Finally, yearbook editors are
Tane Walton and Mary Dauben-
speck.

President elect Willis was social
chairman of the college this year
and vice president of her sopho-
more class last year. Her plans
include setting up a rotation sys-
tem for Undergrad attendance so
that class officers in addition to
the President will go to meetings.
This system, she feels, would
make Undergrad *‘less of a secret
society.”*

She also intends to line up her
graduation speakers this summer
and in general establish the
‘commencement program early.

The yearbook editors for the
class of ’66 hope to emphasize
**individuality -- the whole point
of Bryn Mawr’ in the annual,
Their primary intention is to use
professionally done candid por-
traits rather than formal portraits,
not only to stress individuality, but,
also to incorporate more variety
into the yearbook as a whole.

Sophomores Plan Seniors, Prof Win Fulbrights

To Study Abroad
In Europe, Japan

Bryn Mawr students are going
abroad to study. Several sopho-
‘mores have plans to enroll in
universities in France, Germany,
England, Switzerland, and Japan.
Most of the girls are going in
regular Junior Year Abroad pro-
grams, but several are taking
a year off to study independently.

Germany seems to have the
most irresistable call to the rov-
ing student. Under the auspices of

. the Wayne State program, Nancy

Borley and Cynthia Walk are go-
ing to Munich and Penny Milbouer
to Freiburg where she will live
in an international dormitory and
take Gerinan courses at the Uni-
versity and special language
courses with American profes-

, SOTS.

Also going to Germany is a
native-born German, Sibyl Klee-
man, who is bound for the archae-
ology department of the University
of Mainz,

France is also attracting “her
share of foreign students, In a
program operated by the wife of
the director of ‘*Maxim’s’’ in:
Paris, Kathy Grossman and Elana
Klausner will be taking classes
at the Sorbonne and attending
seminafs with such eminent
Frenchmen as Sartre and
Mauriac’s son,

At the University of Strassbourg

will be ‘Patience Meigs, who will ~

be staying with a French family,
and studying art and music.

Schools in the University of
London are welcoming Andrea
Saltzman, Anna Hartmann, and
Margaret Eggers. Andrea, a
sociology major,: plans to take
courses at the London School of
Economics, where the variety is
‘fan opportunity to get per-
speetive.’’ :

Headed elsewhere, Lynette Pal-
mer is ‘still waiting word from the
International University Center in
Tokyo on a year of study in Japan,
and Barbara Termin is on her
way as a history major to Geneva

For Studies in

Fulbright grants for graduate
study and research abroad have
already been awarded to six Bryn
Mawr seniors and to Eugene V,
Schneider, Associate Professor of
Sociology. The list of Fulbright
awards is far from complete and
may not be entirely known until
the summer,

Harriet Swern plans to teach in
college or go into the foreign
service, and will study next year
at the Institute of Political Studies
in Bordeaux, taking courses in
Russian and diplomatic history.

Barbara Thatcher, a History
of Art major, will study
Romanesque Italian art in-
dependently under an advisor af-
filiated with the University of

Rome. She probably will not go on *

in History of Art, but is inter-
ested imarily in teaching
element school,

Both S Harris and Rolly
Phillips a so winners of Wil-
son fellowships, and both will:go
into college teaching in their fields.
Rolly will-study~ classical history
and literature at Cambridge next
year, and then go on to the Uni-
versity of Washington, Sally will
be working on an as yet undefined
project in Bronze Age Archae-
ology, particularly that of Anatolia,
under Professor Tahsin Ozguc of
the University of Ankara.

Dr. Schneider holds a grant for
research at Eindhoven in the
researching at the
Philips industrial plant there, and
will probably also teach one lec-
ture course. Other Fulbright
grants will probably be announced
throughout the spring.

So far, however, two Bryn Mawr
seniors will study in Latin America
next year, Eugenie Ladner, now
president of the Latin American

Club and of the Senior’ Class, Will’

study at the University of Cuencain
Ecuador, doing particular re-
search into the problems and
political role of the municipal
councils in colonial Ecuador, Ar-
lene Joy will work on a study of

H’ford News Erroneously Notes

| Merger of Economics Faculties

by Darlene Preissler

Contrary to the statement made
in an article of the March 19 issue
of the HAVERFORD NEWS, the
Bryn Mawr and Haverford econom-
ics department have not
‘tmerged.’? Another erroneous
sentence contained in the article
was that Professor Holland Hunter
will ‘“‘chair the new department.”’

Although both of the above cita-
tions from the article are false
assumptions, it is true that the
economics departments of Bryn
Mawr and Haverford have recently
decided to ‘‘federate.’’ Hardly a
move toward uniting both depart,
ments under one head, however,
each college will retain its own
economics chairman: Professor
Morton Baratz of Bryn Mawr and
professor Hunter of Haverford.
The chief purpose of the federation,
in the words of Professor Hunter,
is to ‘‘make joint use of faculty
strengths on each side while pre-
serving the flexibility and indepen-
dence that we all value.’’ .

Several significant changes will
result from. the federation, how-
ever. In addition to the professors
currently teaching economics at
Haverford and Bryn Mawr, an
assistant professor, George I.
Treyz, has been jointly appointed

by the two departments, The first «
such joint appointee, he may beone _

ae

‘Mawr and Haverford.

of several in the future.

Another change will be the elimi-
nation of all duplicate courses
above the introductory level, that
is, courses in economics on the
same topic now offered at both Bryn
Different
courses, probably four at each col-
lege, will be taught. Thus; most
classes will have mixed enroll-

- ments and there will most likely be

a larger number of students in each
class, Only the introductory
courses will be separate; and in
spite of certain variances in text-
books, these courses will be very
similar at both colleges.

Two other changes not directly
connected with the departments’
decision . to federate will also
occur. Discontinuing the comp con-
ference ineconomics at Bryn Mawr
will be one. In place of this course
previously required for all econ-
omics majors, those majoring in
that subject will instead be offered
an intermediate economic theory
course.

At Haverford, Philip W. Bell,
formerly a full-time professdr of
economics, will assume the title
of Adjunct Professor and instruct
in only one course per semester. A
lecturer, Mrs, Chiou-Shuang Yan,
will teach the remainder of the time
which Professor Bell would pre-
viously have taught, Another

Haverford professor not yet men-~<~

tioned will be Professor Howard. .

Faculty Members
Vote to Eliminate
‘Calendar Days’

At their last meeting prior to
spring vacation, members of the
faculty voted to eliminate ‘‘calen-
dar days,” which include those
times students must register in
their classes (i.e. the last day
before and the first day after
vacations),

The ruling will go into effect
next fall, since there are no more
vacations this year.

The voting was not unanimous,
and the question still remains as to
whether the decision will cause
mass exoduses or not,

Two Professors
Win Guggenheims

Two members of the faculty,
Hugues Leblanc, professor in
philosophy, and Mrs, Willard King,
chairman of the Spanish depart-
ment, are recipients of Guggen-
‘heim fellowships.

Mr. Leblanc will spend this sum-
mer and the first part of his year
proofreading his book on logic,
TECHNIQUES OF DEDUCTIVE
INFERENCE,

Then he will travel to southern
France,-and wind up in Italy and
Spain for the summer of 1966. His
main project will be to complete
his book, A STUDY OF GENTZEN’S
CALCULI OF -SEQUENCE, - for
which the grant was awarded.

Mrs. King will use her Guggen-
heim grant to study the works of a
17th century Spanish playwright,
Juan Ruiz de Alarc6n, and will be
absent from the college from
February, 1966. to the end of Jan-
uary, 1967.

Alarcén is an enigmatic literary
figure who has never been exten-
sively studied. Born in Mexico, he
moved to Spain at the age of 20.
His 24 plays, written in Spain,
contain no mention of his life in
Mexico or of the New World.

Critics offer conflicting inter-
pretations of this feature of his
works. Some attribute the special
qualities of his plays to his Mexi-
can background, although Alarcon
himself never directly refers to it.
The opposing school claims that no
single aspect of his art can be
explained by his Mexican experi-
ence.

In her study, Mrs. King hopes
to discover more of Alarcén and of
the structure of his works.

Calendar, Exams
Prime Proposals
For Curriculum

At the March 22 joint meeting of
the faculty and undergraduate Cur -
riculum Committees, discussion
centered on two topics: the cal-
endar of the academic year andthe
possibility of self-scheduled ex-
aminations.

The major proposal was to
lengthen the first semester by add-
ing days in September and omitting
the entire Thanksgiving vacation as
well as two days of the Christmas
vacation. Should this plan be put
into effect, any of three changes
could result: (1) No classes after
Christmas, one week for reading,
one and one-half weeks for exams,
and a three-day holiday; (2)-Three
days of classes after Christmas,
one-half week,for reading, one
week for exams, and a one-week
holiday; or’ (3) One week for
reading, one week for exams, and
also one week for a holiday. In each
case, midsemester quizzes would
be ‘before Thanksgiving and papers
due at the.end of the Christmas
vacation.

Discussion of the second topic,
that of self-scheduled exams under
a system similar to the one of
Haverford, emphasized as one
point in favor of the arrangement ,
that it would allow a great decrease
in both tension and exhaustion.
Also, such a system would give all
students an equal opportunity to
study for their exams, Inregardto
the educational values of such self-
discipline, comments were both

—! favorable and unfavorable.
