May Day started early this
morning when sophomores rose at

coffee and doughnuts,

Collecting their May baskets,

‘Cheaper Living on the Main Line’

Is May Queen’s Budget

Following is the text of May
Queen Caroline Willis’ morn-
ing speech -- Ed.

The other day, while I was wait-
ing for the free phone, I happened
to hear a fascinating conversation.
The topic was, it turned out, ‘‘How
to Save Money without being Really
Trying’’ or ‘‘Cheaper Living on the
Main Line.’’ As I had a pencil
and paper with me, I took notes
and I wish now to share these
with you.

First, in the area of residence,
the hall dining rooms will hence-
forth observe all Fasts (both reli-
gious and political) on a campus-
wide basis. Those students who
wish to eat may participate in
group discussions,

To help with maintenance, facul-
ty members may find supple-
mentary employment cleaning stu-
dents’ rooms. This will be a Good
Thing in two ways:

a) it will encourage greater at-
tention to detail on the part of the

student body, as no girl would
leave her room in its present
state to be seen by her major
professor.

b) the faculty salaries will in
this way be augmented,

In order .to cut down electricity
wastage following the example of
New York, the campus power plant
will be turned down at 6 p.m. and
off completely at midnight. This
is, you may have noticed, already
in effect in the main reading room
of the library. Also, to make full
use of Daylight Savings Time,
students will be awakened from
now on at 5:45 by the sophomores
inseach dorm.

In the realm of the academic,
those girls who do not participate
in class discussions shall be re-
quired to pay a higher tuition to
compensate the professors for
their increased work load. Those
Bryn Mawrters wishing to listen
to a course shall pay admission
at the door.

Due to the success of allowing





Solution

people with Haverford courses to
walk there in the snow, by a joint
agreement of the Gym Dept. and
the Buildings and Grounds Dept.,
the bus will be used in the future
to house the overflow of fresh-
men.

Student activities will be some-
what altered under the new money-
saving system. The outgoing A.A.
president has announced that since
the ’65-’66 sports season was so
successful, BMC teams will turn
professional to help meet costs
of keeping the Gym open on week-
ends.

The social chairman cooperated
fully by resigning; the money thus
saved will provide more band-
aids for Rock andindoor swimming
facilities for the Pembrokes.

In doing her part to save money,
but ostensibly in order to secure
more privacy in sign-outs, the
out-going Self-Gov president has
arranged for ail switchboards to
be ‘removed from the halls, many
of which were deteriorating from
lack of use anyway. The switch-
boards will be replaced by empty
boxes labelled indiscriminately
«¢‘Out’? and ‘‘‘In.’? Those students
who fail to comply must file an
Operation Match form with the
Dean’s office.

Due to the success of morning
coffees in several of the halls,
the Administration has decided to
tear down the Deanery. The area
cleared will provide space for 4a
five-story parking garage, staffed
by Burns men who failed to meet
the «¢997’’ requirement for regular
college patrol duty.

Most exciting of all is the new
money-saving plan outlined by the
Calendar Committee! Due to~ the
vast number of snags in the new
calendar it was decided by unani-
mous vote that for the academic

year 1966-67 the college will not
. Open.
