Parents’ Day Program Offers

“~~







a:

Parents’ Day

The varied program of Bryn
Mawr’s annual Parents’ Day (plan-
ned by a committee of students and
faculty members) wil! give parents
of Mawrters an opportunity to meet
faculty and administration, see the
campus, and get a glimpse of both
the everyday life and the creative
efforts of students, Saturday, April
10, between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.

A morning coffee and afternoon
lectures will allow parents to meet
faculty members and also to see
them in-action. President McBride
will speak to an assembly at 11:30
in Goohart.

Throughout the day there will
be time’ for guided or informal
tours of the campus. (Parents and
students are, however, requested
to stay out of the classroom side
of Taylor between 9 and 12, since
language examinations will be in
progress,)

Campus guides will leave with

Erdman Open for Visitation;

New Dorm Enters Final Stages

As part of Parents’ Day activi-
ties, visiting parents may tour
the nearly completed Erdman Hall,
Bryn Mawr’s new dormitory.
Interior furnishing and landscap-
ing are among the only remain-
ing steps before Erdman opens
for occupancy this fall.

The dorm, designed by architect
Louis Kahn, is planned in a triple
diamond arrangement. It features
interior natural lighting effects.

At present an interior decorator
is preparing the public rooms.
Special furniture designed to fit the
bedrooms has already been
ordered.

Each bedroom of Erdman boasts
the Bryn Mawr necessity, a win-
dow seat.
located either directly facing the
windows or in a sideways position.

Desks are like those in Rhoads,
with one improvement. — Side
shelves pull out for another piece
of student apparatus, typewriters.
For more wall space, bookcases
will be higher and narrower than

.those in other halls.

All rooms will have white walls.
Closets are described as wide
and deep. The curtain issue is

still undecided - original plans

call for identical curtains in all
rooms to give a uniform exterior
view, but students are-protesting
their right to select curtains ac-
cording to individual tastes.

;

a

These fixtures are

A possible compromise is the
use of double sets, with inside
curtains chosen by students but
hidden from the outside by’
standard curtains,

Most rooms are singles, but
there are some end suites con-
Sisting of two bedrooms and a
living room. Adjoining singles may
also be converted to bedroom-~
sitting room arrangements if the
girls so desire.

The cost for Erdman singles is
the minimum rate of $1150. Suites
carry the maximum rate of $1350.
