XL, NO. 10 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1943 Copyright, ' rustees of Rryvn Mawr Colleee, 1943 PRICE 10 CENTS MacKinnon Notes Psychological Role Of War in Society Rate of Neuroticism Lower Among Civilian Population Than Military Goodhart, November 30. Psy- chological effects of the war upon civilian and military personnel were discussed by Mr. MacKinnon in the War Alliance Assembly on “War, Sanity, and Society.” Com- paring war neurosis in the two world wars, he commented also upon psychological changes in the attitude of enlisted men. Among civilians really living under the strain of war, such as the citizens of bombed English cit- ies, the number of cases of war neurosis is extremely low. Civil- ians stand up well under the im- pact of total war. Many who have previously been neurotic lose sym-. toms of neurosis under the respon- sibilities of wartime conditions. Mr. MacKinnon said that this ci- vilian reaction “is something more than a tribute to the way in which | human nature meets adversity. It is a sad commentary on the extent to which in modern competitive | society ‘the frustrations of peace may be more difficult to bear than the traumatic experiences of war.” Sharing Responsibilities In cities under attack many ci- vilians began for the first time to feel themselves an important part of a group. Sharing with others in the same shelter the responsibil- ity of surviving an attack, some people for the first time found themselves a necessary part of so- ciety. Also the responsibility of doing civilian’ air raid service sat- isfied in many cases the desire to be of some social value. “There is no reason why we can- not order our society so that these _ satisfactions can be experienced in peace as in war,” stated Mr. Mac- Continued on Page 3 Vocational Speakers Will Talk on Medicine A Vocational Conference on Medicine and Public Health will be given on Wednesday, December 8th at 7:30 in the Common Room. This is the first of a series of five, arranged by the Vocational Com- mittee of the undergraduate As- sociation. Major Margaret Craighill, U. S. Army Medical Corps--will -speak-on medicine. A graduate of Johns Hopkins and dean of the Women’s Medical College in Pennsylvania and practising physician in Con- necticut, she is now working in the Surgeon General’s Office in Washington. Dr. Harriet Hartley, head of the Division of Child Hygiene of Pub- lic Health in Philadelphia and head of the Department of © Pre- ventative Medicine in Public Health at Temple University, Pennsylva- nia will lecture on Public Health. The speakers will describe the requirements, training and_ types of work open in their fields. Invi- tations to the lecture are _ being sent to those who indicated their interest in these fields upon the _ vocational cards distributed ear- lier. in the year, but all who wish to attend are welcome.. The next vocational lecture will be given in February. » Limp Ties and Varied Accents to Portray | Emotional Intensity in Players’ Production Hildreth Dunn, 744 Letters in a girls’ boarding|! school, war in a girls’. boarding school; and how they fight it out in “Letters to Lucerne”! ‘“We’re all little beasts,” said one of the actresses as she mounted the stage, picked up her rag doll and prepared to do battle. Goodhart’s empty auditorium has _ witnessed the rehearsals a number of times, and will again before the Friday and Saturday night performances. The school’s inmates are of all nationalities, and the plot centers on one of six girls, head mistress- es, spies and rumors thereof and scenes of high emotional intensity. Someone crashes down the stairs (intentional and headfirst), the fleeting ‘great lover’ wears Tyrol- ean suspenders, and Mr. Nusbaum says grimly: “The chairs are tac- ky, all of them.” French is tossed off at each crisis, a letter is “not to be read, for the love of God!” and a Haverford player is care- fully instructed that the -ribbon for his tie: must. be thoroughly walked over to make it suitable. The play presents the problem of this heterogeneous group of school-girls, as they turn against their former friend and leader be- cause of her German birth. There are a variety of accents, neatly managed. The alienated German girl found her, solution. As she explained to us, “I don’t attempt a German one, I just stress the line that says I had an English gover- ness.” Miller and Anderson Analyze Newspapers Periodical Room, November -29 and 30. The development and characteristics of modern journal- ism and the interpretation of ec- onomic news reports were the subjects of lectures by Mr. Miller and Mrs. Anderson, comprising the first half of the four-day news- paper course, a Study of the Press. “To understand the. newspapers of today, we must go back to the ‘yellow journalism’ of the days of Pulitzer and Hearst,” declared Mr.