ington. She devoted much of her
time since then to educational
counseling. in. publie and private

President McBride Discusses
Finances at Undergrad
The 1965-1966 budget which
Miss McBride presented at the
Monday night meeting of the Un-
dergraduate Association pointed
to the current general inflationary
rise in prices as the cause of
the budget deficit; rather than
any substantial increase in College
spending. Both Miss McBride and
the students agreed that the fi-
nancial situation of the College
is, on the whole, optimistic.
The expenses side of the report
showed that, as always, the chief
emphasis in allocating funds has
been placed on instruction and re-
search, with about 35% of all spend-
ing concentrated in thisarea, Miss
McBride explained that the many
efforts to improve the salaries
and benefits of the faculty serve
to rank Bryn Mawr faculty among
the best-paid in the profession.
She. said that the average faculty
salary is now near $11,000, and
that consideration is always given
central importance in planning
each year’s budget.
In contrast to the emphasis upon
the quality of the academic de-
partments, Miss McBride pointed
out that Bryn Mawr is conspic-
uously under-administrated, Less
than 5% of this year’s expenses
were used to support the admin-
istrative function of the College.
‘Although this is not in itself de-
‘sirable,. she said, the balance of
all factors shows the administra-
tion to be of least relative im-
portance, and Bryn Mawr is for-
tunate in being able to keep the
administrative expenses so low.
Library expenditures are too
low (3.6%) at this point, accord-
ing to the needs of the College,
but books can only be purchased
as fast as there is room for them
to be catalogued. This is no sav-
ing, Miss McBride explained, for
the books will be more expensive
later. Therefore, plans for the
library addition are being settled
with.all possible speed.
This year the budget deficit
is $155,276.. It is not a debt, for
it has been supplied from endow-
ment funds applied to income,
However, the College cannot con-
tinue to transfer these funds to
be used for expenses, for they
should remain in the investment :
portfolio to earn dividends. This
is the main reason that student
tuition will be raised over the
next two years, However, all stu-
dent tuition does not even pay
the faculty salaries alone, so much
more money will have to be ac-
quired in other ways to keep pace
with the rising costs.
Miss McBride suggested that
students help by being more eco-
nomical in the halls of residence.
The electric bill rose from $14,000
in 1958 to $44,000 in 1965. This
means turn off unnecessary
lights. Also, she said that she
hopes lists ‘will be signed if girls

phasized these suggestions, and they

Jane Orbeton, chairman of the
dance, said that it would be an
‘¢informal, wool dress and heels’’
affair. She has sent invitations to
Haverford, Villanova, Princeton,
and fraternities at the University
of Pennsylvania.
The story of the show is a
fantasy placed in a town of pop
art in a museum brought alive by
the aid of amachine. There Fantod,
the janitor-made-politician seeks
to give the town an order and a
purpose.

