Barnard College seniors face a move to shift comprehensives to the week of April 21 and require them to take all course exams. Deans Thomas Pearson and Millicent McIntosh say the plan is a campus-wide experiment, aiming to ease year-end disruptions but intensifying spring workloads for seniors.
The note laments delayed final exam schedules and previews from the Registrar's Office. It mentions early notification as helpful for arranging study over vacation and anticipates the traditional results or white sheets before the holiday.
In a Jester press release the Barnard girl is accused of lacking masculinity while Columbia boys view Barnard students as creatures to be atoned. The piece mocks purity over wit and debates femininity, intelligence, and propriety, concluding the satire fails to blunt Barnard’s appeal.
A narrator muses on subway strikes creating paranoia and obsession in Ambler, Brooklyn residents as daily life details loom large. A Bronx to Manhattan trip, a Columbia campus scene, and a push by a bear-like friend mark a chaotic morning amid lectures and libraries.
Judith Johnson Sherwin’s Unity: An Impartial Report is the strongest piece in Focus, detailing a shipboard murder and the crew’s forced unity. The narrator’s impartial stance collapses as the story reaches its horrific end, while other Focus prose suffers from dry style and stale themes. The Emigrants by Francis Ellen Deutsch stands out among the poetry, though much of the rest is uninspired.
