FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION . . . It is sometimes said that there are two kinds of salaried Swarthmoreans, those whom it is fun to know and those whom it is prudent to avoid. The faculty, it is said, are fun. They read The New Yorker, play poker, enjoy an occasional beer. They throw parties, even invite students. But the Administration, like evil, like Collection, are to be avoided at all costs. They don't have homesg they don't even have Hrst names. They have offices and titles. They give teas. And, poor souls, not only do they enforce The Rules, but they actually believe in them! And if there is no truth to this picture, there is at least a partial explanation. The explanation is, of course, that our perception is limited. For while we see the Administration only at teas, in Collection, in the Deans' or the President's Oflice, we meet the Faculty in the class room, in their homes, at Mary Lyons. But the reality is that although there are just two areas of encounters, two frameworks, there are not just two kinds of salaried Swarthmoreans. There are as many kinds as there are members.
