May Day Queen Trapnell Sgrqh E. Masterson Wins Brooke Hall
And Shippen For Top Awards Honors

. Offers Ipso Facto Action:

May Day Speech.
by Cathy Trapnell
President, Class of 1963

Since I have been besieged by in-
quiries. regarding this my maiden
screech, I mean my May Day speech,
I have decided to hold a comp con-
ference, [mean a. press: conference.
(It’s been a long hard night),

As we all-know, the United States

of Bryn Mawr are famous for their
democratic self-government. Power
is totally diffused -on our campus
through the ipso facto system. Since
everyone i8 ipso facto “active in all
governmental decisions, no one in
facto has to acto. This is why, ac-
cording to our local analysts, Bach-
~Yrach and .Baratz, Ltd. almost no ac-
tion is possible. I have, however,
encountered several areas in which
executive action is called for.
-- Now about this business about the
alleged empty holes in the dean’s
office. I’ll say this about. that. Does
this bespeak a holier-than-thou at-
titude?

As regards’ those parents who
starved on parent’s day, I say that
about this. Ask not what Bryn
Mawr, can feed you, but what you
can feed Bryn. Mawr.

Regarding our ten o’clock prowl-
ers, my suggestion is that the lib-
rary not be opened until after their

- , bedtime:

: ‘Sparkling’ Dancers

Present Last Show .

Of Active Season

by Richmond and .Alice Lattimore

In its annual dance concert Mon-
day night, the Bryn Mawr Dance
Club. gave a varied,. original, en-
gaging program. A: succession “of
short pieces led up to “New York
SuiteI”,. with . choreography. by
Ann Carter Magon and music by
Rogér Mason. Wé@ found this quite
brilliant; 4. ¢-4 Sea

The bold new music and the
motions of more than a dozen
dancers went beautifully together.
A few scenes in a'day of New
York (Village) life were enclosed
between the morning tides, waves
“of girls crashing: and crossing, and
the swirling: night tides. In ‘be-
tween came a’ glimpse of street
. scene, highlighted by the pink girls
of Washington Square (Pamela
Mulac and Teresa. Santini), and a
longer scene of kidsvat play, some-
times teasing a little girl] who\was
an outsider (Elena Mestre) but
who found a friend in what, .per-

_ haps, was the little-boy-with-most-_

character (Toby Williams), and fi-
nally ,.a sympathetic .grown-up
(Leslie Hartley). The suite made
a fanciful. but. convincing whole
which we’d gladly see again, and

it did. much credit to the whole.

Controversy Stems from the Non-Communist Clause

The recent changes. in the pro-
visions of the National Defense’ Ed-

elsewhere.

Now. Congress -has removed the
disclaimer and substituted a clause
forbidding members of Communist
organizations to apply. for NDEA
funds.

In an+ NSA-sponsored discussion
last Thursday, the controversial and

‘often. confusing nature of the new
NDEA regulations was reyealed and.

the issues clarified.

Miss McBride offered three alter-
natives that the college, faced with
the. decision of whether or not to
continue the-NDEA program, could
consider. The first. is to apply -for
the program ond accept the disclaim-
er, which Bryn Mawr considers defin-

itely “unsatisfactory.” The second is -

to apply and protest; the . third,

not to.apply for the program and

possibly penalize students who could
have received and put to good use

- NDEA funds.

decided what its plan of action will
be, Miss McBride cited some disad-
vantages of the new provision: for
example, that. it could become a
restriction on the student’s freedom,
and that, its vagueness made it
dangerous what exactly is a
“Communist” organization?
T. Robert Broughton, Profes-
sor of Latin, expressed—one « wide-
ly-held=yiew when he stated that
the - responsibility--of-—-applying for
funds rests with the individual stu-
dent. If Bryn Mawr did not parti-
cipate in the program, he feels, it
would be denying the student the
right to make his own decision on
the matter. The chance of improv-
ing the program~by. staying out of
it would be slight, he concluded.
. Donald Brown, Associate Profes-

-or of Psychology,. agreed with Mr.
Broughton in “everything but_ his.

conclusion.” A college can not, he be-
lieves, requires of its students a
political test and remain consistent

‘with its principles. Such an action

would be’ discriminatory.-—-—--~+--—-—
“The test,” said. Mr. Brown, “is
whether the. college would accept

~ funds on the same conditions from

a private. source,” and the answer, he

feels ‘sure, is no. Thus the: college-
should stand firm .en. its principles

and refuse to participate

in the

¢

* values”. in students;

;the-role-of-a social dissenter:

NDEA program.

