M ost Ha verford Departments
Favor Change in Senior Year
Herbie Mann, jazz flutist, will present the
final Art Series concert Wednesday, March 19
at 8:30p.m. in Roberts Hall.
Widespread dissatisfaction exists at
present on the Haverford campus with
the system of 100 cours e s and senior
comprehensives , according to a poll ta ken recently by Prof. Robe rt Gavin. The
poll indicated that approximately threefourths of the depart me nts a re not happy
with their present s e nior programs. Two
departments, Engli~h and chemistry, have
begun action to make radical changes in
their s enior major offe rings.
At present all depa rtments are required
to offer a speci al c ourse, numbered 100,
for senior major s. To graduate, a student
must take the 100 course in his major
department and pass the comprehensive
examination in which it culminates. The

Aids Organizations in Ghetto
By Mauro Bottalico
In response to a surprise plea for
cooperat ion from Herman Wrice at
Haverford Economics 12 lecture three
weeks ago, a number of economics
students have volunteered to join the effort
to ameliorate cond i tions in the
Phila delphia ghetto. Wrice is director of
Man tua Enterprises Inc. (MEI) and Young
Great Society (YGS) , two organizations
devoted to ghe .,to improvement.
Haverford studen ts have been solicited
to provide t he skills t hey possess: the
abilities to research and write. A vanguard
o f 10 volunteers has already begun
p rep aring reports o n MEl for submission
to public and private fou ndations offering
gran ts. Eventually, t hey may prepare
business statements to aid infant industries
in obtaining bank loans and orders from
industry.
Mobilizatio n
The general effort to help YGS. is still
being mobilized. When ready, m embers of
the Haverford - based organization will
travel into the Mantua area, or wherever
YGS
projects are located, inte rview the
people running each specific program, and
write reports on their findings.
T his operation w ill serve three purposes.
It wi ll aid
the preparation of
applications for the renewal oi expired
grants. It will sketch present
YGS
programs to determine the possibility of
attracting new grants as they become
available. Lastly, students will compile a
manual of descriptive material for groups
outside the Philadelphia area who are
interested in copying the YGS formula
for success.
Ongoing Program?
At this moment, there is no official
departmental policy on participation in the
two organizations. Students in Economics
3 0, however, are receiving credi t for their
work and Economics 12 students may
participate in lieu of a term paper.
Successful development of the experiment
would conceivably lead to an ongoing
off-campus course next year.

hensive varies widely from department to
department, Gavin' s poll revealed, Most
of the departments, however, indicated
they were not happy with their pr es ent
requirements and did not consider them
"a necessary and valuable experience"
for their senior majors.
Objections Vary
The specific objections varied, Gavin
pointed out. Members of the chemistry department felt most strongly about the com prehensive exam. " Right now we de mand
that a student be able to answer a question
in, say, organic and biochemistry, which
(Prof.) Harmon Dunathan makes up because I don't know much about it, and a
question in chemical physics, which I make
up because he doesn't know much about
that, and something in between, which
(Prof. John) Chesick and (Prof, Colin) McKay make up. I would like to be able to
do well on an exam like that, but don't really
think I could.'' On the other hand, members of the biology department were pleased
with the opportunity for r eview afforded by
the comprehensive, but felt that putting together a 100 cour se suitable for all the
biology majors is a hopeless task,
Since the reorganization of the chemistry
department approved by the members of
the department and the majors on Friday
calls for examination of both the 100 course
and the comprehensive, the department
plans to petition the educational policy cornrnittee tomorrow to permit each department
to decide for itself whether to continue of( Continued on page 4)
Alumnae Survey Released
Says 75'o of '68 Grads
Pursue Academic Studies
Graduate study remains the most corn rnon
post gq-aduation activity among Bryn Mawr
graduates, a recent survey conducted by the
BMC Bureau of Recommendations reveals.
Of the 75% of the Class of 1968 whoresponded more than half are studying.
Of the 73 women who reported themselves
doing post-graduate study, -25 are Ph.D.
candidates, and 11 are enrolled in M.A.
programs. There are also sixinlawschool
and five in medical school. Another five
are studying abroad on Fulbright -grants.
The remainder of those responding reported they were working. Mrs . Marcella
Congdon, director of the bureau described
the job breakdown as '' gratifyingly broad
and interestingly ' other-directed.' " She
said that the distribution does not show
"any significant change in vocational goals
since the strong shift to societal problems
in the mid 60's".
Those women working for private industry
reported the highest average salaries with
government and private non-profit organization jobs following in that order. The
average salary for those working in the
glamor fields -- publishing, radio, television, and advertising -- was significantly
lower than average salaries in other fields.
Mrs. Congdon . noted that the salaries
reported by last year's graduates are consistently lower than the national average
of those offered to last year's women
college graduates . She attributed this to the
fact that Bryn Mawr grads ''follow their
interests and commitments; they'renotfollowing the dollars."

Calendar
Administrators and students from
Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore and Haverford
are currently investigating
the feasibility of modifying the present
calendar. The new "interim" calendar
would make beginning and ending dates
uniform, perhaps shorten Thanksgiving
vacation to one day and establish a one
week holiday in late October or early
November. Revamping the January
schedule is also being considered.
The administrations must use
vision in planning this "interim" calendar, keeping in mind that the
goal of all planning must be the
institution of a 4-1-4 calendar to best
serve our community. We realize the
impositions placed upon all factions
of the tri-college community in
adjusting to any calendar changes.
The Bryn Mawr faculty, somewhat
dissatisfied with this year's change,
will likely be unreceptive to another
slightly modified version which may
be quickly followed by yet another change to a 4-1-4.
This jeapordizes the installation
of the 4-1-4 calendar, which must be
in use no later than two years from
now. The Bryn Mawr faculty must
remain open to all well-reasoned calendar changes. at any time. The
hardships invoved in yearly calendar
changes are not sufficient impediments
to rule out the 4-1-4 plan.
The Haverford faculty must be
consulted by Associate Dean David Pot-ter, though changes at Haverford
are
now
merely administrative
decisions.
Most important is that students,
many of whom have shown dissatisfac-
tion with anything other than a
4-1-4 calendar, be given a responsible
position in formulating and instituting the plan. With vision and
reason all elements of the tri-college community can reach consensus
on the correct path to take--the path
which best leads to a 4-1-4 calendar.
1968 Self Gov
And Undergrad
Since Self Gov and Undergrad are
intended to be the nerve centers of
student life at Bryn Mawr, it is
periodically necessary to analyze and
evaluate their roles and performance.
In the past year Self Gov, although
working as a representative of student
demands, has not really drawn the
students of Bryn Mawr together as we
might have hoped it would,
There were many changes in the social
life of Bryn Mawr during the administration of the current president of Self
Gov. Eight a.m.'s including the use of
keys have been made into a workable
system. The "overnight t o Haverford"
policy has seen its first year of use.
Recently, the dress r ule and the "men
in the rooms" r ule have been ch anged.
All these new policies, and the way in
which they were put into effect reflects
the kind of Self Gov administration
we have had this year. We should say
that Self Gov has been sporadically
active. Only when a particular situation
was raised by the s tudentsanddemanded
immediate attention did it act.
Many of these specific changes were
initiated before Kathy Murphey's e lection, and those made this year wer e
Viewpoint:
Dorm Living Survey Displays
Bias, Uniustified Gen-e ralization
By Gretchen Wolff
would like to register a s trong protest against the Viewpoint by Kay Seygal
in the NEWS of February 25. This article,
I feel, is typical of the kind of jumping
to conclusions that can arise from sloppy
reporting based on inaccurate and biased
surveys, and can lead to severe misrepresentations of the actual climate of student opinion.
Proven Opinion
To begin with, Miss Seygal clearly undertook the survey to prove an opinion that
she already held, namely that Bryn Mawr
students are discontented with dormitory
living and that some alternative is desirable and necessary, There is nothing
wrong with this opinion, and indeed, few
surveys are undertaken without some advance prejudice. But Miss Seygal made
no attempt to suppress her partiality;
for instance, when s he asked me the third
question on her list, "Would you like
to see a variety of living experiences
possibly on- campus, for example, dorm
exchanges, .• ?" she did not phrase it
as she gives it in the article, but rather,
"Don't you think there should be a variety
of living experiences at Bryn Mawr?"
with no further exemplification, The phrasing of the question in the ·negative interrogative puts the person being questioned
on the spot, almost requiring an answer
of, "Well yes, of course... " from anyone
not on the look-out for such tricks. The
question as asked, with little or no elaboration or explanation, was virtually a
rhetorical one, and the answers given to
it should not be considered as meaningfully representative of student opinion on
such matters as co-ed dorms and dorm
exchanges,
- Further, the conclusions that Miss Seygal claims to draw from her survey are
in every case exaggerated and sometimes
downright illogical. The first conclusion,
that ''a sizable minority of students is
unhappy and dissatisfied with its present
living experience" needs qualification which
the survey does not begin to provide: how
many students respond with a tentative
"yes" to the question "Would you consider .. , ?" who are actually not "restive, frustrated" oppressed dormitory
.dwellers at all but only Bryn Mawrters
long trained to say they will consider
anything? The conclusion that this campus
if full of unrest because 54% of students
questioned said they might consider (not
that they had thought of demanding) offcampus-living, is grossly exaggerated.
