
propositions is that the fresh-
man class really doesn’t do any-
thing; and it therefore makes lit-
tle difference who is elected. This

is the very reason that we fresh- ~

“Letters to the Editor

men should have a better knowl-
edge ofthe candidates; for by know-
ing the potentials of the several
nominees, we can elect people
whom we are willing to support.
Participation of the freshman class |
will therefore be greater, and we
may come to have an actual voice
in the formation of Bryn Mawr
student policy.

College Provides. Psychiatric Help;
Girls Bring Academic, Social Woes

Where does a Bryn Mawr stu-
dent go with a problem? If peers
and parents offer no help, she
traditionally takes the matter to
a dean. But deans are busy people,
and students tend to be shy if the
problem is anything more per-
sonal than a schedule conflict.
So the college offers further
sources of aid, and a student can
go far toward solving a problem
before: passing out of the school’s
domain.

If a student decides she has a
problem which neither friend, par-
ent, nor dean can handle, she goes
first of three psycholog-
ical social wo:
Waelder, Mrs. E
ton, or Mrs, Eleanor Beatty. The
interview the student and estimate
the gravity of the problem. If the

In fact, its connection with Bryn

sidiary function, under another
name, the Student Counselling

In Tuscany Dig

Mr. Kyle Phillips of the archae-

It is his second season in Tuscany. ©

The site is at Paggio Civitate,

C Work on the excavation lasted
from June 15 until August 18. An
enormous rectangular building,
richly decorated, was uncovered.
Because of its scale and peculiar
plan, it is probably not a temple,
according to Mr. Phillips’ report.
That is important because it had
been assumed that the type of ar-

Mixers: Fertile Ground for Sophisticated Wallflowers

Dora Chizea is a junior from
Nigeria. She has asked to
write more or less regularly for
the NEWS, commenting on the
American scene and the Bryn
Mawr scene. She says she has
nothing in particular in mind
for the series, but predicts that
if her articles are annoying
enough to make the reader
want to throw away the paper,
that is the sign of the begin-
ning of love and friendship
between reader and writer.

Perhaps you have noticed it
but have been too polite to com-
ment on the fact that a Bryn Mawr’
girl in isolation could be decent,
attractive or even beautiful! But

do not suppose the same can be .

said of Bryn Mawr girls ingroups.
As a matter of fact, any group of
Bryn Mavr girls is a collection of
long hairs, and long legs, with
faces which remind you of Modig-
liani’s paintings.

That reminds me of the mixer
held at the Gym after the Junior
Show.. Many of us come with the
intention of swinging to and fro
like a pendulum but when we saw
our faces in these characteristic

collections, one, two, STOP! We
stopped swinging and assumed the
so called intellectual look which
reminds you only of lecture rooms
and drive the boys further and
further away.

Sure there were girls with mini
and micro-mini skirts, girls with
dirty blue pants, girls with jazzy
shirts and girls all painted and
disfigured with make-ups. Sure

‘there were girls of all shapes

and. sizes, (the kind the com-
puter will find difficult to classi-

. fy) but there also, were some boys

who came to the mixer. As a
matter of fact, there were more
boys than girls. The music was
vibrating, but very few girls were
rocking and rolling. Most of them
stood -by. the doorway looking as
gloomy as ever with frustrations
written over their faces. Some
of them were quietly discussing
their French papers, others their
homework, but most of them chose
to be dumb and dumb they re-
mained until they got to their
dormitories. Before I go with them,
however, I hope you discover that
Bryn Mawr girls do not watch
other Bryn Mawr girls dance --
if they do, they must act indif-
ferent like dancing had nothing to
do with their being at the mixers.

A boy pushed his way through

the crowd of girls; he wanted to

rock and roll, but he had no
date. Every time he tried to ask
a girl to dance, as he approached,
the girl turned her face away, or
looked so sternly that I could hear
the boy’s inner voice say
‘‘Whaaooh. I thought it was a
dame, I did not know it was a
stone!”? When he walked into a
girl talking he said to himself,
‘‘T hope she is not talking about
Philosophy. I am only an Eng-
lish major and besides I cannot
remember anything now.’’

The girls? What about them?
Sure friends you know what goes
on in*their minds ‘‘Oh, he is so
cute I hope he asks me to dance.”
but Whooop! The discouraged boy
turns away and her heart goes ‘‘Oh
no, he is such a wretch! What is
he doing at this mixer anyway.’’

Back to the dormitories they
sat in groups of twos, threes, or
more and moaned about the ‘bad’
mixer and the ‘sad’ waste of time.

