Bogie to Initiate
Semester Flicks
For Film Series

This year’s film _ series,
sponsored by the Bryn Mawr Arts
Council, covers a wide variety of
movies, ranging from silent Chap-
lins to noisy Brandos,

The series’ first feature isKEY
LARGO, October 11, a Bogie which
was shown at Haverford last year
and received with such tremen-
dous enthusiasm that it is being
revived in this year’s program at
Bryn Mawr. Next in the series
on October 18 are a collection
of Chaplin shorts, which will pro-
bably be just as classic as Chaplins

always are.

The program includes an old-
time Danny Kaye comedy, THE

RAISIN IN THE SUN, on October
25. This film, starring Sidney
Poitiet and Ruby Dee, focuses on
the problems of a Negro family
in Chicago’s South Side.

For those motorcycle cn-
thusiasts, of whom there seem to
be more every day on the Bryn
Mawr campus, there is a vintage
1954 Brando film. This flick, en-
titled THE WILD ONE, is about
a bunch of wild ones who ter-
rorize the countryside, and will
be shown December 6,

SAC Elects Head
And Makes Plans

For Coming Year

The Bryn Mawr Social Action
Committee began the year with an
organizational meeting last week,
A chairman, Kathy Murphey, ’69,
and a treasurer, Kathy Coleman,
768, were elected,

In spite of the late. start, the
members at the meeting seemed
enthusiastic about initiating
several programs right away.

The concerns of the Social Action
Committee differ from year to
year as the students’ interests
vary, and as issues change inside
and outside the college. But the
purpose of the committee in general
has been to increase student aware-
ness of political and _ social
problems, and the trends they rep-
resent,

These problems may exist at
Bryn Mawr, in the community
around it, at universities and col-
leges in general, and in the larger
context of the nation and the world;
Awareness is accomplished by
learning and talking about issues
such as apartheid or the draft,
It is also increased by direct
student action in areas where
problems are being expressed,

Direct involvement in opposing
the Vietnam war or in raising
money for the civil rights move-
ment can at the same time arouse
public interest and perhaps con-
tribute a little to changing con-
ditions, The eight-day fast held
last year at Bryn Mawr, Haverford,
and Swarthmore was an opportunity
for both close examination of the
war and forming of opinions on
campus, and for publicity outside
the schools that participated, .

SAC hopes to-provide education
and discussion on current issues
this year in one way by setting up
a seminar program with the Hav-
erford committee. The seminars
would be informal, held in dorms
or possibly in faculty homes, Fac-
ulty members, students and out-
side speakers would be there to
lead discussions. Films and tapes
could also be used as: resource
material.

Jr. Show Cast Begins
‘Up in the Air’ Practice

‘tp in the. Air or Down to
Earth,’? a science fiction comedy
by Wendy Fein, Janet Kole and
Marcia Ringel, is this year’s of-
fering by the Junior Class. In-

‘volved in an age-old feud over a
\ star are the inhabitants of the

planets of Gedolya and Marmelini.

An enterprising Gedolyan named
Freem, played by Judy Masur, goes
down to Earth to Godfrey Hark-
ness’ (Cindy Ayers) laboratory
where Godfrey is working on the
cure for the common cold. Freem
comes up with the cure which in-
cidentally produces some un-
expected celestial surprises which
are left to be solved in act two.

The laboratory is frequented by
Godfrey’s co-workers Roger (Beth
Chadwick) and Margaret (Sue



Nosco) who have a personal feud
over the qualities of a good scient-
ist. Margaret argues for the cozy
approach, while Roger prefers to
remain aloof. Dr. Nobody (Ruth
Gais), Peturfia (Jean Farney), Al-
fred, Lord Tennyson (Robin John-
son), Sandy Zanzibar (Dana Rosen),
Harlow Lampshade (Joan Baizer),
Dr. Witch (Janet Kole) and Mrs,
Fletcher (Myra Skluth) add their

views as does Hernando McGrath

(Margie Westerman), the labora-
tory’s beatnik poet.