A -Bryn.: Mawr student,
Masterson, .’64, approached the is-
sue from a somewhat different point
of view. Is Bryn Mawr an “organic
community,”s a .social force, she
asked, or is it simply. an educational’
institution? Her answer was, the
latter. Thus,*she feels, the college
has an educational obligation® to “its”
students but no obligation ‘to play

It is. Sally’s belief that, by refus-
ing to participate in the NDEA pro-
gram, Bryn Mawr.would be impos-
ing: its will on its students and cre-
ating an atmosphere of academic
conformity. “s

point the discussion included W.

"=NDE ac x

Recent discussion a whether “or not Bryn Mawr should

participate in the NDEA student loan program has shown the

variety of opinion on the subject (see p. 1, col.-2).. There

seems to be no disagreement in opposing as an unnecessary
violation of rights the clause which makes it a crime for a
member of a “subversive” organization to apply for funds
under the Act. The discussion centers around whether the
college ‘has an obligation to take a stand in the controversy.

~* “hose who urge that Bryn Mawr join the program argue

that the College has a duty to. allow its students freedom of
choice. They believe that the decision to abstain from apply-
- ing for funds on ideological grounds should be left up to the
individual. © . ae aoe

Whilé we believe.in maximum freedom for the student,.

we feel that it is naive to consider that the college actually
ean leave the choice up to the individual. There is no way

~~ for the College to remain neutral. To permit any of its stu-
dents to participate in the program would be equivalent to

_ approval of it. . oN

. The individual’s only way of protesting: the clause, i. e.
not applying for a grant, would have but little effect on govern-
ment policy; if the College leaves the resposibility of protest-
ing up to the individual, it virtually denies him this power.
Thus we must make our protest of the violation of rights which

the NDEA anti-subversives clause represents through the Col- -

lege : :

n

_ the College can and must take on the role of social dissenter.
We see the college not only as a community of individuals, but
as a unit in the larger American academic world. Any act
which alters or limits the freedom. of any part of that world
affects Bryn Mawr, and Bryn Mawr has not only the right,
but the duty to protest it. - ee /

Suite . Talk ae he |

As the Hall. Draw approaches, the present system of

‘assigning rooms at Bryn Mawr deserves serious reconsidera-
tion. :

At present, there are three price levels for room and
board. The price a student pays depends on the size and loca-
tion.of her room. All students receiving scholarship aid from
Bryn Mawr must have a lew price room.. In some halls, this
can severely limit her choice. For instance, there ‘may be- no.
‘possibility of her rooming with another girl, except in a very
undesirable ‘“‘emergency double” situation. The three price-:
level system causes uncalled for discrimination among stu-
dents, and we believe that all rooms should be the same price.

_ The avowed’principle of scholarship aid at Bryn Mawr is one
of equality. The College awards scholarships so that students
will be able to participate oi an equal basis in all phases of
campus life with no more than reasonable financial strain.
Thus, the schclarship student will be indistinguishable from

~ those students who are not receiving such aid. There can. be
no real equality as long as:there are distinctions in room accom-

-modations between -scholarship-and-non-scholarship. students.

- By having three different prices for room and board, it
is true that those students who can afford to pay more toward
their maintenance at college will.do so.’ Payments from indi-
vidual students provide a greater percentage of the College’s
costs for room and board than if all fooms were the same price,
since a number of students would need extra scholarship aid
in order to pay the additional charge that one price for every-
one would entail: : ce
. We realize that as long as the College maintains the dis-

. tinction in room prices, it must require that scholarship stu-

5

dents hav> low-priced rooms, since if a student can afford to.
pay an additional sum of money toward her room, she should

invest it in her tuition, making additional scholarship money
available to needy students. '

We feel, however, that the principle of equality followed
by Bryn Mawr in its: scholarship program is more important

than the money the College may’ gain by continuing the dis-.

tinction in room prices.

