Barnard College Student Association releases the semi weekly bulletin dated November 20 1928 as part of undergraduate activities. This issue highlights college news events and student affairs within the Barnard community.
An editorial notes Barnard Hall occupants are converting the smoking room from a plain space to a comfortable lounge with linoleum, bright lamp, curtains, shelves, and planned pillows and paint. Airflow improved by a fan, reducing smoke density and creating a more inviting atmosphere for day students. Additional redecorations include a redecorated athletic room and other small building improvements aimed at student comfort.
A college bulletin discusses library fines and their effectiveness as deterrents. It cites cases of lateness due to injuries and transit delays, arguing fines may punish reasonable delays and suggesting reforms. The new column will describe careers and fields open to graduates.
A combative look at how Antioch College once enforced strict gender segregation under Horace Mann in 1853, with rules on paired walking and chapel seating contrasting with later jazz bans at Cambridge and Danish folk schools visited by Professor Drake of Vassar. The piece notes coeducation roots and shifts in campus culture across eras.
The Registrar announces that programs for the second term must be filed between Tuesday December and Friday December 14. Mandatory meetings on Tuesday December 4 at 1:30 p.m. will inform and distribute elective blanks to Seniors, Juniors, and Transfers with department sessions listed for multiple rooms and groups led by faculty across Barnard Hall and adjacent buildings.
The article notes cigarette butts, empty packets, and burnt matches littering the floor and furniture with a call for residents to maintain the inviting atmosphere. It argues smokers are not inherently more careless and urges habitues to show appreciation for the redecorated studies.
The article notes recommendations focus on mental ability and seriousness of purpose for folk schools. It states entrants must be eighteen and most students range from eighteen to twenty five.
