Barnard Bulletin, a semi weekly student run college paper, notes publication schedule for the year and aims to serve the Undergraduate Association. The issue date is October 9, 1928, vol 32 no 4.
The Bulletin recounts a 1926 critique of mandatory two hour athletic activity for upperclassmen. It quotes seniors arguing for self regulation and condemns paternal supervision as pernicious while noting existing rules granting some freedom to seniors and ongoing objections from others.
The Barnard campus debates a presidential campaign with Smith and Hoover posters attracting attention. The piece questions where the radicals have gone and calls for broader student participation and more diverse political clubs on campus.
A critical review deconstructs Elmer the Great as a three act sports play with a strong lead but weak ensemble. It lauds the titular performance by Ring Lardner and Walter Huston while condemning stage pacing and excess dialogue. The piece also recounts a humorous visit to Barnard Hall, highlighting student impressions and campus quips.
The program offers seven qualifications that seem strict but prove approachable for average students. It includes physical activity but allows choice and promises a profitable use of off‑hour time. Currently it starts in spring, and extending to year‑round activity would benefit students, even seniors seeking credits for golf, riding, rowing, or games.
The Wigs and Cues club holds a regular meeting in the Club Room on Wednesday October 10 at noon.
In a tongue in cheek farewell piece a writer laments the demise of the Heel-Trap shoe feature at Barnard College. The column recalls the democratic, humorous chaos it created as freshmen and seniors alike hunted for dropped keys and endured its dangers.