THE INN
To The Editor:

What a strange contrast. there
is between the food and service, at
our new “Union” and the old “Bryn
Mawr College Inn.” Whereas stu-
dent waitresses at the Union make
an evening snack a pleasure, the
regular help at meals make din-
ing at the Inn an unpleasant and
frustrating’. experience.

At any other restaurant “open

to’ be,
guests who wish to order dessert

:, that “You may never get your,

order” would ibe severely. scolded,

if not threatened with “losing~her

job. Not so at the College Inn.
There the manager excuses such
Magrant. rudeness “with “Some-
times the girls get a little excited.”
_The slow. and. inefficient. service
can perhaps be excused as the~in--
evitable. result..of: underpaid and
“un-tipped” help, insufficient —kit-
chen organization and poor man-
agement;
however, is never excusable. It is
curious, however, that both good
food and prompt and courteous
service can be offered to:a com-
parable number of customers at
‘the: Deanery.” (80%
“The solution to the grievous si- .

tuation existing at the Inn will be~

undeniably difficult. The tipping

May Pole dancing followed. af-..-

ter .the crowning of the May
Queen, and then graduate students
and alumnae presented four Eli;
zabethan plays, Each undergradu-
ate class also contributed a play
‘to the pageant. It began at “3
Hours after Noone”, and closed
two and a half hours later with
an old English supper of “brothe,
capon in, gelye, sallet of chykenys,
cruste rolle, jamme’ tartes, straw-

berries served with creme, and ‘~

cakys.”
It was défficult to reconcile -the
traditional May, Day costumes

dress. Controversy over ; whether

. girls’ should wear men’s clothing in
public. was. resolved... by-..covering

them up ‘with smocks and’ cloaks.
The costumes were passed by
a costuming committee, yet the
farmer who brought his oxen from
Lancaster exclaimed, “Never again
will TAllow my oxen to see such a:

‘sight as this.”

One of the difficult tasks of the
first .May Day. pageant was to

organize the Elizabethan music. ~

When union musicians went ‘on

strike against..the long Wours-of-
the Elizabethan revels, the music

clubs of “Haverford averted disas-~
ter by donning costumes and pro-

viding the music.

President M. Carey Thomas, in
her May Day speech in 1915, told
the students, “Your May Day re-
vels were the first of the many re-
vivals of this old custom.” Origin-
ally a Roman festival of spring,

of May Day marked the coming
of summer with games, revels,
worship of Beowulf and*- other

Cornelia Otis ‘Skinner made her

istic of May Day “a delightful
Anglo-Saxon rowdiness.”. “Too of-
ten is this missing from our plight-

But the 19386 pageant, the last
Big May Day to be held, was far
greater in scope than any previous
celebration. Preparations were be-
gun in February, but the director
assured students that they would
not have to give up-any of their
spring vacation.

Girls Attend Conferences, Miss Elizabeth Spencer, 63 Donnelly Fellow,
Discuss Aid to Education

by Nancy Kuhn, ’66
and Lois Magnusson, "66

Student representatives of more
than twenty national political, re-'
ligious, and social organizations
(College Young Democrats, NSA,
NAACP: held the largest delega-
tions) assembled in Washington,
D. \C. last weekend to discuss as-
pects of federal aid to education
and to talk with their. congress-

men about. the Administration’s..

education improvement ; program.