For Art's Sake -
At the start of exam season, a time when the unyielding routine of
study temporarily dominates other aspects of the ‘‘college experience,”’
a significant and exciting supplement accompanied the -HAVERF'ORD
NEWS. A special section entitled ‘‘Symposium: Haverford andthe Arts’?
explored the role of the creative arts in the life of a small, liberal
arts college, :
‘Symposium’? contains a sampling. of views drawn from student body,
faculty, and administration, The essays range from specific recom-
mendations designed to stimulate student interest and participation in
the creative arts to a discussion of the development of good taste. The
presentation is itself a fine example of the resources available at
Haverford: thoughtful interest offered by the entire college community,
creative talent represented by Geoffrey Kabat’s striking drawings, and
the existence of. the energy expended to produce the supplement.
The most valuable contribution is the concluding essay by Aryeh
Kosman. Assistant Professor of Philosophy. Reviewing the previous
articles, Mr. Kosman examénes the relation of the non-creative individual
to the arts. He argues against the ‘‘divorce of the intellectual from the
aesthetic,’’ insisting that an environment conducive to creativity must
presuppose an atmosphere of intellectually trained observers. “I still
want to think,’? says Mr. Kosman, ‘‘there is an aesthetit and indeed
creative dimension to my attempts to be a sensitive and responsive
reader, listener, and spectator, and an intelligent and critical talker
about the arts.”’
The relevancy of this discussion to Bryn Mawr is apparent. We share
with Haverford.a lack of continuing involvement in the arts, Concerts
are greeted by meager ‘audiences. The much. vaunted cultural oppor -
tunities of Philadelphia remain untouched by many. students throughout
their college years. Aesthetic experiences all too often exist either
wholly within the curriculum, as course work, or wholly outside it,
as independent ventures.
Mr. Kosman’s essay affirms the necessity for integration of the
intellectual and the aesthetic to produce an environment that will foster
appreciative interest in the arts. Some students will create such an
environment for themselves out of their own talents and tastes. For .
others, a planned and guided program can be an essential means of
developing critical awareness. The root of the problem may be, as Mr.
Kosman indicates, one of ‘the souls and not the situation.’? He recog-
nizes, however, the immediate value of pursuing a course of discussion
and action that can supply the college with. an atmosphere receptive to
the arts. :
‘‘Symposium” is itself an admirable example of such discussion. It
raises ‘and investigates an issue that deserves serious concern on both
campuses. Roy Gutman, coordinator of the supplement, calls the question
one of ‘‘tapping into potential talent and interest.’? Exploration of this
potential must be a responsibility shared by both individuals and the
collective college community. We are grateful to ‘Symposium’? for
probing the condition of the arts at Haverford and by so doing reniinding
Bryn Mawr of its duty. :
It is unfortunate frum a public relations point of view that the news
that Bryn Mawr will not have a faculty show this year should come
at just the time of the momentous success of a Haverford faculty
show Saturday night. Our faculty’s disappointing failure to respond
to the students’ petition appears quite sorrily against the bright foil
of the Haverfordian triumph.
But it is scarcely fair thus to judge -and condemn our faculty. In
the first place, the Haverford show should not be regarded as being
entirely a generous. and obliging gesture of friendship of.the faculty
for the student body. The show was, at least in origin, a project to
raise money for the Serendipity Day Camp, a summer program on
the Haverford campus founded by students and faculty members in
1964 for disadvantaged children of nearby neighborhoods. And the
original impetus for the show came from the Faculty Women’s Club,
The Bryn Mawr show has traditionally been an entirely original
composition of faculty members, deliberately fitted to the peculiar-
ities of the Bryn Mawr way of life and to the themes dominating
campus activities at the time. And it has acquired over the years
such a reputation for superlatives, has come to partake so of the
quality of a legend, that it must be a far worse disaster to compro-
mise the excellence of the production with the exigencies of time
than even to allow a class to graduate without ever having seen a
show. -
This, indeed, seems to have been the situation. The only production
date at all possible, apparently, was February 26, and while around
Christmas 16 to 20 faculty members expressed their willingness
to contribute in some way to the endeavor, the short interlude re-
‘maining for preparations was finally deemed insufficient. be
It is ely regrettable that an entire class will depart the college
without ever having been privy to one of the most vaunted of Bryn
Mawr’s store of traditions, But it is certainly justifiable that the image
of ‘faculty show has not beén allowed to be despoiled. We must hope
that in the make-up of next year’s calendar of events some heed will
be given to the necessity of leaving open dates sufficiently late in
the year that both the standards of the faculty’and the anticipations
of their students may be fulfilled.

Social Solution
‘Yo the Editor:
I would like to offer the follow -
ing solution to the Social Chairman
problem. An all-campus Social
Committee consisting of a chair-
man and one member from each
dorm. in addition to the Social
Chairmen of the dorms, This cen-
tral committee would be.in charge
of all campus-wide social events,
its members forming permanent
committees-of-one for the follow-
ing:
1, Decorations
2. Invitations (inviting other
colleges here and handling their
invitations)
3, Transportation
4. Correspondence (secretary)
5. Telephone
6: Music and Entertainment: --
(planning what. will happen at an
event and seeing that the proper
equipment is there)
7. Publicity. (enthusiasm
campus )
8. Food
9. Clean-up
10. Finance
with the chairman acting as over-
all coordinator.
Certain things. such as decora-
tion would have to be done by
many people. However. the plan-
ning and purchasing of supplies
could be done by one person. In
this way. a person would become

be afforded. These ‘‘experts’’
could also assist the hall chair-
men in planning hall mixers by
having such information readily
available. The hall chairmenwould
be ex-officio members of the com-
mittee and help with the ‘‘man
power’? jobs, such as decorating.
In this way the hall Social: Chair-

ibility without being overwhelmed.
This system should work, since

These 18 or 19-year-old stu-
dents, who come from every coun-
try in the world, will have spent
a year in this country as exchange
students, living with American
families and going to high school
in their communities, After a year,
all 3,000 students get together for
. several weeks to see other parts
of the country and to meet more
Americans. Each busload of
AFS’ers needs two college students
to chaperone, advise, represent
and enjoy them on their trip around

