Littell, Assistant At- torney General in charge of the Division of Lands, declared that Mr. Willkie’s charges against the Administration concerning defense are erroneous in the extreme, his “misrepresentations of ‘fact so gross that on at least two occasions he himself has been compelled to retract them.” Mr. Littell stressed President Roosevelt’s realistic un- derstanding of America’s interna- tional relationships. To discharge the President now “would be like discharging the captain of a great ship _in_ mid-ocean. with a» storm raging, because his contract of em- ployment happened to expire at that point.” Mr. Willkie’s attacks on the Ad- ministration fér its defense pro- gram can be proven false, Mr. Lit- tell said, by the record of rearma- ment under President Roosevelt. “In 1932, as the Republican plat- form of that year said, our army had been reduced to an irreducible minimum, and by 1933 we had dropped from the first to the fourth ranking naval power in the world.” By the time of the crisis of May, 1940, the New Deal program had already resulted in the reconstruc- tion of the navy up to 395 fighting ships. These, together with 138 under construction, and 200 more for which appropriations have been de, add up to a total of 733 sin ships (as of September, 1940)—the largest navy in the world. It has also been charged against the New Deal, Mr. Littell said, that money has been spent need- lessly. Few people realize that a PWA fleet has been built since 19383—“a total naval force ‘which is the second largest in the West- ern Hemisphere, second only to the U. S. Navy itself.” In addition, ’PWA and WPA money helped to build army and navy planes, mili- tary airports, aeronautical labora- Continued on Page Six Victory The Activities Drive was a success. and the total sum has finally gone over. the 5000 dollar mark.

Although equal space will be given to both political parties throughout the rest of the paper, the political editorials will not be impartial and do not represent the unanimous opinion of the staff. : Willkie | New Deal supporters criticize Mr. Willkie for making issues out of “mere methods.” We see no objection to the aims of the Roosevelt administration as represented by social reform, govern- ment supervision of -public utilities and relief for the unemployed. We are glad Mr. Willkie does not adhere to the mid-Victorian attitude which the Republican party has held in the past but instead supports the principal aims of the New Deal. We find fault with the Roosevelt Democrats in the means by which they seek to achieve their ends and believe this is a funda- mental difference, not just a superficial one. The present admin- istration_desired_to help _labor_obtain_its_necessary_rights. The idea was good but the New Deal in its support of labor propagated to an extreme degree the attitude of the “big, bad, business man.” _ The New Deal did not consider that the overly-defensive and un- cooperative attitude of business would hit labor just as hard as the lack of collective bargaining power. Right now we need desperately a government that both business and labor will work with and through. Changing laws and fumbling experiments are ruinous to business confidence, a vague enough wisp at any time. The bit- terness of class feeling, greatly aggravated in the struggle of the last eight years, makes cooperation between business and labor al- most impossible. & “ = The Shelton for years has been the New York headquarters for college women . for the Shelton provides the club atmosphere to which discerning college women are accustomed.

The procession of sophomores carried light, blue lan- terns and gave them to 125 fresh- men, far less than the number who received green ones last year. In an effort to keep: reasonably warm, the participants changed the required whitg~ uiyeRses to. “fany reasonable facsimile”’. White sweaters, were put on top of two and three layers of other clothing, and even, white bath towels held up by monstrous safety pins were used to give the necessary _illu- sion. Mittens of all colors, even orange, were worn, but carefully concealed..

Stans Impressed by Graduated Chama Returning Alumnae Recall Dear Dead Days By Alice Crowder, *4 Observing alumnae eins for Alumnae Week- end solemnly declared this year’s crop of seniors to be a “fine looking bunch of girls.” The seniors on'their side were deeply impressed. Looking forward to their future status, those in Denbigh have invented a new game called the Alumnae Bul- letin game. “Jane Smith (Mar- garet Jones) is now living in New York. She wants. you all to come and.see her.” ‘Susie Jane Read (Suzanne Maker) has just return- ed from Egypt. She is not doing anything now but she has two fine boys who keep her busy.’’—only by these quotations can we adequately describe it. There is another game even more amorphous called the Miss Wyckoff Begins Lectures on Science Continued from Pazge*One ice. Later the lLapidaries in- creased the list of known stones, endowing some with the mystical power of driving off demons, others of keeping house-robbers away. Scholastic philosophers in the Mid-. dle Ages believed the earth was derived from stars, or again from the action of a lapidyfying juice. In the 16th century geology was interpreted in terms of the Bible. In his Neptunian thory Abra- ham Werner tried to form univer- sal hypotheses from observations of one locality. He believed that a receding world ocean had left firm sediment on the tops of mountains and, since it had reached the lower regions more recently, had left them gravelly. His teaching in- fluenced most of the continental geologists of the 17th century. The Neptunian theory’s potency died when controversial points con- cerning basalt as a deposit of the world ocean were raised.. James Hutton and John Playfair led the revolt..in- Seotland.. They proved their theories from direct observa- tions. According to their conclu- sions, the evolution of the earth moved in grand cycles. Weather wasted the earth away and when rivers ran to the oceans they de- posited sediments which were con- tinually pressed deeper by new de- posits on top. ‘By earth move- ments these rocks wete lifted above the sea where the: weather- ing processes began again. , “There are no signs of a beginning, no signs of an end.” Recently chemical experiments have been supplementing field ob- servation This opened ‘the new field of geo-chemistry. nee GOING TO A GAME “ OUT OF TOWN?

