XXVII, No. 9 Held. to Discuss Permission ‘for Overnight Visits Suggested by Self-Gov Goodhart _ Auditorium, Wednes- day, November 20.—A mass meet- ing of the Self-Government Asso-| ciation conducted by Virginia Nich- ols was held to discuss the question of weekend permissions. A resolu- tion was passed to the effect that the Self-Government Board would draw up a paragraph of interpre- tation of the word “chaperon” and apply it to the rules concerning permission as they now stand, ‘and that next year the present rules would be altered to read that per- mission must be gotten for any un- | chaperoned visits. The halls will , vote separately concerning this res- olution. The discussion concerned the Self-government board’s suggestion that the new rule read: A student must have special permission for any over night absence from col- lege unles} she is staying with a member of) her family. Virginia Nichols stressed the fact that the main purpose of this rule would be to make the person think twice about the suitability of the ar- rangements, and in the event that Continued on Page Four Swing Your Partner On Saturday evening, from eight until eleven, there will be a Square Dance in the Gym, for the benefit of the Bryn Mawr Summer Camp.

We commissioned a member. of Mr. Weiss’ first year philosophy class, who was writing a paper on A Comparison of Parmenides and Heracleitus, to act as the. control element, stripped her of her biblio- graphy and mailed it off to Student Services, Ltd., with an order for a paper on the same subject. The victim with a paper due spent a week quailing at the prospect of competition from Phd.’s, L. L. D.’s and doctors of Arts of Tearing off Themes. Other agents of ours were, mean- while, carrying on a secretive cor- respondence with Services Ltd. First we wrote and explained that it was “very important that this paper receive a good mark.” Their reply jacked the price with “We should like to point out that the charge for a paper requiring re- search material is higher than that for a paper consisting of mere opinion.” A_ post-seript added, “You may be assured that. such a paper would receive the very best criticisms, an excellent mark.” After the necessary confirma- tions by telegram, the manuscript arrived special delivery and _ post- marked two-thirty A.

The classes of 1914-18 made chol- era bands, nightshirts and bed jackets, and rolled bandages en- thusiastically, while 1940-41 reel out quantities of “sea boots” and particularly lean toward scarfs of fabulous length.

The girls also worried about the possibility of brothers and other male interests going off for mili- tary training. First aid courses boasted large enrollment, and the importance of women, a much ‘more radical thought in those days, was stressed. Poor Big May Day had a similar death struggle, and 1916 as well as 1940 graduated without seeing it. Later on, of course, as the United States entered the war, the squeez- ing became even tighter.

It is hardly possible to praise Miss Traubel highly enough, for it is a rare privilege to hear a voice of such extraordinary power and _ reson- ance, combining technical skill with a deep feeling for dramatic ex- pression, Miss Traubel’s mastery of the soprano range was such that her high notes were equally as warm and clear as her low notes, and every tone was full of beauty. Only an artist of unique ability could render an_ intellectual and emotional interpretation of such di- verse composers in Miss Traubel’s inspiring fashion. The soprano sang difficult excerpts from Wag- ner with the same ease that she displayed in simple Folk-Songs such as Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. The first selections on the pro- gram were three songs by Beet- hoven. The pomp of Gottes Macht und Versehung, effected by the massive tones, was contrasted by the more gentle and quiet charac- ter of Wonne der Wehmuth and Continued on Page Six © Art News Mr. J. C.

Meigs Reviews Fall Issue of Lantern:. of Decadence Obsolete Especially contributed by Miss Mary Meigs Since the fall issue of the Lan- tern emerged from its chrysalis last week, one or two literati con- nected with it have asked anxiously whether I thought it was decadent. If it is any comfort to them, I might say that the Lantern stop- ped being decadent at least a year ago; that one can no longer dis- miss it with a single satisfying ad- jective. What we used to mean by ealling it decadent, I hardly know; most of the stories in 1938 and 1939 had a pessimistic ethical out- look, some of the poetry was sinis- ter in its obscurity. At any rate, the Lantern was one-sided; it had a morbid bias towards gloom. Olivia Kahn in her editorial seems to feel that the Lantern is still one-sided. Humorous writing hhas been ‘neglected, she says. As I grope about in the mists of mem- ory, I can remember reviewing the last Lantern (Commencement, 1940), so I have a good basis for odious comparisons. There was a humorous story in it by Isota Tuck- ous style by Florence Newman. them; they were, in short, true to life. Hence, they disproved to some extent Miss Kahn’s rigid classification of Lantern material in “the serious mode.” What great novelist ever wrote entirely in the serious mode? If the Lantern was one-sided it was not merely because it failed to balance its serious bill of fare with humorous entrées, but because its editors thought in cate- gori morous. If Miss Kahn really means, let’s have a few satires, she ought to come right out and say so, and then ing- humor up in a neat “Separate package. Instead she implies that the reader must in every case either smile or weep, forgetting ‘that in a single case, he can smile and weep alternately, or weep through his laughter or — smile through his tears. But I .chiefly disagree with Miss Kahn’s state- ment that it is “harder to force the reader to smile than to weep.” The reader who smiles at the New Yorker is not going to be tricked ‘into weeping over “portions. of True Story or Cosmepolitan;” if Continues on Page Thres terms of serious. vs.—hu-- she would be better justified in ty- ae ¢ “MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. —The—Great« MeGinty,— Mae West and W.

