Hosmer Describes Conference
To Draft Constitution of World
by Hilary Hosmer, '67
In 1945, 48 far-sighted men
and women met in Dublin, New
Hampshire to appraise the newly
ratified United Nations Charter,
They determined that the Charter
was ‘*inadequate and behind the
times®? and called for a stronger
world organization.
Now that the general public has
finally recognized the weaknesses
of the United Nations, Grenville
Clark called a Second Dublin Con-
ference to consider what action
can best be taken to advance the
cause of genuine peace. Last week-
end 16 of the survivors of the-
945 conference, and38 others met
in Alexander James’s rough-hewn
studio for four days of debate.
When I arrived on Saturday
morning, Mr. Clark, a jut-jawed,
bright-eyed 83-year-old-tita hy
had already turned the meeting
over to Kingman Brewster, preg-
ident of Yale University. Perched
on folding metal chairs were men
such as Norman Cousins, editor of
the SATURDAY REVIEW and
champion of idealists; Edgar Snow,
author of RED STAR OVERCHINA
and several other books on modern
China; and Hudson Hoagland, whose
Worcester Foundation for Experi-
mental Biology has been instru-
mental in developing gral contra-
ceptives. I gasped
Vitally important were Louis

Law at Harvard University, co-
Flexner Lectures:
Well-Known Critic
Comes to B.M.C.
Frank Kermode, who-has
been described as ‘‘the most bril-
liant critic writing in England at
the present time,’’. will speak on
THE LONG PERSPECTIVES; THE
THEORY OF FICTION, in aseries
of Monday night Flexner Lectures
sponsored by the English Depart-
ment, beginning October 18,
He will be the first Flexner
Lecturer in English since 1935,
The Flexner Lectureship is the
college’s most distinguished
recognition of outside scholars,
Some of the most original think-
ers of the past generation, from
Whitehead to Arnold Toynbee, have
held this lectureship.
- Mr. Kermode has won recogni-
tion for penetrating analyses of
writers ranging from the Renais-
sance to the 20th century. He
has written on Shakespeare and
Donne as well as on Yeats and
Joyce.
The Times ‘Literary Supple-
ment’? says of THE ROMANTIC
IMAGE, one of Kermode’s best-
known books, ‘‘This is an ex-
tremely important book of specu-
lative and scholarly criticism, set-
ting out to re-define the notion
of the Romantic tradition, espec-
jally in| its relation to English
poetry and criticism. His chap-
ters on Yeats are among the best
pages that have ever been de-
voted to that great poet.’’
Mr. Kermode was educated at
the University of Liverpool, and
has taught at the Universities of
Durham, Reading and Manches-
ter, and has recently been ap-
pointed Professor of English at
Bristol. He is one of the prin-
cipal reviewers for ‘‘The New
Statesman’’ and ‘‘Nation.”’
He will live at the Deanery

WORLD PEACE THROUGH
WORLD LAW, and Stanley A.
Weigel, Judge of the U.S, District
Court, San Franciso, California,
Mr. Clark invited two college
students, his granddaughter Jo-
sephine Spencer of Sarah Law-=
rence, and myself, his grandchil-
dren’s babysitter.
For four days we listened to 54
of the world’s most articulate men
and women discuss the essential
elements of a successful world
’ government, Sometimes they bog-
ged down in details, or ran off on
fascinating irrelevancies, but in 60
hours they managed to lay the
foundations on which a world con-
stitution may be drafted.
The signers of the Declaration
of the Second Dublin Conference
called for: (1) Universal and com-
plete disarmament; (2)an adequate
world police force; (3) universal
membership in the world organ-
ization; (4) a world legislative
body given adequate power to
provide for the maintenance and
enforcement of world law relevant
to the prevention of international
law; (5) anexecutive branch, chosen
by and responsible to the legislative
body,.and free from the veto power
of any nation; (6) a judicial branch,
consisting of a court system with
the jurisdiction and powers re-
quired for the settlement of all
disputes among nations and for the
enforcement of world law against
nations and individuals which
threaten the peace of the world;
(7) reliable world revenue, (8)
safeguards against the abuse of
power by the world authority; (9)
an affiliated World Development
Authority that should be adequately
financed and staffed to mitigate
the growing economic disparities
between the ‘‘have’? and the *‘have-
not?’ nations that are causing world
instability and conflict; (10) provi-
sions for the adoption of the charter
of the world federation,
As Pope Paulhas just remarked,
peace is mankind’s most vital con-
cern, Genuine peace requires en-
forceable law, order, and justice.
Without these arms races and wars
are inevitable. In a nuclear age,
whole civilizations may be anni-
hilated. World law may be the
only way to save ourselves,
I was very. much impressed by
the eloquence, insight and deep
concern for the preservation and
and the advancement of human
life manifested in the tiny town of
Dublin this past weekend.

