HE COLLEGE snare ern eer errant sone perenne = VOL. XXII, No. 22 ft Sparkle and Rhythm — Of Spanish Dancer Delights Audience Difficulty in Presenting Solo Dances, Focusitig Interest Easily Overcome AN NOUNCED PROGRAM INTERPRETS DANCES (Especially contributed by Ethel Mann, ’38.) Goodhart, April 25.—With a click of castanets, a stamp of the heel .and a flash of dark eyes, Senora Carola announced the first dance of what proved to be a thoroughly charming and enjoyable program of Spanish and Moorish dances. A dancer who undertakes to present a program of solo dances realizes the difficulties with which she is faced in focusing and holding the attention of an audi- ence. Spanish dancing, with its verve, sparkling color and rhythm, is par- ticularly well suited to overcoming these difficulties. In addition, the unique arrangement of personally an- nounced numbers, to the exclusion of cold, printed programs, immediately brought the audience and performer closer together in a charming inform- ality. Vadim Hrenoff, Gators Carola’s able accompanist, set the mood with a Spanish piano solo. Senora’s first dance, Espagna Mia (a baile de Pre- sentacion, as the traditional formal first dance of a program is called in Spain), was a favorable beginning. Colorfully costumed in red _ velvet, Senora Carola combined admirable castanet and heel technique with such animation and charm that we sat for- ward in our seats, eagerly awaiting more. The clearness of the heel tech- nique was especially evident in the next dance, Farruca Divina, a regular heel dance.in the typical rhythm of Andalusia. Perhaps the least inter- esting, from the standpoint.of move- ment and form, was the next offéring, Mariposa—“like a butterfly and with the flutter.of only a fan she passes—”. In the absence of the definiteness of the heels and the castanets Senora, forced to rely more heavily on sweep- ing movement, was not. so successful. However, she manipulated the fan with charming and graceful dignity and the last flutter after she had dis- appeared behind the curtain induced a delighted ripple of laughter among the spectators. With an eye to the importance of the diversified program, Senora Carola next introduced a monologue, her im- pression of Carmen, which she exe- Continued on Page Four BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1936 Copyright BRYN MAWR COLLEGE NEWS, 1936 =—SSsEE== PRICE 10 CENTS May 16 Set for Date Of. the Spring Dance Morton Baude’s Orchestra to Play; Tickets on Sale May 11 The Dance Committee of the Under- graduate Association wishes to an- nounce that there will be a dance on Saturday, May 16, from 10 p. m, to 2 a. m.

Peace Demonstation Draws Crowd of 300 Pass Resolutions on Reduction of Armaments in U. S. and Nye-Kvale Bill DISCUSS HEARST ORGAN Goodhart, April 22.—Three speak- ers, under the auspices of the Ameri- can Student Union and the Interna- tional Relations Club, addressed an audience of 300 on topics relevant to the Peace Day Demonstration. Reso- lutions were passed concerning the chief purposes of the meeting, the re- duction of armaments in this country, the boycotting, insofar as is possible, of Hearst organs and the passing of the Nye-Kvale bill which would make all R. O. T. C. units voluntary rather than compulsory. A telegram report- ing this action was sent to Represen- tative McSwain. Approximately 40 students signified their willingness to take the Oxford Pledge. Miss Elizabeth Wyckoff, ’36, who conducted the assembly, introduced the first speaker, Miss Helen Dorio, city secretary of the League against War and Facism. Miss Dorio traced the development of this movement from its start with only 82 delegates in Amsterdam in 19382 to its present day membership of one million persons in the United States alone. Miss '‘Dorio emphasized the urgent need for organized action to combat the forces prompting facism in this country. It is through this agency, Continued on Pa€e Five Research Into Campus Wares Discloses A Market for Anything and Everything Anything and everything from radios right on down to paper flowers seems to find a market on the Bryn Mawr campus. A young lady who would like some extra pocket money, or who feels that she must materially assist in putting herself through col- lege, need only think up some new and fantastic thing to sell and her fortune will doubtless be made. Any undergraduate who has been bitten by the knitting bug will find several fellow students just aching to sell her yarn. Furthermore, if she wants to keep the froduct of her la- bors in the very pink of condition, she need only indulge in a bit of research to unearth someone who”is a vendor of sweater-stretchers. Among the innumerable ready-made clothes that can be procured on the campus, “Freshy Suits” especially strike our fancy. And “since the col- lege miss can’t dress like this”: (a pair of exceedingly undressed hotten- tots is depicted on a poster), there is a certain firm which is willing to remedy the evil by supplying you with lingerie, hosiery and even dresses, for a suitable compensation. Around Christmas time the number of campus ts for this, that and the other thing increases one hundred per cent. Christmas cards of all shapes, sizes and prices are vended from hall to hall. Dr. Grenfell pro- ducts varying from luxurious fur- trimmed parkas to little gadgets that keep one’s window from rattling, are displayed before the admiring (and penniless) undergraduate. More silk stockings and lingerie come on the market; but this time they are en- closed in holly-trimmed boxes bearing the legend “Merry Xmas.” At one time this winter two enter- prising young ladies started an “or- ange-juice route.” At ten. o’clock, when the harried student was begin- ning to feel in dire need of a little sustenance (and, incidentally, before the sandwiches came around) there would be a sharp. knock on her door and a pleasant voice would call out, “Any .orange-juice tonight?” The financial distress of the peddlers was too great to allow them to wait till pay day, and five cents per glass, cash payment, was demanded. Al- though the business has died a natural death, we understand that it was highly ‘profitable while it lasted. Radios, tennis balls, stationary and even trips to Europe and Bermuda, can be procured right here on the Bryn Mawr campus. We begin to wonder why anyone ever walks even as far as the village!