You know what, they do manage
to get some sleep and then they
hear about the Prince Tiger dance
which will pay $20.00 to an at-
tractive go-go-girl and off to the
Common Room they hopped for a
try out. Something makes me won-
der, I think boys have some in-
teresting influence on the girls

that action is ‘freeze.’

Every once in a while you get
a “smiling and laughing’? group
of Bryn Mavr girls, like we had
on the first College Bowl vic-
tory day. For a while the camera
smile characteristic of Bryn Mawr
girls’ ‘‘Hil’? became real smiles
and even loud laughter and cheer
like the Beatles used to get. I
was willing to join with them
while they sat around the tele-
visions like children awaiting
Father Christmas, but then an ant
crawling over my eyeglasses
forced me to remove them. I un-
buttoned the lower end of my
shirt and tried to clean my glasses
with the edge. With my eyes fixed
on the TV like a praying-mantis,
I was not aware of what I was
doing.

‘‘Watch yourself Dora,’’ a girl
yells out. ‘‘Why, fool?” I asked.
‘‘Stop it!?’? she screamed. ‘‘What?’’
I asked. ‘‘You are cleaning your

ous (thirty pages with more held
over until the next issue), a prob-
lem the old REVIEW apparently
never had, Lack of editing may
have reduced rejection traumas
for the writers, but the question
still remains---if the REVIEW
only has money for sixty pages
in one whole year, should space
be wasted on some of the more
obviously bad pieces?

Co-editor Ruth Gais wrote in
a short preface to the REVIEW
(and fellow co-editor John Stu-
art) that she ‘‘would like to print
an honest magazine which would
be a vehicle for the exchange of
ideas on both campuses,” And
I think the first issue does pro-
vide a place for the exchange of
ideas, Perhaps this is all that
is required, The Art Show in
Erdman was also a reflection of
this same need to express with-
out the limitations of criticism,

However, much as it may hurt
the ego to be rejected, or re-
written, criticism also generally
spurs one to write better (or paint
or:act better),

If people would continue to con-
tribute to the REVIEW even if it
were edited, I think the magazine
would be a better one, (Still com-
ing out once a month, still in-
formal, perhaps a bit shorter.)
But the REVIEW as it is now keeps
Bryn Mawr and Haverford from
being a no-man’s -land for fiction
writers (a by no means small
acccomplishment), and maybe by
«being non-edited it is bringing all
sorts of sensitive writers out of
their shells, (But where is the fac-
ulty--or are they supersensitive to
being read?)

The pieces themselves repre-
sent writers in all stages of de-
velopment, and the poetry is as
a whole, much better than the
stories, A few personal favorites;
‘‘Limbo’’ by Susan Watters, ‘‘To
Susan on Her Birthday’? (read at
the Arts Show in Erdman) by

Dramatics Help
Slow Readers

To start the Symposium on School-"
teaching last Saturday, Mrs. Sara Park

Scattergood ’36 presented a teaching pro-
gram she had developed to help weak
readers. The purpose of the Symposium
was to acquaint students with some un-
usual aspects of teaching and with some
teachers who went to Bryn Mawr.

Providing a live demonstration of an
introduction to early Cretan civilization,
which was written as a short»play for
fourth to tenth graders in a conventional
school curriculum, Mrs. Scattergood used
five fourth-graders from Germantown
Friends School. The basic idea behind her
program is that it helps slow readers
while keeping the interest of the rest of
the class.

‘‘Teachers are artists. We have given
them the widest possible scope to be
artists’? explained Mrs. Scattergood,
noting that the basic pattern of her unit

can be-altered according to the specific

needs of each class.

‘‘This program takes the slow reader
and makes him the most important person
in the class. It’s good for his ego.’

Mrs. Scattergood uses a map of the
area being studied, and a table covered by
about a hundred books, ranging from
fourth grade to adult level. At the start of
the unit, each child except the readers
picks a book, and in it he finds some as-
pect of the topic which interests him. At
first the children pick easy books, but
each progresses until he becomes an expert
in his specific aspect, as his reading level
in that subject goes up.

Since the vocabulary of the play is beyond
fourth-grade level, the teacher explains it
to the readers, using a dictionary only asa
last resort. During this period of prepara-
tion, each child makes a Greek robe, a
device particularly helpful in ghetto
schools, where children rarely have new
clothes. After the reading of the play, the
teacher asks questions about it which are
answered by the experts.

The play presented on Saturday was the
story of the birth of Zeus. There were two
narrators, Chronos, Rhea, and a nurse.
Chronos, it turns out, has been eating all
of his babies so that no one can take his
power. Rhea objects, ‘‘The idle talk of
gossips turns you into a monster so
terrible not even the servants can look you
in the face.’.. Let others share the power
and you will be even stronger, because
people will respect you.” But Chronos re-
turns, ‘‘I leave you and your sniveling.
Learn to act like a queen!??

The nurse provides the solution. Rhea



Mrs. Sara Scattergood, '36 brought some

School for a dramatic presentation.

will have her next baby on Crete, where
the nurse, a she-goat, and the nymphs will
care for it.

Sample questions after the reading asked
about Chronos’ fear and what virtues
he had, ..

At the end of the presentation, Mrs.
Scattergood assigns creative homework,
such as pictures or poems..

The next speaker was Mrs. Barbara
Rebmann Coates °46, who teaches at a

Bryn Mawr Graduates Discuss Dynamic
Programs In Education At Symposium

The panel discussion led by Mrs.
Marshall introduced three Bryn Mawr
graduates (Paula Pace Smith (’64), Bonnie
Allen (?38) and Barbara Jay Schieffelin
(62) with different experiences in public
school education.

Paula Pace~ Smith spoke first about her
current work in an experimental Inter-
mediate School in New York City. Mrs.
Smith took her Master’s degree in edu-
cation at New York University. While at
Bryn Mawr, she helped to found the Bryn
Mawr-Haverford tutorial program.

Mrs. Smith said that the most valuable
part of her preparation for teaching under
the MAT program at NYU was the student
teaching. Too often, she said, there is a
gap between what you are toldabout teach-
ing and the kinds of problems you have to
face in a public school classroom,

photo by Bill Harris
of her pupils from Germantown Friends

At her present school, several new atti-
tudes toward educational problems are
being expressed in programs, Mrs. Smith
said., One two year old program involves
heterogenous groupings for social sutdies
classes. These groups include both bright
kids and children who can’t read at all.
Children who are capable and eager are
given extra work to do, while those who
have trouble with social studies receive
special attention. In thes: mixed groups,

_ kids of different backgrounds can learn

from each other, A heterogenous class-
room also demands that the teacher in-
dividualize teaching and treat each child
as having special features and difficulties.

Mrs. Smith described community parti-
cipation in the policies and programs of the
school as another new idea. A group of

teachers from her school, some of whom.

are Spanish speaking, have started dis-
cussion groups with black and Puerto Rican
parents as well as with the white middle
class pare~ts who usually come to school
meeting”. ‘rs. Smith disagreed with the
theory ' ....*ne school is the sole solution
to the community’s ills. Children are only
in school for six hours, she explained, and
the amount of attention each can be given
is slight. Many of the children have been
pushed out on their own by their families.
Others have parents who are alcoholics or
prostitutes. The kids don’t just drop these
problems at home, said Mrs. Smith. If edu-
cation is to be meaningful to children, the
community they live in must be part of and
involved in the educational process. _
‘¢How to stay in the public school class-
room,’’? was discussed by Bonnie Allen
(38). Miss Allen spent 14 years teaching
modern dance at an independent school in

New York. She received a Master’sinedu- -

cation at Harvard, and is now teaching
English at Newton South High School, as
well as supervising Harvard’s student
teachers at the school.

Miss Allen spoke of three innovations
she believes necessary to keep good teach-
ers with the students who need them. Power
is one focus of change. Teachers don’t
participate enough in decisions about
school policy, Miss Allen stated. They don’t
have the power to direct the relationship
between the school and the community. She
claimed that teachers must affect the in-
novations student needs require by shar-
ing in the power of the school board and
by reforming school administration.

Prestige is another aspect of teaching
demanding change. Salary rates rank
school officials in the sequence of adminis-
trators, guidance counselors, janitors, and
finally teachers, The teacher must liberate
herself and have the courage to take first
place by virtue of her responsibility,
according to Miss Allen. She must demand
judgments by results, that is, by how the
child is educated. She must learn to talk
frankly about money, ask for an end to
tenure, and put pressure on the university

“to undertake the role of training fine new
teachers,

The satisfaction of teachers should
undergo changes. A new variety and activ-
ity in the classroom can be sparked by

introducing team teaching, by abandoning
fadism about methods and doing what
works, and by individual, rather than rigid
discipline: The door of the classroom is
open today, claimed Miss Allen, and the
teacher is no longer shut in tradition and
oblivion.

Barbara Jay Schieffelin (’62) explained
why she went into teaching, why she got
out, and what she is doing now. After

felin spent a year teaching in Africa during
which, she said, she didn’t know what she
was doing. She decided to return to the
United States to take her Master’s at
Harvard, and hopefully gain a better idea
about teaching.