With the help of Dr. Godfrey
Harkness and some ad men the
reconciliation of the two planets
of Gedolya and Marmelini is
brow ‘ht about. There is a cele-
bration among the two planets’
inhabitants, played by Peggy
Thomas, Karan Judd, Ruth Gais,
Pam '3lanford, Amy Dickenson,
Mary nn Beverly, Andra Oakes
and Jeanne Harvey,

The cast also includes Sue

Health Education and Farewell

It’s hygiene lecture-time again, and we extend deepest sympathy to
freshmen and procrastinating upperclassmen,

Hygiene lectures are a Bryn Mawr ritual, often with the same con-
notation as May Day)but hardly as enjoyable, By the end of the junior
year, students must, pass an examination based on a series of lectures
which generally prove cumbersome for the unhygiefiic population,

The happiest solution would be to tape record the lectures and play
them back during relaxation sessions, then offer the exam,’This system
would insure the appropriate minimum of effort, seeing as the college
is not likely to do away with the requirement altogether,

More practically speaking, since a certain amount of reading has
been added recently to the program anyway, why not make the whole
of hygiene education a matter of reading assignments? Students would
be certain to do their own work, rather than merely copying someone.
else’s lecture notes, and further, a standard pamphlet might be pre-
pared for yearly use, This pamphlet could be sent out for study before
the freshman year, so that incoming classes would have the opportunity
to pass the exam as early as Freshman Week, Or, students should be
assigned reading over a period of weeks, and one summary lecture
be required thereafter,

If the hygiene education system is not revised somehow next year,
the COLLEGE NEWS submits a proposal: if the student body agrees
NOT to attend the lectures, the NEWS will send one reporter and print
the notes in full each week,

Veritatem Dilexi?

Next week the Educational Goals Committee will open its exploratory
program on ‘‘The Meaning of Education at Bryn Mawr.” The slate of
speakers eloquently proclaims faculty and administration interest.
Students, however, must hold up their discussion and give the seminar
a chance for maximum success.

Education is obviously the prime concern of all college community
members, and the student perspective is fundamental for a thorough
analysis. Campus concern should be as abundant as it is necessary
for the project. For freshmen, the program begins at an apt time.
With their first weeks of classes behind them, new students are in the
process of formulating their own opinions about college existence.
For older students, these sessions provide an easy outlet for the views
nurtured by BMC careers and usually reserved for a limited audienge,

The series program, full as it sounds on paper, must remain a
skeleton until general participation investigates the topics introduced

_ by the speakers, Just as the process of education demands student in-
volvement, an effectively analytic project must receive thoughtful
response to achieve valuable results.

It would be an ironic commentary on a Bryn Mawr education if an
exciting forum failed to spark the campus interest vital to its goals.
We encourage your attendance. ;

Breakthrough

Although we receive most of our. college education within the°con-
fines of the Bryn Mawr campus, the community outside is becoming
more and more available for our researches. We are finding that our
work with the faculty can be supplemented, and hence our sphere of
knowledge enlarged, by contacts with people and institutions not
related to the.college.

An excellent example of this tendency is the art appreciation course
at the Barnes Foundation (see page four). The chance to see the Barnes
collection, let alone take its class in art and aesthetics, is well worth
the amount of initiative it takes to ride the local to Merion Station.
That it is not even a credit course speaks well for those who are
taking it to supplement their education for the sake of education.

Also commendable is the use of community sources as classroom
illustrations, A former Bryn Mawr sociology teacher, for example,
encouraged this kind of outside contact. He wanted his sociology
students to see what was going on in settlement houses and in homes
for delinquent teenagers instead of just hearing and reading about
them. So he took his classes to these places and gave them a first-
hand experience unattainable within the classroom. .

“And there are cases of the outside coming in. The Master Classes

ae taught by visiting Haverford Arts Series guests such. as the Moscow

Chamber Orchestra will give music students a different and aaa

exposure to their field.
These few examples merely illustrate the kinds of possibilities,
and any movements in these directions are certainly to be applauded

Letters to the Editor

Folk Dancing

To the Editor:

The Athletic Association hopes
that the NEWS can help publicize
its efforts to start a folk dance‘
group. Previous attempts have fail-
ed because folk dance enthusiasts
were unable to locate each other.

The proposed group will dance
one evening a week, perhaps Fri-
day before the Haverford movies,
Both BMC and Haverford students
are welcome, The. group’s pur-
poses will be social as well as
recreational,

Beginners are invited to join.
Experienced dancefs willing to
teach several dances should con-
tact me in Erdman, Hopefully, our
combined talents can sustain a
group.

“Realgirls’ :

To the Editor:

The ‘‘Philadelphia Inquirer’’ and
the Main Line merchants may not
approve of‘ our looks, but someone
else does, Ellen Kaye, from WOM-
EN’S WEAR DAILY, describes
Bryn Mawrters in the September
23 issue as ‘‘Leggy American
Realgirls”? ... who ‘‘look Real-
right ... all American but without
the Go-Go,” Bryn Mawr is
summed up by Miss Kaye as ‘‘that
very sedate women’s college deep
in Philadelphia’s Main Line,’’

Help!