'|Home-Fire Mothers Rally With Torches ‘“‘Lay-ette Before the People” Presented to Vet. at Rally Is Momentous NEW SLOGAN PROFFERED “Be Prepared!” Bryn Mawr went slogan-conscious on Saturday night, as with torches and banners the Home Fire Division of the Veterans of Fu- ture Wars paraded in true political fashion. One of the tenser moments during the rally was foreshadowed by the slogan, “Lay-ette before the peo- ple.’ The Moment? Robert Barnes, Director of Public Relations at the Princeton Chapter, was presented with an assortment of small garments in token of the preparedness of the Bryn Mawr Home Fire Division. Mr. Barnes must have a good deal of sang froid by this time, for last week at Princeton he was the recipient of a live goose,*“Manifest Destiny.” The best slogan of the evening was that offered by . Post-Commander-of-the- South Rushton, who proposed that the V. F. W. should be “First in War, first in Peace, first in the Treasury of their Countrymen.” On. the soap-boxes behind the Home Fire, the speakers: succeeded one an- other and stirred their audience to en- thusiasm. Princeton evidently doubt- ed the spontaneity of our response, for the gentleman kindly indicated to us our duty, by holding up large cards marked variously “Cheer,” “Applause” or “Boo.” John Paul Jones, of Prince- ton, struck the proper academic note by quoting liberally from Shakespeare concerning the “flood tide that leads on to fortune,” and further begged us not to be “as chaff in the wind,” dis- united and purposeless. Miss Ely made the most dramatic gesture of the evening when she sacri- ficed her last coat (Sh-h-h, it was her veteran’s coat!) upon the Home Fire. She declared that a laugh was more effective than anything else, particu- larly in war. The Veterans of Fu- ture Wars should march on to Wash- ington, laughing all the way. A few constructive, if distinctly humorous, suggestions were offered by Helen Fisher, Bryn Mawr, ’37, who believes that Congress has not enough to occupy itself and should be pre- sented with bills’ providing for each future veteran. She would amend the demands of the Home Fire Division for a trip abroad to see the graves of their future veteran sons by add- ing the conditions that the trip should be planned to cover the entire Eu- ropean continent lest any future bat- tlefield or undug grave should be neglected, and that the trip should be “First Class all the way.” The serious side of the question was brought up by the Commander of the Haverford Post, Crosby Lewis, who stated that peace should be the aim of the V. F. W. now. The laughter that has been*created must not be al- lowed to die down.

Miss Meigs Wins Prize In Child Life Contest Fox and Geese, Tale of William Penn, Chosen Out of 1200 New York, April 23. — Cornelia Meigs, famous author of children’s books, was handed a check for $300 this afternoon at the Hotel Chatham, by Marjorie Barrows, Editor of Child Life magazine. Miss Meigs was the winner in the recent Child Life Prize Story Contest, and was guest of honor at a tea given by Miss Barrows and Miss E. Evalyn Grumbine, assistant publisher of Child Life. More than 150 authors, artists, editors, librarians and men and women active in the children’s book world, crowded into the Chatham Town Club to congratu- late Miss Meigs. The prize-winning story, entitled Fox and Geese, won out over 1200 entries from all over America and England and will appear in an early issue of Child Life.

COLLEGE DELEGATION REPORTS ON PEACE Reyburn Plaza, April 22.—A dele- gation of ten students from Bryn Mawr attended a meeting managed by the American Students’ Union, held in conjunction with its Peace Day activities. The purpose of the gath- ering, attended by representatives of Haverford, Pennsylvania University, Temple and other local.colleges, as well as high school students, was to report the nature of meetings already held that morning on their home cam- puses. Miss Sylvia Wright, ’38, was the Bryn Mawr speaker. She discussed the growing intensity of militariza- tion in the United States and student responsibility in disarmament plans. Issues of particular.importance to peace were discussed. The body passed a vote of approval of the Ox- ford Pledge. The pledge states, “I will not support the United States in any war which it undertakes.” rece Self Government, Undergrad Heads- Are: Inaugurated ~ Retiring Officers Give Report On Entertainment; Finance, Rules for ’35-’36 UNDERGRAD ACCOUNTS ARE $733.23 TO GOOD Goodhart, April 28.—The officers for the coming year of the Self Gov- ernment and Undergraduate Associ- ations were inaugurated today at a mass meeting of the undergraduate body, and the reports of both associ- ations for the past year were read and approved. To the retiring offi- cers, Marian Bridgman and Eleanor Fabyan, a vote of thanks was given for their excellent service in a diffi- cult time. Marian Bridgman, the president of Self Government, opened the meeting with an official report of the activities of the association under her admin- istration. In the fall, she said, it had been necessary to expel one girl from college and to suspend another because of their breaking certain rules while away from the campus on week-ends. For the fault of forgetting to sign out before rushing off to amuse them- selves, eight students have been cam- pused in the course of the year, and two have been punished for returning late from week-ends without notifying their warden. These two climbed into their hall through a window, but un- fortunately climbed directly into the lap of the hall president. Miss Bridgman did not spend her time, however, merely in chastising delinquents. . When Philadelphia re- laxed its Blue Laws, the Self Govern- ment Association likewise removed its ban from Sunday movies, and when it was accused of too much secrecy, it instituted the custom of posting a re- port of its doings at intervals on its bulletin board ih Taylor. To a student who was expelled from college in 1934, it has now, together ~with Miss Park, granted its permission to return. In so doing, it is not establishing any precedent, but is rather reaching a careful decision based on the particu- lar aspects of this case. After concluding her report, Miss Bridgman turned over her authority to her successor, Barbara Colbron, who now took charge of the meeting.

The place of the League at this peculiarly crucial period and _ its methods of operating are to be dis- cussed by Mr. Charles Kenworthy, of Bryn Mawr... Mr. Kenworthy is ex- ceptionally well qualified to treat this subject, as he is a member of the Gen- eral Lawyers’ Committee of the League. Princeton has evidently instituted itself as a favorite source for speak- ers. Mr. Beauvais Duffey, ’36, will describe the organization of the par- ticularly active Princeton chapter. He is chairman of ‘the executive commit- tee of the chapter. The speakers for the University of Pennsylvania are Mr. Dreiser and Mr. Krolleck. Josephine Taggart, ’36, rep- resents Bryn Mawr. All outsiders are urged to attend, particularly those whose views, while not agreeing with those advocated by the League, will evoke discussion. New Art Course An elective course in Graphic Art will be given next year by Dr. Bernheimer: It will cover the history of woodcuts, engrav- ings and etchings to the close of the nineteenth century. The course has been scheduled tenta- tively in Group F (Tuesdays ‘and Fridays at eléven). (Page Two _ THE COLLEGE NEWS THE COLLEGE NEWS (Founded in 1914).

K., MISS DORIO The strain of modern living isn’t be- cause of the machine age or flaming Entered as second-class matter at the Wayne, Pa., Post Office If It Rains With a last gasp for breath the college has this week started down the stretch for May Day. For ten days the campus will resemble a- home for the berserk to anyone who does not fully comprehend its reason, if already it has not shown signs of the same. The last rush to turn a quiet college into a terse compendium of Elizabethan England permits no time wasting. An hour lost in one place can no longer be made up at another. What should have been done in those minutes cannot be done at all. It is imperative that appointments made be kept promptly—that rehearsals move like clockwork. Seldom before, we are told, have the students responded so efficiently to May Day, and seldom have they had more expert direc- tion. The time and patience of these directors is precious, and overtax- ing them with useless queries is the quickest path to a jumbled May Day. Orders and instructions, once given, can be carried out implic-. itly and quickly without undue pestering about what to do next or how to solve a simple difficulty. “It should be possible to rely on the intelligence and initiative of every Bryn Mawrter at all times.” Here is a splendid chance to test an old idea. “If it rains,” is too awesome a thought for anyone; yet the possi- bilities of rain, in view of recent cold weather, are all ‘too -imminent. If it rains, the show goes on—but few realize what this involves. At least 6,000 people will have paid their money to see the biggest thing Bryn Mawr students ever do. Thé removal indoors of the various dances and plays will entail many difficulties, but the prospect must be considered and preparations made accordingly. When it rained in 1928, the spectators went away thrilled with the spirit of the college. If it should happen again, the audience cannot fail to see the best show that we can give under any conditions. Short But Not Snappy! There is a strong individualist feeling among the student body that any outsider looking in upon the campus does so at his or her own risk. Despite the New Yorker, the risk is not great during the winter months, but in the spring the sudden appearance of shorts is a great menace to the beauty of the campus for the visitor. Unfortu- nately, shorts are often the most comfortable garb for warm spring _ days, although some people continue to find cotton dresses and skirts equally cool. If there were no neighbors and no visitors shorts would not be objectionable, but during a spring when there are an unusual number of outsiders crossing’ the campus every day, moderation is advisable. Weekends, particularly with recent and coming festivities, bring a host of visitors whose favorable impressions of the college are scarcely enhanced by the sight of our briefly-clad figures. Despite the official taboo placed upon halters a year ago, they show ominous signs of revival. It is, of course, every individual’s right to dress as she pleases, but discretion in asserting her rights has always been a mark of feminine charm. A mirror can settle any doubtful issue. ¢ Can a Laugh Do It? The rally of the Bryn Mawr Home Fire Division of the Veterans of Future Wars on Saturday night had, despite its clowning, an under- current of seriousness. At the end of the speeches it became apparent that this new organization which has caught up the colleges of the country in a whirlwind of enthusiasm, has a doubtful future ahead of it. It may easily continue the nonsense until it is no longer funny, and die’the death of all popular jokes. On the other hand, it may, as one speaker suggested, turn itself into a serious movement for world peace. Thirdly, the Future Veterans may enlarge their present plat- form and set forth determinedly to “laugh their way to Washington.” This last is undoubtedly the best, but the most difficult path to follow. - To continue the present freshness and at the same time to secure politi- _ eal effectiveness, will try the abilities of the most brilliant leaders and will demand the closest cooperation of local and national chapters. At preseht, with 415 chapters and 35,000 members, this “mad-cap stunt” has become a formidable majority of students. At Bryn Mawr alone one-half of the college are members, and the numbers who have joined since the rally show that they have lost their initial skepticism and have. besome con\jnced of the future success of the organization. youth or any of that kind of fume or fuss, But because such a large number of people feel called upon to spend such a large part of their time being so darned humerous. Look as us for example, sweating and and straining we work ourselves sick quite meekly, So what? So we’ll be faintly amusing in this silly column weekly.

Every under- graduate is urged to give as much time as possible to the completing of properties and costumes in order to avoid a rush at the end of next week. Mrs. ‘von Erffa reports that the fol- lowing things are still to be done on costumes: sandals must be made for the attendants in A Midsummer Night’s Dream; finishing touches are to be put on twenty Harvesters’ cos- tumes; gold lions must be stencilled on the old heralds? costumes and on two new heralds’ costumes; forty-five new yellow tabards for program-sellers, ticket-sellers, etc., must be stenciled (this will be done in the Gymnasium) ; the hats to match the tabards need feathers; the doublets for the guards in the Dream will be re-gilded; ruffs must be made for the stilt-walkers and for the heralds; a wig of pine-cones for the wild man demands the in- genuity of someone; a costume of feathers must be made for Cock in the Masque of the Flowers; thirty-one musicians’ costumes need _ finishing touches; and thirty-two extra coun- try costumes must be made for the program-sellers, ticket-takers, etc., not in tabards. In addition to these things nearly all the costumes need last-min- ute stitches and general finishing. Among the jobs still facing the Property Committee are: construct- ing Titania’s court (work will start Wednesday, April 30); finishing up the wagons; putting gold crests on pennants; making curtains for the Dream; constructing a Greek bench; numbering the grandstand; arranging the stage and Gymnasium for: emer- gency performances in case of rain; retouching the wagons on the day be- fore May Day; planting and wiring evergreens to take the place of screens in The Old Wives’ Tale and the Dream; painting two pairs of stilts; moving logs for Robin Hood; painting wave formations for the wheels of the Deluge wagon; attaching pennants to the buildings; draping the back of the Deluge wagon with brilliantly colored materials; decorating the orchestra- stand in the Cloisters and the band- stand with branches; making a gate for Gammer Gurton; constructing Sacrapant’s cell; and putting proper- ties in location.

DAY PROCESSION ‘TO HAVE 2 NEW OXEN Bryn Mawr is now the proud pos- sessor of two yokes of white oxen for the May Day procession. Through the efforts of Mr. Raymond Fuller, of the Mixter Farm at Shrewsbury, Mas- sachusetts, from which the first yoke was obtained, a second pair. was found at Tunbridge, Vermont. The two yokes. are almost perfectly matched, both being clear white Holsteins of approximately the same size. They are beautifully trained and on May Day will be in show condition with their horns tipped with brass _ balls, their tails and coats brushed to per- fection, and their hoofs newly shod, oiled and polished. In addition to the all-important oxen, ten riding horses will be rented from Fox’s Riding Academy for Robin Hood. Maid Marian will ride on a snow-white horse which Frances Schaeffer, its owner, will bring from Allentown. ‘Teams of horses will also be used for pulling the wagons. Four lambs to be led by shepherdesses will be supplied by Ellen Scattergood; and Jane Morris, the niece of Ellenor Mor- ris who is in charge of the Animal Committee, will lead her goat in the Masque. Friar Tuck will ‘ride a donkey which belongs to Mary and Sarah Meigs. Falcons and fighting cocks are important additions to the pageant, The Animal Committee has proved very efficient in locating and choosing animals and will be in charge of the care of the animals while they are on campus. A _ special oxen committee has been chosen to assist the animals’ keeper. The oxen will be lodged in state in the Collins’ barn, while the other animals, with the exception of the horses, which will be taken to and fro from the Fox Stables, will be kept at various places on campus. Black Dog May Day Addition A new and sinister character in this year’s May Day will be the Black Dog of Newgate, a “ferocious and famous beastie.” Betty Bryan will take the part of the Black Dog. The Dog will be dressed in a terrifying costume of black fur with a grey stomach adorned with a heart and with snakes coming out of the top of its head.

BASSET RETURNS TO HELP WITH GREENE ia iaiaecciemmenesane’ “If Mrs. Basset comes down an@ tells you to keep in straight lines, you mustn’t mind it, because that is what she’s meant to do,” said Mrs. Collins in introducing the former Miss Bu- chanan to the college. ‘Mrs. Basset, who has the experience of three May Days behind her, has come from Can- ada to help Miss Grant with the danc- ing on-the Greene. In 1924 Mrs. Basset, then Miss Bu- chanan, or “Buck”? as she was known to her fellow students, had the part of William Kemp, a very special Mor- ris dancer, which role is this year being played by Miss Grant. One needs a good supply of wind and en- durance to be a* Morris dancer, and even more to be a special one. Mrs. Basset was well fitted for the part, as she was a famous athlete in her college days, playing on nearly all the college Varsity teams. She did not«know much about danc- ing, nor was she especially interested in it except in connection with the Bryn Mawr May Day. ‘The year she was in May Day was the first year they had Morris Dancing, and Miss Applebee (then the director of the Greene) asked a man to come over from England to direct it. Thus Mrs. Basset got excellent experience and training from her first May Day. After she was graduated from col- lege, Miss Buchanan came back for four years to help Miss Applebee with the general athletic work, as Miss Collier helps Miss Grant. It was then that she organized the “Buccaneers” a famous hockey team composed of Dancing Rehearsals Beginning Thursday, April 30, and continuing throughout all the general Maypole rehearsals of the next week, a fine of five dollars will be imposed for non- attendance.

She was concerned in the 1928 May Day both as Miss Applebee’s assistant in directing the Greene dances, and once more in the role of William Kemp. Before the 1928 May Day, she went to England to summer school in order to brush up on the various other kinds of dances aside from Morris. In 1932 she once again appeared again on the May Day scene. Her former experience ‘with the dancing was of untold assistance to Miss Grant, who was experiencing her first May Day. Keep Off the Grass!!!!

Y. A. Posts 54 HOLD CAMPUS JOBS On March 21 five undergraduates and two graduate students from Bryn Mawr went to Washington to add their endorsement of the Amlie Amer- ican Youth Act to that of some thous- and other students from colleges and high schools in the eastern area. The bill, if passed, would provide a pro- gram for the maintenance. and in- crease of aid given to students during the past year under the National Youth Administration. The Adminis- E: tration, which expires in June, has Hy provided’ jobs paying normal wages x for the work done in both public and private educational institutions 4 throughout-the country. In some cases these jobs have been the sole condition t. n which the students have secured an . cation; in others, as at Bryn Mawr, they have helped students al- ready in college to continue their ze. work there. ‘ ¥ On the Bryn Mawr Campus ap- proximately 54 such jobs are being a held. There has beeti some fluctua- tion in the numbers working as a re- sult of withdrawals from college and inability to carry on additional work, but at the present time 23 graduate students and 31 undergraduates draw regular pay checks under the provi- sions of the Administration. The work* done ranges from the “Care of Swiss Mice with Tumors” to operation of the switchboard when the regular operators are off duty. Three undergraduates work in the Library. Two have been employed in the Alum- nae Office arranging an occupational file from information obtained in a card. questionnaire sent to every grad- uate of the college. The piano play- % ing for regular folk dancing and spe- q cial May Day rehearsals is an N. Y. - A. job. One freshman who is an ex- pert swimmer acts as a life guard during plunge periods. The majority of the work, however, is done in specific gcademic depart- ments.

