Coline theft is an ugly problem, so distasteful that it is too frequent-
ly ignored when more positive action should be taken, The recent theft
of. over $100 in Rhoads during a mixer points out some of the in-
~ adequacies of the Bryn Mawr system, or perhaps lack of it, for prevent-
.
_ ing disappearance of personal property..,
‘ ie is trae that students may lock closets, containing waa valuables
as jewelry and clothing; nevertheless, a vacant room contains other
ae valuable items, items which might be taken by any one of the
“many visitors to the halls. This is not a hypothetical situation, it has
happened during several college vacations, when radios, record players
and similar items have ‘‘disappeared.’”’ But-what can be done ‘about it?
-It might be wise to have a place in each hall, perhaps in the warden’s
room where small, valuable but frequently used Lcsdtins such as jewelry
could be stored for safekeeping.
It might be realistic to equip dormitory rooms with locks which
could be locked from the outside “ the student was away from school,
‘particularly on vacations,
It “might save money and later inconvenience for students to be
encouraged to secure personal property insurance. In this way there
might be some compensation for property loss.
And wouldn’t it‘be more reasonable to report thefts, instead of simply
suffering the loss in silence- Students complain that nothing is done
about missing property. Nothing can be done about it unless it is
reported.
A valid point, to raise in: objection to tinsrensed precautions against
theft is ‘‘doesn’t our honor. system apply to this? A college with such
a -system does not need room locks, etc.” There are a number of
answers to this. In the first place, Bryn Mawr students and staff are
not the only people who are in the dormitories, We are on an honor
“ system, but those visiting the hall may not be. In the second place,
~
thefts do occur, unpleasant though the fact may be.
’ What can we bad about it?
A New Seuss: ‘
rarer’
The lobby against state ‘sales taxes on school textbooks is one of the
best ‘‘causes’’ the National Students Association and the Bryn Mawr
Undergraduate Association could have chosen to espouse.
The request to remove the tax on text books is an entirely reasonable
one. ‘It is so reasonable, ~in fact, that it has been tried before -- with —
dubious success. In. the fall of 1962, The State of Pennsylvania removed
taxes from text books. This brief period of state enlightenment lasted
for approximately three weeks; i.e.,; if one/didn’t buy her textbooks
during the ‘‘rush,’” she found unhappily that the sales tax had been
reapplied. The terms of this tax removal included the specification -
that only text books (such things as. language grammars, science texts,
f
t
_. etc.) were tax exempt, Books considered as ‘‘reading books,’’ your copy
“) of Ulysses, or
Complete Shakespeare, for example, were still.
taxable. At least this short-lived law was some improvement, But of
course it was repealed.
. This repeal seems unwise, as well.as irritating, for a number of
. réadons, In the first place, increasing numbers of students come to -:
Pennsylvania colleges on scholarship, The State supports, at least.
partially, many of these institutions, Increasing book costs, coupled
with the 5% sales tax, méan increases in many scholarships, Where
does the money come from? From the State, ‘among other places. Very:
reasonable.
In the second place; books are not a luxury. For the college student:
they~are a necessity. (Other ‘‘essentials’? such as food and clothing
are tax exempt in Pennsylvania.). Why not textbooks? |
We hope that NSA and Undergrad will be effective’ in their protest
against this tax. It is an issue well worth their efforts.
‘A Matter of Honor oe
Everyone’ knows that nothing at Bryn Mawr is easier than breaking: -
the rules with impunity. No one checks the accuracy of sign-outs; the
content is irrelevant-as long as the form is correct no one checks to
see that all men are out of the rooms by ten; no one spies on illegal
"smokers; no one, from motives of honoy ; cowardice, or laziness reports ©
that anyone else has broken the rules, thus destroying the one check the
system has. The honor system is based solely onthe individual’s re-
interest. of oe _ College at the ne Printing Com-. .

**T do not believe that the honor
system will work.’’
- This is.one -of ‘the. reactions -
voiced when Mount Holyoke stu-
dents were polled in the November
‘6, 1964 issue .of The Mount Hol-
“yoke News for their evaluation
of the Haverford exam system,
under which each student arranges
the spacing of his own tests. Opin-
fons were almost entirely. favor-
able, but several doubts were ex-
pressed, Among them:
“Tl -really do not think that it
would -make-all that~ much differ-
ence, Most kids keep’ up during
the semester and do not have to
do. all that much studying for
exams anyway.”
“ey think even with the honor
- system it would be hard to refrain
from not helping someone even if
I did not tell her the exact ques-
tion,”’
“I think it is a great idea ..;
My only thought is that they should
not spread the exam period out
over. 10 days, but should keep it
within six, especially since -we.
only have four courses, You need
a little pressure-or else you don’t
feel as if you ‘were taking an
exam,”?
: **1 am in favor of the plan be-
cause many girls who could other-
wife have writténexams consistent
with or better than their previous
grades, because: of a ridiculously
tight exam schedule were exposed
to such emotional tension and given
to such inadequate study time that
they fell below their capabilities;

In an honor system the community’ makes the ets but does not

allowed the students. here i¢ not quite tantamount to the Rabelaisian
“Faisce que voudras,’? as many students wouldbelieve. Too.many girls
who forget to sign out or smoke intheir rooms or abuse the new men in
the rooms rule excuse themselves with ‘I’m not hurting anyone, so it’s
all right, ”’ or, silently, ‘1 set my own rules. I don’t need anyone else’s
rules,’’ One sophomore said, “1 know I agreed to accept the honor system

