Lyle, Bryn Mawr European Fel- low _of the class of 1937. It is not attempting formal classes, but projects like Living Newspaper dramatics, or charts, maps, and graphs to express such subjects as unemployment figures and the union’ budget in pictorial form and thereby to induce more concrete thinking about facts and their relation to opinion. These “Workshops in Living History” should offer practical information and therefore prove thought-pro- voking to people unused to aca- demic theorizing.

She described the re- quirements of the major and the aims of the department, outlining the course work and explaining the presént: reorganization of material. Dr. Helen Patch, Bryn Mawr Ph.D., and professor of French at Mt. Halyoke College, spoke on the work of the French Department there, stressing the “cooperation of departments.” Mt. Holyoke students relate their courses, taking, for instance, Renaissance History and French with a joint. bibliography. The freshmen, taking both French and English, write source themes on work in both fields. Interrelation of science and French has. been suggested, but not yet carried out. Miss Patch also explained the two-unit system at Mt. Holyoke. About 15. students, who lived to- gether in one house under a di- rector of studies, take two subjects a year instead of five, and “go deeply” into them.

These were: the German “oral” examination, the revision of the major course, and the opportunities for German conversation. The last topic proved most interesting, especially in its connection with the necessity for concentration on reading German, provided by the examination re- quirement. The ability to read German has been considered essential for the A. B. degree, especially as a “tool” in graduate work. Spoken German, ‘though not so important in this re- spect was thought extremely desir- able by many of the group, Mr. Diez advocated training in conver- sation in the preparatory schools, but if this proves impossible there is still opportunity here through the German Club, German House, and the junior year abroad. (Even a summer in Germany was helpful to this year’s group.) In college there is not enough time for ele- mentary convérsation courses, but the Wagner course, which has been added this year, provides some oral training and bridges the gap be- tween the elementary reading course and more advanced work. «Janet Sloane _ ~The News wishes to con- gratulate Mr. and Mrs. Jos- eph Sloane on the birth of a daughter.

Value. of Politics Reviewed; Problems Of Teaching Cited Taylor’ Hall, October 21.—Mr. Wells and Miss Staerk, Politics veader. during 1938-39, sketched the history and problems of the Poli- tics departmerit. Miss More and Miss Eleanor Fabyan discussed the Politics major and its value in post-college life. Mr. Wells stated the three major problems confronting the depart- ment today:. coordinating Politics with Economics and other subjects; giving enough graduate courses, and evaluating. the final examina- tion in the major subject. Coor- dination is attained through allied subjects, through discussion clubs, and through joint courses given by Harriet nomics. The examination system, however, is still faulty because it handicaps the better students, puts pressure on the weaker students, and makes honors work suffer. The Swarthmore system of first, second, third, and pass degrees works bet- ter for all students. Miss Staerk outlined and dis- cussed the first yéar Politics course. “In such a survey course,” she said, “the chief problem is to avoid superficiality and bias.” Continued on Page Two CALENDAR October 26.— Goodhart Thursday, Angna Enters, Hall, 8.30 p. m.

Some three weeks: ago college ‘opened and Rhoads! was supposed to have a fire drill. I, being fire captain, went around and drafted the requisite number of. lieuten- ants and heelers, and the gong was scheduled to sound early on a Thursday morning. The only trouble with that was that the key to the bell was lost. Time passed, and on the after- noon of Wednesday; October 17, I found the new key, which Miss Hait had had made, in my mail box. Betty Crozier, -second lieutenant, will support me:in this. She was there. Without a moment‘s hesita- tion, I realized:that it was my duty to call a fire drill next morning. But, simply as a matter of rou- tine, the bell had to be tested first. I inserted the key in the firebox, but nothing happened and, as I am naturally timid about electrical ap- ~~ | pliances, I told my. lieutenant to do it. Miss Crozier threw home” the switch, the glass fell on the floor (this fact was not noticed until later) and the bell rang. Self- satisfied, Miss Crozier returned the key to. me, evidently under the impression that she ‘was only re- sponsible for turning the bell on. The bell kept ringing, and dur- ing the first minute of this bedlam I felt--strongly that something should be done. At the end of the . second minute I knew that I was not the girl to do it. And since no one else had any suggestions to make, we all went on being alarmed until finally Miss —Hait stuffed cardboard into. the mechan- ism, which did the.trick. © ' This is absolutely all I know about the Rhoads fire bell. I admit that since the first crisis, at least ~ four similar eruptions have taken place, .but_ Iwas not present. at any of them. Furthermore,—and I put this in just to keep the record straight—when I and my two lieutenants, Betty Crozier and Kristi Putnam, tried to have a real fire drill a few days later, none of the bells worked at all. smnnnethiponte t\ ’ THE COLLEGE NEWS THE COLLEGE NEWS (Founded in 1914) ‘Published weekly during ne College Year (excepting as Thanks- giving, Christmas and Easter Holidays, and during examination weeks) n the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Maguire Building, Wayne, Pa., -and.

This combination of factual knowledge and freedom of perspective can hardly be achieved by any active member of the present college community. In the recent conferences on curriculum, the alumnae put their position,to use and focussed the discussion on past and prob- able future development of curriculum and teaching methods. For instance, in the government meeting, the problem of relating polities to economics and allied fields was considered, while the Mt. Holyoke two-unit honors system was brought up for discus- sion in the French conference. The faculty by no means simply described the present work of the four departments for the benefit of the alumnae. __ Next year, we believe that the conferences would benefit from In the first place, the undergraduates would certainly derive as much benefit as the more active participation by students. faculty from an interchange of opinions with the alumnae. The alumnae have in common with us experience in being taught, but in their criticism of the process they are tree of the minor. dis- couragements—such as a dull lecture or assignment last week— which lead us -to \propose reforms that, in the long run, will accomplish little one way or another. Our second reason for proposing active student participation is that, by including ‘all three of the groups interested, the aim of the conferences will be more deliberately pointed toward dis- cussion and solution of problems facing particular departments. This year’s experience shows that description of the work is no longer the primary interest. - Therefore, it would be an advantage to have students, as well as alumnae and faculty, present so that whatever points are brought out will continue to. be considered by all thrée. _ Food for Thought The College Inn is a necessity in a life as scheduled-and as lacking in creature comforts as every student considers her’s to be. But at risk of being considered merely petulant about our comforts we would like to suggest some improvements in the present administration of the Inn. : : The food itself is uniformly good—and it is hot when it should be and cold when coldness is required. It is fairly mod- erate in price. But what goes with the food is uniformly bad. To be blunt, table tops are generally grimy and menus spotted; the service is sluggish at best and often-the-maids are ,inattentive and uncooperative. The Inn is administered by the College in the same way as the Halls and is run by a business manager and a dietician. The inefficiency of the system is, probably encouraged by the lack of criticism—other than questionable, under-the-breath remarks—by . eee “The evils are irritatingly petty, which is, in fact; ae the only reason we see fit-to~insist-that they be-corrected, — It’ should not be necessary to revolutionize the system entirely, to dispense with the present arrangement and to let out a contract to some more enterprising organization.

Value of Politics Continued from Page One Miss More, speaking on ‘The Adequacy of the Politics Major for Post-college Use,” divided her sub- ject into four categories: 1) gradu- ate study and teaching, 2) govern- ment service, where it is of little use except in political service or in the state department itself, 3) actual political life, where a knowl-, edge of American politics is espe- cially valuable, and 4) political ob- seryation. Miss More stressed the inecessity of thorough knowledge of at least one foreign language and a broad and coordinated back- ground, gained by wide reading. Miss Fabyan’s subject was “The Political Science Curriculum in Wartime.” She emphasized the im- portance of propaganda analysis and all international relations courses for constructive peace work.

QO inton Pp To the Editor of the Cofege News: October .28 is the twenty-first an- niversary of the Czechoslovak Declaration of Independence. The selebration this year is called “Re- membrance Day.” It may seem like an empty gesture, but the Declaration formulated an ideal, not of freedom alone, but of de- moeracy.. The world has recog- nized the permament elements of democracy in the Republic and it seems proper that this date should not pass unrecognized by those who share its ideals. The following paragraph from -he Declaration furnished the key- note for 20 years: “The Czechoslovak State shall be a republic. In constant endeavor for progress it will guarantee com- plete freedom of conscience, re- ligion and science, literature and art, speech, the press and the right ‘of assembly and petition. The Church shall be separated from the State. Our democracy shall rest on universal suffrage; women shall be placed on an equal footing with men, politically, socially, and cul- turally. The rights of the minor- ity shall be safeguarded by pro- portional representation; national minorities shall enjoy equal rights. The government shall be parlia- mentary in form and shall recog- nize the principles of initiative and referendum.” The Constitution and legislation implemented these—principles—and for 20 years they were practiced. The very words of the Declaration show that it was not a state based on ideology but democratically se- lected the practical wherever found. The Republic solved prob- lems of education, labor, health and social reorganization in an atmos- phere of freedom and initiative. The lesson of thewshort history of Czechoslovakia is rich for all democracy. The\ motto of the Re<1 vublie taken from an age-old be- lief was “Truth Conquers.” Inso- far as there was validity in the purposes of the state this. cele- bration is an evidence of faith in that doctrine. HERBERT A. MILLER. To the Editor of. the College News: » Your editorial last week on “An- archy, Democracy and the Activi- ties Drive” showed a little misun- derstanding, I think, which I should like to dispel if I can. You said, “Campaigns by small independent charities should not be banned.” The Activities Drive Committee has not banned such drives, and could not if it wanted to, without a general vote. The right of any organization to ask for money cannot be denied. It is a purely voluntary matter, ex- actly as the donation of money to a cause is voluntary. (Moreover, this right to solicit funds is an ad- ditive privilege: if four groups who are accustomed to having sepa- rate drives decide to combine and have only one drive; it -is ‘clearly their decision—and their misfor- tune if people respond less readily.) However, the ‘Drive Committee |has hoped to discourage ‘the ordi- nary high-pressure, door-to-door pledge-card type of drive, and to suggest instead that the group in question submit its requests either to the committee administering the Peace Council Relief Fund, or to} Cc owent- es Mr. Fenwick Common Room, October 24.~—-Mr. Fenwick opened his Current Events discussion with a summary of the recent progress in the neutfality debate. There has been a com- promise on the cash and carry clause with “cash tighter” and “carry looser.” of the United States could travel in any war zone. This clause has been. changed and: the President may designate certain areas, tech- nically war zones, such as Aus- tralia, Canada, where United States ships may travel. A strict cash basis has replaced the 90-day credit clause. The effect of this amend- ment will: be negligible: in Great Britain for some time to come, as she has several billion dollars re- cerve in the United States. Mr. Fenwick, turning to “the great events ofthe week” in for- ‘ign affairs, stated that Hitler has yet to “loose the full‘fury of the war” as he promised he would if his peace offer failed. Mr. Fen- wick believes that he wants a more definite Russian alliance. He is watching her activities in the Bal- tic with anxiety and perhaps there is cause for worry at home. There are no*immediate signs of revolt, but in the future, when the stress of war becomes greater, the ex- treme right which put Hitler into power may attempt. to overthrow him. — The one triumph of British di- vlomacy since the war began is the recent treaty with Turkey. This treaty announces that Turkey will support Great Britain and France should the war enter the Mediterranean zone. Accordingly, the danger. of Italy joining Ger- many is practically eliminated. Should Greece or Roumania be at- tacked and should France and Great Britain stand by their pledges to help these countries Turkey will give her support. She is not obliged, however, to go to war against Russia under any condition. : The question of the moment is how the British navy is going to withstand attack,. The German submarines have been dangerously successful so far, sinking the ‘Royal Oak and the Courageous, and German airplanes Have shown great boldness. The naval defici- encies of the last year must be made good, but England is lucky to have Winston Churchill, a very able man, at the head of her fleet. ‘| that which controls the General Ac- ‘ivities Drive emergency fund. -T'his--is..suggested, not with the idea of restricting enterprise in the least, but in the belief . that worthy groups will be able to get more money, with less work, in this way than in the old. you said: “ . by allowing these organizations to continue solicit- ing, a channel is reserved for the minority who are directly inter- ested to express their support, and a check provided against the day when the Peace Council might override a project. for which the majority wished to assert direct support.” The Peace.