One chem- istry major has been making slides for the department. The Department of History of Art has been having its photographs catalogued; work on the a preparation of bibliographies has been done in the Department of Social Economy and in other fields. One undergraduate has been taking an in- ventory in the Department of Physics. oe Another has been compiling statistics a for use in the Department of Social a Economy. In addition to the above, students have been employed at one time or another during the year in the ' Departments of Psychology, English, French, Politics, Latin, German and Philosophy. In the graduate school there is less secretarial or assistant work and more independent research carried on in the department in which the stu- Bs. dent is seeking her degree. One grad- uate student in the Department of History has been employed to compile statistics for a general “depression collection.” Another has done research in Syrian Pottery. A candidate for the M. A. degree in the Department a of Education has been making a bibliographical study of “the agres- sive behavior of pre-school children,” a in addition to checking statistical ob- servations and interviewing nursery school directors for case histories.

Home-Fire Mothers Startle B. M. With Torch Parade Continued from Page One ficient and popular body something constructive can be done. Peter Rushton endeared himself to the hearts of his hearers by saying that Princeton had made but one mis- take: they began at Vassar. Besides the classic slogan already mentioned he produced others, assuring us that what is lacking in logic in the arguments of the V. F. W. is supplied by Con- gress. The women in the audience were much encouraged by his pointing out that the duty of the Home Fire girls was to “knit the noble socks of patriotism.” One of the many attacks leveled against the organization is that it is Communist, and so_it is, for as Con- gressman Fuller of Arkansas said (quoted by Mr. Rushton), it will wel- come both Fascists and pacifists. Mr. Barnes—before he received the layette—announced that whereas the United States-Government is one of ‘organized minorities, the V..F. W. is now an organized majority, with some 35,000 members in 412 posts all over the country. He also said that plans are being made for a national conven- tion to be held in the Middle West in July. Another aspect of the question was touched by Laura Musser, ’87, when she expressed the hope that something would be done for the unborn orphans. Mr. Rushton had already spoken of them as being no longer “little strang- ers,” and discussed a way to determine whether or not they were “little men- aces.” [If they are definitely pink in their infancy, it is a féregone conclu- sion that they will be red in later years.] Miss Musser suggested that their maintenance may be provided for by taxes of 300 per cent on certain undesirable objects, such as grapenuts or dirty white shoes. Sparkle and Rhythm Delights Audience Continued from Page Gne ~ cuted to musical accompaniment. The first half of the program ended with Del Rocio. In its gayety, fire and technique"this was probably the most effective dance of this portion of the program. By the opening of the second group of the dances Senora Carola had gained even more confidence and the three dances of this part were con- sistently better and even more appre- ciatively received. Even Mr. Hrenoff seemed to catch this heightened spirit and he played Malaguenas_ so _ skill- fully that the audience demanded an encore. In the. nocturnal, mysterious Fandanguillo Gitano, Senora attained that subtle ripple of body with a quick bob of the head which is so strikingly characteristic of Spanish dancing. The Moorish dance, De la Vega Grana- dina, danced with Chinchinas, small cymbals, on the fingers, was so well received that Senora Carola was forced to repeat it. The flowing move- ment accented by rhythmic contrasts in the Moorish dance was in striking opposition to the short, choppy rhythms of the last number, Alegrias, in which Senora gave her impressions of a fiery bullfight. This also was repeated after much applause. Since most of the dances of Spain range upwards to a dollar. The total payroll for the college in one month ranges from 500 to 550 dollars, ap- proximately 300 dollars going to the graduate school‘and 200 to 250 dollars to the undergraduates. The maximum hours per week that may be worked under the provisions of the Administration are 30; per day, eight. For undergraduates the maximum amount of aid per student in any one month is 20 dollars, pro- vided the monthly average for the en- tire period does not exceed 15 dollars. For graduates during the first year of their study the maximum in any month is 380 dollars provided the average for the entire period does not exceed 25 dollars per month. In the second year and for Post Doctors the maximum is raised to 40 dollars and the average to 30. Time cards stating the hours and fractional parts of hours worked each day are turned in weekly except on the 26th day of each month, the card for the period including the 26th being turned in at the close of that day. The cards are filled out by the student and signed both by him and by the faculty member under whose supervisor his work is being done. They are then handed in to the Ad- ministration supervisor on the campus (Marion Greenbaum, Radnor), who makes out in triplicate a time report for the entire college. This report is signed by the time keeper and by Mr. Hurst, the comptroller of the college, and sent to Harrisburg, the State capital. From Harrisburg a check is sent to the college covering the entire amount due it, and separate paymas- ters for the undergraduate and gradu- ate schools distribute the wages to in- dividual. job holders. Two-thirds of the undergraduates holding N. Y. A: jobs hold either Alumnae Regional or College Scholar- ships. Those who attended private preparatory schools, however, are about equally distributed with those prepared for college in public high schools. As far as it has been possi- ble to ascertain, no undergraduate has come to college solely because it was possible for her to obtain an N. Y. A. job, but a large proportion of those so employed would have found it dif- ficult to remain in college were it not for the financial aid received in this way. tie with a Duflex sole —~ a comfortable, trim ‘and perfect fitting sports shoe.