She began teaching in a Boston public
school with her degree. Again, she became
frustrated and felt helpless about the situa-
tion in the school. She realized the need
for reflection, for questioning how children
learn, how best to deal with individual
problems. .She wondered if one person
standing up before thirty others in a box-
like room is the best answer to these
questions. When you are caught up in the
immediate problems and demands of
‘teaching, reflection about the nature of
‘earning is very difficult, Miss Schieffelin.

Of Techniques

Following a symposium on newly-
developed teaching techniques held Satur-
day morning November 4, in the Goodhart

‘ guditorium, Bryn Mawr students gathered

in the Common Room for a panel dis-
cussion featuring former graduates of
the College who have gone into the field
of education.

Moderated by Isota Tucker Epes, class
of 1940 and Headmistress of Shipley School,

“ the panel consisted of Mrs. Elizabeth Mon-

roe Boggs, class of 1935; Mrs. Martha
Fuller Chatterjee, °58; and Mrs. Dorothy
Bruchholz Goodman, ’46, All three have

* developed new methods in some field of

elementary education,
Mrs, Boggs, a Bryn Mawr European
Fellow with a Ph.D, in physical chemis-

try, has worked with retarded children. A’
-founder of the National Association for

Retarded Children, Inc., she is presently
serving by presidential appointment on the
Joint Commission of Mental Health.
-\ Although during her college years Mrs.
Boggs had expected to organize secondary
school education for intelligent students,
she later became interested in those on the
opposite end of the mental scale. Working
with the retarded, she believes, is one of
the most challenging fields in education
today because more and more research
is being done and because the teacher
here, more than anywhere else, must
guard against the temptation to succumb
to hopelessness and to’ blame the child
for his lack of progress. The teacher
must have infinite patience and be able to
survive the frustrations of his job. There-
fore not everyone is qualified. A program
called Student Work Experience and Train-
ing gives undergraduate and graduate
students a chance to work temporarily in
the field to see if they, are suited for it.
Mrs. Chatterjee has combined an in-
terest in education with a love of drama
and international affairs in her work asan
English teacher at the United Nations
School, She teaches children of forty dif-



photo by Bill Harris

Mrs. Thacher introduces the first event at the symposium. The panelists were

ferent nationalities with vastly different
cultural backgrounds and says that her job
is a very rewarding one, demanding a
great personal commitment, flexibility,
and a willingness to experiment. She
stresses the need for an active intellec-
tual interest in the subject and the teacher’s
ability to communicate it. In her class-
room, she tries to use drama to encourage
her students ‘‘to feel the life of the
written word.”

Mrs. Chatterjee is interested also in
the use of drama in teaching children
from disadvantaged areas. She told of
competitive street-corner dramatics for
teenage gangs, one of which performed so
well that it was taken to repeat the per-
formance at Expo ’67 in Canada this
summer,

Mrs. Goodman did graduate work in
Russian and Balkan studies and took her
Ph.D, at the University of London. After
several stints as a history professor at

American and Howard Universities, which
she found dissatisfying because of a lower
level of intellectual curiosity and stimu-
lation than she had known at Bryn Mawr
and Oxford, she founded the International
Bilingual Primary School in Washington,
D.C, two years ago.

The school’s function is to prepare its
students for admission to universities here
and abroad and is seeking to impose the
rigorous demands of the major national
systems onto an international system with
multilingual instruction. The school, which
started out with three students, now has
ninety-three children of thirty nationali-
ties, and nineteen teachers, only one of
whom is American. Teaching is conducted
part in English, and part in French or
Spanish. The children, who speak- their
second language all day, develop a great
proficiency in it.

Sue Averbach

The school teaching symposium culmin-
ated ina luncheon at Rhoads and a speech by
Miss McBride. Her topic was the use of the
computer in education.

The great advantage of the computer is
that it can give individualized attention to
every student. The computer makes it
possible to change mass education into a
one-to-one tutorial system.

This kind of teaching, tailored to the
needs of each student, is possible be-
cause the computer is not an unchange-
able’ textbook. Rather the computer
responds to the student -- teaches ata
rate at which he can learn, goes over
things he has problems with, does not
labor things he picks up quickly. The
student and the computer are essentially
talking to each other all the time.

Miss McBride said that the ‘‘computer
will make a greater difference in educa-
tion than any other technological inven-
tion.’? The only thing computers have not
yet been successfully programmed todois
to correct essay questions.

Computers not only can teach standard
subjects better than a teacher with 30 or
40 pupils can, it can teach new subjects
or combinations of subjects. The computer
can set up a simulated circumstance for
the child to face. For instance, a situa~-
tion can be devised -to teach the child
history, economics, decision-making pro-
cesses and empathy. The computer tells
the child that he is the king of a feudal
manor. Me has only a certain amount of
grain for the winter to divide among all
his people, Suddenly a neighbor is des-
perately in need of food because he is
being beseiged. What does the child king
do? .