Rhoads, Erdman Establish Rule
To Permit Smoking in Rooms
Empty smokers in Rhoads and
Erdman bear witness to the re-
cent change in smoking rules af-
fecting these two dorms, Light-
ing up in rooms became legal in
Rhoads Tuesday night, Septemi-
ber 28,
Erdman voted Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning of last week,
and with the ballots cast 2-1 in
favor of smoking in the rooms,
the rule went into effect Wednes-
day night.
Residents of these two halls
voted by written ballot for the
provisional change-in the Self-Gov
nn Beinn now allows smoking
in students’ rooms in Rhoads and
Erdman. Vote was by simple ma-
jority, abstentions being counted
with the plurality.
In Rhoads 95 students voted for
the change, 27 voted against, and
there were five abstentions.
The question of changing the
smoking rule for Rhoads first
came up three years ago when
a petition was circulated to bring
the issue before Self-Gov, This
petition never acquired enough
signatures to be brought up for
consideration,
The following year the rule
change actually came toacampus-

College Inn Space
Now Headquarters
For Organizations
The College Inn will soon be
open not only as a student union
but also as a headquarters for
the major Bryn Mawr student as-
sociations.
The second floor of the Inn was
converted during the.summer into
a series of permanent rooms for
the organizations replacing the
ones currently used in Goodhart.
Self-Gov and Undergrad each have
meeting rooms, and The College
News has a workroom and an
office.
A room which students may
reserve for private parties is also
on the second floor. It is equipped
with a small kitchen which would
be stocked and cleaned out again
by anyone using it. When the three
students now living in the re-
maining rooms of the Inn are
moved out into the dorms, that
section of the second floor will
be made into an informal lounge
or meeting place similar to the
Common Room,
Rooms in Goodhart other than
the Common Room which have
been occupied by the student or-
ganizations will be taken over
bythe Music Department as lis-
tening and practice rooms, and
as additional storage space for

wide vote, but while the majority
of students voted for: the change,
the residents of Rhoads voted
against it, and it was shelved once
again,
The issue arose again last
, Spring, when another petition was
circulated to bring the smoking
question before Self-Gov. ‘ine
result of this petition was a cam-
pus-wide poll, with special ballots
for residents of Rhoads and fu-
ture residents of Erdman, where
the low fire hazard would also
make such a rule change feasible.
The poll revealed that the ma-
jority of students, including Rhoads
and Erdman residents, favored
a change.
When--the—_Board—of—Trustees-
met in late spring, members voted
_ in favor of a provisional change
in the smoking rules in Rhoads
and Erdman, allowing students of
these two halls to smoke in their
rooms. Because the rule change
is provisional, all residents in |
each of the dorms,affgcted were
required to vote for or against
the change by written ballot. As
long as the change remains pro-
visional, it will have to be re-
voted in each hall every fall.
No rigid rules governing the
new smoking regulations have
been set up, although it is’ likely
that certain restrictions will be
imposed by the fire department,
The freedom to smoke-applies only
to students’ rooms; smoking will
still not be allowed in corridors,
dining room, etc.

