Committee Revises Hell Week, — McDowell to Preside at Self-Gov; q

Welcomes Students’ Comments

After two consecutive Monday
evening meetings, freshman and
sophomore representatives from

each hall have considered
criticisms and suggestions on Hell
Week, and _ proposed - certain

revisions which will be presented
to Undergrad. The group agrees
that the Hell Week tradition is
essentially worthwhile, but that its
purpose needs more careful
definition and its structure, closer
coordination,

The purpose of the suggested
changes is to remove the elements
of fear and persecution from Hell

Former Mawrter
Arrested in Miss.

Nancy Sours, a former Bryn
Mawr student, spent five days
last week in jail in Moss Point,
Mississippi. —

She was arrested when she tried
to eat with a biracial group at a
lunch counter in a drug store, the
Associated Press reports. She was
charged with *trefusing to obey a
police command,”’

Arrested with Nancy were a
recent graduate of Pembroke
College and four Moss Point
Negroes. Three of the Negroes are
still in jail, unable to raise $750
each for baile Bond money for

~ Nancy was sent by her family after

the court refused to accept a
property bond offered by local
Negroes.

While in jail, the prisoners en-
gaged in a hunger strike.

Nancy was in the class of ’65
but decided to spend this year in
the South before returning to
school,

Undergrad Votes
e e

That ‘Big Five’

e * B e
Will Remain Five

Possible changes in representa-
tional membership and status of the
Curriculum Committee were con-
sidered by the Executive Council
of Undergrad at the meeting last
Monday night.

Reflecting concern for stronger
underclassman participation in the
work of the Committee, sug-
gestions were made that represen-
tatives from dormitories be added.
Present membership includes two
upperclassman representatives
from each major department, and
two from each class.

The argument in favor of the
addition stated that due tothe dorm
‘ the campus,
dorm- reps are a more effective
means of both receiving sugges-
tions and keeping a greater number
of students informed. However,
Chairman Margie Aronson pointed
out that the change would bring
membership to at least 47, and

might impair the Committee’s ef-
ficiency.

It was decided that the question
be referred to the’Curriculum
Committee this week, and that Un-
dergrad will vote next Monday tak-
ing into consideration the recom-
mendation it submits.

Executive Council voted to re-
tain the Curriculum Committee in
the Undergraduate Association, in-
stead of elevating it to the position

of an autonomous organization.
sie. vote was based on the idea

_ that any. change..in. status would

ngt havea beneficial effect on its
functioning, i

Week, thereby making it a period
of creative competition between the
freshman and sophomore classes.
Hopefully, such an image would
encourage all freshmen to partici-

‘pate and would avoid individual

incidents of persecution.

The central committee, begun
this year, would be enlarged and
strengthened by including one soph-'
omore representative from each
hall, plus the sophomore class
president, vice president and
traditions chairman. Sophomores
from. each hall would submit state-
ments of their Hell Week themes
to the committee before the sem-
ester break inorderto avoid theme
duplication and to make certain that
themes are inthe realm of fantasy.
In addition, the committee would
encourage sophomore participa-
tion, the degree of which
determines the
failure of Hell Week in any hall.

It was decided that. a positive
approach should be taken by sopho-
mores, juniors and seniors in their
Hell Week tales, which form the
basis of freshman preconception of
the activities involved, Rather than
stressing punishment and persecu-
tion, they would better stress wit,
creativity and competition,

Concrete rule proposals include:

1) Hell Week would begin Thurs-
day evening by delaying freshman

show rehearsal that night; Ac- ~

tivities, by being shorter, would
reach their peak Friday rather than
Thursday, and would prevent the
common Friday afternoon letdown,

2) Thursday evening sophomores
would present their introductory
skit, hand out costumes and make
assignments for Friday. Fri-
day morning freshmen would be in
costume and would present their
songs at lunch, The afternoon would
be spent preparing skits and retal-
iation, while the freshmen who need
to sleep or study would be able to
do so by signing up for location
in the library, in their rooms, or
with other freshmen. At 4:00 all
skits and activities would be per-
formed, followed by the trial.

3) The demerit system would
not be used, as some freshmen felt
it became too personal,

4) Punishments and activities
would be assigned to groups of at
least two people, or individually
only with great. care, to protect
those who are naturally more quiet
or retiring.

5) The sympathetic sophomore

‘would contact eachfreshman inher

hall on Thursday and -Friday
briefly. Complaints could be easily
aired by this means and freshmen
would appreciate the concern
shown. The hall president, not
directly involved in Hell Week,
could speak to the freshmen as a
group, inviting them to see her with
complaints.

6) All freshmen would be blind-
folded during the same hours Fri-
day -- lunch to 7:00

7) Friday night’s bedtime would
be. set officially at 12:30 for all
freshmen, with no group activity
(i.e retaliation) allowed between
that hour and 8:00 Saturday morn-
ing. They would be told that for pur-
poses of health, they would need a
full night’s sleep, with the show
and punishments ahead.

8) Individual freshmen would
still be allowed to abstain from Hell
Week activities but would know this
through personal contact, not of-
ficial notification. é

Johns Elected Undergrad Prexy

Popie Johns is the new presi-
dent of the Bryn Mawr Under-
graduate Association as a result
of campus-wide elections held

this week. Acceding to the presi-.

dency of the Self-Government
Association is Allie McDowell.

The new Undergrad president
summed up her reaction to the
election: ‘*I am awed,’’ She added
that, with the reorganized Cur-
riculum Committee to take care
of our home problems, something
should now be done to help boost
Bryn Mawrters’ social life --
‘Something which really involves



students’ interests more- than
mixers,’® she said, ‘I think the
plans for turning the College Inn
into a student union are parti-
cularly important.’”

Allie McDowell had this to say

about her election to the presi-~—

dency of Self-Gov: ‘‘I1 am honored
more than anything, and I hope
that the students will support me
in helping me to do all they would
like me to do,’’

Campus Elections to Continue
With V.P., Secretary Contests

Campus Elections will continue
next week with the sélection of
vice presidents and secretaries for
the Undergraduate Association and
the Self-Government A’ssociation.

Candidates for the position of
vice president of Undergrad are:

Erdman Will Add
Finishing Touches
With Furnishings

Decisions concerning furniture,
lighting. and similar details in-
dicate that Erdman is progressing
rapidly toward completion. An
interior decorator is presently de-
ciding upon the furniture for the
public rooms and plans for bed-
room furnishings are now definite.

The students’? maximum comfort
and convenience were the main
determining factors inthe choice of
bedroom furniture. The. desks will
be similar to those in Rhoads,
but with one addition: a side shelf
will pull out to hold a typewriter.
In. order to provide more wall
space, the bookcases are to be
higher and more narrow. Every
room in Erdman has a window
seat.

The rates for rooms in the new
dorm as posted by Dean Marshall
are the maximum fee for suites

, and the minimum fee for all other

rooms, It is hoped there will be
an even distribution of students
living there both asto their classes

and_as to the dorms from which |

they will be moving.

Liesa Stamm, Cabbs Denton,
Caroline Willis and Helen.Robin-
son,

Babs Keith and Sarah Matthews
are nominees for secretary of
Undergrad.

Contenders for. the office of
Self-Gov vice president are: Mary
Daubenspeck, Sheila Dowling, Jean
Kann, Kit Howard and Celia
Rumsey.

Claudia Mangum, Susan Harrah,
Marilyn Williams, Charlotte
Austin and Emily Singer are
candidates for secretary of Self-
Gov.

Presidents of each class will
hold class meetings Monday at
which all the candidates will be
introduced. Students will have an
additional opportunity to meet and
talk to the Undergrad vice presi-
dential nominees at a tea Monday
night.

The exact days for balloting have
not yet been decided, but will be
announced in each hall by the
Undergrad representatives.

Representation

The problem of fair representation to Curriculum Committee dis-
cussed at Jast Monday’s Undergrad meeting brings forward the related
issue of efficient circulation of information on campus, In judging the
fairest system of representation, we must consider the plan that will
bring the views of the greatest number of students to the committee and
in turn will keep the greatest number informed.

At present Curriculum Committee contains one rep from each of the
28 major departments and two reps from each class. A new suggestion
proposes the introduction of dorm reps, This week the committee will
meet to draft a proposal of its own which will be submitted to Undergrad
for a vote.

It is obvious that the-reps from major departments are indispensable
to a committee that must keep in close contact with existing. situations
and problems in all segments of the curriculum. Their large number,
however, demands caution in-the addition of 12 new members. ~

A combination of major, dorm and hall reps would enlarge the group
to an unwieldly size. The issue emerges: would dorm reps be more
valuable as representatives and campus contacts than class reps?

With the present class reps, the committee is assured of opinions
from the freshmen and sophomores, If these members were replaced
by dorm reps, the committee would find itself composed almost ex-
clusively of juniors and seniors. This would shift the emphasis from
more general, required courses to the more specialized major cotrses
~- those usually taken by upperclassmen.

To maintain representation of all classes -- particularly the fresh-
men.and sophomores, who can reap the benefits of any reforms achieved
by the committee -- we advocate the continuation of the present system
of major and class reps. This balance of lower and upperclassmen, of
general and specific course interests, will keep the committee repres-
entative of opinion from all areas of the student bodv.

A New Dimension

Haverford’s recently elected student government officials have become
the center of an academic controversy on that campus -- a controversy
which directly concerns Bryn Mawr, They are.attempting to give a new



“dimension to an old philosophy of learning; they are attempting to com-

bine theory and practicability. The theory is the widely held ideal of the
student _that learning should be conscientious, creative and individual.
Specific applications of this theory to Haverford, and, if the plan
succeeds there, to Bryn Mawr, would create a kind of academic Utopia. °
Among the proposals for such a system are more individual work with

.. professors for students in advanced level courses where the student-

faculty ratio is small (1-15), changes in the present marking system
at Haverford which would lead, eventually, to the elimination of the
conventional numerical grading system, and a program to integrate the

academic lives of the two campuses by encouraging more students to .

take courses at the other college. This last point is aimed toward an
expansion of diversification of the course selection, and, if another
- aspect of it were realized, introductory level courses would be taught
by a pool of professors from both schools.

The academic philosophy which forms the basis of this plan has been
widely articulated by students on our two campuses. Now that it is being
given practical impetus, the question of its feasibility becomes crucial.
It is argued by the propapents of this plan that abolishing a conventional
marking system will give the student more freedom for creative in-
dividual work and that he will learn for the sake of knowledge. This
version, is, of course, the ideal. A competitive grading system has
always functioned as an impetus to. the inactive ‘student; further, the
world of higher education still requires some practical, competitive
means of evaluating its possible students, Thus, at its inception, perhaps
it would be better for us at BMC to consider the other two points of the
plan, especially the ideasfor agreater academic communication between
the two schools to expand and diversify curriculum. Since this plan is
already in effect, broadening its scope shouldn’t be difficult.

The success of Haverford’s academic honor system has made it a
focal point for scholastic innovation and linked its name with academic
freedom. The plan now proposed is not any less “‘radical’’ than the
honor system extension. However, its success or failure depends on the
willingness. of the student body to practice such an academic philosophy.

The Bryn Mawr-Princeton production of Hippolytus Sunday afternoon
was a significant success, winning enthusiastic response from the
audience who nearly filled McCarter Theater.

The Greek production, which will be repeated here on May 1, was a
student-inspired idea, and congratulations go to Pilar Richardson and
Anne Lovgren, who helped transform a casual conversation last fall
with Princeton friends into the polished performance given Sunday. At
that time, the two Bryn Mawr juniors contacted Cynthia Gardiner, ’63,
presently a research assistant at the Institute for Advanced Studies at
Princeton, and persuaded her to direct the production.

The significance of the production and its success is manifold. The
usual isolation of Bryn Mawr from other schools was completely broken
down with enthusiasm on both sides. The fact that students came from a
variety of colleges ranging from Wellesley to NYU furthered the depth
- and value of the exchange aspect of the production and indicates real
willingness on the part of other schools to contribute to such an ex-

change. Most significant of all, the fact that the production owes its -

‘existence to students themselves is clear proof that any isolation we
_ stiffer is entirely our own fault. Let’s hope that the HIPPOLYTUS

Rights
To the Editor:

Masochistic Mawrters noisily
beat their breasts and yell, ‘*We’re
apathetic!’ In the meantime, other
campuses 'fabidly try to do things
and are-thwarted by conservative
if not red-baiting administrations
and communities,

The college population of the
U.S.A. is politically ineffective
if not inert. This need not be so.

' Students must realize the power

they could command, as members
of a democratic society, if. they
demanded it and used it maturely.

American college administra-
tions traditionally function ‘in loco
parentis,’? a position which puts
students ‘in loco liberorum”? until
age 22. This makes exercising his
rights off campus as a citizen
difficult for the student. Two years
ago, students at Indiana University
were unjustly arrested for forming
a pro-Cuba committee, The uni-
versity refused to defend the stu-
dents’ rights in the face of public
opinion. Surely the right to join
organizations and to find what

political attitudes he wants to hold °

are necessary parts of a student’s
academic freedom, to say nothing
of his civil rights. Surely uni-
versities would not sacrifice in-
tellectual liveliness because of the
possible ‘‘dangerous elements”’
students would be exposed to -
would they?

To discuss the question of aca-
demic freedom and rights, the
Emergency Civil Liberties Com-
mittee, (ECLC) is sponsoring a
conference on ‘Democracy on
Campus,”’? March 27th at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, The main
speaker will be Frank Donner,
author of THE UNAMERICANS,
speaking on ‘‘Intimidation of Stu-
dents.’? Others are professor Al
Krebs, formerly of Antioch Col-
lege, and Mario Savio of Berkeley,

A statement of conditions neces-
sary to academic freedom. will
be modified by conferences in
seminar groups, then presented to
the group in final draft. The ECLC
hopes to publish this statement.
A watchdog committee will be
formed to facilitate communica-
tion among campuses represented.

Conference attendants will go
back and light fires under students
to get to work on campus, Or-
ganization and agitation begins at
home,

I find it difficult to believe
that an organization which so
vitally concerns each member
of the college community ‘(ipso

to decide its own composition.

ment of South Africa. The group

On the other hand, _ the

a request for consistency unrea-

Persistance.

To the Editor: ©

The emotions centering around
Curriculum Committee have re-
cently run the gamut from heated

“debate to indifferent.disdain within

Undergrad itself. Perhaps there
is an object lesson implicit in this
progress of emotion - for those
sufficiently concerned about Un-
dergrad to follow its . activities.

There is aresurgent, spasmodic
pressure for change at BMC. Not
for specific change, but merely for
change, Too often those who initiate
motions for change do not take
cognizance of the responsibility
they have thereby assumed. The
result is an unfinished project,
idea, etc., left to be completed
(more often discarded) by a dis-
interested group which, handi-
capped by indifference, cannot do
the idea justice.

Perhaps -it is time that
**leaders’’ and agitators assumed
the responsibility to: 1. realize
that committment to a project
must continue through the project’s
completion; 2. examine the
ultimate consequences of a change
before initiating it; 3. spend time
finding innovations to_ satisfy
existing needs rather than creating
(or hypothesizing about) needs to
suit their projects.

Facing Up

To the Editor:
I received a letter from three
students which I would like to

bring tothe attention of the campus,

It reads:
What chances are there for
starting a COED folkdance
group with Haverford?? Not
that WE want to organize it
but would like to see one at
least attempted.

In answer to this letter, the
chances of getting such a group
started are very good ~ provided
that someone is willing and able
to organize it. If all those who are
interested have the same attitude
as the girls who wrote the letter,
a group will never get organized,
-Someone-has--to..do the work, It
seems to me that there is some-
thing drastically wrong when
people are only willing to cash
in on the work of others rather
than do the work themselves.

After being the president of an
organization for a year, and seeing
so clearly how many good ideas
fail because there is no one who
is willing to take the extra time to
do the ‘dirty’? work, I have not
yet seen an answer to this dilemma.
It is not only the Athletic Asso-
ciation which is plagued by this

Full House, Enthusiastic Crowd Precision and Clarity Dominate

Cheer ‘Hippolytus’ at Princeton

by Pilar Richardson

The HIPPOLYTUS of Euripedes,
under the .excellent .dizection of
Cynthia. Gardiner, was teceived
with great enthusiasm and a full
house- at Princeton’s McCarter
Theater this past weekend,

For those who arrived at the
theatre slightly overawed by‘the
prospect of listening to classical
Greek, there were extensive pro-
gram notes, However, it was
evident from the poetry Of the lines
and the excellent acting that the
play could be as easily understood
as an opera,