- Miller. This new development in newspaper technique, which flourished from 1892 until 1914, caused a radical change in Amer- ican journalism. Crusades for the benefit of the “Common Man” and _ organized social welfare drives began to play an important part in the news printed in this period. Accom- -panying this interest in the work- ing classes was an attempt to pop- ularize the papers, done through extravagant use of large type, sensational headlines seldom jus- tified by the report, and the inclu- sion of crime and human interest stories. Although conservatism has again seized the newspapers, the era of ‘yellow journalism’, said Mr. Miller, has left several remnants in the papers of today, notably the Sunday supplement and the Woman’s Page. : Nearly simultaneous with the development of ‘yellow journal- ism’ was the beginning of the modern press associations — the Associated Press, and the Interna- tional News Service. While these news services facilitate speedy and efficient gathering of the news, Mr. Miller pointed out that there is always the danger of monopoly. as was the case with the Associated Press in the days prior to its re- Continued on Page 3 ‘at last! In the quieter moments of the | rehearsal, the director battles with | his players over what length skirt | is manageable, what heels are | heels, ete. “God help all poor | children” he mutters as the curtain | goes up late. Maybe it’s a line in| the play. Our favorite was: “y| might have known a man wouldn’t come to a girl’s school to see his sister!’ We deduced that that was where the trouble started. In the sparse minutes of relax- ation for the players, the stage crew takes over. Substitutes for properties are one of their main| specialties, while panelling half the scenery takes up the rest of their time. There is to be “gen- eral illumination” on the first ‘and third acts, we hear, but the second will have its compensations. Delegates of Alumnae From Seven Colleges Meet at Bryn Mawr The Seyen College Conference will hold its bi-annual meeting at Bryn Mawr on December 2 and 3. Representatives of the alumnae organizations of Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, and Wellesley will be present, The main topic of discussion will be the new National Scholar- ship Plan. The alumnae groups, who play a large part in the se- lection of scholarship students, will consider their plans for the distribution of scholarship awards at this meeting. The rest of the} meeting, which will be held in the Alumnae Room of the Deanery, will be concerned with other al- umnae business. Members of the conference, who include the presidents and execu- tive secretaries of the alumnae organizations, will be entertained by various members of the Fac- ulty. Miss McBride will give a dinner party and Mrs. Chadwick- Collins is planning a tea. Mrs. Robert Lewis, President of the Bryn Mawr alumnae, will be hos- tess at a luncheon.

Spanish Club to Give Gay Comedy as Part Of Christmas Fiesta The Spanish Club’s first Christ- mas play will be distinguished by a humorous plot. Instead of pre- senting the Nativity scenes which are usually given in the language houses, the Spanish House in Rad- nor will start off the traditional series of performances with a Christmas fiesta on Tuesday, De- cember 7, at 8:00. The play, La Cueva de Salamanca, is only one attraction of the general party to which everyone is invited, wheth- er they speak Spanish or not. The evening will be a faithful repre- sentation of the traditional Christ- mas eve festivities in Spain. Virginia Lee Nixon, ’44 is in charge of the play, with Miss Nepper and Miss Zuleta directing. Pancracio will be played by Chloe Walker, ’45, and his wife, Leonar- da, by Marguerite Frost, ’46. The role of Christina, the maid, will be acted by Mickey Malaret, ’46, while Alison Merrill, ’45, will take the part of the village barber.