Louise Sharp, erstwhile president of the Self-Government Association, promptly forgot to sign out and was much befuddled when, return- ing late at night, she discovered her illegal position. Several of these new alumnae were rather taken aback to be greeted with “What are you doing here all the time?” by undergraduate friends. Two members of the class of 1911 when asked their. impression of the college as it is now said they liked the undergraduates yery much in- deed, but were shocked to find them working in the Library on Satur- days and Sundays. Obligingly they reminisced over the days when tak- ing an oral was the biggest event in one’s college career, to which one wore her cap and gown and best white dress to recite an oral orally to three judges on throne- like red velvet chairs and sang an oral song like “O I wish that I were dead in a cold hard bed, with a little Bryn Mawr daisy nodding gently o’er my head.” “No matter what happens to the student body” one alumna was heard to remark at the breakfast table, “the college itself will al- ways improve.” Rev. Donald B. Aldvich Holds Chapel Services Goodhart, October 20. — The Reverend Donald B. Aldrich, rec- tor of the Church of the Ascension in New York City, conducted chapel on Sunday, October 20. He discussed the subject of “re-creat- ing Jesus.”’ We should do this, he said, by leading lives based on Christian principles. Doctor Aldrich also said that we should not try to defend the church in these critical times, but. simply to present it to others, for the church is capable of defending it- self.

LEXING EW YORK ary > & Alumnae Conferences Held in Library Wing Continued from Page One ofthe Bryn Mawr expedition to Tarsus in 1934, since we are cut off from Europe, For the future, emphasis will have to be laid on the work in Southwest America, and in our museums, Mr. ‘Carpenter gave an account of the work done by Bryn Mawr graduates. Forty students have been trained, and they “have left their mark upon our profession.” Three great museums have them on their staffs. Many have important teaching positions, and in actual excavation _they—have* worked at fourteen different sites. Several have become authorities and have made important contributions to the study of archaeology. In describing the advantages of the New Wing, Mr. Sloane pointed out that one drawback of the form- er method of teaching had been the inadequacy of the black and white photograph. The Eastern company of Rochester has recently develop- ed a method of photographing works of art in their original colors. These slides are to be used in the lectures from now on. The direction of the department Mr. Sloan referred to as a great responsibility. His problem lies in two directions, to the undergradu- ate first and to the graduate. The undergraduate’ curriculum is de- signed to give a thorough, connect- ed view of western art. With such an_ undergraduate course the student should be able to go into the graduate study. The graduate course divides its work into two parts. The seminar offers a@ means of research, of criticism, of handling bibliography and evi- dence. The greatest part of the work falls on the graduate herself outside of the seminar. The de- partment is hoping to offer in- struction in teaching and a labora- ‘Latin Class Happy, No Lines Yet Spoken, X-Rays Only Scenery The Latin play, All This and Plautus, Too, is progressing quite well, considering. no one knows her lines,’ and the X-ray machine is very much in the way of the east’s extensive gestures.

What is important is to try to work out adjustments and _ solu- tions of the-economic problems in a democratic way. And for this I see more hope in the Democratic Party. Finally, about unity, featured by the Republican candidate. The dangers of dis-unity are obvious, I wish the dangers of unity were as obvious. Because for most of us the idea of unity has a strong emo- tional appeal, we need to remind ourselves that unity, and its twin, uniformity, are most quickly and completely achieved under totali- tarian governments. JI don’t be- lieve that Mr..Willkie wants totali- tarian uniformity, but neither do I believe that he can deliver all the unity he so lavishly promises.

