Freshman Week Activities Make light

This presentation of sta-
tistics about the freshman
class and new students opens:
a series of articles. on why
students come to Bryn Mawr.
In coming issues, we will dis-
cuss what kinds of qualities
the admissions committee
expects to find in new stu-
dents. We will also talk to the
_ different new admissions about
what they expect to’ learn at
Bryn Mawr and how they ex-.
pect to learn it; in other
words, what kind of education
they are seeking at Bryn Mawr.

We hope to continue these
articles with interviews with
upperclassmen to see if: their
own freshman’ expectations
have been realized.

The group of new Bryn Mawr
admissions is diverse in back-
ground -- in its reasons for com-
ing and in what it has to offer,
reports Miss Elizabeth Vermey,
Director of Admissions for the
college,

There are 205 members in the
new freshman class, Two thirds
ofthem attended public schools,
They come from 32 states and
eight foreign countries, Fourteen

. percent are from New England,
43% from the mid-Atlantic re-
gion, 14-1/2% from the Southern
states, 15-1/2 from the midwest,
9% from the far west, and 4%
from foreign countries,

The four new foreign students
have families in Hong Kong (Martha
Liau), Korea (Young Aeun Chun),
Holland (Jeanette Swets), and Costa
Rica (Adelaida Chaverri), Several
U.S, citizens who have been living
abroad are also at Bryn Mawr
this year.

There are new students here
outside of the class of ’71, Four
doméstic transfers will be join-
ing the sophomore class; Cecilia
Jones (New York University),
Jeanne Lunin (State University of
New York at Stony Brook), Linda
Perrotto (Albert Magnus College),
and Susan Snyder Om York Uni-
versity).

There are eight eulet seniors
this year, A guest senior is a
student from another college who
gets her degree there, but who
spends her senior year at Bryn
Mawr, This year they are Dorothy
Federman (Barnard, Carole
Greene (Smith), Ellen Greenhouse
(Smith), Celia Newell - (Smith),
Laura Reale (Wellesley), Alexine
Roane (Wheaton), Carol Starrels
(Wellesley), and Dorothy Jackson
(Mt, Holyoke).

Approval Expected On 8 A.M.’s In Oct.
Directors Stipulate Four Month Trial

The Committee of the Board of
Directors has apprved the 8 a.m.
sign-out. This is the beginning of
the end of the confusion over Bryn
Mawr’s social honor system. t
In the course of last year’s con-
stitutional revision an attempt was
made to clarify the social code of
behavior on the campus while hon-
estly realizing that most of the
phrases used in the discussion had
become cliches. .

: &

With the abolition of curfew
hours at Haverford, it became ap-
parent that a number of Bryn Mawr
students were spending the night
in Haverford dorms, Was such
behavior ‘‘legal’?? Was it detri-
mental to the Bryn Mawr commun~-
ity? Does the community have a
right to legislate in such personal
affairs? What, after all, is a com-
munity? These were among theis-

sues which the campus confronted .

last spring when it voted on the
revised constitution.

~The. most. significant. questions
which that vote dealt with were
those of the Haverford overnight,
and the 8 a.m. sign-out. Both
problems were ultimately re--

duced to the conflict between the
rights of an individual and the de-
mands of the community within
i that individual functions.

y should a student be com-
pelled to return to her hall at 2
a.m.? By the time a girl reaches
college age, she must be con-
sidered capable of handling her
own affairs, A 2a.m. curfew is an
artificial protection which society
will not afford its members ‘‘out
in the world.” Such arguments
were countered by both theoret-
ical and practical considerations.
There were those who argued that
the college years, with their ‘‘ar-
tificial’? guides, offer the de-
veloping individual an ideal op-
portunity to expand and explore
without social temptations which
she perhaps could not yet handle
and which could seriously injure
her maturation, Financial prob-
lems, too, figured in the counter-
arguments. The college simply
could not afford additional lantern-
men to patrol the grounds and open
hall doors from 2 to 8 a.m.

.In_ the final vote last spring, the
8 a.m. sign-out was approved by
the campus in a vote of 297 to 72.
The 10:30 p.m. sign-out, a cum-.
bersome rule usually applying to

campus buildings, was eliminated.
Most of the limitations on the loca-
tion of sign-outs were removed,
Men were to be allowed in the
public rooms, if a hall so de-
sired, until 12:30 a.m. during the
week and until 2 a.m. on week-
ends. Restrictions on clothing per-

A Letter From The Freshman
Week Chairmen.
Hi Class of *71,

We’re really glad you are
finally here and we'd like to pass

on a few things we haven’t had

a chance to say before.

This evening you are in-
vited to a gracious (non-
grub) buffet dinner at Haver-
ford, after which the Guides,
a favorite campus group, will-play
at an outdoor dance. You will be
met by Haverfordfreshmen at your
dorm and escorted over to their
campus. We hope that during the
trek you’ll have an opportunity
to get acquainted. These arrange-
ments were an innovation to
the Freshman Week calendar last
year and were so successful that
we decided to continue them (in
the hopes that they will be equally
successful for ’711).

The picnic Saturday after-
noon will have: several new
twists. It will be held on Merion
Green and there will be various
activities around Bryn Mawr such
as volleyball, badminton and mixed
doubles in tennis. The food serv-
ice is boasting a sensational
menu.

Tomorrow evening ‘«Charade”
will be shown (free) in the BMC
Gym, Dress for this occasion will
be informal, bermudas or
levis, as you will be sitting on
the floor.

Finally,
plain that

we wanted to ex-

we planned many .
events in conjunction with
Haverford because the two
schools are so closely aligned
both academically and socially. We
felt that you would want to get to
know all those students who will
be sharing the BMC community
with you. On the strictly social
side however, next Sunday after- -
noon there will be a mixer
with University of Pennsylvania
and later in the fall, we hope
to entertain Lehigh.

We have had lots of fun
planning all the Freshman Week
activities and hope that you will
enjoy taking part in them. Their
success, of course, depends on
your spontaneity and participation.

Best wishes for a happy year!

PATTY, DEB, AND BONNIE
P.S. Good luck in keeping your
song a secret!

Alumnae Association Moves
From Deanery to Wyndham

**No, I don’t think it’s sad,
I think it’s exciting,’’ said
Mrs. Barbara Thatcher about the
tearing down of the Deanery and
the move to Wyndham.

Mrs. Thatcher, president of
the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Associs-
tion, then pointed out the

‘falling plaster and the leaks evi- .

dent around the Deanery. His-
toric though the building is,
it is getting too expensive
to maintain and somewhat un-
comfortable to live in.

The Deanery was one of the
original campus buildings when
the college opened in 1885. It is
noteworthy, however, not for its
age, but for its furnishings,

yD

collected by M. Carey Thomas on
her many travels. First dean of
the college and second president,
Miss Thomas lived in the Deanery
for almost five decades. She ex-
panded it from five rooms
to 46, and made it a gracious
setting for guests and alumnae.

The furnishings and hangings
in the Blue Room will probably
remain intact, possibly trans-
ferred directly to a room
in the old library, which will be
renovated as the new wing is
built. The bulk of the others will
be moved to the new alumnae
house, Wyndham. Some, though,
may not be found to be appro-.”

pean teenyboppers, scholars, hippies and
Future Mothers of America, Welcome to Bryn
Mawr, sometinics described.as an oasis of learn-
ing in a vast cultural and intellectual wasteland,

In the welcoming speeches you have already heard

and will yet hear you have undoubtedly been
called the best class ever to come here, Every!
class hears this. Every year, Bryn Mawr,
recruits better and better students, on the theory’
that this makes Bryn Mawr a better and better
school, This is for you to judge, |

’ ‘Bright as you are, Bryn Mawr’s extracurricu-|
lar arrangements might seem a bit confusing
at first, There are a great many organizations.

Some of these are described in articles through-
out this issue, The Alliance for Political Affairs,
League, Athletic Association, Arts Council and
Curriculum Committee are called the Big Five
and make up a matrix under the Undergraduate
Association, called Undergrad, Interfaith used to
be a part of this group, but it has reverted to
its former status as a simple committee under
Undergrad, The Social Committee is another
important Undergrad committee. Undergrad
manages the overall budget and serves as a
central communications center for these or-
ganizations and committees,

Completely separate and concerned with more
fundamental matters is Self-Government. Self-
Gov has control over the social and academic
honor systems,

It is important to canon’ that these two
_ bodies, Undergrad and Self-Gov are separate,
This system is often compared with Haver-
ford’s, usually by Haverfordians emphasizing
Bryn Mawr’s clumsiness, Haverford has all
their activities, plus their honor system handled

itory. Board of Directors,

riage there were sev-

eral legitimate reasons for stay-
ing on the Haverford campus after
2am. The system whereby a

student returning after 2 a.m. is,

admitted to her hall remains tobe

worked out. Miss McBride is try- ?
ing to figure out a system which .

