The only thing that wor- ried them’ was whether the Fresh- men knew that they knew and had changed the tune. Mr. Her- man Giersch, leader of the band, would not yield an inch. He said he had led the band for thirty-five years and never told on the Fresh- men yet. When the procession really got under way, a group of Sophomores who had been hanging around Pem Arch asking questions, making speeches about 6.30 A.-M. classes for Freshmen the next day, and generally being a nuisance, rushed down and told the ring around the fire the good news. Apparently, it all started with Sylvia Brown, ’45, getting the idea of playing Fresh- man, and it worked. There was the song to greet the mob, a hun- dred and fifty-eight strong, that charged down the hill. One happy innovation was the Juniors’ flares. They didn’t smell of sulphur (vital war material) and they burned brightly while they burned; which was about half way down the hill. The Freshman song was to the tune of Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho: Heigh ho, Heigh ho, Parading we must go From Pembroke Arch We start the march To meet the foe, Heigh ho. Oh forty-six We really know the tricks We're big and tough We may get rough Those sophs we'll fix. Sophomore parody: Heigh ho, Heigh ho, We’ve got you fooled and so From Pembroke Arch We too can march To meet our foe.

The ‘stiff training college | gives is directed at the intellectual | vigor and accuracy without which our war effort must be a failure. There are certain jobs to be done The respon- sibility for these jobs lies largely in the training which this college and others of like purpose have to offer, continued Miss McBride, as |She stressed the principle that trained minds are paramountly es~ sential for victory in the war and in the peace. The jobs to be done are of many i different kinds, Miss McBride added. The problem of choosing a field of work is as difficult as ever. The reason for this is that knowl- edge’ and skill must be brought to bear where they are most needed. Individual abilities and interests have to be recognized, as a person 'who will be highly productive on one job will fail on another. This does not mean that we | should coddle ourselves as we did before the war in the extent to which we tried to adjust the work | to the individual. We must plan /our work in relation to our own interests and purpose only in as far as to guarantee the highest which must be done. Instructor int«Economics, will sub- | efficiency. Efficiency is of supreme value to the war effort, said Miss McBride. It is important to know how to analyze a problem, how to organize material for its presentation, and how to check the conclusions to be drawn in its solution. This is the type of training which college gives. Bryn Mawr is not following some of the colleges who have this year introduced a prescribed course for the Freshman’ year: English, American History, Mathematics, and Physics or Chemistry. Such a prescribed course neglects the ex- istence of individual abilities. The demand for trained minds is not being met. We have the skill for it, and the equipment.

Bedmaking by the students is only symptomatic of this disturbance, but the entire col- lege has been tearing its hair, and wondering what the world is com- ing to, at the mere mention of un- dergraduates~ living in Radnor, sacrosanct to brains. Since the authorities are evi- dently somewhat chary of allowing unhardened Freshmen to come in contact too abruptly with the acme of Bryn Mawr’s rarefaction, only transfers are at present living in Radnor; three Juniors, Marian Neustadt, Honora- Thompson, and four Sophomores, Barbara Sincoff, Barbara Buchanan, Mary Wood, and the Misses Parke and Mce- Bride—Nancy and Maragrete, re- ively. Mrs. Thon also func- tions- as the Warden of Under- graduates in Radnor. However, despite their having an undergraduate warden, Radnor’s minority is disciplined. Unlike graduate students, they have no keys—that is, officially. But—and I quote an eminent, if recent grad —*it’s very easy.” In spite of this seemingly idyl- lic state of affairs, all these for- gotten women are waiting, with bated breath, for eight undergrad- uates to flunk out, get married, or — be drafted. One or two is not enough, because they must all move at the same time; one or two can- not be left alone in' Radnor, a prey to the Radnorian dissensions caused by the insistence of the more fri- volous elements on playing Strauss waltzes, instead of confining them- selves to Hindemith and Stravinski. Besides, as one of the oppressed minority put it, “You get awfully queer looks when you say you live in Radnor.” ad ~ en, which there exist difference of opinion are first, our state of pre- Page Twe we THE COLLEGE NEWS igen THE COLLEGE NEWS | Published weekly during the College Year (excepting during Thanks- giving, Christmas and faster Holidays, and during examination weeks) in the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Maguire Building, Wayne, ‘“ F’a.. and Bryn Mawr College.