The computer can be of great help in
teaching children from disadvantaged
areas who have what Miss McBride termed
‘personality problems with their teach-
ers.’”? Learning from a machine by-passes
conflicts that might otherwise arise if the
student is black and the teacher is white.

However, some students have

On Organizations Dues, Spending

Some are unable to cope with their
new freedom; these are given help
in time-organization. Some are
slow readers; for them, West House
offers a six-week reading-
improvement course, which em-
phasizes depth more than speed.

Sophomores have a special set
of problems, too. In the second
year, the newness of college has
worn off. A second-year student
is not yet in her major field and
may still be tangled up in require -
ments. It is at this level that West

_ House gets the most ‘‘Did-I-really -

come-to-the-right-place?’’ .cases.
The counselor helps the student
to decide whether this is a valid
question or is simply a tempor-
ary depression.

Juniors have a relatively trou-
ple-free year. Their position is
new enough to be interesting but
not so strange as to create prob-
lems. Their cases, which are less
frequent than those of the other
three classes, tend to be not aca~-
demic but social. For them, the
counselors recommend extra-cur-
ricular activities and opportuni-
ties for meeting people.

On the senior level, there is
again the problem of coping with
change. What is in the future?
is the general question, and the
counselor must help the student
weigh the rewards of alter-
natives.

Mrs. Rachel Cox, Director of
West House feets that the Stu-
dent Counselling Service is effi-

not purport to solve serious prob-

lems, but only to make difficult-

problems too involved for the Stu-
dent Counselling Service to deal
with. For these girls, Bryn Mawr
offers a psychiatric service lo-
cated in the infirmary.

Three consulting psychiatrists
come to the campus for six hours
a week. Students see the psy-
chiatrists for forty-five minute
sessions, anywhere from one to
fifteen times. The doctors try to
hold only five or six interviews,
because of the time press. (About
ten percent of the campus has
at one time sought out psychia-
tric aid, and the figure is steadily
Climbing.) If, however, a girl
clearly requires more intensive
therapy, the consulting psychia-
trist recommends an outside doc-
tor.

Outside care presents fresh dif-

‘ficulties. The student is respon-

sible for financing the extra ther-
apy herself; parents are the log-
ical source of funds but are not
always sympathetic towards psy-
chiatry for their child. Here the
school’s responsibility stops; as
in other things, Bryn Mawr can
help a girl only so far.

Since the beginning of October
Undergrad has been working on a
revision of finances and reconsid-
ering the stingy way we have been
spending money. There have been
two open meetings with NEWS
coverage; and reports ofhall reps,
minutes, and budgets in the dorms;
not to ‘mention a campus poll
reaching 2/3 of the campug. In
this article I am answering those
who complain that they do not
know where their fhoney is going
and how additional money would
be used; but I feel in a rather
frustrated fashion that if by now
-you don’t know it’s kind of. your
own fault.

First of all, the dues raise is
not meant to be the least amount
that will cover present expenses.
It is true that with rising costs
and with each organization using
all of its funds (and sometimes
more), we need a $2.00 raise
anyway. However, we are sug-
gesting that we almost double the
dues. At the moment each stu-
dent pays $14.00 per year. $25.00
would solve many of our prob-
lems, and in the hall polls 85%
of the campus supported this
change.

There are many reasons justify-
ing a raise. First the concrete
pleas of the Big Six, some of
whom resort to selling cookies
(5¢ apiece - what a rook) to try
to make ends meet, They need
more money to continue with their
present projects, and, above all,

‘to expand. Arts Council wants the

money for speakers, more Hallo-
ween-type parties, more Art

Shows, a small (but good) concert
(folk singer? jazz?) and money for
groups that come begging (the
New Chamber Music Orchestra).
Curriculum Committee needs
extra money even this year to
pay for the duty work of self-
scheduled exams, and they want to
plan a seminar but have no money
for publicity. League spends over
$300.00 every year for the col-
lege station wagon for tutoring in
Philadelphia, and often the station
wagon is unavailable. They need
a car. Dance Club and Sailing
Club beg AA’ for more funds’ so
that Dance Club won’t have to
charge admission and so individual
membership fees in Sailing Club
will be less than $50.00. Alliance,
too, wants money, to sponsor con-
ferences on campus (Black Arts?),
for BMC registration in other con-
ferences (note: not traveling ex-
penses, etc.), for good NAME
speakers, and - especially impor-
tant in an election year - publicity
and transportation costs to get
students involved in local politics.

