The president of the Alliance must coordinate sub-committees, preside at the Alliance Executive Board meetings, and is automati- cally a member of the Undergradu- ate Council and the College Coun- cil. As the purpose of the Alliance is to initiate and coordinate War! Activity on campus, its president should be alive to current political problems. The college activities of the can- didates nominated are as follows: Jessie Stone Jessie Stone was a member of the committee that founded the War Alliance. She is now the Publicity Director of the Alliance. She was a member of the Indus- trial Group her Freshman and Sophomore years and its President during her Junior year. _Jessie was on the Editorial Staff of the News during her Freshman and Sophomore years.

KOREN tts | : | Naturalistic Theory Refuted in Lecture Presented by Kohler March Common Room, L— Gestalt Psychologist, pointed out in his lecture, The Naturalistic In- terpretation of Man. If philoso- phy would only abate its claims | that man is a supernatural being, ' and if science would ta&e a more. catholic and flexible view of na- | ; ture, he believes their respective | duties could be reconciled. Dr. Kohler said, lies in-the struc- ture of the brain“as corresponding to the structure of. the perceived world, and in the recognition that ' there is an ideal of “fittingness” that controls all natural activity, human and sub-human. Dr. Kohler discussed various in- terpretations of man with particu- | lar reference to the present “era | of gloom.” The Agnosticism and , Relativism of today are the out- | come of the old theory of Positiv- | ism, he said. The gloom of the | present he blames on the natural- | istic interpretation of man. This interpretation argues that man, as any other natural being, is evolved from nature, and that the mind of man is no marvel, but simply a natural product of evolution. The theory of evolution has no effect on the human mind, Dr. Kohler insisted. It can no more change the qualities of the human mind than it can change the laws of physics and chemistry. The natural interpretation of man will “act as a Trojan Horse in our midst and destroy all ambition in the younger generation.” Dr. Kohler used an illustrative dialogue to expound the various ideas which have been proposed to solve the serious problem of build- ing a bridge between man and nature. Tappen Makes Plans As Undergrad Head Kay Tappen was the last per- son on campus to hear that she was the new president of the Un- dergraduate Association. The news had scarcely reached her be- fore-she was bombarded with ques- | tions concerning her “policy for next year. “T have no platform at all. . only the steps,” said Kay, not com- mitting herself to any definite stand. She continued to say that she was especially interested in getting the duties of the Under- graduate Association: clearly de- fined, and in this connection men- tioned the new six-head council. - Kay confesses that her highest personal ambition is ‘“‘to be able to sing all day without getting a sore throat.” Known all over the campus for her second alto voice, she is particularly remembered for her rendition as the policeman in Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance, in 1941. A psychology major, Kay spends much of her time in lab, and is “a chain smoker in times of great stress only.” eR Marriage Mary Patricia Murnaghan, 44, to Lt. John Jay Jackson, U. S. Army Air. Corps.

It has prevented other students from adequately preparing their work and will result in lowering of the academic standard at exam time. The present system provides no sufficient record of books and therefore has not checked these violations. Students must realize the selfishness of their acts when they take a. book without signing for it and prevent others from using it. If student pressure cannot impress this upon them, the only solu- tion to the problem is to institute a stricter system. This would be a closed system in which the removal and return of a book is under close supervision of a librarian. This would give an exact check on the whereabouts of every book. A slow and complicated closed system in the reserve room would certainly be undesirable after the simple, present one. If the students refuse to cooperate and prove that the present system can be a successful one, the library staff is willing to consider re- vising it at the suggestion of the students. ” WOT NOT Students have been wondering what has happened to the request of the undergraduates for unlim- ited cuts. As nothing since has been heard from the Faculty Cur- riculum Committee, we set out to gather opinion on the subject. A letter from the undergradu- ate Curriculum Committee to the Faculty Committee advocated un- limited cuts in all except first-year courses. They put forth as a rea- son the inefficiency, inaccuracy and expense of the present monitoring system. A member of the faculty, Mr. Wells, pointed out that unlimited cuts would undoubtedly involve limitation of weekends. Mrs. Manning, holding the same view, mentioned that other colleges have tried it and that the connection is inescapable: unlimited cuts neces- sitate a limitation on overnight ab- sences. She feels that although the present system is not an ideal way of dealing with cuts, it is impor- tant to have some. check for the benefit of those who cannot cope with their work if they cut as much as they like. To have many of the students “suppose they can do it would be leading most of them to perdition.” The student viewpoint, on the other hand, seems to be almost en- tirely in favor-of unlimited cuts, although nearly 100% of those who hold this view admit that some regulation of first year courses and required courses is necessary. The student attitude ranged all the way from the vio- lent opinion that the present sys- tem is “ridiculous and childish” to a modified qualification that. un- a limited cuts “would be nice, if pos- sible.” The first reaction was usually a spontaneous outburst of assent to the idea, but a great many wavered as the difficulties were brought up one by one. Near- ly all would infinitely prefer un- limited weekends if it came to a choice. One suggestion for making the unlimited system possible was to have more quizzes to keep work from sliding, requiring each stu- dent to maintain a certain aver- age in order to have unlimited cuts. Those not successful in this could be held responsible for sign- ing a slip in class, thus doing! away with monitoring. Many feel that undergraduates are mature enough to have more independence than the present sys- tem allows. A number insist that it would ‘be ible to have both unlimited cuts and unlimited week- ends because students would be more conscientious if held respon- sible themselves rather’ than forced into it. OPINION Manning Corrects Editorial: War Jobs Need Social Science Majors To the Editor of the College News: In your editorial on New Majors in the last number of the News you state that until recently only the science departments have pre- pared girls for important war jobs. While it is true that only the sci- ence departments have given new ‘courses, for this purpose it is quite wrong to suppose that the students majoring in the social sciences have not prepared themselves for jobs in Washington as important as those for which the special sci- ence courses are a _ preparation. As a matter of fact, the demand for well trained economics majors in the Washington departments is so great that the women’s colleges cannot begin to meet it. Most of last year’s economics majors were placed almost before they took their AB degrees. There is now an almost equal demand for ABs who have been trained in history, politics, or sociology. The office of Strategic Services sent one of its research board to all the women’s colleges in February, looking for possible recruits. Incidentally, one of the qualifications for work in his office and in many other offices in Washington is a really good knowledge of German, French, or Italian. Needless to say, a knowl- edge of Russian has a scarcity value all its own.