Clarification

(The following was received by
Lola Atwood, President of the

Athletic Association, and is here’

reprinted in part, -- Ed,)
Dear Lola,

Perhaps you could arrange to
have a correction in the nextissue
of the COLLEGE NEWS on the
hockey article that has appeared
in the recent issue: 1, Miss Yea-
ger is in charge of hockey and
-Miss Plowman merely came in at
Miss Yeager’s request, to offer
some of her: experience to the
hockey group, 2, I believe the
statement attributed to Miss Plow-
man that emphysema could be
cured is a serious error. We
would all like this corrected, It
was merely a case of emphysema
where the individual underwent
training and seemingly had im-
proved a great deal,
: Irene A, Clayton,

Director of Physical Education

Sleighton Farms

To the Editor:

The door of the cottage was un-
locked and several cheerful teen-
age girls greeted us and took our
coats, A Swarthmore boy, who
was the cottage leader, escorted us
downstairs where games were in
progress, Despite the cheerful
faces, I was a bit ill-at-ease
and expected resentment, But im-
mediately a group of girls sur-
rounded me, asking my name and
drawing me into the game,

My new friends became my per-
sonal escorts upstairs when we
divided into’ groups to teach lan-
guages, folk-dancing, guitar-play-
ing, and knitting, I was in charge
of the last, but spent most of my
time answering eager questions
about dorm life, my major, and
my home town, Before I had even
BEGUN “Ne learn names, answer
questions OR teach knitting, itwas
time to go. Iwas made to promise
to come back, but that was really
unnecessary since I was already
eager to return,

Thus I was introduced to the
world of ‘‘delinquent’’ girls
through the Sleighton Farms pro- i
ject sponsored by League, In this

project, Bryn Mawr and Swarth-
more students serve as a link
to the outside world for the girls,
We help to remind them that they
are important individuals behind
the label thrust upon them, and
(by our presence) we help teach
them simple ways to behave in
society. Each small group of us
is assigned to a specific cottage
where we conduct activities as
varied as ‘‘drama nights’? and tut-
orial sessions,

Always there are awkward mo-
ments when the girls talk about
their home life or their problems,
But always, too, we are rewarded
by little things--like the refresh-
ments we know were carefully
prepared for us,

This year we plan to expand
the project by including Haver-
ford students as volunteers and by
bringing the girls out to events on
campus, A picnic at Swarthmore
last year was just a beginning
to the possible off-school trips.

The group goes every other
week,.and volunteers havea choice
of one of two days of the week
they wish to go, If you would
like to join us, please contact

Campus-Wide Referendum
Planned on Constitution

Students will elect a special
committee to supervise the work
of altering the Self-Gov consti-
tution during this Constitutional
Revision Year,

An autonomous body, the Con-
stitutional Revision Committee
will contain two representatives
from each dormitory. These
members will be chosen at elec-
tions conducted by hall presidents
within the next two weeks,

Both Self-Gov and the campus

Bevinda Nordnha

Undergrad Scholar

Bevinda Nordnha of Mombasa,
Kenya has been chosen this year’s
Undergrad Scholar. She is one of
three new African students on cam-
pus, Bevinda originally had planned
to enter a British university and
had taken two years of post-high
school study in order to prepare
for it. But then she heard about
Bryn Mawr and decided to come
here instead.

As a result of her extra study,
she has entered as a sophomore.
She is planning to study English,

at large will submit all sugges-
tions for revision to the commit-
tee for consideration, The com-
mittee will then attempt to
formulate all prospective reforms
into a yes-no ballot form.

These issues will be voted upon
in a campus-wide referendum, Any
questions too complex for a yes-
no vote will be presented to Legis-
lature for additional analysis,

The COLLEGE NEWS will pre-
sent a series of articles by Execu-
tive Board members, not to pre-
sent proposals, but to discuss the
background of the present consti-
tution, the reasons behind the rules
set forth in it, the issues that led
up to their formulation, and ‘‘re-
current’? issues (the honor sys-
tem, etc.),

Before the Revision Committee
begins its main work, Self-Gov
will post in the dorms lists of
clarifications of terms used in the
constitution with full explanations,
These terms can be put to an all-
campus vote for revision, if a
petition signed by 10% of the stu-
dent body is submitted, Self-Gov
hopes to get all revision done by
Christmas, so that the new con-
stitution is ready by ssssanied 1967.