Those are the Big Six’s demands
but there are others too. Little
clubs need money to start (de-
bate), existing clubs sometimes
need more money for a particular
project (Exchange Committee), and
sometimes they sponge off their
counterparts in neighboring
schools (eg. Haverford). Under-
grad needs money for new pro-
jects (eg. a one volume Fresh-
man Handbook, constitutions, Aca-
demic and Library regulations,
Student Director, and picture book
for all students).



And most of all - SOCIAL
CHAIRMAN: Sure, we want more
things going on on campus and
with other schools; but at the mo-
ment, there is money left for only
one big mixer. Not only that, but
we impose on Haverford’s funds to
an embarrassing extent. We
haven’t money for a formal dance,
or for entertainment after con-
certs (or for concerts), or for




limited activities such as picnics
at Batten, not to mention Valley
Forge, bridge, chess, tennis, and
stretch tournament-mixers.

Does this sound like a list of’
petty demands? I hope not; it’s
all part of a conspifacy to fight
apathy and generally support what
community spirit does exist on
the.zampus. How can we feel much
besides academic and dorm ties
if our whole extracurricular pro-

There is not quite enough of anything in
the Bryn Mawr-Haverford production of
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. Basically
this is.apparent in the lack of a discernible
interpretation of the material; there is no
overall tone of realism of irony. There is
some good slapstick, and the Induction is
included, suggesting that this might be a
completely farcical interpretation, but Bi-
anca and Hortensio are not exploited as
farcical characters any more than Kath-
erine and Petruchio are as realistic ones.
Each actor seems to be giving his own
personal version of his part, making the
play in all uneasily fuzzy.

A better title for this particular pro-
duction might be THE TAMER OF THE
SHREW. There is no taming of Kay Ford’s
Katherine: she remains stridently vexa-
tious to Petruchio until just before the
final banquet, when they inexplicably get
chummy. Meanwhile, Chris Kopff’s Pe-
truchio holds forth with. self-assured
Swagger. He and Miss Ford manage quite
a good first act dialogue, but subsequently
he is allowed to overpower her. The only
annoying thing about his performance is
that he never moves his eyes down from the
rafters, making him appear stone blind and
acting by rote,

The best performances of the evening are
those of Peter Scott as Grumio and Heywood
Sloane as Biondello. Unlike most of their
peers they seem to know the meaning of
their lines, and their iambic pentameter
cannot be counted with a metronome.
Alexis Swan is good as Gremio, except for
a cloying habit of tossing his head to get

the hair out of his eyes. Jessica Harris
stepped in as a believably obstinate widow,
and lent a welcome vocal clarity. The Hos-
tess and Sly in the Induction were totally
unintelligible, and the rest of the cast
tended to sacrifice clarity to emotion.
Bruce Lincoln, also in the Induction, made
up in facial mobility for speaking ina very
difficult falsetto. Catherine Hopkins was
either not obnoxious enough or not en-
dearing enough as Bianca, and James
Emmons as Lucentio simply did his best
with a lifeless character.

The set was effectively used, if almost
too stark, and skillful lighting helped it a
lot. Make-up was good on everyone except
Petruchio, who for some reason had on
more rouge than the rest of the cast com-
bined. The incidental music wasdelightful.
The costumes were bright and interesting,
though again neither satisfactorily primary
nor secondary in shade. Petruchio’s
stunning banquet outfit almost made up for
Hortensio’s music master disguise, which
was a surgeon’s cap and gown, and Vin-
centio’s hat, which was patterned on anice

bag. There was some really beautiful trim ,

used, but fraying of the costumes caused the
actors to move in clouds of colored thread.

The feeling in this play is thatthe actors
know how it comes out, and recite each line
with an eye to that. This makes fora half-
hearted sort of performance. They have
generally good timing, though, and have a
great deal of fun with the slapstick, which
fortunately communicates itself to the
audience.

Athletes’ Feats Stand Out Bryn Mawr Entertains Haverford
In Winning Hockey Season In Season Opener, Loses 18-4

‘What has two feet with cleats,
wears gold, is as swift as a wild
beast, and shows no fear?

What runs around Merion Green
late atnight, scaring even the prow-
lers?

The answer -- a Bryn Mawr
hockey team player, of course,
smiling from a triumphant season
which ended with a record of two
wins, one loss, and two ties for the
Varsity team, and an astounding
four wins, one loss, for the Junior
Varsity.

The season began with a bloody
victory of 5-0 over Chestnut Hill,

followed by a gallant defeat in a

game lost 1-0 to Swarthmore. With _

a new surge of enthusiasm, the
Varisty team rallied to tie Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania 1-1 and beat
Drexel 1-0.

In the final game of the season,
the Varsity tied 0-0 with Rosemont,
while the Junior Varsity swept to

~vietory with the fantastic score of
7-0; the highest of the season for
either team.

