BMC’s Lattimore
Translates Homer
For Fall Release

THE ODYSSEY OF HOMER
may now be added to the list of
Greek works translated by. one
of Bryn Mawr’s most noted pro-
fessors, Richmond Lattimore.

Although the official publica-
tion date released by Harper and
Row is October 11, the new trans-
‘is now available in
the Bryn Mawr College Bookstore.

A scholar who has success-
fully combined teaching and
translating into one career,
Lattimore has also - translated
Hesiod, the Greek
Lyrics, Aeschylus’ ORESTIA,
much of Euripides, and the

ILLIAD.

As Lattimore remarked while

. casually discussing the publica-

tion of his most recent work,
in translating Homer one of his
prime objectives has been to
preserve the ‘‘formulaic ex-
pressions,” the repeated phra-
ges, that abound in the original.
At the same time he has sought
to preserve the metre that rep-
resents to him ‘‘the rhythm of
the Greeks.”

To Lattimore translating is

something which he considers
‘fun to do.’”

Other projects
of his for the. future include

“translations of Euripides’ -IPHI-

Self Gov On Brugs

The statement and explanation below will be presented to Legislature as tentative. pro-
posals- by Self-Gov. Hall presidents will soon be holding hall meetings to discuss the
statements. Because the Self-Gov Board is not unanimously behind the proposals, the
‘NEWS will publish several individual opinions from Board members next week.

, Proposed Self-Gov Statement

No medically unsupervised use, possession, or distribution of drugs such as
hallucinogens, barbituates, opiates, narcotics, or amphetamines is allowed on

Self-Gov Explanation of the Proposed Statement
We believe that the rule Self-Gov has made is necessary because we wish to keep
the jurisdiction over drug use on the campus within the hands of the Bryn Mawr
students. In this way we are free to deal with each case on its own merits. We
are not convinced of the justness of existing federal and state drug laws. Nor
will we moralize on the issue of drug use. We recognize that the potential dan-
gers of drugs are constantly in question. As Executive and Advisory Boards we
intend to keep ourselves and the campus informed on the current dialogue about
medical and psychological effects of drugs and to use this information in our

College Bowl Puts BMC On the Spot
For Sharp Memory, Concrete Facts

‘If everybody gave $50,
we wouldn’t have to go through
this,”” Mr. Patten told 120 blue-
jeaned Bryn Mawrters gathered

- to take the College Bow! elimina-

tion test. As coach of the team,
he had complied the sample ques-
tions from three College Bowl
programs he had analyzed.
Emphasis was placed on famous
names, especially those in music
and literature. Three to four se-
conds were allowed for each
question, because ‘the program
stresses ‘‘quick recall of speci-
fic facts.”? Several of the questions
spotlighted incidental similarities
between disparate people. For ex-
ample: ‘‘The inventor of the
diphtheria serum has the same
first name as a Hungarian com-
poser who has the same last name
as a well-known movie actress.
Name all three’? Many questions
emphasized a knowledge of geo-

planned he would have crossed



with the same letter. Name
them.’’ Some of the samples served
to relieve the tension, such as
those asking for the number of
players on a field hockey team,
and the art associated with Mt.
Rushmore. There were two trick

questions: ‘‘St Thomas Aquinas
was called the ‘‘Divine Doctor”;
what philosopher was called the
¢¢Dumb, Ox?’ and ‘‘Sitting Bull
was a Sioux chief; of what tribe
was Crazy Horse?’

Wolfgang Stechow
To Give Lectures
In History Of Art

Professor Wolfgang Stechow,
prominent art historian and
musicologist from Oberlin Col-
lege, will give the first of his
‘six Mary Flexner Lectures in the
humanities Monday night, October
2, at 8:30 p.m., in Goodhart, His
topic will be ‘‘The Creative Copy,””
which he will treat with illust-
rated lectures in the fields of
visual arts, music, and literature,

In the visual arts, Prof, Stechow
will deal with copies by famous
artists of less famous pieces,
recreation of early masterpieces,
and reinterpretation of classical
works, In music, he will treat both
transcription and use by a com-
poser of a previously composed
theme. In literature he will deal
chiefly with translation,

These three fields will be
brought together and interrelated
Yin the last lectures, Speaking of
the problem of interrelating the
fine arts, Mr, James Snyder of
the History of Art Department,
described it as a fascinating and
complex subject, and said that
Prof. Stechow is ‘‘perhaps the
only person I know who is really
qualified to do it,’’

Of Prof. Stechow personally,
Snyder said, ‘‘He is probably the
most universally well-known and
well-liked person in the field of
art history. He has a tremendous
personal warmth which comes
across strongly to his audiences,
We are very lucky to .be able
to have him this year.°’

As always, the Flexner Lec-
tures are entirely new, and will
be collected in book form, to
add to Prof, Stechow’s list of
publications in both art history
and musicology.

‘*Off-campus’”’ housing is nota
rumor, There are ten seniors
now living in cooperative apart-
ments and the experiment seems
to be working very well. The
truth is, however, that these build-
ings are actually owned by the
college and the students are each
paying five hundred dollars rent
to Bryn Mawr, in lieu of room
and board, ©

The arrangement was planned
as a result of great agitation last
year on the part of some students
for a ‘‘cooperative movement’
allowing students to. live in houses
off-campus and prepare their own
meals,

There are ten seniors living
‘in apartments in the College Inn,
According to one of them the
situation is much better than liv-
ing in a dorm because ‘‘you can
live here and almost ignore the
rest of the campus,” She feels
that it is up to the individuals
as to how much she participates
in campus life, and by the time
she is a senior she knows whom
she wants to see anyway and which
organizations she wants to join.
The greatest advantage of ‘‘off-
campus”? housing seems to be
greater privacy, a ‘flexible
schedule (meals, noise, etc,), and
_ mass institutional living.”

living arrangements of this type

have been instituted at Bryn Mawr,
the college contributed to the pro-
ject by giving the girls in ‘‘Bets-
y-Coed’* a rug for their living
room and some furniture to help
them fill up a“somewhat larger
apartment, i:

When asked if girls living éoft-
campus” were under Self-Gov
rules, Kay replied that as yet
they were all unsure of the rules
but assumed that they were suppos=-
ed to live under the same system
as the rest of the campus (in-re-
spect to curfew, drinking, and
men in the rooms), ‘‘Last year,
Self-Gov told us that we were
still under their rules - and we
believed them, We don’t really
want to hold an orgy over here
anyway ~ it’s sort of boring you
know, ..’?

The interest in cooperative
housing was much greater last
spring when students. thought that

dt -was really. going to be OFF

campus, but when they found out
that it was really ON campus, many
gave up or decided that the pro-
ject was not worth the trouble,

To Smoke or Not To Smoke



“Soothing Weed”Allowed On Campus|

‘*Before the ruling went into

nearly half of the girls smoked

takable evidence of the fact, But

to smoke in their sitting rooms
and on the lower athletic field

I don’t believe I have seen more

than fifteen or twenty girls re-

gularly taking advantage of the

‘privilege, And all signs of

yeaa smoking have entirely
eared,’?

64 "1926, Self-Gov abolished a
rule forbidding students to smoke
cigarettes, and allowed smoking
in certain designated rooms and
areas on campus, In a page from
the ‘‘Sunday Telegram”? of January
17,1926, the whole issue of women
and smoking was the ‘‘soothing
weed’? explored, Miss Agnes Or-
bison of Elmira, New York sent
the page to the Alumnae Office
in the Deanery, possibly thinking
it applied to some of sa problems
ot 1967, .

The article wént on to quote

an ‘“‘official of the college’? who
sahil that because the ‘‘Standard
of work here at Bryn Mawr is
very high and requires long hours
of study’? there was not really
very much time to smoke,

Next the author, Polly Fer-
gusson, gave a short history of
Self-Gov: ‘‘the authorities at Bryn
Mawr are of the opinion that by
the time young women are old
enough and educated enough to

enter its aristocratic halls
of learning they are quite able
to govern themselves. For this
reason, as early as 1892 charter
was given to the Self-Government
Association of Bryn Mawr College
by which the conduct of the stu-
dents in regard to all social
matters was put into their own
hands,”

In 1926 it was apparently as
difficult as it is now to get 5w-
dents to fill out questionnaires,
However, on the smoking issue,
there was very heavy * voting--
only two out of a resident student
body of 369 did not vote,

The president of Bryn Mawr in
1926 was Marion Edwards Park,
Her statement released after the
Self-Gov vote was ‘‘widely quoted
in the press and created a furor
among women’s colleges through-
out the country,’’ Much of it is
worth quoting:

**The conduct: of the stu-
dents at Bryn Mawr has always
been in the hands of the Self-
Government. Association and
the regulations of the associa-

tion have been based on the

public opinion of the moment.
Such opinion in a college
democracy is controlled in
larger matters by conscience
and in lesser matters by con-

vention...

Criticism was especially strong
from Dr, Charles G, Pease, pre-
sident of the Nonsmoking Pro-
tective League, who said, ‘‘The
consent of the Bryn Mawr authori-

ties .to smoking in the college.

building means only one thing--
another step in the advance of
the human race toward race de-

men to smoke, But for young
women who are. prospective

ingly destressed that any college
for women should permit smoking
in the college buildings or on the
college campus, Bryn Mawr’s
action is one of the saddest blows
that has befallen the anti-nicotine
cause in many years,’’
~The article ends on a more
rational note, witha comment from
a graduate of Goucher College in
Baltimore, ‘‘The matter is entirely
one to be decided by the student
.it is much worse for the
moral tone of a college to have
smoking going on behind blanketed

H’ford, Bryn Mawr
Chamber Orchestra

To Hold Auditions

Cultural opportunities at Haver- ,

ford and BMC have been signifi-
cantly increased with the form-
ation of a new chamber music
program. The program will be ia
addition to all the new exciting
musical organization and it is de-
signed specifically for those people
who are not served by the present
situation.

At present, a large chamber
orchestra is the major group pro-
posed, but plans for the future also
include small chamber groups, 2
barbershop quartet, a jazz band,
and possibly a production of a
musical show.

Auditions for chamber orchestra
will be held October 1-4. All in-

Haverford’ s Freshman Admire,

g-

Having read with so much ‘eta
est the findings of Haverford’s
study of Bryn Mawr’s impressions
of the class of ’71, we decided
dt might be illuminating to try a
similar study of our own. Accord-
ingly, we went with open minds,
and the proper spirit of curiosity
to the Haverford campus and plied
what appeared to be a fair sreee= |
section of the student population|
with.quéstions designed to reveal
the opinions Haverford men hold
of Bryn Mawr freshmen.

Happily, we were more fortunate
than the reporters who interviewed
Bryn Mawr girls last week in that
no one we spoke to suffered from
the slightest difficulty in putting
his feelings into words. While,
we found no general consensus,
it can be said that Haverford
upperclassmen view B,M.C,’s
class of °71 with a mixture of
admiration for their hope, energy,.
and fortitude while pitying them
for their ignorance of the mis-
erable times that are said to lie
ahead af them.

Resurrection

Pity Bryn Mawr's Class of '71

This intelligence was deplored
by junior Richard Farini, who
complained that Bryn Mawr fresh-
men are overly preoccupied with
their own and their dates’ college
scores and are unhappy if they get
a negative response to ‘‘are you
going to be a doctor?’’ This at-
titude vanishes by the sophomore
year, and it is agreed that it is
merely a manifestation. of the.
freshman’s attempt to look assured ,
and collegiate. A Georgia sopho-
more who prefers not to be
identified ‘offered that freshman
girls are continually trying to be
charming and that they. act witty
with the most admirable caution,

Mixers as a means of intro-
ducing the sexes do not seem to
be very popular with Harverford
freshmen, One said that looking
over so many girls was like buy-
ing horses and all felt that it
was hard to find a topic of mutual
interest to begin a conversation
upon better than the usual ‘hello,
what are you studying?’ Then, too,
the girls seemed to be unwilling

The old “REVIEW,’’ a staid,

solely for. its infrequent ap-

were, reaching from the writer

Mensa Takes Top Two Percent,.
Looking To BMC For Members _

The trouble with most special a
interest groups is that, in order
to participate, you must share
the special interest or fight for
the particular cause, Mensa is a
unique society, with no restriction
on interest, background, opinion
or conviction,

Mensa, which means ‘‘table’
in Latin, is a round table group
where no one is at the head or
foot. Mensa is an organization
whose sole requirement for mem-
bership is an 1Q, higher
than 98% of the general population

Mensa ‘was conceived in
1945 by its present President,
Professor Sir Cyril Burt of Lon-
don, England, Since then, mem-
bership has grown to over
20,000, Two-thirds of this figure
are Americans; other groups func-
tion in Great Bri
France, West Germany, Switzer-
land, India, South Africa, Au-
Stralia, and other nations,
One purpose of Mensa is psy-
chological and sociological re-
search, but its wider function
is to furnish opportunity for con-
tact between intelligent people
with varied interest and back-
grounds,

Since Mensa is unified by
its diversity, its policy is as
follows:

1) No opinion is expressed as
being that of Mensa; individual
members or groups within Mensa
have many opinions but Mensa
itself, as a whole, has no opinion,

2) Nothing is done in the name
of Mensa that may alienate or
exclude people of any shade of
opinion,

3) No political action is taken
by Mensa beyond the publication
of its findings,

4) Mensa has no political or
religious affiliations, nor does
it recognize discriminations _ of

‘Face, creed, class, age, or ed--
ucational level,

that freshmen girls are no dif-

that the coat-and-tie complex was

While it thus seems that
Haverford men have their com-

agreed that Bryn Mawr freshmen
are compatible and friendly. The

LASPAU referred Adelaida to

four foreign students chosen for
admittance and financial aid. The
choice was made on the basis-of
individual merit, not geographical
distribution, from a field of 58
candidates from 28 countries, ex-
cluding Canada.