The Federal Aid to Education
conferencé workshops dealt with
Student Aid, Construction of Higher
Education, Improvement of Instruc-
tion, Primary and Secondary Facili-
ties and Instruction, Special Edu-
cation Proposals, and a-general con- °

“sideration of the political theory be-..
Res- -

‘hind the ‘provisions of the bill: °
olutions framed by the workshops
were avidly debated at’ the final
general meeting. In general, stu-
dents supported the bill on the basis

~~ that “some states are finantially un- ~<«

able to support adequate programs
without federal aid.” They urged
increased. undergraduate student
~Joans, extension of G; I. education
benefits, introduction of a national
scholarship. program, and increased _
vocational training. The conference
» defeated a resolution concerning aid
to private and parochial schools and
one making a state education policy
of non-discrimination necessary for
a grant from the federal govern-

ment, not on principle but to in-.

crease chances for passage of the
administration bill. =

A televised march on ,the Capito]
with posters indicating. the stu-
‘dents’ approval of Federal Aid
preceded the students’ visits to
their congressmen. *

Saturday,. April 27, we also attend-
ed sessions of the annual meeting
of the-National-Committee of Young
Democrats. Esther Peterson, As-
sistant Secretary of Labor, partici-
pated in a special discussion ‘on wo-
men’s role in the Democratic Party.
She. stressed that
_ not participate in politics because
they are not asked to, but that they
are willing and capable workers and
should be asked. to contribute. -

Representative Bolling, who prais-—

ed the Administration’s skill in
‘ working with Congress, held high
‘hopes for the passage of: bills re-
~ lating to federal aid to higher educa-
tion and to vocational training
programs, but was dubious about
those ‘concerning federal aid ‘to
elementary and ‘secondary schools.

mittees deserve credit for an enjoy-
able weekend of varied and interest-
ing activities.

In accordance with the one rule

of ‘the fellowship—that the holder ~

must ‘stay at Bryn Mawr for two
weeks of the year-—Miss Spencer

‘stayed at the Deanery from April *

15 to April 29.
“When they wrote and asked me

to be the Donnelly Fellow, I said.

no, beeause I couldn’t- make ‘speech-
es,” said Miss Spencer. “But then
they told me that.I wouldn’t have
to make speeches, only be available
to students.”

During the two weeks she has

- spoken to two Experimental. Writ-

ing classes, pored over and evalua-
ted hundreds of pages of student
manuscripts and has talked with the
authors—with great tact, according
to several of them.

_“T- was -very:struck by the: indi-.

~-vividly about Bryn Mawr?” we ask-

ed,

“The Deanery.” she: looked at the’

carved brass beds which once _be-
longed to an Indian maharajah and

maharani. “It — has an atmosphere
all its own.”

Miss Spencer started to write
stories when she was in grammar
school in Mississippi. In college she
won two writing contests for
southern college students.

“It was very exciting writing in
the South at that time. Faulkner
was just becoming known and other
southern writers were creeping into

Six Plan Trip To Russia This Summer; |
Look Forward To Training In Language

‘Six Bryn Mawr students have
pledged to speak only Russian for
-ten weeks this summer.. Fivé of
them, Alison: Arsht, Jody Greén;
Becky McDowell, Sandra ‘Shapiro,
and Harriet Swern, are going to the
Soviet Union as-members of Indiana.

"University’s Slavic Workshop., The

sixth, Jane Fraser, will also go on
a similar program sponsored by.
Michigan University.

On June 13 the members of the
Indiana program will begin an in-
tensive Russian course at the Uni-
versity. After five weeks they will
fly from:New York to Moscow via
Copenhagen. They ‘will travel in the
Soviet Union for five more weeks,
and’ then return. to Copenhagen,

where they will take the final exam- ,

inations which are a required part
of the program. Anypne who wish>
es may leave the group after the

® examinations and return to this

country later at his own expense.

According to the ‘policy of the In-
diana University, Slavic Workshop,
“the primary purpose of the stay in
the Soviet Union is to improve...

fluency--in- Russian... This is nota —

sightseeing tour, although the: group
will visit many interesting places in
Various cities of the Soviet Union.”

ITINERARY.

Although the itinerary is not yet
known, in the past the group has
visited the three major Russian
cities, Moscow, Kiev, and. Lenin-
grad. Last year the tour included
several days of traveling on the
Volga, and in-the previous year the
students spent two weeks with Rus-
sians of about their own ages at a
sport camp.