I want (1) to state my reasons for urging the continuance of the two Oral requirements, (2) to attempt to explain inadequacies of the present system, and (3) to make a suggestion. Familiarity with modern lan- guages cannot but prove valuable after college whether in graduate work, reading for pleasure or col- loquial use of the language. It seems shortsighted not to make the most of the opportunity to learn a new language and to gain greater competency in another. The system as it now stands is a satisfactory one if the only object is to test one’s knowledge of two languages before graduation. There are seven chances to pass the German Oral, for example, by the middle of Senior year if one takes beginning German Freshman year, and there are still three chances |if it is taken Junior year. Examinations will never encompass everything but they—still seem the fairest way to test our understand- ing of the language; even though some students feel that fluency is enough. However if the main reason for taking language examinations is to make it possible for students to use French and German (or Spanish and Italian) books as reference material for advanced work in their Junior and.Senior years, the system is inadequate. .28%. of the Senior-@lass had failed to pass one of the “Orals’, and 5.5% to pass both, by the end of their Junior} + | 76% have not attempted or have failed Of this failed to year, to pass one of the Orals. number, 20% have ass both. This must mean that] no reading will be assigned Jynior year which does not permit al- ternative reading in English. Senior year either less foreign reading will be assigned, or ‘the fuller amounts will not be as well done. But I do not medn to imply that the Language Departments should revise their grading standards in order that more undergraduates can pass the Orals by the beginning of their Junior year. Both Orals need to be taken seriously the first time. Figures from the Recorder’s Office show that this is largely the case. On the first attempt, 50% of both the Juniors and the Seniors passed the German Oral; 66% of the Seniors and 50% of the Juniors passed the French. But these figures do not indicate how many students have made no attempt up to, and including, -the Fall examination of their Junior year. 24% and 17% of the Junior Class have not tried the French and German Orals_ respectively.

The responsibility ‘for the fact’ that more was not done, Mr. Littell | said, “must be placed exactly where. it belongs—on Congress.” . In 1935, Congress refused an expenditure of 600 million dollars for national defense. As recently as the winter of 1939, President Roosevelt’s re- quest for one billion 300 million dollars for defense was cut one- third by the Senate. : “Let there be no mistake,’ said Mr. Littell, “as to where leader- “ship lay in facing the international situation realistically.” In 1937 Republican opposition denounced President Roosevelt’s Chicago speech in which he said that peace could only be. obtained by quaran- tining the aggressor nation. Rough® ly speaking, even after the Nether- lands fell, “the majority of Re- | publicans have voted against de- fense measures and the majority of Democrats voted for them.” The Republican Representatives gave 54 of the 58 votes against the 1940 naval appropriations bill. When the-1940 Army appropriations bill was considered, four amendments to decrease appropriations were proposed by the Republicans, and of the 150 votes in favor of these reductions, 145 were Republican. As an example of the way in which the whole defense program is being—earried out since the re- cent large appropriations have been approved, Mr. Littell dis- cussed the work of his own depart- ment, the. acquisition of land for national defense purposes. The largest section of the Puerto Rico air base was acquired. in seven and a half days and the largest naval emergency base on the Pacific Coast, on Ter- |spring of 1941, and 36,000 a year in 1942. Even with plant expan- sion under way, this operation will by spring be turning out one plane in every 90 minutes.” Automatic rifles are being produced now at the rate of 2000 a week. Stand- ard equipment, such as clothing, is being delivered in great quantities. It is unfortunate at a time like this, Mr. Littell declared, that Mr. Willkie, whether or not he wel- comes them into his camp, joins himself with Colonel Lindbergh and others in shouting “dictator” at President Roosevelt. “We ought to ‘remember that the same epithet was hurled at every effective Amer- ican President—Washington, Jef- ferson, Monroe, Lincoln.” Mr. Willkie and his supporters have charged that the President dictated his own nomination at the convention in Chicago. “Never be- fore did a political convention in ‘American history meet in a more unanimous frame of mind, with over 85 per cent of the delegates definitely instructed by preferen- tial primaries to vote for a third term,” There are three factors which should be considered on the ques- tion of a third term. First, that the question was thoroughly dis- cussed at the Constitutional Con- vention in 1787, and “the door was left open.” Second, that Washing- ton and others of the founding fathers were not opposed to a third term for-“the-very reason that we A Breath from the Woods of Maine FALL and HOLIDAY DECORATIONS Red Berries 25c per bunch Bayberry 35¢ per bunch Wreaths 35c and up Greens of all kinds.
