’ Visit On Campus.

Causes Security Problem

Security precautions for the
forthcoming visit by England’s
‘‘Beatles,’’ a pop group, in the
spring are being carefully made.
The Beatles, a pop group composed
of four boys, are scheduled to make
a publicity call on a Radnor sopho-
more whose name camnot be re-
vealed as yet because of the se-
curity problem.

These four lads, “who sing ‘and
play their own compositions in the
ethnic style of Northern England
known as the Mersey Sound, have
had a great deal of trouble at
concerts and appearances, because
-a certain number oftheir following
becomes hysterical,

This reaction seems to be
riothing more than.a desire to get
going a good orgy, but English
politicians are watching the situa-
tion closely, because when hysteri-
cal, these fans frequently become
rabid, and the Commonwealth is
shaky enough already.

One suggestion which has al-
ready been proposed to the Bryn

' Mawr police force who is handling

security is to allow the four Liver-
pudlians to came in with a group
of Haverford students, The
Beatles have pickéd up the Haver-
ford bow] cut hair style.
Unfortunately most of the Beat-
les because oftheir recent success
have taken to shaving daily, and
‘it has even been noted their clothing
is frequently freshly pressed,
Another suggestion has been to

land them by helicopter inthe field -

behind Batten House. The German
scholars, however, have objected

that this would interrupt sun bath-’

ing.

A third possibility would be for
them to dress in street clothes
and comb their hair beck. The
Beatles, however, say this would

do irreparable harm to their basic.

personality images and would also
take all the fun out of the chase.

anyone were to speak to them, she

four were not run-of the-: mill

Bringing them in on a weekend

_The most feasible arrangement

Lanternmen, Police Start Search

For Missing Margaret Eastman

The COLLEGE NOOSE regrets
to announce the disappearance. of
Margaret Eastman, Denbigh, ’65,
sometime during the past week,
accordig#, to the Office of Public
Infomation,

Although last seen playing frisbee
with Sunday night’s pizzas,
Margaret did not officially disap-
pear. until today when Linda
Colllins, ’66, tried to borrow her
anthropology netes and, after and
extensive search, found both notes
and Margaret, missing .

Margaret, an anthropology ma-
jor, was interested in witchcraft
and- had: planned to: live among the
Dobu after graduation.

The Office of Public Information
offers no explanation for her dis-
appearance, or for. the tardy dis-

covery of it, but Linda suggests

that Margaret’s unobtrusive, al-
most. cat-like, manner, together
witlr her habit of frequenfly skip-
ing meals and classes may have
prévepted her absence from being
immediately apparent,

» ‘

-Except for asmall pile of silvery
powder in the middle of the floor
Margaret’s room is in perfect or-
der, She apparently: took nothing
with her besides the notebook and
left no clue’to her present where-
abouts. She did not sign out. ~

Her dean reports that she was
an .average. student with no -out-
standing problems or character
traits besides the ubiquitous Bryn
Mawr pleasant manner and humil-
i 7”

Her next avor neighbor, Judy
Levy, comments that Margaret
often stav2d up all night, but that
she ‘never seemed unhappy, only
quiet,’’ except for occasional out-
bursts, such as the pizza throwing
of. last Sunday. :

Judy has not seen Margaret
since Sunday night, but says that
she normally sees‘very little of her
since Judy studies in the library.
She is ‘‘baffled and shocked’’ by
Margaret’s disappearance,

The Bryn Mawr Police are col-
laborating with the school lantern-
men on the case,

It has been brought té the atten-
tion of the COLLEGE NOOSE that
all the brooms in Denbigh are mis-
sing. ‘

"Oh Drothvan, ae Me
From This Infernal Clang!

Yesterday I was rudely awakened
at 11 o’clock by the Taylor bell.
It_was just tolling the end of my
10 o’clock class. As I am rather
disagreeable in the. morning, I
crawled out of bed, accumulating
several splinters as I did’so, and
let out a lusty growl. Ithen stalked
out the door and over to Taylor
Hall. A few silly people snickered
at my attire, but I sneered at them
and put them in their place. I
proceeded to climb indignantly to
the bell to find that beastly man who

pang that beastly bell. As neared

the top it occured to me that he
was probably a veritible gargantua.

Unearths A Ghost —

If anyone read my signout the
other night, she would have thought
I was nuts, It read: ‘‘c/o Ghost,
Library - no telephone, give an

Indian. war whoop outside.’’ Yes,

I was off to interview that natural
phénomenon of Bryn Mawr, the
Ghost of the mawrtyred Freshman.

“According to legend, this poor

“freshman, was killed in the late

1890’s while walking down senior
row by a mob of blood-, or shall
I say green-(for that was. her
color), thirsty seniors. She walks
around the high places of the
library every third Thursday and
on important occasions such as
Lantern Night, May Day and when-
ever. Haverford wins a football
game. By that last item we can

‘see she doesn’t walk very often.

\
I crept through a door in one
of the library towers with only
my lantern for light. At the-top.
a clanking and rattling ‘of chains’
in an unfamiliar tune startled me.
There she was surrounded by a
greenish glow, shuffling along the
Toof. Did I dare ask her the one
question burning in my head? All
at once I found myself calling,

: **© Ghost of:the Mawtyred Fresh-

man, ‘what do you like to drink
“besides tea?” : %

**Goldwasser!”’ she screeched.
