Undergrad Members Consider B ryn Mawr Obtains $10,000,000
Reorganization of College Inn
Remodeling and reorganizing the
College Inn, a topic of conversa-
tion among nearly everyone on
campus for some time now, was
a main point of discussion at the
Undergrad meeting Monday.
Those present at the meeting
voiced once again the usual dis-
satisfactions with the Inn as it
presently is. That the Inn be open
more continuously is, in- their
opinion, the most necessary im-
provement, ~The problem of hav-
ing neither enough waitresses nor
a hostess available at all times
now prevents longer serving hours.
Also, uses of the Inn are pres-
ently limited because of. students
in residence there,
With the completion of Erdman
by next fall and the subsequent
removal. of the need to utilize the
Inn as an emergency dormitory,
however, many alterations will be
possible. Exactly what the changes
will be is still uncertain, but those
at the meeting considered several
specific suggestions. First.of all,
a snack bar system -- one which
would eliminate the waitress pro-
blem -- could be installed. The
downstairs rooms could be re-
furnished and redecorated with
One to contain a juke box.

At First Seminar
The Bryn Mawr Social Action
Committee seminar on ‘The
Meaning of a Liberal Arts Educa-
tion’? will open with author David
Boroff’s address, ‘*Campus
U.S.A.,’? Thursday, February 18
at 8:30 p.m. in the Common Room.
_ The purpose of the seminar isto
promote campus discussion, The
Social ‘ Action Committee feels
that many students plod passively
through their four years of col-
lege without being affected by any-
thing going on outside the class-
room. SAC hopes to fight this
kind of apathy, using the seminar
as a start.
The seminar will continue with
lectures on the position of the
college in modern society. ‘‘In
Loco Parentis’’ is the title of the
lecture scheduled for February
23; it will be followed by talks
on ‘The Philosophy of Educa-
tion’? (March 2), given by Mrs.
McCaffrey, representing Bryn
Mawr, and by a representative of
Sarah Lawrence. Further lectures
will discuss *‘University Reform’’
(March 9), and the responsibilities
of *“‘The University in the Com-
munity’? and of ‘‘The Student in
Society’? (March 18 ard 25).
The Social. Action Committee
has also reserved a shelf inside
the library. Reserve Room doot
for seminar participates, contain-
ing bibliographies on the seminar
topic and information on other
SAC programs. SAC will post an-
nouncements of meetings and lec-
tures under the Alliance bulletin
board in Taylor, andhas scheduled
regular meetings every other
Tuesday at 5 p.m. in the Under-
- grad. Room,

place for atelevision lounge. There
could also be on the second floor
a filing room for student organ-
izations and one lounge with books
and an exam file. On the third
floor, the rooms could be used
for low cost by visiting dates.
Possible additions to the: menu
include fresh fruit, eanned fruit
juices, cheese, French fries and
ice cream cones. On Sunday morn-
ings, the Inn could make avail-
able a buffet breakfast of coffee,
juice and doughnuts.
A specially appointed commit-
tee will formulate the ideas dis-
cussed at the meeting into definite
suggestions and submit them to

Dean Marshall speaks at the College Assembly.
Via Ford Foundation Challenge
Bryn Mawr has met the terms
of its Ford Foundation Challenge
Grant six months ahead of the
deadline set by the Foundation.
Speaking for President McBride,
Dean’ Marshall announced at a
special, all-College assembly
Thursday afternoon in Goodhart,
that the grant was matched... .
Simultaneously, a letter from
Miss McBride informed all alum-
nae that the College has raised
$7,500,000 to match the Foun-
dation’s grant of $2,500,000,
Bryn Mawr is one of ten uni-
versities “and 47 colleges in the
Ford. Foundation’s Special Pro-
gram in Education, The program
provides funds for private col-
leges and universities to ‘‘reach
and sustain new levels of academic
excellence, administrative effec-
tiveness and financial support.’’
To obtain the full amounts of
the grants, the recipients are re-
quired to match the Foundation’s
funds in varying ratios by-raising
funds from other private sources
over a three-year period.
Bryn Mawr asked for, and now
will receive, $2,500,000, the. larg-
est. sum available to small col-
leges. The matching terms were
set at three to one, ultimately
providing the College with $10,-
000,000,
Other, and larger, colleges did
not request so large a sum be-
cause of the difficulty of meet-
ing the matching terms. Bryn
Mawr is one of only twelve col-
leges in the country receiving the
maximum grant. Miss McBride
explained the size of our re-
quest; commenting, ‘*We knew it
would be a big job, but Bryn
Mawr deserves nothing less than
the best.’”
Miss McBride attributed the
success, of the largest fund drive
in the history of Bryn Mawr to
the woh of alumnae .all over
the country, with a record seventy
percent of the 8,500, alumnae mak-
ing contributions, An unusually
large number also participated
actively in organizing and carry-
ing out the drive.
Most of ‘the $10,000,000 . fund
has already been earmarked for
College improvements, ° including
salary ‘increases for faculty and
staff, the new physical sciences
building, and the proposed addi-
tions to the library.
The grant will also help finance
such diverse projects as_ the
major .study of the curriculum
now being completed, archeolog-
ical excavations in southwestern
Turkey, and the summer study
programs at Avignon and Madrid.
Undergrad Initiates New Plan
For Selecting NSA Alternate
Members of Undergrad decided
Monday night to revise the method
by which the alternate representa-
tive to the annual NSA conference
is selected.
In past years, the delegate sent
to NSA has been the vice-president
Freshman Show ‘Another T hriller’-
Rotten to the Core Out-
Susan Rotroff refuses to be out-
done by Sean Connery. As Prome-
theus Bond in ‘*Rotten to the Core,
another Prometheus Bond Thril-
ler,’? she outfights, outloves, and
outflexes James in any of his most
thrilling adventures.
Inspired by his adoring secre- ,
tary, Icebox (Janet Kole), he em-
barks on a voyage through: the
ages in search of the apple, the
first symbol of evil in the world.
His search begins with the help
of the three muses (Maryann
Beverly, Mary Farrell, and Myra
Skluth) in the Garden of Eden,
*twhence cometh the rape of the
apple.” ‘Adam and Eve (Beth Chad-
wick ‘and Joyce Lincoln) enter-
tain him. with the story ‘of the
serpent, apple pie (‘‘heh heh’’),
and a fancy dress ball.
Clues lead Prometheus to en-
tangling alliances with a bevy of
prehistoric lovelies and other in-
ventions of ‘*modern’’ science.
The plot is further enhanced by
five devious spies (Eddie Beren-
befg, Lauren Levy, Emily Mc-
Dermott, Marcia Ringel, and Lau-
rie Sullivan), an eccentric artist ©
(Cindy Ayers) and his shrewish
mother, Mrs. Van Gogh (Lois Port-
ny). Margie Westerman’s role can-
not be revealed until opening night.
Thanks to Director Lynne
Meadow, it all comes all right.
The script was written by Laurie
Deutsch and. Marcia. Ringel, in-
corporating ideas from Wendy Fein
and Janet Kole. Music and lyrics
were written by Laurie Deutsch,
Wendy Fein, Janet Kole and Marcia
Ringel. Music has been orches-
trated Ay Wendy Fein; she and
Lauri¢é Deutsch are music direc-
tors. The orchestra consists of Pat
Pastore, piano; Ann.Gero and Lu-
cinda Vandervoort, violins; Becky
Millard, flute; and Dinah Parker,
French horn. The chorus numbers
have been choreographed by Liz
Schneider with assistance from
Bonds Bond
Mary Farrell and Paula Schochet
sustaining the ‘‘musical extrava-
ganza’’ effect. Others working on
the production end are Fran Wel-
son, production secretary, and
Sandy Slade, prompter.
Lynne Meadow, director, ex-
plained she was in such a frenzy
that she could not offer further
comment, except that the scintil-
lating theme of evil is carried
out through the entire production
through music dance, and inter-
mittent surprises. , L..D..

of Undergrad and the alternate has
been a member of Self-Gov. As a
result of the decision made Mon-
day, the alternate need no longer
be from Self-Gov. Only one arbi-
trary qualification is now required;
‘the alternate must be a member of
the incoming junior class.
Any incoming junior who wishes
to be the alternate to the con-
ference will be eligible to apply
for the positions Undergrad and
_,Self-Gov: will then jointly choose
the alternate from among the appli-
cants.
* \
The necessity for the require-
ment that the alternate be an in-
coming junior is obvious. Bryn
Mawr cannot benefit from the ex-
periences of its delegates to NSA
if those delegates are not aware
of the basic procedures of the
conference, The new plan will pro-
vide for the delegates to acquire
this basic knowledge since, be-
‘ginning two years after the method
is put into effect, there will be
three students on campus each
year’ who have attended NSA and
will be able, therefore, to advise
newly chosen delegates.

The Ford Grant
Meeting the terms of the Ford Foundation’s grant marks a high point
in the history of Bryn Mawr. The $10,000,000 with which it provides the
College will help accomplish a number of essential improvements and
finance important new projects. Without the money, the physical sciences
building and the library expansions now being planned would probably
be impossible. Nor could higher faculty salaries, so necessary to bring
to and keep at Bryn Mawr the. best scholars and teachers, be feasible.
It is largely the grant that will make all this reality.
But the grant did not become reality without ‘” great deal of hard
work. A large measure of appreciation is due all those who worked to
see the grant matched. In particular, Miss McBride, the alumnae com-
mittee chairmen, and many committee members worked ‘devotedly for
almost three years, organizing the fund drive and soliciting contribu-
tions. They have our thanks. <
The most gratifying aspect, however, is the overwhelming response
of alumnae to the plea for funds. A remarkable seventy percent of all
living alumnae have contributed in some way, sending the drive over
the top a full six months under the three-year deadline, Pledges are
still arriving regularly, fndicating that the fund will surpass its goal
before the expiration date. If the charge of apathy has often been levied
at the undergraduate student body, it certainly cannot be applied to
those who have left Bryn Mawr for the ‘‘Outside World.’”? Thousands
of graduates, recent and not-so-recent,. seem still to feel interest in
Bryn Mawr and to be willing and eager to help the College. Perhaps
there is a lesson in this for us here.
Heart of Darkness
is for Bryn Mawrters who are moaning
is for the escorts, who are none
is for sweet memories of males
is for our yulogies to fun

is for each evening we’ve spent dateless
is for nobody ever ca’‘ling
is for the typical Haverford boy
is for indifference to mixers
is for new faces we’d enjoy
is for the-end of socia] bother
Because these circumstances leave us lonely

~The Test Drive
_ Vive la révolution!
Translation: Hurray for the driving oulet
The rule, which is now in effect, is just cause for jubilation, Although,
judging from the number (twelvé, so far) of cars on Vee Wathen’s
registration list, the group it serveswill be a small minority of the col-
lege body, the rule itself is a long-needed measure.
As it stands now, the driving rule is less than perfect, calling for
parking beyond a mile from the school, Hopefully, this clause will be
temporary, as Self-Gov. President Emily Bardack is investigating al-
ternate possibilities for next year. Inthe meantime, this part of the_rule,
however inconvenient, remains necessary. owing to the shortage of
campus and near-campus parking space and should not be abused,
Overshadow ing this drawback is the especially commendable fact that
the rule has been institutedwithout the usual academic strings attached.
In the laissez-faire spirit which characterizes so manyof Bryn Mawr’s
regulations, the rule covers all students regardless of academic average.
This point, which is one of the best aspects of the rule, is also its
potential weakness, but only if Bryn Mawr students prove it to be; If
not abused, car permission will serve as it is intended, to expedite
matters both social and scholastic (e.g. Princeton, library included,
is only about an hour away) and further facilitate exchange on both levels
with other schools. Otherwise, Bryn Mawr can take its place in the long
lists of gloomy statistics which demonstrate the evil effects of car
privileges on erstwhile-budding scholars,
The new rule has yet to be tested. Please--let’s be different--and
prove the worth of such a privilegéfor responsible students, to skeptical
m2Z-HAwzmre
parents and statistics-~minded educators, and last, but certainly not least,
to ourselves.

‘Campus Morality,’ Honor Systems
Discussed On Princeton Broadcast
By Anne Lovgren
Bryn Mawr’s social and .aca-
demic honor system-prevoked.con-
siderable comment in adiscussion
of ‘Campus Morality’’ by student
press and broadcasting represen-
tatives. Vassar, Columbia, Mary-
mount, University of Pennsylvania,
Princeton and Bryn Mawr par-
‘ticipated in the program, broad-
cast over Princeton’s radio sta-
tion, WPRB,
I went to the discussion ex-
pecting an hour long rehash of an
already hackneyed topic (a la
TIME, LOOK, etc.) Surprisingly,
this was not the case, The term
“Campus Morality’? was almost
immediately thrown out, or rather
scorned out of the discussion. Most
members of the panel agreed that
a definition of their campus’
morality was both impossible and
absurd,
The mention (of academic
integrity, or morality, opened de-
bate on the effectiveness and fea-
sibility of honor systems, Students
from: the large universities, felt
that at those institutions an aca-
demic honor system would not be
workable.
' The Columbia represengaté:>
commented that a professor there
had taken a poll in one of his
classes on whether or not Colum-
bia should adopt an honor system.
In counting the ballots he dis-
covered that one student had voted
three times -
academic honor system.
The Princeton panelist and I,
however, agreed that at both our
institutions academic honor sys-.
tems were effective - but for some-
what different reasons.
The Princetonian argued that
Princeton students may consider
their academic integrity part of
the honor of the school, while
I answered that the philosophy
of Bryn Mawr’s academic honor
system was more dependent on
the personal academic integrity
of each student.
Panelists who felt that honor
systems would not work at their
schools argued that academic
pressures might well lead to cheat-
ing which would lower the standing

Opinions on a social honor sys-
ionipespecially one involving.as
much freedom as ours, covered
an even wider range. The, Penn
representative admitted that a so-
cial honor system there would be
totally ineffective. The Marymount
panelist asserted that an eighteen
year old freshman had not enough
experience to formulate her own
morality and needed more super-.
vision’ by her college than would
a senior. She was somewhat sur-.
prised at Bryn Mawr’s lack of
class distinction in its rules.
Other panelists, myself included
felt that college was part of the
‘‘weaning process” and that a per-
son attending college’ should be
responsible enough to formulate
her own morality.
The panelists agreed that the
university had some role indeter-
mining its students’ morality. This
influence, we felt, is largely ex-
pressed through its regulations on
students. Parietal hours and ‘‘dis-
credit .clauses,’? indigenous to
nearly every school, were thought
the most obvious of these. Bryn
Mawr was unique in the respect
that its rules and influences on
morality were made by the student
. body,

7 ‘Barefoot Intellectuals’
by Karen Durbin
MADEMOISELLE, the magazine
which two years ago dubbed Bryn
Mawrters ‘‘barefoot intellectuals’’
has recently appointed five more
students to its College Board,
thus swelling our ranks to seven
in the world of chic.
The seven girls who will re-

Chorus Programs,
Library Additions
The College Interfaith Assoc-.
iation has invited choruses from
several schools and collegesinthe
area to participate in programs
of sacred music and meditation
at Bryn Mawr on Sunday after-
noons. The first of the series -
was held on December 13 in the
Main Reading Room of the Library
from 12 to 1. A campus group
sang, and it was well-attended.
Although a chorus has’ not been
definitely scheduled, another pro-
gram is planned for Sunday of the
week following Freshman Show
Weekend.
All interfaith speakers and
presentations for the rest of this .
year have been decided upon. The
next visiting speaker will come
on Monday, February 22. He is
“Mr. Zafrullah Kahn, former mem-
ber of the United Nations Security
Council and a present judge at the

The projects are a varied lot:
LINDA KEISTER first submitted
an article on the “‘identity crisis’’
in colleges like Bryn Mawr and
followed with a children’s story
as copy for a picture book.
MARY LOU KJELDSEN entered
a pottery selection of Christmas
tree ornaments and medieval re-
ligious figures, and is now working
on an illustration of Renaissance
fashion in modern dress.
CALLIE MACNAIR received a
$20 encouragement award for her
first project, a plan based on the
Arts Council Bulletin Board, Her
second is still in process.
JODY STROM first presented
an article on political apathy at
small liberal arts colleges and
followed with a parody of ‘‘college
life’? in the form of a newspaper
layout,
JANE WALTON submitted a plan
for the magazine’s parody issue
based on Alice in Wonderland and
is now working on a decorator’s
scheme for a college room:
Last year, Connie won her posi-
tion on the board with an article
on fashion trends at Bryn Mawr,
featuring, appropriafely enough,
the ‘‘peasant look.’?
Betsy’s entries last year in-
cluded essays on Bryn Mawr humor
and scape-goats and reprinted
NEWS articles.

‘Independence From Haverford No Loss’
Review Demonstrates BMC Creativity
By Caroline MacNair, '65
This winter’s Bryn Mawr RE-
VIEW is the least pretentious one
that has been produced on this
campus during the past three
years, In it can be glimpsed the
range and variety of the creative
exhalations which waft through the
campus rooms, both class - and
bed-rooms, during the semesters,
There appear representative and
selective efforts from both our
talented, and our well-intentioned
artists and writers,
Independence from Haverford is
no loss. The absence of self-
effacing mutterings of identity cri-
ses in Chinese rest-rooms is only
noticeable in retrospect. Also not
unhappily missing are the essays
and research papers that used to
trail their foot-notes and biblio-
graphies across reams andreams,

cratically selected and arranved;

Between Freud and Religion
By Laura Krugman
Rabbi Arnold M, Shevlin lec-
tured on ‘A Psychiatric Approach
to Religion’’ for Interfaith Wednes-
day; February 3. His talk covered
the areas of conflict and agree-
ment shared by psychiatry and
religion,
Freud opposed religion, calling
it ‘‘the universal obsessional neu-
rosis of man.” Religion, in turn,
at first accused psychoanalysis
of sanctioning the abandoment of
moral codes,
Although no reconciliation be-
tween orthodox religion and psy-
choanalysis is possible, there are
relations between psychiatry and
liberal religion. Both deal with
the same human problems of sin
and guilt, emphasizing help for
the disturbed and appreciation of
the unity of the worid.
The friction between psychiatry
and religion has many sources.
Some. psychiatrists regard all re-
ligion as an illusion, with. God
only an enlarged father. figure.
Psychotherapists sometimes claim
that they find neurotic symptoms
“close to religious manifestations.
They interpret this observation
as proof that psychotic and re-
ligious behavior can be identical.
Religion bases its objections to
Freudian theory on the grounds
that it gives too great a role to
sex, reveals man’s sensual nature,
and therefore undermines moral-
itys .“
Psychiatry.aims to cure disease
and cultivate a well-jntegrated
personality for man. Religion hopes
to help man achieve ‘a good and
moral life. These goals arecomp- .
lementary, not contradictory. One
deals. withthe psyche, the other
with the spirit. - ts
The two disciplines have sep-,
arate approaches to the same ob-
jective, The minister or rabbi
is committed to a value system,
so he must take a stand when he
recognizes evil, He has aright and
a duty to rebuke. When the psy-
chiatrist, however, deals with a
patient, he must remain aloof from
judgmental behavior.
While one is a spiritual leader
involved in the lives of the mem-
bers of his congregation, the other
must isolate himself as much as
is necessary. The psychiatrist is
trained to handle reactions of the
patient, while the clergyman is not.
The latter, however, can give the
personal help apsychiatrist cannot
provide.
Rabbi Shevlin also distinguished
between orthodox and liberal re-
ligions. Orthadox religion may en-
hance man’s guilt feelings, while
liberal religion tries to help man
to channel his emotions and pro- ”
mote his maturing-process.

I was once’ again nervous as I

happily unjust, as I realized how
remarkably the author captured
and expressed the attitude of the
too-familiar pretentious: or pedan-
tic pseudo-intellectual who must
criticize the work of great wri-
ters such as Pound, or Words-

such verbal barrage will elevate
their own value.

“The Finest Hours’’, a skillful
retelling of the life of Sir Winston
Churchill, was first released in
England over a year ago. Thus, in
spite of his recent death, it is
not intended as an obituary, nor
as a celluloid eulogy, nor can it
serve as such even now. For,
as the film points out so well,
Sir Winston’s own life will con-
tinue to prevail as the only viable
memorial to his greatness.
As the producers of**The Finest
Hours’? have been astute enough
to realize, the most a film can do
is to sensitively arrange the events
of this monumental life, no small
task in itself. It is the technique
with which the task is done that
makes the film such an admirable
one,
In. this context . of living
greatness, one sees Sir Winston
from his earliest days as a man
of unconquerable enthusiasm and
action asa voracious reader though
an abysmal student, as an eager
young student of military science,
and as a dangerous correspondent
during the Boer War .-. with an
embarrassingly -
his head. The bulk of the film,
however, is based on Churchill’s
own series, ‘*The Second World
War’,
The monumentality of this
series mirrors the events of those
dark years, conveyed by a great
deal of newsreel footage, and
actual reading from Sir Winston’s
own history. Many still shots also
contribute to the film, as, for
example, the reconstruction of the
Peace Caveat to Talk
= Philippine Experiences
Miss Ann Gallagher, a Peace
Corps volunteer who returned from
the Philippines last July, will
speak at Bryn Mawr Monday, Feb-
ruary 15. A resident of Upper
Darby, she graduated from Rose-
mont: College in 1962 with a BA
in English Literature,
Her first year in the Philippines
she taught remedial English and
English as a secondary language
at Noilo Normal School, a teachers’
college in Iloilo, During the second
year she taught elementary school
in a rural village about twenty
miles from Iloilo.
Iloilo has a population of about
46,000. Miss Gallagher lived there
in an apartment with two other
volunteers, Her primary complaint
was that Iloilo had been greatly
influenced by Western civilization
"and she felt as if she were miss-
ing much of the Philippine culture.
But the second year, out in the

’ Film Biography
“Prime “Minister's wartime office,
situated seventy feet below. 10
Downing St. Typical of the film’s:
attention to detail is the picture
of Sir Winston’s direct phone to
the White House, and his neat ‘bed
in the underground quarters which
he discontentedly occupied,
But those grim times were not
able to mask the sometimes flam-
boyant, sometimes childish humor
of the man, and accordingly the
movie shows Sir Winston climbing
up a log as a boy would straddle
a picket fence, Sir Winston’s de-
light in his zippered war coveralls,
and, of course, his ubiquitous cigar
and frequent umbrella, ©
Excerpts from Sir Winston’s
works are _ read by ‘ Patrick
Wymark, whose voice so closely
approximates Churchill’s own that
it is hard,to tell who is speaking
even when actual newsreel shots
are shown, Orson Welles, himself
no slouch at self-expression, com-
pletes the memorable narration,
All in all, the film expertly
depicts the total ;versatiliiy of
Sir Winston, the lion who, ‘‘had
the luck to be called on to give-the
roar,’”? and the spirit of the tire-
less, invincible leader of England
who ‘onty painted one picture during
the entire Second World War. It
is he wha has made the phrase
‘twalking with destiny’? a part of
our language, and in this film
that walk is relived as a part
of Sir Winston’s stirring and

The reception started at 7 p.m.;
we walked into the lobby of the

reception line extended the length
of the ballroom, while white-jack-

drinks,

NSA Contribution to Kennedyana
By Nanette Holben
The late president John Kennedy
might turn over (politely) in his
“grave if he were to turn over the
pages of the National Student
Association’s publication ‘‘a tri-
bute to Kennedy from -the youth
of the World.’
The “tribute,’? in short, is
neither evolved from the integrity
of youth nor directed to the view-
point of youth. It is rather as if
the Kennedy pages from an up-
dated BARTEETT’S FAMILIAR
QUOTATIONS were torn out and
illustrated with a few photo re-
jects. And it is the epitome of
the ‘*Kennedyana*’ trend which
critic Malcolm Muggeridge de-
scribes in TIME of January 29:
*sI can only say with all possible
respect that if the late President
really was as he is here presented
-- so dedicated a public servant,
so faithful a husband and devoted
a father, so witty, learned, and
profound an orator, writer, and
thinker, so genial afriend, prayer-
ful a Christian, and enlightened a
statesman -- he is better off in =~
Heaven, where, according to an
electoral oration in Ohio by Vice
President-elect Hubert Humphrey,
we may now confidently assume
him to be.’’

repetition of a year of Kennedy

The tribute is not in bad taste;
on the contrary, it lacks any kind
of taste at all. That is, it is so

Calls for Beauty, Utility
By Pilar Richardson
A comparison between Erdman
and the New Dorm at Haverford
can only be made on a -super-
ficial level, because Erdman is not
yet finished. Basically, the New
Dorm, unofficially called Woolman
Hall, is the more utilitarian of the
two.
The New Dorm was: financed
partly through government grants,
which specify the amount of space
that. should be allotted to each
student, The rooms, in this case,
are so large that they come with-

in a tenth of a square foot of the
maximum size allowed, From per-
sonal observation, the rooms are
indeed large, and every boy. has
his own room, whether he lives
in a triple, a double or a single.
Erdman, on the other hand, has
been designed with more aesthetic
principles in mind, such as the
external triple diamond design and
interior natural lighting effects.
The rooms that the girls will
occupy are much smaller than
the “ones at Haverford, but one
must take into consideration the
fact that the rooms were rede-
signed to meet students’ requests
for such things as window seats.
The rooms in Erdmanare main-
ly singles, with the exception of
end suiteS comprised of two bed-
rooms and a living room, In the
New Dorm, the majority of the
rooms are designed as triples, in
fact there are 27 of them. Each
has three bedrooms, a smallentry
way and a livingroom, —
Another reason that the rooms
in the New Dorm seem so large
is that the closets and bureaus
are- built into a single unit,that
is set into the wall, It is diffi-
cult to tell exactly how.much space
the future occupants of Erdman
will have to work with, because
special furniture is being designed
to fit the rooms, From the con-
struction of the rooms as they
are now, one can see where desks
will be built flush to the wall.
In some rooms where one wall
seems ‘‘all window,’’ it seems
inconceivable that one would be
able to fit a couch in. However, on
second glance, one finds that, the
window seat is equal to a large
COUGH, .
In all, it does seem that the
occupants of the New Dorm have
more space to work with, but
the combination of beauty as well
as utility is infinitely preferable.

lads appeared to whisk around, on
the ice or, more realistically, fall
down a few times, (Even experts
occasionally fall. ) r
The group ‘of “about ‘fifty took
over the Cliff Thaell Studio at
City Line and Haverford Ave. for
the evening. They ranged from
absolute beginners, who clung to
the rails and then bravely ventured
a few courageous shuffles, to al-
most pro figure and hockey skaters
who. were fun to watch if-not to
emulate.
Thr rink was small -- it’s
actually a skating school -- there
were moments’ when people
wondered if they were falling less
because of increased skill or lack
of room to move. Later in the
evening the ice turned abit slushy,
but by this time every one was
supposedly a virtuoso on blades,
For the weary, there was both
rest and hot coffee, doughnuts,
pretzels, and cider. And of course
there was a chance to talk to
friends and (blush) meet new
people.
Probably. the beginners had the
-most_fun.At-least they were enthu-
siastic about trying again. Now the
AA is hoping for a Haverford
invitation to go skating on the
duck pond, as soon as winter stops
behaving like spring, that is.

Varsity
In. First
By Anne Godfrey, '65
A. A. President
The-Bryn Mawr winter spé@is:
started, off the year -with three
outstanding victories. Both the
varsity and junior varsity teams
in fencing, badminton and basket-
ball came out of their first inter-
_collegiate encounters victoriously.
The fencing team went to Goucher
Saturday and won 11-5. They were
unable to fence the normal 18
bouts because Goucher did not have
enough girls. Zdenka Kopal, the
captdin, won all four of her bouts
and led the team to victory.
The badmintonteam fared equal-
ly well against Drexel on Tuesday
and neither of our teams lost a
match, The next match is against
Ursinus,
The first basketball game was
at Gwynedd Mercy. The J.V. won
by a narrow margin of 19 to 14
but':the varsity won decisively 58
to 31. The second game against
Chestnut Hill on Wednesday brought
the first loss to the team. The
