Library Will Remain Open
Till 12:00 For
Concerted student efforts to keep
the library open later than 10 p.m.
met with success this week. Li-
‘brary officials announced that the
Main Reading Room will remain
open until 12 p.m. every night
except Saturday for a trial period
of two weeks before Thanksgiving
vacation. If enough students use
the library, there may be a per-
manent adjustment of hours.-*’
Starting Wednesday, students
can-sign out to the: Library until
midnight. Every night from 10
to 12 p.m., one or two door at-
tendants, student volunteers, will
take charge of a tally system.
This system will be used to |
determine how many students ac-
tually use the Library and how
long they stay... Every student en-
tering after 10 p.m. will be re-
quested to sign her name and.the
. time; every student leaving: after
10:15 must: also record her name
and the time,
‘Since the Administration is con-.
student safety, one-
extra watchman will be on duty.
There is still a question as to
whether escorted boys’ will: b

Berthoff To Speak
On Western Books.
At Warsaw College
: Warner B.. Berthoff, Associate
Professor of English, will.lecture
on American Literature for four“
‘weeks at the University of Warsaw
in Poland. He will leave November
23, to participate in a program
sponsored by the Committee onthe
International Exchange of Persons
afid the Department of State.
According to Mr. Berthoff, the
study of American literature is
part of the regular English language
program at the University of War-
saw.
Last year an American Fulbright
professor taught there for the first
time, with such success that when
the appointee.for the present.year
had to withdraw, an urgent call for
a replacement went out from War-
saw and Washington. Mr. Berthoff,
a former Fulbright: lecturer, will
help fill the gap by lecturing for
four weeks. }
He will teach ‘a seminar in
-.Nineteenth Century,...American
Literature,.and a lecture course in
Modern American Realism.
“1m interested in the prospect
of being in Eastern Europe,’’ says’
Mr. Berthoff, ‘‘As an Iron Curtain
country, Poland has. managed in’
recent years to gain some degree
of freedom from Russian domina-
tion. am,
“It has a long history: of sur-
pressed nationalism, It’s been par-
titioned == how many times? And
the- prospect of visiting Warsaw, -
which was almost completely de-
Atte oyed in World War II, is possibly
ozly slaghtl;- less compe))ing-than
visiting Hiroshima.”
Mr. Berthoff hopes:to have time
to travel in Poland, and plans to
return with a ‘MacMillan hat’’.

Edna Perkins, °66, COLIWGE
NEWS reporter, Dana: Purvig, ’67.
and Barbara Ranney, ’65, ware
arrested this morning in Chéster
while picketing at the Franklin
Street Elementary School. The stu-
dents have ‘been picketing for
several days in protest of poor
conditions.at. the..school and were
arrested for blocking the-doors so
that no one could enter, They were
first taken to the Chester Police
Station ‘where. other picketers in-
cluding Chester residents, and stu-
dents from Swarthmore and Haver-
ford followed them, marching jn:
front of the police station...Early.
this afternoon after a crowd had
formed in protest of the arrests,
they were moved to the Broad
Meadows County Jail, which is
about 10 miles outside of Chester,
When this reporter, accompa-
‘nied by Clara Perkins, Edna Per-
kins’ sister, attempted this after-
noon to talk with the students being
held at Broad Meadows, they were
refused entrance, The guard in-
formed us.that he had been ordered
to admit no one to.see the students
arrested for picketing and give out
no information,
At the Chester Police Station,—
officials were uncooperative, at
first refusing to give ay informa-
tion even to Clara Perkins as the

