Three Constitutional Changes Arrivals Departures Promotions:
Appointed by College Trustees Faculty Changes Are A
by Pam Barald
Three major changes in the
Self-Government Constitution sub-
mitted to the Board of Directors
by Legislature have been voted on
and passed.
As a result of these changes,
students may now have a 2 a.m.
escorted or unescorted. signout; ...
have men in the public rooms of
the halls until 12:30 on Saturday
as well as Friday, and wear ‘‘ath-
letic costume, long pants, and
shorts’’ to dinner.
The revisiofi®in the dress rule.
and a proposition to allow men in
the rooms after 6:30 p.m. were
subjects of campus-wide referenda
two weeks ago. Both were passed
by majority vote. Of the two,
only the dress rule was
considered by the Directors, The
board felt that sufficient provision
for student. safety had not been
made in the ‘¢men*in the rooms”?
bill to allow its considefation at
this time. At present, the amend-
ment. contains no precautions .to
prevent unescorted men from en-
tering the halls and wandering
about. (Since bellmaids and war-
dens are NOT members of Self-
Government, they would have no.
formal jurisdiction-over-such-un- —
escorted men).
The proposed amendment will
return.to Legislature this week for
. further consideration, and an at-
tempt--will be made to find a.
solution to the difficulty, Possibil-
ities include sign-ins and sign-outs
forall escorted--men,- After-re-
vision by the Legislature, “the
measure will again be submitted
to the Board of Directors for
consideration at its May meeting.
According: to Ellen Gross, pres-
ident of the 1963-64 Self-Govern-
ment Association, ‘‘It is practical-
ly definite that there will be a
provisional rule concerning men in
the rooms, beginning in September.
This depends, of course, on the
meeting of Legislature which takes
place this week, and the decision
made at. the meeting of the Board —
of Directors in May.’’
Such a provisional ‘acceptance
would mean that men would be
‘allowed in rooms betweeh 6:30 and
10- p.m. Sunday through Thursday
evenings~ by—-majority vote in each
hall. This ruling would go into
effect for a trial period from
Septémber 1964 to March 1965, At
that time the Board ,would con-
“sider the success of the provi-
sional resolution and vote either
to drop the rule or to make it a
permanent part of the constitution.
Of the rules passed by the Board
the dress rule and the 2 o’clock
sign-out went into effect on April
6, the first day after spring vaca-
tion, The rule concerning men in
the public rooms will gointoeffect’:
in each hall separately, asaresult
of MAJORITY VOTE in hall meet-
ings. -
The 2.-am. sign-outs and the
12:30 curfew for men in the dorms
on weekends, as well as the dress
rule, are extensions of already
existing rules. Before these rules
went into effect, Self-Gov. was able
to give special permissions for un-
escorted late sign-outsfor Prince-
-ton, _New--York,.and. for’ operas,
movies -and ballets, The 12:30Sat-
urday night curfew is also an ex-
tension, since the dorms presently
remain open until 12:30 on Friday
nights,

activity in college before their
senior year.
* The editors are hoping that -
senior pictures. can be taken this

staff. In addition, they are also
considering the possibility of pur-
chasing a Polaroid camera, which,
perhaps, could be passed on to

works in the Spring Dance Concert.
by Andrea Stark
The Spring Concert of the Bryn
Mawr College Dance Club will be
given at 8:30 the evening of Friday,
April 10. The program will consist
primarily of student. works most
of which have not been performed
. before at Bryn Mawr. —
As -in past years there will be
one major piece,conceived and
choreographed by Mrs. Ann Mason,
modern dahce teacher of the-col-
lege. The work is based on the
New Testament story of Lazarus,
with emphasis on his two sisters,
Mary. and Martha, and on their
different reactions to the death
and resurrection of ,Lazarus.
Leading roles will be danced by a
sextet as the sisters, and a larger
chorus will dance the roles of
townspeople and mourners. Music
for ‘*Mary and Martha’’ is an
original score by Lucas Mason.
There will be several folk
dances on the, program, ranging
from traditional African to a folk
suite of ‘South American dances.
American folk dance will be re-
presented: by a jazz improvisation
to.a contemporary blues score.
Perhaps the most experimental
work on:the program is a series
of short group studies for two or
three dancers. Each study was
choreographed bya different mem-
ber of the Dance Club. The concen-
tration is on form and movement
without intentional continuity be-
tween pieces. Continuity: is estab-
lished, however, by the use of
similar electronic or’ percussion
-music throughout and by short
transitional movement between in-
dividual studies.
The remainder of the concert
will be composed of modern dance
‘works more familiar'to Bryn Mawr
audiences.| Besides VIBRATO I,
Il, the short, electric piece choreo-
"graphed by Merry Monk, Sarah
x
Lawrence ’64, and performed on
Arts’ Night, the group will dance
Senta Driver’s FIGURE FOR FOR-
GOTTEN LOVES, a lyric. piece
to Bach’s Suite No. 3 in D Major.
PERSISTENCE-OF VISION, PART
I, the haunting trio seen last Arts’
Night, will be followed by part II, a
quartet in which the emotional
draught of the trio reaches new and
more disturbing proportions, Fin-
ally, there is anew trio, choreo-
graphed by Miss Driver to a score
by Igor Stravinsky. and called

All Signed Out...
So now we have two’ o’clock late permissions both escorted and.
unescorted. Great. The problem, however, is this; we’re all signed
out with no place to,go == on campus, that is,
Consider the plight of the maiden with a middle-of-the-week, pedes="
trian date. The Inn can accommodate them on Monday, Wednesdays and
Fridays until 12:30 aom,; the library.until 12 p.m., and Goodhart, until it
locks its doors at 11:30 p.m. There’s no place to study, or merely sit
and talk with a male friend from 12;30 p.m. until 2 a.m. It’s fortunate
indeed that the weather. is becoming more and more clement, because
_ perching on the man-hole covers has grown tiresome after five months
of snow. ~
Most other schools have student unions, or at least a comfortable
lounge where students’ may gather informally until their curfew hour,
The innovations at the Inn have been welcome -- as far as they have
gone, But couldn’t the possibility of keeping the Inn or the Common
Room open until 2.a.m. be considered -- seriously? rs
_ Dorm centeredness” and lack of a place to ‘take a break” are
‘almost traditional Bryn Mawr . gripes. Mightn’t these gripes be
silenced *-- or at least-muffled -- if students had some comfortable

Clapper Crisis
In spite of missing classes and having no idea when to stop writing
. exams, we applaud the underhanded pilfering of Taylor bell-clapper, It
marks the reappearance of spunk and spark on campus. This is a much-
needed innovation, But we miss it.
It was such a happy clapper, It got us to class:on time, and, more im-
portant, it got us out on time. Perhaps that was its happiest aspect,
Its absence is causing great psychological damage on campus, It has
transformed us from a race of Arcadian bell-listeners into a mob of
super-civilized clock-watchers.
Moreover, we were formerly well-trained, disciplined students, At
the sweet ‘Sound of ‘the fateful’ bell, Bryn Mawrters responded like
Pavlov’s dogs (especially at one o’clock--one pant and they were off.)
Some of us haye even been caught in the embarrassing position of
showing up for class early. This is no great resurgence of intellectual
. curiousity, but-a tribute-to-the syncopated nature of clocks on:campus, ’
Perhaps we should take up a:collection and buy the bell-ringer a
bugle. Nine o’clock would be reveille, one o’clock mess call, and after
each class--RETREAT! :
{ e
Innhospitable
A note of praise should go to the night-time hostess at the College
Inn, What .a change from the usual service, to be greeted pleasantly,
allowed informally to choose where you wish to sit, and not be badgered
about pulling up a few extra chairs to another table, The atmosphere is
‘relaxed and comfortable. One gets the impression, from this hostess,
that one is welcome at the Inn,
But what about the day-time service? ‘students are told ‘‘Not that
table, THAT table,” while strangers are ushered gracefully into the
~-inner. sanctum (i. e. the room with the table cloths and real cloth
napkins.) Even when a student appears neatly. dressed in skirt and
stockings, she is begrudgingly givera place inthis room only if the other
two rooms aré filled beyond capacity.
* Next the student is bird-watched, scowled at and told to keep quiet at
any available opportunity. (for instatice; if the student laughs.)
Students are greeted, often witha frigidity anda rudeness which would
eventually’ ‘force any. usual public restaurant to close its doors for lack
of customers. Because it ison campus and because students may wear
Slacks there, the Inn: can depend on student business“no matter how,
unwelcome they make us feel. :
As the College Inn is maintained’ by the college for the benefit of the
college, this inhospitable atmosphere is uncalled for.
Furthermore, we don’t like it. Pa ‘

