Trustees of, PRICE 10 CENTS * Maj jority Approve, Faculty Coordinates Change Suggested For New Schedule Eighty-five Per Cent Want’ Reading Period and Paper Plan In an attempt to determine col- lege sentiment on the proposed changes in the curriculum, the NEWS conducted the following poll: 1. Are you in favor of a sched- ule of two quiz periods, one before Christmas vacation and one be- fore spring vacation; with a two- week reading period in place of mid-yearsand-a—three-hour final exam at the end of the year? 2. Do you think that such a schedule would be applicable to a. your major? b. all-courses? 38. Do.you approve of the a. three-hour final exam? b. two-week . reading period for individual work? c. plan to distribute papers over four specific periods? 4. Do you believe that opening the college year one week earlier would be advantageous? Of the 334 people polled, 200 fa- vored the new plan, and 134 op- posed it. 251 believed it would be applicable to their major, and 81 said it would not. 58 per cent of those polled thought it would be applicable to all courses. 68 per cent approved of the three-hour final exam; 85 per cent approved of the two-week reading period, and 85 per cent approved of the plan to distribute papers over four specific periods. Only 46 per cent wanted an extra week added to the college year. language *ajors favored the pro- posed plan, 68 per cent of the ‘so- cial science majors, and 48 per cent of the science majors. One of the most striking fea- tures of the poll results was that of 19 chemistry majors questioned, 15 were against the new plan. The main objection. to the proposed change was the compressing of the whole year’s work into one final three-hour examination. From comments, it was gathered that Continued on Page Two Defense Committee For Investigations a “| ganized an ‘American Defense ‘Group to coordinate individual de- fense activity.

Weiss Specially Contributed by Mr. Weiss A college literary magazine pro-: vides a unique opportunity for ex- periment and expression. It has no tradition to uphold, no money to make—nothing to hinder it from being alive and fresh, radically honest in spirit and novel in re- sult. Its contributors are at an age where ideals are still precious and clear, and experiences, as old as the ages, have a distinctness which later sophistication blurs. The college magazine ought to be one . of the main centers.of college life, at once reflecting and directing the activities of people at a period of maximum freedom, growth, con- creteness and excitement.

He will lecture Wednesday, April 16, on “Inter-American Relations” as observed during his work in Rio de Janeiro. Mr. Fenwick has recently pub- lished a report on the committee’s procedure in 1939-1940. In this first year, immediate problems of organization and jurisdiction have been settled. Advisory recommen- dations touched on “incidents” af- fecting the neutrality of the Amer- ican States, such as the scuttling of the Graf Spee. Although the committee has laid down some spe- cific rules for enforcement of the security zone, no concrete codifica- tion of a neutrality law has yet been attempted. The practical value of such a code in the present lawless and anarchical war would be negligible. There is no “fu- ture” for neutrality, and no com- promise possible between the rule of force and the rule of law.

And Paper Problems Discussed by Council March 19.—Discussion at the College Council ranged over coordination of cam- pus relief work, plans for defense activity, curriculum problems, pre Freshman Show. hazing and the use of Mayday costumes. It was suggested that reélief | work might be organized under the Bryn Mawr League. Appropria- tions, formerly from the Peace Council budget, would come direct- ly from the Activities Drive. Ex- tra-curricular defense courses, such as first aid, motor mechanics; and a possible statistics laboratory course might also be coordinated with the relief work. Further discussion of defense activity brought forth the sugges- tion of a student organization parallel to the faculty defense group. The next step in the process of reorganizing the schedule of the college year, it was reported, will be to send out a questionnaire to the faculty, in order to get infor- mation on the quiz and paper prob- lems of each course. The possi- bility of limiting the number of papers required of a student was suggested. Each department might take more responsibility for the paper-writing of its majors. Fewer papers and better papers seemed a good idea. An extra week added to the college year in September, with no addition to the content of the year’s courses, was also dis- cussed with general favor. It was felt that the practical joking and general hilarity before Freshman Show had got out of bounds. this year. A mass meet- ing of the Undergraduate Asso- ciation was suggested; at the meeting it will be emphasized that hazing is not a necessary Bryn.

One hundred and five people are expected, including Miss Park, Miss Taylor, the Graduate Committee, and the faculty of the Fellows. Mr. Carpenter will be the main speaker. Mabel Lang and Elizabeth Puck- ett—are—chairmen—of the dinner. The programs are’ printed in the form of round-trip railroad: tickets: place of departure, Bryn Mawr; destination, Bryn Mawr; and the entertainers are renowned. Mrs. Manning and Mr. Crenshaw will. sing “In the Baggage Car Ahead,” and the Sob Sisters will render “Ballades of Good Counsel” in parts. An “Illustrated Lecture on Radnor” is being offered, and a trial oral examination for the de- gree of doctor of philosophy. The Bryn Mawr Public Library Spreads From Twelve Chairs to Memorial Building The first library in the village of Bryn Mawr was started in 1916 with a collection of twenty books and twelve chairs, both wedged into one small room of. a building behind. the present Merionette Diner. Even after such an incon- spicuous beginning, however, the prestige of the library increased rapidly. 1918 was a red letter year —the library moved to a position on the Pike, the Milestone building, | now the Florentine shop. There the first paid librarian was en- gaged. Now there are three li- brarians always on duty. In 1920, the library migrated again, this time to a large room and a por¢h in the War Memorial and Commun- ity House. “When funds dwindled | inthe. early .twenties, support of. High School, which uses the library as a source of information for its students. About the walls are typed reading lists for the various grades. Many personal books have been given to the library, generally second hand copies from family col- lections. Twenty-five or thirty best sellers are presented each June by the local Woman’s Club. A branch, open once a week, is maintained in the Bryn Mawy, hos- pital-for private and, semi-private patiehts. “Not that ward patients: aren’t taken care of.

There is no need to emphasize the importance of maintaining liberal education throughout the uncertain course of.a_ national emergency.

Facts for Defense No longer is the concise statement, ‘We are at-war” a conver- sational or journalistic bombshell. But it is all too clear that our thinking concern- accept the draft. We accept it as easily as we ing this statement has two enemies—if? is molded by emotionalism and it is riddled with lack of factual information. Members of the faculty defense group have taken this problem in hand, and organized a program of research. They are investi- gating relief agencies; they are reading foreign newspapers, they are clipping articles pertaining to defense legislation. They are after facts—facts behind propaganda, and pressure groups, facts of war needs and war methods. A similar program to be undertaken by the students might well be organized. This project need not be in the nature of a propa- gandist agency, or a mere device for coordination of relief work. A permanent research program could be developed which, supple- mented by discussion, might be contributive as well as educational.

We've had fifteen tryouts and they’re all about spring. Someone has seen their first robin some- where; the pale blue under your eyes is changing to a deeper, richer hue; and the anthracite is. bloom- ing in the Lackawanna Valley. People keep pointing to the cro- cuses. The crocuses have been there since Christmas and the cold spell didn’t do them much good anyway. We know that all springs means is a new pair of sneakers and re- quired sports. Out of sixteen springs this is the worst. What we’re fed up with is people lean- ing out of windows in audible ectasies, with being smothered at night because we’re on the side of the hall where the wind never comes. We’re fed up with navy blue, watery sunshine, mud, and obnoxious whistles. We’re fed up with polls too. And we are not going to conduct a poll about whether or not you like spring because at this stage of the game we don’t care. If you dis- cover a tri- bar, whistle - throated crimson cardinal, just keep the fact to yourself, and don’t bother us about it. And if they decide to import an aviary of Portuegese nightingales for a Midsummer Night’s Dream we don’t want to hear about that either. Whether that is the warbling of the robins or the mice nibbling at the wainscoting we can’t be sure, but we’d put our money on the mouse to win any day..{ Our friend, the common earth worm, is ap- pearing now and the biology peo- ple will soon be dissecting repul- sive rabbits. A nightmarish qual- ity envelops our embittered ex- istences, and if anyone offers us a jellybean we may scream. And now that we have ground out this last paragraph we hope that this will finish the subject of the weather, and that goes for any weather, inter, fall, summer, spring, until they have to pass game laws to preserve the spar- rows. lof Modern Book Making.

I know, too, that Pennell Crosby’s “The Times We Had” relates some incidents of school days, but I do not see why it should. Most of these would have been considerably improved had many of the adjectives been cut out, some of the sentences broken up, and simple words occasionally used. But to improve the Lantern as a whole and make it the significant force it. should. be, something else is necessary.

With these words she handed me a pamphlet entitled The Essence of Union Now, by Clar- ence Streit. “I often carry this book with me,” Miss Ely explain- ed, “and when people see it they esting?’, and-in that way the word gets around.” League’s Defects Remedied Miss Ely knew Mr. Streit when he was a New York Times corre- spondent in Geneva during the days of the League of Nations. She says that even then he was evolv- ing his plan for world organiza- tion. She was more than sorry that the United States did not go into the League, and believes that our absence was the League’s greatest weakness. Another weakness was the emphasis placed on the sover- eignty of the states. Both these defects, however, have been rem- edied in the new plan. Because of the experience gained from this first attempt, said Miss Ely, it will be much easier to form a new world organization, Provisions of Union The purpose of Union Now is to form a union*of thosé countries whose people are guaranteed the Bill of Rights. The union would provide for a common citizenship, common defense, free trade, stand- ard currency and common com- munications, but would leave each nation to pursue its own form of government within itself, As it happens, the present de- mocracies which would be likely to be interested in this plan are the ‘United States and Great Britain. Miss Ely emphasized that the pro- posed union is not one of the Eng- lish-speaking nations alone. Be- fore the war there were ten coun- tries suggested as a possible nucle- us, most of which have now been swallowed up by Germany, Immediate Program The only thing that the com- mittee can do now is to discuss the | problem and try to get people ac- tively interested, so that when the time comes for deciding upon con- structing a peace, there will be a determined and informed public to speak for a federal union. Miss Ely thinks that no concrete action © to push it through Congress should be taken now, because it might be- come an issue which would be con- fused and misinterpreted by many people as merely a means to help England win the war. “It’s my own personal hunch,” she said, “for which I have abso- lutely no support, that President Roosevelt may take the lead on the war aims.” The plan for Union Now has met with marked approval from in- fluential and well-known people in both England and the United States. ‘People say that it is im- possiljle,” Miss Ely said, “but I think that it’s a matter of habit, just, like any reform. Like the eight-hour day, for example. Peo- ple would soon get used to the idea of world’ organization and wonder if a little while why it had not been propounded sooner. Most countries Bek up. to. the United States as an ideal sort of govern- ment.

It was a considerable undertaking for young and inexperienced actors, but although the performance was uneven, the experiment proved well worth making. The actors, for the most— part, served as competent vehicles for Shakespeare’s lines, although the play is of such beauty and strength that it could have carried itself with very little help from them. Willard Jarchow as Brutus’ and Paul Ousley as Mark Anthony were Aquabelles dive and kick, gasp and strangle, Strauss and candlelight. circling pool to To the Emperor Waltz.they glid- ed; to the Waltz of ‘the Flowers they crawled. They flashed, dart- especially convincing, playing their parts with admirable restraint. They were at their best in the speeches made over Caesar’s body. Mr. Ousley gave an interesting con- ception of Mark Anthony’s complex character, showing it to be at the ed and dove, kicking the water in fountains. It was all done again with candles, and three times they circled the pool with the subtle lights in their hands. Some par- ticularly elegant creatures dove, soaring out of the dimness. Was same time that of a politician swaying the crowd and of a sincere friend mourning for Caesar. lines too quickly and jerkily, and the pace could have been more’ varied with greater effect. But the rendering of the speeches was, on the whole, satisfying. This standard was not maintain- ed, however, in the gestures, for the actors seemed unable to unify their roles so that the action supported the lines. They continually made small, ineffectual motions their hands; never did they achieve a really powerful gesture. Watch- ing them move, one was always aware that they were college boys, a little ill at ease and unnatural on stage. This. fact was perhaps given an unfortunate emphasis by the modern dress, which made them appear as they would offstage. In. costuming, use of shadows and contrasted lighting, and the: handling of the murmuring and motion of the crowd, the produc- tion was skilfull and effective. It resembled that of the Mercury Theatre, with a Fascist Caesar striking attitudes before black- shirted followers, and Brutus and Cassius conspiring together in busi- suits. Much of the interest of the pro- duction was undoubtedly due to the fascination and power of the play with which Shakespeare had al- ready provided the producers, but the tremendous, overflowing energy which they brought to the perform- ance contributed greatly to its suc- cess. If the overwhelming burst of this energy had been toned down a little, if everything had been slower and smoother, perhaps it could have been a more uniform and coordinated presentation. Joint Musical Service Presented by Choirs) All| the players tended to deliver their | [it a vision? | The Aquacade, actually, was an immense success. The precision of the intricate crossings, the neat- ness of the raft and star forma- tions, the rhythm of the strokes were remarkably reminiscent of the show’s namesake. Out of the bevy of beauty, it was hard to rec- ognize individuals, but the coordin- ation and smoothness of the paired swimming of Natalie Bell, ’43, and Carol Coan, ’48, was outstanding. Athleen Jacobs, ’41, Lucia Hedge, ’44, and Diana Baker, ’44, dove splendidly. Of course, there were occasional stranglings, chortles, and semi- drownings, yet the total effect was so good as to suggest the untold possibilities of light opera on waves. M. Williams Outlines Assets for Librarian Common Room, March 20.—“To be a librarian today,” said Miss with) Mabel Williams, speaking on li- brary work as a profession, “one must be interested in people as well as in books.” She stressed the fact that libraries are no long- perfectly blended. The entrances of the different voices so necessary for the feeling of continuity in Palestrina were executed with ac- curacy, and the shading was deli- cate and expressive. In Bless the Lord, O My Soul by Bach, one had the feeling thatthe voices were too strained, but the last selection, The 150th Psalm by Franck, in which the men’s voices were particularly clear and re- sounding, brought the program to a triumphant close. Miss Helen Rice, Athleen Jacobs and Harriet Case, playing violin, flute and piano, respectively, gave a pleasant performance of the Ada- gio from Bach’s Brandenburg Con- certo No. 5. er stereotyped, but that each is adapted to the interests of the community which it serves. Miss Williams explained that it is possible for college students to get summer jobs as substitutes in the New York Public Libraries by applying to Franklin Hopper, chief of circulation. To become a regu- lar librarian you must have a de- gree from graduate school. Any specialized knowledge you have will be valuable when you are trying to get a position, for there are special libraries now for many dif- ferent fields, such as music, art, science and medicine. Miss Williams, who is most in- terested in the work being done for children and adolescents, de- scribed means used to’ get them acquainted with books and the li- brary. Most city libraries now have special children’s rooms with books attractively displayed. The librarian must not only charge the books and suggest reading to the children and to their school teach- ers, but she must conduct story hours and help the children to give puppet shows and dramatizations of their favorite books. —————__________- TYPICAL NIGHT AND SUNDAY RATES FROM Beyn WMawe For 3-Minute Station-to-Station Calls 200A MacIntosh, Northrop Representatives To Alumnae Conference March 21, 22, 28.—The Bryn Mawr.

Helen MacIntosh told the council of the growing interest on campus in con- ditions outside college, especially in relief work, and of the simul- taneously increasing attehtion to college problems: the activities of the Bryn Mawr League and of the Curriculum Committee, and the idea’ of three-college cooperation. There is a prospect, she said, of a closer relationship between the colleges, between students and between the different departments. Marion Gill spoke more specif- ically on the need at Bryn Mawr for a course in practical art. No student could fully understand His- tory of Art, she said, without her- self meeting the problems which confront an artist in his work. Sauce FRANCYS - ARDMORE “See our beautiful collection of suits and dresses” Priced at $19.95 and up City Lights By Rebecca Robbitis, ’42 Philadelphia, an eager, young- minded, progressive city, expanded so rapidly that it neglected details like sewers. And anyway sewers have nasty connotations. Little children drown in Bur- holme because there’s nothing to do with the annual forty inches of rainfall. Valuable cows get stuck “in the--mud— in” Eastwick, where there aren’t even any, gut- ters leading to the non-existent sewers. Olney is beautiful. The streets are wide and- paved, and they have curbstones. But Spring | is liquid in Olney, and hard on your shoes, In view of this situation, the Budget Committee of the City Council has proposed sewer rents. Maybe because the Council, with the interests of the city sincerely at heart, has so long been wishfully thinking that there are sewers, that now it thinks there are. I. don’t know. This need for practical experience is not answered by the Art Club, for its existence is too precarious. She suggested that a course in practical art be given for labora- tory work to supplement History of Art, and pointed out that the possibility might be realized either by exchange of instructors with Swarthmore, or by application to the Carnegie Foundation.

Both the students and the faculty fear a narrowing in the outlook ofathé.present student, who limits ioe too much to his one field “orto one aspect of his field. The faculty feels that at the “present time itis the duty of the} University to give the student a clear notion of what the past repre- sents, and, by this, to help him to see why the best of the past is worthy to survive in the future. They also want to help the student to formulate his ideas of the mod- ern world based on the experience he has been able to gather from history. The fields of study which can best help the student to strengthen his outlook and philosophy of life, are the natural sciences, philos- ophy, classical and modern litera- ture. The new interdepartmental majors will emphasize the connec- tions between these subjects. They will help the student to unite this with a breadth of outlook necessary in the world today. “To under- stand the world and oneself” is a fitting educational motto, and this can best be carried out by an in- tegration of the experience of the past with the present. One interdepartmental major is that of French and philosophy, in- tended for those who are interested in the idealogical and philosophical background of one of the great cul- tures of the world. French, history and history of art will also be re- lated. Other fields are Far East- ern Cultures and the coordination of the sciences. The field of great- est interest is that of Government and Philosophy in which the con- nection of law and politics with philosophical] thought will be stress- ed. Courses on comparative gov- ernment and political philosophy will be essential to this field of study. The senior doing such_major work will be required to write~ an essay in which he will work out his own understanding of the subject and organize his ideas independent of course work. Final comprehen- sive examinations will complete the study. The program, Yale Univers- ity faculty state, is -not-as-complete as could be wished, but as complete as they now can offer. It is hoped that in a few years this plan will be greatly extended as new depart- ments and other colleges see op- portunities for a richer and more useful education.

They do clerical and signalling work, or serve in the transport system— driving staff cars, taking tanks to points of embarkation, or ferrying planes from factories to airfields. Another 100,000 are in ambulance corps. Women also serve in the Home Guard, which is armed with American firearms, and as mem- bers of the Air Raid Precautions and Auxiliary Fire Force groups. Much of the impact of the war falls upon the housewife. She has no mass-morale to sustain her in the constant ordeal of black-outs and bombings. Nevertheless, the determination . to win remains.

The room, which will re- semble as nearly as possible a private library, is to be completed in June. Shelves of cypress wood, printed linen curtains and a Persian rug will be background for two dis- play cases, containing the library’s collection of incunabula, or books printed before the sixteenth cen- tury. The college collection of old books is, according to Dr. Herben, “quite respectable.” The oldest book is an almost in- tact quarto probably printed in Ulm about 1470, which was in the Bodleian before being purchased and presented to Bryn Mawr. A Theophrastus represents printing in Greek before the sixteenth cen- tury. It was made by Aldus at ‘Venice in 1497.