Confidence and Steals Parade Night Theme By Barbara Kauffman, ’43 Parade Night revealed a new heroine. To a lot of Freshmen it also revealed a new Sophomore. Sylvia Brown, ’45, discovered the Parade Night Song for the benefit of the Sophomore Class which promptly parodied it im the tradi- tional fashion. How she did it? they believed it.” Last Tuesday, she began to work out her plan. She told Freshmen that, what with living in Low Buildings, she had not heard the words to the Parade Night Song and asked them if they would tell them to her. Unfortunately, the Freshman Class had been eareful. Not all the Freshmen knew the “Tt was all very simple, in theory,|song. Sylvia tried again and at least,” she says. ‘You see, Ijagain. “I am sure that they were was in the Infirmary last May and not suspicious, but simply didn’t had to defer two exams.

The work is there, and it will have to be done by the girls graduating during the next few years. In ordinary times, obviously orily students with specialized interests would take a course such as Photogrammetry. Now, faced with the country’s growing need, many students will take.such a course, preparing themselves for a definite war time job. Few would deny that this is the wise solu- tion for the majority of us. Yet higher education, as it has been understood at Bryn Mawr, is something far different from special training for a special job. What it means is the development of general abilities and general knowledge to be directed towards any one of a number of specifie ends. The method of approaching any problem, analyzing it, ‘and’ drawing conclusions from it, is distinctly more valuable in the long run than a detailed knowledge of one problem. A varied intellectual background serves more uses than one that is limited, however thorough it may be. This has been Bryn Mawr’s concept of higher education, and Miss McBride was right to stress it. She herself proved that that ideal is no less valid today than in the past when she discussed the records of Bryn Mawr’s graduates. What holds good for them holds good for the students still in college. The entering class will not, and cannot, follow exactly the same plan. They must take some time to serve more immediate and pressing needs. Yet if they are to follow the graduates in their success, the best method must be to follow them, as much as possible, in their training as well. Second Front There is complete agreement ‘among all win-the-war elements of the’ American people that a Second Front should be opened, simply because anyone who has thought about the question sees quite clearly that it is only by actual invasion of the European Continent that final victory can be won. Not only do the people support the Second Front, but, also, to open it is the declared policy of our government, as expressed in the Roosevelt - Churchill - Molotov Agreement of June, 1942. Everyone, moreover, would like to see the Second Front opened as soon as possible. The only points on paredness, and second, the role of the ordinary civilian in helping to launch the invasion. We are not military “experts,” although we question the au- thenticity of this term in its application to certain journalists and lecturers who predicted the fall of Russia within three weeks, or three months at the most ; who placed boundless faith in the Maginot Line; and who were complacent about our defenses in the Pacific. However, we believe that certain phases of the war effort not only deserve our activity and participation, but also demand it. Before considering the questions posed it is necessary to point out that wars have never been fought and won by armies, generals and peoples who did not wish that they were better prepared. War, in_short, is always a risk. MH we were absolutely certain of Victory, the Axis would be left no choice but to surrender. This is an ele- mentary point which is sometimes forgotten. In this same category belongs the importance of remembering that the time which we use to prepate for an offensive,.of whose success there. could be no question, is being used by the Axis also, not only in preparation to resist ouf attack, but also to continue its own offensive in the East. Concerning the actual state of our preparation, the statements from authorities. are conflieting. The relative validity of these various statemerits is a subject in itself. However, a point in this SIDELINES These are my observations of two and a half months in a war plant working as a clerk. I made limited contacts, and was confined largely to one floor of one” building of a plant which sprawls over about eight city blocks, In this job, all kinds of corresportdence went through my hands. The office force, I learned, had been tremendously enlarged to cope more effectively with the ever-increasing volume of work, It seemed | that the girls in the office finished the work they had to do on time, | although the general atmosphere in the office was happy-go-lucky. The engineers worked the hardest of all, although there was plenty of “kibitzing” among them too. The company; which is-a monopoly in its field, was very pater- nalistic. It provided athletic facilities, regular dances, picnics and | other entertainment for the workers. The plant was organized by the CIO after a big strike in the depths of the great depression. The union, according to the workers, has done much to improve both the wage scale and the working conditions. But with recovery the workers lost thé tremendous interest in it which they had dis/ played when it first arrived. ~The workers-do-not dislike the union. They won’t forget what it did for them. But they associate the union primarily with their struggle for better economic conditions. In the correspondence I have found frequent concern on the part of executives for the new competition’ developing with the war. For this reason they wanted to maintain some production for non- war purpose. I, perhaps, have painted a picture'that is not very encouraging. It should be pointed out that I had no criterion of judgment and also that the plant is turning out huge quantities of war material. It received the Navy “E” and one of its divisions was awarded the President’s flag, given monthly to the best division throughout the country. Jessie STONE, 44. connection that can be considered here is the alternative to the immediate opening of the Second Front. Despite the fact that we do not have exact figures on the number of troops Hitler has in the West as compared to the number in the East, there is no dis- agreement on the contention that Russia is engaging the greatest number and best trained of the Nazi armed forces. To delay the invasion is to gamble dangerously on the ability of the Russians to continue to hold most of Hitler’s forces in the East, and also on her ability to launch an offensive when the landing finally takes place. Despite the gallantry and the epic-making resistance of the Red Army, it has slowly been giving ground and losing tremendous num- bers of men. As this trend continues Hitler adds more and more grain, oil, coal and iron to his war machine. To delay, therefore, is to gamble with enormous odds against us. What, then, are we to do about-it? Is the Second Front a question for military experts alone? Or is it not rather a military, political and psychological issue combined? What did Wendell Willkie mean when he said, as the official representative of our Commander-in-Chief, that our military leaders need some “public prodding” to open the Second Front? The columnist, Sam Grafton, made an excellent point recently when he said that public clamor for the invasion was the highest expression of the morale we’ve been trying to build, that Hitler would probably give his right arm to have the German people come out in the streets shouting “On to Moscow!’ We do not propose that the people plan the technical details for launching the invasion, but we do think with Vice-Presi- dent Wallace and countless other Americans that this is largely a political war, and that vocal popular support of it is essential for that reason. =p | showed that only ‘11 per cent of! sequently there was no room for in despair.” me and I had to live in Low Build-| ings. It was a plausible story and | Bravely, she wert on, however. Tuesday night, she found another Freshman. And the girl, thinking that it was only her duty to tell, repeated it carefully. “She wouldn’t let me write down the words, though,” Sylvia explained at an in- terview yesterday. “I had to argue and argue until finally she let me write the first letter of each word. That was after I had told her that I had a very bad. memory, which is one of the few true things I have said in the past two weeks.” Sylvia then rushed off to Lydia Gifford, president of thé’ Sopho- more Class, and read off\the song. She didn’t help.-to make up--the parody, however, because by that time, she really thought that she had better get some studying done. “It’s funny,” Sylvia said, “I have | never been ‘able to lie. well before. But really this time I told the most terrific whoppers. I went around with a completely vacant stare and apparently did it so well that some Seniors took pity on me and asked if they could help me find my way around. I-even asked someone if she knew where the Dean’s office was.” “I was really worried, though,” she confessed, “when the upper- classmen began to come _ back. Vociferous greetings by returning friends were hard to explain, but I somehow managed to make my stories seem credible. Then, after I had found the song, I got terribly afraid that the Freshmen would get suspicious and change it. It was just luck that they didn’t.” “The only thing that worries me about this is that it does seem to give me a very black character,” Sylvia added. “The Freshmen now think that the whole affair is. a good reflection of Sophomore morals and I am afraid that even now, I am not quite forgiven.” Menace From Enemy Haunts Reading Room By Lenore O’Boyle, ’43 ‘Our .worst suspicions have been confirmed. For some time the more acute observers of our varied and fascinating campus life have been denouncing fifth columnists. These denunciations have been greeted by raucous laughter, on the grounds that there are no Ge- stapo agents in the stacks.

These students were all impressed by the great amount of social free- dom that the American girl has in comparison to the European. Many remarked on the quick tempo of American life and on its large scale. European public schools seemed much harder than the pub- lic or private schools in America, but Arnerican schools allow more choice of subjects.