Delegates also took part in dis-
cussion groups concerned with
such fopics” as “the role of the
student in a political campaign,
~-the-effects- of-the-mass-media-on-
- the ‘‘grass roots,’”’ and the ques-
tion of whomthe Congressman ace
tually represents,
Mr. ‘Thomas, whose speech
Opened the conference, admitted
that. he was a failure at meeting
the ‘‘grass roots,’’ since he had
failed six times to be elected.
However, he emphasized the need
for political education at the grass
roots level, and pointed out that
in the field of education a great
deal has been accomplished on
a very personal level, |
Grass roots politics, according
to Mr. Thomas,. are of prime
- importance in three fields, First,
in the area of race relations, where
he Founding Fathers were
hypocritical, Mr. Thomas, calling
Mississippi ‘‘a state of mind’’ and
attributing much racism to. the
economically insecure poor
whites, expressed a belief in man’s
‘original sin-g passion for destruc-.
tion as wellas creation, He praised
the Civil Rights Bill and added
that it represents the limit we can
reach in enacting laws to solve
this complex problem.
The second area of grass roots
importance is a related.one, that
of poverty. Mr. Thomas called
‘Johnson’s anti-poverty bill ‘‘very
inadequate}’ but a beginning. —
He pointed’ out’the problem of
an economy which can prosper
with much unemployment, but said
**it is a complete lie to affirm that
the poor create poverty,’ and called
for an attack on slums-perhaps
with funds cut from. the defense
budget. Mr. Thomas described so-
ciety as being at a point where
‘unemployment must exist and the
concept of pay. for jobs must
change, with new emphasis on
service work such as the Peace
WO os, Sener omees ‘iweai'd Speeches by “Corpo,”
~The third area Mr. “Thomas
listed was a ‘‘war on war as an
institution,”. He feels that man
does. NOT altogether hate war, and
that we have not been able to find
any clear-cut alternative to it. He
pointed out the dangers inherent
in a test ban treaty not signed by
France and China, in a Western |
“multilateral. fleet which will be
copied by the East, ‘in interven-
tion ih a ‘‘civil war” in Viet Nam
which does little for our prestige,
and in the idea of the U.S, as a
**policeman’’ against Communism,
Mr. Thomas. called. for a world
in which rationality and common
sense, perhaps aided by a working
religion,(one which will not contin-
ually. contest its. ‘‘rightness’’
against every other ‘religion),
where men will turn their atten-
tion toward the preservation ef
peace and the conquest of a pover-
ty° which controls at least one-
fifth of our people.’’
The other conference speakers )
“discussed the more specific as-.
pects of Congressional responsi-
bility to the ‘‘grass roots,’’. with
the exception, of course, of Mr.
Buchwald, who for some reason
talked about his life in Paris, or
anyway, his version of it,
The discussion groups came to
a number .of conclusions about
student importance in political. .
campaigns; many delegates had
done work for the candidates and
decided that their most important.
function was in getting people
interested and to the polls, al-
though Cathy said that “‘these dis-
_ cussions dissolved into the telling
of involved stories concerning peo- |
ple who slammed doors and hung
up telephones on hapless student =
politicians.’
In fact; one of the discussion
groups seemed to feel that at-
tendance at such events as national
conventions was more: important
than field work for the candidate,
More general problems ‘brought
up by the discussion groups were
.the large influence that mass media ©
and special pressure groups have
on. politics.

Quality of U. 'S. College Food

David Friedman,Harvard
(CPS)\There is disagreement
within the academic ~ community
‘about: the quality of food provided

hardly more so than the rosy
picture painted in the college cata-
tagues,

To repeat my proposal: I sug-
gest that American college stu-

their meals wherever they wish,
and that colleges should sell board
‘on whatever terms they find most
convenient,
. A number of objections might
‘be raised fo this proposal. First
it might be argued-that the kitchen
would never know how many peo-
ple it had to cook for, This ob=. .
jection, however, only applies if

if the tickets were sold several

that, in® order .to serve cheap

large scale, While there are un-
doubtedly economies of. scale in

lieve that they - are stfll ‘signif-

One other argument which might
be used is that the college, being

H’ford’s Football Practice
“Object of Mawrter’s Mirth
By Laurie S. Deutsch
The way Haverford plays football
is confusing until you discover that
you’re standing on the soccer field.
‘The Elysian fields are wide and
green, ideal for the little Haver-
fordian soccer gods who scamper
about in adorable red shorts, fash-
ionable knee socks, and pink or
white nightshirts. (Please note the
little pail of water and ladle stand-
‘ing in the corner for effect.)
They frisk about, occasionally
tapping the ball with the tips of
“their toes. Meanwhile, one lucky
- lad is huddled in a cage at the end
of the field like a sacrificial lamb.
He is obviously the target, a mov-.
ing target at that, who, believe it
or not, keeps TRYING to eet hit.
Amazing. :
The guys have worked out little
routines just like the Rockettes.
‘Okay, fellas,’’ says Coach Miles,
‘‘let’s do. two and one now.’”? This
consists of three guys kicking the
ball in at the moving target.

The guys line up in an array which
is obviously a cheap imitation of

play begins and the ball starts to
bounce from the head of one hard-
headed Haverfordian to another.
_After watching such a spectacle,
Bryn Mawr girls can be much more

peculiar habits of the hardy Haver-
fordian. One female bystander was
greeted by unanimous groans when
she exclaimed, ‘‘Gee, they must
