Dinner ‘Dress Rule’ Altered
As Legislature Ends Session
by Norma Ford
Legislature ended its year on
Wed. evening March: 4 with an
agenda ranging from a frecon-
. Sideration of amendments, to the
dress rule,to a report on several
changes. -in -the- Undergrad con-
stitution.
The first piece of business was
taken care of with the passing of
an amendment to Roberts’ Rules
of Order which will allow two '
speakers for and two against a
motion after a move to limit debate
on_ that motion has been made
, and passed.
Second on the agenda was a re-
consideration of the amendment to
the dress rule which would have
left dinner attire to the discretidn
of the halls, to be decided on by
each hall at the beginning of each
year. This amendment had been
defeated at the last meeting.
->An amendment -to the. main
motion was then suggested and
passed which would allow the in-
dividual to decide what to.wear to
dinner - within the restrictions. of
slacks, athletic costume or shorts
now in effect for other meals.
A. sécond amendment which
would have allowed the hall presi-—
dent to request that skirts be worn
on special oceasions was defeated.
Also defeated was an amendment
which would have permitted the
student body as a whole to vote
on the dress rule change. The
feeling’ was that it was Legis-
lature’s purpose to consider and
decide on such issues, and that
general student opinion, if it varied
from that” of legislature, might
be brought ‘to bear sarouen the
referendum.
At this point, the amended mo-
-tion.- that slacks, athletic costume
and.*shorts-*be acceptable dinner
attire at the discretion of the
individual - was voted on’ and
passed. -
Undergrad President Sorolliy
Meadows then reported on several
changes in the constitution made
by Executive Board. The first will

The new presidents of Self-Gov,

and Betsey Pinckney respectively.
Emily, a History of Art major,
hopes to emphasize ‘‘campus-wide

She believes that ‘‘Everyone should |
be aware of her potential as an
initiator-of change and questioner
of the system.’’ More specifically,
Emily hopes that something canbe
done about self scheduled exams
and the Driving Rule.
Reflecting on - her cssina le,
Emily found the Dinner System
‘invaluable for any future presi-
-dent.’”’ -It provides-‘‘a profitable...
two-way, information exchange’
which makes the students ‘‘more
aware of ‘the. problems and chal-
lenges the candidate to justify and
clarify her views.” Emily com-
niented, ‘‘the questions were very
honest; and I think it is more im-
portant that they be honest ane
challenging than merely polite,”
Betsey, a ‘Political Science

Sarah Lawrence Enjoys Pool Table,
«by Joan Cavallero
Impressions. of Sarah Lawrence
after spending a very pleasant week
at a sister school -- let me relate’
briefly my nicest experiences.
One thing, which of course would
impress me, was the Sarah, Lawr-
ence ‘‘cafe,’’ a concession snack-
bar open every day (except week-
ends), featuring continuous service
from breakfast until 10 p.m. The
cafe sells everything from candy to
hamburgers (30¢), from yoghurt ©
to ice cream. sodas. Most impor-
tant, there’s always someone in the
cafe, for pulling. up a chair next
to and saying hello.
Another pleasant change was the
meals, Although the quality of the
food was slightly inferior to our's, .
this was more than made up for by
_the buffet set-up and the staggered
dinner hours.
It--was. a treat, .in the buffet
style, to take as much of the dinner
and dessert as you wanted, at the
time you wanted it and tohavecof-
fee (tea or milk) three times a
day -- and as much as you want.
- But the best about their dinner is
not feeling rushed to leave, so that
the table can be cleared, You come
in at your leisure, add your extra
chair to any table, éat as slowly or
rapidly as you. wish, and need not
‘break up the table "conversation
(they have it!) twenty minutes after
Other treats included having
school ping-pong tables, bikes for
using anytime, and, especially, a
pool table. (The pool table, by the