October 28, the Bryn Mawr
hockey team competed in the Inter-
collegiate Hockey Tournament

against sixteen other teams from
the eastern Pennsylvania area.

This regional tournament was
one of the steps in choosing mem-
bers for the U.S, women’s hockey
team, and, eventually, the world
team. Unscored against, the Bryn
Mawters successfully held their
own against Rosemont (0-0), Chest-
nut Hill (0-0), and Philadelphia Col-
lege of the Bible (1-0).

Two of our team members,
senior Amy Dickinson and junior
Anne Alden, were chosen to com-
pete in the sectional tournament,
held at a later time. Seniors Liz
Thatcher and Sally Boy also quali-
fied, but could not compete in the
sec is because of prior com-
mitments for that weekend.

To close the year’s hockey sea-
son, the Varsity players met the
Junior Varsity ih a blood-chilling
game last Tuesday afternoon. The
final score was 1-0, with a vic-
torious Varsity team.

After the game, elections were
held for next year’s officers, Barb
Petty, ‘sophomore, ' and Anne Alden,
junior, were elected manager and
captain, respectively.

‘It seems reasonable,’’ Bach-
rach stated, ‘‘that an intelligent
man who has worked with the col-
lege for 35 years as a janitor
could be trained as a house man-
ager.’’ Other skills offered could
be those necessary for becoming
a secretary, receptionist, carpen-

ter, plumber and all other main-
tenance jobs,

‘Such a program could solve de
facto segregation in various job
areas and it would also enable the
people to advance from their in-
itial position, thus giving them
a sense of hope, security and possi-
bilities of better wage scales,’’

The newly-formed Bryn Mawr

Graduate Student Adopts
Peruvian, Korean Children

It isn’t every graduate school
that can: boast an ‘adopt’-tation of
“A Family Affair.”

Bryn Mawr doctoral candidate,
Truman Clark, and his wife, Sally,
are the parents of two adopted
‘children, a Peruvian boy and a
Korean girl, and were featured in
the October 22 Sunday ‘‘Bulletin’’
in an article written by Mrs. Clark.

Clark, now working toward his
Ph.D in history and teaching at
Northeastern Christian College in
Villanova, and his wife had origi-
nally planned to build their family
by “‘ ‘having two and adopting two,’
presumably in that order.’’ But
these plans were altered by a
first year of marriage in Peru.

‘We kept telling each other that
‘someday’ we’d like to adopt one
of those beautiful, but neglected,
Peruvian children.

Returning to the States with their
new son, Terry, the Clarks
approached a local adoption agency
and were regarded as ‘‘freaks’’
“when they announced that they had
‘‘been married only a year, had
one little Peruvian baby and wanted

to adopt others of minority race
simply because they were in
greater need of adoption.’’

Such a delay resulted that the
couple decided that they would
prefer to work through the
nationally acclaimed Holt Adoption
Program in Creswell, Oregon,
which has placed several thousand
orphans.

Interviewed by a social worker
in Philadelphia, the Clarks met the

In her article, Mrs. Clark

Aware that the adoption of foreign
children may bring on problems,
Mrs. Clark commented, ‘‘We are
not so naive as to think that they
will breeze through life without
being the objects of prejudice, hate
and cruel curiosity at some time.
The only thing we can do is love
our children and care for them and
make them feel secure when these
problems occur.”

The game started with a ‘quick

Malcolm: Burns to Tom Curry.

Despite a penalty imposed on
the Fords for offsides, it was not

put Haverford in a good field
position for another touchdown,
this time by Curt Jones,

It was then that the Fords made
their fatal error, When they
were about 15 yards from their
goal, their center deliberately ov-
erhiked the ball, ‘‘in order to
give us some running room.’’ He
had overestimated, however, Now
no more than a yard from Bryn
Mawr’s goal line, the Fords were
soon pushed behind it, thanks to
linemen Jean Farny, Debbie Br-
own, Liz Thacher, Lynn Ahwesh
and Lola Atwood, This move
gave the Owls two points in a
touchback,

As the game progressed, it be-
came apparent that Coach Cole-
man had welded together in less
than a week a formidable defen-
sive unit, The Fords scored no
more; the only points gained were
by the Owls on another touch-
back, Underweighing their op-'
ponents by some incalculable am-
ount, the Bryn Mawr seniors did
a truly admirable job.

Next week the conference hopes
to remedy this discrepancy in
weights between the teams by spon-
soring a co-ed football team, See

No down for the Bryn Mawr Callens Bow! Team as it holds its line against Notre
Dame. The score was 225 - 185 in Bryn Mawr’s second consecutive victory. Team

BMC Feminine Foursome
Blocks “Fighting” Irish

The following is part of an
article which appeared in the
‘Bulletin’ Friday,
November 3, before Bryn Mawr’s

victory. over Notre Dame on

College. Bowl.