Miss Kimbrough, technical adviser for the film, when interviewed, de- scribed incidents connected with the production. The action starts at Bryn Mawr, a Bryn Mawr realistically por- trayed — show-cases, Pembroke Arch, Gym, hoops and_ lanterns, College News and all. If the show cases are rather glorified, if Pem- broke Arch is just. a permanent Hollywood stand-by, and if the Gym is really that of the YMCA in Los Angeles, who is to know the difference? : The 1923 Bryn Mawr girls’ main concern in life was to acquire a “line”. Without one, life offered no possibilities, and for one she was willing. to dish out her last cent in lessons. “Emily” and-“Gor- nelia” decide that to acquire. real sophistication, they must go ‘ abroad—where they might come into contact with men! (Especially older men... even Frenchmen!). Plunging into a description of some of the difficulties encounter- _eddue to the necessarily restrict- ed form of film writing, Miss Kim- brough stressed the small frames in which: action must be enclosed. Also so much more detail is nec- essary in a film than in a book that in order to condense the story to the time allotted, every scene portrayed must be essential to the plot.. Due to technical difficulties, some episodes from the book had to be omitted, among these, that, Instead, | of the deck tennis game. two young English girls come to. Emily on the deck and ask her to, join the ship’s pool. Emily is charmed and delighted and goes below to don a. bathing suit, hav- ing successfullly © misinterpreted the word “pool”.

Frey Will Speak About War Labor Board Fourth War Alliance Assembly Presents Acting Authority On Labor Dr, Alexander H. Frey, Vice- Chairman of the Regional War Labor Board of Philadelphia, will speak about the National War La- bor Board, its general philosophy, and how it (works, .at the fourth War Alliance assembly on Wednes- day, December 8, at 12.30. In recent years Dr, /¥frey has served on several Minimum Wage Boards. He was chairman of the board for hotel industry, and of the committee on jewelry, as well as a member of the committees for the rubber industry and for the passenger and property motor carrier industries. He has fre- quently acted as arbitrator of la- bor disputes. Professor Dr. Frey was assistant profess- or in the law school of Yale Uni- versity, and a visiting professor at Columbia and Duke Universi- ties, and has, since 1932, been a professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He has been chairman of the Phila- delphia Good Neighbor League, and the Philadelphia Civil Liberties . Committee, and is a member of numerous law and bar associa- tions. He is the author of several books and articles on legal sub- jects. A student in Columbia Univer- sity from 1915 to 1917, he is a graduate of Yale Law School, where he received _his_doctorate in law in 1925.. He spent the two years from 1921 to 1923 in gradu- ate study at Oxford University, holding, during that time, a fel- lowship from the Carnegie En- dowment for International Peace. A short time later, the Social Science Research Council awarded him a fellowship.

Rejuvenation The fall of 1943 has seen an increased interest and par- Coming after a period of inexplicable inertia and lack of spirit on the part of students, this unparalleled activity is now the mark of nearly every organization on campus. Clubs of long standing and rather nebulous functions have presented concrete programs to the Undergraduate Association which contrast sharply with the spasmodic teas and occasional speakers of past years. With the foundation of the Spanish House, the Spanish Club has been rejuvenat- ed; other language clubs have instituted regular meetings. Particularly indicative of the increased activity is the rela- tively new Radio Club, with its growing variety of programs, its work in engineering, production, special features and its two new courses. Clubs practically dormant in former years have come forward—the Art Club, the Record Library, and the International Relations Club, which has bi-monthly dis- cussions of current problems with the Haverford and Rose- mont clubs. The War Alliance, with its courses and work largely formulated in the past two years, has received this fall its greatest response from the undergraduates with the regis- tration of 425 people for war work. The students’ prefer- _ence is notably for actual work rather than training courses. “we The assemblies, more frequent since the Alliance got under- way sooner in obtaining speakers, have been and continue to be well-attended. Activity does not stop with the clubs and the Alliance, however; indications of it can be seen elsewhere. Under a new system, thi Sub-Freshman committee has achiev- ed a closer conrrection between Freshman and S. A. and has continued its work beyond the first weeks. The Undergrad- uate Council has taken concrete steps this year toward great- er efficiency and integration of campus organizations. Such an increase in general interest and activity on a campus which for years has suffered from a supposedly in- curable case of inertia cannot be explained by a single fac- _tor.._It did not begin on December 7, 1941, nor did it reflect} the increased pace of the war world of 1942-43. Students indeed had to be practically coerced into attending assem- blies on current affairs; Alliance discussions were attended by a scant five or six; the clubs continued in their leisurely and all-too-traditional way. In part, the activity comes from a basically better or- ganization, strengthened by more able presidents of the sep- arate groups, who, as individuals, have given more time and ingenuity to their work. Further, the fact that the restric- tions on Freshman activities, which often discouraged future participation, has been lifted for the first time must be tak- en into account. Together these factors have cieieniina a more enthus- iastic spirit on the part of students. We hope that such a high level of activity may be maintained. Subsidies The farm subsidy issue now before Congress involves the extension after December 31 of the Commodity Credit Exhibition in Library Of Mohammedan Art From Lewis Collection A display of Persian miniatures calligraphy and bronzes, — lent through the courtesy of the Free Library of Philadelphia from the John Frederick Lewis collection, is on exhibition in the Rare Book Room of the Library. “The ar- ticles represent very fine examples of Mohammedan art from the ear- liest ages to medieval times. -Color and interesting linear representa- tion combine in transmitting the feeling of Persian art, The miniatures, many of which are illustrations from manuscripts of Firdawsi, Persia’s greatest poet, are unusually perféct speci- mens. Three of them are of the fifteenth century, the: period of Persia’s highest artistic achieve- ment. The earliest of these, “The Death of Bizan,” is a product of the Shiraz school. It blends sheer decoration with expression, and is embellished with cloud-like calli- spb. The first example of the Hetat school has an _ interesting asymetrical design and_ great beauty of detail, while the later one, “Joseph being Entertained by Potiphor’s Wife,” shows delicate design coupled with richness of color, The earliest piece of calligraphy, a page from the Koran written in Kufi style in Mesopotamia during the ninth century, conveys a sweeping rhythm and _stylization that clearly illustrates why writ- ing was regarded as equal to the other arts in Oriental countries. A fourteenth century excerpt, also from the Koran, shows greater ornamentation, especially in the blue and gold illuminations. The calligraphy is not purely mono- chromatic, but has red marks sym- bolizing vocalization and enuncia- tion. In the miniatures the calli- graphy is often traced into out- lines that accent its vital rhythm. WITS END : The News was forced:to omit 60 columns of copy in order to pre- sent all the advertising to its sub- scribers. Therefore, we insert this column as a_ digest of omitted stories. According to the latést reports, six students leaped from Taylor Tower into the cloister pool to- night and just as these students paused to refresh, so well may you. Now we have dispensed with the commercial let us announce that the long expected has occur- red. A certain professor well- known for nocturnal habitation of the library was finally locked in by the porter. “Frequent trips to the water cooler made the night pass like day,” was his only com- ment. Mild excitement was aroused on campus last night by the slight blaze which razed two dormitories to the ground. Students aided the firemen by dancing around the ‘in- ferno singing “To the Maypole Let Us Go.” Cause of the fire was at- tributed to_an intense dislike of showcase furniture but Causal Crails Using the phrase “domestic tranquillity” from the preamble of the constitution as a text, Mr. Wells discussed some of the events of the past week in Washington, where the situation seems to be anything but tranquil. Despite the outward confusion, a great deal is being done, he said, men- tioning in particular the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the new tax bill, and the Commodity Credit Corporation Bill. The whole subject of taxation, Mr. Wells said, is tied up with wage and price control and the question of subsidies. Rationing, he said, has achieved a fairer dis- tribution of scarce goods and price control has gained a great deal more than in the last war. There was about a 50% increase in prices in the last war and only about a 25% increase in this war, Inflation The “inflationary gap,” Mr. Wells said, might cause a great increase in pricés. The danger from this gap is considerably less- Police| ened, however, by the fact that a Chief Howe was unable to place | good deal of it is taken by savings the blame on any one person. The administration has joined the Board of Trustees at . Stokes Poges on the Isle of Rhoads _ for its annual fishing trip. Feeling that the college is in a rut, they are advancing a new program of anti-exams with special emphasis on the abolishment of comprehen- sives. Faculty are wisely prepar- ing a flanking movement—“We would have nothing to look for- ward to,” explained their spokes- man, “It’s as if Christmas were abolished,” said another. A blot upon our scutcheon is the class riots in one hall. Freshmen have accused the Seniors of dis- crimination and have refused to fetch coffee or sing. The resulting violent action should make us stop and consider the true values of our traditions. Continued on Page 3 Corporation. This agency finances many agricultural pro- grams, yet the measure to continue this CCC to July 1, 1945 contains a provision which would ban almost all food subsi- dies after December 31. The bill, outlawing the Administra-’ tion food subsidy program, has been passed by the House, 278 to 117. It is expected that the Senate will also pass the CCC bill, although the President will undoubtedly veto it. In- dications are that the veto will be over-ridden. Subsidies alone, it should be pointed out, do not offer the solution to the problem of inflation. Their purpose is to pro- vide for payments to producers in order to prevent higher wartime costs from being passed on to consumers. They are part of the general effort to close the inflationary gap by. stabilizing price ceilings through government financing of added farm and food production costs. “ Those favoring subsidies believe them to be an essential method of keeping down the cost of living, while progressive taxation will finance the increased costs of production more equitably. In addition to holding the cost of living at a min- imum, increased production will result from the use of sub- sidies, for margfnal producers, without government financial aid, will: not be-able to continue production. Opponents of subsidies argue that with the rise of wages, consumers should incur the increased costs of production through high- er prices. Taxation alone, they argue, does not close the in- flationary gap. The problem of closing the inflationary gap is of primary concern, and unless price and wage ceilings are maintained, there is grave danger of widespread inflation. President Roosevelt, in his food message to Congress on October 31, expressed the need for subsidies as follows: “I am convinced that to abandon our present policy would in- crease the cost of living, bring about demands for increased wages which would then be justifiable, and might as well start a serious and dangerous cycle of inflation—without net benefit to anyone.” If the Commodity Credit Corporation bill is passed as it stands, with the provision banning almost all food subsi- dies, the vicious circle of increased living costs and increased wage demands will widen the inflationary gap. If subsides are continued, other measures such as increased taxation, forced savings, and rationing must be employed. In any case, a subsidy program alone will - be sufficient to prevent in- flation. * whether in bonds. or. insurance. However, since the 20% withhold- ing tax went into effect, the re- demption of War Bonds has _in- creased. Also, as the war draws near its end, people will start to buy a great deal more, which con- stitutes a real danger, Dr. Wells feels that the govern- ment has not gone as far as it should in taxation. The Treasury’s new bill, he said, called for about $16,000,000,000 in new revenue, The bill was whittled down to $10,500,000,000 and was passed by the House of Representatives for $2,010,000,000. Ome reason for the cutting of the bill is that taxes in the United States are higher per capita than in England. This is not a fair comparison, how- ever, Mr. Wells said, because the incomes of the two countries were not taken into consideration. An- other reason is that the House feels that the taxpayer is “cleaned to the bone.” This doesn’t appear to be true, said Mr. Wells, when you consider the luxuries people still buy. Nuts and Bolts By Patricia Platt, ’45 A recent poll at Clark Univer- sity gives interesting information about current campus. opinion. This poll compares the views of the faculty with those of the stud- ents on such issues as Roosevelt and the Post-war world. Significant refults include: 1) Pro-Roosevelt students and anti-Roosevelt fac- ulty; 2) “On. the subject of com- pulsory military training, how- ever, faculty and students were in accord.” Each favored it by a slight majority. Here is a fairly concrete indication that college life and organization is not likely to fall back into its old rut. —— py : Swarthmore now boasts of the fact that PM has chosen it as a “typical campus of ’43”. PM said “the speed-up brought by World War II has reached even the ivory tower, though it is known there as acceleration.” It seems that the war at first caused demoralization, but now that the Navy has arrived the lamp of learning glows as a torch of victory. Seeing itself mirrored amazed Swarthmore. They never: dreamed they were so collegiate. All of which goes to show that college must be colleg- iate to be college.