sophomore Sandy Shapiro to her

to establish faculty-studentteas on |

Another Disgrace
Anether ‘‘disgrace”’ was to be seen Saturday night at the chorus’
concert: the audience could hardly have filled a quarter of the Goodhart
saditerfam. Was this turn-out yet another example of the February
lethergy we saw at the open meeting to discuss plans for the library?
Or ig. the undergraduate body merely becoming progressively ingrown
and cloistered?
We started ow the month with an excited group of students in the
midst of a civil rights conference and by the last day of February
our enthusiasm has dwindled to a mere drivel! Let us hope that this
shew ef apathydoes not increase as the year goes on, for this
might eventually creep into our academic lifé and be the ruin of us all.
True,: the publicity for the concert was poor and mainly last minute,
but here again the student body is at fault. Perhaps the concert was
peorly timed: small recitals on Sunday afternoons certainly draw a
_ larger and more appreciative crowd.

Faculty Teas: A Fine Start
That philosephy professer ... the one who entertained you at a “faculty
_ coffee”? during freshman week... you may meet him again, even if your
paths never quite seem te cross. Many sepheméres heve, all
thirewgh Dean Mershall’s series of faculty-sophamore teas. The teas
sfferd a rare opportunity for students to become re-acquainted with such
_prefessers and to re-discover the value-of discussion with facelty mem-
bers eutside a classroem setting.
Perhaps such informal gatherings as these are a workable solution to
the alleged problem of ailing --or absent -- student-faculty relations. In
addition te the teas’ ebvious function of introducing students and pro-
feesors on a somewhat social level, they can also pave the way for other
infer mal meetings, s mali student organized coffees with facutty members
or eceasional invitations te prefessers for dinner in the halls. After
meeting the faculty informally it is undeniably much less awkward to
invite various members to student functions.
Organising these teas was a fine start toward increasing exchange
between students and professers. it is a -pity, ‘however, that only the
° gophomeres could enjey the.experience. Anything as rewarding and en-
joyable as these gatherings should not be a ‘‘one time’”’ experience.
Perhaps the Curriculum Committee, Undergrad, or some student group
could work with the facukty and deans office to institute this type of
function on a regular basis, opening it.to all students,
Im recent weeks theré has been much talk about the seemingly ubtqui-
tous ‘‘much talk, little action”’ policy toward campus problems, A great
deat of credit should go to Dean Marshall for her successful effort to
combat the ancient ‘‘stadent- faculty relations’’ problem.
Two-Penny Tempest
As we sat complacently in the NEWS editorial offices, confident that
we were in full command of the college newspaper readers, we were
jolted by the appearance of another contender for that audience -- the
HAVERFORD TWO-PENNY -PRESS. It sprang up quietly’ and
wnebtrusively, in Taylor, in the Library, and, gradually, in students
a wondered about this young upstart. Was it a rival, and should we
therefore quake to the soles of our ink-stained boots? Or did it intend
to co-exist, and could we then sink back into our comfortable niche
According to TWO-PENNY PRESS editor Bob Eisenberg, the purpose
of the new paper is to stimulate discussion and action on social issues.
Therefore, it can devote.all its space to articles on controversial and
provecative issues. The COLLEGE NEWS ,. however, has another
function -- to inform a camptis which has no central ergan of com-
munication. Therefore, we have a responsibility to the college as a
whole to serve as &@ means ef communication. And, since we have

To the Editor of the College News:

interrogation regarding both the

former inquiry, for after all our
library is at least as adequate
as many in many areas, but I
fail to see why. the latter is so

is an apt summation ef the library’s
attitude in this case, but I would
like to point owt the inconsistency
of this statement in the light of
Bryn Mawr’s philosophy. To me,
one of the most heartening things
about Bryn Mawr is the minimiza-
tien of ‘‘class-censciousness ;’’

often surprized to learn that Bryn
Mawr is willing to accept t
) students. é,
They often think‘ of the ‘seven.
sisters” as schools for rich girls
_. and snobs, Also, they fail to realize
the availability of financial aid te
qualified applicants.
Because of poor standards im
high school, not many Negroes are
prepared for work at Bryn Mawr.
Although in these cases the Ad-
missions Office witl not expect
outstanding performance on en-
trance exams, it will accept onty
those students whose high sekdol
:records‘ indicate ability to take
advantage of
portunities. »