‘What ABOUT Calamity Jane?’
Asks Hygiene Lecture Audience

by Emily McDermott

C. V. Wedgewood, as Mr. Berthoff recently re-
lated, had an interesting theory of education: although
he censored his sons’ reading (because, as he said,
boys’ minds are open to corruptive suggestion),
he let his daughters read anything at all, on the theory
that girls need all the help they can get in this
world, It is seemingly on this principle that Bryn
Mawr (duly concerned with our health, education,
and welfare) yearly hustles us off to the wildly
raunchy hygiene lectures.

This year, this series of ‘‘lecture-discussions”’
includes two lectures on mental health and two on
sex hygiene (apparently catering to the college
community) and, finally, one of ‘‘pressing health
problems,” The first of the series -- a lecture on
‘¢Personality Development’? given by Dr. Margaret
Temeles -- offers little hope that (for once) the
hygiene lectures will live up to the Wedgewoodian
objective.

To give Dr. Temeles her due, it. would be next
to. impossible to give. .a good lecture on, the topic
‘at hand, The information dealt with is so basic
that a listener would be lucky to pick up one piece
of new information, however useless. The deal with
a child’s progress through oral, anal, and phallic
(‘*that’s P-H-a...’’) stages is something less than
stimulating, especially when the audience listens

spgetty Ona ‘ * oy ~

with scarcely-concealed condescension. But then,
who can blame them when they have to sit through
such inane assertions as: ‘‘Somehow, sometime, a
little girl becomes aware that somebody has some-
thing that she hasn’t??’

The inanity of the lecture was relieved only by the
annoyance occasioned by outdated psychological
theories, misconstruction of the Oedipus myth, and
aimless (and worthless) speculations on the alter-
nate roles of heredity and environment, The one
or two statements which promised to be interesting
were left dangling. For instance, the totally
irrelevant (and evidently rhetorical) question: ‘‘And
what ABOUT Calamity Jane?’ was left unanswered--
much to the audience’s dismay. And what exactly IS
a Jiminy Cricket complex?

All in all, the prospect of sitting through four
more lectures on a par with the first one boggles
the mind. Yet the alternative (or is it additional?)
reading~list bodes no better. Does anyone really

expect us to read books with titles like “What: a a
“Means to Grow Up,” ‘The Happy Family,” and —

‘*youth Looks at Cancer?’

And so, one last word to the hygiene people:
In the room the women come and go =
Talking of phacts of libido...

HURRY UP, PLEASE, IT’S TIME.

the transportation and living costs,

The site is called Murlo, an
Etruscan and Roman town form-
erly thought to date from 800-50
B.C. But according to this sum-
mer’s excavation, the site dates
from the first half of the sixth
century B.C. and no later.

The archaeologists partially ex-
cavated a large public building,
probably a temple. Among the dis-
coveries were also frieze plaques
and terra cotta figures (acroteria)
--that is, parts of the whole decor-
ative scheme for the temple.

The purpose of the expedition
was to gain access to an archaic
town rather than a tomb site. It
was especially successful in that
it will provide much more material
for studies of ancient town and
house plans, and also plastic arts,
such as terra cotta and pottery.
Said Mr. Phillips in reference to
the finds of the summer, ‘‘There
is nothing quite this early in the
Florence Museum,”’

Members of the expedition crew
were unable to take any of the
material they dug up out of Italy
due to certain Italian laws. The
group consisted of Mr. and Mrs.
Phillip’; a Bryn Mawr graduate
student, Sevin Bulug; Tim Gantz,
a Haverford student who had been
at the Intercollegiate Center in
Rome; a Swarthmore student and
two University of Pennsylvania
graduate students.

There was no physical work for
the students during the three-
month period; they were largely
responsible for recording infor-
mation, Gantz, for example, was
in charge of photography, draw-
ings, and cataloging the trenches.

The possibility for ~under-
graduate students to join the ex-
pedition next summer depends on
the recommendation . of Mr.

Phillips, who extends the offer
(taken up by several Bryn Mawrters
and members of the administration
‘this summer); ‘‘Any Bryn Mawr
person near Siena is invited to
visit the site.’’

one will take place Sunday
afternoon, October 9, in the Merion
showcase, and will deal with the
subject of ‘‘New Directions in the
Negro Revolution.’? The committee
would appreciate suggestions for
topics and speakers for later sem-
inars, :

Along with the seminar program,
educational material will be made
available. Within the next few days
a reserve shelf*should be set up
in the library, right outside the
reserve room, with literature on
many subjects, including informa-
tior on summer jobs involving
social action. Books and pamphlets
will be sold under the SAC bul-
letin board in Taylor, and pos-
sibly distributed through the
dorms.

