many adding machines will be
used to gather in all the vote counts
from over 9,200 polling places in
this state. From Philadelphia, the
‘yote counts willbe sent on to New
York City where: they will be re-
ported to the nation.
More than 300 Bryn Mawr stu-
dents will answer telephone calls

throughout. the state. Other Bryn
Mawr students will be messengers
and tally clerks at various desks
‘in the Hall.

BMC League Conference to Explore
Student’ Relationship to Community
The Bryn Mawr League is plan-
ning a conference to discuss ‘‘The
Student’s Role in the Community,’’
October 5 at 7:30, in the Common
League President Nancy Bradeen
described: the primary interest of
the conference not as social work
but as an opportunity for students
to learn about. the Bryn Mawr com-..
munity. "Possibly more contact be-
tween schcol and town will result.
A secondary purpose is the en-
couragement of more social work
activity here. Such work’ would
involve not only slum children
but also those of middle class
families.
“Material for the conference is
w divided into three sections, First
*will come a broad sketch of the
. Bryn Mawr community, including
demography (population), economy,
and community services. Youth
services will be emphasized. .:
The second segment will contain
a description of how the college

Sign up sheets were posted in
all dormitories. last week. The
response to this ‘‘call to duty’?
was overwhelming. Mr. Farmer
has offered work to all those 500
people who signed the lists in the.
halls. He has also stressed the. .
necessity for actual attendance at
both the rehearsal and the election
work,. Therefore, all those who
signed up will be able to work on
the project.
Plans are now made for a meet-
ing of all those who signed the ©
lists on’ Thursday, October 29th in
Goodhart. ‘Time will be ahnounced.
Transportation will be provided
for both the rehearsal and on No-
vember- 3. Arrangements will be
made for meals to be served
earlier on those’ days. All student
workers will be paid ten dollars. :
Alliance and Undergradare very
enthusiastic about the project and-
about student response to it. Bryn
Mawr students now have the op-
portunity to be actively involved
in the reporting and the excitement
of the 1964 elections.
Because. much of the work will
be more efficiently handled if stu-
dents are acquainted-with the names
of the candidates for public office
in this state, workers should begin
-now to keep abreast of the cam-
~»~paigns,-The. work requires no other
background -- except honesty.
The sign up lists were. taken
down on Friday, September 25. If
any students now want to partici-

Another Leap Into the Future
Bryn’ Mawr has taken another stride forward. with the slain of
legislation permitting men in the dorms. after-dinner,
The voting results in the individual halls indicate that the majority
of the students support the new rule. A few objections, however, have
been raised. The problem of prowlers, the resulting inconvenience to
girls ifi the evening, and the temptation to take advantage of the: new
restriction -- all may threaten its success.
(A more subtle criticism centers around the possibility that the more
lenient rules will result in a toppling of. Bryn Mawr’s standards, that
prospective students will be lured more by the thought of unlimited
_ privileges than other factors.)
“<“The new rule, however, should be regarded not“as a treat tothe
college’s standard of morality, but more properly asa practical amend-
* ment which, in spirit and in fact, is consistant with. the college’s. already
“existing rules.
Pem West, by passing a 10 p.m. limit on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
night, and a 7:30 limit every other night,seems to have devised the most
sensible. solution. This way, girls have a place to take dates on Sunday
night, a date night, as well as a place to have private and leisurely
coffee after week- ~day dinners. And girls who wish to wander around
the dorm in bathrobe and curlers will still be able to do so after 7330
during the week.
If two things are kept in mind -- first, that'the new rule has been
passed’ purely in the interests of practicality, and, second, that under
the honor system, all students assume individual responsibility for
their actions -- there should be no question of abuse of the new. rule.
Regulations in -other areas of the honor’ system -- smoking, class
attendance -- may have seemed revolutionary, even immoral,- at one
time; now they merely contribute to the flexible and efficient organiza- .
tion of ae college.
e
A Choice — Make It!
Initial political enthusiasm on the campus seems to be running high.
More than’ the requested-500 signed up for work in Convention Hall,
and] numerous political ineetings have been. scheduled’ and are getting
good response...
The question now {s == tiow®: many will translate this enthusiasm into
the mundane pavement- -beating and .doorbell-ringirg of campaign work?
Feeling is strong on both sides of the fence in this election, ded i
accompanying activity should be equally so.
- For those of us old enough to vote the prime: duty is to.obtain an
absentee ballot immediately, as Some already have, Use of the absen-
tee ballot -- an intelligent, informed use -- is of special ie ioe
in this election.
A.cammon excuse

facing. voters is oné npveen the lesser of. two evils. This, however,
begs the question. ©

The fact that the majority of people living outside the driving area
don’t seem. to be aware of our existence should come'as no surprise
to any Bryn Mawr student. That lack of fame implies a lack of academic
excellence, however, seems to us an inconsistency. In educational
circles -- which, after all, is where it counts -- Bryn Mawr College
isa respected’ and well- —_ name.
If, as Gill suggests, we are not well-known to potential applicants,
it is chiefly a matter of admissions policy. Spreading information
about Bryn Mawr -‘‘throughout the land’? can -only be.accomplished
efficiently. by the administration, as..we think it-should. It seems a_-
shame that many worthwhile’ girls are unaware of our presence for
want of effective distribution of information.

Concerning. our possible complacency, it appears that it is a valid
complaint only on the individual, level. Some of us do get complacent
some of the time and perhaps unconsciously assume Bryn Mawr is the
best around, no need to compare with other institutions. As an attitude
of the undergraduate body and even Bryn. Mawr College PER SE, how-
_ ever, the frequent fvle changes. and continued development of academic

Juniors’ Tuttifrutti
To ‘Satirize Big’
This year’s junior show is NOT
about ‘fa little girl growing up|
and learning about love and life,’ @
say Liz Roueche, Assistant Dir-
ector. of the-show. :
In fact, she adds, there are
- not-even any scenes with alittle
girl singing aaliloquies in the pri-
vacy. of: her bedroom, This, ‘in
itself, she says, makes junior
show a. radical departure from
past class shows.
Although the name of the show
is TUTTIFRUTTI, it has nothing to
do with ice-cream and is not
about -a frustrated-rock and roll
singer.
What, then, is it about? People
working on the show will reveal
nothing except -that it is a satire.
‘*And,’’. Liz hints darkly, ‘‘when

Lovise Adams Holland, Authority in Latin
Serves As Current Lucy Donnelly Fellow
By Anne Lovgren
Y ggamcetortt hear
' Louise Adams Holland (Mrs.
Leicester Bodine Holland) will be
the Lucy Donnelly Fellow for 1964-
1965.
As Donnelly Fellow, she will
live on the. campus. during Febru-
ary and--will-meet with students
interested in the classics and the
classical background of European
literature.
Mrs. Holland received her Ph.D.
_in Latin from Bryn Mawr in 1920.
Since; then, she has maintained a
close connection with the college,
both as a teacher and as an ‘oc-
casional lecturer,
Agnes K. Michels;Chairman of
the Latin’ Department, describes
her as ‘'a person of intense
vitality.”? She adds, ‘‘Mrs. Hol-
land has WALKED all over the
Roman Campagna. Nowadays, most
classicists drive over that region,
but she has explored it on foot
and knows it perhaps better than
anyone else.?’
Mrs. Michels further. describes
her (in Mrs. Holland’s own words)
as‘**totally fascinated by the pre-
historic? She actually lives in the
pre-Republican ‘period of Rome.”’
Mrs. Michels also cited another
“of~ Mrs?“ olland’s- talents: ‘*One
thing she does superbly is to read
Latin poetry aloud.”? © -
Mrs. Holland has taught at Vas-
sar, Smith, Miami University in
Ohio and Haverford.
She won a Guggenheim Fellow-
Ship —to. Italy in 1948, one: result
of which was the article written
in collaboration with her husband
and published in ARCHAEOLOGY,
which describes their trip down
the. Tiber on a rubber raft,
- “They proved,”
Dimock in the SMITH ALUMNAE
QUARTERLY, *‘that the import-
ance of early Rome cannot have
come, as is’ often claimed, from
riverborne trade.’?
One of Mrs., Holland’s most
outstanding works is ‘her book
JANUS AND THE BRIDGE, pub-
lished in 1961. The.book demon-
strates that this puzzling god arose
‘fas the notion of a magically
necessary sanctified passage over
living water.’?
, It was for. this book that, in
August, Mrs. Holland received the
annual Award .of Merit of the.
American Philological Associa-
tion. be
said: George »
Mrs. Holland’s_ visit should in-
deed be both interesting and stim-
ulating. Mrs. Michels heartily af--
firms this: ‘‘Mrs. ‘Holland has: a-*
completely original and indepen-
dent mind... students have always
found her a most es per-
son,??

BMC Welcomes Mrs. Katherine Whelihan n°" """""
As New Assistant To President McBride
Katharine Budd Whelihan, who
became Assistant to the President
on September 1Mis hardly new to
Bryn Mawr, since she has ‘‘gath-
ered background” for ten years as
Secretary to Miss McBride.
Mrs, Whelihan’s:association:
’ with the President goes back to the
Germantown Friends School where
_Miss McBride preceded her by four
years.. Mrs. Whelihan was better
acquainted with Mrs. Paul, Miss
McBride’s former Assistant, and
it was partially due to this friend-
ship that she first came to Bryn
Mawr.
Mrs. Whelihan, an alumna of
Mount Holyoke College, states that
since, unlike many administration ,
officials, she did not attend Bryn
Mawr, she is at a ‘‘slight disad-
vantage.’’ She feels however, that
her ten years as Miss McBride’s
secretary have given her consid-
erable familiarity with alumnae,
particularly .in the Philadelphia
area, as she has consistently at-
tended Board meetings. Her posi-
tion .often requires her to select
alumnae to represent Bryn Mawr
at college inaugurations and other
functions, She describes her work
as ‘‘very flexible - it is designed
to back up the President and is
geared to her wishes.’’ Two steady
duties, however, relate to. Miss
McBride’s: work on theState Board
of Education and with the National
Science Foundation, which require
three days of travel per month,
The greatest changes from Sec-
retary to Assistant, Mrs. Whelihan
feels, lie in her more personal re-
lations with faculty and alumnae,
and the greater opportunity to know
students, :
. Mrs, Whelthan, after ten yedrs
at Bryn Mawr, prefers not to speak
of ‘*change’’? at the college, but
rather of ‘‘development - theinner
growth within the new buildings.” .

Her worst experience at Bryn
Mawr in this time is undoubtedly
-shared by many others - the fire
in Taylor during the summer of
1961. Mrs. Whelihan recalls that
Miss McBride had to be called out
of a meeting in Philadelphia, and
that everyone pitched in to carry
books downstairs. Mrs. Whelihan
took particular charge of moving
the displaced offices into Pem-.
broke East.
Mrs, Whelihan considers herself
an ‘‘outlander,’’ as she lives ‘‘far
away,’’ in Chestnut Hill, There her
great. interest is her garden, and
‘she also enjoys reading English |

gp Bidding Fond Farewell
To Margaret Tyler Paul-
By Peggy Wilber
With the retirement of Margaret
Tyler Paul as Assistant to the
President, Bryn Mawr -has lost
the person for whom this position
was created, and. who, with her
many talents and interests , shaped
it-into an invaluable and indispens -
able part. of the college. — «
_..Mrs. Paul was graduated from.
Bryn Mawr in1922,andwas Presi-
dent of her class. Shesubsequently ,
served aS principal of the
Springside School in Chestnut Hill,
but resigned upon becoming Presi-
dent of the Alumnae Association
in the mid-Forties. At the end af.
her term as President, due to
what Miss McBride describes as,
‘‘Her great understanding of the
college and _of the alumnae and
their present needs,’’ she was of-
fered the permanent,
amorphous, job of doing, ‘‘part
of the work of the Presidency,
which she made into not one but
hundreds a parts *y
Miss McBride especially notes
.Mrs,. Paul’s great: versatility --
**her remarkable understanding of
_how tobe helpful to different groups
in. different areas, from students,
faculty and alumnae, to Mr. Ward
and
“*Maregie ,’”
‘tis among so many other things
our great’ horticulture expert.’’
Mrs, .Paul’s versatility as Assis-
tant to the President was. such
that, if one were to ask about a.
specific problem or quéstion, one
would often come away with
answers to several others as well.
Some of Mrs. Paul’s. specific
‘duties while Assistant tothe Presi="
_ dent. included--her- position-as_AS-—
‘sistant Secretary to the Board of
"Directors, her work with the Dean -
ery, the Friends of the Library

of all college events. She also
established two vital services --
the mimeo-duplicating-processing

‘College Archives, in which she

In speaking of these activities,
many of which relate to students
and faculty, Miss McBride again
notes Mrs. Paul’s great interest
in teaching, and recalls, as she
‘stated in her Commencement re-
marks in June,***how much she,

President Stresses
Need For Teachers
At Fall Convention
President Katharine McBride
opened the academic year with a
speech on elementary and secon- .
dary school education, and a plea a
to the student body to teach in
these fields, at the eightieth Fall
Convocation, September 22.
Miss McBride called elementary
and secondary school.education
‘‘the world’s major long-term pro-
blem,’? and added that, although
educators had discovered many
ways of improving pre-college ed-
ucation, there was a definite lag
between the ‘start of experiments
in curriculum and their visible
effects.
She cited as an example the
Class of 1968 which shows mére
than any previous class the effects
of the major curriculum revisions
-- an increased amount of science
‘offered anda more intensive teach-
ing of all subjects -- begun in 1956.
There has-been an eight-year lag
between the initiation of the pro-
gram and its. significant results.
Besides these revisions -- ele-
‘mentary and secondary school edu-
cafors made a mass attack on the
poor high : school, which has
suffered from the same time lag.
Miss.McBride concluded that six
to twelve years were necessary to
‘there was still a great gap between
the best und-the teast good scheels.
‘‘Equality of education’ © still
means anequal quantity, not quality
of education.
Miss McBride: closed her -con- -
vocation speech with a plea to
Bryn Mawr students to consider
teaching as a career.
‘‘Teaching is..not one of many .
"equally important jobs; it is one
“of ‘the most important,” She ob-—-
served, ‘‘and through teaching you
can take part in the most pren@is -
ing peacetime revolution of our
day. ” .

be to @xpress campus opinion on
_-ali_ matters which pertain to the

_ We will continue to act as afor-
um for student opinion through our
system of representatives from

their majors, and from each class
who articulate the thoughts and
ideas~of the student body at large.
Thus, we hope that the ideas and
suggestions of all Bryn Mawrters
will easily reach the committee
and can therefore ‘be considered
amd acted upon quickly. We also
plan to open most of the meetings

‘Two From Bryn Mawr Among Students
At Conference of National Student Assoc.
By Ying Ying Tsien, '65
This summer, Gill Bunshaft and
I attended the annual conferénce
of the National Student Associa-
tion’ from August. 16th. through
August 27th -at the University of
Minnesota. For four days prior to
the conference I attended the Stu-
‘dent Body Presidents’. Meeting,
which was: also sponsored by the
National Student Association.
For the uninitiated the National |
Student Association (NSA) is the
‘major student association in the
country: The association’ has a
membership of over 300 four-year
—colleges and is primarily con-
cerned with the rights and re-
sponsibilities. of students, the
maintenance of a high level of
education and academic freedom in
the United States and foreign coun-
tries, and the promotion of under-
stunding between .all students
throughout the world. Each year
a Congress is held, to which dele-
gates from member schools and
observers from * non-member
schools. and~ foreign countries
come, ‘in order to review the
policies of-the association; and
to initiate and disseminate inform-
ation on new programs, such as
travel discounts, service projects,
and conferences on education and
student - faculty - administration
relations. Moreover, the Con-
gress, in seminars and lectures,
provides an opportunity for ne
dents to meet with other students
and educators from all over the
country. The excharige of ideas
among students is one of the most
successful -and most. rewarding
aspects of the conference.
This year the major emphases
in all discussions can be expressed:
by three words: responsibility,
commitment and ‘‘expertise’’.
As exemplified by the committee
-meetings which prepared pieces of
legislation - for the meetings ‘of
the _ whole Congress and by the
passage of certain pieces of legis-
of the delegates that students have
a responsibility for the kind of
education they desire and the kind
of. society in which they. wish to
live. Furthermore the delegates
recognized that this’ responsibility
required a commitment onthe part
of the student to certain goals and
aims, a commitment which
~fnvoives active participation with
faculty and administration and
* other students in academic affairs ,*
and with organizations and student
rojects in social affairs. As one
delegate wrote;
*‘The main priorities of a stu-
“dent in his role as student are
the issues which he encounters
as -part of his course curriculum.
Whether in the humanities, the
physical sciences, or ,in the
social sciences, these concerns
relate directly to the study of the
society outside of the immediate
university environment.
‘Further, it is the main pur-
pose of an education to enable
~ the student to apply his knowl-
edge’ to the world in which he
lives. His examinations, papers,
class discussions are not ends
in themselves, but means ‘to the
formulation of reasoned judg-
ments on a variety of problems
and to the implementation of in-
telligent action in dealing with
these problems.’’
Although involvement and con-
cern for social and economic is-
sues within the society by the stu-
dent was advocated, the concern
with academic excellence was not
forgotten. The expression by many
students of the need for students
to~ be concerned with their aca-
demic education prompted the in-=
vention of the word ‘‘expertise’’.
‘*Expertise’’ was used throughout
the conference to mean specific
and definite knowledge and inform-
ation. It was thoroughly agreed
that ‘‘expertise’? was needed in
whatever’field _ students wished
to. act.
The conference members, as
these three main words may indic-
_ate, were perhaps idealistic in
their thoughts. They sought to
initiate reform in both the aca-
demic and community areas by
speeches and articles. One
delegate stated that the role of .
NSA was perhaps to .be a dream,
the dream of all students that
they will help establish a better
world, a better’ society in some
way. And yet NSA.need not be just
a’ dreani. Both “Gill and I hope
that. by talking with students and
the,-presidents of the Big Five,
we will be able to .convey some
of the specific proposals and re-
“commendations of the Congress.
We hope that people will show -
their interest, not only by, partici-.
pating in the various activities
sponsored by Undergrad and the
Big Five, but that they will also
show. an interest.in NSA so that
NSA itself, by a more active and
critical participation on the part
of the member schools, will be-
come stronger, and its goals not
just a dream, but a reality.

New Art Teacher a
Recommends I taly,
‘Pekingnese Duck’
Among the new. additions tothe
faculty.of Bryn.Mawr College. this
year is Mr, James E. Snyder, As-
sociate Professor in History of
Art.
Formerly .at the University of
Michigan, Mr. Snyder expressed
pleasure at coming to Bryn Mawr.
_*Michigah is getting to be justone
strip town’ (overgrown small town)
“after another,’ he said, “...from —
- Ann Arbor.to Detroit’?
He was especially displeased at
this development because of the
disappearance of good fishing
spots. Here Mr. Snyder expects to
take up again this pastime,
Mr, Snyder is also a tennis fan,
but apologizes bout not having
played in several years. He had
played in a few university tourna-
ments, ** but I always lost,’’? he
says.
His little three year old daughter
takes up much of Mr, Snyder’s
time _ at home,.“‘My.. wife: is -Chi-
nese,’’ he explains, ‘‘and we’re
trying to keep our daughter speak-
ing’ Chinese instead of English,.’’
Since he himself has a limited
Chinese vocabulary, this is be-
coming increasingly difficult. ‘‘My
daughter has*begun to teach me,”’
he laughs.
Oriental cuisine is = inter-
est of Mr. Snyder, and Pekingnese
roast duck is his favorite dish. He
and his wife Kit spend months
searching for the proper kind of
duck wit}/which to’ prepare the dish
here. **The frozen ducks atthe A &
P are exactly right,” he says now.
Getting back to academic sub-
jects, Mr. Snyder says he is most
interested-in- early Christian and
Flemish art. Presently he is teach-
ing courses in Medieval Art, the
Early Christian Basilica, and a
graduate seminar in The Apoca-
lypse and Art. _
In his field of work, travel is
essential, and Mr. Snyder loves
to travel. His favorite country is
Italy; ‘*itry togoasoftenasI can,’’
he says, and he advises everyone
to do the same,

Housing Great Problem
In Chester,
By Jeu Trubeck, °66 -
This summer. I was on the staff
of the Economic Research and Ac-
tion Project-of -the-Students-for a
Democratic Society in. Chester,
Pa. Chester was one of the ten
northern cities where. students
took part in. such projects. In
Chester, there were 11 students on
the staff, including Roger Eaton
from Haverford and four students
from Swarthmore..
We came into Chester after a
spring of large demonstrations
by*the Negro community on the
issues of schools and police bru-
tality. These demonstrations had
stoppéd by the middle of June,
when the project began. The Ches-
ter Committee for Freedom Now,
the active civil rights group in
Chester, had changed its empha-
sis from.large demonstrations and
mass meetings to working on more
local issues, such as bad housing.
Other groups, such as the Young: |
Adult Council, a group of students
and other young people from Ches-
Party, were also becoming active,

conjunction with the other groups

land ownership in the Negro area, —
on the conditions of the housing
in this area, on city services pro-
vided,.on unemployment.and-re-. -
training programs, and on the city |
urban renewal plan. We used this
information to select ten areas of
concentration for our work. We
~ set up community organizations
in these through which the people
could. try to solve the special
problems of that neighborhood,
Our: next step was to go into
the ‘areas, to talk to the people
about the problems of the com- ~~
munity, and to learn what the
most felt’ needs were. In most
of the areas, the biggest pro-
blem was housing conditions, with
‘a need for playgrounds coming

on action that would help remedy

civil rights groups, in Meridian,

applications: to register to-vote in
elections, ‘
Edna attended the training pro-
gram for COFO workers in Ox-
. ford,.-Ohio,: before--going to-.Mis=--
sissippi. ‘‘The main thing training
did,”” she said in a low, matter-" |
offact voice, ‘‘was to get you
scared, so you’d expect the worse.
Then when a violent. incident hap-
pened, you could accept it as nor-
mal, even.unimportant, so long as
no one got killed.’’
She chose Méridian after talking
to the project head, Michael Sch-
werner, Mr: Schwerner left fo
JOIN made it quite clear to all
whites .that it was giving equal
assistance to Negroes, One of the
major results of JOIN in Balti-
more was an overcoming of rac-
ism, By the end of the summer
whites were willing to work with
Negroes and even elected Negroes
as officers ‘at-the weekly meetings. -
Most. of -the- people JOIN was
‘trying to help were unemployed”
because of automation or a change
in government contracts. By or-
ganizing workers in protest, JOIN
hopes to make the government
aware that. it must provide ade-
quate compensation for job loss.
Many of-the unemployed ‘workers
live below subsistence level.
The success, of JOIN is hard to
measure because it-is-working-for
long-range goals and not immedi-
ate results, JOIN’s purpose was

Knowing that this kind of thing
could happen in Mississippi was
a big reason for a lot of us being
there in the first place, trying to

**One thing about press coverage

a lot of attention because white men

because it was a city, partly be-

for Downtown CORE in New
York. The following is Mary's
summary of the purposes and
effect of work carried on by
CORE.
It might seem unrealistic that a
‘college student can join an or-
ganization dedicated to significant
social change and, in the space of
three months, feel that he has not
only worked effectively in that
organization but also made a visi-
ble..contribution. towards..that..so-
cial change. Yet the Downtown
Congress. of Racial Equality
(CORE) in New York City and
numerous CORE chapters through-
out the country offer this oppor-
tunity to the interested student.
College students,-even though,
handicapped with limited time,
virgin ideas, and only academic
acquaintance with direct. action,
are welcomed in most local chap-
ters.
' But CORE is definitely not a
which attracted people to comein- “ployed, but to organize them in
side, They also handed out leaflets
in compensation lines, published a
newsletter, and had weekly meet-
ings, which started out with 4 or 5
people, and by the end of the sum-
mer had increased to em 50
people.
JOIN is an seiesonaien organi-
zation, although it is not affilia-
ted with any civil rights movement.
Since: poor whites are tradition-
ally racists, JOIN had two offices,
. one in the white section of the city
and one in the Negro section.
a
protest against job shortage and
inadequate compensation. It is hop-
ed that JOIN will eventually be a
community project with commun=-
ity leaders.
Although a good many of the JOIN
staffers in Baltimore during the
_ summers were’students, there are
now 3 or 4 permanent staff work-
ers in the two offices., And, this
winter there will be an opportun-
ity for “students in the vicinjty to

student organization. Many—of the——
faithfully active members hold
full-time jobs. The Negro mem-
bers, however, prefer not to be
thought of as ‘‘black bourgeoise.’’
Similarly, the white members
cringe at the tag ‘‘white liberal, ”
often a polite way of pointing out
an ineffectual intellectual. CORE

“Operation Eastside’’ is con-

each evening from 8 to 12, offering
a wide variety of shows.
Tune in and hear Fred Johanson

Throughout ‘the year ‘special

‘ed on topics of interest to both
campuses. Plans are being consid-
ered for a political debate between
supporters of Goldwater and John-
son, and the Committee for Social
Action has requested broadcast
time to present its views to stu-
dents. ‘
The station is ‘ite making
plans to accompany the orchestra:

of Mississippi, the police are right
at the front of the people who are

during the summer there were four

Students Meet in Avignon
To Study French Culture
By Barbara Loeb, °65
Students from thirty colleges and
- universities . attended the third
. Summer session of the Institut
The group,”
d’Etudes Francais,
sponsored by Bryn Mawr College,
was founded in 1962 with 36 stu-
dents.
The Bryn Mawr Institut has
several aims for its students. In
‘most cases an increased profi-
ciency in the French language,
both spoken and written, results.
The student also gains the ex-
perience of living and participating
in the life of the notoriously closed
French family circles, opportun-
ities to. become acquainted with
French youth 4nd share their ac-
«tivities, exposure to the historical
and cultural environment, in.ad-
dition’ to a fundamental study’ of
the country through specific
courses.
Under the direction of M. Michel
Guggenheim, the Institut offers an!
intensive six week program of
‘courses onthe literature, language,
‘history, government, and art of
France, Conducted by professors
from both France and America,
the classes train the student in
writing, reading, and speaking
fluent French as well as offering
more advanéed study of French
literature, politics, and culture.
According to M. Guggenheim, the
Institut will give graduate as well
as undergraduate credits beginning
with the 1965-session.
‘Apart from the courses, a lecture
. series on diverse subjects open
to the public provides a general
‘introduction to France.
One of the most beneficial
aspects of the Institut is the lodging
of students with. French families. -
The: short six weeks becomes a
daily practice of the language’, and
fluency is rapidly and painlessly
acquired. This living ‘‘enfamille’’
is an experience made possible .

tion of the Institut handled by the
secretary, Mme, Ravotte. In this

and their activities with the Am-
erican ‘students, and have been
extremely patient in remedying
their accents and enlarging their
In this way alone

‘¢moeurs’’? -- the habits and cus-
toms of daily routine.
When questioned, the majority
of the students said that they
chose the Bryn Mawr Institut be-
cause it left them a great deal of
liberty. These students did not.
want to be confined in a group of
other Americans, Classes are held
in the mornings, leaving ample free
time even after study and a siesta.
The Institut provides the students
with the opportunity to know France
not as tourists but as guests -- to
live the French life, not to observe
it.
The Institut is held at Avignon,
a city witha very agreeable climate
besides being a center of cultural
activity and historical interest.
The group is offered excursions
in the rest of Provence: Orange;
Les Baux; Arles; Aix; Le Pond
du Gard; la Camargue; Saintes
Marie de la Mer. The Théatre
National»Populaire presents three
plays in Avignon during the month
of July. In 1964 the group visited
Orange for a performance of ‘‘Le
Soulier de Satin,” Arles for “Les
_ Mouches,’? and the cathedral at
Aix-en-Provence for the Bach-
Vivaldi festival. Activities with
French students were organized,
and the Franco-American group
met cne evening with Swedish and
German youth for a discussion of
the Common Market. The mem-
bers of the group were soon fam-
iliar with Avignon, the Palais des
Papes, the Jardin du Verger, the
Pont Saint Bénezet, Villeneuve,
as well as the swimming pool re
the Isle de la Barthelasse. They
- belonged to the city for the sum-
_mer, learned to play pétanque, ~ ©
and’ stared just as hard at the
tourists from their seats: at the
cafes on the Place de l’Horloge
as did the other Avignonnais. :

. then perhaps you should see your College Placement Officer to learn more about the National

‘an on-campus interview with NSA apres )

‘finance & accounting, personnel or business
». administration, data systems programming
languages or linguistic research—you can make
use of your college-acquired capabilities with

opment . . . unusual design refinements in com-
puter & edp systems... . cryptologic and related
techniques. Your professional growth‘and earn-
ing power expand from the day you join us,
without having to wait for years of *“‘experience.”

‘research that will take you well. beyond known
and accepted boundaries of knowledge. Al-
though NSA is a key reséarch activity within
