BMC Loses “Awenty-Three
For Next Year’s Faculty
In the coming academic year
23 faculty members are leaving
Bryn. .Mawr either. permanently
or temporarily, Hardest hit will
be the English Department, which
will see the loss -of five teach-
ers, two of whom will be on sab-
batical leave for the year,
Miss Mary K, Woodworth, pro-
fessor of English and head of the
department, is retiring. Mrs,
...Catherine Myers and Robert L,
Patten, both assistant professors
of English,-will be taking one-year
sabbaticals. Mrs. Isabel G, Mac-
Caffrey, professor of English, is
leaving ‘Bryn Mawr permanently,
She will teach at Churchill College
in England next year,
K, Scott Morgan, lecturer in
English, looks forward to teach-
ing in ‘‘the larger, perhaps less
personal, institutions which con-
stitute the majority of what’s hap-
pening in education today,’’ He has‘
accepted a teaching position at the
University of Nebraska, where he
hopes to have colleagues who might
be working on the same type of re-
search as he and who might be
able to give him some new ideas,
..He was stimulated by the ‘‘open-
néss, frankness and enthusiasm of
the student community towards
their programs at Nebraska,
Morgan has enjoyed teaching
at Bryn.Mawr, but he feels there
is a lack of student participation,
Even when-a student does interject
a comment, it is usually not the
type of remark which promotes
an ‘‘all-round’’ discussion,
Mrs, Hanson of the art depart-
ment has been offered a position
at the Museum of Modern Art in
New York.
~Another-loss to the college will
.be the retirement of ‘Miss Janet M,
Agnew, head librarian, Miss Car— -
men Salvoni, instructor in Span-
ish and Italian and head of the
Spanish House, is leaving Bryn
Mawr permanently to return to
Madrid, Miss Lilo Stern, lec-
turer in Anthropology, is also
leaving. .
Robert F, Lyke, assistant pro-
‘fessor of political science, has
accepted a position with the
Princeton faculty, He is working
‘towards a degree from Oxford
University, and at Princeton he
will receive the funds necessary
for the completion of this work,
Also, Lyke has become much more
interested in. doing field work in
city schools and urban ‘develop-
ment, for which he has need of
increased funds and better facil-
ities -- such as secretarial serv-
ice,
Lyke asserts that there is noth-
ing at all negative about Bryn
Mawr, and, in fact, he will be giv-
ing up. a lot by leaving. When
questioned about the salary scale
here, he said that it may beslight-
ly lower than at other ‘‘name’’
schools, but that Bryn Mawr has
many fringe benefits for its pro-
fessors, He stated that at the ‘jun-
ior’’ professorship level the pay.
is about the same as at other
institutions, At the ‘‘senior’’ lev-

FBI Investigates _
Brenda Jefferson
On April 9th Brenda Jefferson
left Bryn Mawr for a Black Stu-
dents’ Conference at Princeton.
That same day two men showed
up at Pem East looking for her.
When she returned several days
later, ae discovered that the men
Photo by Mary Yee
were agents of the FBI and that
she was being investigated.
Speaking to the men over the
phone, she learned that the FBI
» wanted to question her about ‘‘de-
monstrations -.at national mo-
numents’ and black power acti-
vities.’”? Her immediate reaction
was, ‘‘You’ve got to be kidding.”
however, she agreed to meet with
the men (although not at the site
Q
they originally proposed -- the
Bryn Mawr train station),
’ Brenda went immediately to
Mrs. Pruett, who in turn contacted
Tyson Stokes, an attorney on the
Board of Trustees. When Brenda
finally met the FBI agents, it was
in Stokes’s office in Philadelphia.
(She said the agents were visibly
shaken by the fact that she was
equipped with legal counsel.)
The men asked her questions
about alleged statements of hers
concerning possible — riots this
summer; about activities of black
radicals at Bryn Mawr and Prince-
ton; about people who might be
planning riots (Brenda; ‘‘Any in-
troductory sociology student knows
riots aren’t planned.’’); and about
“defacing, national monuments,”
She has no explanation whatever
for the source of the last item.
After the interview, the agents
apologized for involving her in the
investigation. However, Brenda
says she cannot help feeling that
her activities may be suspected
at any time. Furthermore, she
is convinced that the information
the FBI had about her associations
at Princeton and about statements
has made could only have come
to them through someone who knew
her well (say, a girl in her dorm),
She concludes that ‘‘either the FBI
has an undercover agent here, or
else someone went running to the.
free phone in the dead of night’
to report her. The fact that no.
other students at Bryn Mawr (as.
far as’ she knows) have been in-
vestigated substantiates her
opinion. ——

