Neither snow nor rain nor sleet nor hail shall stay these Mawrters from

the swift completion of their appointed duties. Some individual with
considerable forethought even purchased plastic streamers for the water

logged may poles.

H. R. M. Judy Zinsser
Delivers ‘Edict of May’

In true Bryn Mawr fashion, May
Day Queen Judy Zinsser spoke this
morning in a vein closely corres-
ponding to ‘‘the history and phi-
losophy of May Day from its be-
ginnings to the present day.’’

After commenting briefly on
archaic May Days, Queen Judy
traced the celebration into the
Elizabethan era, then compared

Miss McBride Generates New Catalogue,

Plots Bulb Rationing, Recharges Infirmary

Ed. note. below is the text of the
speech which Miss McBride gave
this morning at the May Day as-
sembly.

We are writing the 1964-65 cata-

logue and we have come up with
a new thrust. I wanted to let you
know.

Wwe’ve made changes wherever
we could this year because the
type is to be reset. We tried not
to say anything we had said be-
fore but we did have to repeat
‘¢philadelphia’’ and ‘*Paoli’’; and
we are also using English as our
first language.

Bryn Mawr was founded by stu-
dents in order to bring speakers
into warm buildings. It has been
increasingly successful in attain-
ing this objective and is now by
means of agrant from Ford Found-
dation seeking other forms of con-
frontation.

Beginning in fall of 1964, a new
plan will improve faculty-student
relations. It is expected to involve
some delay in the opening of the
College, and Thanksgiving dinner

will therefore be eliminated.

By the new plan, students will
move to faculty homes and apart-
ments, and faculty with minor chil-
dren will move to the residence
halls, where they will be freed for
informal faculty-student relations.
It is understood that faculty will
not be disturbed after their lights
are out. If, however, lights are out
from Sunday to Thursday, new
bulbs will be required.

In this catalogue the section on
courses has been eliminated. The
change is made because all Bryn
Mawr courses will, after Septem-
ber 1964, be those given in other
colleges. These courses must be
registered by students by July
unless they are former Bryn Mawr
Courses, in which case they must
be given off campus. Students wish-
ing to know about former Bryn
Mawr courses should consult the
Haverford College Library, Cura-
tor of Rare Books.

Scholarships formerly awarded
to Bryn Mawr students have been

legally transferred to the United
College Office of Financial Aid
and Full Time Employment, A few
scholarships can be retrieved from
colleges with computer systems
identical with the Bryn Mawr -
Haverford IBM 1620, provided
those colleges are the same col-
leges in which the student has
found a course,

A building formerly used as an
infirmary has been closed to pro-
vide a student union, The old equip-
ment of the infirmary is being
removed as rapidly as it can be
sold since this equipment is not
considered appropriate for a stu-
dent union.

No new equipment is planned for
the faculty in the residence halls,
other than the light bulbs -- which
will be furnished each Friday
morning. Students moving into
faculty housing will have certain
needs for new equipment, These
will be CONSIDERED each Fri-
day morning!

and contrasted this with the ultra
modern, mechanized, militarized
Soviet May Day. Comments ye
queene, ‘they don’t hop, they
march instead.’’? Being a Quaker
college, Bryn Mawrters, of course,
ignore these modern refinements
and rest quietly in the Elizabethan
tradition.

Being a modern and perceptive
monarch, Judy theorized on the
“Spirit of May Day.’? She sur-
mised that Bryn Mawrters are too
tortured and introverted and then
suggested that, as a cure for these
ills, the May Day spirit be insti-
tuted as a year-round tradition.

She cited several changes which
have helped to contribute to this
extension of may day festivity. The
new ‘fopen door’? -- or rather
open dorm -- policy on Friday
nights helps us share our spirits
- May Day, of course - far into
the night. The ‘¢men inthe rooms’?
rule allow more timid Bryn Mawr-
ters to sing, hop and dance with
similarly minded males in the
relative privacy of their own
rooms,

One step, however, has been
rather dismal, i.e., the extension
of library hours. ‘This was a back-
ward step,’’ saith ye queen, with
an irony vast and mincing,

Also, BMC’s myriad ipso facto
organization present intriguing
possibilities. ‘‘Why not make
Dance Club ipso facto too?’’

When queried about her sudden
ascendency to the May Day throne,
Judy first said, ‘‘The whole idea
appeals tremendously,’’ and then
confessed (whisper) ‘I have a
Napoleon complex, you know.’’