Kitchen
To the Editor:
The second floor of the Inn now
houses a student kitchen, equipped
with stove, refrigerator, silver,
china, tables and many other kit-
chen accoutrements, At the end of
the semester. when a _ student
turned on the stove, the grease
accumulation of decades caught on
fire and destroyed the stove.
The College has offered to give
us a new stove and Undergrad
will pay to have someone clean
the stove once every two weeks
under one condition. -- that is,
each group who uses the kitchen
must clean uv the dishes. !f the
kitchen is found ciuttered with dirty
dishes as has been the case too
often this semester, the kitchen
will be closed.

aspects of Self-Gov not to be found
in other colleges. Here it is as
old as the school itself ---over 80
years. Secondly, no recommenda-

fully in a well-defined area of
responsibility.

in a position to think only of Bryn

‘In my opinion, these hungerniks

--Bernard Kramer
Editor and Publisher,
MAIN LINE CHRONICLE
Mr. Kramer, and similar spectators from the adult world, may main-
tain that young people have no legal responsibility, barring the draft,
but he cannot deny our moral-responsibility to be concerned with the
actions of the government which immediately affect: us, By moral
responsibility as regards the government, we are not necessarily sug-
gesting that each student must either enlist in the armed forces or
march on Washington, as Harold Chapman, a former South Atrican
citizen, stated in a panel discussion last Friday. Rather, our responsi-
bility as human beings lies in keeping ourselves informed about-events
in the real world, We all have beenintent upon analyzing the meaning of
actions in fictional literature; one ofthefirstgreat themes we contact is
«man’s inhumanity to man, But too often we are incapable of recognizing
the same recurring theme in the context of reality.
The fast was an attempt to enter into the context of reality -- :
arouse intense and thoughtful discussion about the war and about ways
of changing the conditions which make this war possible.’’ The war in
Vietnam is the nonfictional masterpiece of man's inhumanity to man.
And the purpose of the fast was to analyze this piece of nonfiction,
Granted that students attend lectures and discussions allyear long on
the situation in Vietnam. But the result is often a disjointed accumulation
of impressions, The fast, by concentrating so many aspects of tne
analysis into an eight-day period, provided an atmosphere conducive to
Clarifying and interpreting a mass’ of otherwise unorganized facts and
topics. For this reason, the fast can be considered a gimmick -- a
successful one at that -- for focusing students’ thoughts on the total
picture in Vietnam.
The fast, however, went beyond
its participants, Non-fasting stu-
dents came to ask questions and to
listen to answers. Phis perhaps
was the most successful part of the
fast. To involve so many students
in thinking and discussing who were
relatively unconcerned prior tothe
fast is highly commendable, Not
only did students become involved,
but also faculty members, Com-
munication barriers broke down
between professors and students,
as well as between those against
and those in favor of the U.S,
policy.
Criticism has been made that
most of the private dorm dis-
cussions were centered aroundthe
fast itself rather than around Viet-
ham, If so, the method would have
to be called overpowering and
self-defeating, However, this ef-
fect seems minor next to the fact
that attendance at some of the
lectures was predominantly non-
fasters, and they were there to
listen and to learn, and not to talk
about not eating.
Audiences listened to a wide
variety of interpretations and
learned a great many new facts.
Discussions ranged from Africato
Latin America to Saigon; from
economics to politics to psychol-
ogy. Everything was tightly packed
into a- relatively short period of
time. And all during that time there
was in the back of everybody’s
mind the thought that ‘‘some of
these people have stopped eating
because of something here they
believe in,’’
We extend our congratulations
to the conceivers and organizers
of the fast. We hope that this
method of concentrating analysis of
‘a particular subject can be ex-
tended in the future into other
- areas of campus activities,
Yes, | r. Kramer, there is a
seriows cause. We can’t vote, but
we can think.
Concern Over U.S. Involvement
Stimulates Student Protest Fast
By Kit Bakke
As concern: over the United
States involvement in Vietnam in-
creases in the Senate because of
the appropriations bill before Ful-
bright’s (Ark-D) Foreign Relations
Committee, over 140 students
began a fast protesting that in-
volvement last Thursday. Feb-
ruary-3, ‘
Most of the students fasted for
eight days. dropping out when they
felt they were not achieving their
purpose ‘or when they got sick,
or going on for 14 days, The
length of time was entirely up
to each individual,
The idea for the fast began
before exams with a statement
issued by several students at Hav-
erford. headed by Ed Hazzard.
Enthusiasm spread to Bryn Mawr,
where Marian Brown and Marsha
‘to Sa
Wagner were coordinators, Sign-
ups passed the 100 mark, Then
students at Swarthmore became
involved. They held a press con-
ference the first week pf the fast.
so many of the news _turies cen-
tered the whole affair at Swarth-
more. As the fast cvuntinued, ten
students at the University of Penn-
sylvania joined. There was also
a partial fast going on with some
students at Rosemont. where the
girls were eating just one meal
a day. One bov at Villanova is
apparently tasting and 120 students
at the University of Wisconsintele-
phoned that they would make some
kind of demonstration insympathy,