We maintain that a middle position is tenable, although: in this editorial we are not advocating a particular stand. Those in the middle position that nothing justifies war. do not agree with the Pacifists They also question the assumptions made by those who believe in the immediate necessity of an official state of war. The dubious assumptions include the following: the ability of the United States to provide today armed forces at such a place as will be useful to the British, the only defense line of the United States to _be England; the certain disaster of the American way of life in case of a German victory; the value of a British victory when weighed against the cost of war and the questionable results of English peace terms.

NUTS and BOLTS Bryn Mawr had better get busy, because besides taking lots of men, Vassar is also taking lots of sum- mer jobs. In a recent survey done on the campus, of the number who reported, 50% had summer jobs— an increase of 9% over last year. Two hundred sixty-three girls reported employment, and 142 of them had paying jobs, earning all together $9,932.98. Many of these girls had positions in college shops, offices and camps. Some got room and board free; others had travel- ing expenses paid. Forty of the girls took positions in camps and earned a total of $1,705.80 plus maintenance. They held councilors positions, trained children in swimming, canoeing and dramatics. : All the girls said they received valuable experience, not forgetting that pocket money comes in handy sometimes. * * * Here’s an interesting little bit that might help to make you eligi- ble for Information Please.

By help of the Librarians, the Library reference rooms, cata- logue, etc., and without use of thick keys or mirrors, I have un- events. In 1935, when Ulysses, by James Joyce, was first published in a French edition, the Bryn Mawr Library acquired a copy with some difficulty’ and in defiance of the United States mails. This copy was placed on the shelves. The storms aroused by Ulysses were such that the book had an unholy fascination for intellectuals as well as the curious, and the book was stolen off the shelves, returned once, stolen again, returned, stolen for a third time and gone.. The Li- brary replaced the valuable. first edition with an American edition, and, in order to keep a copy in the Library, kept it on the shelf with the first editions in what was the New Book Room. This shelf was a cupboard which was kept locked, out of respect to the first editions. After two years, the French edi- tion came wandering. back, and as a valuable first edition was clapped into the cupboard with. the other first editions. The second copy which the Library had bought was left with it and anyone* could” see either of them by looking at them through the glass—and even read them by asking Miss Terrien for the magic key. Now a cheap edition of Ulysses is being published which the Li- brary will put on the shelves as an experiment in please-look-but-do- not-touch or would-you-mind-the- ecard. This ought to make every- thing all right for, C. T. unless she has. had her stack privileges - sus- pended.

Walker, British _ Fellow Interviewed; Tells of Ph.D.Work When we have a lot of very in- teresting young women in our it seems a shame to be completely uninformed about them. We have, therefore, decided to interview some of the graduate students and to- day we began on Miss Marjorie -Walters, the holder of. the Rose Sidgwick Memorial Fellowship. This Fellowship is awarded by the British Association of University Women and administered by the American Association with the pur- pose of promoting Anglo-American friendship. Miss Walters came to this coun- try at the end of August on a con- ;voy ship “ which was carrying about 300 refugee children.~ She is writing a series of articles on Francis Bacon, based on work she did while obtaining her M.A. and Ph.D., at Oxford. The books which Bacon read were the subject of her M. A. thesis and the sub- ject of her Ph.D. thesis, the books on rhetoric which he read. “I am trying to footnote Bacon.” She feels that the best way to get a perception of a man or a period is to find out what material there was to work with at the time. When asked how she went about finding out what Bacon read, Miss Walters said that at first she just sat down and read all the books she could lay her hands on that she knew could have been available to him. And finally “you get very cunning at tracing quotations baek from his own works to other books.”” ° Mr. Bacon, himself, did not footnote at all. Miss Walters is at Bryn Mawr. for the first semester doing most of her work at the Shakespeare Folger Library in Washington, and will be at Rad- cliffe the last half of the year, us- ing the facilities of the Harvard library. Miss Walters feels sure that Great Britain will win the war— ‘although it may be a long one. Although she sympathizes very strongly with the French, she feels that the Hoover plan to feed unoc- cupied France would work to Eng- land’s disadvantage: She also be- lieves that it would be impossible for America to get along with a Europe dominated by Hitler, al- though she thinks that America might be able to isolate herself entirely from Europe in that event.