Ara. Parseghian’s troubles have
just begun. First he ran into Le-
roy Keyes at Purdue. Then it was
Orange Juice Simpson and South-
ern Cal. And now it’s Diane and
Ruth and Ashley and Robin. Poor
Notre Dame.

And it’s on the tube, for the
world to see. The GE College
Bowl, with $3000 in the pot. Pow-
erhouse Bryn Mawr, unbeaten,
untied, barely scored upon, with
massive I,Q,’s from end to end,
Even Rockne would blanch.

Deep, versatile, swift on the
buzzer, that’s Bryn Mawr, There’s
Diane, nifty on reverses in Euro-
pean history. There’s Ruth, a
triple-threat in Latin, Greek, and
archeology. There’s Ashley,
crushing on off-tackle plays into
politics and poetry. There’s Rob-
in, elusive on runbacks through
Verdi, Van Gough and Virgil. What
can Notre Dame do but punt on
first down and pray?

A telephone call found South
Bend Eddie, a bookie who will
take any bet, so long as it is
against Notre Dame.

**How many points are you of-

fering on Bryn Maw? against Notre”

Dame?”’

“You mean chicks? Against the
Irish? Listen, we'll play ’em in
hopscotch. Who did Bryn Mawr

on the hook, ‘‘that we are in
trouble.’’

Exactly the feelings of Dr. Rob-
ert Patten, who is the Ara Par-
seghian of the Mainline (distaff

~division). A young English prof-

fessor, Dr. Patten has whipped
his Bryn Mawr club together since
September. He started with 149
candidates, then drove his Four
Fillies through 2,000 practice
questions. Before waxing Cal on
TV, his assassins ripped Haver-
ford three times in scrimmages.

‘*And these aren’t pros but pure
amateurs,’’ said Dr. Pattendarkly.
“Some schools -- I will not men-
tion names -- keep their players
in special dorms with daily train-
ing sessions, no outside class-
work. And they have specialists
on science, music, et cetera. Ours
play every position.

‘‘Notre Dame had a spy invade
our campus,’’ said Dr. Patten.
“A boy infiltrated the dorms here,
took notes on our training methods,
scouted our personnel. I’m ser-
ious. We considered retaliating
by sending a girl with a bad
cold to Notre Dame, but I am
against germ warfare. We respect
Notre Dame, but remember --
we’re Number One.”’

Ta! Ia! Ia!

audience.

Undergrad Dues

(Continued from page 5)
gram is thwarting participation
by being based on a principle of
minimum expense for the mini-
mum of activities?

There was an opinion ex-
pressed that ‘‘if I don’t partici-
pate in an activity, I don’t want
to pay for it.’? Personally, I find
this rather egocentric. Undergrad
only supports those organizations
and clubs which are open to the
whole campus. Most of these can-
not be supported by membership
dues alone, and they resort to
selling. food or VISA cards or
charging admissions; efforts are
directed towards making money
thereby detracting from the time
spent on the production. It is quite
true that no one participates in all
the clubs and that some people
participate in none, but the ma-
jority of us participate in some-
thing, and I like to think we can
even benefit from: the existence
of some activities in which we
do not participate. Besides, we all
get Freshman Handbooks as well
as the NEWS, have the convenience
of Pay Day and hall announcing
(now posting), and appreciate self-
scheduled exams. Undergrad funds
all these.

Only the mechanics of the dues
raise remain to be straightened
out. There are three problems:

1) Overwhelmingly (90%), the

campus wanted to be billed over
the summer. This would be sep-
arate from tuition, and an item-
ized list of where the money would
be spent would be included. Among
other things this would enable us
to have the Undergrad funds «at
the beginning of each year (the
time of heaviest expenses) and
avoid perennial Pay Day crises
(eg. Alliance has only $38.00 un-
til next Pay Day).

2) Also, what about scholarship
students? . Compared to other
schools, a $25.00 activities fee
is small, but compared to this
year’s fee, it is almost doubled.
For the administration this means
finding $11.00 more per scholar-
ship student, and 1/3 of us are
on scholarship.

3) What should Undergrad pay
for and-what is the responsibility
of the administration? We pay
$1300.00 to Pay Day mistresses
and hall announcers, but the ad-
ministration paysfire captains. We
pay only part of the Orchestra-
Chorus-Chamber Music costs; the
administration pays the rest and
yet they are under Arts Council.
(When the ‘‘administration’’ pays,
the money comes from~tuition as
well as other funds.)
