XXVII, No. 17 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1941 Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1940 PRICE 10 CENTS Markham Tells How to Soothe Visiting Ministers Pyramids, »Italian ‘Counts Have Figured: Luridly When we went tn see Ginny Markham, the new president of the Bryn Mawr League, we found her stretched out on the sofa reading, appropriately enough, a chapter of Saroyan’s, entitled “The Presby- terian Choir Singers.” She prob- ably could have given Aram some pointers, for as head of Chapel Committee during the past two years she has had a good deal of experience along ministerial lines. Visiting preachers who arrive with splits in their coattails have had the garment whisked away from them and neatly darned, and rec- tors’ rubbers which get left be- hind are filled with lollipops and sent home to them. The last time Ginny tried this trick, however, the parcel got. heated on the way, and the minister was unable to remove his rubbers for days and days. In spite of her urbane appear- ance, Ginny hails from Wisconsin. She was educated at Concord Acad- emy, where she was head of the House Committee and of the Satur- day Club. This job entailed plan- ning picnics and excursions, but usually ended up by Ginny’s wash- ing all the dishes, late at night. Ginny spent what must. have been a hectic year abroad.

The differences in expression, however, seem to be in- dividual rather than tribal, and it is evident that the same conscious- ness of foreground design and bril- liant flat color, already innate in the race, has been encouraged in every case. As patterns with very little modeling, these watercolors are delightful, but the technical limitations of their creators make for a certain monotony, It is inter- esting to discover reversions to the! south-western sand-painting qual- ity, as well as a.fairly consistent Continued on Page Five Forum to Consider Academic Problems ‘News’ Elections The Ne w-s—takes great pleasure in’ announcing the following elections: Editor- in-Chief, Joan Gross, ’42.

On Thursday, March 18, at 7.30, in the Common Room, the Curricu- lum Committee will hold an open ‘forum to which all faculty ‘and students are urged to come. The topics of the meeting, chosen for their general interest, will be: Pro and Con Thanksgiving, Long Paper-itis, Midyearsg-Do We Need Them?, and Are ‘Qirtizzes Too Im- portant? They will be presented for discussion by members of the committee, and the sense of the forum will be referred through the committee to the faculty. Sugges- tions are requeg¢ed, and it is hoped that this meeting will lead to general thought among under- graduates about the problems of curriculum. Farmers’ Market Offers Verdant Wares, oo But Farmers Remain Romantically Silent By Agnes Mason, *42 Scrapple and spring flowers, Mennonite bonnets and hard head- ed business men, we found, but the human interest stories that we ex- pected to gather at the Farmers’ Market weren’t forthcoming. The farmers don’t think they are quaint and don’t invite questions other -than * those “pertaining to — sales. They are agfeeable but busy. You don’t get familiar with a Pennsylvania Dutchman right off the bat and you don’t violate his business ethics with personality questions. __(Even a News reporter at 630 A.

Daly; Producers Less Scope By Olivia Kahn, ’41 Goodhart, March 8.—The ladies Gregory and “Millay” were feted by the members of Players Club to- night. Both were given a pretty good reception, even though’ Lady Gregory’s Rising of the Moon was shrouded in darkness so great that those who were doing honor to her name could scarcely be seen. Aria da Capo, a fantasy by Edna St. Vincent Millay, was whipped into shape in a surprisingly short time by Madge Daly, ’42. It af- forded pleasing contrast between the light careless banter of Pierrot and Columbine, and the grim spec- tacle of Death astride a cannon cueing two shepherds engaged in a dangerous game. At least one face new to campus productions emerged, that of Margaret Hol- land, ’48, who played the role of Corydon with unusual clarity and simplicity. Although she appeared at moments to be slightly nervous, Miss Holland is an actress Players Club should keep an eye on in their future productions. As Pierrot and Columbine, Eileen Durning, ’41, and Jacqueline Block, ’44, were harminely callous, their speech on the whole being better under control than their actions. Pods more time the scene might |have been better paced. Miss Durning gradually warmed to her role and her performance was somewhat better at thé end of the play than when the curtain first rose. Virginia Nichols, ’41, was a convincing Thyrsis, and although the role of Phyllis Wright, also ’41, was, comparitively..minor, .with..the aid of ingenious makeup she “made her presence very strongly felt. All in all the play was. successful through the cooperation of director, actors, and ‘scenic designers. Somewhat less satisfying was the production of The Rising of the Moon. The responsibility for this lies in the fact that the play does not really afford sufficient oppor- tunities for its producers to -test their mettle. Unquestionably Vivi French, ’42, did a fine job of di- recting but the audience was left with the uneasy feeling that the play might have been given almost as well with only a few hours of rehearsal and small effort. The fact that the stage was so dark was, I believe, a serious fault, for much of the detail of the acting was thereby lost. Julie Follansbee, ’41, was excel- lent as the hero, strolling around the stage with what appeared to be ‘complete confidence. Her voice, piercing through the fog onstage, was attractive, whether singing or speaking, and her movements were well controlled. The sergeant, Mary Chadwick, ’44, and the two policemen, Mary Ellis, 44, and Ann Denny, '43, did fairly well, although. their. parts. did not allow for much range in talent. Perhaps it is heresy to tread on sacred ground, but might, we sug- gest the Irish theatre be given a rest for a while?

Cosiiad bien bs Miss Reid Common Room, March 11—With the passage of the Lend-Lease Bill, some war material was sent today to England.and’ Greece, said Miss Reid. Its specific identity was with- held by President Roosevelt in a press conference, with the agree- ment of Army and Navy officials, but indications seem to show that a certain number of mosquito boats formed part of the transaction. Turning to the Balkan crisis, Miss Reid said it seems fairly con- clusive that, although Turkey is saying little, she means to stand by the terms of her military al- liance with Great Britain. This | view is inforced by a short news- paper dispatch alleging that Premier Molotov, foreign secretary of the USSR told Turkey that Russia had no objections to Tur- key’s adhesion to her alliance-with Great Britain. According to the latest reports, Germany has placed 100,000 troops on the Bulgarian frontier in a position to attack Greece. But, Miss Reid said, Major George Fielding Eliot, noted strategist, has point- ed out that these same troops can be used to attack, instead of south- eastward, ' into Greece, directly eastward into the Ukrane. The an- nexation of the Ukrane, rich in grain and oil resources, has al- ways been one of Hitler’s. objec- tives, as announced in Mein Kampf. Russo-German relations have not been those of complete good will and such a conflict between the | two is possible. In recent weeks, Nazi prestige and influence has risen in South America, probably the result of the formula “nothing succeeds like success,” South America being im- pressed by Germany’s recent tri- umphs in the Balkans which raised the number of countries under Ger- man occupation to 12. Such a de- velopment makes the efforts toward pan-Americanism harder, with the further complication that both Germany and the United States in their moves for influence are pac- ing their attempts against time.

M. on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and between 9 and 12.30 A. M. on Fridays and Satur- days. Duties Described ~—For_ Vice-President.

Luxury Shop presented is taken into account, it is seen that youth, brought up to think success to be personal indepedence, has been humiliated by its actual ex- perience in unemployment. It is the normal reaction for it to “or- ganize to gnash its teeth.” Women, who 20 years ago were the recognized minority group, have now been merged with men on a co-operative basis, and it is hoped that labor, the pressure group of today, will soon follow a similar course. The abolition of discrimi- nation settled the sex problem, and it should be the cure for all minority groups. The other way to approach the problem of essential and artificial characteristics in society is through special privileges. These also are found to depend upon tri- vialities in some primitive tribes on neck-rings, or obesity, for in- stance. : The criteria for both privileges and minorities have been set up by tradition. The more extreme the custom, the more a tribe will sacri- fice to maintain it, until some, ‘because blood-feuds are traditional, commit tribal suicide. In closing, Miss Benedict wished to emphasize the fact that ‘these systems of minority groups and special ‘privileges are not fated or World War and didn’t weaken Britain, why didn’t you do it this time?’ ” Upholds Hoover Plan To Feed Democracies 95 per cent.

ARDMORE 4840 TRINITY 4750 ——————e—eeeeeeeEoeeees By Isabel Martin, ’42 Goodhart, March 7.—Cornelia Otis Skinner presented eight of her amusing and dramatic sketches to an enthusiastic audience last Fri- day night. The sketches embraced a variety of moods and subjects, and exhibited Miss Skinner’s skill in acting, her humor, and her fine ability to comprehend characters Goodhart, March 5. — “The Hoover Food Plan for feeding the small democracies of Europe is not an experiment, it is a machinery,” began Mr. Milton Brown of the Belgian Relief Fund, Inc., speaking in the Common Room on Thursday evening, at 7.30. He outlined the mechanisms of this machinéry as it worked from 1914-23 and as it would be worked now. It is first necessary to ascertain, Mr. Brown said, the subsistence level of the nation in need, then find out the amount of native pro- duce. The exact difference (never a pound more nor less) must be imported under the plan, which differs from emergency relief in that every bit of food is com- mandeered and must be obtained daily by presentation of a food card. Thus, it becomes an exact science and any loss of food is im- mediately discovered. In the last war whenever German thievery oc- curred, the commission reported it to high German officials and every ounce was paid -back. Under this plan, 387 million people in Belgium, Norway, Hol- land and Poland, countries who have appealed to the United States for this aid, would be fed. The food would be bought by gold re- Conference Reports Anyone interested in re- ceiving a mimeographed re- port of the three-college con- ference on community work, please get in touch with Nancy.

Each character was a complete and com- prehensible entity and Miss Skin- nér changed character with amaz- ing’ rapidity. English Gardens portrayed an English woman in a London sub- urb on an evening in September, 1940. She defied Hitler with casual British indifference and deep unspoken courage as she sat with her husband and listened to the drone of bombers overhead. The monologue was realistic and finished and created a dramatic tension which the audience seemed unwilling to break. In a lighter, more humorous vein were Christmas Morning, The Facts of Life, Motoring in the Nineties, and Being Presented. The first of these was a familiar and delightful rendition of a typical home scene. The Facts of Life handled a difficult subject with deftness and humor. Miss, Skinner bounced and screamed through Motoring in the Nineties with a small . and eloquent pink bow waggling on her topknot.

Another interesting one is the Kachinas by, Fred Kabotie, a Hopi, who is himself a teacher. This shows three men dressed as the spirits of the dead in a tribal cere- mony, and has unusual traces of- modeling and shading. On _ the other hand, the picture called, Burying the Baby, by an Apache, Allen Houset, is an extraordinary subject for an Indian‘to portray, as most of the tribes have an exag- gerated fear of the mere mention of death in the immediate sense. Finally, for its suggestion-of mo-. tion, the Yarbi-chai (Navajo Dance) by the Navajo, Harrison Bagay, is outstanding. In the animal-scenes, three speci- mens are especially striking and characteristic of their respective types.._One .is. the Navajo Wade Hadley’s Deer in a Forest, which is reminiscent of Chinese Paintings in its adaption of delicately executed natural details to a formal pattern.

The. School’s ex- citement at winning a collegiate meet stimulated the Baldwin spec- tators and was not affected by the snow outside. Bryn Mawr’s form provided more competition than its ‘speed. The forty-yard free-style fell to Baldwin’s lightning work. The diving first place was snatched by the School, but Hedge, 44, of Bryn Mawr took second. In the 50- yard back-stroke a record for the Baldwin pool was set at 39 seconds by a member of the winning team. Bryn Mawr felt abashed at losing the first meet. of the year, but the meet was a fast one and the visitors consoled them with tea. ‘Dr. E.

This time the scene was Rhoads North basement and the hour— just about bedtime for Betty Eddy. As she pulled her light plug out of the wall, flames enveloped her and her room. No one thought to get the fire extinguishers which happened to be kept on the wall right outside her door; no one even thought of ringing the fire-bell no- tifying the eaptain. The fire undoubtedly would have burned all night if Miss Hait, col- lege diatician, and Harrison, Rhoads porter, had not just ‘hap- pened to remember the extinguish- ers and heroically put an end to the blaze. Two News reporters, and a cam- eraman, who was mercilessly pulled ut of bed for the occasion, arrived in time to take a picture of Miss Hait attacking the charred rem- nants with a mop. meoramri for war is our enemy in actuality. | exes — ——— 4 If we fear that, once at war, we | will have to adopt totalitarian | methods, we have accepted the| fascist conception of the state as a | machine, and have denied the dem- ocratic right to control and to change our government.