In order to relate the program in each case to the needs and in- terests of the particular group using the workshop, a local advis- ory. co ittee of leaders in that group il the curriculum “ the spot” with a representative of the fund. For example, the committee of on land, Md. Workshop (where I worked this summer) chose three problems of their’ union around which to build a program. They wanted to explain the function of: the union to the membership, they the union by the lrest of the com- munity, and they wanted to find out more about. unemployment through technological improve- ments in the plant where they worked. In connection with the first prob- lem, a short, snappy “Information Please” program was inaugurated in union meetings. Two plays were given, one to demonstrate the proc- ess of collective bargaining, and one to Show the history of the union. In them, as far as was practical, people took parts they own words. Those who remem- bered .events in the early days of the union told the’story and others helped them act it out: The play grew and changed and developed as the union members looked at their past as a whole and discussed its significance. In early August, «here was a stoppage of work at the factory, and, true to its principle. of taking the activities of the group as its starting point, the Workshop moved to’ the picket line. In this case, picketing” alone would have- been a dull job, for no one attempted to go back to work and there was no trouble of any kind. So 50 or more watchful but idle pickets, spending eight hours at a time in a vacant parking lot opposite the plant, had ample time for rehears- ing the play, for informal discus- sion groups, for singing and mak- ing up their own songs to popular tunes, for baseball, for Chinese ee oe and darts. Secondly, to develop better un- derstanding between union and community, contacts were made with such prominent people as the chairman of the local Red Cross, the local librarian, and people in- terested in the Cumberland Hous- ing Problem, with the idea of co- operating with them on a project of mutual interest. It was arranged with the li- brarian, for instance, that ,the union truck would be lent certain days a week for transporting books to the small towns outside Cum- berland, .and that thé library ‘in return would set up a small branch at union hendauartaP with a W. P. A. worker to catalogie and ar- range the books. A union mem- ber skilled at carpentry was to build the bookshelves. The Smith Fund is already run- ning short of money and must soon be discontinued, but the Cumber- land Workshop Committee knows and understands the program and will be able to carry on without Miss Gilmore’s assistance. When I left, they were planning to oad Se a few -more-formal classes for the VASSAR EXAMIN ES ITS CURRICULUM Students Are prune Where Does Time Go? The Student Curriculum Commit- tee of Vassar College has launched a survey to determine how students spend their time and what opin- ions they hold in regard to certain proposed changes in the curricu- lum and the leave system, now un- der discussion by the faculty. The present survey began on Oc- tober 2, and will be completed on December 5. Every student has been given a pamphlet entitled “Where Does Your Time Go?” in which she is asked to fill out, daily, a table recording the number of hours spent on: each academic course, including: classes, confer- ences, and study; in exercise; sleep; relaxation; extra curricular activi- ties, specifying each; self-help ac- tivities, again specifying; cultural activities such as~reading and lec- tures aside from course require- ments, theaters, concerts: and art exhibits, and finally in absence from college. The survey also seeks. under- rraduate-opinion on the number of courses to be carried by each stu- dent per year. The present cur- riculum, based upon a four-course orogram, tries to securé for the student a broad foundation of lib- sxral study through distribution of electives -in various groups of studies, and to develop a degree of ‘ompetence in one particular field. Some among both faculty and students feel that a four-course plan gives too little opportunity, specially in the sophomore and junior years, to explore subjects which are not obviously related to the major field, but are of value in a liberal arts education. Sci- ence majors in particular have complained of this deprivation. ° The survey is planned to secure a basis of fact for the study of such questions. An analysis of all ‘he data by the Student Curricu- lum Committee with the aid of their faculty adviser, Professor Mabel Newcomer, chairman of the economics department, will be turned over to the Faculty Curricu- 'um Committee. os the interest aroused by last year’s program.