Meyer Tells of Women’s Military Training Course " At McGill OS Tee NEwWs: SUL THE ae At the risk of annoying college ' authorities, I have to admit that spending your junior year “else- where” is a wonderful idea—par- ticularly if you spend it at McGill. Although fundamentally not very different from the alma mater, there are certain superficial dis- tinctions. One minor detail is the fact that “in toto” McGill numbers 3500. But at the moment the war has, of cours€, caused certain in- novations which you wouldn’t find at Bryn Mawr. Not knowing what Canadian un- dergraduate life is like in time of peace, it is hard to make a very accurate contrast. However, there are certain obvious changes. The boys have six hours compulsory military training a week. Because of this, “for the duration” all in- tercollegiate sports have been can- celled. For us of the fairer sex . there is a somewhat similar ar- rangement. We have two hours of first aid a week in which we learn how. to apply various intricate bandages. The award for our la- bors is a St. John’s Ambulance Corps certificate. Besides this we learn how to march. I guess that’s Button, Button, Who's Got the Button?

There is one other factor that unsettles our ‘placid college life. The campus football field is used . quite regularly by the Black Watch for drilling. Usually they do their | kilt-swinging at night, but I have come out of class sometimes and been unable to get by the marching troops. Sunday is real parade day and on special occasions this in- cludes tanks, camouflaged trucks, __ete..—but there are always _bag- pipes in the band.’ There has been one time when I really wished I was “in the States.” Of course I mean during Willkie’s “crusade.” However, I had plenty of opportunity to put in my two cents up here. I’ve been fighting for Willkie in solitary glory, be- cause Canadians are unanimously for Roosevelt. The feeling is that, though Willkie is a good man, at this crisis in world history we should not change horses, particu- larly as Roosevelt has shown him- self to be so decidedly pro-British. They confess that their reasons are purely selfish, but they feel that the two months between election day and the inauguration would be invaluable time lost. Also the probable disruption. in diplomatic relations resulting from a change of administration has weighed heavily in Roosevelt’s favor. Well, it’s all over, and at least some- body’s happy. ‘Sincerely, -+______Janet- Moyer, "42, ‘suicide is extraordinary for such a small boy. Up to the end, all Ste- phen’s— reactions -are -psychologi-+ cally sound, simple and childish, and then there is sudden complex- ity which I think is inconsistent. Otherwise, the story is beautifully handled, the details are chosen as meticulously as they would be in a well-directed play. Of the stories, Miss Lewis’ cer- tainly is the most finished. The ptaria Theresa Dollar by Joanne | Loewe, moving along at a restrain- ‘ed narrative tempo, fails to reach a dramatic climax in spite of Miss | Loewe’s excellent descriptions of picturesque Jibuti. For some rea- son, neither Messy nor Mansard ‘nor the American business men ‘seem like real people and the suc- cess of Messy, at the expense of the business men, seems merely to be an interesting economic phe- nomenon without any profound hu- man significance. On the. other hand, Nostalgia for Italy, without having any fictional pretensions, has local color and human signifi- cance, too. , In the simplest lan- guage, Ruth Ffesel revives the sweetly humorous memories that are typical of childhood, yet hap- pen here to stand in ironic contrast to the present. If I consider the three other stories in somewhat less detail, it is simply because they offer less grounds for controversy. Passing Red is vaguely reminiscent of Steinbeck in its realistic detail, though it is not Margaret Hunter’s fault that a jackrabbit ran in front of the Joad’s car, too. Steinbeck hasn’t got a monopoly on jackrab- bits, or on realistic detail either, and some of Miss Hunter’s details are remarkably good and quite ori- ginal. ‘I can’t say the same for And the Dreams Were Gone For- ever by Dorcas Dunklee, who seems to have placed her heroine on the horns of a rather time-worn dilem- ma. As another member of the English department said after reading this story, “Oh, dear, why do they always have to look at themselves in the mirror?” (And by the way, Du, Dubon, Dubonnet, Mrs. Martin Helder!) The third story, by Carlotta Taylor, is, brief- ly, delightfully ingenuous, and hu- morous without straining at all after humor. As usual I have left the poetry till the end because it is so difficult to criticize. Dorothy Counselman’s two poems have a pervading emo- tional intensity that is little short of disturbing. In the Lyric to a Most Lovely Lady.there is a bit too much of the saccharine passion of Tristan for the bourgeois likes_of me. Yet it is not until the last verse that I feel Miss Counselman’s metaphor has swallowed her emo- tion, as Donne’s never does. In her Poem, the metaphors are more suc- cessful and the poem as a whole rings true. As poets, Miss Coun- selman and Virginia Nichols could hardly be in more decided contrast, the one rhythmic and lyrical, and the other dry and matter-of-fact. Captains is a good character study of a certain familiar type of asser- tive man. Some of her effect she has achieved by personifying inani- mate things: the lonely ceilings, the authoritative water. The fact of the matter is that both Miss Counselman and Miss Nichols know how to choose words, though they use them in completely different ways. Unfortunately, Gloria In- gram does not have this happy fac- ulty. If I were feeling captious, I would call The Coming just plain bad; as it is, I’ll content myself with hoping that for Miss Ingram’s sake her poem isn’t strictly autobi- ographical. The other Love Lyric, by Frances Lewis, is clever, but! not quite up to the-standards she: set in her story. , * The editorial board, I see, has pretty much kept out of this issue, as it did in the last, which means that the campus isn’t as unproduc- tive as it used to be in the good old decadent days. Then it was that one would look vainly in the index for extra-editorial board material. Without being too personal, may I be permitted to say that I miss the poetry of Hester Corner and Mar- tha Kent. The Lantern had better start exploiting its own personnel again. the life of Reilly.