is not excessively expensive, but
which. must. provide maximum’
safety for girls returning between
2 and 8 a.m. The success of the
system which evolves depends en-
tirely upon the cooperation of Bryn
Mawr students, as does the future
of this new privilege. -



Because of the proximity of

Committee of the Board Of Directors’ Statement

Upon consideration of the students’ votes on new rules, and after
consultations with the officers of Student Government, the Com-~-
mittee will recommend to the Directors that the directors approve
a rule that would permit sophomores, juniors and seniors to sign
out until 8 a.m. The sign-out would be with the student’s hall
president, who would record the student’s name, her destination,
whom she would be with, how she could be reached, and when she
expected to return, Upon return, the student would be admitted
to her hall. The precise procedures. of admission remain to be
worked out, for possible procedures will differ as to efficiency
‘and expense.

‘This rule is not to be interpreted to include action that will j

reflect adversely upon the student or the college. For example,
the “rule would not saction a student signing out until 8 a.m, so
that she might spend the night in a Haverford dormitory. How-
ever the- Committee recognizes that there may be many approp-
riate social occasions, at Haverford or elsewhere, which a stu-
dent could more readily attend under the new rule.

The Committee will also recommend to the Directors that the
new rule be temporary only, and that after it has been in effect
for four months, it be reviewed sothat the Committee may inform
the Directors regarding the extend and nature of the use of the
rule, and the-incidental expense, with a recommendation regarding

_ whether the -rule should be continued, modified or eliminated.



be spirit, class togetherness or community spirit? Does the faculty see






by one group, the Students’ Council, At first,
this may seem to me a much easier and less
complex way of doing things. The NEWS it-
self has thought so. But it should be re-
membered that Haverford is a smaller school ]
than Bryn Mawr, and that boys don’t seem to #
be as addicted to forming committees as girls
are,

So greetings again. Please keep in mind
that when the Freshman Week Committee and
the deans tell you to ask questions of anyone
about anything, they mean it, Ask upperclass-
men, ask Connie in the bookstore, ask teachers,
ask Miss McBride, ask the NEWS, you could =
even ask the squirrels, They’ve been around =
longer than some of the rest of us.

Working the Trial Period

The NEWS is pleasantly surprised at the Committee of the Board ot &
Directors approval of the 8.a.m. sign-out. We are not so sure about #:
the procedures of the four month trial period. We understand that: stu- e
dents intending to use the 8 a.m. sign-out may have to ask permission : a
of the hall president. We also understand that the hall president will be :
keeping track of the number and length of stays at Haverford and : ES
elsewhere of each girl. If they are signing out and staying out too long =
and too often, the hall president may assume that the student is not # a
typing papers or attending parties, and ask that the girl ‘‘cut down’? 3:
(as one member of Self-Gov put it yesterday). Ba

These records of the hall presidents will be transmitted to Self- = =
Gov’s Executive Board. They will then be compiled and presented to & e
the Board of Directors at the end of four months, and will be used =
to determine if the new system is working. The NEWS is worried :
about what ‘‘working’? means. Does ‘‘working’? mean ‘not used’’? =
Or not used very much, or only a little, or what? :

We think ‘‘working’”? has nothing to do with the number of girls who # .
utilize the new sign-out, but rather has to do with the well-being of Ea
the college. The Board should pragmatically set out to see if the “3
dent body has been harmed by the four months trial period, Ha .
there been fantastic drops in academic efforts? Have there been =
increases in psychiatric problems? Do students notice a loss of EDs

any difference in their students?

By gathering such impressions and opinions, we believe the Board =
will have a much better idea of how the new system affects Bryn Mawr
than by keeping statistics and making records,

Alliance To

Activate,*

Awaken Political World

The Alliance for Political Af-
fairs is not really an alliance. An
alliance is a difficult proposition,
one that looks promising on paper,
but when finally it exists, it canbe
either dynamic or static.

An alliance is supposed to con-
sist of groups with differing basic
interests and goals, yet all are
directed to one basic purpose -- in
this) case, a more complete
knowledge of political affairs.

During the time of the last
Presidential election, Alliance was
a functioning group, with several
active clubs under. its umbrella,
Slowly the umbrella wears out,
leaks develop, and everything
washes away into a current. One
drop of water is just like the next.

This seems to have happened to

Bryn Mawr’s Alliance.
Specifically, in these years, we
had political clubs, as the Young

Democrats, the Young Republicans

and the Young Conservatives. We
had general interest groups, such
as the International RelationsClub.
This past year, we had a Social
Action Committee (see page 4) and
a group of 200 students working
with the Committee of Responsi-
bility "for War-Burned and War-
Injured Vietnamese Children, a
private medical aid project.

Alliance needs interested peo-
ple -- people who want to feel
informed, who think about the
world, who try to solve impossible
problems. Every drop. of water is
distinct, both drawn and repelled
by its neighbors. So are students,
drawn by common interests into
communication, ‘‘repelled’”’ by
conflicting information, but finally
joining in shared. knowledge. So a
drop becomes part of a river, @
flow of information.

Akoue Breaks Class Bar
Asks Non-Seniors To Help

You. may have heard that Bryn
Mawr is tradition personified. But
during the past few years, AKOUE
(the Bryn Mawr yearbook), which
means Listen}: in Greek, has
broken through the crusty de-
posits of former decades to be-
comé a less stilted, more alive
work of art.

By this we mean that the year-
book has changed from an unin-
spired aggregation of photographs
to a unified collage of ideas. [t
was only two years ago that can-
dids replaced formal senior poses,
reflecting the acknowledgement by
AKOUE that students are in-
dividuals, not just members of a
department, as they used to be
listed in AKOUE, —

It. has been traditional in the

past for the AKOUE staff to be
comprised of only seniors, This
year, however, we.plan to widen
our ranks to include underclass-.
men as well, particularly in the
fields of art work, advertising,

and, especially, photography.
Lack of communication between
outgoing and incoming officers has
always been an unfortunate ‘‘tradi=
tion”? at Bryn Mawr; working with

- the present editors will help elim=

inate the confusion and inexper+
ience of future editors. Further=
more, there is only limited out=
lets on this campus for them who
is interested in writing.

Please call or otherwise con
tact one of us -- via campus mail
or in person--by Sunday, Sep=
tember 24, and let us know who
you are and what you would like

to do. (For those interested in -

photography, we would be hap-
pier if you had a camera, but

even if you don’t, call anyway.) —

the liaison and official delegate

Actually, however there has been
little interest on campus about the
activities of NSA, There was no

“supported the actions and the

‘convention, held at the University
of Maryland last month..

emphasize national domestic
problems rather than international
‘affairs. This, its leaders hope,
will. enable it to keep its image
cleaner. They also plan to con-
‘centrate more on action and less

_ Marriott Food Service Arrives
~ With Innovations, Meal Exchange _

Bryn Mawr’s, second try at a
food catering service is with the

Marriott Educational Food Serv-

ice, It is a division of a large
and, to judge from its latest an-
nual report, successful company
involved in many businesses from
hotels to hospitals.

According to Mr. Jim Zielin-
ski, the Marriott food service
director at Bryn Mawr, the com-
pany’s diversification allows it
to be more efficient in each oper-
ation. So even though they only
serve six schools (as opposed. to
Saga’s some 200) they have been
able to draw on their experience
in the Marriott Hotels, their Hot
Shoppes, hospital catering, and
their in-flight catering to airlines.

The major change they are mak-
ing here is to consolidate all food
preparation to Erdman. This, their
management and production people
think, will make for excellent qual-
ity control ..and..“ consistency.
*“«Otherwise we wouldn’t do it,’’
pointed out Mr. Walter Hess, divi-
sion manager.

After the food has been pre-
pared in the Erdman kitchen (they
added some new equipment) it
will be trucked in.special hot and
cold trucks \to each dorm. Fry-
ing and some other last minute
cooking will continue to be done
in the dorms, as well as the
serving.

‘Stiident waitresses will again

be used, but at a higher rate of
pay. Waitresses will get $1.75
an hour. There will be student
waitresses in Pembroke for the
first time. Mr. Zielinski hopes
that-the waitresses will be hap-
pier, becuase they will be the
most visible link between the stu-
dents and the Marriott company.

All the regular kitchen yem-

ployees of the college and late

of Saga have been hired by Mar-
riott. This reporter was assured
that the centralization of food
preparation has not resulted in
any emplayee- lay-offs.

A meal exchange plan with sls ‘

ter Food Service and Hgverford
is in the final stages. At present
it involves two programs, an aca-
demic need to feed program and a
social need to feed program, For
Haverford students who have to
eat at Bryn Mawr for academic
reasons, Marriott has planned
that they all eat in Erdman. They
will’:be’ required to have some
kind of meal ticket, plus. be able
to produce on request their new
plastic-coated all-purpose iden-
tification cards,

The social program is now set
to increase the number of boys
allowed to eat free at Bryn Mawr
to 45 a week, 15 on Wednesday
night and 15 each on Saturday
and, Sunday. This doesn’t mean
that they can’t eat at other times
-- they can, but they must pay.

