| RetiresThisMonth
ToLiveinF lorida .

Miss Sidney Donaidson, the eee
retary to the Dean, is retiring at
the end of this month after twenty-
three years on the Bryn Mawr pay-
rolls. Being Secretary tothe Dean,
she has had a staff of three to help
her in a job that, as Mrs. Murtz of
the Bureau of Recommendations
put it, ‘entails a little bit of every-
thing.’ This all-inclusive job
amounts to dealing with all the aca-
demic information, miscellaneous
as well as vitally important, that

‘goes through the Dean’s office.

This has put her in contact with
thousands _of_.students over the.
years. In fact, she was a student
here herself once. She was gradu-
ated in 1921, majoring in French
and Sparlish.

Between 1921 and1941,when she
returned here, she worked for the
Shipley School, and for seven years
as Secretary to the President at
Haverford. In accordance with her
life-long hobby of gardening, she
has taken classes at the Barnes.
Arboretum in Merion.

All during this time she has liv-
ed in Ardmore with her mother and
sister,, Now, with Miss Donaldson’s
retirement, all three are moving to
Florida. They have already bought
a house, with a yard that could do
with a little landscaping. But that’s
no problem: with her extensive
knowledge of horticulture (‘‘She
knows. everything about shrubs and
trees and plants,’’ said Mrs. Kath-
erine Whelihan enviously), she is
already looking forward to putting
the Florida sunshine to work. No
flower could resist growing for a
combination like that.

Haverfordians Pin
Cheery Mawrters

Bryn Mawr’s nine-girl cheer-
leading squad was honored this
week by Haverford for its un-
daunted enthusiasm in this year’s
less-than-successful football sea-
son. (The Fords had a no-win
record.)

The cheerleaders were escorted

to Haverford Tuesday morning for~
Collection in Roberts Hall. Chuck °

Lawrence, co-captain of the foot-
ball team, presented the girls
with gold pins bearing the Haver-
ford insignia. Also honored were
Haverford’s faithful fife and drum
corps. ,

Receiving pins were Joyce Blair,
Popie: Johns, Alma Lee, Steffi
Lewis, Elena Mestre, Gene Fiac-
cone, Sue Bishop, and Cile Yow.

‘Another cheerlea , Candy Vul-
taggio, was unab - to attend the
ceremony.

The cheerleading squad, which
was initiated only last year, hopes
to continue its efforts —

r
* dollars. The exact amount of their

winnings will be proportional to

. how favorably they compare with ”

their Alabamian opponents. The
sum. will be deposited in the Bryn
Mawr College Alumnae Fund,

The program is essentially the
same as the better known ‘‘Gol-
lege Bowl’’, in which college
undergraduates eompete for cash
prizes for their schools. The three
panelists on each team are re-
quired to answer verbal and vis-
ual questions from.categories such
as sports, history, business, the
arts, people, places, and litera -
ture.

The Bryn Mawr wan; with no.

conscious partiality, was chosen
entirely from the ranks of Bryn
Mawr’s writers and publishers.

Terry Ferrer is the Education Ed-

itor of the NEW YORK HERALD

TRIBUNE, which is currently giv-.

ing front page coverage to aseries
of articles she has written on
“The College Crisis’’ (See Taylor
Bulletin Board for text of this
‘ series). Kate Rand Loyd, formerly
Managing Editor of GLAMOUR
magazine, is now on the staff
of VOGUE, as Associate Feature
Editor. As a Bryn Mawr Senior,
she won the Prix de Paris, a

‘prize awarded for excellence in

writing, by GLAMOUR. Emily
Kimbrough is perhaps best known
in association with the book OUR
HEARTS WERE YOUNG ANDGAY,
which she wrote. with Cornelia
Otis Skinner, another Bryn Mawr
alumna.

Although the program is being
taped tonight, it will not be broad-
cast until mid-January, ona Sunday
evening. Tune in, then, to watch
our team display the traditional
Bryn Mawr intellect, and, in John
Cleary’s words, tell Bryn Mawr’s
‘‘story’’, and ‘expose its image’?
to the masses. af

Governor William Scranton addresses eprcevanres of the Col- .

legiate Press in Harrisburg.

Gov. Scranton, State Officials
Quizzed by Collegiate Press.

Pennsylvania Governor William -
W: Scranton’s annual College Press. -

Conference was held in the state
capitol building in Harrisburg on
December 9. For all intensive
‘purposes, the’ collegiate journal-
Ysts, aided and abetted by the reg-
ular Capitol newsstaff, interrogat-
ed the Governor for an hour.