Although the services are don-

ben is helping to finance the
project. Some outside sources are
also concerned.
The shooting will be completed
this weekend. Some clips may be
shown Friday night at the Fast
Evaluation in the Common Room
at Haverford. The work of editing
the film, says Reuben, will be
relatively easy in cutting down
from nine hours to five hours.
After that .the difficult. decisions
will have to be made to determine
the final shape of the film. It will
probably be ready for release in

On Fast Effects
Friday evening a general group
evaluation of the fast will take
place at 7:00 in the CommonRoom

purposes of the fast was to en-

among students individually, such
that each participant should
emerge from this eight-day ex-
perience ‘with a more concrete
personal evaluation of the Vietnam
Situation.
The COLLEGE NEWS has pur-
posely avoided an inquiring-re-
porter type article among students
this issue, Instead, the staff is
hoping that after the formal con-
clusion,students will submit to the
NEWS their final personal inter-
pretations of the value of the fast.
We are interested in hearing
from those persons who actually
fasted the full eight days, those
who stopped fasting for reasons
other than starvation, and those
who participated in the series
of lectures and discussions with-

Bryn Mawr students are invited
to make statements.

The vrange juice was bought
by each participant at Bryn Mawr
and served in the Inn, The price
was about 40¢ a day, At Haver-
ford, the college provided several
varieties of juice free of charge.
This is indicative of the differ-
ing attitudes of the two colleges.
From the beginning, the Bryn Mawr
administration refused to take a
stand one way or the other, Bryn
as such. wasn’t
in‘ any way involved with any part
of the tast. The Haverford ad-
ministration, on the other hand,
felt it had a duty to the health
of its students. To this end, Dean
Lyons had planned to notify the
parents of each faster what his
son was intending to do. However
this was never done.
Mr. Oppenheimer inthe Sociolo-
gv Department at Bryn Mavr cir-
culated a statement among the
faculty similar to the students’
one, There were six signers who
agreed to fast for one day. Two
others agreed in principle but
wouldn’t fast. There are also four
professors at Haverford who are
fasting the full eight days,
Although releases were sent to
newspapers and radio
stations in the area, as well as
to the wire services, there was
practically no advance publicity.
During the eight days however,
the MAIN LINE TIMES, MAIN LINE
CHRONICLE, PHILADELPHIA IN-
QUIRER, THE NEW YORK TIMES,
the SDS sponsored NEW LEFT
NOTES, and WIBG and other radio
stations all made notice of it.
The CHRONICLE had the story
most confused of them all. Stu-
dents who were fasting were ‘*hun-
gerniks’’? being led by Father Por-
teus of Ardmore, who is connect-
ed with the Student Christian Move-
ment on the two campuses, _,.
On February 8, THE NEW YORK
TIMES printed an article about the
fast. They quoted a portion of
the statement: ‘*We are suspicious
of a ‘peace offensive’ which on
the one hand ends the bombing
on North Vietnam, an aggressive
and unjust action in the first place,
and on the other hand maintains
the high draft rate, increases troop
and materiel strength in South
Vietnam, continues indiscriminate
saturation bombing, poisoning of
crops and chemical warfare
against villages ...’’
Students fasting were often ask-
ed why they chose this method.
For one thing, it shows that they
were serious. No one can accuse
the protesters of having done it
‘‘just for kicks,’? Dr. Evans felt
that the fast would be an ‘‘ex-
periment with Truth,” with empha-
sis on the self-sensitization and
personal identification with suffer-
ing of ‘*thuman beings that do
suffer becauSe of our and others’
lack of awareness, concernor car-
ing.’’ Actually the reasons for each
individual were probably more di-
verse: partly to see if they could
do it, to show strength of resolve,
and to indicate the degree of
caring.
There will be a general evale-..
uation session at~7:00 p.m; Fri-
day night in Haverford’s Common
Room, Anyone who would like to
contribute or just listen is in-
vited.

to communicate what is happening
to one’s fellow men, It is in such
a context that the idea of fast-
ing developed.
What isthe objective? Several
possible answers, inthis abnormal
contest, seem pertinent in various
degrees, One is to make the situ-
ation_more concrete, in a sense
to remove~oneself (existentially?)
from the abstraet_plane to the
real level of one’s own-guts and ~
to. think and feel for a small time
at that level. The sincerity of
that gesture may convince no-one,
and if conversion (to doubt about
the war, or to being against U.S,
policy) is a goal, the effect will
be a limited one, I suppose. So
it is a personal thing, and that,
in a time when most things are
en masse, when it is difficult
to do something all by oneself
for one’s own reasons, is nosmall
matter,
The other part of it has to do
with ‘‘community,’’ the Jack of
which has been pointed to as a
source of our sense of ‘‘aliena-
tion.’’ Well, for whatever it is
worth, the fasters are a communi-
ty, for a short time, and for that
time their action has a meaning,
hence they are not alienated. And
that is no small matter either.
So the fasters, all politics aside,
are engaged in an existential ex-
perience which puts them in touch
with the hungry and the oppressed
of the world. That may not be
much either, in the ways we
measure things in this country,
But the world does not always

Faculty Petition Signers Speak Out
The position of the college on
the eight-day fast for Vietnam
was that it was a purely individual
matter. Dean Marshall told the
COLLEGE NEWS her. own views:
‘| regard fasting as an entirely
personal matter, one whichis up to
the individual. I recognize that
students who are fasting have de-
cided to do so for a wide variety
of reasons.
‘¢*For some, the reason has been
to demonstrate a commitment, for,
others a hope that. fasting would
draw attention to a study of Viet-
nam and American foreign policy,
and for others a wish to have a
different kind of personal experi-
ence. ,

_ circulated by Mr. Oppenheimer
(see article above) of the Sociology
His ‘petition, which
eight’ persons signed, two. with
servations, made this statement:
Mr. Richard DuBoff and Joe Eyer told fasters on Saturday that _
economic interests were very much in favor of continuing the
‘‘While some of us may have
reservations about the particular
tactic chosen, and/or question its
effectiveness, we nevertheless
want to indicate to the students
involved, and to the wider college
community, that we share their
basic concern, and their hope that
such an act will confront our fel-
low-citizens with the tragedy of
Vietnam in a more dramatic way
than is possible through the normal
media of communication,’’
Mr. DuBoff of the Economics
Department signed ‘he petition not
to express approval of the entire
method but to indicate agreement
in a general way with the purpose
of the fast in so far as it calls
attention to the war and stimulates
discussion, critical questioning,
and examination.
Political Science professor Mr.
Bachrach changed his point of view
during the fast. At first he could
see no sense in it; he regarded it
simply as a reflection of the frus-
trating inability of students to make
their feelings known in other ways.
Viewing the fast in progress, he
feels that it is an effective way
to make known anti-government
policy beliefs, with which he is in
sympathy.
definitely anti-war in Vietnam and
not simply 4 demonstration with no
political leanings.
Mrs. Pyne of the Philosophy De-
partment, who signed Mr. Oppen-
heimer’s petition with the reserva-
tion that she would not fast, be-
lieves the fasting method is both
impractical and ineffective in mak-
ing one’s commitments known.
She signed the petition because
she is in agreement with-the-basic
principles it-contained. She especi=
ally feels that attention must be
drawn to the governme:. ,»olicy in
Vietnam so that the administration

will find it even more necessary to
examine its actions critically and
carefully.
Archaeology professor Mrs.
Ridgway told the. NEWS: ‘‘Any-
body whether supporting the
government policy or not could
not have objected to signing the
statement because it was phrased
in such a way as to show concern
for the slaughter going on in Viet-
nam. And I think that everyone
should feel that kind of concern;
the lead rests with the intellectual
community.’’
Mr. Baratz, in Economics, also
said the petition was ‘‘artfully
written’? -- no matter what a per-
son’s view on the issue itself he
couldn’t help but agree with the
petition. ‘‘I myself did not feel
that fasting would serve any per-
sonal purpose for me, but this in
no way casts aspersions on those
. who did, I feel that each person
must come to his own conclusions;
this was sufficient reason for meto
support the fast.’’
Miss Potter, also of the Philos-
ophy Department, did not fast her -
self but was perfectly willing to
indicate her support of the stu-
dents. Her reason for not fasting
was due to academic responsibil-
“ities, but seeing the fasters’ suc-
cess, she says *‘my own reserva-
tions were possibly without
foundation.’’
Although Mr. Silvera of the His-
tory Department felt unable to fast
himself, he is very strongly in
favor of the points set forth in
Mr. Oppenheimer’s petition. He
believes that there are many other
effective ways of expressing one-
self, but is in agreement with the
pfasting, because ,it is one way of
demonstrating antagonism toward
‘a government policy which he is
decidedly against.

the fourth wall of the set. We
begin to wait tensely for the blade

This stunning set was devised
as~his~first~cotnrmfssion for the™
TLA by Eugene Lee, whose light-
ing effects occasionally set one
blinking in surprise. Adam Sage’s
costumes are decoratively obtru-
sive, appropriate for highlighting
the players as players; for ‘Poor
Bitos’” is a nightmarish play-
within-a-play.
Having plunged headlong into the
political intrigues of the French
Revolution, Anouilh comes up with
a modern thriller in historical
perspective. Guests at a ‘wig

Revolutionary figures assigned to
them ‘by their host, Maxime,
Maxime plans to destroy one of
the guests, whom he has always
loathed: Bitos, first in everything
at school and now the psychotic
manipulator of :a.. vast political.
machine. Bitos is to play Robes-
pierre, whose death, according
to the playbill, ended the Reign
of Terror.
The play takes place in the
cellar of a one-time Carmelite
priory in aFrench provincial town.
At a gunshot, the past becames
the present, the diners become
the characters they are pcrtray-
ing, and the beginnings of the
French Revolution are recreated

In th: double role of Bitos-
Robespierre, George Bartenieff
quietly contributes a steady grating
that sends off sparks. He is par-
ticularly convincing when Bitos
drinks too much and reveals him-
self, exclaiming, ‘‘The iron fist --
that’s my only love!’’ Sally Kirk-
land as Lila-Marie Antoinette
brings considerable dash to the
production with gleeful abandon,
She is supertly comic when, play-
acting, she is asked to account
for Marie Antoinette’s affairs. An-
thony Zerbe as Maxime-Saint-Just
is a sufficiently nimble catalyst
to set the action going. :
The rest of the troupe is ad-
mirably cast. Jonathan Frid, Jer-

Gross, Tom Brannum, and espe-
cially David Hurst deliver
excellent performances, The pro-

pared. with such finesse that its
historical intricacies are compre-

to be thinking up epithets for the

Some of us still remember the
days last May when a poll was
taken of student opinion at Bryn

bus to take Bryn Mawr and Ha-

between the two colleges for
classes and lectures. The student
body overwhelmingly endorsed the

The Academy of American Poets
offers a $100 prize for the best
group of poems submitted by a
student, The Bain-Swiggett award,
the income on a fund of $1000,
is presented to the student who
writes the best single poem.
Manuscripts for the contest must

but the author’s name should not
appear on the pages, Each manu-
script will. be given an identi-
fication number when the appli-
cant registers, and those judging
her work will not know the writer’s
name.
Different committees, selected
from the faculty by the English
Department, will judge the two
competitions, Separate entries
must be made for each one. Posters

The Katherine Fullerton Gerould

Entries may be narrative (long
or short), informal essay (exclud-
ing critical papers and formal
essays), or verse(a group of poems
is suggested by the judging com-
mittee). Class assignments and
compositions that have previously
appeared in student publications

One day, indeed, avery different
vehicle confronted the startled
eyes of those who had long re-
signed themselves to the indefinite
continuance of the status quo, and
it was, to be sure, a bus. For
anyone with particularly nostalgic
memories of his or her grammar
school experience, this provided
a wonderful opportunity discreetly:
to return to childhood’s golden
days -- or more accurately, its
yellow bus days, It seems that the
dealer had agreed to lend the col-
leges this a typal form of con-
veyance until suey time as the bus
originally ordere might arrive.
The history of the yellow bus
was, however, fraught\with mishap,
First*the battery died, then one
generator, then. another failed.
Finally the dealer’s temporary
license expired, and he failed to
renew it in a manner that could
satisfy the college administrations
as to its legality.
But fortune’s wheel had not yet
turned to favor the transportation
of students between Bryn Mawr and
Haverford, and soon the turning.of
the wheels of the two station wagons
was. to be stopped: for first the
“white and then the blue were ren-
dered useless in accidents.
After such hardship, it is
scarcely’ to be wondered at that
Bryn Mawr and Haverford students
received the homely creature that
arrived in their midst a few days
after the beginning of the second
semester with an affection which,
if concealed behind a gruff humor,
was nonetheless deep and sincere.

Cancellation Of
Is Due Pool Hall Intrigues
Why was the skating party
scheduled for Friday, February 4,
cancelled? ‘It’s a long story,’’
says Melissa McCarty, Athletic
Association president.
It seems that all the arrange-
ments for the party were quite
satisfactory, but a day or two
before the affair Melissa tried
to*call-the-skating—rink~to~check
on a few last-minute details, '
One of those dead-voiced phone
company recordings informed her
that the phone she was calling
was out of service. So Melissa
tried the New York Bagel Bakery
nearby and was told to try call-
ing the pool hall next door to the
Skating rink. :
Feeling a little silly, but never-
theless determined, Melissa
phoned the pool hall. At her per-
sistent inquiries about the skating
‘ rink, the pool hall man became
flustered. (‘*He probably thought
I was the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice or something,’’)
He kept repeating, ‘I don’t know
anything about it,’’
Further—sleuthing by Melissa
brought these facts to light. The
skating rink had gone bankrupt
even before it opened, and it had
never had any ice, The woman
with whom the arrangements for
the party had been made had done
so assuming the rink would open.
It never will.

and._all-the, top honors on his.side.
But a bridge contract must be play-
ed from the first trick.
West led out his ace and king
of clubs and then’ shifted to the
heart king. South took it in his hand
and drew one round of trump to be
sure he did not have a 4-0 split.
He might then have drawna second
round of trump, but he had both a
heart and a club loser in his hand,
which could combine to set his
contract. He returned to his hand
via aspade ruff and promptly ruffed
his losing club with dummy’s ace.
Returning through another spade’
ruff, he pulled the remaining
trumps to ensure his contract.
Had the vulnerability been dif-
ferent, the bidding could have been
strongly - affected. If North-South
were vulnerable, East might have
been induced to bid three hearts
over his partner’s doubled two
spades. This would almost cer-
tainly have proved disastrous since
West would have persevered onthe
strength of his hand. East-West
could have made three hearts,
but no more than that under any
circumstances; and since a game
contract did not appear to be inthe
offing, the sacrifice would hardly
have been worth the expense.
For interest’s sake, when the
hand was replayed, South made
an unnecessary pre-empt to open
three diamonds. He should not have
done this, of course, since his
partner had already passed, and
he had, furthermore. too many
points for a legal pre-empt in
spite of his long diamond suit.
As it turned out, his mistake
did no damage because the bidding
went to. four diamonds anyway.
But it does prove that errors need
not always be fateful.