Smoke Gets in the Ayes
With the advent of Erdman and Rhoads’ new smoking freedom, Bryn
Mawr students witness yet another manifestation of a trend which
began its steady sweep of the rules nearly two years ago. The trend,
marked most dramatically by the dress rule change, the men-in-rooms
rule,-the driving rule and now the smoking decision, is important, of
course, because it indicates a progressive spirit and healthy will to
admit new customs in an otherwise classically traditional institution.
The primary importance of those events, however, lies not so much
in their existence, but in the direction they have taken -- toward true
student freedom and ‘self-rule. It is significant that the Board of
Trustees, with whom the final decision of rules rests, carefully
bounced the ball back to the students in the smoking decision, Rather
than effecting a rule permitting the ‘students in the more modern
dorms to smoke, the Board insisted that those students themselves
vote on the proposal.
For this attitude we may be grateful. Bryn Mawr is certainly not
the only college with a ‘‘self-government’’ organization. It is, how-
ever, one of the few in which the organization is able to live up to its
name instead of remaining a cynical joke in the minds of its members,
-
Freshman Quandary
The first week of classes saw Bryn Mawrters divided into two dubious
groups -- freshmen anxiously asking what they should get out of the
college experience and what and how they should give to it, and upper-
classmen, those who had supposedly ‘‘conned the system,’’ uneasily
realizing that it is the nature of this system incessantly to pose these
questions and relentlessly to press each single personfor her individual
answers.
Probably everyone coming to Bryn Mawr, with even the vaguest
notion of what she was about, had some thought of receiving an ‘‘edu-
cation.’’ But surely they were few who grasped the fact that, toa
large extent, each girl for herself would make or fail to make that
education.
From the most gregarious of us, to live a student’s life with some
measure of integrity demands a degree of introspection. Selecting a
major, determining whether the rest of one’s study will be diffuse
or limited, choosing a paper topic, even deciding whether an idea is
worth contributing to a class discussion -- all demand reflection, a
recognition of their relation to the general problem of one’s educa-
tion, a fairly clear idea of what one means by ‘‘education.’’
Education is perhaps a process whereby one comes to.perceive
vital relationships among apparently disparate aspects of nature and
of human thought, whereby one-comes to see ever more ‘bits’? of
information in ever wider contexts.
And all this is to neglect entirely the still more fundamental and
more personal question; What is all this education for? Most of us
have some project we are irrationally sure we must accomplish if
we are to live with ourselves at all, some project of which we can
only hope we shall not have to say, ‘‘I have seen such things as make
everything I have done worthless,’’
The Old Gray Mare
Two distinct changes in the ldcal scene assailed returning Bryn
Mawrters, Both had been hinted at last spring, but both finished
products proved more impressive than exam-benumbed students had
anticipated.
The first, of course, is the vision of Erdman rising completed from
its familiar burrow of mud and workmen, (It is still undetermined
whether the appearance of the building or the disappearance of the
mud makes the more striking spectacle.) Enough said about this addi-
tion.
Of greater immediate effect on almost all students is the Cinderella-
style transformation of dormitories somehow accomplished in one
short summer. Everyone was delighted by the new furnishings and
fresh paint and well-deserved showers. Everyone who gave the matter
any thought must gratefully acknowledge the enormous effort ex-
pended to raise our standard of living.
Smokers are designed to meet our study and relaxation needs,
Redecoration was not intended to make us uncomfortable in our own
retreats -- but perhaps part of the old comfort we remember\was
-Closer to an unguarded carelessness.
Such a windfall of uplifting redecoration will not return in the near
_ future, If we can . live..up to the new tone-of our dorms -- with an
comfort replacing an abandoned collapse -- incoming ~

Committee Proposes Diversity |
In College Exchange Program
by Tatty Gresham
There are as many different
ways of tackling the problem of
education as there are educational
institutions, Any freshman who
has been at Bryn Mawr for two
weeks is already well aware that
our institution has its own dis-
tinct ways.
How might a Negro college in
the South, a school controlled by
a Baptist "Convention, the prover-
bial small mid-Western coedu-
cational college, or a monolithic
state institution approach this
common problem? How do the
students react to what the col-
lege gives them?
To make students more aware
of these varieties in educational
experience, exchanges are held
with several other colleges
throughout the school year. Groups
are selected from interested Bryn
Mawr and Haverford students to
spend a week on another cam-
pus, and vice versa,
| LETTERS |
- (THE COLLEGE NEWS wel-
comes letters to the editor on
any and all subjects. We re-
gret that anonymous letters
cannot be published, but names
will be withheld upon request.
-- ed.)
To the Editor:
Anything short of slander and ob-
scenity will be printed in the Col-
lege News Letters to the Editor
column,
And it should be -- for as every
student of political science knows,
an ACTIVE free press is vital to
a healthy democracy. Similarly,
an active use of this column to
express the interests of different
parties is vital to a healthy col-
lege.
Through it you can express your
opinions to all students, to many
.of-whom you would never be able to
talk personally. Even if you-could,
many have been trained to respond
only to the printed word, a common
malady at college. Thus the
“Letters’? become indispensible
means of communication.
In true Ciceronian manner I
pass over the salient effects that
ordering thoughts for anothers’
reading may have on fuzzy think-
ing.
Last year, this column becamea
forum for opinion pro and con
US policy in Vietndm, to which
professors as wellas students con-
tributed, Hopefully alumnae and
parents will also contribute this
year. (NB, all alumnae” and
parents.)
As you might have guessed this
is a propaganda’ letter for the
NEWS, urging one and all to sound
off seriously and otherwise through
this part of the paper. So please
do.
This letter would have had some
goodies about the draft in/and
Vietnam, except that there is no
space left in which to print them.
Tune in next week for another
thrilling installment of “‘letter to
the, Editor,”? to which, incident-
ally, I hope one.and all, not only
-one. or. none, . will contribute. --_
oe Marion Scoon, ‘68
In past years the exchange pro-
gram has been monopolized by
visits to Negro schools. These
visits have concentrated as much
upon social conditions as upon
the educational institution itself.
Students whose knowledge of the
Southern Negro extended no far-
ther than what they read in news-
papers were able to understand
if not completely, at least di-
rectly, what it means to be ,a
Negro student in the South. reas
Schools visited ‘include Liv-
ingston College in North Caro-
lina, Tougaloo College in Missis-
sippi, and the tri-college system
of Morehouse, Spellman, andClark
in Atlanta. An exchange was also
held with Sarah Lawrence two
years ago.
This year the exchange com-
mittee hopes to schedule visits
with more diverse schools. There
will, of course, be exchanges with
Negro schools in the South, but
the program should not be limited
strictly to these schools.
St. John’s College in Annapolis,
with its radically different
curriculum might be tried. Per-
haps a visit to a Southern white
college would prove as enlighten-
ing as a visit to a Negro col-
lege. Those who never quite knew
whether or not Radcliffe was really
the-place for them might benefit
from a week in Cambridge.
Which schools are visited de-
pends entirely upon the interest
of the students. Likewise, the suc-_
cess of the program depends upon
» just how strong a desire students
have to leave Bryn Mavr for a
week and see what education can
be elsewhere.
A visit to another college can
be a very vital experience. One
learns as much about her own
school as about the school visited.
The student develops apprecia-
tion for the good, and can criticize
what is not so good in a more
enlightened way. The end result
of an exchange can be a far bet-
ter knowledge of what education
is ak} about,
Anyone interested in organizing
or participating in inter-college
exchanges should contact com-
mittee chairmen Kitty Taylor in
Denbigh or Tatty Gresham in
Wyndham.

It all started at the reception

Bryn Mawr was ‘‘just a little

how one of his daughters went to

Avignon Summer School
‘Memorable’
by Liz Freedman
Avignon, France -- site of the
famous bridge on which people
dance, enclave of the Popes dur-
ing the ‘*Babylonian Captivity’’
during the fourteenth century, and
now home Of the Institut d’Etudes
Francaises, sponsored by Bryn
Mawr College. History books may
not include this last item, but in
the minds of those who participated
in the Institut, it is just as memor-
able,
For the past four summers,
BMC’s French department has held
a six-week program of studies in
Avignon, under the direction of Dr.
Michel Guggenheim. This year saw
the largest number and variety of
students in the Institut -- about
sixty undergraduates and grad-
uates, French majors and non-
French majors, not only from the
United Stateg® but also from Ger-
many, Switzerland, Italy, Den-
mark and Scotland. Bryn Mawr-
ters in Avignon included Emily
Agnew, Renee Allard, Linda Deve-
reux, Frederica Emrich, Elizabeth
Freedman Patricia Ohl, and
Elizabeth Roper.
As the Institut is not limited
to French majors, its courses
range from French language and
literature on several levels, to
French art, history and politics.
Each student took two courses,
which met every morning, five
mornings a week, Afternoons were
very often spent studying, as the
professors of these courses de-
manded a good deal in return for
their challenging classes.
Perhaps the most educational
part of the six weeks took place
outside the classroom, however,

families in and around Avignon,

they also had the opportunity to
participate in French family life.
This experience brought us as
close, if not closer, to the heart-
beat of France as did a lecture
on deGaulle or Moliére. For
example, in. most homes, it was
the rule, as it was at school, to
speak French all the time. In a
surprisingly short time, we picked
up a workable familiar vocabulary
and were able to understand more
fully just how and why a family
thought and reacted as it did,
what made it typically French, and
what made it typically family, no
matter what the nationality.

that the girls had to find their

For in THE KNACK, ohmy dears,

or voluntary assistance to under-
privileged school children will
have the opportunity to tutor
junior-high school students in Bryn

guidance counselor, will answer
volunteers’ questions when they
meet with tutors in: the Common
Room, October 19,
The eighth-grade teachers at
the school will visit Bryn Mawr

specific problems. Tutoring will
take place one hour each week at
the Reeve Memorial Church with

include picnics, museum trips and
visits to the college. Students will
be given an opportunity to volunteer

included restricted use of the sa-

make tea once a day if we bought
the tea and washed the dishes.)
Then there was the famous “two

forced (hot water is expensive.)

Interfaith Lecture
‘Quaker Origins’
Katherine E, McBride opened
the Interfaith series of lectures
Wednesday, Sept. 29, in the
Common Room with a speech on
**The Quaker Origins of Bryn Mawr
College.”’
Bryn Mawr’s president pointed
out that a religious basis to life
has been stressed ever since Dr.
Taylor of New Jersey, a board
member of Haverford College, left
his estate to be used for a college
for women, In his will he sug-
gested teaching based on the think-
ing of Friends such as Fox, Penn
and Barclay.
Some leading religious thinkers
have been associated with Bryn
Mawr College. When M, Carey
Thomas was president, Rufus
Jones came to head the Committee
on Religious Life.
The college administrators have
always felt that it is important
for students themselves to decide
whether to attend religious meet-
ings, said. Miss McBride.
The present Committee on Re-
ligious Life has these aims: 1)
to bring the .student in touch with
. her own church; 2) to bring to
the College some of the leading
religious thinkers of the day; 3)
to plan talks or conferences which
will arouse wide interest in the
College, and 4) to continue to seek
the best possible service
Gym Profile Tests Find
One-Fifth Frosh Exempt
More than one-fifth of the fresh-
man class may justify TIME mag-
azine’s allegation that Mawrters
are “muscularly athletic,”
The physical education depart-
ment deemed 49 members of the
class of ‘69 physically fit last week
and released them from all re-
quirements for the year, on the
basis of profile test scores,
All but two of the 49 have reg-
istered for at least one gym
course although they are not re-
quired to do so, according to
Department -Chairman Irene A,
Clayton, Miss Clayton attributes
this interest to the fact that the
girls are in good condition and
possess the skill to enjoy sports,
She commented, ‘We have
thought for a long time about
intiating a program whereby
students can benefit from
individual planning considering
their strengths and weaknesses,
This seemed to be a good year
to do something about it because
of the revisions in academic cur-
ricula, Comment from freshmen
has been favorable and we are
delighted by their enthusiasm.’’
Miss Clayton was clear that the
basis of this new physical educa-
tion curriculum is an emphasis of
the individual’s needs, rather than
a matter of getting rid of stu-
dents by exempting them.
Although the plan was meant to
apply just to the entering fresh-
man‘class, a few sophomores also
took the various skills-tests, Ap-
parently this was not intentional
on the part of the physical ed-
ucation department, and though a
few sophomores did pass the tests,
they will not receive the counseling
and advising as are the freshmen,
In the future no more of these tests
will be given to sophomores.
