Lantern Sliding Provides
Inrigorating Spring Sport

For those students who have

decided not to govout for tennis
“Gas year there is a little-dis-

cussed but highly active sport to

fill those sunny, hours; lantern’

sliding.
This diversion has mistakenly

been presented as an ‘‘odd job on
campus’’, but students who have
participated in it have recognized
it as one of the best sources of
exercise available,

The proper form of the sport is
determined by. the personality of
the professor who is conducting it,
First of all, there is the ‘‘We’re-
going - to - get - through -thirty-
Romanesque - cathedrals - today,
- come - hell - or - high - water-
type.’”? To play under this sort of
coach, the student must remain on

her toes at all times, leaping with —
_ fleet_agility from one slide machine

to the other, scampering on winged
heels to replace burned-out lantern
bulbs, and hopping briskly to the

inter-room phone ‘to receive
instructions to adjust upside-down
pictures, ;

Then there is’ the breed

commonly known as “If - we -
spend = the - first - semester'*-
on _-.The - Oath - of - the-
Horatii - there - won’t - be - any-
difficulty - understanding - Jack-
son - Pollack.’? Here a relaxed
stance must be maintained while
a single painting is projected on
the screen for four ménths. How-
ever, the player must be ready at
all times to’ spring into action,
should the professor ever actually
reach Pollack anddemanda change
of slide.

Most difficult, however. is the
professor styled **Would - you -

scrambling back to your towering
“perch, ruffling through the slide

box in utter darkness’ and waiting
patiently for fifteen minutes for
the professor to return to inform
you that you have retrieved the
wrong slide. Needless to say, this
can cause momentary panic, but
there will usually be another fif-
teen=-minute lull during which you
can catch your breath and recuper-
ate.

All in all, the’-sport has many
advantages, There is little fresh
air in the art history rooms, but
the abundance of strenuous exer-
cise makes the stuffinéss totally

Annie Leigh Broughton, Director
of Admissions, ‘that we not only

might have come to Bryn Mawr,
but actually turned down 70 candi-
dates for admission.”
AID OFTEN SOUGHT

The high proportion of appli-
cants requesting financial aid
complicated decisions again this
year. More than one-third of all
the applications received included
requests for scholarships, "4,701
in all, Mrs. Broughton revealed
that approximately 50 scholarship

awards, from the college itself.

of which carries a $200 loan as
well, will be conferred, She cited,

figure was 82 per cent,

The Mechanisms
Of Neoheirarchy

Stoke Up Engine

. A freshman, Engine Sthrompes,
has baffled the English« department
with her first three sensational
Freshman comps, turned in April
13, because a nasty case of mono-
nucleosis last fall prevented her
from beginning college.

She is currently taking three .

English, 15 courses, from Mr.
Burlin, Miss Rodgers and Mrs,
MacCaffrey.

. Her, first three efforts, were
titled ‘‘The Mofass of Hierarchy’’
“Polarity in ‘Directives’,’’ and
‘Animal Imagery in ‘Directives’.”*

They stunned and baffled members —

of the English department,

Sitting in her East Hoyse triple
amid countless neatly stacked piles
of yellow sheets, Engine explained
the puzzled reaction of her pro-
fessors: ‘‘They didn’t know who I
was, or am, because I’ve been so
busy writing freshman comps, that
I don’t have time to-go to class,
Besides the three sections con-
flict.”” Engine is a study in|con-

trasts; (One hastroubledescribing .

her as either tall or shért, yet
she must be one or the other, since)
nothing. about her is normal (‘‘ex-
cept that she spells desert like
dessert’? says Miss »Rodgers,
brandishing Engine’s sensational
study of Eliot’s lack of hierarchy).

Engine dlso writes in contrast-
ing styles, She succinctly solves a

_major ambiguity in Frost’s ‘‘‘Di-

rectives”’ by stating ‘‘The country
side abounds in hostile monoliths,”
and ‘The narrative voice is fright-
ened by forty firkins,’’ Onthe other
hand, her theoretical discussionis .
anything but succinct: ‘¢ ‘Directive’
is polarity then, in the very Far
Western sense of asplit conscious -

#ness,*‘and the directive .of,the ;
journey, upon the’whole page, like .
‘the geography of the historical.

journey, and the spatial meditation
of.the thought journey is like the
narrator’s conscious moving from
pole to pole, or, as it were, ‘from
‘sea to shining sea,’

“Engine blushes modestly when

_asked about the truth of the rumor

that Mr. Burlin gave her a grade
of 106. Mrs, MacCaffrey reported-—
ly admitted to being speechless,
Miss Rodgers waxed: lyric:
