Self Gov Surveys Arrests End Escapades

Men-Rooms Rule

by Carol Cain
Members of the Self-Govern-
ment Association’s Executive
Board conducted campus-wide
student discussions at Bryn Mawr
this week concerning the social and
academic honor system. The Board

“members visited each dorm on

a dinner-system schedule and dis-
tributed questionnaires about self-
government to be completed by the
students.

According to. Jane Janover,
President of Self-Gov, the
immediate purpose for the discus-
sions and questionnaires is to de-
termine majority opinion of BMC
students concerning the present
interpretations placed on Self-Gov
social regul S, specifically the
provisional men-in-rooms rule
and the unchaperoned overnight
sign-out privilege. Jane empha-
sized that. the poll would serve,

not as an index for student opinion .

on individual moral behavior, but
as an indication of how students
feel about the BMC social
standards written in the Self-Gov
constitution as regards the respon-
sibility of each member of that
community to adhere to those stan-

” dards.

Jane indicated that the impetus
for the campus survey came from
problems arising when students
expressed dissatisfaction with so-

cial behavior in the dormitories
as well as uses being made of
overnight signouts. Interpreta-
tions of the men-in-the-rooms and
overnight signout privileges, she
added, have changed since original
student legislation and approval
by the Board of Trustees.

Self-Gov will announce the re-
sults of the student discussions and
questionnaires, but no immediate
action to change the existing
constitution is anticipated, said
Jane.

The questionnaire distributed to
students by the Executive .Board
consists of four sections, headed
Community, Off-campus, and the
Role of Self-Gov, with questions
about the nature of BMC as a so-
cial and academic complex, as well
as the problems implied by aresi-
dential student community. Stu-
dents were asked to state their
attitudes toward community stan-
dards of behavior, whether or not
they believed in privatism or stu-
dent obligation to respect’ ‘such
standards.

The section on off-campus
actions questioned the girls’ atti-
tudes toward her responsibili-
ties to Bryn Mawr’s reputation
in the outside world, as well as the
College’s responsibility for the in-
dividual student while she is away
from the campus,

Dennis Stern Chosen

“Freshman of Y ear’’

Dennis Stern has been named in extracurricular activities, with
Freshman of the Year by the juniors needing a somewhat better
record to be picked, .

Founders Club, an organization
which honors students for extra-
curricular activities and academic
achievement, At the same time,
nine juniors and seniors were made
members of the club,

Stern, a native of Whitefish Bay,
Wisconsin, tentatively plans to
major in psychology. His primary
activities this year have been his
show. on WHRC and his active
participation on the NEWS, of which
he is currently serving as an as
sociate editor,

The Freshman of the Year award
is given annually to an outstanding
freshman who combines extra-
curricular and academic ex-
cellence, Last year the award was
given to Chris Kopff.

Founders Club itself is a purely

honorary organization, which
meets once or twice a year and

does very little actively. Already:

members of the club, chosen as
juniors last year, are Joe Eyer,
Alan Raphael, and Hunt Rawlings,
who was also named the under-
graduate secretary.

The newly-admitted seniors are
Peter Barnett, Andy Balber, Dennis
Carson, Kent Campbell, Clark
deSchweinitz, Don Dodson, Ed Haz-

- gard, and Mike Punzak. Mike Brat-_
. man was. the only junior selected,

Juniors and seniors are chosen
for membership solely on two
factors -- their academic record
and the extent of their participation



Of H’ford May Day Raid

by Terry Jones
In the wee hours of last Friday
morning, five Haverford students
participating in the annual attempt
to confiscate Bryn Mawr maypoles
were arrested, taken to the Merion
police station, and fined a total of
$306,. The arrests came in two
separate installments,

‘We were setting off fire-
crackers at Bryn Mawr,’’ said Ed
Sleeper, one of the students ar-
rested, ‘‘Cherry bombs.’’
‘*There was nothing terribly ex-
citing going on,’’ he continued,

‘*so we started back about 11:45,
On the way back we were picked
up by Rakove, and we went back
to Bryn Mawr. We wandered around
and watched for a while,’’

Sleeper then explained. that he
and Tom Forehand again started
back toward Haverford, They were
joined by four other students and
soon afterward by Spence Hipp.

The seven were proceeding down
Lancaster Pike when a police car
stopped them about a block before
they had reached the Blu Comet,
The policeman emerged from the
car and said that he wanted to talk

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr., will deliver the sermon
at this year’s Baccalaureate Serv-
ice, which will be held at 6:15

May of 1964 made it impossible
for him to come. .

Council Statement

The Haverford College Stu-
dents’ Council questions the
wisdom of the Bryn Mawr Col-
lege Administration’s use of
Lower Merion Township police
to patrol the Bryn Mawr campus
during last weekend’s festivi-
ties. If Bryn Mawr College is
so intent on keeping Haverford
students off their campus at
this traditional time that it is
willing to subject Haverford
students to the arbitrary con-
trol of the township police, this
should be made clear to the
Haverford student body. If, how-
ever, their intent is not to
destroy what has become a tra-
ditional part of the May Day
celebration, we suggest that any
guards Bryn Mawr College feels
are necessary should be pri-
vately-hired ones. These would
be able to prevent Haverford
students from actions Bryn
Mawr considers undesirable,
without subjecting students to
arrests and heavy fines. We
strongly urge the administra-
tions of Bryn Mawr and Haver-
ford, if they are interested in
not subjecting students to the
local police force, to jointly
finance such a procedure.







three firecrackers and asked whose
they were, Ed admitted that they
belonged to him.’’

According to Sleeper, the police-
man next asked them where they
had been, They said they were
coming from Bryn Mawr,

Sleeper here interjected that it
was stupid of them to have ad-
mitted that, and more stupid still
for him to have confessed that the
firecrackers were his. Since Hipp
had already been caught, he said,
it would have been simple to say
that the three discarded fire-
crackers were his,

“‘The cop told the other five
to go to the Comet and then back
to campus,’’ said Hipp.

Student ‘hie

What dire offense from am’rous causes springs,
What mighty contests rise from trivial things ...

There ‘has been considerable discussion regarding the
arrests last week of five Haverford students involved in
the traditional Maypole Raid. In their defense, a number
of sympathetic comrades have seized this opportunity
to level diatribes against the inhumanity of the Lower
Merion police as evidenced by the unnecessary severity
of their actions last Friday morning. We fail to see
justification for such an oversimplified argument,

To begin, there ARE legitimate grounds for protest
against the manner in which two of the five students in
question were searched and subsequently taken to the
police station. The two
that they were searched without a warrant: clearly, a

oe
ge legal violation. Irrespective of the situation, the
se: police had no legal right to subject Spence Hipp and Ed
\ Sleeper to the search which established their possession

of fireworks. In consequence of the illegal search, it
cannot be denied that the two arrests which followed
were illegal, That the fines imposed by the court were
not substantial enough to make pursuit of the issue
worthwhile, does not erase the fact that the two arrests
were obvious violations of the students’ rights.

Whether the students were guilty or innocent of the
charges is another question. As far as we can determine,

# all five arfested were no guiltier than the dozens of
# Haverfordians on or in the vicinity of the Bryn Mawr
: campus who remained unarrested. The arrests made,

however, were no-doubt ‘‘token arrests,’’ standard police
procedure in alleged ‘‘mob situations.’’ It is a safe
assumption, we think, that had these five not been

# arrested, others would very likely have spent the night
= in their stead in the cells, There are known cases

of students apprehended for actions that were plainly

= grounds for arrest who were allowed to gofree (e.g., the

case of the student elsewhere referred to in this issue
as Lancy Paxon),
As to the complaint registered concerning police

©. prutality--the indiscriminate and unmeted use of billy

sticks?--we find it hard to believe. Again, use of the
clubs commensurate with the situation is standard

3 2 procedure. To date, we have received no reports of

minor, much less serious, injuries inflicted by policemen
on Haverford students. If, indeed, -an arrested student
was handcuffed, the arresting officer may well have been
remembering the numerous occasions on which ap-
prehended students, noting an opportunity, have escaped.
The monumental example from the history of Haverford
tomfoolery is the incident where one captive Haver-
fordian not only attempted escape but made, moreover, a
valiant effort to confiscate a squad car while escaping.
Hmmm? Why, then, should Clancey hesitate to handcuff
the unlucky Haverfordian? He won’t die, it’s not poison.

In addition, it has always been our impression that

= one of the major objectives of the traditional raid is

to outwit the police and the Burns guards. Participants
could not have been so naive as to believe that there
was no risk involved, That five students were arrested
is unfortunate. That they were compelled to bear the
brunt of consequences for what was more or less a
College raid is still more unfortunate. The NEWS pro-
poses that a collection be taken on the Haverford and
Bryn Mawr campuses to pay--if not in full at least in
part--the fines imposed on the five students.

But any contention that the actions in general of the
police force in the 1966 Maypole Raid were unjust is
virtually without basis, We have already noted the single
incident where protest is justified. Aside from that, we
can find no reason for_ complaint. The five students
will have local records of no real significance. Nearly
all applications (for occupations, etc.) ask whether the
applicant has ever been arrested for misdemeanor or
felony, and the students’ charges fall into neither of these
categories, Moreoyer, should the students: be asked
whether. they have ever been arrested at all, they will be
able to qualify their answer by producing the letter given
them by the judge explaining the trivial nature of the
offense.

In addition to the example of this letter, there have
been several notable examples of cooperation in the
past on the part of the L.M. police: their unbiased
intervention to maintain order when Professor William
Davidon spoke in Ardmore, their promptness in rushing
one Lloyd student to a local hospital, their aid in the
investigation of thefts from students’ rooms and faculty
homes, and, above all, their non-interference in matters
best resolved strictly within the Haverford College com-
munity.

Finally, one sweeping criticism needs to be raised
against the Bryn Mawr administration: the seriousness
with which they seem to view May. Day is out of place.
Given this inane attitude, however, they have a per-
fect right to ask aid from the local police to protect

_maypoles, having no effective security

In sum, Bryn Mawr’s tradition is
seriously, and so is Haverford’s, a
ves this, whereas the Bryn Mawr

Letters to the Editor

Villanova arty

To the rene

I spe t Friday night studying in your. excel-
lent libr and came across a copy of your not-
so-excellent newspaper, I am a Villanova student;
I write to protest mildly the inanities uttered by Tom
McCafferty, as quoted by Dennis Stern in his page
one: article headed, ‘‘Transfer Students Cite Rea-
sons:for Switches;’’.

But, first, I think the whole article reeks of self-
congratulatory pettiness, particularly the compari-
sons to Columbia, Harvard, and Brandeis, It was
as if the editors were plagued by insecurity con-
cerning the*status of their school, and believed
that status to be enhanced by a recitation of the

reasons cited for transfer by these isolated in-

dividuals, Gentlemen, your standing as an institute
established for the pursuit of excellence can be
nothing but demeaned by articles like these, '

Superficially, and in broad general terms, what
McCafferty says is at least partially true, Iam still
unable, however, to justify his transfer,

McCafferty perceives that Villanova possesses:
1) a party atmosphere; 2) complete lack of interest
in academics; 3) students who work only for grades;
4) students who dump on Haverford; 5) professors
who do not respect independently -thinking students;
6) professors who are disgusted with the academic
apathy, _

He also cited Haverford’s smaller size and
better reputation (presumably academic) as further
reason for his switch. These latter two are un-
questionably true, though, again, one might question
whether they are sufficient cause for transfer,

One must at all times remember that Haverford
and Villanova, broadly conceived, are designed to
serve vastly different student bodies, Generally,
Villanova services the Catholic middle class, while
Haverford draws its students from a considerably
more cultured and wealthy background, Villanova’s
entrance requirements are. significantly lower than
Haverford’s, thus resulting in a Haverford student
body not only more ‘‘socially acceptable,’’ but more
intelligent on the whole, These facts determine the
college in question, again broadly defined,

I submit that all of McCafferty’s remarks are
true only in reference to the GENERAL student
body, or (in two instances), to the GENERAL
faculty,

But McCafferty is presumably an individual, one
who does not absorb his personal identity from those
immediately around him, He should be able to
resist any mongrelization if he wishes, but I sug-
gest that if he did, he’s missing the point of educa-
tion,

Perhaps what I’m trying to say is better indicated
by the preface to one of Kierkegaard’s essays, in
which he quotes Lessing to the effect that man’s goal
is not the truth, but the persistent striving after
truth,

Students at Haverford have it made, They have
sympathetic people all around, to coddle and pro-
tect them from the harsh light of intolerance, At
Villanova the articulateintelligentsiaare a distinct
minority, Our identity is fired in the furnace of a
Sometimes-hostile and always-suspicious atmo-
sphere, We have experience in dealing with agreat
amalgam, for our student body includes those who
could easily qualify for Haverford to those who do
not belong in any college at all. This amalgam pro-
motes a better understanding of human nature, and
hence a better understanding of self, It inculcates
an ability to adjust to adversity, something all of
us must acquire. In short, student life at Villanova
involves a much larger component of striving for
those perceptive enough to realize its existence, and
those strong and wise enough to translate it for
their own personal development (unlike the woe
McCafferty),

But perhaps my previous remarks have unneces-
sarily indicted Villanova as an academic institution.
Though unquestionably the average Haverfordian
faculty member is a better scholar and teacher,
I suggest that the large size of the Villanova faculty
makes it easy to construct a program incorporating
professors and courses as good as, if not better
than, those at Haverford, I further suggest that
several of our departments (though I hestitate to
make comparisons like these) are, on the whole,
decidedly superior to those at Haverford, Though
there are others, I will mention only the most
important, Philosophy.

Finally, Villanova’s large size affords her dis-
tinct advantages which, alas, even Haverford cannot
match,

We have more colleges and more courses, One
may choose electives that simply do not exist at
Haverford, |

Our extra-curricular life is substantially larger
and more diversified, catering to a wider range of
interests, and hence providing a more ok

- adjunct to the academic life, ;
Our greater resources and litger’sixt “enable “

us to attract orchestras such as George Szell and
the Cleveland Philharmonic, speakers such as

Martin Luther King, folk groups such as Peter, Paul

|

and Mary, politicians such as William Buckley,
commencement speakers such as Arthur Goldberg
and philosophers such as A, Hilary Armstrong of
the University of Liverpool,

Under miscellaneous, our Intercollegiate Jazz
Festival is the best in the country andour Graduate
Theater is the equal of — any on the eastern

- seaboard,

And our social life is without a doubt superior
to that of Haverford’s, from the before-concert
cocktail party to the inter-fraternity bash at
Aquarama, Recall, please, that four of your seven
transferees explicitly listed the better social life
at Haverford as one of their reasons for switching.

In conclusion, then, it is obvious that Haverford
and Villanova are different, but they are designed
to be different, Haverford tries to steal maypoles

_ from Bryn Mawr, while Villanova marches on Rose-
' mont, A distinct minority of Haverford’s sheltered

student body seek their adjustment to adversity in
extra-campus activities, such as work among the
poor and disadvantaged, The minority of Villanova

who are Haverford’s intellectual equals also seek |

their adjustment to adversity outside the campus,
but without the ‘‘surcease of sorrow’’ to which to
return, provided by a protective (and perhaps un-
realistic?) college atmosphere,

Each school has its advantages; neither should
throw stones at the other, whether indirectly or

directly, I ask you to print this inordinantly. long. -

letter (for whose length I apologize) without editing
,to enable your excellent student body to form a
more correct: and more. intelligent impression of
Villanova than that provided by the unfortunately
oversimplified and incomplete remarks of Mr,

Men in Rooms

To the Editors:

Evidently a number of girls have been acting
indiscreetely or offensively in regard to the menin
the rooms privileges at Bryn Mawr. This is a
serious problem, especially since these privileges
are greatly jeopardized if such behavior continues,
This aspect of the problem and the responsibili-
ties of students and administration will be thorough-
ly discussed in the dormitories, and I wouldlike to
discuss a problem which I think is even more im-
portant than the behavior which is causing all the

furor. This problem is that many girls have gone .

directly to the dean with reports of objectionable
activity, instead of going through the self govern-
ment channels, The proper procedure would be to
speak to the girl, the hall president, and if neces-

‘sary to the executive board of self-gov. Thewarden,

the dean, or the president of the college are not the
people to speak to unless the problem is ignored by
all of self-gov, which is unlikely to happen,

In going to the administration rather than self-
gov, girls are jeopardizing much more than the men
in the rooms privileges; they are jeopardizing the
effectiveness of self-gov, While the concern of the
administration in this problem is certainly justi-
fiable, the behavior of those who went to the ad-
ministration before self-gov. is not at all justi-
fiable, and is a problem which self-gov. should
emphasize as much, if not more, than those prob-
lems .regarding men in the rooms, Furthermore,
it was up to the dean to take note of the complaints

which were brought to her, but also to inform the ~

girls that the complaints must be brought to self-
gov. I do not know if this was done,

The only strength our self government system
can have lies in the ability of the members to deal
with problems within the system, Taking problems
to the administration as a first measure is exteme-

ly irresponsible, Nora Clearman, '67

Indifference

To the Editors: __
It is a pity that Dennis Carson knows so little
about the ‘‘new left’’ both because it is something
which he ought to be informed about for its own
sake and because, when he undertakes to speak on
this subject before an audience, he ought to feel
enough responsibility to that audience to know what
he is talking about, But his. ignorance on this sub-
ject is certainly much more forgivable than his
apparent indifference to the great suffering that
exists in the world and to the nature of a society
that permits or causes much of that suffering, This
indifference was clearly shown in Mr, Carson’s
collection speech by his callous, flip tone and his

| willingness to exploit any issue, however serious,
. merely to. get a few laughs, Haverford certainly
needs students with more of a sense-of-humor,.--.

but not of Carson’s kind,

Self Gov Solution

Self-Gov is circulating a questionnaire that explores

, the relation of the student to the honor system that.

administers her social behavior. The central issue is the
perennial clash of personal standards with community
responsibility, and a thorough evaluation is long over-
due.

A student in residence at Bryn Mawr has voluntarily
entered herself as a member of the college community
for a four-year term. No individual interpretation is
possible on this matter, Her acceptance of a dormi-
tory room is tantamount to a declaration of citizen-
ship, . ’

The Self-Government Association is a student organiza-
tion dealing with student concerns during this residency.
When Self-Gov abdicates its position or allows its func-
tions to become hazy, the administration may step into
the vacuum, A general confusion of respective roles
has recently been evident, with freshmen turning first
to the dean in moments of crisis instead of carrying
their bewilderment over conduct regulations to the hall
president.

The present situation has characterized Self-Gov as
the defender of the individual and the administration
as the champion of community cooperation, This dis-
tribution of support is a distortion of the proper redlms
of responsibility, Community life is a central concern of

students and falls under the jurisdiction of Self-Gov. .

In its present self-examination, Self-Gov is enter-
taining the prospect of a statement of policy and the task
of rendering explicit the ambiguous discredit clause.
Such measures are minor steps that do not strike at
the core of the difficulty. A formal regulation can be
just as easily ignored as an indistinct hint, as exem-
plified by the frequently perpetuated and observed
violations of the smoking-in-rooms rule that are neither
curbed nor reported, An official statement would serve
only to cloud the issue by adding another unfounded
pronouncement to the present litter of specific rules
and vague policies,

The response to the smoking rule is symptomatic of
the general attitude toward Self-Gov that plagues the
campus, The general philosophy of the social honor
system is submerged in a welter of rules, some ar-
chaic and fuzzy, others painfully detailed and irreve-
lant to the lives of many students. Entering fresh-
men are indoctrinated at once with a large dose of
Self-Gov principle, but the pressure to pass the rule
exam leads to a preoccupation with the myriad details
involved in winning a passing grade. The returning
hordes of upperclassmen, spouting doctrines of priva-
tism and personal rights, further negate the concept









of community ties,

The most effective remedy for this state of affairs
is education, and the most effective instructor is’ the
hall president. Freshmen should be taught early that
Self-Gov is «a philosophy of independence and consid-
eration, allowing room for freedom of principle with-
in a framework of mutual respect in- the dormitory
and in the college community. Upperclassmen need
to be reminded of the foundation beneath the restric-

Sampling of Professors Favors Pass-Fail _





Before a pass-fail system is Seriously considered by
the faculty or administration, there are many practical
questions which the students ought to keep in mind. Sev-
eral of these came up in an interview with Mrs, Alice
Emerson of the Bryn Mawr Political Science Depart-
ment. After commenting that the new policy of drafting
students probably was the cause of an increase in in-
terest in this system in men’s colleges, she said that
its many other advantages applied very well to Bryn
Mawr. She thinks that it is “certainly something we
ought to try.’?

The two purposes she sncihains a pass-fail system
as being able to implement are: 1) giving students a
chance to explore new areas other than their major;
and 2) working for a general de-emphasis of grades.
The pass-fail courses a. student takes thus ought not to
be a fifth course, because theoretically the student
ought to be working just as hard asif she were receiving
grades, If pass-fail were presented as just ‘another way
to audit a course and so were not taken as seriously as
it might be, discussion-based courses could be ruined by
pass-fail students continually being unprepared.

This brings up the problem of what kind of courses
a student might take on a pass-fail basis. We asked
several girls which courses they would like to take
this way, and no one specific course or field was men-
tioned particularly often. In fact, a surprising number
of girls said that the option of pass-fail wouldn’t
make any difference in their course choices. This sug-
gests that no one course or courses would be inundated
with pass-fail students,

‘Another question to be settled is whether or not the
teacher should know the student is taking his course
‘on a pass-fail basis or not. If not, should the girls re-
ceive number grades on papers and exams even though
these won’t go on the record? The University of Pennsyl-
vania’s new plan specifies that teachers will not know

the difference between pass-fail students and regular ~

ones. Mrs. Emerson’s point of view was that the faculty
should know the difference, so they wouldn’t have to
spend the time over their numerical grades. She also

felt. that it would be_impossible at Bryn Mawr to keep ~
a secret of who was taking a course on what basis.

What about the responsibility of the Deans’ Office?

_ Should they encourage students to take their pass-fail |
options in a. variety of courses, or let the student take

them all in one field? (All this goes on the supposition
that students would not be allowed to take a course in

their major or for graduation distribution requirements
as pass-fail.) Mrs. Emerson suggested that four semes-
ters oyt of 31 could be taken as pass-fail, Mrs. Emer-
son was inclined to let the student use her pass-fail
time as she wanted, after emphasizing to her the pur-
poses of the system.

Miss Frederica de Laguna, anthropology, when asked
to comment on a possible pass-fail plan for Bryn Mawr,
recalled its similarity with the second semester of her
senior year at Bryn Mawr, At that time, there were no
senior comprehensives and all the grades were compiled
by the end of first semester, so no grades received
during the second semester were recorded for graduate
school applications or for graduation class standings.

Miss de Laguna’s first reaction to the plan was that
it would make taking a fifth course easier, which she
does not see as particularly advantageous. However, if
it would in any way make school more fun (as she
remembers second semester of her senior year was),
she would be willing to try it. Basically, though, she
was not sure if pass-fail would make much difference
and advised everyone to wait to see how the new curri-

‘culum would work out, as well as how pass-fail worked in

other schools, before new changes are initiated here.

Her main point was that the Bryn Mawr grading sys-
tem wasn’t such a burden that it needed to be avoided
at any cost. In anthropology, she has found that‘her ma-
jors have no real problem in getting into graduate
schools,
grades,’ was her attitude.

Richard Du Boff, economics, was all in favor of some
kind of pass-fail system for Bryn Mawr. He saw it as
a possible step toward a much needed increase in
flexibility in student-teacher relationships. The pass-
fail system could introduce an atmosphere in which
students would be encouraged to be more imaginative
in their approaches to classes, in other words, to make
‘student application’? a more diversely expressed activ-
ity. He thought a pass-fail system would be particular-

ly adaptable to Bryn Mawr because of its small size and —
the supposed high intellectual quality of its students. Es-
“sentially he seemed to think that sucha system could very
_well lead to the kind of démotratic education Mr. Oppen-

heimer discusses in his article on page 6,

Mr. Melville Kennedy, political sciénce, also ex-
pressed an interest in adopting a pass-fail system, He
was in favor’ of ‘‘anything to encourage experimenta-
tion’’ in the eens aaa Mr. Du Bott, “he was con-

“Students are frightening themselves over

cerned with introducing more flexibility into the college
situation. He didn’t feel that grades deterred many stu-
dents from taking. courses here, but he did feel that
‘pass-fail would encourage students to take a fifth course,
which, unlike some of his colleagues,he saw as a point
in the system’s favor. He also said that a pass-fail
system in creating flexibility, might in some way help
‘to integrate Haverford offerings, which ought to be en-
couraged in any way it can.’? Discussing Haverford’s
pass-fail plan, he said that any such plan would be use-
less unless it was geared into the college’s credit ar-

Alinsky States

Unethical Methods Sophs Choose Majors;

Justified If Alternatives Limited Social Sciences Gain

by Nora Clearman

Saul Alinsky, speaking at Bryn
Mawr Tuesday night, managed to
provoke some of the controversy
he is noted for.

The objectives of his organiza-
tion, the Industrial Areas Founda-
tion, are based on the American
Dream, as conceived of by the
Founding Fathers -- to make sure
that no sizeable group is denied
economic opportunity or political
power. ‘{he bbject of his group is
to organize ona mass level, organ-
ization being the basis on which
man, from earliest time, has had
the power (ability) to do those
things he has wanted to do. In
organizing a community, the group
waits to be asked, for he feels
it has no right to go into any
community and say ‘‘we’re here
to help you.’”? This is no more
acceptable in a poor ghetto than
it would be in the Main Line.

The largest issue which Mr.
Alinsky discussed was that of the
kind of tactics he uses, which is
the most controversial aspect of
his work. He said that when there
are innumerable means possible
for achieving a goal, one can af-
ford to choose the most ethical,
the most acceptable means. How-
ever, if there is a limited number
of means to achieve a goal, one
may be forced to use means that
may be considered unethical or
may even be the tactics employed
by the enemy you are fighting. How-
ever, as long as any means are
available to achieve certain aims,
it is justifiable to use those means.
He drew. an analogy with people
who during the second world war
said that we should not ‘‘stoop”’
to using the tactics that Hitler
used, while meanwhile six million
people were being incinerated. He
severely criticized such people,
whose attitude is ‘‘we like your
aims, but disapprove of your
means, so we shall have to oppose
> you.’? Another point he made was
that when he is fighting a battle,
he must at times ignore the good
that comes from the same source
he is fighting, so that he can com-
mit himself fully: to winning that
battle. While Alinsky may have ap-
peared to be saying that any means
are justified by the ends to which

they are applied, I think that what
he was trying to express is that
when a battle is to be fought and
won, means with which to fight it
may not be ‘‘nice’? because the
means of those who do not have
the power to act are very limited.
It is too intellectual and unrealis-
tic to say that it is degrading and
unethical to use the same tactics
that are used by the opposition.

While a large part of the aud-

ience seemed to agree with much °

of what Alinsky said, many were
disturbed by his discussion of
ethics. Other problems were that
Alinsky did not give an idea of
the issues which he is generally
committed to fighting, and that
he did not speak of the specific

tactics his organization uses in
mass organization. We would have
liked to have had a better idea of
just what they do,.in a real physi-
cal sense, to achieve mass or-
ganization.

Alinsky was dynamic, partly be-
cause of his manner, but also be-
cause he is able to do what he sets
out to do. I think this adds a great
deal of weight to his discussion of
means; he has shown that when he
sets out to win a fight to give a
sector of people political power, he
can win it, so that the tactics he
uses are certainly effective. Alin-
sky showed that the reasons his

tactics are so often criticized is:

because he has no other ‘‘nicer’’
alternatives.

Members. of the Haverford
sophomore class have chosen their
major fields. Departments which
showed the greatest gains were
English, Political Science, and
Psychology. Twenty sophomores
elected to major in History, com-
pared to last year’s twenty-six,
While none of. the present juniors
are double majors, three students
in the present sophomore class
have chosen double majors and
two, interdepartmentals.

The distribution of majors in
the three fields of interest is
roughly proportional to that of last
year, the natural sciences losing
ground slightly.

Geology, History of Art, and
Italian have their first majors in
three years, while no sophomore
chose to study Engineering.

Distribution ._ of the present
sophomore majors is as follows:
44 in the humanities, 29-1/2 in
the natural sciences, and 62-1/2
in the social sciences, The number

Less Administration for More Cooperation

Martin Oppenheimer has taught at both Bryn
Mawr and Haverford. He argues for the estab-
lishment of a democratic education beginning
in the operation of the classroom itself. His
ideas include radical changes in ‘“‘elite
women’s colleges.’ )

Beyond the trite and the obvious comes the contro-
versial; so that ifI say Ihave had two great years at Hav~
erford and Bryn Mawr and have the warmest respect and
regard for the students at both institutions, that is trite,
though true, And if I add that students at both institutions
are being cheated to some extent in their education, that
is obvious -- for where is it-not so? —

For me there has always been a contradiction between
declarations of. the value of democratic education on the
one hand, and the autocracy of most classroom situations
on the other. My classroom isa contradiction as much as
any (note: I say MY, not OUR, which would be more
proper). Last summer, in an Institute for public school
teachers of ‘‘culturally disadvantaged children’’ which I
helped to staff, I was exposed for the first time to some
ideas which go under the heading of ‘‘student-centered
teaching.’’? This is a relatively non-directed system in
which the teacher acts primarily as a resource, and in
which students have to become fully involved in planning
the direction and content of the course. For the first time
I sensed that the contradiction wasn’t necessary. For the

- pu of teaching across cultural lines such a system

is ind sable, as those with experience in the Southern
Freedom Schools know; it is participatory democracy in

* the classroom. I believe this system to be just promis-

ing at the college level, though I can’t go into this in the
space provided here,

Open-Ended Education
But such a system assumes a certain kind of goal for
education: not primarily the learning of techniques or
skills with which to earn a living (including earning the
grades to get to graduate school), which canbest be done

in a barracks; nor the acquisition of what Veblen once
called ‘‘substantially useless information’’ serving as an
index to conspicuous consumption and hence status among
our elites, but rather learning about one’s self, one’s
relationships to others, and to the world around, and
what (if anything) to do aboutit, Itassumes that education
is open-ended, which is what I mean by eae
education. \

This brings me to another point, the unfortunately con-
tinuing inferior status of women in our society. The
women’s colleges were set up originally for reasons not
very different from Negro colleges: since women coyld
not enter the men’s schools, it was thought that separ-
ation might lean eventually to equality. In different ways,
neither the Negro colleges nor the women’s colleges have
succeeded in attaining equality, for separation is in-
herently unequal, as was pointed out by the Supreme Court
in 1954,

Matria rchial Bureaucracy

The women’s colleges, precisely because of their
separation, suffer from a culture lag which finds them
continuing to train young ladies to be indices of their fu-
ture husband’s status, a practice fostered by their cloist-
ered, classics-bound existences, Thus the paradox which
finas . matriarchies founded on the proposition of

equal rights for women blocking real equality of educa-

tion by refusing to integrate--understandable, alas, for .

matriarchs tend consciously or unconsciously to per-
ceive males intruding into their domain as threatening
in various ways. The matriarchal bureaucracy and its
relationship~ to. the inferiority complex is a social-
psychologically neglected subject to date, but it can per-
haps be suggested that true equality can be attained only
by true integration.

The elite colleges generally continue a segregated

existence. Not only are many segregated sexually,
absurd in trying to educate for the reality of today, but

Theatre, Music Group Interaction
Aims for Enrichment in the Arts

Lynne Meadow, President of the Bryn Mawr Arts
Council, reviews the current extent of coordination
in artistic endeavors, which aim for cultural en-
richment.

The artistic activities that occur on the Bryn Mawr
and Haverford campuses have become increasingly more
coordinated in the past years. Progressing from a
core of groups that were established as bi-college
activities, we now enjoy combined participation in cultural
traditions: formerly restricted to one campus, The joint
efforts that have produced more successful events in-
dicates the growing desire to expand and combine artistic
opportunities, There would seem to be two major reasons
for this increased coordination, Bi-college cultural
activities provide a healthy way of meeting members of
each campus, Instead of limiting social events to mixers,
students can now feel free to meet people on a basis
of mutual interest, The atmosphere of working, for
instance, on a College Theater production is certainly
conducive to mixing and is much less tense than being
shipped over to Haverford for a mixer.

The Bryn Mawr-Haverford College Theatre, Orchestra
and Renaissance Choir were among the groups originally
established as co-ed activities, Stemming from these
are events such as Haverford Class Night, Bryn Mawr
Arts Night, and Dance Concert, all of which, were not
originally designated bi-college activities, Casting Bryn
Mawr girls in this year’s Class Night not only made
rehearsals more enjoyable but also seemed to eliminate
much of the off-color humor often characteristic of
these plays, Bryn Mawr has made equal use of Haverford
talent for its traditional activities, Not only did Haver-
ford students play in the band for Junior Show but many
‘¢male’’ technicians were on hand to help the freshmen

with their show in February.
The Bryn Mawr Dance Concert now includes a sub-
stantial and talented number of Haverford dancers,



en Ps

This coordination incrgases attendance to a worth-
while presentation and also provides a fine outlet for
Haverford students who have no formal dance club of
their own, The Bryn Mawr Arts Night is also combined
with the creativity of both schools and encourages ex-
perimental presentations in an unlimited realm.

Arts Night, Class Night, Dance Club, and WHRC are
activities officially belonging to one or the other school,
Yet there is a reciprocal agreement that seems to invite
bi-college participation and attendance. Each school
retains its individual clubs and still interaction is com-
fortable and welcome, The combined College Calendar
certainly indicates the interest in knowing about the
other campus’ events, and why not? We each have artistic
facilities and we should feel free to take advantage
of all available opportunities, Perhaps a more coordinated
Art Series is next on a list of possible improvements,

“*The women's colleges, precisely because of their
separation, suffer from a culture lag which finds
them continuing to train young ladies to be indices
of their future husbands’ status, a practice fostered

by their cloistered, classics-bound existences.”

they are segregated from their surrounding communities
(the ‘‘real world’’), also contributing to an artificial
existence which impedes understanding. This often in-
cludes an appalling unawareness of the lives andfortunes
of even those members of the community who work on
campus. They continue as well to be segregated racially
and class-wise (though less so than formerly), for the
occasional summer institutes and ‘‘prep’”? programs
undertaken for their Southern brethren are tokenism only
and are entirely inadequate to the needs. of. both the
‘¢other’? populations, and students who presently fill the
elite schools.
‘Community of Scholars’

I think we must come to grips with the fact that if the
liberal arts college has a special job todo educationally,
this job cannot be done while competing with the multi-
versity for laurels that go. to the American Celebration,
Our job is presumably the pursuit of truth, and not the
sale of it--the challenge of our society, not its accept-
ance. That kind of job requires the creation of what Paul
Goodman calls ‘‘The Community of Scholars,”? which
means in part the extension of decision-making to all the
members thereof--one person, one vote, as in Neill’s
SUMMERHILL, (For such a community, Haverford’s
smaller size and Quaker tradition in decision-making
processes are: advantages which could be built upon.)
It means (partly to save money) more cooperation (in-
cluding co-ops) and less administration, more use of
the neighboring community as a classroom (especially
in the social sciences) and less building. It means having
all the staff and students really involved with each other
and with life, and fewer teachers whose only life ex-
perience has been cloistered academe. It means experi-
mentation and getting away from doing things in a par-
ticular way just because they work administratively
(including - class ‘‘periods,’”” grades, and taking exams
for a grade). Above all it means if you believe in demo-
cratic education you start behaving that way, starting
right in the classroom with decisions about how that
classroom is going to operate.

Martin Oppenheimer
Lecturer in Sociology
Bryn Mawr College

Wanted: More Coeducation

Joan Cavallaro, President of the Curriculum
Committee at Bryn Mawr, points out differ-
ences in orientation between departments at
Bryn Mawr and Haverford, and views the
possibility of Bryn Mawr students’ being
permitted to major at Haverford.

Haverford and Bryn Mawr have been working towards
more and better academic coordination over the past
years. An increasing number of students from each
college are taking courses at the other school each
year, Our Economics Departments are coordinated; the
Political Science course offerings of the two colleges
are in many instances complementary; alternating
courses in the Humanities are often arranged with the
other college in mind, so that a course not offered one
year at one school may be supplemented by a course
given that year at the other. The mess-up of this year’s
college calanders showed the importance of bi-college
cooperation. i

In short, it is becoming more and more obvious

that both colleges have only to gain by coordinating
their facilities more closely and by working towards
mutual academic goals. How else, one is often asked,
can small colleges keep up with the larger and co-ed
universities. Indeed, as early as 1904 M.Carey Thomas,
the first Dean and second President of Bryn Mawr,
‘foresaw a time when the need for them (women’s
colleges) would pass, when women would gain more
than they would lose by entering the more fully endowed
great universities ...’? (CAREY THOMAS OF BRYN
MAWR, by Edith Finch, p. 280.)
. The topic of bi-college coordination being fully upon
us, then, the two questions which must be raised and
thoroughly discussed this year and in the coming years
are: in what areas and by what methodscan the Curricu-
lum representatives of both schools enhance the bi-
college intellectual community? Just how much academic
coordination is desirable?





The first question, which has already been broached
in get-togethers of the Haverford student representa-
tives to the Educational Policy Committee and the
Academic Flexibility Committee with members of the
Bryn Mawr Curriculum Committee, begins with the
cliche problem of ‘‘communication.”? Better communi-
cation on all fronts: Committee-student, student-
committee, committee-committee, committee-faculty,
faculty-committee, historical-comical-pastoral. Both
groups acknowledged that students could take more
initiative in making known to all undergraduates the
possibilities for petitioning for a change in academic
requirements, the course offerings at the siblingcollege, .
and so forth. With better understanding of the particular
emphasis of corresponding departments and content and
arrangement of courses, students could make a more
educated guess in choosing their coursework.

More important, bi-college rather than separate dis-
cussion of such ripening topics as pass-fail courses
can help set the stage for the development of mutual
academic goals and attitudes towards education. The
most promising field for cooperation in intellectual
outlook lies in the possible changes of the future, and
henceforth any major innovations contemplated by one
sphool should be considered in the light of both colleges,

As to the second question, both colleges should address
the larger. question of how much the educational facil-
ities of the colleges should be combined in order to best
serve the interests of students and faculty, M. Carey
Thomas challenged in 1920: “‘The very first step (that "|
university women should now take) seems to me to be
the demand for unqualified, true, out and out co-education,
Only by having the schools and universities co-educational
can we ensure the girls S the world necekying thoroughly

Economics: Example of Bi-College Federation

Morton Baratz, Professor of Economics. at
Bryn Mawr, reviews the successful federation :
of the Haverford-Bryn Mawr Economics De-
partments. This might be seen as a prototype |
for further departmental coordination.

Until 1958, the Bryn Mawr and Haverford Economics
departments were self-contained units, operating in
virtual isolation from one another, Each consisted of
three full-time faculty members, offering a substantially
similar undergraduate curriculum to equally small
numbers of students of equivalent capabilities, :

Partly by force of circumstance’ and partly by con-
scious plan, the two departments between 1958 and 1964
collaborated more and more closely in curriculum plan-
ning, faculty recruitment , library- accession policies, use
of visitors, and other matters, Perhaps most notably, a
real start was made at eliminating duplicate course
offerings; each department stopped teaching one or more
courses which the’ other was better suited to provide
to students of both colleges, As a result, economics
classes at the two colleges became increasingly co-
educational, And what is far more important, both the
depth and the breadth of economics education at the
two institutions was increased,

The success of: past efforts and the conviction that
there were further significant gains to be realized
prompted the development of a plan under which the
two departments, for undergraduate teaching purposes,
virtually integrated their course offerings, effective in
the’ academic year 1965-66, The main features of the
scheme are these:

1) A full ange of courses appropriate toa B.A, degree
~ in economics is offered in the federated departments, But
with the single exception of the introductory course,
which is a prerequisite for all further work in the
discipline, _ there is no duplication of effort, The
‘*methods’’ course and all upper-level courses are, in
other words, divided among the members of the two
departments purely on the basis of the special interests
and skills of the joint teaching staff. As noted above, the
introductory course is offered yearly at both colleges;
this is fully justified by the facts that (a) enrollment in
that course is comparatively large at both Haverford
and Bryn Mawr, and (b) it is highly desirable on
pedagogical grounds to keep individual classes small.
Every effort is being exerted, however, to minimize
inter-college differences in content and teaching tech-
niques at the introductory level, This is both desirable
and necessary: desirable, because it makes it feasible
for the occasional student, faced with insoluble

scheduling problems at the ‘home’ college, to cross
the pike for the elementary course; and necessary,
because students from both colleges attend all upper-
level courses on a completely mixed basis,

2) The elimination of duplication in course offerings
makes it possible for the federated departments to enrich
the economics curriculum in ways never before feasible,
Specifically, new courses are being offered in advanced
economic analysis, theory of economic development, and
non-Western economic development, (The last-named
course incorporates the special knowledge of various
members of the two departments about countries in
Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia.)

3) To maintain stability and continuity in the teaching
program, it has been agreed in advance that no more
than one person in the federated departments will be
on sabbatic leave in any given year. Thus we do not
need to recruit temporary replacements from outside
the two colleges, Overlapping interests are the key,
Every course offered falls within the special interests
and competence of at least two'members of the perma-

Different Philosophies Govern

nent staff, As a Fesult, rotating sabbatic leaves permits
enlivening shifts in teaching assignments without lower-
ing the level of instruction in any course,
4) It was recognized that. the plan would not work
effectively unless at least six persons were on hand for
full-time teaching at all times. Consequently, a seventh
person recruited, on joint..appointment at the two col-
leges, The person in question does not specifically
replace anyone on leave in any given year. He is, rather,
a permanent member of the federated departments, called
upon like the other six members to teach two or three
different upper-level courses over a period of years,
Although scheduled to begin in 1965-66, the federation
went, into effect for practical purposes in September,
1964, Over the past 18 months or so, remarkably few
difficulties have cropped up, and those have been solved
with dispatch, It seems safe to say, therefore, that the
arrangement will not only survive, but will ripen in
years to come, Morton Baratz

Student-F aculty Communication

Laura Krugman, Bryn Mawr, '67, contrasts
the difference between Bryn Mowr and Haver-
ford’s philosophy of student integration into
faculty committees. Bryn Mawr does not have

students and faculties together in any im-

portant official capacity, while Haverford has

just begun doing so.

Bryn Mawr and Haverford base their systems of
student-faculty coordination on differing philosophies of
college government: with an eye toward a common goal.
Students join Haverford faculty committee meetings to

add their voices to the determination of policy, while-

Bryn Mawr students maintain independent committees
that meet with their faculty counterparts.

The present Haverford system is the product of recent
reforms, At its January 20 meeting this year the faculty
voted to permit students to attend its committee sessions,
The Students’ Council will appoint two representatives
to each of the college groups: Academics Flexibility,
Admissions, Arts and Services, Educational Policy,
Honors-Fellowships-Prizes, Library, and Phillips-
Rhoads- Distinguished Visitors.

Language Curriculum Demonstrates
Departmental Bi-College Cooperation

Hugo Schmidt, Chairman of the German De-
partment at Bryn Mawr, points out that in the
langudge departments cooperation at the two
schools is already much in evidence. How-
ever, there are some obstacles to further
integrative steps.

Cooperation has never been an issue for two of our
modern foreign language departments; the Italian andthe
Russian, Haverford has no Italian Department, and in-
terested students have to come to Bryn Mawr to take
courses, If they so desire, they may major in Italian
at Bryn Mawr. Ih Russian, the two colleges have a
jointly appointed faculty. First and second year courses
of Russian are given both on the Bryn Mawr and the
Haverford campus, the more advanced courses at Bryn
Mawr only. Members of the Russian Department are
full of praise for the healthy spirit of competition gen-
erated in co-educational classrooms, but have some
reservations on the matter of their joint appointment.
Being a member on two faculties entails twice the amount
of administrative work,

The degree of cooperation varies in the other lan-
guage departments, Serious .obstacles exist on the
elementary level of instruction, Classes meet three times
a week at Haverford, fite or six times at Bryn Mawr,
“Students advance at different rates, with the result that
the second year students from the two colleges are no
longer compatible, Bryn Mawr seems to be more de-
termined to stick to its five weekly meetings than Hav-
erford to perpetuate its three: beginning with next year,
the German and Spanish Departments at Haverford will
offer elementary language courses with five meetings
per week -- the German Department only in one section
and on an experimental basis, Yet it seems that elemen-
tary language courses, even if they should be run com-
pletely parallel, would not be integrated, but for reasons
of practicality, conducted independently on the two cam-
puses, There is one additional complication: Haverford
students might find it impossible to cope with one in-
tensive, five- hour language course in addition to four
other courses, It might be necessary to give double
credit for such a course and assign it two units--a
controversial matter, from the administrative viewpoint,
Yet coordination on the elementary level is the pre-
_requisite for systematic efforts to cooperate in the more
advanced classes,

Some language departments list advanced literature
courses. offered at Haverford in the Bryn Mawr. catalog,
and Haverford reciprocates, Departments plan course
offerings and schedules in agreement with each other,

not to mention extracurricular activities and guest lec-

tures, It is obvious that a greater choice of literature
courses is desirable for students both here and there,
The faculty benefits too: individual members can have
a better chance to concentrate on areas of their own
interest in their course programs than they would if
each department were completely self-contained and
had to cover a larger area with fewer people, Members
of language departments have sat in and participated in
the final examinations of majors at the other college
who have done some of their work under them, Students

at Haverford have found that some departments at Bryn °

Mawr offer a greater variety of systematic, carefully
planned period course than they find at their college,
and Bryn Mawr students have often been attracted by
seminar-type courses on specific authors and topics that
Haverford likes to offer.

Close cooperation on the graduate a would be auto-
matic if Haverford had a graduate program. In fact, its
lack of one raises problems whenever the question of
joining departments completely is brought up: most
members of the Bryn Mawr faculty do part of their work
in the graduate school and could not bécome full-
fledged members of a joint undergraduate department
to the extent to which their colleagues at Haverford

could,
Hugo Schmidt
Chairman of the German Department
Bryn Mawr College



Although students do not have the privilege of voting,
their influence is still felt because all committees reach
their decisions by consensus, When students disagree
with the verdict of the faculty, they may register their
dissenting opinion,..The faculty reserves the..right to
exclude students from any sessions,

This procedural innovation is designed to provide
students: with an opportunity to participate actively in
the actual mechanism of college government, According
to Gerhard Spiegler, professor of religion and member
of the Educational Policy Committee that presented the
proposal, the plan is an acknowledgement of the student
role, s

Spiegler calls the system ‘‘one other recognition that
students are not ‘merely children’ but that they have
rights as members of the academic community,’’

Bryn Mawr approaches the same issue from another
direction, Both the Haverford arrangement and the purer
community. government arrangement that seats repre-
sentatives of students and faculty on joint committees, as
at Mount Holyoke College, are rejected,

Instead, Bryn Mawr relies upon cooperation among

autonomous groups under the central jurisdiction of the ~~

Board of Directors of the college, Student committees
control entirely student matters, faculty committees
control entirely faculty matters, and the two meet
together on issues of common interest,

A significant break in this pattern is the joint honor
board that combines members. of faculty and student
body, In other overlapping areas independent committees
collaborate on issues of mutual concern,

Autonomous «student boards that correspond exactly
to these groups are the Curriculum Committee, recently
elevated to the position of one of the Big Six.campus
organizations, and the Undergrad Library Committee,
During the series of curriculum upheavals, student and
faculty committees worked closely in cooperation to
produce the program of reforms,

According to President McBride, the Bryn Mawr
theory of college organization is based on the premise
that students learn more from operating independent
committees than from merely participating in a faculty
creation,

Although no direct link exists between students and
some faculty committees, channels of communication
are furnished by these permanent bodies of coordination,
Any major policy change considered by a faculty com-
mittee is brought up before College Council and student
representatives may then voice their views,

Miss McBride summarizes Bryn Mawr’s choice of
system as ‘‘the way in which communication is best,’’

“Haverford’s goal is. the same, but its method is not.
Both colleges share, however, an interest in close
cooperation in college affairs by students and faculty
to achieve an integrated community power structure
that answers the requirements of all its participating
members, Laura Krugman



Nina Daniels and Debbie Epstein join Haverford students in Prof. Roger Lane’s History 12 class under
the trees. More than one hundred Bryn Mawr girls are enrolled in Haverford courses.

Student Activities
Show Cooperation

Mike Bratman, President of Hoverford’s

Students’ Council, gives several examples of

students attempting to increase communico-

tion and action between the two campuses in
areas of curriculum.

Bi-college cooperation is a much talked-about notion
that means different things to different people, It tends
to be a vauge notion which some see as.a kind of panacea
for both Colleges’ ills, It is not that, However, that it
can. be something both worthwhile and possible is
witnessed by the publication of this bi-college edition,
I’d like to touch on two major aspects of bi-college
cooperation, The first has to do with its desirability
. and extensiveness; the second with its implementation,

Drawing lines, whether in foreign policy or in
romances, is usually an unwise thing to do. Bi-college
cooperation is no exception, Clearly, there are areas
of cooperation, yet unexploited, from which both schools
could profit, Cooperation is, in itself, neither good nor
bad, Rather, in each area--for each separate problem
--we must consider the advantages and disadvantages
of the various degrees of cooperation and integration
of facilities that are possible, There are no a priori
limits to cooperation which can be applied to all areas
and problems, On the other hand, we must be prepared
to recognize the many difficulties which face any ex-
tensive integration between the schools, Bryn Mawr has
a graduate school; Haverford does not, Haverford has
self-scheduled exams; Bryn Mawr does not, And so on,
Surely one of the first steps toward integration is to
take into. account and, where possible, eliminate these
diverse factors, Only then can the second step,--
intense discussion between the schools about each
particular problem--have any chance of success,

This brings me to the second aspect of the topic:
the concrete means of achieving mutually beneficial
bi-college cooperation, Here I'll concentrate on the
roles that students can play. I’ll not try to set down
any vague, prescriptive generalizations. Rather, Pll just
note some of the things which have been happening
recently in this area and hope that they can, in some
way, be suggestive of possible future courses of action,

A sort of bi-college student curriculum committee
has been formed, combining members of Joan Caval-
laro’s Bryn Mawr committee with Haverford student
alternates on the student-faculty Educational Policy
Committee and Academic Flexibility and Standing Com-
mittees, The obvious immediate problem for these
people to consider includes both the desirability of, and
the means of achieving increased opportunities for Bryn
Mawr students to take Haverford courses and for Haver-
ford students to take Bryn Mawr courses, This might
entail the possibility of Bryn Mawr students receiving
some major credits for Haverford courses and/or
Haverford students receiving some limited electives
credit for Bryn Mawr courses,

The Haverford ‘‘Culture’’ Committee and the Bryn
Mawr Arts Council have recently met together to talk
about and begin planning such things as regular bi-college
trips to the Barnes Foundation and an extensive bi-college
art exhibit making use of the anticipated Haverford Art
Workshop.

The Haverford committee which is working on putting
out a course-evaluation booklet by next January hopes to
consider a possible bi-college publication next year with
the Bryn Mawr traditions committee,

These are just a few examples, and ones which, I
think, show much promise. In each case there is a par-
ticular objective, In no case is there any a priori limit
placed upon the extent to which integration between the
schools would be mutually beneficial, The citing of
particular, realizable, goals is intended to incite con-
structive action, not to place any limit on it.

Tower Provides

Last Thursday I was wandering around campus picking
flowers. Beware the Haverfrod! I had been warned before
leaving the dorm, and heeding the admonition I was pok~-
ing under bushes and tree stumps, searching out scouts
and other nefarious types. I found one Haverford fresh-
man hiding in a tree and sternly ordered him to scram.
He gobbled something about inter-college cooperation but
1 turned an unrelenting cheek and knifed him in the back.
I felt a twinge of guilt as I dumped his body into the
Cloisters pool, but after all, it had been done in the name
of Virtue and Bryn Mawr College.

Bat, alas, every Eve has her apple. Temptation came

along in the form of a white Fiat. Within ten minutes
I had beéh seduced into joining up with the Haverford
troops in their annual May Day effort. As we drove
away I felt keenly the loss of our innocence, and yet
whole new vistas seemed to be opening up before me.

The troops were meeting in New Dorm basement. I
walked into an atmosphere much like a grade B war
flick. John Wayne ‘stood on a chair waving a map of
Bryn Mawr and allotting areas of attack to the various
squadrons. It was all terribly thrilling and reassuring,

‘the flower of American manhood and all that, I watched

meekly, a woman grateful for the opportunity to be in
on a Great Event, to witness all this masculine organ-
ization and splendor.
Scaling the Tower
WE HIT AT 3:15! Thus spake John Wayne (and a solemn

. pronouncement it was)..An admiring buzz passed over the

room, The words stirred my soul and echoed dramatical-
ly in my mind even after we were tucked safely in the
dorm. So at 3:00 I abandoned my bridge game and

climbed the. four (puff). flights to the tower. It was cold ~

and drizzly, but could that stop me? No. The wall lI
had to climb was fifteen feet high, but could that stop
me? No. The ladder was still down on the second floor
--. and if THAT couldn’t stop me, nothing could, I re-

trieved the ladder and scaled the wall. Once I had.

reconciled myself to being eighty feet off»the ground
(and had begun to remember not to look down) I turn-
ed my attention to an aesthetic appraisal of my sur-
roundings,

Bryn Mawr looks different from the top. Especially
in the fog. The Library looks very Scottish and for-
bidding, the science building (believe-it-or-not) is ethe-
real, (Seen through trees) the campus seems a minor
Camelot. I couldn’t see the Burns Guards. Occasionally
I saw a beam from a flashlight, the only sign of life in
an idyllic setting. And yet, deep in my heart, I knew that
somewhere out there in the dark, Bernie and Alfie (and
Frenk) were subtly protecting Bryn Mawr’s honor.

Cherry Bombs and Cop Cars

Then BAPPO, a cherry bomb went off and 100 Haver-

ford feet stormed the Maypoles, bearing 50 whooping

View ar hase!



“Sure, you expect to meet strange people at a

_mixer. But Boy Scouts??”’

Haverfrods against five or six Burns guards, I discerned
an enormous mass converging from three directions (as
directed --- one group up from the science building,
one through Pem Arch, and one from behind Merion).
Things started happening then. Cop cars streamed out
of nowhere, long lines of them came from the Ville
and around by Miss McBride’s house, Lights started go-
ing on in the maids’ quarters. Inspired, I added my own
noise to the clamor on the Green:

Rip *’em up, tear ’em up Police brutality Every-

body out for volleyball (more fuzz, more fuzz)

Anassa kata kalou kalei Munson Hicks is over the

(give *em hell Quakers) proverbial hill,

Then, amid all the excitement, there was a sudden
quietus, Retreat? I thought, Oh surely not, And yet,
in the silence, I distinctly heard John Wayne’s voice:
Aw, whut the he-yull, As if on cue, the troops disap-
peared (were they serving doughnuts in Pembrooke)?
and there I was -- abandoned, forsaken, and wet.

It seemed like a disappointment at the time. But
they did redeem themselves the next day with the
Chinese dragon they brought onto Merion Green in the
midst of the actual May Day festivities. Yet even then
one could derive a certain feministic satisfaction from
the symbolism of their dragon bowing down to Miss
McBride. Emily McDermott

‘Coordination Through Governments

Demands Patience, Understanding

Mrs. Dorothy Marshall is Dean of Bryn Mawr

College. While noting the increase of cooper-

ation lbetween Bryn Mawr and Haverford, she

emphasizes that there are differences between
the two schools which must be considered.
when evaluating student governments.

Nowadays, Bryn Mawr and Haverford students co-
operate over a wide range of extracurricular matters.
Joint theater ventures, joint concerts, joint literary
reviews and joint political activities have all been
successfully and profitably undertaken, Although current
undergraduates probably take such cooperation for
granted, as a matter of fact it is relatively recent.

In the very recent past, academic cooperation between
the two colleges has increased as well. Departments
have planned complete joint programs, others have

~ planned closely together but without entirely combining



relationships as well as academic ones, some Haverford students are unwilling to avail themselves. of
‘these chances. Bill Yates and Gregg Jackson share o happy, carefree moment aboard the bi-college bus.





their offerings. Student exchange registrations have
increased and will, I imagine, continue to do so as
disciplines become more and more complex, In addition,
from the students’ point of view, exchanges are easier
than ever because of the availability of transportation
and meal exchanges. :

The kinds of cooperation which I have mentioned have
all been special in the sense that each has had a definite
and limited purpose--the production of plays, for example,
or the presentation of concerts. .

As the kinds of ‘‘special’? cooperation have increased,
naturally more students have become involved. Con-
sequently the relationship between the two colleges which
historically has been based on the common interest of
specialized groups will change to a relationship in-
volving total communities. More over-all and long-range
planning will probably beconie necessary and the interest
of each college in the procedures, aims, and government
of the other will no doubt, increase. Thus the student
organizations whose responsibilities are general rather
than special (at Bryn Mawr, Self-Government Association
and Undergrad) will, I think, find two-campus issues to
be within their jurisdictions. So far such organizations,
as I see it, have tried to be mutually helpful but without
loss of autonomy, and it is the evolution of these or-
ganizations which will be interesting to follow in the
future. Cooperative efforts between the ‘‘generalist”
organizations is infinitely more complex than in the case
of the ‘‘specialist?? ones, Their responsibilities are
broader, they have different procedures; their goals and
purposes are not necessarily the same. As I have talked
with students, I sense that the relationships of student
governments to the undergraduate body and to the colleges
as a whole vary. Some of these differences merit con-
sideration to assure that there is mutual understanding.
I have heard Bryn Mawr student officers express
puzzlement over Haverford procedures and a Haverford
suggestion to re-structure Bryn Mawr student organiza-
‘tions seemed to me to show that the nature of these
organizations was misunderstood. :

Whatever the differences and problems, the governing
organizations will need in all probability to assume wider
responsibility for two communities which are not
identical. A good future for the two governments is
essential to the continuing strength of both colleges, and

‘to keep them abreast of the times will require wisdom

and patience on the part of all.Dorothy Nepper Marshall

THE HAVERFORD NEWS - THE COLLEGE NEWS

Page Nine



Fryde Mutton was just saying ‘‘You can run faster
through the woods than a squad car can’? to a group of
attentive freshmen as I walked into the New Dorm
basement shortly before midnight last Thursday. I
remembered how we had been warned last year that
the sadistic Burns men were ready to shoot, billy-
club or arrest any intruder in heroic defense of Maypoles,
chastity, and other sundriés. Now I rejoiced at the
prospect that Haverford was really going to mount a
serious attack against the Merion poles. ,

Five or ten minutes later the traditional meeting to

reveal this year’s plans began. Standing on a chest

were the two leaders, Mutton and Lancy Paxon. To
their right stood John Gaymood, cigarette dangling from
his ,lips and looking as if he had just returned from a
caribou hunt. Next to him was the honorable Christopher
Tong Lee-Sah, dressed in janitor’s green and looking
like a cross between a Bell Telephone wireman and
Buster Keaton. Obviously these men were pros. I
tensed in eager anticipation. A
- No Plans

Actually I would have done better to stay in my room.
After a lengthy rendition of past May Days in all their
glory, Fryde speaking with breezy informality, Lancy
displaying his mastery of 1958 slang, we were in-
formed that there were, at the moment, no plans, The
only interesting moment came when Pathic Kickoff,
every Haverfordian’s favorite Bryn Mawrter, brought
in. the news that bells were ringing in Taylor.
Somehow the significances of this pronouncement eluded
me, but I will confess to being only a novice in these
matters. The ugly head of.police brutality was raised
again when Paxon told us ‘‘There are ten to fifteen
cop cars in the ‘hot area’ and about seven more pa-
trolling around,’’ a typically ridiculous claim in keeping
with May Day tradition.

The upshot was that there was to be another meeting
around 2 am. to reconsider. Not being content with
this, I returned to Lloyd where I got together with a



sails Mawr and Haverford cooperate on the May Day
raid.

small group of sophomores. We arranged to meet
behind Baldwin ten minutes later. On our way there
we encountered a group of freshmen (residents of
Barclay’s South Kingdom) who had gone over to Bryn
Mawr earlier. Thus when we all rendezvoused behind
Baldwin we numbered about fifteen.

Naturally wishing to keep our position secret, the
first thing we did was to set off an M-2 firecracker.
This big bang must have made a deep hit'with the
nubile residents of Baldwin, In any event, we decided
to split up in small groups, reconnoiter (to use the
technical word), and hope to storm the poles after
the freshmen demolition experts (Ed Napper, Tom
Backhand, et. al.) had made a diversion with their wie
works.

Denbigh Visit Is Pointless Camp

Slim Fritter, Brass Tackins and myself went off on a
circuitous route that took us through some of the finer
lawns on the’ Main Line and behind Spanish House,

‘ coming out in back of Denbigh. This was a pointless

but enjoyable jaunt (a generalization one can usually
make about May Day as a whole). It would have been
easier to walk right up New Gulph Road but that, of
course, would:not havé been Camp, After running into
more members of South Kingdom and one cop rodding
around in a BMC station wagon, our group of three
eventually reached the far end of Radnor.

Here we snuck around for a while, creeping from
tree to bush, trying to avoid the flashlight of one of
the Merion defenders who occasionally walked our way,
and succeeding in doing little but soaking our pants
from the damp ground, The evening quiet was periodically
punctuated by the sound of fireworks, but it was obvious
that our pitifully small force could do nothing. Tiring
of all this, and having taken the pause that refreshes,
we decided to come right out and approach the police
in the hope that I could hawk my journalistic wares
and get an interview with one of Bryn Mawr’s finest,
(police, that is).

I can’t say we were received very hospitably. Showing
the usual reluctance of a flunky to speak for the public
prints, the cop we approached told us to move on. He
did, however, consent to respond to the question of

how he was enjoying the evening’s labor. ‘‘I get such a -
kick out of this can’t believe it,’? he said with en-

thusiasm.
Making our way to Pembroke, we had a more picaey
conversation with the local lantern man. A veteran of




many a May Day, he was not surprised by any of the
commotion which had taken place, nor did he find
anything wrong in the precautions BMC had taken

against Haverford aggrandizement. He himself was calm
about the whole business but told us, ‘‘The watchman

in Taylor Hall is so scared he wants to quit.”’

Wine and Maypo les
Just at this time Lancy Paxon pulled up with Kickoff.

By some coincidence it was about ten minutes to two,
and now we understood why nothing had been planned
until after 2 a.m, We asked Lancy if anything was in
the air and, with a hint of cheap wine on his breath, he
told us to go back to the New Dorm. He ended curtly
by saying ‘‘Don’t talk, move!’’ Suitably inspired, we
hitched a ride with Speed Lie and Hoppy Sampkins.
When we informed Hoppy that it was May Day, he
suggested with characteristic bluntness, ‘‘Why don’t
we go get a Maypole?”’ This well-thought-out proposal
was squelched when Lie, who was driving, said ‘‘I
don’t give a damn about the maypoles,’’ reflecting the
realistic perspective of most Haverford upperclassmen.

The meeting at the New Dorm at 2:15 revealed that
there was, in fact if not in brilliance, a plan. Very
simply, we would attack in waves from different parts
of the Bryn Mawr campus, Rendezvous points were
established, as were approach routes; I might add that
the tortuous routes used to reach BMC always provide
the most ridiculous feature of the May Day raid(and
that is saying a mouthful), as the police never care how
you get to BMC but only that you don’t get near the
poles. Last year we simply went over in a taxi.

One hour later everyone was lying in wait. At 3:18
a.m., April 29, 1966, firecrackers went off and fifty
or sixty screaming (or flaming) Haverfordians charged
the maypoles, Rather unsuccessfully. Faced by twelve
cops with flashlights, the Mongol hordes grew confused
and contented themselves with occasional short-lived
charges at the poles and with baiting the gendarmerie.
The moral support of the girls in Radnor, Merion and
Denbigh failed to arouse the passions of the invaders.
Somehow Lancy Paxon was taken prisioner, and the
evening ended rather ignominiously as (John Gaymood)
the great white hunter, concluded what has to be the
worst treaty since the sale of Manhattan by the
Indians. In exchange for the release of Paxon, Haverford
agreed to cease attacking the poles.

lnvincible A Team

Nevertheless, May Day this year was not a failure.
The day before a group of Haverford students, who
wish to be known only as ‘‘four men, invincible, the
A team’ secreted the practice Maypole in Goodhart
in a backdrop for ‘‘Long Day’s Journey into Night.’
The pole and backdrop had been rolled up and suspended
from a batten forty or fifty feet above the Goodhart
stage. The Bryn Mawr authorities, inferior to the guile
if. not the physical might of Haverford students, had
failed to recover it.

At 3:15 p.m. Friday afternoon a Haverford College
truck staffed by one of the ground crew, three men of
the A team and yours truly, pulled up to Goodhart.
Backdrop and pole were quickly lowered, and by 3:25
the truck was on its way back to Haverford, bearing
its precious cargo, On the way we were passed by a
car whose driver bore a curious resemblance to Presi-
dent Borton, We, in turn, passed a police officer who
seemed somewhat intrigued by our cargo, He looked
even more quizzical when one of the A team asked him
if he had been asleep the night before. By 3:40 the pole
was back stage at Roberts. Less than five hours later
it was making a pleasant addition to the Bill Monroe

re Secondrate Hopscotch

Having deposited the Goodhart pole in Roberts, we
made a quick trip back to Bryn Mawr to catch the Maypole
ceremony itself. Last year I had spent all of May Day
eve at Bryn Mawr but had decided around 8 a.m. that the
Friday morning breakfast of pancakes at Haverford
would be a more worthwhile experience. Now I was
anxious to see if all the ludicrous remarks I had heard
about the Maypole bit were really true.

Without a doubt, they were, Shortly after 4 p.m. the
procession began. Preceded by a small contingent of
the Haverford Kazoo Corps playing a raucous melody
which I recognized as the Maypole song, one hundred
or so girls came traipsing up the drive from Pembroke.
Monotonously clad in blazers, blouses and skirts of
blue, white, and light green, they were sheepishly going
through some kind of two-step march faintly reminiscent

May Day ’66: A Question of Comic Relief

of a second rate troupe of hopstotch artists,

Meanwhile, a few yards away at Merion Green, Miss
McBride was waiting with two attendants colorfully clad
as members of the Queen of Heart’s court in Alice in
Wonderland. The Burns men had unobtrusively blended
into the surrounding foliage. As the girls reached Merion
Green they broke for their poles, something like a
Le Mans start in an auto race. Then, to the accompani-
ment of. the ubiquitous Kazoo Clods, the Maypole dance
began,

It looked like a painful experience. Exhibiting the
smooth coordination and movements of a lame dog,
the girls slowly weaved their way around the poles
wearing expressions of mild’ embarrassment, singing
songs barely audible over the laughter of Haverford
students and the clicking of cameras. While this was
going on a group of Haverford students from French
House and 5th entry of Lloyd made one last attempt to
disrupt May Day. Cunningly concealed in a dragon, they
approached Miss McBride, bowed, and then slipped off
for a fast smoke.

After the dance ended, everyone gathered around the
center May Pole. Caroline Willis, honored as Queen
for a Day, gave a nice little speech in which she dis-
cussed much needed reforms at Bryn Mawr. (Sample;
close BMC for 1966-67). Then President McBride gave
her own speech, which had been hastily written on the
backs of envelopes. It was a charming talk but un-
fortunately the good woman lost most of her punch
lines to the random laughter of the precocious daughter
of Bryn Mawr English prof Peter Leach.

Foliowing this the crowd moved éver to the library
for the annual Pem East dragon play. All I can say about
this is that its quality was wholly consistent with the
general reputation of that well-known dorm. After
each class had been given a chance to sing some songs
and the seniors had rolled their hoops, May Day was
officially over.

Theater of the Absurd

Looking back on May Day as a whole, my experience
suggests that the whole thing is suitable for adaptation
to the theater of the absurd. Consider, if you will, the
efforts of Haverford students, freezing and wet, to some-
how snatch a Maypole from right underneath the alert
gaze of a dozen cops who for their own part, would
rather be off getting plowed somewhere. Last year, when
the poles were locked up in Merion, the Burns men
were able to have a nip or two without any worries.
This year they had to stay sober. Consider the attitude
of the Bryn Mawr and Haverford administrations, the
former absurdly protective of its sacred institutions,
the latter almost contemptuously disdainful of its more
energetic students. Consider the pained looks on the faces
of Bryn Mawr girls participating in this farcial exercise.

Nevertheless, from the Haverford point of view,
May Day can be a lot of fun. In a college growing in-
creasingly dull of late, featuring fewer food and water
fights, this is one of the few events remaining that
displays the essential immaturity of the Haverford
student at its best. It can be a real gas to run around
the Bryn Mawr campus, hiding from your own shadow,
watching firecrackers explode under police cars, getting
soaked to the skin crawling on the ground, ~

Jamming police Walkie- Talkies

The most promising aspect of this year’s raid was
the evidence of technical ingenuity on the part of the
Haverford student. An effort was.made to jam police
walkie-talkies by putting a jamming device in one of the
BMC dorms. An attempt to innundate Merion Green
under foam aborted with disastrous consequences in the
arrest of two students but gives indication of a whole
new promising field of special effects opening up. Last
but not least the successful snatch of the Goodhart
pole by the A team is to be commended.

However, drastic escalation will be needed for Haver- —
ford to overcome the garrison tactics currently in use
at Bryn Mawr. As John Gaymood said in a Sunday
evening post-mortem of the>raid, ‘‘We were really
surprised by tke stiff resistance of the cops.” Re-
flection over the last few days has led me to the con-
clusion that the best means of spoiling May Day would
be to have the whole thing totally ignored by Haverford,
Without the comic relief provided by our efforts, BMC
girls would probably come to look on the whole thing
as an even more ridiculous drag than it is now but
would still be stuck with having to participate in it.
That would be the worst fate of all. Jack Rakove

Bryn Mawr’s annual May Day (though panned in the photo cap-

style despite the overcast weather and hungover Haverford.
Sophomores awakened their sister class at 7:45 a.m., and the
campus enjoyed the traditional breakfast of strawberries, while
Haverford stayed home for its breakfast of champions. At 4:00
in the afternoon came. the procession through Pembroke Arch, the
Maypole dancing, the speeches of Miss McBride and May Queen

' Bluegrass Displays Instrumental Virtuosity

Mostly out of curiosity, partly at the suggestion of
George Stavis, I crept into Roberts Hall last Friday for
my first encounter with Bill Monroe and bluegrass music.
I found the first five minutes almost exciting; the musi-
cians played with pretty ferocious spontaneity and ac-
curacy, a clear knowledge of each other and the tricks
of group improvisation; there were even elements of
virtuosity. To fasten attention on the music itself was
disastrous; when, inevitably, one started noticing it the
evening started rolling down-hill,

After several selections, it became evident that the
only ‘thing distinguishing one piece from another was
tempo, and the occasional intrusion of vocal line, For-
tuitously, Monroe’s garbled diction saved the audience
from what must have been singularly fatuous lyrics, But
the whine of those nasal voices, that insistence on the
natural fourth, that crouched and smiling bass line, those
innocuous cadences -- the monotony. of it all drew out
whatever -blood and fervor were present in the perform-
ance’s folk idiom! ’

There is no question that a lot of training is demanded
for music of such immediacy and energy. The violinist
had tight grip on clean intonation and healthy bowing, and
he seemed to be one of the blessed. few who enjoy per-

-_forming, adding a little life to the grey-and-poker-faced

presence of the banjoist and Monroe himself. But as is

Bluegrass Music

Bill Monroe’s attraction to urban audtehces is diffi-
cult to fathom, His music does not-possess the complex-
ity of classical or modern efforts, so the intellect is
not sated by that~means, In fact, any attempt to dis-
parage Monroe for his lack of complexity must neces-
sarily fail, for this ignores the basis of the music,

One of the first attractions of the city audience to
Bluegrass is the instrumental virtuosity, The music is
often fast and difficult to play. But a great deal of
creativity is also involved, Much as in jazz, the stan-
dard pattern is to set up a simple melody and then play
variations and improvisations, This often leads to wild-
ly different versions with subtle syncopations and tim-

Marnie Provides

May Day Idiocy

The May Weekend was graced by the showing of
Alfred Hitchcock’s delightful MARNIE, As the smoke
lifted and the lights died, MARNIE began with some of
the most ridiculous acting seen in Haverford’s crop of
movies this year. Sean Connery, hairy chest and all,
played opposite Tippi Hedren (Oh, most mellifluous of
names!),

. Connery was not playing his famous superman role,
but rather a super-god role, however obviously neurotic,
He not only befriended but married and cured (in that
order, of course) the poor, beautiful, ‘‘lying, cheating,
stealing but ‘decent’ ’’ Marnie,

Having married her, his real fun starts, No, not that
way. She is frigid and he is ‘‘kind’’ but he has the great
fun of reading up on Freud, listening to her nightmares
sleuthing around (or rather, having someone do it for
him--he’s not Bond now), and caring, With the aid of a
farsical sister-in-law (Oh, what beautiful lines she has),
his millions, Alfred Hitchcock controlled storms, and
‘gobs of ridiculousness, he, in short, effects her dra-
matic cure, For those of you who had the great mis-
fortune of missing the film, I shall spare the gory
details and simply say that in the midst of Marnie’s
recall of a bloody and beautiful substitute for a primal
scene, it turns out that her mother loves her after all,
Exit the two love birds to live happily after.

A hearty round of applause should gotoall the storms,
colors, camera men and cliches that make MARNIE the
treat it is. Mitchell Wangh



typical of most popular music, the playing of the group
invoked, mainly, the embroidery of a few basic patterns
of bowing or fingering, over the simplest of progressions.

Monotonous

ing changes, Richard Greene, Monroe’s fantastic fid-
dler, demonstrated his creations to the enthusiastic
audience in his versions of traditional tunes like ‘‘Old
Joe Clark’? and the TOUR DE FORCE, the ‘‘Orange
Blossom Special,’’

Monroe shone in his compositions such as ‘‘Rawhide,’’
and ‘*Roanoke,’’ the first of which has become the stan-
dard piece for all aspiring mandolinists, Lamar Grier,
the banjoist, while not as fldshly as the others, dis-
played competence and imagination in both his backup
and lead, The rhythmic backdrop was provided by Pete
Rowan’s excellent. guitar work and James Monroe’s
solid, if uninspired, bass,

The other element of Bluegrass music, the vocals, is
more likely to be ignored by the urban listener, Yet
this is where the music carries its meaning. The sing-
ing -has a raw, emotive character which has the same
roots, if a different expression, as Negro country and
blues singing, Monroe, for example, learned much of his
style from a Negro blues fiddler with whom he played
in his youth, The singing in Friday’s concert was car-
ried mainly by Monroe and Pete Rowan, the guitarist.
Rowan’s singing, like Monroe’s, was clear and strong,
if lacking in range of dynamics, Monroe himself, with
his imaginative tenor harmonies and a voice that is
solid from the top to bottom of its range, provided the
vocal highlights of the evening.

In ‘‘Wayfaring Stranger,’’ ‘‘I See the Light,’’ ‘Uncle
Pen,’’ and ‘‘Sweetheart of Mine, Can’t You Hear Me
Calling,’”’ the group collaborated in smooth and exciting
part-singing, and Monroe’s rendition of ‘‘Muleskinner
Blues’? is something hard to forget. Those who think
of Bluegrass as loud and flashy should note how Monroe
controls his voice, with great sensitivity and deep feeling,
over a range from a murmer to a shout,

The music, then, is of folk origins which reflect
the feelings and needs of the people who developed as
their own expression, In the hands of an artist like
Monroe, this feeling can be expressed to audiences
other than the people for whom it was originally in-
tended, There may be some who find this music coarse
compared to the classical fare we are used to, But folk
music is not trying to replace Mozart and Haydn--
nor Boulez and Stravinsky. It is -- an exciting personal
music, and structurally simple, quite different from
classical, It does not pretend to immortality. However
a diet of unremitting profundity leaves one witha Gothic-
towered, Teutonic mind, The great composers needn’t
turn in their graves if we hear some country music be-
tween symphonies, DF DalMaso



\giplecdac Norman Miller brings his Boy Scouts to the cook-in.







Monroe and The Blue Grass: Boys



My response was admiration for the cleverness and the
difficulty of the patterns, the network and its articulation
among the group. I don’t care to remark on how different
this is from one’s feelings toward the far more sophisti-
cated technical accomplishments of an Odetta, a Baez;
to mention nothing of the warmth or depth of the Ameri-
can folk ballad at its best.

The audience, or rather most of them, did not share
my disappointment, Devotees shouted requests and heaped
violent: applause on the performers. The music had its
appeal, granted; the Arts Series does have its obligations
to popular taste. However, I would venture to say that the
value of ‘*Blue-grass’’ music, like all strictly improvis-
atory music, is in playing it, not in listening to it, Taking
out a guitar and putting your spirit into it can be great
fun and very healthy; but it is only sometimes music.
Monroe and cohorts do some interesting things, and get
some interesting sounds; musically they are static, and
they can only reinforce moods in an audience, not lead
them to the higher experiences of more demanding listen-
ing.

Discipline doesn’t stop with virtuosity, or technique;
it begins with that. I think, what ‘‘Blue-grass’”’ needs is
an attitude that will make greater demands on it, as is
the case with other forms of popular music, And here it
has a subtly defined importance, the refinement of public
taste. Unless such developments occur, I am going to
read a novel or the newspapers when Bill Monroe per-
forms. again; I don’t want to go out of my way to find the
banal,

Beethoven’s Mass
Highlights Night

The combined choral groups of Bryn Mawr and Hav-
erford Colleges, together with the Bryn Mawr-Haver-
ford Orchestra, performed Beethoven’s ‘‘Mass in C
Major’’ Friday evening, April 22, in Goodhart Hall under
the. direction of Robert Goodale, The performance was a
solid, satisfying one, There were intonation problems in
the strings at times, and an entry in the ‘*Credo’’ that
came out impressionistic rather than classical,
but these flaws did not offset the total impression of
cleanness and balance.

This ‘‘Mass’” is a straight forward and vigorous,
yet lyrical work, abounding with dramatic loud-soft
contrasts and unexpected twists of harmony, All these |
features came out clearly. The orchestra (which had
prepared the work in a very short time) did well, and
the chorus did even better, especially in the energetic
fugal passages, The four soloists were Patrice Pastore,
soprano; Sarah Matthews, alto; Howell Zulick, tenor,
and Robert Goss, baritone. Each one deserves praise
for the graceful blending of the four voices that made their
passages--mostly ensemble ones--a delight to hear,

Though in some parts of Goodhart the balance was
said not to be good (par for the course in Goodhart),
from where I sat it was excellent, Cetain soft passages,
Much as the ‘‘Et sepultus est’’ might have been effec-
tive even softer, but in general the dynamics were well
pointed up. Mr. Goodale’s knowledge and love of the
piece were evident in his finely-wrought presentation
of it.

The concert began with a repeat of the earlier
performance of the Marcello oboe concerto with Ed-
mund Hazzard, ’66, as soloist and Alexander Blachly;
’67, as conductor, As before, Hazzard’s outstanding
playing and Blachly’s clear aiid careful conducting lent
a momentary glow of spendor to the rather routine
Baroque cliches of the music,

right?” The man b the desk gives a quick, un-dull-

This is the clincher and as he says it the admissions

a worldly man-to-man smile, So come April of your senior
year as you sit clutching a gaggle of acceptances, that
sentence floats back into your mind. And with Spring all
around and visions of Seven Sisters dancing in your head
you send Princeton (‘‘so isolated’’) et. al.fluttering off
in the wind and op for Haverford.

It was our third day on campus and already we felt
strange glandular stirrings. No one had so much as
mentioned Bryn Mawr and the only females we had seen
spoke a strange tongue except to occasionally cry, ‘‘Boy

~=

come make-e bed, boy’ at insane hours in the m g.

Finally in the middle, of the quad we burst out:

‘So what’s the scene with these Bryn Mawr girls. Are

adhey really speeds? I mean, where are they?’

Jack Suave emerged from the pup tent thathe had been
forced to occupy because of the room shortage.

‘J have been here for four years now and you could
take all the fun I’ve had with Bryn Mawr girls and put it
in a gnat’s navel and have room for three caraway
seeds and the brain of ial Committee Chairman.’? -
He clapped his hands an oli inned maiden emerged
from the tent bearing a breakfast tray.

A Toga Party

‘¢Smith ’66 and a divine cook,’”’ he said.

After two weeks it started to look bad, But we were
sure that nice fellow in the admissions office hadn’t
fibbed, Finally we found Bryn Mawr-Haverford social
life at a Roman style gathering presided over by a Latin
scholar with a slight Boston accent. There they were-
through the smoke of the apartment--Bryn Mawr and
Haverford talking, dancing, touching. We edged over to a
straight-haired girl who sat gazing intently into a dixie
cup of scotch.

‘‘Do you come to these things often?’’ we asked.

‘Yes, I find the sub-mating rituals of the American
adolescent fascinating. Don’t you???

’ Not long after came our first Bryn Mawr date. One of
the most telling experiences with Bryn Mawr is calling
a dorm. At some, a spritely voice answers and when you
ask for a girl a chorus of excited squeals echoes down
the corridor until finally a friendly voice answers,
pleasantly out of breath.

At Rhoads, however, a sultry voice answers with a
tinge of ennui, You give the girl’s name and in the back-
ground a voice says,

**Is Rosalind back from Princeton yet?

' ¢¢,., She must be, it’s been almost a week now.”’

‘eWell,’ this call puts her into the lead for the weekly
pool with forty-six.”

We planned that first date with care. We decided
shrewdly that those Bryn Mawr girls are probably tired
of big evenings. For a switch we’ll just catch the film
at Roberts and go back to the room to talk. We arrived
in coat and tie and were immediately mistaken for an
FBI agent. ‘‘Cover the flower boxes!’’ someone yelled.
We were ushered into the room, where the two room-
mates looked us over. They had a clever code for telling
the girl dressing what to wear. It consists of shouting in
a loud voice,

‘*Why, you’re wearing a tie.”’

Sitting in the room after the film, we tried to explain
that we had not realized that it was going to be ‘‘that kind
of film.’ Suddenly we froze, Tht$ was not:a dizzy debu-
tante, a junior college party girl. No, this was a Bryn
Mawr girl, a girl of the stiffest intellectual fibre, who

’ ¢¢As she continues through the four undergraduate years,
should begin to know the personal satisfactions and re-
wards that are the common heritage of scholars.’”’ The

M. Carey Thomas. slogan floated through our mind,
‘Only our failures only marry ...’’ What else did they
do, we wondered.

The Prep Approach

But all was not lost. We immediately launched into the
old cheese and wine play.’She started*to: say something
about the. German novella and we quickly countered with



Scott Fitzgerald.

*¢Have. you ever studied the French Bourbons? They
have a fascinating history.’’

‘Really? I thought they were all distilled in Kentucky.”’

Gradually, you pick up the tricks of the trade. One of
the most useful is the ‘‘I hear the food at Bryn Mawr is
great’? ploy, This is accompanied by a look of acute
malnutrition and a series of shuffling hand gestures to
indicate that you are a compulsive bridge player. With
luck this will garner you an invite to dinner. The girls
do not rap on the table when you enter but occasionally
there is a stage whisper, ‘‘who in the world is he?’ and
a chorus of derisive giggles. Until you get accustomed to
it their quaint habit of jumping to their feet and bellowing
announcements in unison can be unnerving. After dinner
the girls don green eyeshades and you are asked to par-
ticipate in some of the most cut-throat bridge in the world,
Unless you truly love the game your best bet here is the
‘¢you all play Cuban System, of course’ play followed by
rapid suggestions of Go Fish, Slap Jack, and Acey-
Ducey.

Best of all Bryn Mawr - Haverford social functions, of
course, is the mixer. Here, with expert use of the elbows,
you can execute several smooth maneuvers, It is a good
idea to fill your pockets with cookies. They are usually
the best thing at the mixer and enable you to use the
famous ‘‘Have a cookie’? move. The idea here is to stick
the cookie into the chosen girl’s mouth before she can say
a word and then lead her choking onto the dance floor. By
the time she can speak, her fiance’ will have returned to
find the girl gone and depart in a funk.

Across from the Pem East mixer at the foot of the
stairs stood a girl in a tee shirt that said, ‘‘Moon-
Equipped.”’ We straightened our tie.

What do you like best about Haverford?’’ we asked
confidently. :

‘‘Well, my favorite young man goes to Princeton. You
know what they say - Princeton men and Haverford boys,”’

Immediately the girls on the stairs began to hum ‘‘Old
Nassau.’”? We asked the Burns guard sitting inthe corner
about Bryn Mawr-Haverford relations.

The Proven Way

‘Nothing to worry about,’’ he said. ‘‘I just generally
keep an eye out ... Most of the guys don’t know it -- but
we’re armed.’’ He patted his hip.

We began to get advice from all sides. One successful
Haverford senior headed for Harvard Law next year con-
fided,

‘'The thing is, you’ve got to be low key. You goina
dorm and if you see a girl you like, you say, ‘‘I mean
would you like to have a cuppa coffee or something, per-

haps??’

Another successful senior in blue jeans, wire rims,
and five o’clock shadow, told us,

“Get rid of those grey flannels, ditch the weejuns, ge
yourself a lumberjack shirt.”

We tried it, but Denbigh was the wrong place. The girl
in the Bergdorf Goodman dress looked at us in horror.
We mumbled something about a cup of coffee.

“]’m sorry,’ she said, ‘‘I haven’t a cent with me, but
they may be able to give you something in the kitchen.”®

Your first Haverford dance can be a disturbing experi-
ence. When you walk in and find that the band outnumbers
the guests you should promptly swing into the ‘‘Well,
small, room parties are really more fun, don’t you think???
gambit. The experienced Bryn Mawr girl will nod slightly.
Now you must immediately follow this up with ‘‘Joe said
that a few people might come over.’? You fully expect no
less than fifty swingers tobe jammed into Joe’s suite, but
it is best not to arouse her hopes unduly. Should Joe have
finked out, and this does happen, then you will be set for
Haverford’s only indigenous social activity -- ‘‘checking
out the action at .? As you slip from New Dorm
to Barclay basement to the cricket house you must keep
up a steady stream of uproarious comment so that your
date may not notice that she is spending the night hiking.
If, however, she starts to lag behind you can resort to the
time-tested ‘‘Shall we catch our breath a moment under
that tree’? play. This must be done with care however
for rather than quickening her step aBryn Mawr girl will
occasionally accept.

This can be the most disturbing experience of all.
Should you then begin the renowned ‘‘You’re very pretty



Jr




ess -Is a Warm Bryn Mawr Girl

for a Bryn Mawr girl’? ploy with accompanying advancing
movements, you are doomed, Bryn Mawr girls are past
masters of the ‘‘Do you have a cigarette ... a stick of
gum, then’? defense. Others mention a slight case of
trench mouth while psych majors generally look you in
the eye and say ‘‘Have you ever stopped to think why you
want to do that?”

If, however, Joe has come through you will find the
well known ‘Frank Fortis’ party, named after the gallant
young man crushed to death at one particular lively
affair in a New Dorm single. The important thing to do
here: is learn to recognize your date by your sense of

touch for the cigarette smoke will soon obscure her
from sight.
One goateedstudent who looked faintly like Alfred Drake
explained the procedure:
‘¢The way to a Bryn Mawr girl’sheartis with a glass.”
Shut Up and Deal

“Do you like gin??? we asked a likely looking girl.

‘*T’d love to play a few hands.’’ she replied.

‘¢Blue-what! music?’ the girl shrilled, ‘‘No, I’m sorry
I never go out with Haverford boys,’’ said the blonde
Denbigh sophomore who looked as if she might have come
from a small New Hampshire town. We asked why.

‘¢You go out with a Haverford boy andthe next morning.
the whole campus knows every initmate detail.”” We beat
a hasty retreat with cries of ‘‘Kiss and tell’’ ringing in
our ears, Outside a statuesque girl inadenim work shirt
slinked by. .

‘*What is it about Bryn Mawr-Haverford social con-
tact??? we asked in desperation.

**It?s all wet,” the Merion junior said moodily.

The major hurdle facing the prospective social gad-
about is the competition for bids from the two eating
clubs -- Tenth and Comet.

A senior reminiscent of an Italian screen star super-
vises the rushing for Tenth. Once in it is important to
be handy with the darts and a slight brogue is useful.
The competition for Bryn Mawr girls is fierce with a
group of fortyish ex-Mainline playboys dorfinating the
field. If you go Comet it is imperative to develop a
smooth ‘‘There’s nothing like a hamburger, afterall.’’
Status comes when Paul and Charlie‘ask if you are having

It ‘was Saturday night and we stood nervously in the

looked up from the pile of IBM cards marked ‘‘Cohabit.’’

‘*you have come to the right place. On the basis of
our exhaustive computer research there is an ideal Bryn
Mawr-for every Haverford boy.’? We expressed disbelief.

‘‘No, it?s true. Look we have one boy who wants a
number seven groomed girl - the sloppiest_possible. And -
sure enough there is such a girl for him.”

We filled out the form and the information was fed into
the computer, The machine buzzed, hummed and then
with a burst of static went silent,

‘¢That’s very odd,’ the computer man said.

The couple paused a moment in front of the library.
The young man was blonde. We had seen the girl’s face
somewhere before.

‘¢What do you think of Bryn Mawr social relations???
we asked,

‘*Well,”? he said, ‘‘at the end of my sophomore year
I. was convinced that all Bryn Mawr girls were or should
be under the care of a phychiatrist.’’

‘¢What happened??? we asked.

‘¢Well, I discovered this book, ‘‘Daphnis and Cloe’?

Haverford defeated Swarthmore
6-4 last Monday in a game which
had been rained out the previous
Saturday.
The stickmen jumped on starting

pitcher Ebenezer Small for five
runs and four hits in the first
inning. Lead-off man Rick Smith
singled to right and was safe at
second when Small threw Sturge
Poorman’s grounder wildly to
second.’ Skip Jarocki grounded to
second and forced Poorman,
Jarocki stole second, and fourth
batter Don Urie walked. Dave Fel-
sen beat out an infield grounder
for a hit, and Smith scored, The
next batter, Dan Murphy lined a
single to left. Jarocki came home,
and Urie, who appeared to be a
sure out at the plate, knocked the

_ball out of the catcher’s hands,

Jeff Stevenson singled to center
and Felsen scored, Third base
coach Fred Szydlik, who was
giving the green light all day,
waved Murphy in. In a play at the

‘plate almost identical to Urie’s,

Murphy knocked the ball from the
catcher.

lead until the fifth inning. After

field. Centerfielder Herbert
bobbled the throw and Murphy, who
fad been on his way, rounded third
and headed for home. Third base
coach Szydlik decided that Murphy
did not have a chance at the plate,
and when he saw that he wasn’t
slowing down, he, as Murphy put
it: ** ... knocked me down, then

promptly called Murphy out for
interference. Sydlik seemed to dis-
approve of the call, and there was

Week’s Athlete
Tom Trapnell

Junior track captain Tom Trap-
nell has been chosen as this week’s
Haverford Athlete-of-the-Week,
He took two first places in last
week’s narrow loss to the Franklin
and Marshall Diplomats. Despite
slow times on the wet F & Mtrack,
Trapnell had little trouble in
capturing the 120 yard high hurdles
and the 220 yard low hurdles,

Even though he is nursing a
case of shin splints, Trapnell has
been one of the more consistent
performers on this year’s team,
He has scored 38 points in five
meets this season, taking six firsts,
two seconds and two thirds, and is
the leading scorer on the team.

-Trapnell doubles as end on the
varsity football team in the fall
and forward on the second-place
Junior B intramural basketball
team in the winter.

Engel and Bob Herron played very
well, shooting 76 and 79 re-
spectively, recording 3-0 and 2-1
wins, Engel’s round was the best
of the season for the Fords, and
might have been even better had
he not bogeyed the last two holes.
Dick McConaghy also won, 2-1/2-
1/2, scoring an 83, But Eric Brown,
Pete Loesche and Clyde Lutton
were only able to manage one half
point among the three, enabling
Muhlenburg to take the match
despite decisive losses in the No, 1
and 2 positions.

-Against Lehigh and F&M on May
2, the squad had evenless success,
Bob Herron played an inconsistent
round, shooting a brilliant 35 on
the front nine at Merion, but fall-
ing to 44 on the back for a total
of 79, good for a 2-1 victory over
Lehigh and a 2-1 loss to F&M,
But Engel, in his worst perfor-
mance of the year, scored an 82,
and fell to Lehigh 3-0 and to
F&M 2-1/2-1/2, Except for Eric
Brown’s 2-1/2-1/2 decision
against his Diplomat opponent, no
other Ford golfer was able to win
a point, The final count showed
16-2 and 14-4 defeats at the hands
of Lehigh and F&M respectively.

Engel, questioned after fin-
ishing several drafts of his latest
economics paper, tried to explain
the causes of the disasterous sea-

son..‘‘We’ve been besought with

putting woes; even on our home
course,’”’ shouted the Ford golfer
in an understatement,

Joseph’s 6-5.
St. Joe’s scored first in the

second inning when Ford starter .
Amos Chang walked lead-off batter

Butz. He advanced to third on Ted
Hinkel’s single to right, and scored
on a wild pitch,

Haverford came back in the
fourth, Don Urie struck out, but
Jim Ritter walked and went to
second on Jeff Stevenson’s single
to right field. Glenn Swanson made
it to first on a fielder’s choice,
and the bases were full with only
one out,

The St. Joe’s chucker, CarlGaf-

frey, proceeded to walk catcher
Keith Tunnell, thus scoring Ritter.
Chang flew out to the center fielder
for the second out, but Skip
Jarocki smashed ‘a double to right,
scoring Rick Smith, who had gone
in to run for Stevenson, and Swan-
son,

Haverford held their 3-1 lead
comfortably until the seventh in-
ning. A throwing error by Glenn
Swanson on a hurried play put
first with none out.
After shortstop De Angelis. popped
out to Swanson, another error,
this time by Felsen, put another
runner on, In a strategy move,
Vince Martini came to bat in place
of Harrington, the eighth man in the
batting order, Martini knocked one
over the Little League left field
fence and St. Joe’s led 4-3,

Don Urie evened things up in the
top of the eighth. The. lead-
off hitter that inning, he blasted
the ball out of the park. But St.
Joe’s also scored in their half
of the eighth, After Sabion ground-
ed out to Murphy, Butz doubled
to left field; In an effort to get
Hinkel on a close play at first,
Murphy threw the ball away. Gaf-
frey grounded out, but then De
Angelis rapped a double into
centerfield knocking in Hinkel and
making the score 6-4.

In a desperate effort to pull it
out, Haverford managed to get its
first two batters of the ninth inning
on base. Keith Tunnell got an
infield single, and Sturge Poor-
man, pinch-hitting for Chang,
doubled to right. With runners on

. second and third, Jarocki struck

out, Felsen grounded out to short-
stop scoring Tunnell, and Murphy
fanned, ending Ford hopes.

F & M Defeats Fords

As Trackmen Improve

by Jack Rakove

The Haverford track team took
a short trip up Lancaster Pike to
meet Franklin and Marshall
April 27 and made their best show-
ing of the year to datg losing 72-
58. The Fords, however, were
not at all disappointed by the final
score,

The trackmen made their best
showing in the 120 yard high hurdles
and 220 yard low hurdles, Tom
Trapnell and Bob Singley finished
first and second, respectively, in
both events, while Phil van New-
kirk added a third in the highs.

Pete Batzell and Terry Little
finished one-two in the 440 yard
run to provide Haverford with eight
more points, Batzell’s winning time
was 52,9. Renner Anderson added
six more points with two second
places in the 100 and 220 yard
dashes,

Denny Lanson notchedhis second
victory of the year in the half-
mile, winning in a slow time of
2:07.7 on the rain dampened F & M
track, Running at his usual steady
pace, freshman Steve Rolfe took

second in the mile in #43,

Terry Little took first place
in the two-mile to stay undefeat-

ed for the season, Bob White was
third behind Little’s winning time
of 10:12,

Freshman John Sargent scored
Haverford’s first points of the
year in the pole vault, cracking
the 8-foot barrier to take second
with a vault of 8’6’’.

Marsh Robinson pounced over the
high jump bar at 5’8’’ to tie his
F & M opponent, but took second
on the basis of more misses,

Vance Senecal lost for the first
time this year in the javelin, but
did take a third.

In the last event of the day,
the mile relay, the Fords sur-
vived a dropped baton by Lanson
to win their first of the season.
Batzell, Rolfe, gand Little rounded
out the team,

Two days later the same motley
crew journeyed to Franklin Field
to compete in the Pop Haddleton
Mile Relay, named after the former
Haverford coach, This time Lanson
held on to the baton, but his slow
time of :58 hurt Ford chances,
The other members of the team
all ran. sub 53-second quarters
but Haverford’s time of 3:37 was

«only good for a sixth, The Cadet
' quartet from PMC won event
jin a fair time of 3:28.3.

{ 4,3

Jim Predmore, moving up from
number two last year, dominated
Bob. Swift with a hard backhand
and good net play to take the Ford
first man‘6-1, 6-1, At number two
the Garnet’s Roy Van Til had
little trouble with Doug Meiklejohn,
the Ford co-captain falling 6-3,
6-3, Dave Koteen at number three
used his usual strategy of the
deep lob but was unsuccessful,
dropping both sets 6-4, 6-0 in a
short match,

Steve Greif, the team patsy-
baller and winningest member, lost
the first set 6-1 but used the
great patsy-ball.equalizer to make
the second set a closer 7-5, Dave
Delthony and Tom Bretl, the fifth
and sixth men, lost to Dave Laitin
and Bob Kneisley, Delthony dropped
his match in a quick 6-1,
6-2, and Bretl followed suit with
a 6-0, 6-1 loss,

The first doubles team of
Koteen-Meiklejohn won one of
Haverford’s two sets for the day
in a match that went 6-1, 4-6,
6-1. Bob Swift and Al Aladjem,
previously undefeated at second
doubles, lost the closest match
of the day 6-4, 6-4, Aladjem com-
bined good net play and smash-
ing serves to relieve the tiring
Swift,

In the last match Haverford took
its only other set as Greif-Del-
thony lost 6-2, 2-6, 6-1, :

Swarthmore is always a power-
ful team, but this year’s defeat
was unusually devastating. Under
their nationally known coach, Ed
Faulkner, the Garnet fielded a
team which simply outclassed
Haverford on a day when none of
the Fords played well,

THE HAVERFORD NEWS - THE COLLEGE NEWS

From This Side of Paradise. ~~



Hap

‘¢,.. but all study and no play makes Joe a dull boy,
right?” The man b the desk gives a quick, un-dull-
boy. chuckle and you look shyly down at your freshly

io, we allow girls in the rooms until incredible

“hours. And ... Bryn Mawr is within walking distance!”

This is the clincher and as he says it the admissions

“man spreads his hands palms up on the desk and gives you .

a worldly man-to-man smile, So come April of your senior
year as you sit clutching a gaggle of acceptances, that
sentence floats back into your mind. And with Spring all
around and visions of Seven Sisters dancing in your head
you send Princeton (‘‘so isolated’’) et. al.fluttering off
in the wind and op for Haverford.

It was our third day on campus and already we felt
strange glandular stirrings. No one had so much as
mentioned Bryn Mawr and the only females we had seen
spoke a strange tongue except to occasionally cry, ‘‘Boy

~=

come make-e bed, boy’ at insane hours in the m g.

Finally in the middle, of the quad we burst out:

‘So what’s the scene with these Bryn Mawr girls. Are

adhey really speeds? I mean, where are they?’

Jack Suave emerged from the pup tent thathe had been
forced to occupy because of the room shortage.

‘J have been here for four years now and you could
take all the fun I’ve had with Bryn Mawr girls and put it
in a gnat’s navel and have room for three caraway
seeds and the brain of ial Committee Chairman.’? -
He clapped his hands an oli inned maiden emerged
from the tent bearing a breakfast tray.

A Toga Party

‘¢Smith ’66 and a divine cook,’”’ he said.

After two weeks it started to look bad, But we were
sure that nice fellow in the admissions office hadn’t
fibbed, Finally we found Bryn Mawr-Haverford social
life at a Roman style gathering presided over by a Latin
scholar with a slight Boston accent. There they were-
through the smoke of the apartment--Bryn Mawr and
Haverford talking, dancing, touching. We edged over to a
straight-haired girl who sat gazing intently into a dixie
cup of scotch.

‘‘Do you come to these things often?’’ we asked.

‘Yes, I find the sub-mating rituals of the American
adolescent fascinating. Don’t you???

’ Not long after came our first Bryn Mawr date. One of
the most telling experiences with Bryn Mawr is calling
a dorm. At some, a spritely voice answers and when you
ask for a girl a chorus of excited squeals echoes down
the corridor until finally a friendly voice answers,
pleasantly out of breath.

At Rhoads, however, a sultry voice answers with a
tinge of ennui, You give the girl’s name and in the back-
ground a voice says,

**Is Rosalind back from Princeton yet?

' ¢¢,., She must be, it’s been almost a week now.”’

‘eWell,’ this call puts her into the lead for the weekly
pool with forty-six.”

We planned that first date with care. We decided
shrewdly that those Bryn Mawr girls are probably tired
of big evenings. For a switch we’ll just catch the film
at Roberts and go back to the room to talk. We arrived
in coat and tie and were immediately mistaken for an
FBI agent. ‘‘Cover the flower boxes!’’ someone yelled.
We were ushered into the room, where the two room-
mates looked us over. They had a clever code for telling
the girl dressing what to wear. It consists of shouting in
a loud voice,

‘*Why, you’re wearing a tie.”’

Sitting in the room after the film, we tried to explain
that we had not realized that it was going to be ‘‘that kind
of film.’ Suddenly we froze, Tht$ was not:a dizzy debu-
tante, a junior college party girl. No, this was a Bryn
Mawr girl, a girl of the stiffest intellectual fibre, who

’ ¢¢As she continues through the four undergraduate years,
should begin to know the personal satisfactions and re-
wards that are the common heritage of scholars.’”’ The

M. Carey Thomas. slogan floated through our mind,
‘Only our failures only marry ...’’ What else did they
do, we wondered.

The Prep Approach

But all was not lost. We immediately launched into the
old cheese and wine play.’She started*to: say something
about the. German novella and we quickly countered with



Scott Fitzgerald.

*¢Have. you ever studied the French Bourbons? They
have a fascinating history.’’

‘Really? I thought they were all distilled in Kentucky.”’

Gradually, you pick up the tricks of the trade. One of
the most useful is the ‘‘I hear the food at Bryn Mawr is
great’? ploy, This is accompanied by a look of acute
malnutrition and a series of shuffling hand gestures to
indicate that you are a compulsive bridge player. With
luck this will garner you an invite to dinner. The girls
do not rap on the table when you enter but occasionally
there is a stage whisper, ‘‘who in the world is he?’ and
a chorus of derisive giggles. Until you get accustomed to
it their quaint habit of jumping to their feet and bellowing
announcements in unison can be unnerving. After dinner
the girls don green eyeshades and you are asked to par-
ticipate in some of the most cut-throat bridge in the world,
Unless you truly love the game your best bet here is the
‘¢you all play Cuban System, of course’ play followed by
rapid suggestions of Go Fish, Slap Jack, and Acey-
Ducey.

Best of all Bryn Mawr - Haverford social functions, of
course, is the mixer. Here, with expert use of the elbows,
you can execute several smooth maneuvers, It is a good
idea to fill your pockets with cookies. They are usually
the best thing at the mixer and enable you to use the
famous ‘‘Have a cookie’? move. The idea here is to stick
the cookie into the chosen girl’s mouth before she can say
a word and then lead her choking onto the dance floor. By
the time she can speak, her fiance’ will have returned to
find the girl gone and depart in a funk.

Across from the Pem East mixer at the foot of the
stairs stood a girl in a tee shirt that said, ‘‘Moon-
Equipped.”’ We straightened our tie.

What do you like best about Haverford?’’ we asked
confidently. :

‘‘Well, my favorite young man goes to Princeton. You
know what they say - Princeton men and Haverford boys,”’

Immediately the girls on the stairs began to hum ‘‘Old
Nassau.’”? We asked the Burns guard sitting inthe corner
about Bryn Mawr-Haverford relations.

The Proven Way

‘Nothing to worry about,’’ he said. ‘‘I just generally
keep an eye out ... Most of the guys don’t know it -- but
we’re armed.’’ He patted his hip.

We began to get advice from all sides. One successful
Haverford senior headed for Harvard Law next year con-
fided,

‘'The thing is, you’ve got to be low key. You goina
dorm and if you see a girl you like, you say, ‘‘I mean
would you like to have a cuppa coffee or something, per-

haps??’

Another successful senior in blue jeans, wire rims,
and five o’clock shadow, told us,

“Get rid of those grey flannels, ditch the weejuns, ge
yourself a lumberjack shirt.”

We tried it, but Denbigh was the wrong place. The girl
in the Bergdorf Goodman dress looked at us in horror.
We mumbled something about a cup of coffee.

“]’m sorry,’ she said, ‘‘I haven’t a cent with me, but
they may be able to give you something in the kitchen.”®

Your first Haverford dance can be a disturbing experi-
ence. When you walk in and find that the band outnumbers
the guests you should promptly swing into the ‘‘Well,
small, room parties are really more fun, don’t you think???
gambit. The experienced Bryn Mawr girl will nod slightly.
Now you must immediately follow this up with ‘‘Joe said
that a few people might come over.’? You fully expect no
less than fifty swingers tobe jammed into Joe’s suite, but
it is best not to arouse her hopes unduly. Should Joe have
finked out, and this does happen, then you will be set for
Haverford’s only indigenous social activity -- ‘‘checking
out the action at .? As you slip from New Dorm
to Barclay basement to the cricket house you must keep
up a steady stream of uproarious comment so that your
date may not notice that she is spending the night hiking.
If, however, she starts to lag behind you can resort to the
time-tested ‘‘Shall we catch our breath a moment under
that tree’? play. This must be done with care however
for rather than quickening her step aBryn Mawr girl will
occasionally accept.

This can be the most disturbing experience of all.
Should you then begin the renowned ‘‘You’re very pretty



Jr




ess -Is a Warm Bryn Mawr Girl

for a Bryn Mawr girl’? ploy with accompanying advancing
movements, you are doomed, Bryn Mawr girls are past
masters of the ‘‘Do you have a cigarette ... a stick of
gum, then’? defense. Others mention a slight case of
trench mouth while psych majors generally look you in
the eye and say ‘‘Have you ever stopped to think why you
want to do that?”

If, however, Joe has come through you will find the
well known ‘Frank Fortis’ party, named after the gallant
young man crushed to death at one particular lively
affair in a New Dorm single. The important thing to do
here: is learn to recognize your date by your sense of

‘Well, my favorite young man goes to Princeton...’

touch for the cigarette smoke will soon obscure her
from sight.
One goateedstudent who looked faintly like Alfred Drake
explained the procedure:
‘¢The way to a Bryn Mawr girl’sheartis with a glass.”
Shut Up and Deal

“Do you like gin??? we asked a likely looking girl.

‘*T’d love to play a few hands.’’ she replied.

‘¢Blue-what! music?’ the girl shrilled, ‘‘No, I’m sorry
I never go out with Haverford boys,’’ said the blonde
Denbigh sophomore who looked as if she might have come
from a small New Hampshire town. We asked why.

‘¢You go out with a Haverford boy andthe next morning.
the whole campus knows every initmate detail.”” We beat
a hasty retreat with cries of ‘‘Kiss and tell’’ ringing in
our ears, Outside a statuesque girl inadenim work shirt
slinked by. .

‘*What is it about Bryn Mawr-Haverford social con-
tact??? we asked in desperation.

**It?s all wet,” the Merion junior said moodily.

The major hurdle facing the prospective social gad-
about is the competition for bids from the two eating
clubs -- Tenth and Comet.

A senior reminiscent of an Italian screen star super-
vises the rushing for Tenth. Once in it is important to
be handy with the darts and a slight brogue is useful.
The competition for Bryn Mawr girls is fierce with a
group of fortyish ex-Mainline playboys dorfinating the
field. If you go Comet it is imperative to develop a
smooth ‘‘There’s nothing like a hamburger, afterall.’’
Status comes when Paul and Charlie‘ask if you are having
‘“
It ‘was Saturday night and we stood nervously in the
computer room,

‘*you’re my last hope, gentlemen.” The young man
looked up from the pile of IBM cards marked ‘‘Cohabit.’’