Batisions Baphin Place of Philosophy Continued from PageyOhie required course in thy“ meaning of philosophy for fresttmen to take first semester and to ‘complete the second half of their Ideally, ‘in place of a set philoso- phy department, the college would have a student body of individual philosophers. In ‘vpposition to this view Miss Shearer pointed but that philoso- phy does not: have directly prac- tical results, e. g., aesthetics does not present the student with canons of criticism and rules’ of produc- tion, and also that philosophy is not in a’ position to summarize other subjects and solve intellec- tual and religious problems. “Phi- losophy is not conclusive,’ Miss Shearer stated, “and if it were it would cease to have any meaning. Moreover, other departments: would probably not be willing to. work in such close collaboration with it. It is the duty of philosophy to criticise its own assumptions as well as those of other fields gf study.” Miss Walsh, agreeing with Miss Shearer, said that although it is impossible to avoid philosophy as lorig- as reflective thought exists, philosophy should not be distrib- uted, and that, granted Mr. Weiss’ ideal, the path towards it must be circuitous. “The first step is to- wards self-impersonalization,”’ she said. “Man will understand him- self best if he can get away from too humanistic concepts.” Before answering various ques- tions of the alumnae concerning the courses offered by the Philosophy Department this year, Mr. Weiss concluded the three-way discussion by saying, “Clarity has its place in mathematics and logic but, like all other virtues, it can be exag- gerated. The purpose of philosophy is not only clarity, but to say what’s so.” NEW TOUCH ADDED TO LANTERN NIGHT Library Cloisters, October 20,— A balmy moonlit -night~made~the traditional Lantern Night cere- monies in the Library Cloisters more than usually lovely. As the long chain of green lanterns car- ried by the sophomores progressed aléng the cloisters, whispers | of “they look like glowworms” were heard among the audience looking on from the roof. The noise of a passing train during the singing of} the Pallas Athena also provoked comment, because of the startling contrast to the medieval scholars’ procession. senior year.

He will go to Princeton to head the Institute for Advanced Study. «President Aydelotte came to Swarthmore in 1911, accepting the position largely because of the op- portunities offered by the college for the development of his favorite theory of education: the raising of education above the average, so that exceptional students could do themselves justice. In his inaugu- ral address, he said: “We are edu- cating’ more students up to a fair level than any country in the world, but we are wastefully al- lowing the capacity of the average to prevent us from bringing the best up to the standards they could reach.” The first step in President Ayde- lotte’s policy was taken when he refused to enlarge the college en- vollment in proportion to increased applications, on the grounds that its standards would thus be low- ered. In 1922 the honors system was. incorporated;. and in 1931 40 per cent of: the graduating class received their degree with honor. Under President Aydelotte’s ad- ministration the awarding of ‘“ath- letic scholarships” was abolished. Since 1929 the Endowment Fund has been increased from 4 to 8 million dollars. The Institute for Advanced‘Study, which .President Aydelotte will head, offers scholars of good stand- ing opportunity for large-scale research and experiment. His work at Princeton will be carried on in close contact with the faculty of the University. Library Wing provided a unique backdrop for thé 19389 Lantern Night. This year’s ceremony also broke a record: the class of ’42 pre- sented the largést number of lan- terns ever seen at a.Lantern Night ceremony, 164. The huge freshman class was very impressive march- ing slowly out, four abreast, sing- ing the Sophias. The sophomores, gathered in the corner of the cloisters watching them, complained of pennies drop- ping on their heads from the audi- ence. No insult was intended, how- aver; a lady’s purse had come open. When all the classes gathered for singing in Pembroke arch, the freshmen sang their class song, to the tune of a Russian national an- them, for the first time. Their two lyric songs were Funiculi-Funicula, and Scotland’s Burning. —— Thrifty idea, this: out extra, one S E ~ D your laundry home_by convenient RAILWAY EXPRESS you can express it home “collect”, you know.

Four quizzes will be printed in Vogue, starting with the November: issue and _ continuing through December, February, and March. — If the contestant passes these quizzes she is eligible to write a thesis. The final judgment will be made on her quizzes and thesis combined. Each quiz will consist of. at least elght questions, four of which will be devoted to fashion topics, four to Vanity Fair features, “such as music, art, literature, and the theater.” (One of the fashion. questions on” the first quiz con- cerns the new laced corset.) Sub- jects. will be announced April 1 and the thesis, not more than 1,500 words, is due May 20. Vogue sponsors these contests for two reasons: to help girls just out of college to get positions and to replenish its own staff which is thinned out each year “by marriage and similar casualties.” Six Bryn Mawr seniors are competing so far this year. The system of prizes has already been discussed in last week’s News.