The design of the movements, where only one dancer is concerned, is limited to the configurations in space which that one body can make. In Spanish dancing, the origin and purpose being erotic, the predominant design is that of the curved line, emphasizing the natural curves of the body. In her compositions Senora Carola achieved some rather interest- ing designs in space. There was no timidity in approaching emotional ma- terial, and Senora Carola combined a sensitiveness for the subtle sparkle of Spain with commendable heel and castanet technique to present a strik- ingly interesting program. Charles Fox Lectures On U.S. Criminal Rate Linking of Politics and Crime Most Important Cause Taylor, Room §, April 22.~—-The ex- tremely high crinie rate of the United States in comparison with that of foreign countries is in large part due to the interrelation of politics and crime and the inefficiency of criminal procedure, the Honorable Charles E. Fox, former assistant district attor- ney of Philadelphia, told the first year politics class. The homicide rate per 100,000 people Was 10 per’ cent in the United States, as compared with the one-half of one per cent in England; the American rate is 30 times that of the Netherlands and three time that of Italy. Two fundamental causes of the dis- graceful slowness of criminal pro- cedure are the let-alone policy of American public opinion—“the maud- lin sympathy for wrong-doing until it comes right into your own front yard’—and the close connection of crime and politics which arises from this. The first two steps in criminal pro- cedure, the police and the magistrates, are usually influenced by ward leaders and committeemen. The magistrates’ courts are particularly corrupt; in Philadelphia, “out of their uncon- trolled and unrecorded acts come 180,- 000 cases touching on the poor and underprivileged.” In the higher courts, the juries are sources of leakages in orderly crim- inal procedure because of tie-ups be- tween jurymen and division leaders. | In many cases the judges are strong politically and would never have been ee COLLEGE SINGERS TO A group of Bryn Mawr singers will leave here Friday on. the 12 o’clock train to New York, where they will broadcast several May Day songs.

Artificial judicial barriers between counties and States, together with the mixed population, help explain the discrepancies between American and European crime rates. Whereas the United States has no one body of law governing interstate crime, European countries usually have one series of criminal statutes covering the entire country.

Mr. Otis _ THE COLLEGE NEWS, Page Five i : Current Events (Gleaned from Dr. Fenwick’s Lecture) Trenton faced an embarrassing situation last week when its unem- ployed marched into the New Jersey State Legislature and decided to pass a bill for relief. The State has been deadlocked over the question of taxes, and the governor claims he*has no fight to pass a taxation bill. Never- theless, the resolution has been voted by the unemployed, and New Jersey is declared to be in a state of insurrec- tion, but the governor has done nothing about it. .The majority of the Puerto Rican population has decided that it would like to be admitted into statehood in order to obtain a-certain degree of self-government and to avoid the high tariff on importations. In reality the island would like to be free, but this would mean a high tariff on its pro- ducts. Senator Tydings is now going to introduce a bill which will place a referendum before the Puerto Ricans on the question of freedom. The question at the present moment is, who are the heirs of Thomas Jeff- erson? He believed in the ability of the people. to govern themselves and to learn by their mistakes. Further- more, he believed in states’ rights as opposed to centralized government. Today the Democrats advocate measures for relief, distribution of wealth and old age pensions, all of which would have been very agree- able to Jefferson. These measures, however, must be carried out by a centralized government which Jeffer- son repudiated. Therefore President Roosevelt never mentioned the famous Republican- Democrat. Instead, his speech resem- bled more. an essay on political econ- omy, the substance of which was that one state can’t be indifferent to thé welfare of the others. The French elections ““Haveonce more put Europe intola state of sus- pen About twenty-five political patties exist in that country, and ap- proximately 4,000 candidates were | running for 4@8 offices.

With Germany and Italy for examples, it is clear that such tendencies, if matured, would tend to produce war. A program to diminish the likeli- hood of war would entail such aims as: measures to curtail the manufac- ture of armaments and means to abolish profit in their manufac- ture in time of war.

Also the exploitation of Latin American countries and the Far East by larger powers should be op- posed. , Mary Dimmock, ’39,. the next speaker, also believed that the reduc- tion of armaments was “the key to world peace.” It is admitted, how- ever, that to define the amount neces- sary to maintain a defense is a diffi- cult question. No arms or ingre- dients useful to war should be shipped to belligerent nations, yet a diffi- culty arises when we come to re- strict all trade with them. It has been invariably demonstrated that, isolation being impossible, a nation who wishes to function as neutral may be inter- preted as acting partially. Therefore the only possible solution would be world harmony, springing from the mutual confidence invoked by a gen- eral redistribution of arms, with a large nation logically setting the ex- ample. Hearst, who started by clapping the little man on the shoulder, has now become an agitator for Facism. His misleading statements to Germany and Great Bvitain during the World War and his later false insinuations to Japan have proved to be most dan- gerous, Eleanor Fabyan, ’36,-declared that she would like to abolish the word “fight” from the language. Like the church which “fought itself out in the inquisitions,” we too are likely to be- come belligerent in our peace making. England is particularly eager for peace. It was there that in 1933 the Oxford, Oath in which 275 men re- fused ever to fight for their country wag originated. It has since found many adherents in this country as well as abroad. In a poll taken in recent years, over eleven million Englishmen. favored the government control of arms, while eight million voted to abide by any economic sanctions im- posed by the League. However, only five million would support the league in a’ military capacity. In America similar polls are con- stantly being ‘conducted by such “or- ganizations as Organized World Peace Ways and the Foreign Policy Asso- ciation. Among the suggestions which Miss.

From such sources as dues, receipts from the previous year, the sale of caps and gowns, the total income for this period was $2358.17, while an ‘expenditure of $1624.94 resulted from the support of certain paid positions for under- graduates, the purchase of caps and gowns, the Library Corporation and other items. In consequence, the bal- ance now stands at $733.23. The balance of the Million Dollar Drive now stands considerably to the better also because of the efforts of the undergraduates. In giving, her report of Undergrad accomplishments, Miss Fabyan stated that the students had given $3300 towards the Anni- versary Fund. Because of the Anni- versary, moreover, in combination with May Day, the regular events of the college year have been somewhat upset. Still, the entertainment: pro- vided for the benefit of the students has not been neglected; rather, it has improved. In accordance with the suggestion of the College Council, the week-ends on the campus have been made more lively by the help of teas in the halls and speakers in the Dean- ery. During the first semester, the Undergraduate Association had a reciprocal relationship with the Dean- ery so that the college could attend the lectures there without charge. In the nn ——_______________ throu second semester, however, this prac- ‘tice was dropped and the association joined with Haverford -in- procuring movies from the Museum of Modern Art. “ On account ‘of Miss Thomas’ death, the dance scheduled to be held in De- cember was postponed until February this year, but it turned out in ‘spite of its difficulties to be a delightful af-. fair. One difficulty remained, though: the fact that it did not meet its ex- penses, and it is hoped that the dance to be given on May sixteenth will help to cover the, deficit left’ by the pre- vious occasion. For a while the idea of giving a dance in cooperation with some other college, such as Haver- ford, was considered, yet it was soon seen that the Gym could never harbor such a horde of revellers, while the Bryn Mawr stags would have a sorry time of it if the Haverford men brought their own girls with them. With the suggestion that many of the practices carried out this year be continued hereafter, especially the de- |} manding of dues that can help to pay for the entertainments provided by the ‘association,-Miss Fabyan brought her report to a close and gave her gavel up to Esther Hardenbergh, the presi- dent of the association for the coming year. Other Worlds The national contest for choosing the twenty books most essential for the well-read. man’s library was won by a student of Syracuse University.

In a soouke poll of the favorite paintings of students of Syracuse. Uni- versity, the works of Americans were preferred to those of painters from foreign countries. However, old mas- terpieces, such as “Sistine Madonna,” by Raphael, and the “Madonna of the Chair,” ‘were voted among the fa- vorites, as were some of. the .works of Reynolds and Whistler.
