Education Must Prepare
Women for Problems

Of Today

Academy of Music, March 17.—
In an address at the presentation
of the Philadelphia Award to

Marian Anderson, Miss Park dis-
cussed one of the fundamental pur-
poses of education for women.
“Education should prepare the
young human being for civilized,
living,” and one way to do this, said
Miss Park, is by an eight year
period of formal learning.

The increased complexity of mod-
‘ern society necessitates something
more than the hit or miss educa-
tion given to girls a hundred years
ago. In 1941 we find that we are
unable “to answer successfully the
major routine problems of civilized
living,” and it is for this that the
younger generation must be train-
ed. Girls, as well as men, will be
faced with baffling problems in the
years to come. High school and
college education must give them
reliable preparation.

A girl must learn “a certain set
of facts and a certain set of tech-
niques because she is going to be
her children’s mother,” and she

must also learn a set of facts and

The New Schedule

Friday afternoon classes
have been adopted for next
year because:

Cooperation with Haver-
ford and Swarthmore make it
necessary for our classes to
meet every other day, follow-
ing their system.

' Gaturday classes, which are
alternative to Friday after-
noons, were discussed, and
finally rejected by the fac-
ulty.

Curriculum Board »
yuggests A Revision
In Schedule of Work

 

Common Room, March 13.—At
the open forum on curriculum held
by the student Curriculum Com-
mittee, both faculty and students
discussed ,the problems of Thanks-
giving, long papers, mid-years, and
quizzes. To help solve the last
three problems, the committee pre-
sented a new schedule for the year.
| . Feeling that mid-years make an
unnatural break in the year, that
they invariably occur at the time
lof the: most illness, and that -the
' two-week period of mid-years
‘might better be devoted to inde-

 

| pendent work, the committee has +

ilaid out a plan whereby mid-years
are replaced by a two-week read-
ing period at the end of February.
Under this plan there would be a
week of quizzes before each vaca-
tion, and three hour finals in June.
The reading period would be a time
when students could write papers,
upperclassmen could do extra work
in their major fields, and there
would be more conferences and
seminars with the faculty.

One of the chief objections to
this plan, that a first semester
course would have no final exami-
nation, Mrs. Manning thought
could be settled by having one year
courses the norm, and one semester
courses followed in the next term
by another similar’one. The prob-
lem that the final examination
would be too comprehensive could
be resolved by having the student
responsible for only general knowl-
edge of the first half year’s work.
Other objections made were that,
unchecked, the reading period
might become a “glorified vaca-
tion,” and that if, as the commit-
tee proposed, faculty checked up
onthe students during that time,
the conferences might become too
much like oral examinations.

About Thanksgiving the commit-
tee, expressing what is generally
felt to be the undergraduates’ opin-
ion, proposed that either it should
be made a vacation, or all students
should stay at college. The fran-
tic coming and going was thought
to be more demoralizing than a

| Hedgerow Repertory Theatre is Organized
~ As Leading Co-Operative Actors’ Community

 

The Hedgerow Theatre was
started in 1923, when Jasper
Deeter rebelled against Broadway

methods and gave up a promising |

career to start what has since be-
come the foremost repertory thea-
tre in America. The last Gighteen
years at the theatre have been the
story of a dictator overthrowing
himself.

The theatre began in the old
community center in Media. The
first summer, Mr. Deeter brought
friends down froni New York on
week-ends to give plays with the
valley people. Gradually he es-
tablished.a permanent;company of
resident actors, but all the man-
aging and directing was in his
hands, During the last five years
Mr. Deeter has worked just as
hard giving authority to other
members of the company as he
worked in the beginning directing
them. -

A.board of twelve now chooses

Hedgerow at least five years. They
operate in much the same way as
a Brook Farm, with box office re-
turns being used first for stage
equipment, royalties and costumes,
then for food—“sometimes we’re
reduced to eating turnip greens,
one member of the cast said.” The
personal needs and pleasure of the
players are paid for if there is
any money left. If one of the
company wants to go to New York
for a week-end, he looks in the
treasury; if there’s enough money,
he goes, if there isn’t he thinks of
a cheaper amusement.

Because the theatre does. not. be-
lieve in the star system, the actor
who plays Hamlet one night, may
be moving scenery the next, and
playing a comedy bit part the next.

the plays, and takes turns directing
and casting them. There are now
twenty-seven resident members
who are all supported wholly by
the box office returns. They live
in a large house near the theatre
and do all the house work as well
as the more menial stage tasks.

Propaganda Methods
And Trade Relations
Stressed by Lozada

Common Room, March 16.—In
December and January, Senor En-
rique de Lozada, professor of Po-
litical Sciénce at Williams College,
returned to South America for the
first time in two and a half years.
“The most important changes I no-
ticed,” he said were a tremendous
rise in Anti-Semitic feeling, which
had been practically non-existent
before, and an increasing self-con-
sciousness of their economic prob-
lems in relation to the large powers
of the world.

The anti-semitic attitude, Senor
de Lozada explained, was most
prevalent in Bolivia because the
biggest influx of Jews is concen-
trated there. Because they have
had no previous agricultural train-
ing they congregate in the cities
setting up small businesses. This
not only creates serious problems
of housing and increases compe-
tition, but it overb&lances the eco-
nomic structure which is dependent
on exports because these shop-
keepers consume but create noth-
ing exportable.

Three years ago only the oblig-
archial families whose position de-
pended on the concept of blood su-
periority were interested in Nazi-
ism; all other leaders were vio-
.lently opposed. Today through the
anti-semitic temper of the middle
class merchants all groups are
drifting toward fascist concepts.
“By this method of hatred, Nazi-

ism is penetrating to the masses.

: Concerning Curriculum

The open forum, held by the Curriculum Committee, plunged
bravely into the pro’s and con’s of a revised schedule. The new
schedule proposed would eliminate mid-years, and would provide
for two quiz periods, one preceding Christmas and one preceding
spring vacation, The two week period now allotted to mid-years
would constitute a reading period, during which freshmen would
write long papers and other students would be assigned individual
research. Conferences at the end of this reading period would pre-
vent a ski-train exodus from college. At the end of the year, three
hour-examinations would be held in each course.

The discussion following this proposal-either tacitly assumed,
or somehow neglected the objectives of learning. For the new
plan involves more than a change in schedule. It allows a more flex-
ible approach to the problems implied in any course; it provides an
opportunity for constructive learning,

If one professor’s statement : “Some of my best students never
do a bit of work until the day before the quiz” holds true, something
is wrong somewhere. Constant emphasis on quizzes, to the detri-
ment of responsible class discussion is the mark of mechanical

the importance of any course could be brought out in the final
exam. Review for this need not-be cramming, for such an exam
could not concern unrelated facts. Rather, it would afford the
student an opportunity for a considered intelligent review in which
she could see the year’s course as a proportionate whole. People
might stop storming professors with “are we responsible for—?”
Professors and students might stop playing a game of catch with
some_well-worn set of notes.

Too much of our learning is passive; too much of it is tradi-
tional, inherited by each Bryn Mawr generation without question.
That undergraduates can think—that they can do creative thinking
—has been demonstrated by the success of Swarthmore’s seminar
system. In the two-week readirig period, the student would be re-
sponsible for bringing the tools of analysis, which she has acquired,
to bear on some pertinent problem in the course. But why limit the
fruits of this work to individual conferences as suggested by the
committee _._Why not pool the acquired knowledge? Students
could prepare for seminars which might transcend departmental
lines. The seminar classes could be scheduled as often during the
two-week period as is found practicable. Individual conferences
could add to the plan, but ought not constitute a basis for marking.

If exam terror were dispersed, if a semester’s mark were no
longer locked within a blue book’s pages, such independent work,
such important group discussion, would receive a great and needed
impetus.

think it would be excellent train-

average student accepted the com-
prehensive system from the very
beginning, she would be better

Necessity fér High Synergy
_As Shown by Dr. Benedict
¥: Is Stressed

 

To the Editor of the COLLEGE
NEWS:

I read with much interest your
account of Dr. Ruth Benedict’s lec-
ture of March 10, published in your
last issue. I-hope you will allow
me to clarify one or two points
which seemed to me to be a little
obscure.. In connection with min-
ority groups, Dr. Benedict makes
the point that one part of the popu-
lation is often singled out for un-
favorable treatment or criticism,
as a scapegoat for the difficulties
faced by the society as a whole.
By attributing all or most of the
blame to them, the rest of the so-
ciety (and notably the real of-
fenders) escapes responsibility.
This situation may occur when no
one at all is to blame; during a
drought or a famine, for instance,
it is well-known that people lose
fai in their old leaders and

choose new ones, even in civil-

ized countries where the absence

| seeking.

| Qn the other hand, as you point
Teese equally artificial divisions are
created on a basis of special priv-
‘ilege, depending on such attributes
as wealth, family, or even many
characteristics that strike us as
trivial.

Dr. Benedict was emphatic in
stat'ng that the nature of these
groups was culturally determined—
and that the existence of a min-
ority group was evidence of con-
flict within the society; in: societies
with high synergy and few sources
of disagreement, they do not occur.
But although they are not inevit-
able, the existence of these groups
and these conflicts is dangerous to
our society ‘and to democracy. We
| have therefore the task of recon-
ciling our differences, and increas-
ing the “areas of mutual advan-
tage” within which the whole so-
ciety has common interests, so that
the need for a scapegoat no longer
remains.

I would not take up space in re-
peating an ‘argument much of
which has already been adequately
stated, if I did not think that Dr.
Benedict’s lecture was‘ important
in helping us to understand the
problems we are now facing. The
direction of public dissatisfaction
towards groups who are only par-
tially or’ not at all active in the
situations for which they are held
responsible, makes true compre-
hension of the position more diffi-
cult, and delays introduction of the
necessary reforms, as well as con-
stituting an unjust attack upon in-
nocent persons.

Yours sincerely,
JUDITH STEPHEN.

Kings’ Masque by Evan John
Gives Superficial Survey
Of 18th Century —

Kings’ Masque, by Evan John,
is a skillful but superficial history
of the late 18th century. In a
novel of moderate length, the au-
thor has managed to touch upon

 

 

all the great names in this period .
‘anid to make a Tapid-survey of the--"

prominent European cities, with a
brief glance at America. The story
is told ‘in a Series of short epi-
sodes+.which highlight the most
important events from 1781 to
1792.

The monarchs of France and
Sweden receive the main emphasis,

while Count Axel Fersen, Marie
Antoinette’s lover and a Swed-
ish subject, provides the link be-
tween the two countries. The pres-
entation of Louis XVI and his
Queen is on the whole disappoint-
ing. They are the conventional
well-intentioned but ill-fated pair;
the author offers no new or addi-
tional interpretatoin.

In contrast, Gustavus III, “the
king of the coup d’etat,” is bril-
liantly drawn. The supreme irony
of the book lies in the ultimate fate
of these two monarchs: Louis, the
plaything of the nobles, is executed
by his people while Gustavus, the
people’s king, is assassinated by
jealous aristocrats.

This period in Swedish history
has been somewhat neglected by
the historical novelist. In Kings’
Masque, however, the Swedish epi-
sodes seem less factual, more in-
tense and full of import than the
French scenes. Of course, the au-
thor is at a disadvantage in his
presentation of the French Revolu-
tion, for the plan of his novel does
not permit more than a hasty view
of the most vital events, which are
already familiar to the average
reader.

Mr, John’s exposition is not with-
out value, however. His accurate
detail forms a rich and varied back-
ground; his minor characters, such
as the king’s brothers, become flesh
and blood beings, not historical
mannequins. Although the author
continually refers to the Revolu-
tion as “the Great Beast ready to
spring,” and omits none of the
more terrible sequences of its de-
velopment, he fails to create any
powerful sense of horror or bru-
tality. A bright haze pervades the
scene: a sense of looking at the
past and not living in it, colors
his whole picture.

Benedict Discusses
Morale As Analagous
With High Synergy

Goodhart Hall, Monday, March
17.—Dr. Ruth Benedict brought to
a close the series of Anna Howard
Shaw lectures by applying the
comparative study of societies to
the basis of morale.

Morale, she said, is the product
of the individual or internal atti-
Audes..and..theexternal.-social. fac:
tors. If individual participation is
sustained and reinforced, the mor-
ale of the society will be good.
Participation .may be enforced by
“naked force” or by consent of the
governed.

Good social synergy is the term |
applied when private activities co-
incide with the public interest. The |

 

 

public gain became a “laissez-
faire” slogan, but it produces good
morale if the public gain reaches |
all participants in the enterprise.
Working for a public undertaking
does not mean self-sacrifie. In-
stead, sharing of abilities is the
condition of good synergy; but syn-
ergy need not mean an elimination
of prestige and economic differ-
ences.

There are specific conditions for
good and bad morale. Wherever
individual humiliation is found,
morale is damaged. Not poverty
but its humiliation produces moral
reprobates. The avoidance of hu-
miliating institutions, or the pro-
viding*of a counter-action for these
institutions, will avert poor: syn-
ergy and provide a road to high
morale.

The counter-action should be
within the reach of all; in this
way, the humiliating situation can
provide an incentive to increased
participation. A man who is un-
employed should be motivated to
action by the shame of his position,
but if, as in our society, there is
no way out he will be in a state of
dangerous helplessness.

The democratic way out of hu-
miliation is the guarantee of lib-
erty. Liberty does not mean ab-
sence of government; it-means free
opportunities for talents and con-
victions. Such counter-actions: as
labor unions and other active, or-
ganized uses of the Bill of Rights,
make for good synergy.
® In reference to the present con-
flict, Dr. Benedict stressed the in-

_ ternational importance of discus-
sions of morale. War in primitive
tribes is not necessarily an upset
of prevailing conditions, either be-
cause the tribes are self-sufficient,
or because they make arrangements
for commerce in spite of the war.
When, as in the present war,
belligerent nations interrupt im-
portant economic. relations, they
are, said Dr. Benedict, “cutting off
their nose to spite their face.”

War is a result of group devo-

 

mocracy work” is the problem of
directing group devotion toward
peace-time synergy.

‘Model League Group
Will Attempt to Suggest
Future World Order

Specially Contributed
By Georgia Trainer, ’41

 

 

The Fifteenth Annual Session of
the Middle Atlantic Model League
Assembly, meeting at Lehigh,

March 28-29, will attempt to make
concrete suggestions for the con-
struction of a new world order to
be.established at the close of the
present World War. The assump-
tion of the agenda is that in March,
1941, a total victory will not have
been won by either side in ‘the
present, conflict.

The agenda is approached from
the point of view of regionalism—
the trend in the ‘Preparatory
Peace Conference” held last year.
Thus the conference will divide up
into four commissions; three of
which are limited «geographic re-
gions — the Inter-American, the
European (which includes Africa
and the Near East), the Far East-
ern.. The fourth is the Global com-
mission, containing one representa-
tive from each country repre-
sented; it will discuss problems
common to all states and regions.

Bryn Mawr is representing the
“United States” and thus will have
delegates on all the commissions
except the European. Delegates
were chosen from the International
Relations Club on the basis of
knowledge, interest and experience.

Georgia Trainer, chairman, ‘41;
Jane Maier, ’42, Rosalind Wright,
44, Mary E. Brown, °42, Edith
Annin, ’43, Constance Murphy, ’42,.

Rosalind Wright will be secre-
tary to the Inter-American Com-
mission. Nancy Chase, ’42, and
Rosalind Shulman, ’44, are going
along as observers.

Preparation for the Assembly
has been.under the guidance of Miss
Helen Reid and Mr. Heilperin.

 

Brilliant Second Team

Gymnasium, March 15, — The

Bryn Mawr Second Team played) %

a magnificent game of basketball
to win over Rosemont, 36-26. The
Bryn Mawr sextet held their lead
throughout the game because they
maintained a steady pace. Spec-
tacular pivoted shots by Finger,
’42, dependable short ones by Nor-
ton, 42 and Kirk, ’44, combined
with sure passing by the guards
were responsible for the well-earn-
ed victory.

Distinguished Editors

of the News Depart.

in Their Distinction

ne
City Desk

Her first years on the News, ex-
editor Susie was distinguished for
her industry, silence, and tan Fox-
croft skirt. Her silence can be ex-
plained by the serious warning of
an upperclassman who told Susie
that. any. Freshman who. spoke at

~~ ymieetings was immediately asked to} ie

resign. The silence didn’t last
long, and the Foxcroft skirt, which
people got awfully tired of looking
at, was replaced by bluejeans when
she became News editor. As editor-
in-chief she made herself very pop-
ular by sharing her food with any-
one around who looked even re-
motely hungry. She took up smok-
ing, and in the early hours of the
morning, to the consternation of
her friends, the process of Susie’s
slow strangulation would begin.
Though she herself never had time
to read them, she brought eco-
nomics books with her regularly,
and other News members have
gained a firm, if somewhat dis-

gathered from reading the first
chapter of each book at dull mo-
ments.

At home she hunts and shoots
and has been known to ride through
a barbed wire fence. Last week-
end she went home to recuperate
from an evening at MclIntyre’s
where she went with Virginia Sher-
wood to recuperate from three
years on the News.

The Man in the Slot

Few people remember Ginny
Sherwood in the hey day before
she became copy editor, before her
characteristic gesture became that
of grabbing things away from peo-
ple to rewrite them. That there
was such.a time can only be sur-
mised from her enthusiastic state-
ment concerning her first days on
the News: “Oh, I was divine. I
was a typical freshman. That was
the time those people came and
said, ‘Don’t you want to be a typ-
ical freshman?’ So I said, “Yes.”
So I appeared all over the Evening
Bulletin with my mouth wide open.”

She was so careful of the first
NEwS for which she was copy edi-
tor that she didn’t go to bed until
morning. Standards, after that,
dropped rapidly to the 10.30 level.
Of her non-executive activities the
writing of Wit’s End with Vir-
ginia Nichols was most prominent.
Perhaps the formula by which it
was written can serve as explana-
tion for the fact that it is under-
stood by the select few. ‘We write
just what everyone would expect,”
the carefree authors once remarked.
“But we write it backwards and
then a write it copeeaneeta so that

was suggested that it is perhaps
mature to have.to plan your work,

The forum ended with a discus-
sion of quizzes. Here the faculty
was split, some thinking them un-

students, and others feeling them
to be the only way to keep even
the best students up in their work.

Rosemont Smothers

Bryn Mawr Varsity

 

Saturday, March 15.—Rosemont
completely smothered the Bryn
Mawr Varsity in a one-sided con-
test ending at 46-21. The visitors
had command of their plays, and
made it impossible for their op-
ponents to free themselves from
close guarding. The fast Rose-
monters easily intercepted the un-
organized Bryn Mawr passes.
The Varsity was undone by the
opposing forwards who successfully
cut under the basket, making most
of their goals on this play. The
Bryn Mawr forwards consistently
missed opportunities for shooting
and their passing could not pene-
trate to the basket. In the second
half the game evened up slightly,
Bryn Mawr extricating itself to
shoot more often. Hardenbergh,
43, topped the scoring for Bryn
Mawr with fourteen points. But
Bryn Mawr’s inadaptability to
close guarding prevented any real
scoring for the home team.

The Badminton Team has recent-

extending the match to three sets.

Bryn Mawr defeated Drexel In-

close, with Matthai, ’43, Boal, ’42
and Foote, ’43, in particularly good
form. The team also played mixed
doubles at Haverford. ~-

an-—-unlimited—— possibility in _ the
Lease-Lend Bill of ‘additional aid
to belligerents, providing Congress
makes the appropriations. A ‘bill
for an appropriation of: seven bil-

lion dollars is now before the
House.
The reaction abroad to the

passage of the Lease-Lend Bill,
Miss Reid said, has been as antici-!
pated. The most important effect
‘will probably be the stiffening at-
titudes of Turkey, Jugoslavia and
uncertain countries. The
President’s recent speech, which
committed us unreservedly ‘to com-
plete support of Great Britain,
looms more important than the Bill,
and for a country still maintaining
{diplomatic relations with Germany,
it was remarkable.

Among the problems arising with
the National Defense Program. is
that of strikes. There hae been
many serious. strikes recently,
which may precipitate government
intervention.

Turning to the British campaign
in Africa, Miss Reid said that it
was becoming serious for the Axis,

 

which had counted on using bases |
in the Italian colonies in Africa
for an offensive against Great,

Britain. With the success of this
recent campaign, the attitude of

the British has begun to shift from
defensive to offensive. mae

Our foreign trade this year, said
Miss Reid, is almost all with Great
Britain and her dominions. Trade
with South America has decreased;
we have none with Germany and
most of the Continent. In the post-
war reconstruction period, this
shift of trade will be an important
consideration, . for “the change

 

caused by the release of the pres-
sure of the war will create a dis-
turbance.

In Latin America the Nazi
propaganda has been to a great ex-

Some countries have taken meas-

Hedgerow. The Spewacks of Boy
Meets Girl fame had two of their
earlier plays produced when they
were part of the Hedgerow com-
pany. Plays are scheduled eight-
een months in advance to give
plenty of time for rehearsals, which
have to be staggered between per-
formances of the plays being given
at the time. :

Mr. Minnick voiced the opinion
of the whole company when he said,
“We are doing what we want to do,
because we want to do it more than
we want to make money.” Some
plays are chosen because they have
\. box office appeal and others are
\chosen because the company wants
to do them. Audiences average
about 110 a performance, but one
night this winter in the midst of
a terrific storm the Hedgerow
players performed Macbeth before
an audience of two Haverford
boys.

 

Miss Hansen Exposes
A buse of Civil Rights

Wednesday, March 12. — /Miss
Alice Hansen, editor of a publica-
tion of the United Textile Workers
of Philadelphia and former instruc-
‘tor of the Bryn Mawr Summer
School, spoke to the Industrial
Group on Civil Liberties. She
warned against the present tend-
ency to violate individual rights in
the restriction of labor. “As far
as production is concerned, we are
in the war now,” she said. “Action
against labor is assuming the place
in public opinion which it held
during the last war.”

In the last war labor was merely
restricted by an agreement between
labor leaders and the government,
that strikes would, as far as pos-
sible, be prevented. Today, labor
is much more highly organized.
Public opinion is forcing the intro-
duction of legislation such as the
proposed bills to restrict strikes in
defense industries, acts against
the Communist Party, and the
Alien Registration Act which, in

 

letter or spirit, interfere with the,

rights of the individual as set forth
in the federal constitution. An at-
tack on civil liberties is tolerated
in war time or time of national de-
fense when it would not be toler-
ated in peace time. Since the legal
protection’. against governmental
infringements of rights is more cer-
tain than that against infringe-
ments by ‘self constituted groups
such as the American Legion, ac-
tion should be taken against the
former; particularly at this time.

Lozada Shows German
Influence in S. America

 

Sontinued. fron: Page One

Senor de Lozada described the
invasion in
South America as. a “planting of
high type yo&ng men in small busi-
nesses all over the continent.”
They concentrate on fostering na-
tive quarrels such as the boundary
dispute between Equador and Peru
as a possible basis for a flare up
should it become necessary to. di-
vert the attention of the United
States from the European war.

Because the Germans have -been
in South America so long, they are
the best representatives the large
American corporations can employ.
In Bolivia, thesnumber one Nazi is
a General Motors representative;
much of the Nazi propaganda is
paid for by American funds. In
Equador the papers are controlled
by Nazi policies so that .one out-
standing writer who is very pro-
United States, can get no articles
published of a political character.

In the past, the United States
has had two policies toward the
South American countries: offer-
ing loans, which Senor Lozada call-
ed bribery and supplying arms.
Since 1930, these countries have be-
come interested in their national
economics, realizing that the influx
of foreign capital creates artificial
booms which undermine their weak
economic structures and cause de-
pression.

Senor de Lozada believes the only
policy which would be advantage-
ous to the United States would be
to develope trade relations which

icans would be permanent. These
countries realize that for the next
hundred years they will be de-
pendent on trade with some foreign
power. They do not care which one
it is. They have none of our fear
of the disaster inherent in a Ger-
man victory, for they have always
found-the Germans the least predi-
tory of their masters.

“The United States must assume
its logical leadership and respon-
sibility by solving the problems of
this hemisphere which are compara-
tively simple as compared to those

Alumnae Association
To Meet in Baltimore

 

The Council of the Bryn Mawr
Alumnae Association will hold its
annual meeting next week-end in
Baltimore.
tives from the college, including

Several representa-
members of the faculty, the gradu-
ate and the undergraduate schools,
are planning to attend. Besides
holding business sessions, the Coun-
cil will discuss various phases of
the college with speakers repre-
senting different points of view.
The meeting will open Friday
morning with a business session at
which Nancy J. Offutt, 1920, chair-
man of the Baltimore Committee
for the Council, will welcome the
members. In the afternoon dele-
gates from Bryn Mawr will speak
on different phases of the college.
Representing Bryn Mawr are Mrs.
Chadwick-Collins, Miss- Northrop

from the faculty, Karin Judith
Stephen, representing the graduate
school, Marion Gill, ’40, and Helen
McIntosh, ’41, who will speak from
the undergraduate point of view.
Another business session will be
held Saturday, and in the evening

Aquabelles Will Swim
*Mid Lighted Candles

Billy Rose has nothing on Bryn

Mawr. At 8.15 on Saturday night
Miss Yeager, several of the swim-
ming classes, and some of the Var-
sity squad are going to put on an
Aquacade to rival the World’s Fair
version. Form swimmers will
swim in formation while the band
plays gay Strauss ‘waltzes: Un-
dines undulating to dreamy
rhythms. Stunt groups will swim
in-unbelievably-complicated..ways.
There will be color, variety, ac-
tion. There will be lighting effects.
And costumes.

The finale: a dark pool. At the
end there are only the long, long
candles, swimming bravely’ in
clenched hands:

The score, or the choreography,
or whatever the technical term is,
contains no premeditated humor.
But anything may happen; in the
rehearsals everyone drowned at
least once.

of the world,” asserted Senor de
Lozada. He believes that we should
not only cement trade relations, but
adopt the German methods—of
propaganda by sending down young
Americans to live in these South-
ern countries. “A thousand young
men and women sent down to carve
out careers for themselves perhaps
in partnership with natives in
South America would do more for
our national defense than five bat-
tleships,” he added.

Until we show that we can handle
the problems of this hemisphere,
we have no right to take part in
solving the very much more diffi-
cult .world problems, Senor de