After a brief welcome by Jack
Donnelley, the governor’s press
secretary, students. representing
Pennsylvania colleges and univer-
sities, private an§ state-controll-
ed, hurled questions at Governor
Scranton. Topics ranging in scope
from political philosophy to speci-
fic issues involving practical poli-
tics were buffeted candidly by Mr.
Scranton.

These were the interesting fea-
tures of the press conference; that
students were considered capable
of maintaining the tenor in sucha
situation, given the fact that all
aspects of state government were
readily accessible to thaSe.in at-

tendance; that even the ‘‘loaded’’ |

questions were treated with forth-
right honesty by the Governor,
who did not hesitate to saysowhen
he was unable to ‘adequately re-
spond to an inquiry concerning

particular bills of very individual.

interest; that the subjects discus -
sed involved thecposition in rela-
tion to taxes on textbooks, conver-
sion of certain state colleges to
universities, partisan accusations
during and after the recent elec-

ion, and even direct inquiry ,as to
“William W. Scranton’s individual

aspirations for 1966 and 1968.

Teaching Careers

Discussed at Tea.
By Headmistresses

Undergrad’s continuing program
of Job Opportunity Teas presented
Miss Mary Carter,. Principal of
Radnor High School, and Miss
Margaret Speer, Headmistress of
the Shipley School yesterday after -
noon in the Common Room.

Miss Carter spoke first, des-
cribing the practice teaching pro-
gram at Radnor High School, in
which many Bryn Mawr girls have

and are participating. She also

stressed the many.new techniques

-in' teaching such as television,

team teaching, language labs, and
the rise of college-level courses
in secondary schools.

Miss Speer stated that the dif-
ference between public and private
schools may not be the difference
between public and private, as
much as that between large and
small. In quoting-from a question-
naire attempting to evaluate teach-
er reaction to teaching, she stated
that there seemed to be little dif-
ference between the replies of the
public and private school teachers.
She also added that the most com-
mon disadvantage cited, that of
dissatisfaction with administra-
tion, was not necessarily confined
to teaching, and thus not a specific
SE Oa

Following the formal question-
answer period, ‘*open house’ was
held in all the state departments
of government. Students were in-
vited to pursue.the issues which
interested them in discussion with
the various secretaries and direc-
tors ‘of the State departments.

The Honorable Walter Alessan-
droni, the Attorney General, fur-
ther demonstrated the frank open-
ness characteristic of, the
Conference in speaking of the prac-
tical aspects of the textbook ‘tax
audits mechanical difficulties, the
Liquor Control Board and the State
law concerning this matter , andthe
question of the magistracy and the
backlog of cases, particularly in
large cities.

Dr. Rien Presents

Anti-Poverty Talk
In League Series

By Roberta Smith

Dr; Martin Rien of the Bryn
Mawr School of Social Work spoke
Tuesday in the Common Room on
the recent Anti-Poverty legis-
lation. His lecture was sponsored
by League.

Dr. Rien sought to present an
objective analysis of the program
and to give a‘‘framework for look-
ing into its organization.’’ He
presented both the advantages and
disadvantages of the Bill, and
pointed out criticism from both
the left,and right.

Criticisms. of the bill, he re-
marked, range from the accusation
that the bill was designed merely
as a vote-getter and (as one
Socialist says) as a ‘‘mocking
and a fraud” to the assertion that
the ‘*War on Poverty’’ is becoming
a ‘‘War on the Poor,’’ seeking to
bring pressure on _ deprived
classes.

Dr. Rien went on to show how
the new bill is, in its different.
aspects, both a departure from and
a continuity of past legislation, in
the field of.poverty. It differs from
the ideas exemplified in New Deal
legislation in’that it seeks to pro-
vide genuine ‘‘equality of oppor-
tunity’? rather than simply income
security.

The emphasis on ‘‘inculcating
good work habits,’”? and thus re-
ducing the dependency of a poten-
tially productive portion of our
society is an idea carried over
from New Deat legislation.

He went on to outline the basic
structure of the Bill itself, a
two-faceted program which will
seek to combat ainemployment by
providing opportunities and job
training for young people and by

facilitating community action
against poverty.
‘We periodically rediscover

poverty,’’ said Dr. Rien -- and
this he believes is the most signi-
ficant contribution of the new bill
-- by bringing the problem of
poverty into the public eye, it will
lead to new and better solutions to .

_.an ever-present question. Fi
