Jwarthmore Intercollegiate Athletics 1972 a Different Hall Game? Jwarthmore Intercollegiate Athletics 1972 A different hall game? Swarthmore Intercollegiate Athletics'72 A//) 'f<3 "fa //9 ^ Is it winning or how you play the game that counts? “The Cultural Revolution has penetrated the last stronghold of the American myth— the locker room. Young athletes, having scaled new levels of consciousness, now challenge a long-standing article of faith— the belief that competition has intrinsic value. They enter sports in search of particular esthetic experience, essentially personal in nature. They no longer accept the authoritarian structure of sports, nor do they accept the supreme emphasis on winning.” —Bruce C. Ogilvie and Thomas A. Tutko, Psychology Today, October, 1971 No one uses the word “ revolution” to describe intercollegiate athletics at Swarthmore today. But everybody— coaches, athletes, interested faculty and administrators— agrees they are different. “Our locker room became revolutionary a long time ago,” says Professor Thomas Blackburn, familiar with Swarthmore athletics for some ten years. “What is most different 1 Swarthmore Intercollegiate Athletics ’72 today,” he says, “ is that you find few people who are 4 Today's Athletes Tell Why willing to sit out a couple of years on the second team. They Play the Game People who don’t play tend to quit.” 13 The Coaches Speak Out The change may not be sudden, radical, or complete— 17 Women's Liberation in the Locker Room adjectives Webster allies with revolution—but it is 21 Women’s Coaches Say Philosophies Differ noticeable and at times uncomfortable for all involved. 24 The College It is most evident in the team sports, where the popular 28 Class Notes do-your-own-thing philosophy clashes with the necessity for cooperation and discipline. “Swarthmore has a lot Editor: Maralyn Orbison Gillespie ’49 of super egos,” says one student athlete, “and trying to Assistant Editor: Kathryn Bassett ’35 mold them into a team is difficult.” Design Consultant: Robert Wood Change hits hardest in football, of all the team sports, Cover photograph of Mitchell Eil ’73 where playing for pleasure often seems discordant with and other athletic photographs the physical punishment involved.

They don’t dedicate Sports buff Edward Cratsley, acting president, themselves to any one thing as they used to, and as a generalizes that the desire to win is not as acceptable result they are hitting the high spots, one of which is as it once was. Many athletes are as concerned about athletics. They align their priorities differently than we competition in athletics as they are about evaluative used to. They will come to practice and be prompt if it comparisons in the classroom. They want to win but they is convenient. If it is convenient, they will play. Students don’t want to put down somebody else to do it. On the want to do what they want to do when they want to other hand, he has also observed that today when teams do it. Peer criticism used to be a strong factor in keeping play hard and win they are just as pleased or when training rules but today there is very little reprimanding they play hard and lose are just as blue as teams in of one teammate by another. If somebody is now seen the past used to be. breaking training, I don’t think anybody would stand up President Cratsley was also quick to reaffirm that “ the and say, ‘You are out of bounds.’ ” College’s intercollegiate athletic program is sensibly Observers of the Swarthmore sports scene also point out conceived and well integrated into the total educational an intensification of a kind of show-me attitude toward program, encouraging participation by a large percentage coaching and authority that has been a Swarthmore of men and women in a wide variety of sports for an phenomenon for years. “Swarthmore athletes won’t take institution our size. I think it adds a real strength the half-time hollering and screaming from coaches; to the College.” they want a seminar rather than a shouting session.” Dean Edward Skeath ’58, who in 1958 set a record in According to Professor Blackburn, learning is a very the 440 which still stands, comments on individual sports: important dimension of athletics for Swarthmore “Today’s runners seem to take their sport more seriously students. “ When a Swarthmore athlete takes two hours than those of recent years. They run 13,14, and 15 a day to play a sport,” he says, “he wants it to be worth miles a day and think nothing of it. Steve Lubar runs it. If he goes to practice and finds he has to fiddle around twice a day and swims at noontime.” the first half hour, he will start coming a half hour later.” Another former Swarthmore athlete turned administrator, When President Courtney Smith discussed intercollegiate David Walter ’62, assistant dean of admissions, says athletics in 1960 (Alumni Bulletin, October, 1960), SWARTHMORE ALUMNI ISSUE 0CT< ^ he defined the main problem facing the College’s reasons have ditched a team—without sense of athletic program as “ whether we can be both amateur commitment or loyalty to the group, without a sense of and excellent.” He defined an amateur as one who responsibility to others.

  • American Women's Suffrage Movement
    RESOURCE GUIDE: AMERICAN WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT On July 18, 1848, women and men gathered to launch the women’s suffrage movement in the United States at the Seneca Falls Convention, held in Seneca Falls, New York. This struggle would last seven decades, with women gaining the right to vote in 1920. The women’s suffrage movement, also called woman suffrage, gave women the opportunity to express themselves to the general public, which had rarely been done prior. Not all women supported women’s suffrage. Women who opposed suffrage believed that it would take them away from their families and homes, and that women would be tainted by “dirty” politics. In 1909, the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia formed to campaign for women to gain the right to vote in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Founding members included Lila Meade Valentine, who would be elected as the organization’s leader; artists Adele Clarke and Nora Houston; writers Ellen Glasgow and Mary Johnston; and physician Kate Waller Barrett. These women traveled throughout Virginia handing out literature, giving speeches, hosting suffrage teas, and lobbying men and General Assembly members to grant women the right to vote. Following the formation of the Equal Suffrage League, its members decided to become a part of the national suffrage movement by joining the National American Woman Suffrage Association. The Equal Suffrage League of Virginia and National American Woman Suffrage Association members supported the fight for women’s suffrage on a state level, while other suffrage organizations supported a constitutional amendment. While the National American Woman Suffrage Association and its affiliated groups were making progress in their individual states, some suffragists became frustrated by the slow pace of the movement.

    A l^-pound Freshman Orientation Kit and the first letter from home Welcome to Cam p Sw arthm ore “My biggest piece of advice is to have fun this week and make the most of this tremendous opportunity before classes start.” This advice from Sophomore Bob Kuske was the first of many pieces of friendly advice Katherine Harper ’77 was to hear on her first day at Swarthmore. Kathie’s first day as a freshman began shortly after midnight when she boarded the plane to Philadelphia from her hometown of Tempe, Arizona. It was more than 24 hours later before Kathie got to bed in her new home in Wharton. In those 24-plus hours Kathie began the four-day process of getting oriented to her new life. A 77-man freshman orientation committee, composed mostly of sophomores, 1 had been working since last spring to plan activities that would give Kathie and her 342 classmates (the largest freshman class in | the College’s history) a helpful introduction | to the campus and to each other. They met them at the airport and train I station and manned the registration tables ini Parrish, where freshmen picked up a packet I literature they had assembled and their room key. They directed freshmen to their dormitories and helped them with luggage. They gave a tea for freshmen and their parents so they would have a chance to meet President Friend, also beginning his freshm year. Later President Friend addressed the freshman class in the Meeting House and th freshmen returned to their dorms for hall meetings with the upperclass resident assistants.