The first is a rowdy comedy of some years back; see it if you enjoy slapstick and its reception by a New York audience. The comedy is directed by Margaret Webster ‘who staged Maurice cast is headed by Helen Hayes and ‘Mr. Evans who are supported by a host of lesser stars. You should have a good time at this one even if you feel that Miss Webster’s in- terpretation of the Bard is faulty. Kind Lady opened several weeks ago and was acclaimed as a hair If Ladies in Re- tirement warmed the cockles of your heart, this is very possibly your meat, and even if that excel- lent melodrama left you feeling a bit shaky you might be interested in seeing the fine job Grace George as the kind lady is said to be doing. Life With Father and The Man Who Came. To Dinner are moving into their second year. By this time everyone must have heard a good deal about both of these plays. They are certainly amusing, and Life With. Father has the added advantage of some dramatic struc- ture. ‘Pebacco Road, also, is still ‘with us, though aged considerably. New presentations include Johnny Belinda, with Helen Craig, a three star show, according to Burns Mantle, and one that might well be worth seeing, and Kaufman and Hart’s George Washington BEST. — | Cleaner | Tailor 3 1 Atrdmore — Pa. | -Phone: ARD. 416 wool will keep you a Shakespearean: Evans’ Richard II and Hamlet.

Panama Hattie appears to be a continuation of Dubarry, again with music by Cole Porter, and promises lively entertainment.

Now, it is a hard and fast rule of the News—and of every other pa- per we have ever heard of—that no anonymous letters can be pub- lished. It is not necessary, however, that the writer’s name appear in print. It will suffice if the editor knows the writer’s identity. We put a notice to that effect in last Wednesday’s paper. A follow-up note came the next day: “Sorry, but I won’t tell you who I am. I like me more than my opinions and don’t care to be stoned off ‘the campus. So, I’m afraid that there’s no use your keeping »that letter, if your curiosity com- pels you to know the writer before printing it. Frankly, I ‘think you’re being undemocratic . . . ” It is this last sentence that con- tains the key to the drama of char- acter in the story, for this is the anonymous letter, in part: “The lower class is, no matter how sentimental we want to be- come about it, still the lower class. Its duty is to serve the upper, so that the latter may progress. We have fed labour with ideas of lib- erty which it neither understands nor deserves . . . It should merely be kept quiet and contented so that it may be of sgreatest use to the aristocracy. And it will be con- tented as long as we don’t pity it or fill it with ideas of rights, privi- leges and equality. If there is a genius in this class, who arises by his own merit, the aristocracy will be willing to accept him . . . The duty of the upper class is to keep the lower contented and then to progress in its own way unhind- ered by social problems. If we fol- low such a plan, there will be no unrest, no discontentment on the one hand, and no labour problems on the other.” In the note quoted above, the author says there is no use in our keeping the letter. We would like to return it, if we knew where. Ist Team Deadlocks P. C. C. in Neat Game Tuesday, November 2. es Mawr deadlocked with the Phila- delphia Cricket Club Reds at 3-3. _The scoring was more exciting than any this season, going first in favor of one team and then the other. Bryn Mawr’s defense suc- ceeded well in keeping up with the P. C. C.’s fast forwards, but the more experienced players snapped three goals through them. The Bryn Mavr line clicked extremely well and the game was open and fair with very little muddling. Coming up from the Second Team Scribner, Rambo, Lazo and. Murna- ghan showed a great deal of ability and spirit.

The reader, confronted with a series of forced generalizations, marked it very tolerantly, and for her unknowing contribution to this venture,.we are gratful. For in- stance, Ghostwriter: “Parmenides ended up with a philosophy which does violence to the scientific meth- od and forces us to drag motion in from the outside again through the back door.” And Reader (judiciously crossing out dragging motion through the back door): “forces us to reexam- ine our assumptions” Mr. Weiss read the paper after an explanation and roared.

Since the Self-Government Association is responsible for the credit of the col- lege, the Board feels that some transfer of responsibility must be made. Among the points made in dis- cussing this question, were the dif- ficulty of deciding what is adequate chaperonage and the impossibility of stopping those students who in- tend to do as they wish regardless of any rule. It was claimed how- ever that the majority of mistakes that come up are from a lack of thought, that the asking of per- giving, and that asking for per- mission is not removing any free- dom. Elizabeth Alexander sug- gested that as much responsibility as possible should remain with the individual; and on this principle the new rule was formulated. It was accepted for vote by halls with the qualification that the Self- Government Board would put in an explanatory rule stating what it means by ehaperonage and how the members are expected to con- strue the word.

Last year year I wasa Freshman. Last year when I was a Freshman I was very bashful. I never went to any of the square dances for Freshmen cepted any blind dates. I never went stag to the Hall dances. I never looked up any relations or ifriends of friends with young sons who live in. this part of the coun- try. I had a good time with the girls, Yet I did enjoy the week-ends when I could see on all sides the Bryn Mawr stride competing with a real masculine stride. It was rather novel then to walk into the Hall and embarrass a Senior out of an embrace with her one and only (who, after all, was rather used to the interruption having come here for two or three years now). One could always intelligently discuss the merits and defects of somebody else’s man. Last year, when I was a Fresh- Planetarium: Offers Christmas Program During the month of December, the Fels Planetarium of the Frank- lin Institute is giving a special Chrismas program. The first half of it will be a discussion of signs and portents which have been con- sidered omens of good or evil for thousands of years. This part of the program will include denun- ciation of the superstitions con- cerning halos, rainbows, comets, and eclipses which have aroused terror in the minds of people. in ages past. The second part of the holiday.program will be a dramatic portrayal of the stéry of Christmas with appropriate music and brilli- ant lighting effects, with Haverford boys.

So he came over to look for me and I, peeking around the corner, of a stall, saw him—but he did not recognize me and I was afraid to accost him. I was. wearing blue jeans, a work- shirt and sneakers, and I had been out in the inevitable Bryn Mawr rain, so that my hair vaguely bent at the ends in an unsuccessful at- tempt to curl. Anyway I found a note on my door in the Hall. But I’m a Sophomore this year and I’ve changed. I’ve had a man on campus. I strolled nonchalant- ly with him on Merion green, down Senior row and around the hockey field (where we had a cigarette, of course). In fact I showed him the whole campus. And now how different things are! I walk into the Cloisters and I remember him flipping a cigar- ette into the fountain. I walk into the gym and I remember his quiz- zieal look at the draperies. The hockey field seems a particularly hallowed spot. ; Yes, I’m all for it—whether mine or somebody else’s, let’s have men on the campus! ik, Again the Unusual!

Miss Traubel’s rendition of El- sa’s Traum from Lohengrin brought out the true Wagnerian qualities of her voice. The great volume achieved .in the climaxes was excitingly anticipated by the lower and softer notes. In the singing. of three of Schu- bert’s compositions, Aufenthalt, Wiegenlied and Seligkeit, the ar- tist distinguished each mood with sincerity and depth of feeling. The Wiegenlied particularly enthralled the audience. The delicate texture of the pianissimi and the restraint of shading throughout, emphasized the tender simplicity of the piece. After ably interpreting two songs by Richard Strauss, Ruhe meine Seele and Caecelie, Miss Traubel was called back for two encores, Devotion, by Richard Strauss, and a 17th century folk- song. Miss Traubel continued the reci- tal with Mascagni’s Voi lo sapete from Cavelleria Rusticana. Her powerful projection was accentu- ated by her dramatic expression, and in this as well as in all the other pieces, her surenéss of tone was impeccable. The program was concluded with two Negro Spirituals and three short songs. In Deep River the ar- tist again attained subtle contrast of coloring and a clear, pure pitch.
