The Barnard Bulletin is issued weekly during the college year by the Students at Barnard College to advance the interests of the Undergraduate Association. It outlines activities and notices for Barnard students and reflects campus governance.
Forum letters on hazing sparked editorial joy and urged more opinions. Readers are advised to study each letter carefully, weigh them against one another, and avoid judging a piece by its opening line or any single signature.
The letters oppose continuing Freshman Rules. Proponents’ worries appear unclear. The anti hazing case centers on stupidity and inappropriateness rather than evil or outrage, arguing hazing is unnecessary. The Barnard aesthetic is highlighted as a relevant factor in the discussion.
The argument that freshmen and sophomores should shape hazing opinions reveals the defense’s fundamental weakness, suggesting a bias toward younger voices over upperclass perspectives.
An editorial piece critiques social hierarchy, arguing for fair treatment of working people. It reflects on class tensions and calls for more equitable policies amid widespread public discourse.
The text notes that upperclassmen bring more objective, valuable opinions to decisions about player participation and roles.
The speaker compares a child eating too much candy to a larger issue. He notes the child enjoys it now though distress may follow, signaling looming consequences from indulgence. The tone hints at caution about overindulgence and its delayed effects.
A final thought urges holding the referendum while public opinion is strong to ensure a fair and conclusive resolution.
The piece questions whether Barnard students engage with college governance, noting low turnout in elections and skepticism about genuine representation. It argues that participation is essential, praises intelligent interest, and provocatively suggests limited-rule governance could be more efficient, urging widespread exercise of privileges.
A reader argues hazing aids freshmen by breaking ice and building class ties at Barnard. The letter contends rituals foster friendly rivalry, note regulations are imperfect but acceptable, and urges seniors to reflect on freshmen experiences before opposing hazing. Frances Banner signs the piece.
Barnacle office invites all girls to try out for the Barnacle business board on Wednesday November 3 at 12 oclock. Candidates should attend the Barnacle office for selection.
A letter to the editor from Barnard College notes mixed views in the Bulletin Forum about abolishing hazings, called Mysteries, arguing they reflect student character and time use. The writer defends the Mysteries as a college tradition and invites further discussion.
Waldo Frank’s critique rails against a poorly written satire at Neighborhood Playhouse as dull and heavy handed. He lauds sharp satire when polished but denounces broad rough strokes that fail to illuminate the Universal Disorder. The piece closes by warning artists that stale theatre risks losing audiences to other venues.
