Its course of action will be deter- mined.at a large open meeting. The organization, at this moment, is only an idea—an idea that the campus is ready and willing to undertake some action in regard to the crisis which is so obviously pertinent to us. We tend to ignore the positive value of our possible contribu- tion to the large field of war-time fact-finding. There is no reason why the ability in research which we have achieved should be re- stricted to the formation of purely academic decisions or the organi- zation of only classroom material. Understanding and evaluation of the events, opinions and facts in today’s news cannot be post- poned, Student opinion, generally, seems to favor not a partisan or- ganization, but an unprejudiced group dedicated to fact-finding. A campus group can probably function most widely if it is not predicated upon a printed statement of belief such as the Seven Points of faculty’s Defense Group. Nor must it demand impar- tiality of its members. The organization will be more flexible, broader, and more inclusive if constituted’ on a fact-finding basis, with an eye to active research work and a pooling of results in forum and discussion groups. The aims of the organization and how it is to be constituted are to be determined at Hall meetings on Thursday. It is hoped that _ all clubs will be represented, as rhuch of the work to be done might be in line with their own, and that all students who feel a need for such an organization will come.

Mr. Martin Foss WIT’S END Well we hauled out that sickly strawberry colored dress, stamped on it to remove the wrinkles, and went down to see Gone With the Wind. Vivien Leigh grovelled in the dirt munching a desiccated radish, and screamed hysterically, “T’ll never be hungry again! I'll kill, I’ll steal, but I’ll never be hungry again!” Clark Gable seized her head between his hands and | threatened to crack it like a walnut. We are tiredvof these manifesta- tions of the animal passions. Any evening from now on we're staying home with a good book, packed in dry ice and munching our own desiccated radish, We have thrown the strawberry colored dress into the ash can for the scavengers, strangled the cat howling under our window, and turned on the radio to:the Singing Lady.. Now is the time for all good First Year Philosophy students to join our little group and decide whether they’re butterflies dreaming they’re men or men dreaming they’re but- terflies, The hoi polloi may gorge themselves at the Inn but the five Chinese pleasures are enough for us.

Swains of Haverford Offer Oasis of Bliss And Future Concord To the Editor of the COLLEGE NEWS: Upon the consideration of the recent article in the Haverfordian concerning the relationship between Bryn Mawr girls and Haverford MEN, a select group of progressive thinkers at that “insignificant insti- tution of learning down the road from Bryn Mawr” wish to promul- gate a new realm of thought at that school “across the tracks.” We admit that many men of Haverford have failed to live up to the expectations of Bryn Mawr “glamour girls.” Could it be that Haverford men feel too acutely their insignificant position when compared with the “‘polish of Har- vard and the sophistication of Yale”; or could it be that the “little men” of Haverford lack the S. A. to live up to the requirements of Bry Mawr which are appar- ently so much higher than those of Vassar, Smith, or Holyoke? Is it that the proportion of Haverford MEN who appreciate Bryn Mawr at its best is too small to leave a permanent impression of Bryn- mawrites? In this case we believe that the proportion of “grinds” at other institutions such as Harvard, Princeton, and Yale is just as great as it is at Haverford. “Grass on the other side of the fence seems greener.” Similarly it seems to us that the names of the aforemen- tioned schools have taken on a cer- tain enchantment due to their in- accessibility and distance. Some Bryn Mawr girls have condemned Haverford as a whole because of the evidence of a few grinds. (Some Haverford MEN have con- demned Bryn Mawr as a hole.) On the other hand horn rimmed glasses do not seem to us to én- hance our dreams of the ideal date to the counterpart of which Bryn Mawr seems to be expecting from Haverford. Moreover our experi- ence has shown that Haverford MEN have found it necessary to discuss the foreign situation. under the arches, because evidently many Bryn Mawr girls wish to keep the conversation on the high intellec- tual level for which Haverford MEN are known. We feel sure ‘that most Haverford MEN would not object to temporarily descend- ing from their intellectual pedestal if Bryn Mawr girls will agree to do likewise. Have courage, Bryn Mawr, there is an ever increasing group of us who are wiping out this stigma on our name, and who wish to estab- lish a new tradition which will be upheld by ourselves and our pos- terity. We are reminded in clos- Me disappointed in love, and we feel} What, No Orchestra? The Self Government Board announces that if a student has been given late permission for dancing at places on the Main Line such as the Covered Wagon, the General Wayne, etc. and finds that there is no orchestra, she should return to her hall before 11.30. C inert Events Miss Reid The President said in his press conference yesterday that Ameri- can merchant ships must be pro- tected wherever they go. The question of convoying in the Red Sea area was evaded by the Presi- dent. British victories in Egypt are not as important as they have been heralded and Germany is Suez. Egypt is still technically neutral. This is the most danger- ous situation we’ve yet come up against, as it seems probable that American ships will be sunk within the next few weeks. The dramatic agreement made last week between the official diplo- matic representative of Denmark, Dr. Kauffman, and the United States Government resulted in the Danish representative’s” being called home. The treaty was pur- ported to be an American military protective agreement guaranteeing Denmark sovereignty in Green- land and giving considerable rights to the United States for air and naval bases. Greenland is _psy- chologically important in the West- ern Hemisphere as a bridge be- tween Asia and Europe. Although the United States is treating Mr. Kauffman as superior to the Danish government, from a legal point of view, basis our rights in Green- land are nil. The signing of the Japanese- Russian pact on Easter Sunday was another important develop- ment. The large Japanese force which has been held on the frontier bordering Russia can now be withdrawn, and similarly, Rus- sia’s flank can be left unprotected. China stands to lose as a result of this pact. This may not.be a pro- Axis movement at all, although both Russia and Japan have gained from this pact temporarily, and the two parts of the world are now tied much more closely than before. Park and Nason Cite Views on Education Continued from Page One leges. Our society might be richer if we acted, not as two homo- geneous groups, but as individuals. Women’s colleges should not at- tempt to emulate men’s in every respect, for the course of life after college will be different in each case. A professional woman needs to be prepared for a more difficult struggle than that which faces pro- fessional men. A woman who mar- ries needs to be prepared to en- counter interferences with her unified, individual life, and she must be given intellectual tech- niques which will allow her to ac- quire interests readily after she has solved the immediate problems of bringing up a family. Besides academic training, the college should provide a girl with responsibility and freedom so that she will develop through her own experience and the “arrested de- velopment of the B.A.” will be less possible. Dr. Nason emphasized two points in his speech: the advantages of kiewicz, “The day of judgment is already on its way across the wil- derness; and when it is here, all God’s world will be amazed.” Suh W.