Science Center Subject
Of Bi-College Meeting
“WHAT’S THE STORY ON THE
UNIVERSITY CITY - SCIENCE
CENTER?’ asks a leaflet given
to each student, faculty and ad-
ministration member at Bryn
Mawr and Haverford, by the two
schools’ joint chapter of Stu-
dents for A Democratic Society
(SDs),
SDS had planned to have a mass
meeting Friday, today, of “both
Schools to discuss the college’s
membership in the Science Cen-
ter, a research organization in
Philadelphia which is doing some
classified work for the Air Force,
But there were ‘‘several compli-
cations’? according to one mem-
ber including the fact that the
Haverford administration was
planning to hold its own meeting
to discuss the same issue?’ next
week,
Present plans call for the bi-
college community meetings to be
held in Goodhart, April 30, this
coming Tuesday, at 4:15 p.m, Miss
McBride; . John Coleman, presi-
dent of Haverford; Jean Paul Ma-
ther, executive vice-president of
the Science Center; Edward
Simms, an official of the Volun-
teer Community Resources Coun-
cil (a group representing -the
neighborhood people being evict-
ed by the Science Center’s ex-
pansion); and Carl Davidson, in-
ter - organizational secretary of
national SDS will be present at
the meeting Tuesday,
The Science Center was an is-
sue for discussion last year, when
the Uiiversity of Pennsylvania at-
tempted to transfer to it the Penn-
based Air Force and Army con-
tracts Spicerack and Summit,
These contracts became notori-
ous as being biological and chem-
ical warfare research whose re-
sults were slated for use in Viet-
nam, Partly because of the three
Quaker colleges objecting to the
contracts coming to the Science
Center, they were transferred to
a private laboratory in Chicago

Curriculum Committee
To Study Grade Systems
The joint student-faculty Cur-
riculum committee will meet on
Wednesday, May 1, to discuss the
strengths and weaknesses of the
current grading system and to con-
sider possible alternative systems.
Currently, committee represen-
tatives in each hall are presenting
the response of graduate schools
to letters sent out by the committee,
and are also trying to approach
every girl for her opinion and
preferences for a non-numerical
grading system at Bryn Mawr.
De committee would like tofind
Falageap of six systems students
(1) the present system;
(2) A, B, C, D, F; (3) high honors,
honors, pass, fail; (4) high honors,
honors, pass, fail, condition; (5)
pass, fail; or (6) pass, fail, honors,
Students are also asked whether
they want the system to apply to
all courses, all but major courses,
one course per semester, all but
requirements or requirements only
and whether they favor having a
short comment accompany each
grade. _
Hopefully every student will be
contacted and the results presented _
at the May 1 meeting will reflect
the feeling. of the whole student
body. Any students who were
missed should see their dorm reps.
Since admission to graduate
schools is a important factor when
considering a change in the grad-
ing system, the committee wrote
schools asking whether a pass-
fail transcript would handicap
applicants. Replies were received
from Harvard (Arts andSciences,
Law), Yale (Arts and Sciences,
Law), UNC, MIT, Cornell,
Columbia, Penn, Chicago, Illinois,
NYU and Bryn Mawr.
The general response from these
schools did not favor a pass-fail
grading in all courses, However,
they can handle a transcript with
further catagories, as in the Yale
system, or with pass-fail grading
outside the major area.
Harvard said, for example, ‘‘A
transcript without grades does, of
course, handicap a student seeking
entrance here. A transcript with
evaluation rather than numerical
grades, I think, does not.’’ -’
As listed on the questionaire,
there are various. ways of grading
that fall somewhere between the
present 100 point numerical system
and a simple pass-fail. A good

A ‘Happy’ Class
Letters of. acceptance for ad-
mission to Bryn Mawr were mailed
out to 345-students out-of-833-ap-
plicants on April 13. By April 24,
approximately one-half of these
students had responded, and two- .
thirds of these had accepted ad-
mission.
Elizabeth Vermey, the director
of admissions, said that this year’s
group of applicants included both
more very strong candidates and
weaker ones; there were fewer ap-
plicants in the middle. Although
She felt that generalization about
the incoming class could not be
made until after May 1, the dead-
line for acceptance, Miss vermey
did say that several of the students
were involved in student govern-
ment, She also said that anumber
of the students were more scholar-
ly than usual, These students have
pursued studies beyond the usual
level ‘in high school, and some have
decided upon a field of study, and
alfeady are planning to earn their
doctorates, ‘‘I think we have a
good number of happy people com
ing,’? Miss Vermey added.
The number of applications to
Bryn Mawr decreased from 944 in
1967 to 833 this year; the number _
of applications also decreased at
the other schools, except Radcliffe,
of the Seven College Conference.
Mount Holyoke, basing its state-
ments upon its own population stud-
ies, has presented the idea that this
lower rate of applications reflects
the lower birth rate since next
year’s freshmen would have been
born during the Korean war,
Miss Vermey also noted that as
guidance counselor's are becoming
more knowledgable and liberal they
are encouraging students toinves-
tigate colleges in other areas of the
country as well as in the northeast
and middle atlantic states. Al-
though a trend towards a pref-
erence for coeducation was notic-
able in the choices of students who
refused admission last year, Miss
Vermey said that must students re-
fusing admission this year are
going instead to others of the Seven
Sisters or to similar ieee like

a referendum vote, to be held either

On the issue of possible alter-
natives to a flat ban on liquor,
an overwhelming 419 to 150 stu-
dents last spring voted for drink-
ing anywhere on campus for legal-
aged undergraduates (as opposed
to drinking in specified areas),
However, this could not go into
effect unless the students first
voted to lift the rule, and 58%
of the undergraduates were against
this,
The dress rule was retained