Those in favor of the status quo argue that students are disorgan- ized enough now and need—a--ste» balizing influence, that those who complain are really benefiting from the cut system. This is especially true of underclassmen who have not learned to manage their work. One faction holds that unlimited cuts would be an incentive to pro- fessors to make classes more inter- esting.

IN PRINT Sincerity of Dali Questioned In Surrealist’s Treatment Of Own Life By April Oursler, ’45 Salvador Dali is an amazing man. His new book, The Secret Life of Salvador Dali is even more amazing. It is impossible to tell where truth meets falsehood in the book, or where Dali is just bluffing. The bogk as a whole is an uncanny mixture of greatness and small- ness In its smallness it is over- fantastic, fe en un- necessarily horrible. In its great- ness it is a hymn to the power of the human spirit rising above the animal side of man’s nature. Much of the book must be taken with a large grain of salt. Not that Dali underestimates the world-shaking significance of his work, he merely feels it is natural that he become impatient with the slow, conventional minds of soci- ety. One of his pet projects, still unperpetrated, is to bake a fif- teen-metre loaf of bread and place it in the center of Paris with great secrecy, waiting with indescrib- able glee for all the uninspired populace to go wild trying to ex- plain the mysterious appearance of this bread. As loaf after loaf, appeared in all the capitals of Europe, he alone would know the true secret of the illogical splen- dor of the trick. The whole world would be wondering, but he alone would know Dali is one of the most openly egocentric of all men; he abhors ~ modesty of any sort, and admits it with great pride and pleasure. Describing’ his childhood he says, “IT was the backward, anarchistic, polymorphous, perverse : Everything modified me, novhing changed me the colloidal environment of my mind was to find the unique and inquisitorial rigor of Spanish thought, the def- initive form of the bloody, jesuiti- cal, and aborescent agates of my curious genius.” The curious genius is so wrapped up in unin- hibited desires and pleasures that it becomes almost unacceptable to the inhibited, conventional mind of the world around him. In spite of all this, Dali is great. His paintings are magnificent, symbolic and_ revolutionary, a great example of his main conten- tion—that man’s soul can . rise above .the animal side of his na- ture to show the true superiority of man to the rest of the animals. Dali is one of the most animal of so-called civilized men, and he is a genius, by most standards of art. If Dali could write with the per- spicacious selection and constant genius of his paintings, his book would have been a masterpiece. It is still an overpoweringly impor- tant book. EC naid oui bs Common Room, March 9.—The position of our diplomats in rela- tion to American Foreign Policy and particularly that of Admiral Stanley, was the subject of Miss Reid’s lecture in Current Events this week. All diplomats, she said, are forced to make quick judg- ments now, some even without the authorization of the home govern- ment. These decisions vary with the personality of the representa- tive who is primarily the “eyes and ears of the Department of State.” His function is not. to de- termine policy. There has been a recent turmoil over radio reports of a speech made by Admiral Stanley, popular | According to these reports he call- ed a conference and in a dramatic interview, Miss Reid- explained, he Russian government maintains be- fore its own people and the rest of the world that she is fighting the war alone. There has been no mention of Allied help. It must be noted, stated Miss Reid, that Russia has played her own game | from the beginning of this war. She has avoided round-table dis- | cussions. The real issue which! Admiral Stanley has just forced, concerns the tendency of the: Rus- | sian government to deprecate or forget all outside assistance. She: { has instead voiced long criticism of the,failure to set up a second front. The reasons for Admiral Stan- ley’s recent statement are not clear. His career has provided him with good diplomatic experi- ence, and from the early days he has urged united action and our entrance into the war. Judging from his character and career, Miss Reid guessed that he had sensed the growing distrust and tension and wanted to bring it into the open. Mr. Cordell Hull imme- diately denied State Department responsibility-.for Admiral Stan- ley’s interview. Miss Reid men- tioned the possibility that he may be recalled if the Russians resent it too much. Its veracity, however, has not yet been established; and if he did make it there is another possibility that he had an under- standing with -the Department. Faculty Show Over one thousand dollars will be given to some form of allied war relief from the proceeds of the Faculty Show. Of this sum about two hundred dollars came from the auction of posters and faculty papers. $227 worth of war stamps and bonds were sold at the per- formance. a ee Page Three THE COLLEGE NEWS ; 3 : | Art Club Gym Sanctum is Invaded by Male Species | Tleciivas To Religion Explained The.

Men, Costumes Lend Variety to Interhalt Basketball Matches “Variety is the spice of life” it is always said, and Bryn Mawr makes it true in the interhall bas- ketball games. The variety lies not only in the costumes, but in the Denbigh takes top hon- ors by having men in tunics, while Rock runs second with a warden on their team. A cheering section in cap and gown is also Denbigh’s claim. Cheers, songs, and poetic chants, all. composed extemporaneously, filled the air constantly. In the Pem-Rhoads game two men, a cow- bell, and two whistles added to the general din and literally stopped the playing. Imagination cropped up in the costume line with blue jeans, plaid shirts, and tunics vying in bril- liancy and atrocity. The resulting scores proved that the cheering had good effects. In the first game of players. _ the season Rock triumphed over B. M.

Bowing to Swarthmore in three doubles and one. singles match, the Owls often found it difficult even to score against their opponents. Swarthmore, combining neat drop shots with hard smashes, received little competition from Bryn Mawr. accurately and to play in close co- operation with their partners, the Swarthmore players eclipsed the Owls.

Miss Hanson will discuss trade agreements and problems of em- ployment in an open meeting of the United States Employment Service class. Miss Hanson has been a gradu- ate student of Economics and. stud- ied with the German trade unions at the period of the rise of Hitler. She spent two years in Germany studying the effect of Fascism on trade unions. She was Industrial Secretary of the Kensington YWCA and _then became Industrial Secretary of the entire Philadelphia YWCA. An organizer for ‘the Amalgamated!

In addition to her position of Executive Secretary, Miss Hanson is assistant to the THE ALLIANCE Now more than ever it is neces- sary that we have an intelligent understanding of the Americans south of the Rio Grande and that we know how their Republics are cooperating in winning the war. To promote friendship and this un- derstanding, the Office of Inter American Affairs is holding a na- tional discussion contest. At Bryn Mawr the contest is being sponsored by the War Alli- ance, which asks that all those in- terested prepare a written speech of no more than 1000 words on “How the American Republics are cooperating in winning the war.” The manuscripts of these speeches must be submitted to’ the Bryn Mawr judges (Miss. Reed,’ Dr. Asensio, and Miss Henderson) by March 24. If the winner of the Bryn Mawr contest is also winner of the Regional contest to be held in Columbus, Ohio, she will receive a summer trip to Mexico (all ex- penses paid). She will also at- tend the National Finals to be held on May 20 in New York City and a radio broadcast of the “Town Meeting of the Air” program.

Farm Work Project The Physical Education Depart- ment has recently been of a rural | turn of mind, with plans for a farm project well under way. By next week a definite program will be announced to the College. The idea of training women in a trac- tor school for less strenuous farm tasks was suggested by Mr. James Watson of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and representative of Agriculture in the employment field. Miss Petts is very anxious to have such a school at Bryn Mawr, for at present college women can offer only untrained _ service. “There is going to be a tremend- ous demandefor college women on farms this summer,” she stated. A Manager of Farming would be elected to the Athletic Association to conduct this new activity. Work- ing in close cooperation with Miss Petts, she would correspond to the managers of other sports.

In Italy, the most important - feature of Fascism is the position of the Duce and his dictatorial powers. Mussolini, at first a ‘“ren- egade socialist” heading a regime wighout any ideology, is now “The center of Fascist propaganda in the army, in the schools; in every walk of civilian life.’ His doc- trine, Miss Taylor said, included one of the most characteristic fea- tures of Fascism, “the identity of. party and state.” Attempting to renew the glory of ancient Rome, Mussolini insisted on the need for expansion; interpreted glorifica- tion of war ag Roman-made efforts to raise the birth rate. “The establishment of the Nazi party in control:of the state has been more thorough-going in Ger- many than in- Italy,” said Miss Taylor.

Penn tied the score with four minutes left to play. Fighting desparately for possession of the ball, both teams tried to shoot the tie-breaking basket. .As the min- utes passed, the tempo increased until it reached a terrific pace. But each team’s defense proved too strong for the on-rush of the for- wards and the winning basket was never made. Penn’s very aggressive forwards used tricky, well-timed passwork to rush the basket. When hard pressed by the Owl guards and passing became impossible, the Maroon team continued to toss in baskets from the edge of the court. Bryn Mawr’s. scoring came spasmodically. The Owls hit their) stride in the second quarter. Again in the fourth they came back with a long string of baskets, shooting one almost every minute.
