We who clutched at the ivy on the cloister roof, however, were very thank- ful to be there, even if we felt a little like eavesdroppers. | For the ‘setting, with its suggestion of the monastery, ‘and the silent, almost secret entrance of the Freshmen, would have impressed even the least solemn, Possibly the moment of highest sus- , pense came during the raising and lowering of the senior lanterns, which preceded the of “Pallas Athene,” and as the procession _green-lantern bearers entered the clois- ee opening of ters, one ak Sie stad that an “echo cannot be avoided.

The final “Pallas” was sung ina mass, after the Sophomores had fled ‘into the corner like wind sweeping across the grass. It was under the direction of Miss Gallaudet, who had also coached it, a very nice piece of work, with solidari a and vibrancy of tone, and expressi It was a satis= fying ietucurehattoe of the hymn; which, however, despite its beauty we have never liked so well as “Sophias.” And this the Freshmen really sang well; their tone was full, there were. no discordant voices, and they kept on key, except at the very end, and there the fault lay with the Juniors. Had they not continued swinging for still another repetition, there would not have been that discordant trailing off of ‘voices. At any rate, the moment at which the song should end should have been arranged beforehand. It may. be that “Sophias” —Mr. Wil- “loughby is responsible for the “excellent harmonization—is easier to sing than “Pallas,” but the reason for its better interpretation seems, also to lie in the fact that the=Freshmen take Lantern Night more seriously than the Soph- omores. All the drilling—by -Mr. Wil- loughby and this year Miss Wood— keys them up to a high pitch of expectancy. May Day Discussed ‘by College Council A meeting of the Pcltems Council was held*on Monday, October 12. The decisions reached are,as follows: Big May Day will be held as de- cided by the juniors last spring.

French Grad Sees ‘Solid Culture’ in Our Students It is always difficult for the under- graduate to become acquainted with the graduate students, apparently due to the awe with which we behold their A.B.’s. However, an interview with Germaine Bree, the French foreign student, reassures us quite convinc- ingly that they are not “blue stock- ings” and that they are very much interested in us. , Germaine comes from studying at the Sorbonne, France, where there are At Keio the study. of| “jmportantpartof—the: Senior Elections The Senior class, in elections held-last Wednesday, @hose the following officers: President, Josephine Graton.

Chapel itself is a*means of communi- cation between Miss Park, Mrs. Man- ning, Miss Ward and the student body and it has been decided that its regu- larity is an advisable thing; there will, therefore, be a regular Tuesday morn- ing chapel each week unless due notice is given and there may be additional chapel at any time during the rest of the week.. Of course it is possible for President Park and Mrs. Manning and Miss Ward to say what they have sentative of the News and thus bring the material before the student body but it is more advisable» to have the personal understanding gained by di- rect communication. Things are apt to be complex unless you hear them directly from their source. The col- lege offices can be more sure that their plans are moving forward when there no dormitories and no “college life.”| js direct corimunication with the Classes contain about 150 students] students.

The war- den knows all the general rules and regulations of Bryn Mawr-and when a new-plan-is-to- be-adopted it.is always talked over with the wardens so that they may be centers of information.

Mrs. Helen Taft Manning was one of the spokesmen. for the group of Peace and Freedom which pfesented to President Hoover a petition for ‘total and universal disarmament” as a pre- liminary to its presentation to the Geneva Conference. Miss Jane Ad- dams, who is head ofthe- International organization; Miss Catherine Deve- reaux Blake, who was one of the speakers for the Peace Caravan on its appearance at Bryn Mawr, and Miss Mabel Vernon, another member of the Peace Caravan, also addressed the President in this demonstration for dis- armament, which began in California on June 21,-and-came toa temporary halt in the East Room of-the White House at 12:30 last Saturday. Miss Addams told in an _ informal way what the organization had ac- complished in other countries in its attempt to bring public opinion to a head before the Geneva meeting. Mrs. William Hull, head the national organization, then read the petition and presented it formally to. the President. Mrs. Manning. enumerated the reasons why this seemed a favorable moment for disarmament, and emphasized the importance for the cause of disarma~ ment of the President's lead. Miss Blake and Miss Vernon, who were with the Peace Caravan on its entire journey ‘across. the country, related a few of their experiences. All of the speakers praised Mr. Hoover for what he had already done to further their cause. Mr. of Hoover responded briefly but with’ deep feeling, thanking the peti- tioners for their efforts to mobilize public—opinion..._He said he believed that the statesmen all countries were sincere in wanting disarmament but in this democratic age they wer dependent public Mr: Hoover is acting asycustodian of the petitions, which represent every State, until they are carried to Geneva by’a member ofthe League.

This group of women has come across the country from Los Angeles to present to Presi- “disarma-_ ment, total and universal.” On their way across the continent they have stopped to explain the need of dis- armament and: to add names to their petition: Mrs. Richards greeted the college, saying that the work of rescuing the world from the mess that has been’ made of it lies on our shoulders. In Pottsville, where: Mrs. Richards lives, the coal mines run two days out of the week; met! leave their starving families or commit suicide; women do all the work they can find; produce is -rotting on the farms and no one can afford to buy. it. In the meantime the govern- ment spends 78 cents out of every dollar on the army and the navy. At Bryn Mawr we can see nothing of the terrible conditions but those who grad- ifate this year will be going into a hard world. The Peace Caravan is the re- sult of desire for peace not only~in America but over all the world. They wanted a demonstration before ‘the Disarmament Cénference of 1932, and they have had a triumphant progress through the If every would fill his or her mind with the idea peace, public. opinion would be swayed to bring about disarmament.

The wisdom of democracy has been in question for some time. In the resolution ‘of the election: problems which will arise at college during the next few weeks and throughout the country during the coming year, an answer will. be found for the democracy-challengers. Tithe: national campaign, the result will probably be too much influenced by party slogans and interests..There_is not, however, much party material at hand to help in deciding college elections. Platforms have very little significance in class offices—the most important factor is generally the relative popu- larity of the candidates. Although some positions do call primarily for those characteristics which lead to popularity, there are others in which such qualities are not essential. The ‘needs of the office must be: considered first. A girl may be required who can organize, who carries responsibility well, who has busi- ness ability, who has social graces. If the requirements of the office are thoroughly understood by the voter. the possibility of a mistaken choice becomes correspondingly less. Complete discussion of the a¢complish- ments and potentialities of the nominees is the next essential step—the _-nuimber-of-a-candidate’sfriends-is no-index of her ability to fill_a certain position. Unfortunately, even after these two measures have been taken, there may be a few who still base their choice on the respect in which they hold popularity. This is a-form of hero-worship which probably cannot be checked even in a small community. The only alternative to a wise and considered election is appointeeism. Where the community is in- ‘capable of selecting a responsible officeholder, the appointing power is necessary and desirable. In a college group which has been officially chosen because of its intellectual. potentialities, offices to be filled by appointment would -be a sad and undemocratic commentary. — ‘way, however, the class and college offices must be held efficiently. It is in the hands of the voters to determine. whether the election method is best. _.. Do We Care? We wonder how many of the News readers may have seen Harold J. Laski’s article in the July Harper's entitled “Why Don’t Your Young Men Care?” and.were struck, as we were, by the extreme aptness of his remarks. Doubtless, we are somewhat bold in presuming to apply some of these remarks to “our young women,” but, in this day of skirted sav- ereignty, we may be forgiven our enthusiasm. First, be it known, by no means are we sounding a clarion call to don the garb of a politician and sally forth to the fray. Nor do we de- sire to arouse an interest in politics academically, interesting and vital . though the subject may be. Mr. Laski definitely. brings out as his thesis that we are. sufficiently interested in the academic problem, but only slightly in the immediate and pressing issue; that is, the undergraduate “studies politics as he studies biology, or the fine arts, or the elements of enact. erie 7 He is right in saying that we gibe at our institutions and-our leaders and do nothing to improve them. Referring to the somewhat moribund Liberal Clubs found in many of our universities, he compares them with -the many and robust English student groups. “IT look back,” he writes, to the vivid life of the political clubs in English universities, their meet- ings, their discussion groups, their vivid pamphlets, their eager concern about the next step in political action.” They are not, one gathers, solely’ radical bodies, but “clubs” based on the British parties, and probably all intervening shades of opinion, meeting real questions in miniature Par- liamentary debates, making themselves familiar .with those matters on ~ which thinking people wish to be informed. Ns ee -Our-“cynicism” will, no doubt, go so far as to raise the question, “What can we avail by getting-overheated over matters about which we know practically nothing, and who cares to listen anyway?” Obviously, no one is going to listen to us now, nor will we lay Congress prostrate on the floor of the Capitol, but the effort is commendable’ and presumably, efficacious results will, in due time, appear. Certainly, the question is up to us, if not to solve, at least to help in arriving at its solution. The Presidential campaign is relatively near at hand, and it is not too early to make a start in watching and studying the situation. That Bryn Mawr undergraduates have evinced as imme- diate an interest in politics as we have we owe largely to Dr. Fenwick’s Current Events lectures. Let us take advantage of our numerous oppor- tunities, many of which we will not have again, and realize that, after a college education, we are “charged with high civic obligations we must seek at all costs to fulfill.” a In some |- Pe Shubert: Ilse Maryenga in the inter- final. week.

We were inspired anew to cleanliness, but our dreams of marble baths with sunken tubs and mirrored walls went gurgling down the drain when we found that the new pipes carried not only the clear waters of the mountain streams, but in addition a large part of the. mountainside itself. When sitting in the tub we were vaguely ‘reminded of the feel of sand* on the beach, so we shut our eyes and dreamed it was summer again, until we were wakened by the plumber’s knock and apologetic blow of the nose—for each bathroom..in. Pembroke has its own ever- ready plumber who lives, we suspect, in the closet With the mops.

First Musical Service Draws Large Audience The first musical service of the year was held last Sunday evening and was welcomed by a large audience. It is ‘not often that oné has the combination of so fine a program and such splendid interpretation. -As a matter of fact, one usually has to go to Bethlehem to hear Bach chorales. The choir’s ren- dition of “Now All the Woods Are Sleeping’ was perhaps the climax spot on the program; the singers, in re- sponse to Mr. Willoughby’s conduct- ing, showed great sensitivity to cli- mactic values, Here, as_in Mozart's “Ave Verum,” the tone was nearly flawless. There was a slight lack of precision of attack in “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,” which, however, was compensated by the sure-footedness of “Where’er You Walk.” Mr. Willoughby’s organ selections offered. great variety, ranging from sixteenth to~-twentieth— century com- posers. His five Bach numbers, in- cluding the very difficult “Toccata and Fugue in D Minor,” were played with his usual skill and fine feeling for mood, as, for example, the reflective eh rut’ gu. dir.” The program was as follows: Organ—‘Prelude in G Major”....,.Bach Chorale Preludes— “Ich ruf’ zu dir, Herr Jesu.

To the Editor of the Cottece News: - The Week-end Book Service, ~collec- tively and personally, was most surprised and pleased to find itself on the editorial page of the CorteceE News. It/‘is a dis- tinctly enjoyable sensation to. find myself remembered in the old haunts. However, I am sorry to have to dis- appoint the News in its high opinion of me, because I never did reach the ex- alted state of editor. Cornelia Rose was editor in 1928, and I was copy editor. To balance this lack of glory, on the other hand, the News can claim credit for Caroline Smith, who was also on Editorial Board in -1928.

The the characters of the leading figures: Max controversy centers about von Ulm, erstwhile Viennese nobleman, aviator, roue, and cowherd; and the Grafin Nathalie, the young countess of the district in which: the novel is set. Max, perhaps the more unusual of the two, is a personality of °tre- mendous force; profoundly honest with ~himself,-but- with’ no~ other; paradox- ically weak and strong, kind and cruel, free and base; always both intelligent and intuitive; an athlete of superb con- trol, he has none in his personal life; he is defeated at every turn by a dogged fate, fails in everything, ruins every lovely thing he touches, and yet has about him an austere dignity that carries with it a great fascination. Nathalie is less of a tragic figure than Max, for where he wrestles with hope- less problems and fails by his own weakness, Nathalie has usually but one path before her and is brought to her terrible death through the failings of others. She also is a splendid athlete, infinitely more. consistent than* Max; supremely controlled, poised, and clear- headed. Her. defiance of convention, reckless. sacrifice, and passionate loy- alty~fit perfectly together, and make her;-in-contrast“to-Max,-an-arrestingly complete and .integril personality. Whatever may be sajd of her lover, no one could fail to admire, if not adore; this gallant, sincere and capti- vating- woman. ‘ The plot is formed by the struggles of these two to escape and overcome all the obstacles to their deeply pas- sionate but ill-starred loye. The ob- stacles are Max’s wife, his poverty and consequent degraded condition, Natha- lie’s family, and, above all, Max’s weak- ness and baseness. The situation be- comes hopelessly complex and difficult, until at last Nathalie finds a terrible but final way out, leaving Max, crushed and broken hy her death, to fall back into the abyss from which she had so nearly lifted’ hini. : : A: word about minor. characters and setting. Figures like the pathetic little Tante Gusta, the grand old Cardinal, the degenerate young Graf, Max’s baf- fling wife’ Lili, and Maur-Andel, the Tyrolian peasant, are done exquisitely, briefly, and unforgetably. One has the feeling that if Max and Nathalie were not there to be dealt with, anyone of the others would be adequate as a central figure. The setting, both in the natural beauty of the surroundings, and the interesting populace, is charming and unusual. The style, insight and sincerity of the author command the admiration of all, and the sympathy of many. It seems almost too obvious to add that we are among the latter group.

GOLLEGE NEWS Shakespearian Repertory ‘Coming to Philadelphia Beginning on Monday, October 19, the Stratford-on-Avon Festival Com- pany will in Shakespearian repertory at the Broad Street Theatre Philadelphia. now this company, under the board of Me- Stratford-on-Avon, appear in For several years governors of the Shakespeare Theatre, have come to Philadelphia with their morial productions. of Shakesperian drama, As the permanent organization is suc- ceeding so well in England and as the people of the United States and Canada have heretofore responded so generously. to their touring troupes, the A are sending representa- tives again this year with a repertoire of nine. plays. presented are: “King Lear,” ‘The Taming of the Shrew,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” «ks You, Like It” and “Ywelfth. Night.” The following is a atien from the pamphlet issued by the Stratford-on-Avon Com- pany to its patrons: “In interpreting and revealing the plays the director’s foremost aims are for clean. enunciation of the lines; almost instant changes of scene; ac- curacy to the period in costume and manner; beauty and illusigp in, scenic display and fitness to the time and ac- tion in musical accompaniment. The forenost dramatic critics in England and America have eredited the organi- zation with. complete success. in .carry- ing out these ambitious intentions and no less an authority than Sir Edward Elgar has voiced his high approval,.of the arrangement of the music, ‘To these attributes of the Stratford-upon- —Avon—Cempany—may—be-laid_the abid-| ing popularity of the organization at its home theatre and the gratifying success that it has achiev ed abroad.” We are sure that anyone who has seen these renderings of Shakespearian plays will join with the News in rec- ommending them as a good and en-/ lightening evening’s: entertainment. A few years ago Sir Archibald Flower, the chairman of the board of directors of the company, cante to college and lectured in one of the English classes; since: that time the ‘undergraduates have been enthusiastic patrons of the players’: performances in Philadelphia. Theatre Review Lean Harvest, with Leslie Banks, the current presentation of the Walnut Street’s one hundred and twenty-third and one hundred and twenty-fourth sea- son. The play, we are told, is direct from its London success, and undeniably it keeps one entertained for. an evening. The credit, however, is not ‘due to Mr. Ronald Jeans, the ‘author, but to Mr. Banks; no matter how poor a play, one cannot but gather some. enjoyment from For. the play is poor, if a positive term can be applied to something: as nebulous as Lean Har- vest. It belongs to the type-play whose pur- pose is “to express an idea,’ and the theme, a timely one, is money. When the play opéns; Nigel Trent, ambitious son of a modest country family, is on the verge of’marriage. When, however, he » turns down for the hundredth time an offer of a position, in the hope of “some- thing bigger,” his fiancee, a wholesome girl of simple. tastes, breaks the engage- ment, and eventually marries Nigel’s brother, Steen, who scrapes together a living—by writing history books. Nigel goes forth, finds his fortune, ries. From then on, we watch the vicis- situdes of married life.. As a result. of Nigel's absorption in money-making, he and ‘his wife drift apart, she to her night clubs and gay friends (isn’t it always the way?) and he to his office.. He- begins to envy Steen and Anne. But without cause, as Mr. Jeans quickly shows us. For they, victims of poverty, in their own quiet way are just as unhappy; mis- understandings aris¢é between them also, and Steen is at last forced—by his wife’s threat to leave him—to appeal to Nigel » for a job as well as'for money. Mean- ; hi f Nig el's health has been giving Among the plays to be. ‘remains without a single characteristic, is eS, nen and mar- }: but the question is, is it worth making? | connected with an interest in kitchen We are shown that money is the cause | utensils, and was at least very delight- of Marital Distress among rich and poot | ful as a burlesque of herself in the scene of Nigel’s dream. Perhaps the most individual character was Philip Downes (Philip Bruce), the nonchalant wooer of Nigel’s wife, although he too was only a bit of surface drawing. Nigel himself, with the heart and the pockets of gold, was most consistent as a character. When he enteréd, the scene brightened, and the- action seemed quite rapid, so expert is Mr. Banks in playing a line for its full comedy -value, and so crisp is his acting. His portrayal of Nigel’s more serious moments was not less ef- fective; it» the mad scene, for example, alike, but we are offered no_ solution. And we have a right to expect charac- terization of thought, at least, in a play of ideas. It is doubtful, however, if ac- tual characterization can ‘ever be dis- pensed with to. the extent that it is in Lean Harvest: Despite Vera Allen’s efforts, Nigel’s wife, however decorative, either as a type or as an_ individual. Even a master gesture would have helped. | Anne, played by Patricia Calvert, if drawn without any depth, was at least with the assistance of a simple spotlight, he inspired more than a little pity, to say nothing of fear: And there is often but a_hair’s breadth between pathos and bathos when the tone of a whole play is as uncertain as this one’s. The ten scenés, though not aiding a plot already deficient in continuity, were a credit to the producers. The snatch of subway platform and the embossed cor- ner of Nigel’s bedroom could hold their own with any set from a Sophisticated Revue. Moreover, the dizzy study in Nigel’s house provided just the right atmosphere for going mad. Whatever we may have said, the fact remains that we enjoyed Lean Harvest.

After that, the reading of his will hardly comes as a surprise, and the play closes. with the jubilant exclamations of. the beneficiaries, Steen and Anne, and, of course, with the not too subtle intimation of misery ahead.

The team was playing together for the first time, to which the lack of both of- fensive and defensive strength may be attributed.

The most noticeable fault of the second was their inability P to co-operate, caused by lack of confi- dence in themselves and in their asso- ciates. Too often.an individual kept the ball herself instead of passing, and no one seemed to anticipate the next . move; a bad: failing in any team.

COLLEGE NEWS Enthusiasm of Russian “People Is Marked, Says Miss Gertrude Ely Bryn | Mawr Woman Made Trip i in Colbie with Bernard Shaw and Lady Astor; Found People Better Dressed Than a Year Ago. “he training of the Russian people under the Five-year Plan was com- pared to a terrific religious fervor by Miss Gertrude Ely, chairman of the Pennsylvania League of Women Vot- ers, who returned last week from a trip to Russia in company with Ber- nard Shaw, Lord and Lady Astor and other prominent Britons to her home on Merion AVenue, Bryn Mawr. Miss Ely’s visit to Russia, the sec- ond in two years, was prolonged after the return of the Shaw party. Most of the time was spent in Moscow.and Leningrad, visits also being paid to the ‘Lenin Commune, to a prison farm near Moscow and an animal raising farm. “It is most difficult to give an ade- quate or complete picture of Russia,” Miss Ely said, “since the -field in which they are working covers so many lines. Everything, of course, is directed to the advancement of the Fi; 2-Year Plan. - The theatres, movies, newspapers and books are all propaganda agencies for it. And the enthusiasm and co-op- eration of the people is: most striking. “People there often have two or. three jobs and much work is done at night. Public projects are looked upon. as everyone’s duty and mitch volun- teer work is done. In Moscow, for in- ‘stance, they were repairing streets by night.” Miss Ely told of an incident which occurred there one evening about 5:30: ‘Workmen were prying: up cobblestones in the street, preparatory to relaying the. trolley tracks, and girls’ were throwing the stones oneside. One of the girls she discovered spoke German —so-she asked if she might help fora bit. * Assent- was readily given so.,Miss Eiy went to work. “It’s good fui ~~ throwing cobblestones,” she said. “Did you see what you wished to see_or-what_the-Soviet—officials wanted- Quarantine and Course .

JOHN KENDRICK BANGS you to see?” Miss Ely was asked. “Those may have coincided, but I saw what I wanted to see,” was the reply. In a village she revisited she found that an athletie tield had been laid out since last year and that athletics. were being encouraged. The people, she found, were better dressed than a year ago and were demanding more, “even lipsticks,” she added. The Communist party, according to Miss Ely, is small in numbers and is constantly being purged when hun- dreds who are found lacking are thrown out at one time. “It is very arduous belonging to the party,’ she said. “I asked many people, particu- munists. In some cases the answer was yes, but more often the reply, was, ‘No, I’m not a Communist. It’s too difficult’.” The reactions of the Russian people to Shaw were most interesting, Miss Ely said. Everywhere he went the people crowded around him. Even in the factories they surrounded him, ask- ing for his autograph and telling him larly young people, if they were.

Nineteen seventeen’s performance opened with a screen-song addressed to the “pretty babies” of the audience. The first act, a take-off on registration under quarantine, showed Freshmen going through “hot air,’ “hot oil;’ “microscope” and “cold showers” and reappearing with the yellow ticket “purged.” The Freshmen, especially those impersonated by C. Hall in bril- liant orange, and E. Seely in yellow and purple, were recognized at once. Their methods of ‘smuggling mer- chandise from the pike with the aid of ’20’s numerous M. Carey’s, were the features of the second act. THE POINT OF A JEST In attaining the much-desired senior- ity, 1917 has also attained the much- dreaded orals. No amount of dread- ing, fearing, hating can save you. Orals must be taken and ‘passed or taken and failed, but they must be taken. Since this is true, why not take them in the best spirit possible? Thirty-one classes have met the test | and very, few students have failed in the end, but no class has ever shown a healthy sense of humor in regard to - them.. They have all moaned over the campus, trailing lengthy word-lists be- hind them, their disheartened look and pessimistic depressing everyone. by talk. Of course you must study, study hard, but being gloomy and afraid will not help you. Why not display a lit- tle originality, 1917, and start a new fashion in oral taking?) Be gay—at least now and then! If, like Cyrano; you must die with the point of a sword in your hearts, die also like him, with the point of a jest om your lips, Cc Disarmament The League for Industrial Democ- racy has just published an emergency magazine, called ‘Disarm; Disarm!” This aims to be a sweeping, graphic assault on war, on war psychology, on the causes of .war. Not merely nega- tive, Disarm! indicates various ways for affirmative action.