Undoubtedly, the desire to find some simple catchword with which to snare the interest of others in the cause’ one is propagating, is a strong one. In times of relative peace (say from 1931-1939) people vitally interested in preserving thé world from another great catastro- phe used the famdus words “collett- ive security” until their original significance was lost. And the people of this country, thought in terms of “collective security” vs. “isolation” as means of either hav- ing the United States unite with other great democracies to prevent war, or of having our country re- main an insulated pacific body. The original meaning of the phrases was lost in their use as slogans for mass propoganda. The danger of over-simplification of issues is even greater now that the. war in Europe has actually come. We have beey warned of the menace of the phrase, “Keep the world safe for democracy.” Yet beeause of our inherent desire to find something secure upon which our philosophy of life may base it- self ina chaotic. world other forms of over-simplification: arise. Con- gressmen, each sincerely desirous of finding the best means of keep- ing us-out of war, fix upon one of considering that. they are largely\the causes that seemingly brought designed for school audiences with- out special knowledge of Bryn Mawr.

The lecture was the result of several summers of study and research in the Amer- ican Southwest by. Mr. and Mrs. Dryden. This summer’s expedition was partly financed by the Miller Research Fund of Bryn Mawr Col- lege, to enable Mr. Dryden to,make a special study of Dakota sand- stone. Mr. Dryden illustrated his talk before the society with a series of colored photographs of the region’s geological formation, taken by Mrs. Dryden during the summer. These will be used for regular lectures on the subject in college. As it is im- possible to describe the rock colors of the Southwest, which are of great. importance to the student of Geology, the photographic | slides should prove invaluable for classes unfamiliar with the territory. plicated issues. No one can be blamed for wish- ing to have a catchword. No stu- dent can be blamed for his desire to escape a necessary analysis of the chaos of conflicting emotions and ideas that exists in his mind. But there should be a common realization that peace of mind does not come by virtue of having a slo- gan for which one may carry the standard. In fact it is more dan- gerous than not having any slogan at all; for it is false to-reduce mul- tiplicity to unity merely with. the hope of gaining popular support. Perhaps our trouble lies in the fact that we do not essentially have faith in the intelligence of the American people. In attempting to teach them=we prefer to simplify rather than present them with any- thing complex for fear they will not unite behind the particular 4 ¥ ORGIGE ee . mM Sn Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny Got pulis oar rint © By Olivia Kahn has appeared in recent months is an amazing novel by a hitherto un- known author, Dalton Trumbo. Johnny Got His Gun, published by’ J. B. Lippincott and Co., is notori- ous because of the nauseating affect cf some of its stronger passages. It is impossible, however, to miss the significance of its central theme. Mr. Trumbo stresses re- peatedly his conviction that life is still the most important and precious quality in the world. Man powers of sight, hearing and com- municating with other people are invaluable and irreplacable. The author puts his ideas into the mind of a victim of war, a man without arms, legs, or face. This lump of flesh retains his reasan-at™ though he has lost almost every “ther human capacitypand pent up inside the boundaries of his hor- ribly mutilated body he realizes how overwhelming a sacrifice’ he has made on the battlefield for the sake of vague, shadowy principles. He finds that existence is empty when a being is completely cut off from the outside world. Practic- ally any other form of life is pre- ferable. ee Mr. Trumbo writes simply and directly. He never adds extra color to his theme, never demands sympathy for his.character. It is the situation that is emotionally ex- hausting and the author fortunately has the excellent taste to leave it as unadorned as possible. One portion of the book deserves special commendation.

Particularly in the case oft, Philadelphia stores, routine methods have proved useless, and some plan*for calculat- ing the college’s needs and presenting them in convincing form to the advertisers is . _ indicated. This may include |s the development of some merchandising and publicity system on campus. Will all those who are_ interested please see Ruth McGovern, Rhoads South? to him in his childhood. This is the highest point of the book, tre- miendously moving and adding weight and dignity to the work as a whole. Johnny Got His Gun was written for those who think at times that war is the only way out, for those who believe that under specific circumstances it is justifiable to take another man’s life. If they do not read it they have missed their chance to understand the po- sition of the absolute pacifist. Whether one agrees with the author or not, anybody willing to face the ghastly results of war as revealed in Johnny Got His Gun should be fascinated from the first page to the last.

In searching for some phrase that will suit the public they wish to reach, they over-simplify. One group, for example, states: “Hitler and Chamberlain have made the war; the people will make the peace.” And the American people are again led by slogans rather than by a faith in the power of education and free speech in democracy, We should allow the people to think for themselves, and in so doing we may reach better solutions than these offered by slogans and catch phrases.

The News. editor then takes one set of proofs, cuts it, and pastes the columns in position on, the dummy. The dummy is a plan, a layout, of the News as it will appear in its finished form. On Tuesday night, the new copy which could not be brought in on Monday, is corrected. Among the Tuesday work, for instance, there is always Mr. Fenwick’s~cufrent events. These new articles are rep- resented in the dummy by strips of blank paper with the headlines of the articles penciled on them. On Wednesday morning Philip takes the dummy and corrected proofs to the plant along with the Tuesday copy. After the type for - the Tuesday copy has been set. and the proof read by the representa- tive of the News who goes: to Wayne on Wednesday for that pur- pose, all the lead type is handed over to Johnny, the make-up man at the plant, and he lays the paper out according to the dummy. For me it will always remain an amazing fact that the newspaper always appears right side up and reading from top to bottom. For in the form at which Johnny works the type is laid down with the top of the page at the bottom, and the type must be read, line by. line, upside down. it all if it were not for the fact that the type, though upside down, still continues to be read from left to right. It rather seems to mé that this Through the Looking Glass process should be completely thoroughgoing and that the type should be read from right to left. If we are lucky, the dummy will represent the finished and complete News without necessity of any change. But such is frequently not the case. Last week the Junior Class elections were telephoned to Wayne after two o’clock on Wednesday. The News representa- tive there wrote them up, the type was set and given to Johnny to put into a box. To make room for this box on page one “he had to carry over some extra type to page four. There were three lines too many to fit the fourth page, and the ar- ticle had to be cut just that much and no more by the News repre- sentative. But a more difficult problem than the Junior elections was nine inches of advertising that could not be printed because the accompanying cut had not been de- livered. It looked as if nine inches of new material would have to be churned out. But Johnny solved the problem’ by suggesting the use of some overset (type which had been set up the week before but not used because of lack of space).

Miss Enters generally uses little scenery, creating the impressive- ness of her pieces by simplified, telling motions of her whole body,, and inspiring the imagination of her audience until it is able to sup- ply the setting for the piece, and unconsciously see it as real. The program which Miss Enters will give in Goodhart is a varied one, and promises to be a very good cross-section of her roles. The opening number is American Ballet—1914-16, then follow Time On My.

This is presented in three movements: Return from Prayers, The Party, and Return from Party. Three Spanish compo- sitions follow: Auto Da Fe—Spain, 15th Century; [Pav and Boy Cardinal, both pf the 16th century. The Auto Da He (or Act of Faith) was a form of torture practiced on the victims of the Spanish Inquisi- tion. The English Review says that Pavana represents “the whole subtlety of that 16th century Spain which produced the Borgais.” Boy Cardinal is another medieval characterization: “He is already slightly foul; cynical and callous but he has not yet relinquished the frivolous exuberance natural to his callow years. In spite of the odor of spice quite foreign to the incense of his assumed holiness, this scarlet boy is not altogether unlikable. The composition contains one brilliant surprise."

Lower Merion Hockey Squad, numerous Penn rooters, and a scattering of Bryn Mawrters. Early in the first half much hard hitting and “push” on the part of Penn resulted in a score. How- ever, both Stokes, ’41, and Wea- dock, ’40, tallied later on clean, flat drives to the goal corners and sent Bryn Mawr into the lead 2-1 at the end of the half. The second half was a mixture of cogtly errors, split-second dodges and hard, ofteri ineffective, hits. However, the hits made for the widely distributed play necessary to good team play. Two goals by Harper of Penn kept the Blue and Red in the lead until the last few minutes of ‘play. Then Stokes, while lying on her back, gave the ball a desperate push and Rambo seized and flicked it into the goal. The game then took the form of a Gallico sports story; for, with 30 seconds left to play, Jeffords of Penn carried the ball down the field through Bryn Mawr’s defense. She was temporarily stopped by Beck, ’40, at goal, but recovered the ball and followed in, only to have Beck again clear the ball, this time to the alley. The whis- tle blew, leaving the score at 3-3.
