CHANGES PASSED BY
SELF GOVERNMENT
Responsibility   of   Keeping   Quiet
Hours to be Placed on Individuals
and Petty Restrictions Removed
REPORT ON WEEK ENDS READ
Changes in the proctor system, the re-
moval of some restrictions and the reports
on week ends came under discussion at
the Self-Government meeting held in the
chapel on March 1st.
The motion, that all proctors be dispensed
with until the Easter vacation and that
responsibility for maintaining quiet hours
rest entirely on each individual was passed
after very little discussion. K. VanBibber,
'24, Radnor Head Proctor, spoke in sup-
port of the experiment and E. Crowell,
Rockefeller Head Proctor, pointed out that
a body is not strictly self-governing if it
has to resort to police force.
The measure that three or more students
be allowed to go to the Saturday evening
concerts of the Philadelphia Orchestra un-
chaperoned, provided they return directly
to college, passed unanimously. This reso-
lution cannot go into effect until it has
passed two meetings and been approved
by the Board of Directors, as it affects
one of the original rules of the Constitu-
tions. Resolutions providing that students
may be sent home by their hostesses in pri-
vate vehicles, provided they return directly
to College and arrive before 10.30, that
Mrs. Ireland's boarding house at Atlantic
City be added to the list of places where
students may stay overnight unchaperoned
and thai Cathay be added to, the list of
places where students may dine unchap-
eroned  were all passed unanimously.
The report on week ends, read by J.
Ward, '23, president of the association,
showed that 91.62 per cent, have taken four
or less week ends and that 1.81 per cent, is
the average number of week ends taken per
person out of which 1.35 per cent, is the
average taken for pleasure. At the time of
the week end discussion last year the aver-
age was 3.86 per cent. Miss Ward said
that the difference in number is partly be-
cause statistics have been taken more accu-
rately, and partly because the Faculty have
made the academic work harder.
The provision that the Pembroke East
music room windows should be an excep-
tion to the rule that students must not get
in and out of the windows has been re-
moved by the Self-Government Board.
Hereafter the Undergraduate Association
will rent a key which will be kept in A.
Pantzer's room for the use of the students.
The total amount of money pledged to the Louvain Library exclusive of the
Graduate contributions, amounts to $625.
Amount collected from drive in Taylor ..........................   $110.00
Amount collected from drives in Halls...........................     175.50
Amount collected from Faculty..................................       65.00
APPARATUS MEET TO BE HELD
THIS FRIDAY AFTERNOON
First and Second Teams Participate
Ropes and Club Drill Omitted
Rope climbing and Indian club drill will
be omitted from the apparatus meets this
year, according to a decision reached at a
meeting of captains and managers of
teams, and the first and second team meets
will be held together .on March 9 and 16.
The meets will include work on horses
and parallel bars by teams of nine, indi-
vidual exercises by an optional number of
team members, and class pyramids. Con-
trary to general supposition, individual en
tries will not count toward class points.
Mr.. Bishop, of the Haverford School,
will judge first and second team horse
exercises, and Mr. Cromic, of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, first and second team
bar exercises. The class captains are J.
Richards '23, B. Tuttle '24, Mi Brown, '25,
and G. Leewitz '26.
The "Miscellaneous" is a "startling de-
velopment" which will appear, for the first
time, in the lower team meets, on March 7
and March 14. It will consist.of the Fresh-
man "'fifth and sixth teams competing
against a combination of Seniors, Juniors,
and Sophomores, who arc too. few in
number to compete as class teams. They
will be judged entirely upon surprise drill.
The third and fourth teams will also
compete on March 7 and March 14. Like
the higher teams, they will do horse and
bar work, and present individual exercises.
MISS MAUDE ROYDEN WILL
SPEAK HERE MARCH 17 AND 18
Famous English Preacher will Speak

Miss Maude Royden, founder of the
New Fellowship Services in London, now

THREE    FRESHMEN     PLAY
In a hard-fought, but rather one-sided
game last Saturday morning, Varsity de-
feated the University of Pennsylvania with
a score of 46-19.
�The team showed evidences of not being
fit, and, though the playing of the first
half was fast and good^ resulting in a
score of 27-11, it becam? disorganized in-
the second. In the center F. Martin '23,
and M. Palache '24 played more wildly than
usual,   making   their'  game   look   a   little

ment, Liverpool, for three years, and then

V�i*
The question gf changing the design of
the College ring was discussed at a meet-
ing of the Undergraduate Association held
in Taylor Hall last Thursday evening.
Francis Childs, '23, a member of the
committee which originally selected the
ring, summed up thc arguments against
changing the design or stone of thc ring.
She explained the difficulty of getting a
design which will please thc entire College.
The chief objections to rev#r?ing stones-in
class colors, she said,' arose from the fact
that it is almost impossible to find good,
yet inexpensive, stones in some colors, and
that different stones have to be cut in
different ways. If we establish a precedent
,of changing it, she concluded, we will never
have a college ring. A. Howell, '23, al-
though she agreed with Miss Childs' re-
marks, said that a college ring should be
a ring for the college. If people did not
like it, a committee should be appointed
to investigate possible changes. E. Howe,
'24, suggested that many people did not
care to pay $20 for a ring which they did
not consider good looking.
As a quorum was not present, a sense
of the meeting was taken which showed
a majority vote against appointing a com-
mittee to investigate the ring. Another
meeting will be held this week.
EUROPEAN     FELLOWSHIPS    TO     BE
ANNOUNCED   MARCH   16
Seniors and Graduates to Give  Dinners
to European  Fellows
President Park will announce the Senior
and Graduate Europeon Fellowships, the
Senior Upper Ten, and the five highest
Junior grades in chapel on Friday, March
16. Resident fellowships, undergraduate
scholarships, and prizes will not be an-
nounced until May 1.
The Bryn Mawr European Fellowship,
founded in 1889, is intended to provide for
one year's study at a foreign university.
1922's European Fellow was Sylva Thur-
low, who headed her class with 262 points.
Graduate fellowships to be announced are
the President's Fellowship for students
who have completed one year of graduate
work at Bryn Mawr, and the Mary E.
Garrett Scholarship for students who have
done two years of graduate work. In 1922
the former was won by Grace Lubin, '21,
the latter by Helen Frances Wood. Fel-
lowship dinners, given in honor of the
European Fellows, will be held in Rocke-
feller and Pembroke Halls, thc night of
March 16.
According to the present honor point sys-
tem of computing grade* begun in 1922,
each hour of merit counts one, credit two,
and high credit three. 270 or more honor
points constitute a Summa Cum Laude, 220
or more, Magna Cum Laude, and 170 or
more, Cum Laude.
more to the point, got the ball to their own
players. Indeed, for a period at the be-
ginning of the game, it went direct from
Martin's tap, to Palache, to thc forwards
and into thc basket without a hitch. It
was only by the hardest fighting, many
short, quick passes, and the long shots of
tluir forwards, that Pennsylvania managed
to score. Their center was perhaps Penn-
sylvania's weakest point, missing passes
from thc guards and fumbling those to
the forwards. M. Buchanan and E. Howe
'24, who went in for Martin and Palache
in thc second half, did not work so well
with their forwards. The center became
diM>rKanized; but they managed to keep
Pennsylvania's score down.
Working against a faster combination of
forwards than in the Sweetbriar game,
Varsity's guards were a little flustered,
while S. McAdoo '26 fouled inexcusably.
G. Leewitz '26, who took the place of S.
Leewitz '24, in the second half, was very
quick, and upset her forward's shots by
guarding her closely; she played a less ex-
perienced game than S. Leewitz '24, who
was not up to her usual pretty form.
C. Remak "25 and F. Jay "26 made the
best combination as forwards that Var-
sity has had this year. C. Remak was
as impregnable as ever, although seeming
to tire quickly, she made less effort than
in the Sweetbriar game. E. Howe's passes
to her were, not high enough and she rarely
exerted herself to recover them. F. Jay
was a little slow, but played a clean, neat
game; next to Remak she made far the
highest personal score of any of this year's
forwards, and it is notable that she
achieved this without playing an individual
game.