College C ouncil Discusses
Role Of NSA i cain
At a-College Council meeting
last night, the position of the N.S.A.
Co-ordinator at* Bryn Mawr was
brought up for discussion.
After Marj Heller, N.S.A, Co-
ordinator, outlined N,S,A.’s
functions, two basically different.
viewpoints became evident in the-
ensuing discussion. One stresséd
the need for an N,S,.A, Co-ordinator
on the campus, a student who can
not only act as a means-to dis-
seminate...N,S,A._information, and |
activities, “but: who can, also take
“an active” part™ in™ the” natfonal
organization, This entails every-
thing from helping.to..interest non-
member . collegés..in- joining
N.S.As to representing within
N.S.A, opinions of both Bryn Mawr
and the small college in general.
The -other viewpoint supported
the idea of combining the N,S.A.
~Co-ordinator’s job with that of
one of Undergrad’s officers. It was
felt that the duties of the two
overlapped and that an Undergrad
“officer, the vice president or the
secretary if not the president, was.
tO" cehar 2!
activities to the campus.
It was conclyded that the
difference between these . view-
points lay in whether one started
. ference.
ae
with the premise that Bryn Mawr
must take.4 more active role he
the national structure N.S, A,
with the premise that we Be
find the most effective means of
Stimulating. interest in N.S.A, on
campus. —
The discussion turned to the
N.S.A, budget allotment. A number
of Council members seemed to
feel that the amount of money
N.S.A, proposes,.to spend is out
~of proportion’ tostudent interest.
_Particular exception was taken to
the high cost of sending students
to the summer conferences. It was
pointed out, however, that $400 out
of the -$900 N,.S,A, allotment was
money already spent to send the Co-
ordinator and the president of
Self-Gov.: to last summer’s con-~
Thus . this money has.
nothing to. do. with the coming
summer’s conference and the pro-
posal. to send a total of three
students to it.
Since Collegé Council takes no
action, but méets only to discuss
étFent problems, the-subico2~
dropped. It will dis cussed-again
next Monday~at the Undergrad
Executive Council meeting,: where ~
it is possible to take. action.

After some prodding, they allowe

Who Cares About N.S. A?
Who: cares about N,S.A,? There have been a
stories published in THE COLLEGE,
3eries “l
“NEWS about or from the National Student Asso-
jiation, Students are sent to the N.S,A, confer-
ance. every year, and there are NSA-sponsored
. -3peakers and activities on campus, But how much
joes the student body know or care about this
organization? Informal COLLEGE NEWS sur-
Protests over the amount of money allotted to
N.S.A, in the Common Treasury budget corrob-
orate this.
Yet there are people at Bryn Mawr who be-
lieve strongly in the value of N,S,A. Marj Heller,
N.S.A. Co-ordinator has made ambitious plans
‘for the coming year, indicating her unqualified
belief in this organization -- a belief which is
surely based on more than vested interest,
N.S.A. CAN keep us in touch with student ac-
tivities all over the country, It CAN be a forum
for student opinion and a means to communicate
with foreign student groups, The problem is.
structural, Bryn Mawr is a small college, one
in which the duties of an N,S,A,.. Co-ordinator
overlap with these functions of the Undergrad
president and the editor of THE COLLEGE
NEWS. Her job is to act as ago-between for the
national committees and the campus,.-but : the..
Undergrad president, through her knowledge of
campus opinion and activity, and THE COLLEGE
NEWS editor, because she directs N,S,A,. infor-
mation into the newspaper, do the same .-- and
more dynamically.
~ The present N,S.A. Co-ordinator has aone an
outstanding job in organizing N,S,A,-sponsored
activities and trying to see that the student
body understands the functions of. N,S/A, It is
"not a question of her.competence, It is a ques-
tion of the. needs of the campus. We are not a
Jarge university, and we don’t have enough stu-
dents to take advantage of half the activities
N.S.A, offers.
The Undergrad president is tife individual who
is best equipped to channel .N,S,A. activities. to
the campus efficiently. She knows where student
interest lies; she knows where to go and who
to see among students,

NVS.A. Representation Worth It?
"Defin itely” Ellen Gross States -
Should there be an: mh rep on
campus?
This question, which is presently
facing Bryn Mawr, as well asa
number of other institutions, is dif-
ficult to answer, Not only is its
function a dubious one to a number
of the members of the college, but,
in addition, its organization is
complicated by the inefficiency of
-.the. National.Commission, as ¢x- -
plained in last week’s COLLEGE
NEWS.
. However, Ellen Gross, president
of Self Gov, urged its support,
“despite present weaknesses, be-
cause its potentiality is not com-
pletely fulfilled at this moment.’’
It is not a completely represen-
tative organization at this time, she
explained, For example, many
southern schools do not belong to
NSA because it supports the court’s
decision on integration,
However, although NSA is basi-
cally a: liberal organization, ‘‘it is
not run so that the conservative
position is never expressed,”
‘ Ellen explained, Q
. “NSA is weak,’’ she continued,
‘not only because of the unrepre-
sentational membership, but also
_ because many, ‘many campuses do
not take fullest advantage of NSA,
_for exdmple, by bringing NSA-

She is consideririg working for

“The question of having an NSA

white,’’ she’ concluded. ‘NSA is,
however, the only forum for stu-
dent opinion in this country, The

National Repertory Theater Produces
Plays By Chekhov, ‘Miller, Anhouilh- :
THE SEAGULL
The National ‘Repertory Theatre
is presenting Chekov’s “The Sea-
gull,” a play which sets forth
' the‘cycle of sorrows”’ of a group
of the Russian gentry.
Among these people are a
‘ famous but aging actress, Irina
Nikolayevna Arkadina \ (Eve. Le
, Gallienne); her son who wants to
be an author, Konstantin Gavrilo-
--vitchTreplev. (Farley Granger);
a famous’ writer (Denholm
ENiott); and Nina Mihailovna
Zaretchnaya, a young girl whose _
ambition is to be an actress (Anne
Meacham),
Their intricate relationships and
their failure to find satisfaction
in their professions form the play’s
tragic basis, often thinly veiled
with wit and gaiety, —
Besides playing a leading role,
. Eva Le Gallienne directed *‘The
Seagull’? and provided her own
vivid, clever translation, which
keeps the dialogue moving quickly -
and naturally, i
In. spite of her importance to
this production, she refrains ‘from
dominating the play at the expense
‘of other, actors, Miss Le
Gallienne’s performance however,
is so good that she probably could
easily do so. ,

in 1953, it was generally accepted
as a topical drama ofthe McCarthy

years have passed, and the National

As She says, the widow of Dylar

Varsity, JV Hockey Squads
Concludes Spirited Season
‘This has been a fine fall_for

Not only has the weather been
clear, but the Varsity and Jun-
ior Varsity teams have-taken ad-
vantage of it to Come through
with a vigtorious season, The
Varsity feo three and lost two,
and the won four and lost one.
For the. Drexel game it was%—
amazingly hot and dry. The play
was also.so heated that star full-
back Paula Pace was hit squarely
on the middle of the forehead with
the ball. The whole game was
fast and energetic but unfortun-
ately the varsity lost.
On October 22 the Varsity lost
to Swarthmore; whose team _ is
always very spirited. Perhaps
co-education stimulates physical
development! :
Rosemont and Chestnut Hill, our
last two opponents, the only ones
from all-girl schools, hada less —
snappy pace to their play. This
made it a great deal easier for
us, for as a team we are slow but
hard-hitting. By the end of the
last game there was fine agres-
sive play in the circle, Patience
Meigs, Sally Newhall and Betty
Ames all made goals for the Var-
‘sity.
In general our season was great
fun and successful as well. -The
Freshmen gave us lots of fresh
energy and next year they’ll be
the backbone of the team. -
Miss Yeager held us together
while manager Popie Johns kept
us organized, and Captain Betty
. Ames inspired us with determina-
tion, zippy cuts, and quick stick-
work.
Now all that remains to us is to:

While Revising Venerable Driving Rule
Since Self Gov. and the college

reviewing the driving rule, infor-
mation gleaned from students who
presently have car permission will
be used in this reconsideration.
According to Self Gov, Presi-
dent Ellen Gross, the organizatior™
is trying to determine by dis-
-cusSion and experiencé the best
driving rule for the campus.
Therefore, the special driving
“permission that has been grante*
to approximately fifteen students,
for academic, extra-curricular,
-- and personal reason, will be used
as a testing device. ~
Several. of the students with car
permission, primarily those asso-
ciated with organizations, have
been asked by Self Gov. to keep a
record of their expenses and. the
amount of time the car is used,
LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE
In this way, Self Gov. will have
definite information about the cost,