One of the most interesting as-
pects of the play was that the
goddesses Aphrodite and Artemis
remained on stage throughout the
production as representative
statues when not actually speaking.
The audience was thus aware ofthe
major part that the goddesses
played in directing the fate of all

Lattimore Lecture
To Offer Preview
To New Antigone

In connection with the Phila-
delphia Drama Guild’s coming pro-
duction of Jean Anouilh’s AN-
TIGONE, . Richmond |. Lattimore,
Paul Shorey Professor of Greek,
will discuss the ‘‘main issues?’
involved in the play this -Satur-
day at .8:30 p.m. at. the Ethical
Culture Hall, 1906 South Ritten-'
house Square in Philadelphia,

Dr, Lattimore will discuss the
themes in the Antigone legend as
treated by Anouilh and by
Sophocles. He feels that Anouilh
always keeps the Greek original
in mind, but has ‘**modernized’’
.the tragedy by changing its tone
and emphasis. By eliminating the
religious aspect of Sophocles’ play
-- the-emphasis—upon- Zeus and
divine law -- Anouilh has focused
upon Antigone’s action as a per~
sonal decision: Antigone dis-
obeys the order of Creon only
because she cannot live with her-
self otherwise.

Anouilh’s version is also pre-
sented, Dr. Lattimore feels, ‘‘in
a quieter key’’ than the Greek
original,
not even Antigone, seems todisplay
really violent feelings of anger or
indignation during the play, andthe
unwillingness of Creon to have
Antigone put to death again places
emphasis on Antigone’s struggle as
a personal one: the moral question
is certainly the same in both ver-
sions, but it is perhaps less
definitely resolved by Anouilh than
by Sophocles.

The Philadelphia Drama Guild
will present Anouilh’s play from
Wednesday, March 17 (a special
preview), through Saturday, March
27, at 8:30 p.m., with Saturday
Matinees at 2:30 p.m., at the
Playhouse, 1714 Delancey Street.
Tickets are between $2.00 and
$3.00, and may be reserved by call-

speeches as the huntsmen’s hymn

- to Artemis were completely com-

prehensible, as they could be
spoken directly to the appropriate
goddess.

Diana Willis as Phaedra gave
a--performance well worthy of
praise for its fine dramatization
of the tragic implications of the
part. Perhaps the pathos in her
speech. seemed a trifle startling
at first; however one must re-
member that Phaedra was a child
bride who had come to understand
the full portent of incestuous love
and dishonor, In the light of these
facts, Diana Willis’ presentation
was superb,

Bill Janeway, who played the
part of Theseus, is to be com-
mended for his regal and stylistic
interpretation of the role, Whether
fistening to the pleas of the Chorus
or calling upon Poseidon to curse
Hippolytus, Bill Janeway retained
the . power. and. magnetism of a
kingly figure.

Cynthia Gardiner, Bryn Mawr
°63, in addition to directing the
production, played the part of
Phaedra’s Nurse, Cynthia gave a
versatile and adept interpretation
of the Nurse, by turns cajoling,
pleading with and deceiving
Phaedra. As some students at
Bryn Mawr may remember, she
played the lead in ANTIGONE in
*63.

Hippolytus was an exceedingly
difficult part to play, and despite
some initial hesitancy, Paul Wood-
ruff gave an admirable presenta-
tion, He was at his best in the
final scene where he stood, mortal-
ly wounded and totally bewildered
by the punishment that Aphrodite

p.m. in Goodhart Hall.

Selections will be presented by
each group separately with
Washington and Lee conducted by
Mr. Robert Stewart. The Bryn
Mawr College Chorus, directed by
Mr. Robert L. Goodale, will sing
four SONGS OF YOUTH written by
Hans Gal for the Chorus on the
occasion of the 75th anniversary of
the College. By coincidence, they
comprise Dr. Gal’s Opus 75.

Both choruses and the brass
ensemble will perform PSALM

MIT, Haverford-BMC Concert

by inancy L. Milner, '65

Precision and clarity dominated
the performance of the LEONORE
OVERTURE NO, 2, which opened
the concert given Sunday -after-
noon by the combined orchestras

John. Corley of MIT conducted an
almost classical interpretation of
this piece by Beethoven,- Notable
aspects of the performance were
the clear, rich tone of the solo
trumpet, and the rapid string pas-
sages which occur near the end
of the overture. The latter were
beautifully executed, building al-
most chaotically until they burst
into the sonority of a recurrent

‘Hippolytus’ Dead-icates
Giddyup Their Hearse

by Pilar Richardson

Hippolytus was conceived as a
serious venture and came to be
only through a great deal of hard
work on the part of all concerned,
BUT there were many funny
moments,



We had a small transportation
problem, to say the least -- ever
try to transport twenty-odd girls
up to Princeton for rehearsals?
The obvious answer was-to rent
the Hearse from the Princeton
Band. Great fun to drive, that

oan guards Pete Sartiets and Armstead Williams protect the
fair BMC goddesses of Hippolytus.

Little did Paul Woodruff know
when he first came to Bryn Mawr
to see Lantern Night that some of
the Lantern Swingers would one
day become goddesses.

One of the first meetings was
held on Halloween, and several
cast members found themselves on
a picnic, carving comedy and
tragedy masks out of pumpkins.

Then came the skylarking trips
up to Princeton for dinner in the
middle of the week. Business first,
of course, but later witticisms and
general fun. It was at one of these
meetings that the Princetonians
put their foot down as to which
Bryn Mawrter should play which
goddess.

theme,

Brahms’ SYMPHONY NO, 1 was
the chief work on the program,
Conducted by William Reese of

Haverford, the orchestra per- .

formed admirably, even magtifi-
cently in places. The opening
movement was: impressive. after
the initial shock of the rapid pace.
The increased tempo lightened the
music somewhat, but it also en-
abled the orchestra to sustain the
tension stated in the music. The
second and third movements were
perhaps less successful, At times
the orchestra appeared tobe fight-
ing the conductor. The net result
was a considerable loss of con-
trol, and, of course, of effect.
The final movement was particu-
larly inspired, however. The open-
ing crescendoes were strong and
secure, Dr. Reese’s conducting

was extremely precise inthe diffi-

cult pizzicato passages. As a
consequence they were clean and
dynamic, showing remarkable con-
trol on the parts of both the con-
ductor and the orchestra.

The LIEUTENANT KIJE SUITE
of‘ Prokofiev, conducted by John
Corley, was an ambitious under-
taking. The tone of the work is
one of hoax and cynicism and is
clearly illuminated in the open-
ing movement, the ‘*Birth of Kije.”’
Unfortunately the joke was on the
orchestra in the second movement,
This section fell flat; the melan-
choly mood indicated in the pro-
gram notes gave way to a situation
which was comically“tragic. In
the tradition of Humpty Dumpty
it. required a trumpet and saxo-
phone duet to put the pieces to-
gether again, It is a tribute to the
strength and lyricism construed
by the offstage trumpet player that
he seemed to draw conductor,
orchestra and soloists into a single
unit. Control was again re-estab-

the rhythms, which resemble those
employed by Milhaud, were pro-
nounced and comprehensible, The
humor of Prokofiev was recovered
with the ‘‘Burial of Kije’’ and the
recall of the original themes.
Generally the orchestra reacted
beautifully to the totally different
conducting techniques of Reese
and Corley. It was a pleasure to
observe both men work and to
note the different effects stimu-
lated by the leadership of each.

Three F aculty Members Reveal
Their Philosophies of Education

*t] stand here before, you as a
wielder of power,’’ said Mrs. Mc-
Caffery at the Social Action Com-
mittee’s discussion of: ‘*Philos-
ophies of Education’? on Tuesday
night, March 2. Mrs, McCaffery
went on to explain that this meant
that students ought to realize that
the faculty sometimes knew best,
specifically concerning matters of
curriculum requirements,

She defended the traditional lib-
eral arts goal of educatign; that
of a specialization in depth
still allows for a general educa-
tion, The importance of a general
education, she said, needs to be
stressed more in this age of
specilization, This is to be done
by realizing the purpose of a
general education, which is to
become sensitive of your own
powers in various fields, that is,
to learn what you’re not good at,
‘Also if you haven*’t directed your
imagination and energies enough
to have some “acquaintance with

~ fields-other than your major, then

you can’t really understand
anybody whose life is devoted to
pursuits other than your own,

continued the discussion by
directing the topic more partic-
ularly to Bryn Mawr. Mr, Davidon
stated that possibly all courses
should be unrequired. He felt
that the purpose of course require-
ments (stopping the dangers of over
specialization and alleviating the
aifficulties of completely unguided
students) may not really apply at
BMC, and that there could conceiv-
ably be students to whom these
requirements would be an undue
burden,
Mr. Baratz expanded this by
definitely stating that there should

Swimmers Sink ‘Neath Waves;

be no requirements, but that wide
sampling should be encouraged. He
said that too many students con-

sider their first two years as an-

obstacle course with the point to

hurdle all the requirements and get

them out of the way. So. the stu-
dent who knows his major interest,
is just marking time.

These faculty members did
agree, however, on the main goals
of a Bryn Mawr education; to teach
us how to teach ourselves and to
know ourselves as individuals and
as human beings.

BMC Bows to Swarthmore

Swarthmore dunked the varsity
swim squad 41-34 Wednesday, al-
though Bryn Mawr took wins as
follows: first in freestyle and med-
ley relays; first in backstroke,
Cat MacVeagh; first in butterfly,

‘Sue Orbeton;. and second in div-

ing, Hilary Hosmer.

The JV lost 48-28, having racked
up points with first places in the
medley relay and the backstroke
by Anne Livingston.

Placing first in only the free-
style relay after a false start
by their opponents, varsity swim-
mers lost 43-18 to West Chester
February 17, Sue Orbeton tallied
a- second. place in the 50-yard
butterfly: for the varsity; the JV
squad lost 38-6. A week later
the varsity team met University
of Pennsylvania girls and the
score was 39-36 with. Penn on
top,

Also meeting Penn in February
were the basketball teams, varsity
losing 48-31 and JV winning 20-

12. The two. squads madea
parallel showing against Drexel,
the varsity losing and the JV
winning.

Piling up its second and third

badminton team, which beat Ur-
sinus 4-1 February 18 and Chest-
nut Hill 5-0 February 23, The
JV won 4-1 at both tourneys.

Emotionally Disturbed Children

Subject of League Discussion

League sponsored a panel dis-
cussion Monday, March 1, to re-
count four students’ experiences
with the emotionally disturbed.

- Panel members were Sue,Kemble,

Ruth Levy, en Scott and Liesa
Stamm.

Lynette worked last. summer
as a recreation director and child
care worker at the Wallingford
Home for emotionally disturbed
boys. The daily routine there in-
cluded supervising the boys at
meals and bedtime, as well as
planning special afternoon pro-
grams for them.

Lynette offered as her definition
of the emotionally disturbed per-
son, one who cannot get along
in the community, Thus the home
coordinates its activities to ac-
custom the boys to living in ‘the
community before they actually
rejoin it.

Liesa had a summer job at a
state mental hospital in Michigan,
where 4000 patients live in a self-
contained community and help in
maintenance work, sewing and
other tasks.

In the face of a large patient-

‘doctor ratio, little individual ther -

apy is possible, and most treat-
ment is carried on through drugs
or milieu therapy - the effect

of the hospital setting.

According to Liesa, mental ill-
ness is neyer really cureable. She
defined mental health as communi-
ty toleration.

Sue worked for a year at the
Massa¢husetts Mental Health Cen-

ter, Part of the state hospital
system, it is also the Harvard
psychiatric teaching hospital, and
contains three house wards of 60
each, as well as smaller research
wards, -*

As a teaching hospital, the cen-
ter offered constant on-the-floor
training and classes for nurses,
doctors, etc. Sue worked as a
member of the nursing staff on
a non-professional basis,

Ruth spent a summer working
for the Devereux School, where
staff and students are on a one-
to-one. ratio. Most of the 800
emotionally disturbed students are
between the ages of eight and 20.

The school employs residential
treatment, with many small units
scattered throughout the communi-
ty. Each self-contained unit has
such facilities as schools, gyms,
art centers and football fields.
A set of house parents lives in
each unit. :

Each~ child -has~ contact witha
physician, psychiatrist, psycholo-
gist, social worker and educator.
Programs are often vocational,
since the students cannot continue
academic work.