‘*you have come to the right place. On the basis of
our exhaustive computer research there is an ideal Bryn
Mawr-for every Haverford boy.’? We expressed disbelief.

‘‘No, it?s true. Look we have one boy who wants a
number seven groomed girl - the sloppiest_possible. And -
sure enough there is such a girl for him.”

We filled out the form and the information was fed into
the computer, The machine buzzed, hummed and then
with a burst of static went silent,

‘¢That’s very odd,’ the computer man said.

The couple paused a moment in front of the library.
The young man was blonde. We had seen the girl’s face
somewhere before.

‘¢What do you think of Bryn Mawr social relations???
we asked,

‘*Well,”? he said, ‘‘at the end of my sophomore year
I. was convinced that all Bryn Mawr girls were or should
be under the care of a phychiatrist.’’

‘¢What happened??? we asked.

‘¢Well, I discovered this book, ‘‘Daphnis and Cloe’?
about two people that didn’t know what to do about being
in love, And I started giving it to girls, seven altogether.’’

‘*Why seven??? :

‘«We got-married,’’ =

‘Look, could we borrow this...’

_**Don’t bother’’ the girl said, ‘‘I never read it,’’

Friday, May 6, 1966

by Jim Ritter
Haverford defeated Swarthmore
6-4 last Monday in a game which
had been rained out the previous
Saturday.
The stickmen jumped on starting

pitcher Ebenezer Small for five
runs and four hits in the first
inning. Lead-off man Rick Smith
singled to right and was safe at
second when Small threw Sturge
Poorman’s grounder wildly to
second.’ Skip Jarocki grounded to
second and forced Poorman,
Jarocki stole second, and fourth
batter Don Urie walked. Dave Fel-
sen beat out an infield grounder
for a hit, and Smith scored, The
next batter, Dan Murphy lined a
single to left. Jarocki came home,
and Urie, who appeared to be a
sure out at the plate, knocked the

_ball out of the catcher’s hands,

Jeff Stevenson singled to center
and Felsen scored, Third base
coach Fred Szydlik, who was
giving the green light all day,
waved Murphy in. In a play at the

‘plate almost identical to Urie’s,

Murphy knocked the ball from the
catcher.

Haverford held their five run
lead until the fifth inning. After

Chuck Herbert: led to left
field, Herbert reached second on
a passed ball, and Urie walked
Dave Swanson to put men on first
and second. Clive Summerton
reached first on a fielder’s choice,
loading the bases, and Ron Truitt
rapped a single to right, scoring
Herbert and Swanson. Kamen
singled to left, and Summerton and
Truitt crossed the plate.

The Fords picked up one more
run in the seventh when Rick Smith
beat out a. grounder down the
third base line which pitcher Small
threw into right field. Smith reach-
ed third on the error and scored
on Jarocki’s sacrifice fly to right.

The high point of excitement
came in the eighth inning. Murphy,
who had singled to center, stole

second base. The catcher’s throw
down to second went into center-
field. Centerfielder Herbert
bobbled the throw and Murphy, who
fad been on his way, rounded third
and headed for home. Third base
coach Szydlik decided that Murphy
did not have a chance at the plate,
and when he saw that he wasn’t
slowing down, he, as Murphy put
it: ** ... knocked me down, then
picked me up and pushed me back
toward third base.’? The umpire
promptly called Murphy out for
interference. Sydlik seemed to dis-
approve of the call, and there was
a generally felt concern for the
umpire’s safety.

The Ford’s decisive victory over
the Redbellies in this Hood Trophy
contest raised their record to 5-3.

The Haverford golf team con-

Week’s Athlete
Tom Trapnell

Junior track captain Tom Trap-
nell has been chosen as this week’s
Haverford Athlete-of-the-Week,
He took two first places in last
week’s narrow loss to the Franklin
and Marshall Diplomats. Despite
slow times on the wet F & Mtrack,
Trapnell had little trouble in
capturing the 120 yard high hurdles
and the 220 yard low hurdles,

Even though he is nursing a
case of shin splints, Trapnell has
been one of the more consistent
performers on this year’s team,
He has scored 38 points in five
meets this season, taking six firsts,
two seconds and two thirds, and is
the leading scorer on the team.

-Trapnell doubles as end on the
varsity football team in the fall
and forward on the second-place
Junior B intramural basketball
team in the winter.

Engel and Bob Herron played very
well, shooting 76 and 79 re-
spectively, recording 3-0 and 2-1
wins, Engel’s round was the best
of the season for the Fords, and
might have been even better had
he not bogeyed the last two holes.
Dick McConaghy also won, 2-1/2-
1/2, scoring an 83, But Eric Brown,
Pete Loesche and Clyde Lutton
were only able to manage one half
point among the three, enabling
Muhlenburg to take the match
despite decisive losses in the No, 1
and 2 positions.

-Against Lehigh and F&M on May
2, the squad had evenless success,
Bob Herron played an inconsistent
round, shooting a brilliant 35 on
the front nine at Merion, but fall-
ing to 44 on the back for a total
of 79, good for a 2-1 victory over
Lehigh and a 2-1 loss to F&M,
But Engel, in his worst perfor-
mance of the year, scored an 82,
and fell to Lehigh 3-0 and to
F&M 2-1/2-1/2, Except for Eric
Brown’s 2-1/2-1/2 decision
against his Diplomat opponent, no
other Ford golfer was able to win
a point, The final count showed
16-2 and 14-4 defeats at the hands
of Lehigh and F&M respectively.

Engel, questioned after fin-
ishing several drafts of his latest
economics paper, tried to explain
the causes of the disasterous sea-

putting woes; even on our home
course,’”’ shouted the Ford golfer
in an understatement,

St. Joe’s scored first in the

second inning when Ford starter .
Amos Chang walked lead-off batter

Hinkel’s single to right, and scored
on a wild pitch,

Haverford came back in the
fourth, Don Urie struck out, but
Jim Ritter walked and went to
second on Jeff Stevenson’s single
to right field. Glenn Swanson made
it to first on a fielder’s choice,
and the bases were full with only
one out,

The St. Joe’s chucker, CarlGaf-

frey, proceeded to walk catcher
Keith Tunnell, thus scoring Ritter.
Chang flew out to the center fielder
for the second out, but Skip
Jarocki smashed ‘a double to right,
scoring Rick Smith, who had gone
in to run for Stevenson, and Swan-

Haverford held their 3-1 lead
comfortably until the seventh in-
ning. A throwing error by Glenn

of Harrington, the eighth man in the
batting order, Martini knocked one
over the Little League left field
fence and St. Joe’s led 4-3,

Don Urie evened things up in the
top of the eighth. The. lead-
off hitter that inning, he blasted
the ball out of the park. But St.
Joe’s also scored in their half
of the eighth, After Sabion ground-
ed out to Murphy, Butz doubled
to left field; In an effort to get
Hinkel on a close play at first,
Murphy threw the ball away. Gaf-
frey grounded out, but then De
Angelis rapped a double into
centerfield knocking in Hinkel and
making the score 6-4.

In a desperate effort to pull it
out, Haverford managed to get its
first two batters of the ninth inning
on base. Keith Tunnell got an
infield single, and Sturge Poor-
man, pinch-hitting for Chang,
doubled to right. With runners on

. second and third, Jarocki struck

out, Felsen grounded out to short-
stop scoring Tunnell, and Murphy
fanned, ending Ford hopes.

Having been soundly thrashed by
a strong Swarthmore squad in a
postponed match last Monday, the
Haverford tennis team enters the
Middle Atlantic Conference tourna-
ment at Lehigh today. Bob Swift
is the Ford singles entry while
Dave Koteen and Doug Meikeljohn
will play doubles. Swarthmore is
defending champion.

In Monday’s match the Red-
bellies won all but two sets to
crush the home netmen 9-0 in a
rather ignominious defeat. The
match was originally scheduled
for Saturday but was put off after

F & M Defeats Fords

As Trackmen Improve

by Jack Rakove

The Haverford track team took
a short trip up Lancaster Pike to
meet Franklin and Marshall
April 27 and made their best show-
ing of the year to datg losing 72-
58. The Fords, however, were
not at all disappointed by the final
score,

The trackmen made their best
showing in the 120 yard high hurdles
and 220 yard low hurdles, Tom
Trapnell and Bob Singley finished
first and second, respectively, in
both events, while Phil van New-
kirk added a third in the highs.

Pete Batzell and Terry Little
finished one-two in the 440 yard
run to provide Haverford with eight
more points, Batzell’s winning time
was 52,9. Renner Anderson added
six more points with two second
places in the 100 and 220 yard
dashes,

Denny Lanson notchedhis second
victory of the year in the half-
mile, winning in a slow time of
2:07.7 on the rain dampened F & M
track, Running at his usual steady
pace, freshman Steve Rolfe took

second in the mile in #43,

Terry Little took first place
in the two-mile to stay undefeat-

ed for the season, Bob White was
third behind Little’s winning time
of 10:12,

Freshman John Sargent scored
Haverford’s first points of the
year in the pole vault, cracking
the 8-foot barrier to take second
with a vault of 8’6’’.

Marsh Robinson pounced over the
high jump bar at 5’8’’ to tie his
F & M opponent, but took second
on the basis of more misses,

Vance Senecal lost for the first
time this year in the javelin, but
did take a third.

In the last event of the day,
the mile relay, the Fords sur-
vived a dropped baton by Lanson
to win their first of the season.
Batzell, Rolfe, gand Little rounded
out the team,

Two days later the same motley
crew journeyed to Franklin Field
to compete in the Pop Haddleton
Mile Relay, named after the former
Haverford coach, This time Lanson
held on to the baton, but his slow
time of :58 hurt Ford chances,
The other members of the team
all ran. sub 53-second quarters
but Haverford’s time of 3:37 was

«only good for a sixth, The Cadet
' quartet from PMC won event
jin a fair time of 3:28.3.

{ 4,3

Jim Predmore, moving up from
number two last year, dominated
Bob. Swift with a hard backhand
and good net play to take the Ford
first man‘6-1, 6-1, At number two
the Garnet’s Roy Van Til had
little trouble with Doug Meiklejohn,
the Ford co-captain falling 6-3,
6-3, Dave Koteen at number three
used his usual strategy of the
deep lob but was unsuccessful,
dropping both sets 6-4, 6-0 in a
short match,

Steve Greif, the team patsy-
baller and winningest member, lost
the first set 6-1 but used the
great patsy-ball.equalizer to make
the second set a closer 7-5, Dave
Delthony and Tom Bretl, the fifth
and sixth men, lost to Dave Laitin
and Bob Kneisley, Delthony dropped
his match in a quick 6-1,
6-2, and Bretl followed suit with
a 6-0, 6-1 loss,

The first doubles team of
Koteen-Meiklejohn won one of
Haverford’s two sets for the day
in a match that went 6-1, 4-6,
6-1. Bob Swift and Al Aladjem,
previously undefeated at second
doubles, lost the closest match
of the day 6-4, 6-4, Aladjem com-
bined good net play and smash-
ing serves to relieve the tiring
Swift,

In the last match Haverford took
its only other set as Greif-Del-
thony lost 6-2, 2-6, 6-1, :

Swarthmore is always a power-
ful team, but this year’s defeat
was unusually devastating. Under
their nationally known coach, Ed
Faulkner, the Garnet fielded a
team which simply outclassed
Haverford on a day when none of
the Fords played well,

At approximately 4:30 a.m, they
were awakened by the
three other Haverford students
being escorted to cells. :

charge to get the maypole. It failed,
Most people went around Taylor

without his light on, When I
tarted to run I hit a depression
in the ground and tripped, If I
hadn’t tripped I don’t think he
jwould have gotten me, Anyway,
put me in the squad car,

‘*] think Wilke was standing near
the pole telling the others where
the cops were when he was nailed
from behind,

‘‘As for Henry Harris,’ said
Burns, ‘‘he was told by two dif-
ferent cops to get off campus, and
he was walking off when another
cop walking in the opposite
direction nabbed him ... There
were about ten to twelve cars park-
‘ed in the turnaround in. front of the
library.’’ é

Bill Wilke, the eldest of those
arrested, told of his apprehension:
‘*There was a policeman coming
towards me, He turned off his
light and pretended to run, stamp-
ingahis feet, But he didn’t run,
Then he turned toward the main
group. I shouted something like,
‘Here comes one without a light!’

‘*] was looking around when
somebody tackled me around the
chest from behind, He had me down
and the handcuffs on me before
I could do anything.

**The cop got one more,’’ added
Wilke, ‘‘and another brought a
third, We were. all put into a squad
car. About 3:35, we were trans-
ferred to another car and driven
to the station.’’

took our fingerprints and our photo-
graphs and completed our cards,
We went back to the cells after

*‘All this was a little before
nine,’”’ Sleeper said, ‘‘We can’t be
sure, though, They took our watches
when they tesk our shoelaces and
our belts.

to see the magistrate. He was
‘completely deaf, I think.’’

The magistrate called their
names and read the charges, Burns,
Harris and Wilke were charged
with being loud and disorderly.
Hipp and Sleeper were charged
with being loud and disorderly and
having fireworks in their pos-
session,

‘We asked him to define ‘loud
and disorderly’,’’ said Hipp, ‘‘and
he ‘told us' that if we were talking
so that others could hear us that
was being loud and disorderly,

**The judge asked us what the
tradition was that had begun all
this, and we all started to answer
at once, He said that he would
listen to Wilke. When Wilke had
finished the judge thanked him,
turned to the rest of us, and said
that he supposed we all knew but
just didn’t want to tell him,’’

**The magistrate was very old
and hard of hearing,’’ according
to Burns, ‘‘He had us all lined-
up but couldn’t get our. names
straight. For his explanation of

_ the tradition Wilke got his court

fee of nine dollars revoked, The
magistrate’ was basically sym-
pathetic but unmoving.”’ :

Harris objected to the conduct
charge more than anyone else,
and asked about the possibility
of a trial, He was informed that
a trial might not be possible until
Saturday afternoon, and that he
would have to produce bail or re-
main in jail during the interim,

All five pleaded guilty: as
charged, Burns, Harris and Wilke
were fined $50 for the conduct
ge and $9 for court fee, Wilke’s
court fee being dismissed, Hipp and
Sleeper were given the same fines
with; an additional $10 fine for
possessing fireworks, The al-
ternatives to paying the fines were
five daysin jail’ for the former
three and ten days for Hipp and
Sleeper,

Burns and Harris left the station
to collect money for payment, When
they returned and paid the five
fines, the students were released,

According to Wilke, ‘‘The judge
kept saying what nice guys we
were and what a shame it was
that we had to get mixed up in this,’’

Sleeper subsequently spoke to a
lawyer, who informed him that the
actions of the police were es-
sentially unconstitutional, that the
police had made use of a local
system to trick people into con-
fessing, and that the students might

worth it, given the comparatively
small fines,

‘It really wasn’t that much,’’
said Burns, ‘It was an unusual

To Highlight Alumni Day

Black boxes, DeGaulle’s France
and the contemporary argument
over the death of God will draw
the attention of alumni returning
to Haverford College Saturday for
annual Alumni Day festivities.

Several hundred graduates of
Haverford are expected back for
a day-long program which will in-
clude special alumni classes, an
awards luncheon, varsity sports
events and a reception, Visits to
regular class sessions and tours
of various buildings are also plan-

On Monday night Evans,
Saxton, Greif, and Balch defeated
their opponents from St, Joseph’s;
while Steve Monroe and John Gregg
picked up draws. The overall score
was 5-3, but since only five players
can compete in a chess match, the
official score was 3-1/2 - 1-1/2
in favor of the Fords.

The team has a total of 38
wins this season against 24 losses,
Evans reports that hopes are even
higher for next year’s squad since
only Saxton will be lost through
graduation, If some goodfreshmen
can be recruited, the Fords’
chances look even brighter.