Pa Psychological Effects Of War are Discussed Continued from Page 1 Kinnon, “and until we do so order our society there will always un- derstandably be those who will prefer war to peace.” Immunity to war neurosis is much lower among soldiers than among civilians, said. Mr. Mac- Kinnon, especially if they are sol- diers in a conscript army. One of the main reasons for this differ- ence is that the civilian has a feel- ing his fate is being shared by others, while the soldier does not. Also invalidism offers ‘no eseape for the civilian, but it does for a soldier who will be evacuated from the scene of action. Personnel War neurosis has been prevent- ed somewhat during this war by more careful selection of military personnel. Men likely to develop neurotic symptoms are eliminated before induction. Also education | of enlisted men before they go in- to battle concerning existing con- ditions of warfare and the ideals for which they are fighting has greatly reduced neurosis. “The more the soldier knows what he is fighting for and the more he believes in the justice of his cause,” pointed out the speak- er, “the less disposed will he be to become a neuro-psychiatric casu- alty.” Difference in the training. and duty of the enlisted man in the last world war and in this one have caused a change in the type of war neurosis occuring most fre- quently. A private in the last war was often a “foot slogging infantryman” with little feeling of personal responsibility. In this war, he is much more often a trained technician with certain personal responsibility. Change of Attitude Of Employers Cited A great change in the policy of employers has taken place since last spring, reported Mrs. Cren- shaw in an interview on the types of work open to college graduates. Previously demand was for large numbers of untrained work- ers. Now the greatest demand is for experienced people. The need for new workers in scientific fields is so great, however, that there will still be many training courses in engineering, such as those given by Curtiss-Wright and General Motors. The vast number of workers needed for reconstruction and re- habilitation in European countries has changed the nature of person- nel demands in all forms of work. There are as many positions open now as before, but they are near- ly all replacements, not new jobs, Many more workers outside of the armed forces, such as_ research secretaries will be sent overseas.

LANCASTER AVENUE BRYN MAWR 2060 Hockey Team Scores Victory Over Drexel Bryn Mawr, November 24. Bryn Mawr crashed through Drexel’s defense to win their first game of the year. The Owls whitewashed the blue team by a very decisive 6-0 score. Taking over control of the ball from the first minute of play, the Owls scarcely gave the Drexel forwards a chance to show what they could do. By the end of the half the Owls held a 2-0 advan- tage, Nancy Niles, the center half- back, having scored both points. The Owls, although playing fast and furiously, showed skill espec- ially in passing, They lost no time in increasing their lead during the second half when Marjorie Rich- ardson and Trudie MacIntosh both scored. Trudie’s goal came as the result of a perfect series of passes all the way from the fifty-yard line that completely baffled the Drexel fullbacks, Lydia Gifford complet- ed the conquest for Bryn Mawr by adding two more goals to the score. Drexel found Bryn Mawr’s de- fense more than a match for them. Although they had several chances to score, the Owl backs repeatedly got the ball out and away to the forwards. The Bryn Mawr reserves, add- ing to their list of victories, fin- ished off Drexel’s second team by a 3-1 score.

The Associ- ated Press is the strongest in the | United States today, with a mem- bership of about 1400, while the United Press has a large group of foreign subscribers. Speaking of the present day newspapers, Mr. Miller said that they have become consistently more conservative as the business of newspaper publishing develops into big business. As an example he cited the Scripps papers, orig- inally small town popular journals, and now well entrenched in the larger field in New York City. In discussing the interpretation of economic news, Mrs. Anderson approached the problem from the economist’s point of view. With the economists’ interest in general trends, she feels that mare news of value can be found in the reg- ular section of the paper. “On the whole, the layman has nothing to gain by reading the financial pages faithfully,” she said. Explaining that the only finan- cial news of any value must be gleaned from the financial pages of the New York and London pa- pers, or the regular publications of the financial press, Mrs. Ander- son then discussed government policy toward big business, and Going—Going not yet gone Our choicest selection of Christmas Gifts Better Hurry Richard Stockton BRYN MAWR Invisible Mending Shop Zippers Repaired and Replaced Pearl Restringing SUBURBAN SQUARE ARDMORE, PA.