Two To Tango
The class-cutting evaluation form aistfiouted re-
cently has béen the object of much discussion and
the outlet for many pent-up complaints, I think this
type_of student-faculty dialogue may ve very li@Ipful~ —
in solving what has become a major sapegare Bryn .
Mawr. But I also think that the pr em is
much more subtle than the typical response
‘¢Classes are dull!’’ would indicate,
This semester I attended classes quite regularly
because the courses are good and the class hours
beneficial, At other times, I have not hesitated to
cut when I thought the class-dull and repetitive be-
cause the professor did not bother to prepare or to
stimulate the class, In these cases I came to feel
‘that it was my duty to complete reading assignments,
but not to devote wasted class hours thatwere often
frustrating. Even the best reading can be made to
seem tedious, and the best subject made trivial by
a poor choice of syllabus,
Classes are a mutual endeavor, I can certainly
understand a professor’s discouragement at an in-
-communicative, apathetic and poorly attended class,
At the game time, the student whois willing to pre-
pare and to participate becomes discouraged with
poor and unstimulating direction, Perhaps itis un-
reasonable to demand that professors consider each
of their classes a ‘‘performance’’; and unreasonable
to expect that they know more and are better pre-.
pared than the student, and are able to handle any
questioning of the validity or implications of their
statements, But it seems to me that this is exact-
ly what the commitment to the teaching profession
on the college level involves, The scholar who can
not, or has no interest in communicating with his
students has no place on an undergraduate faculty
like that of Bryn Mawr.
There has also been much mention by both fac-
ulty and students about the lack or low quality of
discussion in classes, On the other side, we might
consider that certain class material does not lend
itself to discussion,. Often well-intentioned pro-
fessors omit lectures in favor of discussion whichis
frequently forced and uncomfortable, Those lec-
tures that are informative and provocative (and not
mere rehearsals of reading assignments) will stim-

ulate thought and discussion in themselves, . My
philosophy courses this semester operate in that
precise fashion, A few carefully placed statements
~at the middle or end of a well=-plannedand thought-
ful lecture often trigger responses that the pro-
fessor never hesitates to answer or to refer to the
class, Another English professor presents lec-
tures that are sobrilliant and imaginative that better
commentaries could not be found in textbooks, The
attendance at these classes (although large and lec-
ture-oriented) is very high.
In general, I would much rather listen toa pene-
trating, organized lecture than to uninformed op-
inion which results in an incoherent hour, . This
prérerence has been developing over the course ~
of ‘my junior year as my academic commitment
becomes more serious, I think that as under-
classmen we are more enamoured of the idea of
stimulating arguments and discussion, often with-
out any substantial basis in reading and in re-
search, Perhaps then we feel less responsible
for the validity and proof of our. statements, and
are more impressed with the sounds of words;~As —
more advanced students, we may demand more pre-
cision and depth of thought, Perhaps it is just that
we become more interested in the subject under in-
vestigation thanin ourselves... spend more time as
seniors talking about honors papers than as sopho-
mores talking about identities. .Not that both modes
of expression don’t have their proper places in the
educative process, Yet the objective approach
seems the more mature result of a period of ed-
ucative growth, :
While I may have wandered afield, I do feel that
this distinction is relevant to the matter of class-
room criticism, and to the level of classes I now
find most appealing, . .precise, compact, and per-
haps more sophisticated than a discussion can al-
ways afford, My point is that professors should
be consistent in the high quality of material de- -
livered in class, and that students should continue
to recoghize the value of this kind of mature
approach, Again, classes ARE a mutual endeavor,

To the Editor:
I guess you will agree that THE
COLLEGE NEWS is the best way
to say goodby to Bryn Mawr Col-
lege - not for ever, I hope -
now that I am going to leave. And,
to begin with, let me thank you
for the kind coverage you made
of my staying here. I am simply
just if I say that Miss Pollock’s
discussion af my first lecture was
a model of summing up and re-
arranging ideas in a way both
truthful and sensitive.
Even using a strong dose of
Latin rhetorics, I should have no
words for duly extending my thanks
to everybody. So, let me state
simply that never in my life did
I feel so soon and so deeply iden-
tified with the spirit of an aca-
demic institution. Let me call that
love at first sight, because since
the very beginning I felt in tune,
smoothly geared, vibrating on the
same wavelength. I do not dare
’ to. think that that was my merit.

For that kindness, my deepest
gratitude to all, faculty, admin-
istration, and students,
And finally, let me express my
admiration for your high stand-
ards, achieved with such a hu-
man blend of simple rule and spon-
taneity. I know some of the stu-
dents have disagreements - I read
THE COLLEGE NEWS very care-
_ fully, as you see - but conflicts
are the salt and spice of life, Not
having conflicts means being dead,
and this campus is really alive.
And, on the other hand - I am very
glad to say this - far away from
the kind of conflicts we endure at
my University of Madrid; youneed
only read the newspapers. Those
are undesirable conflicts, and I
wish you very heartfully never to
know them..
Only the feeling of bringing with
me so many new friendships, and
the pride of having been one of you
during thoSe weeks, can mitigate
a bit of the sadness of my de-
parture from under the sweet sha-
dow of Taylor tower, Let me re-
peat again my mést sincere thanks;
and please be sure, all of you of

happy to be useful to you in Spain,
any time.

To the Editor: -
Of course the dissidents are the
most vocal, but is there anyone
left to reassure.me? At the
Freshman Tea which I attended,
we discussed ‘‘relevancy,”’ andour —
- worldy-wise contemporaries came
,on again with the messages of
doom, It is well that “they ex-
pressed their ennui, but the ex-
pression sounded like a smug
«&
and dissipated as we are! Is this
necessarily true? It’s a very
scary prospect,
As I said at that tea, maybe
you are all going to point and
stare and say funny things, but I’m
a freshman all full of naive, un-
sophisticated freshman enthu- .
siasm, and the idea of losing that
does not please me, It isn’t a
question of courses - naturally,
not all courses are super-stimu-
tating groovey wonderfuls - Idon’t
think the class-situation hassles
are relevant,
Are we here torn in too many
directions too roughly by our
varied survey courses and the ex-
tensive work they entail? That’s
an ugly way to look at it, One
of the faculty members present
at Wednesday’s tea commented that
the huge reading lists caused us
to learn to read selectively, In “
the same way, we aren’t REALLY
supposed to let our heads get
shredded too fast by our divergent
disciplines,
What is important is the old
annual State of the Mind message,
We freshmen have come up from
three or four years of high school,
where, most likely, our intellectual
curiosity atrophied rather
thoroughly. Coming from high
school, we needed a while to work
at getting our minds back. From ~
a standstill, getting up enough
speed to hop the train is a lot
harder than running along with
it at its own velocity. Getting
your mind back in this way is
what breeds the spirit, the en-
thusiasm, that ISN’T necessarily
directed towards anything in par-
ticular,

With Fresh Innovations
Marriott Food Service will be
back at Bryn Mawr in 1968-69,
The upcoming year constitutes the
“second part of a three-year con-

Three of Marriott’s four prin-
cipal staff members will be re-
turning--Messrs. Bokach, Dixon
and Crider, Now acquainted with
‘ this campus, these men are plan-
ning and actively working on new
programs to improve both the
service and the food.
Student waitresses will be used
again next year but closer super-
vision and waitress training peri-
ods are being instituted, Selection
of head waitresses in each hall
will be conducted by the food
service before the end of May,
In order to establish 4 more
effective communication between
the food service-and the students,
Marriott will form both waitress
and food committees in every hall,
* A program of extensive meal
exchange with Haverford is in the
formation stage,
Specialty nights, such as Ger-
man night or Italian night, are
suggested by the Marriott manag-
ers as possible innovations for the
coming years. Improvements in
food standards such as quantity,
consistency and recipe compila-
tion are planned, Also, better food
control will eliminate the problem
of insufficient quantities and avoid- .
able waste that has existed in
some of the halls this year,

Curriculum News
Besides the grading system,
other matters before the Cur-
riculum Committee include faculty
advisors, project courses and eval-
‘uation of class-cutting forms.
The Committee holds regular
open meetings on Tuesdays at.1:30-
pom. in Room G, Taylor, -Any -
interested students are encouraged
to attend and-contribute.
Once these matters are dis-
cussed by the committee and stu-
dent opinion is sounded out by dorm
representatives, the, results are
presented and discussed at joint
meetings of the student and faculty
curriculum committees, -
The topic of the joint meeting
on May 6 will be a faculty ad-
visor system. Would Bryn Mawr
students like to have individual fac-
ulty advisors? If so, how often
would students consult them and
about what matters? How would
such a program help a student get
the most out of college? What are
the problems involved?
Haverford, for example, has such
~a system and-problems include
the use of faculty time and methods
of choosing advisors, Anyone with
ideas or suggestions should con-
tact Bess Keller (Rhoads), or Anne
Rosenberg or Jean Wilcox, (Penn
West).

Students Raise $1600
For Poverty March
Bryq _Mawr- contributed $1600
in support of the Poor People’s
Campaign which will begin this
weekend in Washington,
The money came from four
areas: faculty and staff -- $532.50;
students -- $723.50; community --
$130; and China Survey -- $214,
Sponsored by the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference,
the Campaign will send 3000 rep-
resentatives to march on the na-
tion’s capital April 29 in the ini-
tial phase of peaceful attempt to
achieve legislation which will cut
at the root causes of poverty in
America,
The two main purposes of the
Campaign will be to provide jobs
by getting legislation which will
subsidize training and re-deplay-
ment of poor people and to guar-
antee adequate income for all
people under systems similar to
those already operational if Can-
ada and Europe,
Original plans for the march de-
signated Dr, Martin Luther King
Jr. as its leader, but becuase of
the Negro civil rights leader’s
untimely death, the Campaign will
have to continue under new guid-
ance,
» The organization of the Cam-
paign includes 3000 marchers rep-
resenting 10 major cities and five
states who have been trained in
non-violent methods and lobbying
techniques, The campaigners plan
to remain in Washington for about
one month trying to see their
legislation through Congress,
If after an allotted time period
the lobbying fails; the participants
are ready to use other non-violent
measures of persuasion, including
sit-ins at the offices of congress-
men and the transportation of
starving children .to. Washington
hospitals where treatment will be
demanded, The campaign is di-
rected toward bringing the plight
of the poor to light and initiating
remedial actions for it,
If, after the Aug, 1 deadline
for peaceful action, constructive
legislation has not been passed,
militant leaders, who have agreed
not to interfere with the efforts
of the Campaign, have threatened
to resort to organized violence,
Definite precautions have been
taken to try to keep all violent
actions out of the Campaign itself,
In_ addition to the Washington
marchers,~ local. groups will
pressure their Congressmen,
march in’ supporting demon-
strations, and provide financial,
legal and moral support for the
Campaige over chem pers
iod.