Election Palatable,
‘by Jane Walton
The question is annual aad
inevitable -- is there a better way
‘to elect presidents of the Big
Five organizations? j
In reply te a questionnaire on
elections, only three candidates
were flatly opposed to the present
system, They cited repetitiveness,
general disinterest, and eagerness
for a quasi-political mpaign as
arguments against ‘‘dinners,’’ but
favored them as a means to gather *
campus opinions and suggestions,
to demand articulation of their |
‘ own ideas, and to publicize their
organizations,
Asked ‘if presidential votes
should be limited to members of
the several organizations, the
candidates overwhelmingly an-
swered NO, se
Each activity is open to all
students, and by extension as IPSO
FACTO Undergrads whose dues
finance the Big Five, every student
is a member of the organizations,
Big Five presidents are algo
members of Cellege Council, a

rai From F&M And BMC —
Perfarm In. Echoing Goodhe+t.
* The members of the Bryn Mawr
and Franklin and Marshall Cho-
ruses were greeted. by a- nearly
empty auditorium at their concert
last Saturday; hardly a hundred
people were scattered through
Goodhart that night.
On the whole, the ‘balance of
tonal quality in the Bryn Mawr
Chorus was even, unlike last year.
Their entrances were for the most
part well executed and only occz-
sionally did the sopranos waver
off pitch.
However, the performance was
generally dead-pan and lifeless;
not once did I see a girl smile
for the sheer joy of singing.
The ‘‘Ave Maria’’ was pedantic
and contained several bad en-
trances. Worst of all, the girls put
no feeling into the song, and I
doubt fr many of them knew what
the words meant.
“Perhaps this sorry result was
due to the lack of a morale-
boosting audience, and perhaps it
was due to arushed and monotonous
job of conducting.
The two joint chorus pieces were
not much. better. Certainly the pre-
cision of the ‘*Magnificat” was
preferable to the sloppiness of the
“Jubilate Deo,’’ but it was obvious
in the former. that few knew how -
to execute changes in tempo and”
‘volume that should belong to such
a production.

However, the “Magnificat”? ap-
proached beauty as the joint chorus
sang the words ‘‘dispersit
superbos.’’ The notes themselves
were syncopated accurately, and
there was at least a glimmer of
feeling in the words.
rhaps the boys’ stronger
ices drew this result out of
e group, or at least the singers
knew the meaning of the. word
‘“superbos’’ and tried to sing it
with appropriate gusto.
The high point of the perfor-
mance was “Fa Una Canzone’’
sung by the Bryn Mawr College
Chorus Small Group (not to slight
F&M’s songs) The.singers re-
sponded to the spirit of the words
and the music, regardless of lan-
guage barrier, and a vote of
praise should go to Gill Bunshaft
for her lively and capable con-
ducting.
The song-'was a pleasure
to hear; the performers’ own
enjoyment, a pleasure to see.

by Peggy Wilber
The newest publication available
on the Haverford-Bryn Mawr cam-
puses, The Haverford Twopenny

sheet, founded by the occupants
of 34 Lloyd, Haverford, Joe Ayer,
66, Roger Eaton, ’66, Bob Eisen-
berg, ’65, and Terry Van Brunt,

Stimulate discussion and. action
on a wide variety of social issues.
The board feels that sufficient
attention is not given to such
topics in either the Bryn Mawr
or Haverford newspapers.
The Press is supported by the
Haverford - Student. Council. which
subsidizes it to a certain degree,
although Bob. expects that. most
money will come from sales, A