End of Deanery

(Continued from page 1)
priate to the new _ setting,
and it has not yet been decided
what to do with them. Miss Thomas
left the furnishings to the college,
but entrusted their care to the
Alumnae Association.

Some of the most valuable
items of the Deanery collection
are the glass lamps and vases
made by Louis Tiffany in the

--1870’s. Many of them are now

on display at the Philadelphia Mu-
seum of Art, in the $35,000
Tiffany Collection.

The new alumnae house will
continue to be called Wyndham.
It will not have as many rooms
for rent as the Deanery did, only
seyen..doubles with bath and one
small apartment for the manager.
The kitchen facilities will be great-

ly improved as well as the -
dining area. The new wing being

built: now will hold the kitchen,

a large dining room which can .

be partitioned into three rooms
for smaller gatherings, and a

faculty dining room on the ground
floor. The second floor will house

, the alumnae association offices

and a committee meeting room.
The new wing is being entirely
air conditioned,

This new wing is being built on
a curve around a stone terrace
and a large chestnut tree. It is
smaller than the present Wyndham
and so will not overshadow it in

any way.
The « present Wydnham 1s

renovated inside with new plumb-
ing and electrical wiring.
Wyndham itself is very old, the
central part of it was built in
1796,

The building is now about
a month behind schedule. How-
ever, the alumnae hope to
be moving into Wyndham: during
spring vacation at the latest.
Present plans call for the new
library to be open in 1969,
which means construction must
start on it in the near future.
This construction cannot begin
until the Deanery is down.



construction is still blank.

Alliance. . .

(Continued from page 2)

The goal of Alliance is to com-
municate, to expose, to activate,
to awaken and explore, to culti-
vate, to grow. The programs for
this year will be directed to this
goal, with discussions and lectures
on the national political scene, in-
ternational conflicts, the role of
students. We would like open dis-
cussions among the faculty and stu-
dents, particularly on the issue of

democracy, in government and in ©

productive common goal?

Does urban redevelopment solve
any problems?

Are political affairs predict-
able? Should: the US divide, or
change, in order to realize. de-~
mocracy?

Alliance wants to see the world
outside, and to help students in
becoming. more informed. In a
world where the amount of knowl-

edge multiplies seven times a year,

information is the beginning of the
cure for a curious mind.




The Marriott rate is $1.75 for
dinner, $1.50 for lunch and $1.25 |
for breakfast.

Marriott plans to continue to

Social Action Committee Tries To Tie

Social Problems To Students’ Concerns

The Social Action Committee
(SAC). is an action-discussion
group under the umbrella of the
general Alliance for Political Af-
fairs. Ithas worked with the Haver-
ford Social Action Committee
on many projects. - :

The purpose of SACI would
say is to make students Aware of
political and social problems which
exist in their own lives, classes,
and dorms, in the larger com-
munity of the college, or in
society. SAC tries to help students
realize how they are bound up in
these problems and toinvolve them
in action which may work towards a
solution.

Last year SAC _ sponsored
several educational programs. In
the fall we held a series of in-
formal Sunday seminars in
the dorms on issues such as black
power, the student movement, the
draft, the responsibility of intel-
lectuals. Discussions were led
mostly by Bryn Mawr or Haver-
ford professors, or people from
the Philadelphia area. A teach-
in on Vietnam was organized in

conjunction with the Spring Mobili-
zation, and we brought in
speakers such as John McDermott
(editor of Viet Report) and Tran
Van Dinh ex- Vietminh general).
To make students think about peace
in a different way, we put on a
reading of Lysistrata, a peace play
by. Aristophanes, during Vietnam
Week.

After a certain point, talking
about issues only in a removed and
intellectual way can seem
meaningless and _ frustrating,
and SAC encouraged more active
expressions of belief, Last year
we participated in several silent
vigils, in protest of the war, on
the campus and in the ville, and
in Philadelphia. Buses were sent
to the Spring Mobilization. The
vigils and demonstrations were
criticized for alienating those who
hold different opinions about the
war rather than encouraging
dialogue and changing attitudes.

They did demonstrate the personal :

concern of students in the war.

This year I think SAC could
concern itself. more with direct
action: in a community, be
it Bryn Mawr, a Main Line
high school, or South Philadelphia.
