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. It is a story of old Philadelphia and William Penn. The judges were Dr. Mabel L.

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).