The participants in the program
have varying experience in Russian
and different reasons for their in-
terest. ,

ally’ bring Russia ‘to Bryn Mawr.

in her room is the large brass sam-

Sandra Shapiro, the only. fresh-

participate in the Slavic Workshop,
is interested’in Russian. primarily

in terms of international politics,

will also follow the pre+med pro-

Barbara Thacher Proposes Changes In Social Calendar;

Suggestions. Include Soccer Games, All-College Mixers

There are new plans in the air and
new hopes if you find. the present
“mixer .system inadequate or unsuc-
cessful. Barbara Thacher, the So-
cial Chairman for the coming year,

-plans a careful study of the present

system and: hopes to make several
changes. Since she has not. yet met
withthe. hall- social. chairmen, her
suggestions are tentative and some

‘of them may prove impractical or °

impossible when- they. are more
thoroughly examined. -

* Barbara’s first plan is to examine
and revise our. halt mixer-coffee
‘hour program. Perhaps, instead of
.$o.many hall functions, we will try
to have all-college mixers in Good-

--hart-withedefinite groups’ from. spe-

cified men’s colleges. Girls could sign

“up in-advance-to“atterid- these-mix=*

ers.:
Mixers could also be- planned. to

follow good lectures, movies, or *in-
concerts with the college

formal
‘singing groups. It seems as if we
should be able to find new sources
of males — Yale, Harvard, Dart-
mouth; Cornell. . Perhaps we

could schedule events -with .an--eye
on the Penn athletic calendar since:
boys from these schopls are in the
area for these events anyway. The
relatively unused fidld of going to
mixers at men’s c lleges will also
be investigated.

Social activities) don’t need to be
limited to -mixers.: Barbara’ hopes to
be able to co-operate more closely
with the neig boring colleges.
Among -her.- s¥ggestions..are more
publicity of SC Weekend Work-













camps, Outing. Club trips, square
dances, -moré outdoor activities in
the spring jfand fall, such as: bike

trips, scavenger hunt picnics, touch
football. ox£ soccer games (Harvard
and Radcliffe have these!);-and- a
possible joint .BMC-Haverford pic-
nic*for*tutors “and tutored: of the

Philadelphia Tutorial Project. Ano-

ther. pogsibility is-a union of the
social *
ferences sponsored by Undergrad.,
Arts Council, or Alliance.

The number. of Tri-College events
could/ also be increased. This year





Sportsdays were a great ‘success.

Next year debates or drama ‘compe-

_tition might be tried.

Activity need not even involve »
boys in order to be social: Our own
campus offers opportunities for
many interesting events.. Perhaps
more good movies could be arranged.
We could have more step sings and
more social contact: withthe faculty.

Why: stop faculty coffee hours with
the end of Freshmen Week? Why
don’t we -play touch football .with
the faculty ?

Hurriet Swern is a French major, .
but. she’ studied Russian at Bryn
Mawr and the Cornell. Summer
School. She intends to go to grad-
uate school and then work in inter-
national affairs. She would especial-
ly like to have a‘*government job

‘which enables her to live abroad,«

although this is not~ her. first con-
sideration. At one. time she “was
considering .. studying international
law, but now she says she’ probably
won’t. Although she studies Russian
mainly to supplement her French,
she i8 enthusiaStic about the trip to
Russia and says that the Indiana
program is probably the~best’ way, to
visit the Soviet .Union..

Jane Fraser will take part in
Michigan University’s program of
Russian study and travel..The pro-
grams at the Universities of Michi-

~ gan; Indiana-and--Ohio- are. co-ordi-
- nated with each other, although the
“groups travel separately: The only

real difference between the. pfo-
grams is that the Michigan group
will spend six weeks at the Univer-
sity and-four in’ Russia, while thé -
Indiana group will-haye~ five weeks
in each place.- Jane is a Russian ma- |
jor. Although, her future. plans are!
not definite, after graduation from,

Bryn Mawr she will probably study

Russian more’ and” then jwork as an

interpreter. oe