A committee of the Undergrad
Association then examined the files
of the four and picked Adelaida as
the 1967-68 Undergrad Scholar.
A scholarship fund begun in 1938
and renewed by Undergrad dues will
pay her tuition for one year at Bryn
Mawr.

Having already fulfilled most of
the requirements for her major
subject, math, Adelaida is entering
as a sophomore. Depending on the
adjustment of her schedule, she
may. carry two or three math
courses,

¢«But here there are.not somany
requirements for the major,’”? she
notes. ‘‘At the University (af Costa
Rica), we have four groups of

subjects, too, but you’re supposed f°

to take more classes. It takes five
years to get an M,S.”’

After completing her studies in

‘the U,S,, Adelaida will return to

BMC, where she became one of,

the University to teach and, hope-
fully, do some research work,

On the non-academic side, Ade- .

laida has already gathered some

comments, ‘‘Everybody says ‘hi.’

from a large metropolitan high
school, I wanted the opposite in
college, and chose Bryn Mawr as
a small, excellent school,” (Sue,
incidentally, will be the ‘‘third on

To Leigh Ann Ehlers, Bryn Mawr
is a chance to attend a college of
‘‘small enrollment, but on par with
much larger schools,’? A native
of South Jersey, she also likes the
idea of being close to home and
near Philadelphia,

college’s facilities before applying
here and found the science depart-

large university, she _ said,

the atmosphere or facilities to
satisfy these bright girls’ needs,

Ashley, who is from Morgan-
town, West Virginia, appreciates
Bryn Mawr’s location in a metro-

required courses made her feel
‘she may take whatever courses she
wants, without being obligated to
take several courses which she
would not be interested in at all,

Under the group requirement
system which was instituted with
the junior class, one of several
courses satisfies group require-

ments, in addition to required

language, literature and science
courses,

Another trashinen, Josephine
Madej, says she’s interested in
journalism but came to Bryn Mawr
to get a liberal education before
specializing.

She feels individualism among
students is a great asset to the

‘school._and* finds-no special -type

or clique dominates the student
body.

Josephine, who is anon-resident
student, says although she went to
an all-girls high school, it didn’t
matter to her that Bryn Mawr is
a women’s college.

She judges taking four courses
in depth more worthwhile than
five or six courses a year, where

are not thorough,

Donna Vogel, who is from Tona-

wanda, N, Y., near Buffalo, says

she didn’t come here to go to
football games,

Donna says she finds one course
particularly difficult, but loves the
feeling of challenge and intellectual
stimulation she is gaining from it,
She admits the work is hard but
doesn’t find it overbearing, ‘It
forces you to reorganize your
study habits,’? she added,

Amherst Quits NSA...

(Continued from page 1)

There is no effective check on
the officers and staff. For fifteen
weeks of the year NSA is repre-
sented . by, the three officers
and the staff,’’

Springer discussed the counter
convention: organized by Students

for a Democratic Society to abolish

NSA, The position of SDS
was that NSA had been corrupt
through its CIA affiliations, and
that there wasno insurance against
further corruption ‘NSA didn’t
represent students, just student
governments,

‘The Congress wasn’t solely
an exercise in deception and ir-
responsibility,” Springer claimed.
He described a project called “‘ Al-
ternative Candidate Taskforce
(ACT .°68)) designed to’ work at
primaries and conventions for
peace candidates in both parties,
and to force a real choice in
the presidential elections.

“The NSA Congress, for
all its faults, created a desire

for principles, to make the good

life mean more than the
hollow shell of material comfort,’
Springer added.

But he spoke of two French
students who said critically to the
convention, ‘‘What makes you so
sure that the U,S. is any different
from any other world power; that:
is, racism at home, imperialism
abroad. Words mean little in po-
litics, it is actions that
count. Your country has never
been bombed. If someone bombed
ten miles from your border, you’d
blow up the whole world. How
much has power corrupted your
country’s ideals and_ made’ it
paranoic about that power?’’

It is important to choose
right actions to direct
the horror students feel toward
their society. ‘‘The beat goes on;
the incessant beat of injustices,
and the beat of causes to champion.
One can’t be afraid of caring too
much, That’s not the lesson to be
learned, Still stick the neck out,
but view the consequences, gain
some perspective, Get beyond -
the. rhetoric and on emo-
tion,’? Springer urged.

‘‘That doesn’t mean being ¢ com-
promised, being seduced by
the system,’’ he said. ‘‘What itdoes
mean is not taking a bad alterna-
tive ... NSA is a badalternative.’’