The conclusions Miss Seygal draws from
the second question are equally unfounded: the question asked "Would you
be interested in seeing the r ule, . ,abolished . or discussion begin which would
lead to modification of the rule?" As
with the first question, anyone can be
willing to see a rule discussed which
she has no overwhelming desire to see
abolished.
It seems downright closedminded to deny the possibility of discussion, simply for the sake of others who
might be interested in abolition of the
rule; and Mis~ Seygal succeeded admirably in giving me, for one, the impression that everyone else wanted the rule
abolished,
In this way it is at least possible that
each affirmative answer to question two
was given simply out of unwillingness to
refuse "discussion" of the rule. This,
of course, is also a dis torted reading of
the s tatistics, but the possibility of this
attitude- on the part of many of the 96%
who said "yes" s hould not be disregarded.
Finally, as I have already said, the
indefiniteness of question three made its
results virtually meaningless.
Poor Generalization
I would also question Miss Seygal's
sweeping generalizations about the decrepitude of campus life, She has no basis
or documentation whatever for saying that
at the average hall meeting only one third of the residents are present, or
that the "concepts" of the hall meeting
has collapsed. This is empty rhetoric,
I have no objection to the question of
off-campus living being discuss ed, and
I doubt if anyone else here really does,
But I think it a shame that at Bryn Mawr
•discussion of any rule seems inevitably
to lead to its abolition, by a process of steamrolling wherein everyone
is given to believe that everyone else
i s "angered" and "restive"- -especially
when such a belief is created by the kind
of really faulty interrogation, reasoning,
and reporting that this article exemplifies,
brought up by
.
side self Gov. The colloquium, whlch
has become so important to Bryn ~awr
as both a community and an educaho~al
institution was initiated from outslde
Self Gov. Even after the idea for the
colloquium was suggested, self Go~ took
no part in its planning. self Gov _o bvwus ly
does not consider the colloqumm to be
its responsibility' but in its role a~. a
pacesetter and center of student life,
it should have assumed the lead role.
What ever became of Miss Murphey' s
exciting campaign proposal that small
dorm councils be held frequently,
in order to keep social questions ali ve
and insure close communication between
all four classes?
There seems to have been no overall
improvement in student morale during
the past year. Part of the reason for
this may be self Gov's quiet withdrawal
into inertia. The Self Gov president
should be a campus leader. She s h ould
help to set the tone for the College by
being active and playing a dom inant role
in student affairs .
Perhaps if Kathy
Murphey had been more active and outspoken, go,ne to eat in different dorms ,
spoken to more students, and seemed
more interested, her influen ce as pres ident of Self Gov would h ave been fe lt.
Although no huge promises of change
were made in l ast year' s campaign for
Unde r gr ad president , Undergr ad's year
was not as dynamic as
we had
hoped. The job was well done, ch ange s
wer e m ade, long-exis tingproblem swere
irQned out, but the adminis tration was
unii:n aginative.
Meal exchange was finall y settled, I,D,
cards were is sued, committees to discuss bi-college problems were set up,
and all the other perenni al t asks of
Undergr ad were fulfilled. Undergrad did
spons or a weekend conferen ce on "The
Challenge of the Citie s" in coope r ation
with the Alumnae Association.
This ·
was an excellent idea and Undergrad
should continue to sponsor jointproje cts
like this ,
If Undergrad President Doris newton
seemed to l ack imagination, it is probably
be cause she had insufficient supportfr om
the s tudent body. Without adequ ate
as sis tance Miss newton was forced to
fulfill persona lly many of the demands
made on Undergr ad, which could h ave
been handled by a ssistants , This con cer n
with detail left the pres ident of Unde rgr ad
no time to devote to l arger is s ues, or to
the conception of new ideas .
Neither Self Gov nor Undergr ad
seemed able to set a tone for Bryn
Mawr: Self Gov because it was t oo
inactive, and Undergrad because it h ad
too many small de mands made on it .
It would solve some of their proble m s
if Self Gov and Undergrad would be i n
the future work together on many issues.
There are many problems which concern
both organizations (such as coedu cation)
and the two could profit from such
hold frequent joint meetings. The two
presidents, certainly, should be in close
communication, so that together they can
set the tone for student life here.

48-47 Swimming Victory
By Ralph Stroh l
swarthmor e College defeated
Haverford College in s wimming
at the Haverford School pool Saturday afternoon. The score wa s
48-47.
Haverford r eceived good performances from all of its ent r ants ,
but was unable to s ucces s fully
counter the challenge of the Gar net's fine freshmen, Burns a nd
voegtlen.
Four Firsts
This pair was responsible for
four of Swarthm ore' s five first place finishes , each taking two.
voegtlen led a Garnet s weep of
the fifty-yard freestyle with a
time of 0:23.5. Later in the meet
he set a Swarthm ore C'ollege record In the one . hund red yard
freestyle, posting a time of
0:52.5. This performance enab led him to just barely touch out
Haverford's Mike Briselli, who
posted a time of 0:52. 9, 0:00.8
under the Ford record.
Burns added firsts in the backstroke and the individual medley
events. In the latter, Briselli
again proved troublesome as he
swam the event in a time of2:1 6.
9, four seconds under his own col lege record.
The Fords were never out of the
meet, however, due lar gely t o the
very strong performances of
freshman Bob Bilane and junior
Geoff Wilson. The duo provided
a sweep of the two hundred and
five hundred yard freestyles,
with B!lane taking first in ea ch
event. Wilson added a first in the
butterfly event.
Haverford also r eceived s ome
unexpectedly fine performances.
Chuck Heaton provided a point
by taking a third in the butterfly.
Duncan MacLean swam his best
tim e in the backstroke , but was
unable t o take third in a ver y close
race .
The most surprising perfor mance was that of diver J oe Dickins on, howeve r. Coming out in the
las t two weeks of the s eason, the
junior contributed five points to
to the team effort by winning the
dive.
Dan Jenkins, the team's
regular diver, performed quite
well, also, but was unable to place
in a rather hotly contested event.
It was not until the 200 breas t stroke, the next -to -last event of
the
meet,
that Swarthmore
clinched its first victory over
Haverfor d in three yea rs. Sophomore Tom Kovaric swam his
fastest time in this event, equaling
his performance a gains t the Garnet
last year . This yea r it proved
insuffic ient as he was defeated
by three strokes by Lemke in a
race which was t ouch -and - go for
all eight lengths.
Excitement
Although the meet was out of
range at this point, the For ds
still had some excitement to provide for the small but vociferous
crowd. The college record for
the freestyle fell to a team of
Dave Rothstein, s ophom ore Tony
Smith, Bilane, and Bris elli, The

H'ford Hum 1-2
To Be Concluded
With This Term
"Humanities 1-2 will not be started
again next year. After a two-year cycle
it has come to the conclusion of the experiment," said Haverford Provost Gerhard Spiegler.
The Humanities 1-2 course will, however, be continued as Humanities 3-4 next
year under Prof. Marcel Gutwirth and
Prof. Linda Gerstein.
Spiegler said, "The program is set up
on an extremely expensive basis and is
totally supported from the outside by the
Old Dominion grant. w e have spent more
or less the amount available to us.''
Spiegler said that two aspects ·of the
two-year Humanities 1-4 double credit
course will be studied and evaluated to
determine the feas ibility of inclusion in
the new freshman seminars.
Team teaching will be evaluated, said
Spiegler. "Some like it and some don't,"
he said, citing the costliness of the undertaking.
Spiegler said the desirability of developing a stTong group identity, as in the
two Humanities 1-4 classes, is being examined. In order to ''work up an evaluation" two professors other than the current humanities instruct ors (Gutwirth and
Prof. Roger Lane in Humanities 3-4 and
Prof. Daniel Gillis and Prof. Josiah Th~mp­

Academic Standing
At its meeting on Feb. 5, 1969, the
committee on academic stand!ngdecided
that it was appropriate and important to
inform the student body that as of the
second semester of 1968-69 the com·
mittee may act at its discretion to drOll
s tudents at times other than at the end
of the semester. This action would be
taken when, in the committee's judgment, the student involved was no longer
actively pursuing his studies in a serious
fashion at the College. The same provisions for the protection of a student
would apply then as they do at the end of
the semes ter.