Among’ the ‘party will be Miss de Laguna, Mr. Sydney Connor, teacher of art at Girard College in Philadelphia ,and a Student associate for several sea- sons at the Museum of Northern Arizona, and six or eight Bryn Mawr students. Catherine McClel- lan, ’42, Alice Geier, -’41, Mary Coan, ’41, Margaret Foote, ’43, Catherine Coleman, ’42, and Mary Reed, ’42 are tentative members of the expedition. The excavation will be begun in the middle or later part of June and will continue for eight weeks. Walled Hill, a steep fortified hill with two masonry pueblos near its foot, is-the site of habitation of the ancient Sinagua people, dating from about 1050 to 1800 A. D. It is hoped that by proper excavation of this hill, houses and forts can be uncovered, supplying some material for the early Sinaguan history. Earlier excavations, made near Sunset Crater, belong to a period prior to 700 A. D. The expedition will pitch camp at the foot of Walled Hill and look for early Sinagua pit houses. But if this exploration is disappoint- ing, they will excavate the forts and pueblos at Walled Hill. At the same time, they will attempt to lo- cate and map as many of the num- erous sites as possible. The members of the expedition will also attend the Hopi Crafts- man, a fair for Indians, and the Hopi Snake Dance. They may visit other Indian sites in the Southwest. co-operation between colleges and the problem of accomplishing the real end of a liberal education. It is desirable, he said, that Hav- erford, Swarthmore ‘and Bryn Mawr co-operate further next year. As evidence of the success of the effort he cited the presentation of Our Town at Swarthmore. He sug- gested the establishment of a periodical which would combine contributions from the three col- leges, and a more extensive ex- change of instructors. This ex- change would mean greater econ- omy, variety for students and professors, and intellectual stimu- lation. A liberal education should both discipline the mind and produce a comprehensive point of view. Dis- ciplined minds are achieved at both Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr, but it is doubtful whether the gradu- ates have a comprehensive attitude. There is no common language be- tween a Chemist and an Economist. Comprehensiveness might be at- tained, since the elective system and survey courses both seem to have failed, either by the require- ment of certain courses or by the devotion of the student’s time to only one-subject; with which many aspects might be correlated. -The system of required courses applied in general to all students has not been effective, and the second idea is still very new. It would in- volve a change in the departmental attitude of most professors. Princeton to Waltz The German Club of Bryn Mawr is inviting the Prince- ton German Club to a waltz- ing party on Saturday, April 19. The dance will begin at seven in the Common Room and will be open to all Ger- man‘ Club members. essen