a liberal arts college,
Bh Mawr is interested.in ed-
ucating informed citizens who
will both act responsibly and take
responsibility for their actions.
One of the men the college:
has. hired to teach and advise
its students in past years is Dr.
Louis Frederick Fieser, Dr,
Fieser is a well known chemist,
listed in the ‘‘American Men of
Science, Eleventh Edition.’’ His
major contribution to the world
was made in 1943. He developed
a substance to improve flame-;
throwers so that they can
more effectively destroy their tar-
gets; napalm.
He taught at Bryn Mawr from
1925 to 1930. He began as an
associate in chemistry (equiva-
lent to today’s assistant pro-
fessor) according to the 1925
Finding List and was promoted
to associate professor in 1927.
He left in 1930 to go to Harvard,
where he is now a professor
emeritus, ~
In January, ‘‘Time’’ inter-
viewed Dr. Fieser, and he
made several statements about
his views on scientists’ respon-
sibilities for their activities
in the society. ‘‘Time’’ said,
‘*Fieser has no moral qualms
about his role in producing one
of modern warfare’s most fear-
ful weapons: ‘I have no right
to judge the morality of napalm ,
just because I invented it’.’’
Dr, Fieser refuses to debate the
merits. of American actions in
Vietnam on the grounds that he
does not know enough about it,
Fieser made it very clear to
‘‘Time’’ that ‘a researcher!
»-- cannot be responsible for how
other people use his weapons.’?
Napalm was first used in World
War II against Japanese bunkers
at Guadacanal and against certain
' Japanese cities, According to the
Encyclopedia Britanica, napalm
‘‘burned out 40% of the drea of
target cities’? in Japan, It was
also used in the Korean war, and
is now being used extensively in
,Vietnam,
Napalm is a_ sticky .sub-
stance that is added to gaso-
line and shot through a flame
thrower or dropped from a plane.
The napalm-gasoline mixture is
much more __ effective than
old methods of burning build-
ings and people. because it
makes the gasoline burn much
slower and hotter, and enables |
it to be aimed more accurately.
eser. has commented that
well as destroying buildings
and people, it burns crab grass.
With student cooperation and new
techniques in food service, Mar-
riott plans. to make 1968-69 at
Bryn Mawr a great consumer year,
Undergrad Adopts
New Budget
To eliminate inefficiency in its
operations, the Undergrad associ-
ation has established a new budget,
going into effect this month, which
calls for the administration to pay
all student salaries while Under-
grad covers the costs of all student
activities.
Under the old system, the ad-
ministration and Undergrad shared
the task of paying fire captains,
campus guides, hall announcers,
payday mistresses and other
campus positions. Both also con-
tributed to student activities.
Starting now, the administration
will finance all student jobs, and
Undergrad will support all activ-
ities, such as the NEWS, College
Theatre and the Big Six.
According to Doris Dewton, the
y new budget increases the effic-
iency of the payment system and
frees some Undergrad funds for
ew projects like the proposed
tudent Union,
To help realize the student cen-
ter project, Undergrad has set up
a special fund. The $200 raised
at the faculty-student party plus
a portion of student dues will aug-
ment the fund.
Exam Schedules
To Be Chosen
In Dormitories
This semester students will reg-
ister for exams in their dorms
instead of en masse in Taylor.
Exam scheduling will continue until
Monday, April 29. 3
Students will also register for
Haverford exams in their dorms
during. this period, Dorm Cur-
riculum. Committee reps will
provide the necessary materials
and will explain the scheduling pro-
cess. Although the procedure is
essentially the same as last sem-
ester, the scheduling of Haverford
exams through the BMC Cur-
riculum Committee is an in-
novation,
Classes will end May 10.
A nine day exam period will run
from May 14-May 23. Large course
exams must be scheduled for the
period from May 14 through noon
of Saturday May 18.

an increasing number of ‘‘sen-

‘‘The smaller and the better-class
schools are still,’’ he thinks, ‘‘at-

teaching profession because they
offer challenges in teaching-one’s

are lower although not substan-
tially lower than in the larger
universities,
‘‘Reaching the senior stage in
teaching we are caught in a two-

