Barnard College publishes a semi weekly student bulletin for the Undergraduate Association. It is entered as second class matter October 19 1928 at the New York NY post office under the act of March 3 1879.
The piece questions how well candidates for Undergraduate President 1935-1936 are known. It debates whether nominees should publish views on politics or economics, argues most offices are administrative, and suggests fuller publicity or human-interest notes may help voters without turning elections into campaigns.
An undergraduate column invites open debate in the Forum section. Readers are urged to share diverse views while respecting campus norms. The piece notes columns as a space for ideas and civil discourse on student life and governance.
A reader proposes replacing letter grades with a Pass-Fail system to reduce grade pressure and encourage exploration. They advocate teacher comments, alternative scholarship considerations, and term papers over exams to reduce stress. They also urge pre-election candidate forums or published statements to help undergraduates vote more informedly.
A letter from Miriam Roker, chairman of Barnard Political Union, requests that Barnard not be published in the Herald-Tribune February 23 poll edition due to concerns over wording of the question about voting Republican. The letter urges more careful phrasing in future questionnaires and mentions potential misinterpretation by readers.
A letter requests the Bulletin publish brief statements of each college candidate’s views for informed voting. The writer notes many candidates are transfers and may not be personally known to voters and asks for policy positions to aid a wise choice.
The writer lauds Jane Cowl in First Lady as she dominates the Washington stage with charm and wit. Lili Cahill and Irene Hibbard deliver strong rivalry in a tea-table clash that reveals the play’s bite and humanity in a civil service age.
A Chicago column denounces Stephen Gross and Lin S Root's play at the Fulton Theatre as a crude box office venture. It accuses the work of exploiting morbid sexual themes, lacking dramatic merit, and pandering to a sexually repressed public. The critic says the cast and dialogue reveal poor craft and urges a stand against such productions.