As far as direct social action
goes, SAC may be able to arrange
some sort of discussion group with
kids from a Negro area in Phila-
delphia or in Ardmore. Families
may be drawn in for ‘‘talk-ins.’?
The program of girls pledging
25 cents a week to the Newark
Community Project, run Under Stu-
dents for Democratic Society, will
probably be continued this year,
It may be possible to arrange
weekend visits to the project to
observe community organization
methods and to talk with members,
if anyone is interested. Of course
there will ‘be demonstrations and
rallies in the area during the
year, The Committee for .Non-
Violent Action in Philadelphia has
a draft resistance day scheduled
for October 15, Fund raising drives

Barnes Foundation Art Course
Aims for Aesthetic Appreciation

by Cookie Poplin

At a Curriculum Committee
meeting ‘last year, mention was
made of a problem that has’
bothered a number of Bryn Mawr
students--unless one is sufficient-
ly inspired artistically to come
and create independently at Mr.
Janschka’s open studio, the only
way for a girl to study art here
is through the courses given by

the History of Art Department,

While these courses are excel-
lent, they are geared primarily
for future art historians and less
for the simply curious who are
looking for some direction in their
enjoyment of art,

Last year two juniors found one
alternative at the Barnes Foun-
dation in Merion--they took a
course. there called ‘*Philo-
sophy and Appreciation of
Art?’ and found it so worthwhile
that they interested two more girls

-in the first year course and have

themselves gone on to the-second
level,

The Barnes’ Foundation, a
museum on Latches Lane within
walking distance of Merion station,
is widely known for its Impres-
sionist collection; it is -said
that because people laughed at the
millionaire who founded it, he in
return would allow in only the
first 100 people who came to visit
on Friday and Saturday--everyone
else had to make = appointments.

The museum has also developed
a school designed to introduce

Haverford, BMC
Plan Discussions
On ‘What's News’

The journalism workshop spon-
sored by the Haverford News and
the COLLEGE NEWS will take
place at 1:00 p.m, Saturday in the
Common Room at Haverford,

Mr. Charles Preston, of the
Pennsylvania Gazette and Daily
in York, Pa., and formerly of the
Indianapolis Times, will deliver
a talk entitled ‘‘What’s News?’

Following his lecture mem-
bers of the two newspaper staffs
will participate in workshop ses-
sions to analyze their three
issues published so far this year,

its students to a new approach to
art which can be readily adapted
to any other form of creative ex-
pression--they call it ‘‘the objec-
tive method.’’ The first year
course, ‘‘Philosophy and Appreci-
ation . of Art,?? .deals .-with
the question, ‘‘What is art?’
According to the girls, it concerns
to some extent what art is not; the
essence of a painting lies not in
the fact that it reminds one of a
pleasant experience or sheds light
on the artist’s biography, but
rather that it is an attempt by the
artist to communicate to the
viewer his own unique conception
of the subject, A work of art is
evaluated in the course only in
terms of its success in achieving
what the artist wishes to express.
Artisitic traditions are of course
important but only insofar as one
can see how an artist changes or
adds to them for his own purposes,
The second course, in fact, deals
with these traditions more system-
atically, In both courses teachers
vigorously oppose the ‘‘myth’’ that
art can be ‘‘*beyond’? anyone, that
it is too esoteric for the layman,
The first year course is organized
around lectures on subjects like
‘cunity and variety” or ‘‘relation-
ships’? but even. as it is not
a course in art history neither
is it a course in classic art
techniques as propounded by some
art schools. Artists in the group
are encouraged to disregard aca-
demic rules if this will bring
about a fuller, clearer expression
of their ideas. The two-year
sequence thus seems to be a course
in art appreciation, in the broadest
sense of the term.

_ Apparently one of the most sur-
prising features. of the course
is the composition of the class,
Despite the fact that thefirst year
class meet from 1:30 to about 5
Tuesday afternoon, 100 people at-
tend regularly. Most of these
people are adults, men as well
as women. There are also art
students and local artists, only as
yet a handful of college students.
The second year class is broken
into three divisions of about 30
students each who meet on Monday,