_ Oberlin College Considers Adopting
The ‘Haverford Plan’
(from the Oberlin REVIEW)
Oberlin College is srantatiy-
considering the ‘“‘Haverford Plan’?
for Self-scheduled exams due to
student dissatisfaction with the
present system at Oberlin.
Their Student Council has drawn
up a resolution that suggests estab-
lishing student forums and-in- —
serting articles in their REVIEW
on the issue of self-scheduled
exams, Furthermore, the ‘*Haver-
ford Plan’ was introduced as an
issue in the. Council election cam-
.paign,
Jeff Crooks of Haverford was
interviewed by telephone and gave
an explanation of the ‘‘Haverford
Plan.’ Under this plan, the exani
period lasts ten days. During. this
time exams are scheduled twice
a day.-Before each exam, the stu-
dent picks up his exam which is
handed to him in a sealed en-
velope.
However,
some drawbacks in this plan. At
Haverford, students enrolled in
classes of more than 25. people
must schedule their exams in the
first six days of the exam period
in order to give the professors
ample time for grading. |
there..have been few infractions
of the plan, Generally, such viola-
tions arise when one-student acci-
dentally overhears another talk-
ing about an exam he has just
taken. (According to the Honor
System at Haverford, such a stu-
dent is required to turn himself
in for cheating.) These violations
are dealt with by the Haverford
Student Council.
Alan Houseman, Chairman of
the Student Educational Policy
at’ Oberlin mentioned that “SEPC
has discussed the problem of sche-
duling final exams in various fornis
over the past two years.’ This

_NSF Gives Summer Stipends _
For Students” Scientific Study .
Chuckle.....maybe_one_ of the-NSF-Summer-Scientist will spend
her time trying to discover exactly what this appartus does.
Perhaps it’s a glorified percolator? z
The Chemistry’ department has
chosen four. juniors - Ann Camp-
bell, EllenHalpern, Candy Simp-
son and Roberta Yaffe - toreceive
National Science Foundation grants
for summer research, Interested
majors were asked to sign up for
the grants, says Candy. Re-
cipients of the grants were chosen
from the ‘list strictly onscholastic
average.
Ellen~— Halpern. will definitely
accept the grant. She termed the
award of the grant “Terrific and
very flattering!’? Candy Simp-
son is- unsure whether she will
accept the grant, and Ann Camp- .
bell has declined since she was
awarded a fellowship to Woods
Hole, - an Oceanographic Institute,
Each of the girls’ will be.
assigned to a Bryn Mawr profes-
sor, with whom she will work on
~a-research project.
Students in the Psychology de-
partment will also receive NSF
grants later this spring. Dr. .
Morton Bitterman reports that
these students will serve as
“apprentices.” The nature of the
project on which they will work
is not as important as that they
each will have a specific project
‘for study.
Dr. Bitterman also said that
while the girls who are:to be
offered the opportunity of working
here this summer in the psychology
department have been Chosen,
there are several grants avail-
able, and he has not yet decided
which girls will-receive the NSF
grants.
Students selected to receive NSF
grants agreed that the work under- -
taken during the summer would be
on a full-time basis. The nature
of the research project and the
student’s academic development -
determined the tenure of the ap-
pointment.
The summer, stipend is limited
to not- more tham, $60 per partici-
pant per week, with a maximum
ten weeks support.“ ;
The National Science -Founda-
tion’s objective in providing grants

_In the COMMONWEALTH OF
ENGLAND, CharlesBlitzer has
brought together documents which
iHluminate the conflicts and per-
sonalities of the mid-seventeenth
- century in England. At first glance
Mr. Blitzer’s brief introduction is
disappointing but its silence allows
the documents to speak for them-
selves magnificently. Mr. Blitzer
| has done a fine job of -selecting-
representative documents of this
very complex period.
Contemporary writings depict
the personalities of the best known
men in politics, Here in all its
= pathos is the death of Charles I:
“Sirs, it was for-this that: now I
am come here, If I would have
given way--to,..the-power.of the. -
sword, I needed not to have come
here. And therefore: f tell you...
that I am the martyr of the peo-
ple,’’
Here too is the humanity and
compassion of Cromwell in his own
letters, taking the time during a -
campaign to tell a man ofthe death
of his son:
