STUDENTS INTERCHANGE IDEAS
Four Summer School students, back at
Bryu Mawr for the .meeting of the Joint
Administrative 'Committee, and H. Hum-
phries, '23, who was in charge of the
sch7>ol dramatics,- explained .different phases
of the school ,jit an open meeting last Sat-
urday night.
"Women today are new in industry; the
greater part go to work at a very early
ajjc," explained Tilly Lindsay, president of
the school Alumnae Association, who has
spent (wo summers at Hryn Mawr. "They
have many problems to face, more even
than they* know about, and Rryn Mawr
offers them an opportunity to find out the
truth about problems Jhat they will in-
evitably have to face."*Qnc of the great
advahtages of the school, according to Miss
Lindsay, is that it brings students from all
parts of the country together, and gives
them new ideas and new points of view.
Maude Folcy, also a second year student,
described the subjects studied at the school
-She commended very highly the course in
Psychology and Hygiene, deeming the lat-
ter very necessary for women in industry
"Students at Bryn Mawr," she concluded,
"'take back to their industries many help-
ful  and recreational activities."
"It is a pity that we'of the 'Winter
School' anil the Summer School do not
know more about each othcrf since we are
forced to live with each other's ghosts,'
declared Haroldine Humphries. "The un-
dergraduates who return for the summer
were intended to help with athletics and
make themselves generally useful. It wa-
also originally intended that they should
adopt some of the Winter School traditions
This plan, however, did not jpork, and the
Summer School has developed traditions ol
its own." Miss Humphries alst> mentioned
the many advantages gained Iry Under
graduates who spent four or more week;
at the school. She spoke of it as an
economics laboratory where one learned
many things t�at books had forgotten to

SELF-GOVERNMENT PASSES
SEVEN RESOLUTIONS
Freshmen to be. Restricted in Theatre-
Going Privileges Without
Chaperones             ,
SUNDAY    TENNIS    DISCUSSED
Measures regarding smoking and Knick-
ers as passed at the last meeting were con-
firmed, the theatre-going regulation was
amended and questions of tennis on Sun-
day and other matters were voted upon at
the meeting of the Self-Government A'sso
ciation last evening.
The motion that students be allowed to
gO to the theatre, concert or opera with a
man uncbaperoned if escorted back to col-
lege immediately alter tOC performance,
was amended to the effect that' freshmen
be allowed to do this only when given
special permission by the Hoard. In spite
of the freshman straw vote 54-18 in favor
of the regulation, considerable discussion
was aroused. The question of discrimina-
tion was brought up from several points of
view, one freshman remarking, "Since the.
whole .of   Serf-Government   depends   upon
honor, freshmen should be trusted as much
�
BS any one." Miss Strauss, however,
poipted out that it would not be derogatory
to honor as the Board would trust fresh-
men absolutely if they said they were
allowed to go unchaperoncd at home. The
amendment 'was accepted and the whohLI
resolution   was  carried.     But   il   cannot   Wr'

MR. SURRETTE TO GIVE NEW SERIES
OF  MUSICAL  LECTURES  THIS YEAR
Palestrina  Choir^to  Sing   Monday
"The Development of Choral Music" will
be the-first of a new series of lecture
recitals which will be given by Mr. Thomas
Whitney Surrette, Director of the Depart-
ment of Music, beginning Monday evening,
November 27, in Taylor Hall. The Pales-
trina Choir of Philadelphia, of seventy-five
� voices, will sing a program of ancient and
modern choral music, following Mr. Sur-
rette's explanatory lecture.
�The lectures will be conducted on the
same plan as- last year. At each recital
Mr. Surrette will give an historical sketch
of the composers and a descriptive analysis
of the works to be performed Iwforc the
actual rendering. The development of song,
Brahms, Cesar, Franck, Debussy and Ravel,
will be the topics of the other lectures.

trations, in addition to th^i'alcstrina Choir.

into effect yet as it involves one of the
original laws of the constitution and thus
has still to go before the Board of Trus-
tees. This same formality applies to the
regulation passed at the last meeting, re-
garding the movies in Ardmore.
Smoking in private houses, wearing atb
ili< knickers with the same privileges as
hockey skirts, and non-athletic knickers for
sports, were passed without discussion.
Playing cards in the drawing rooms on any
day except Sunday was anonymously car-
ried. .Regulations for the victrolas were
then discussed. There was a suggestion
that they be played at any time except
quiet hours, Imt this was defeated out of
consideration for the people whose rooms
are neaTby. As finally carried the motion
provides that victrolas may be played 1.30
to 2(H) any day except Sunday, 6.00 to 7.30
Monday to Thursday inclusive, ami 6.00
to ''.ft) Friday and Saturday. The Head
Proctors may give permission to play them
at other times.
LastJy the question of playing tennis on
Sunday was brought up. A motion that it
should be permitted all day was defeated
as it,was pointed .out that the clubs arounfl
Philadelphia do not allow sports Sunday
morning lest it should seem to discourage
church-going, and that if Bryn Mawr did
this it would react unfavorably on the repu-
tation of the College. It was finally voted
to allow tennis on-Sunday afternoons only.
This could not be counted as exercise
since a rule of the Association already
forbids athletic costume on campus on
Sunday after breakfast. This motion,
however, .does not go into effect yet as it
must stiff pass the Athletic Association
which has a rule now against any sort of
athletics on campus on Sunday.  �
Miss Ward closed the meeting by ex-
plaining the necessity of signing up a com-
prehensible address in the book on going
away from college and, urged that callers
be promptly dismissed at 10.30. The war-
dens have taken �>ff the rule that callers
should leave-at 10.00, but it is awkward for
(them if people are not prompt in leaving.
(Specially contributed by Professor
Qrorptam Goddord King)
Two things struck us forcibly last sum-
'iHcr, in Constantinople, among all the facts
that everybody told us : the first that there
was no "colour" left there ; the other, that
?since the Allied occupation, half the Turk
ish population had gone.
The first we could see for ourselves ;. the
wild dog>. were gone, the veiled ladies.
Turbans were few. and small, and worn
only by elderly men, conceivably ecclesi
astical ; the long flapping gown was ever
rarer; and sad-colored or faded in hue
Tlu- red fez, of course, was everywhere
but "the Laze boatmen who rowed 'GUI
caiques up the Golden Horn were dressed
otherwise, like Neapolitan fishers and Ye
netian gondoliers. The gentlewomen win
strolled and sat about at The Sweet Water:
of \sia on a Friday afternoon, wore gen
erally a shortish skirt,* a. cape to match
and veil over the hair, that fastened under
the chin, while terracotta, bronze green
or maroon were commoner shades than
daffodil or rose-color. Three of them
came one day, with pretty courtesy, t�
act as volunteer guides in the Imperial
Museum. One of them was a student, one
had her University degree, one was mar
ricd. "Do your husbands like you to run
around and show your faces?" we asked
and the answer came with a laugh and ."
shrug. "Oh! our husbands are even more
modern than we!" If lack of local coloi
is due to modernity all along the line, and
modernity means a freer democracy, a;
Zia Bey has shown in this week's Nation
then we must not regret the change.
The other fact was graver and one can
but hope that it was not wholly true ; for
it carries terrible implications, if half tht
people of the town would sooner leave
their native home and go" into danger and
exile and misery than remain under British
rule. The state of a refugee is very
wretched; we saw once an old mosqiM
filled with Turkish refugees, women, chil
drcn. and old men; and elsewhere, a
mosque yard, where Armenians had sett tad
down into a kind of tattered permanency
With these sights before him, a man would
think long before taking helpless creature
away from their birthplace and their own
natural land.
For that is what we came to see more
and more as we went aboig, week by week,

JUNIORS DEFEAT SENIORS
IN LAST GAME OF FINALS
For Firrt Time in Junior's History

TEAMS CLASH IN TENSE FIGHT
Winning   the   second   place   of   ibe   first
team finals yesterday with a score of 6-2,
the Juniors have earned, for the first time '
in their college  career,  the 'right* to'bang
their  banner  on  the  (iymmrsium.
The game .was marked by hard, tease
fighting and by a-complete lack of s|>ec-
toCUhw plav,. The Juniors' advantage lay
in their defense, which kept the ball in the
opponents territory during most, of the
gamc.- V. Corse, '2J,. proved excellent at
securing the ball and passing quickly, but
her most determined efforts Failed to com-
pensate for the disorganization of the
Green backfield, which lacked one of its
most dependable players. F. Martin, cen-
'-'' forward for the Seniors, was badly
handicapped by a stiff tendon in her knee,
which prevented her running' quickly. F.
Begg Junior forward, proved adept at
evading the Senior backs, but in general
the play of both of the forward lines was
decidedly mediocre. At the end of the sec
ond half the Green team rallied and .Martin
shot, in rapid succession, the only two
goals, which the Seniors scored. During
the same half, the Juniors sang "Who
Does." a class hoodoo, with the result that
P. Begg, '24, was'immediately hit in the
head by a hockey stick and disabled foT
iln   rest of tlu- game.
The tii st name of the finals, which the
Juniors also won, score 6-3, showed far
better teanvwork and a far greater degree
of personal brilliancy. M. Adams, '23. K.
Vincent, '2i, and M. Faries, '24, played
especially   well.
Vfter the final game tile Seniors took
their banner down from Pembroke Arch
with the usual ceremony of cheering, and
tin- Junior banner was hung .above the
entrance to the Gymnasium, where 1922's
has hung since they won the All-around-
athletic  Championship  last  year.

INTEREST   IN   MAJORS  SHOWS
DECIDED   RISE   AND   FALL
Psychology "Gaining   in   Popularity
Major subjects of great popularity ten
or fifteen years ago are being rapidly super-
seded by others, according to statistics pre-
pared for the president's yearly report.
Last year the biggest major class was
Kconomics and Politics, with thirty-four
students in all, a number which has never
been equalled since 1914. The numbers in
History groups have been increasing, and
reached the climax in 1919 with thirty-five
students. Since then they have dropped
to twenty, twenty-two, and twenty-seven
"atin, a subject so scorned last year that
it had one sole major, was until 1910 the
most desired of subjects. Psychology in
seven years has increased from ten to
double that number, and French, always
the most popular foreign language, last
year even heal the old Stand-by* Knglish,
by two points.
The News takes great pleasure in an
nouncing that K. Glessncr, '25, has been
made an associate editor.
