An Early Start.

The approach of Thanksgiving Vacation brings up a perennial problem
for the home-bound Bryn Mawrter. Required attendance at the last
class before . vacation is not. only an inconvenience, but frequently.
istance. seit #

after the last scheduled class

es the greatest problems. Labs





Thanksgiving vacation, which be
rather than ata specified hour, cai

_ or late afternoon classes frequently make it impossible for-students to ~

get home in time for Thanksgiving, due usually to bad travel connections.

Signing out of the last class is a necessary evil. The faculty is quite
justified in ‘insisting upon this rule“for fear of empty classrooms on
the last day of lectures. But the problem can be largely alleviated
without. abolishing the procedure of signing out.

If the beginning of Thanksgiving vacation could be put on the same
basis: as Christmas vacation, that is, starting for all students at
12:45 p.m. on the day before Thanksgiving, rather than‘at the end of
the last scheduled class, many ,of the problems would be relieved.
Students and faculty alike could make resonable travel arrangements ,
including taking advantage of rides from other schools, and get away
early enough to enjoy a real vacation..

Establishing a campus-wide time- for Set vacations would
require no major surgery on the academic schedule, nor would it |
_affect class attendance at the last lectures. And ‘it would be a- ‘great
convenience to both faculty and students.

November. Third

The election is over. President Johnson has “anand landslidingly ©
victorious, losing only five Dixiecrat states which. have until now
constituted one of the Democrat’s major party problems.

Johnson’s election fulfills a prediction made by James Reston last
November -- that the American people would place themselves under
moderate leadership, conservative, but not radidally conservative.
Kennedy’s death fostered a great desire to preserve the status quo,
to slip into, rather than stride towards the New Frontier. It spread
a cover of fear over the country, and the fear remained to dominate

the Presidential campaign. Many people, afraid of Goldwater’s extreme





_ and dogmatic views or of Johnson’s stand on. civil rights,.cast their os

votes for the other: candidate, the. one who least threatened their

. security.

~ One of Johnson’s many problems .is to work snbeicih the fear that

elected him. The government. must make substantial progress in the .

civil. rights and space. programs,.as well as. in foreign-relations ,-in—

-the next four years, and~ must do this in spite of the conservative

temper of the nation. The time demands progress; the people, tran-
quility. Johnson’s administration faces the dilemma of having to try

to embrace both.
Witless an.

Well, Havectord has done it again.
Stealing -hall signout .books, a matchless Hallowe’en trick, was.the
latest manifestation of Haverford’s own peculiar sense of humor.

« boys. We, however, find it singularly -unamusing. It inconvenienced

a great number of students, especially hall presidents. It repre-

’ sented a particularly unwelcome invasion of privacy. But.most impor-

tant, it potentially endangered students: whose whereabouts could only
be known by their signouts.'

Haverford also exhibited its iii a sense of timing in this prank.
October 31, the night of the theft, was also the night of the Bryn
Mawr-Haverford Sophomore Weekend Boatride, for which Bryn Mawr

students had special 3:30 a.m. late permissions “if it had been imper- —

ative to reach a student on that evening, it would have been impossible
_ until’ she returned, possibly at 3:30. But if a student had been unable
“to return to her hall at 3:30, for any reason, there was no record of

her absence iy no- pieces ” _— = for hér. This second onl

Since this particular incident has sid it might be worth-
while to take some steps to avoid its recurrence. Perhaps Haverford
boys. might be informed- of the purpose—of. our signouts; i.e. that-of.-~last-week, the vote originally stood

contacting students in cases of real emergency and in checking the

‘safety of each student.. Perhaps it might also be stressed that signout

books are private documents, not public reading material.
A final distressing aspect of this*theft was that it was done by~

“Haverford freshmen. Although these freshmen might not have ‘been.

as well acquainted with Bryn Mawr sigrout procedure as Haverford
upperclassmen, they must surely have been indoctrinated with the
Haverford attitude of theft as ‘‘amusing’”? and Bryn Mawr’s equally

lenient ‘aétitude tn. accepting 4t. This attitude thay also be worth con-