and there is, therefore, much less

becomes more and more impor-

‘Another point is that a large
university has institutes from
which a professor can receive
allowances for his own work and
facilities like adequate secfetar-
ial assistance,’’ Bachrach went_on
to say that he thinks ‘‘there is a
general malaise at the college;
it lacks vitality. It’s very hard to
put your finger on why this is so,
Pm convinced that the malaise
exists, but what gives me pause
is whether or not the malaise exists
on other campuses,’’ He closes
by saying that if this campus were
Grade System...
(Continued from page 1)
example of such a system in prac-
tice is at Yale.
Yale defines its grading catagor-
ies as follows: fail -- failing
to complete the course or meet
its. requirements; -pass -- comp=-
etent, but not distinguished
completion of the course (a respec-
table grade, suitable for many stu-
ents who perform up toexpectation
of the average); high-pass -- better
than routine but not outstanding;
and honors -- a mark of excell-
ence, of the student’s having
brought his intelligence to bear
acutely and even creatively on the
work of the course, of his having
gone beyond the requirements.
Such a system does not propose
equivalents to present numerical
or other forms of grading.
In a preliminary questionaire
sent out a few weeks ago, both
students and faculty at Bryn Mawr
expressed concern over grading,
. Student motivation and _ student-
faculty relationships. Many stu-
dents were not satisfied with thé
present system and criticisms in-
cluded the following: too artifi-
cially precise, distorts purpose of
learning, inconsistent from pro-
fessor to professor, overtones of
competition and pressure, does not
match grading at other schools
(transfer problems), etc. A large
number of students favored written
evaluations and constructive com-*
ments from professors, _

a really lively, intellectually stim-
ulating ode, he would-stay no mat-
ter what other offers he received,
In addition to these, there are
twelve other professors who are
leaving next year for their sab-
baticals: Mrs, Jeanne C, Pollock,
Social Work; James E, Snyder,
history of art; Richard B. Du-
Boff, economics; Richmond Latti-
more; Greek; Mrs; Agnes K,K,
Michels, Latin; Mrs. Jane C, Kro-

search; Morton S, Baratz, econom-
ics; Robert L, Conner, biology;
Charles Brand, history; Jay M,
Anderson, chemistry; Arain Sil-
vera, history; Miss Audrey Bar-
nett, biology.
The big problem, however, is
how to keep our professors from
accepting positions at other
schools, According to the profes-_
sors. interviewed, a raise in sal-
aries and improved facilities and
services might give them second
thoughts about leaving. The other
major factor which they stressed
as important in their decisions to
leave Bryn Mawr -was_a lack ofin-
- Spiration both from and by the stu-
dent body, The girls do not seem
intellectually stimulated and are
extremely reluctant to volunteer
opinions in class, ,As Bachrach
sees it, the only solution would be
‘ta-quick and solid merger with

To the Editor:
‘ At the Faculty Curriculum Com-
mittee’s meeting with the Student
Curriculum Committee on April 9,
the possibilities for a change in the
grading system were discussed in
view of the questionnaires sent to
students and faculty members, of
evaluations submitted by colleges
presently operating under various
pass-fail systems and opinions of
graduate schools regarding admis-
sion policy for students with pass-
fail records,.. We feel that it is
important that students know the
course of discussion which fol-
lowed,
The two students who evaluated
the questionnaires made a report
of their findings and on the basis
of this report, never submitted to
or discussed by the student com-
mittee, the discussion was con-
ducted, During the discussion,
figures were at times disregarded
ur misrepresented so that one
girl’s ideas. about a possible work-
able compromise were made to
seem the recommendations of the
onttte Student body, Since this was
a
prevailing student opinion, there
was no need to present this ori-
ginal, undiscussed idea AS A
FINAL PROPOSAL FROM THE
STUDENT BODY to a faculty which
was still interested in the wider
range of ideas set forth in the
student questionnaires, To support
their own solution, the two girls
prostituted the statistics which
had been gathered,
Both committees feel that afur-
ther poll of student opinion is nec-
essary before a decision can be
made, Therefore students must
remember the broader implica-
tions of a change in the grading
system, A change should not be
effected simply for the sake of
change, Given the central role of
academics at Bryn Mawr, any
change in theacademic system will
have broad ramifications for all
sectors of student life, It is in
terms of these effects that any
change in the grading system
MUST be considered,

“| have known people to stop and buy an apple on the
UPI
corner and then walk away as if they had solved the whole
unemployment problem.’’-Heywood Broun
But apples were not jobs.
A system of insurance against
unemployment was required.
~~ §o, just thirty years ago,
unemployment insurance started
in this country.
Unemployment insurance—which we
accept as routine today—marked the
start of a far-flung system of social
security that helped bring recovery to
the nation. :
For millions of jobless men and
bh-
women—many forced to sell apples to
earn a few pennies—unemployment
insurance provided a welcome ray
of hope.
The 450,000 members of the
International Ladies’ Garment Workers’
Union today are dedicated to work for
decent wages, improved working
conditions and greater social security for
ourselves, our families and the people
of our communities.
Our signature is the union label,
sewn into women’s and children’s
apparel. It is a symbol of progess made
and more to come.
Look for it when you shop.
If you’d like some interesting (and
brief) reading plus many fascinating
historic pictures, send for our 64 page

450,000.”

Rule Changes .
dergraduates and Self-Gov of-
ficials seems to be that there will
be a clear mandate to lift both
regulations when a re-vote is held,
Intimately concerned with the
drinking rule on campus are the
hall wardens, whose duty it is to
keep all liquor, The NEWS took
a survey of the wardens’ opinions
on the drinking issue:
Five of the eight wardens are
in favor of retention of the cur-
rent rule, Mary Sturgeon of Mer-
ion and Anne K, Turley of Rhoads
expressed the general feeling that
free drinking would lead to chaos,
and that liquor is hard to control,
All raised the point that drink-
_ing- would_ not: be restricted to the-
twenty-one-year-olds in the
dorms, As Pembroke West’s Bar-
bara Parsons put it, ‘‘Why put
an unnecessary strain on room-
mates and friends who happened
not to have been born in the same
year?’ There was a skepticism
expressed about the honor sys-
tem: many felt that the system
has enough problems without this
one, And, as Katherine Erikson
of Erdman pointed out, some stu-
dents will break any rule, but
others will obey a college but not
a state regulation,
Pembroke East’s Jeanne Young
and Pémbroke West’s Barbara
Parsons both raised the larger
oe % (Continued from page 1)
issue of whether liquor per se,
disregarding the Pennsylvania law,
is consistent with a college com-
munity. Miss Young feels that
diving is too close in a dorm sit-
uation to permit drinking, whichis
bound to annoy some people, Miss
Parsons feels that. Bryn Mawr
should take advantage of its sit-
uation as a college community to
free itself of strains inevitable
in the outside world, one of which
is liquor,
Two wardens, Wendy Moldovan
of Radnor, and Mary Kobrak of
Rockefeller, were in favor of the
plan to have drinking restricted to
certain areas, Both feel that there
would — be. —less-temptation— for
minors. to drink, and that twenty
. one-year olds deserve a place to
which they may take dates to drink,
Janet Brown of Denbigh was
the only warden in favor of un-
qualified repeal of the rule, She
realizes the age difficulty, and
the possible rise in infractions of
the drinking rule, but sees this
as a challenge to Bryn Mawr’s
honor system, ‘‘Either you scrap
the whole honor. system, or you
strive to uphold it completely,
The matter would be out of the
wardens’ hands, It would be up
to Self Gov, particularly the hall
presidents, to control liquor, It’s
not impossible,”?
Trudeau Victory Indicates
Great Canadian Awakening
The author of this article, a
Canadian, feels that in this
year of Canada’s growing self. .
awareness American students
should be interested in their
neighboring country’s politics.
Contrary to popular belief
Canada is not only the home of
Quinn the Eskimo, quaint French. :

that lurk behind the customs mar
immigration buildings. This may
have been true until recently, but
the centennial celebrations of last
year, particularly Expo 67, have
proved that Canada does have its
own identity, and that Canadians
are something else besides non-
Britons and non-Americans. That
Canadians themselves were the
last to realize this is anindication
of how little national self-con-
fidence we have had up tonow. At
the beginning of her second cen-
tury, Canada is undergoing a much-
needed revitalization; she has
begun by electing Pierre Elliott
Trudeau leader of the National
Liberal Party.
Trudeau has been a. Liberal-
with a capital ‘‘1?’- for less than
30 months, a senior cabinet min-
ister (with the portfolio of justice)
for only 10, and a candidate for the
Liberal Party leadership for three.
His parliamentary experience is
thus. limited; otherwise, his whole
life has beena preparation for Can-
adian politics. His father was
French; his mother Scottish, sohe
represents the two founding-races
of Canada both in ancestry and in
his fluent bilingualism. (No other
contemporary Canadian politician
has this advantage.) Trudeau stud-
ied@law, economics, and political
science first in Montreal, then at
Harvard and in Paris and London,
Thus he is highly trained in the
art of political observation. After
his return to Canada, he and others
worked to bring the province of

Trudeau is the person who will
change this. While he is strongfor
national unity, - and the most likely
to secure it - he sees the necessity
of going beyond the limits of
nationalism. He has a compre-
hensive world outlook; at the Lead-
ership Convention, he was one of
the only two candidates who men-
tioned the assassination of Dr.
Martin Luther King and its impli-
cations. He is especially corti-

instead,
Earlier this year, however, sev-
eral SDS members discovered that
the Science Center was not com-
pletely free of classified Defense
Department research, Their find-
ings were published in a ZIG-
ZAG last week (a few extra copies
are available from Kit Bakke or
Kathy Murphey in Merion), Brief-
ly, it is known that Howard Jenk-
ins, a professor emeritus. of en-
gineering at Swarthmore, has a
classified contract with the Air
Force which is housed at the Sci-
ence Center, and which he ad-
mits is related to the war in Vi-
etnam. In fact, he spends much
of his time in Washington and
Saigon in connection with his
contract,
Bryn Mawr and Haverford each
have contributed $10,000 to the
Science Center, and each school
sits on its Board of Directors,
SDS, however, is concerned that
the policy decisions of the Science
Center are not made by the entire
Board of Directors, but elsewhere,
for instance in the Executive Com-
mittee, where the two colleges
have no continuous control over
what: is-being decided, =~) ~*~
SDS urges everyone to attend
the meeting Tuesday afternoon to
learn enough about the Science
Center to determine whether or
not its activities are compatible
with the colleges’ general pur-
poses, SDS does not think they
are compatible, and has present-
ed this position in the ZIG-ZAG
and in petitions it is circulating,
These call for the colleges to con-
‘vince the Science Center to issue
a statement that it will no longer
handle classified Defense Depart-
ment research or development;
and if the Science Center does
not do this, then SDS argues that
the two schools should publicly
withdraw from the Center,

Polish Characterizes
Modern dance appeals to a very
specialized taste, but it waseasy to
see that in their spring concert the
Bryn Mawr and Haverford Dance
Clubs distinguished themselves
as among the very best of the
campus fine arts groups. All
choreography was by Director
Paula Mason and members of the
clubs and showed amazing polish in
both conception and execution.
Styles franged from jazzy, as in
‘*Spookie’”’?, choreographed by
Grethe Holby, tointerpretive, asin
‘«The Sorceress,’? based on a poem
and choreographed by Carolyn
Monka. Dance no longer aims at
story telling, finding freer, fresher
ground in evocation of emotion, and
the gamut of kinetic emotion was
perhaps best exhibited in ‘‘Cat-
‘apult,”? by Mrs. Mason, in which the
dancers moved with complete ab-
straction, suggestive of the com-
positions of Soulanges. ‘‘Etude de
VEau,”? by Carolyn, was marvel-
ously effective in its simulation of
motion under water, The senses
were completely caught up in the
effect, as dancers moved in si-
lence, under blue light that made
their flesh seem not-quite-flesh,
and each person seemed bouyed up,
barely keeping a footing on the.
stage.
‘‘But Now Mine Eyes Have Seen
Culinary Quip
From all the varieties of Uk-
rainian, Moscow, Polish, and Naval
borshch, Mrs. Helen Segall of the
Russian Department has chosen
her favorite borshch recipe, Start
with:
2 shin bones with meat on them
(2 lbs.)
1 cup white beans (soaked at least
one hour in 3 cups boiling water
and strained)
3-1/2 quarts cold water
4 medium-sized red beet roots
(peeled and quartered)
2-3 celery sticks and 2-3 carrots
(cut into 2??x1/2’? pieces) ‘
3large onions (peeled and cut into)
1 small head of white cabbage.
shredded and lightly salted
6 t salt
2 large bay leaves
2 cloves
30 peppercorns
1/4 t dill seeds
1 small can (6 oz) tomato paste
juice of 1 lemon (optional)
Place meat, beans, celery, car-
rots, onions, beets, and Spices, all
tied in cheesecloth or gauze, into
a large pot with the water. Bring
to a boil, reduce heat, cover tightly,
and let simmer for two hours.
Then remove and reserve meat and
beets, discard bones, onions and
spices, and leave the vegetables
in. Add the cabbage, cover and
simmer another 20 minutes. Add
1 cup of grated cooked beetroots
and tomato paste and bring to a
boil.: Add salt and pepper to taste
and lemon juice, if desired; Cool
and refrigerate until fat solidifies,
Skim the fat, reheat, and serve
with a side dish of sour cream
and chopped dill.

Thee” by Liz Schneider, based on
the Book of Job, was remarkable
for the exceptional grace, both
static and in motion, of Amy.Dick-
inson as Job’s Wife. Amy is a
study in perfectly controlled dy-
namics, She was equally effective
in the ‘*Lament’’ section of Mrs.
Mason’s long ‘‘Sojourn,”? and here
was supported by lighting so
skillful that it seemed a palpable
part. of the mise en scene.
The opening section of ‘‘So-
journ”, called ‘‘The Enchanted’’,
featured an elegant pas de deux by
Patchie Poindexter and Christo-
pher Colvin. The following ‘‘Ren-
aissance’’ section was saved from
its rather conventional depiction of
children-at-play -by original stag-
ing that included revolving piano
stools. ‘*The Puppeteer’? was im-
provised so successfully thatit was
impossible to tell whether dance
followed music or vice versa, and
notable in this part was Jean Van
Beveran as a newly-freed puppet
.gingerly trying out her powers of
movement. ‘‘*Poetic Transcend-
ence” included awonderful section ‘
of tandem motion by two couples,
one of the places where the
grace of the male dancers was most
apparent. It is apleasure to be re-
minded of how fluid men can be
without sacrificing virility~ of
movement. Ted Winfield and Mike
Miller were outstanding in ‘‘Now .
Mine Eyes’’, as were Larry Tay-
lor and Mike Aucott in ‘‘Etude de
I’Eau’’,
After the second intermission,
the best number was ‘‘The Wall’’,
by Leslie Comassar and Patchie
Poindexter, and danced by them
with Frank Patton, ‘‘Shadow Play”?
presented interesting groupings
and might have been done even
better in silhouette. It was grat-
ifying to hear how well Bach was
adapted to modern dance in com-
pany, as he was, of Ravel, Pro-
kofiev, and Paul McCartney. In
*‘Custard Puff”, Barbara Archer,
Sherry Burkley, and Patsy Smith
exploited the humor in jazz dan-
cing. Their stylizations, as well
as those of ‘‘Spookie’’, were ef-
“fective because mature dancers
understand them. Children do
not. The Haverford Children’s
Dance Group were appealing and
step-perfect, but should have been
given other material by Director
Liz Schneider, —~
The most serjous critcism~ of
the program concerns its length.
No number should have been om-
itted: they were all too good. The
clubs would be wiser to give two
yearly shows, Even the commen-
dable variety of this program coul:
not alleviate its bulk. 3
This concert was rich inorigin-
ality in integration of music, move-
ment, costume and lighting. This is
one of the purest examples of syn-
thesis of the arts. It wasalsoa
tribute to its raw material: the end-
less possibilities of style and
beauty of the human body.
