Since these represented a large majority of the votes, a series of assemblies with non-required at- tendance is being planned by a joint committee of students and faculty. The series will deal generally with the background and course of the war. Members of the faculty and a few people from outside will be the speakers. Before each lec- ture a bibliography will be posted and the books listed will be avail- able in the Reserve Room, The assemblies, with the excep- tion of the first, will be held on Wednesdays from 12:30 until 1:30 P. M.. Classes on those days will start at 8:30 A. M., and lunch will be served at 1:80. The tentative plan for the series is as follows: March 1—11:00 A. M.: Causes: Diplomatic and Politi- cal. Mr. Wright; March 10—12:30 P. M.: Ideology: Fascism in Three States; April 7—12:30 P. M.: Rus- sian Communism and American Democracy; April 14—12:30 P. M.: Congress and War and Peace.

Erich Frank in his lecture in the Flexner series, entitled The Prob-| | lem of Creation. Dr. Frank pre- | sented the differences between the | Greek and the Christian views on | this problem, and the relation of | the modern thought to them. | The question of whether the world is eternal introduced the ele-| . ment of time into the problem of | creation. The Greek’s God was, only an artificer and not a creator, | for he did not create the world out | ‘ of nothing, but out of Chaos.

Missing from this year’s leg-show was the usual artificial pauses for the songs; added were Errol Flynn and Mr. Herben. The spy-plot was at times con- fusing, chiefly due to the fact that the members~of the spy ring were 'searcely audible in their first scene. ;But-the thread—of—eoherence was | sufficient to save The Sirens from ithe disjointedness of so many for- ‘mer shows. A few outstanding |comediennes and a bagful of good tunes with clever lyrics were '46’s trump cards. Edith Fincke as the Bryn Mawr version of Mata Hari broke a long- standing tradition of poor Fresh- man torch-singing. She played the of the siren with amazing finesse. The Sirens did not go out of its way to be risque; but when the opportunities arose it made the most of them. The Errol Flynn song, we predict, will be sung well into the future, and the smoking room scene quips will long be re- membered. The usual satire on the Greek’s, and on Haverford were exception- ally well done. Biffy Horax was a distinguished Haverford fresh- man, and the jitterbugs, Connie Chester and “Diana Hamon, stopped the show. The latter were called for an encore on the basis of their dead pan expressions and_ lubri- ‘ostod hips. The small details h'ch made the scene a_ success, such .as the take-off on Carrie, were typical of the thoroughness with which the show was directed. The singing of the octet offered relief from the continually shouted choruses, which are _ inevitable when large groups of non-singers are included. The Yale songs were sweetly done, and the introduction to the auction was very effective. The dancing was well planned, but not so well executed. The limited. number of rehearsals is possibly the answer. The soloists, on the other hand, were excellent. Beverly Shy showed remarkable ability in the power house dance. Continued on Page Two sinus.

At almost any time before February 22 she might have been found in Taylor, quietly stocking up the Rock hall bookshop. After her election, however, she went to Mrs. Nahm and, remarking that “a sad thing had happened,” re- signed all responsibility for the hungry hordes in Rock.

The comic dance of Sandra Lieberman was also extremely well done. Judy Novick’s caricature part was not only one of the funniest features in The Sirens, but con- tributed to the continuity of the show.

The un- 'fair inference is that he meant all ithe leaders. -Actually, strike fig- |ures for this year are proportion- | ally the lowest in American his- ! tory, and are lower than the Brit- ish figures.

American efficien- |cy experts have found that this is, ‘for the most productive number of , hours possible. For the last eight hours in the | forty eight hour week, time and a half has been given to Labor. The leaders think that such wages will not constitute a serious impetus to inflation. They are prepared to | accept wage stabilization, how- ever, if accompanied by limits on ‘higher salaries and incomes, price ceilings, especially on farm prod- ucts, and rationing. Such limits | will probably be set. | Miss Fairchild agrees with the general opinion that no strike is justifiable at this time. She agrees, not only because of the interfer- ence with production which the country cannot afford, but also be- cause Labor could not hope to win anything in face of a hostile pub- lic opinion. { | | | Undergraduate Head Nominations Made Continued: from Page One | Katherine Tappen ' Kay Tappen was representative | to the Undergraduate Association her Sophomore year, and is the secretary of the Association this year.

Upon examination it turned out to be a horde of Air Corps Cadets on a hike. They. (or it) had stopped in for a ten-minute rest period in the Bookshop. The rest period seemed to our in- experienced eyes to be about half an hour long. During it the Ca- dets by no means confined them- selves to the Bookshop... They spread in a sea between Taylor and Merion, deriving much enjoy- ment from Jonathan Weiss who slipped about in the mud, clutch- ing their legs and crying “Hello, Daddy,” indiscriminately. Although these representatives of Our finally marched away at a brisk trot, singing She Wears it for Her Ca- det Who is Far, Far Away, the military atmosphere continued throughout the weekend. French sailors turned up in unexpected places, such as the Merion show- case. A haze of red pom-poms and the Marseillaise appeared at the swimming. pool. Neither are we forgotten, it would seem, by the would-be scien- tific experts from near-by, who ap- peared in great numbers at the Freshman Show. Rumor hath it that these invasions are not the last, and even we are inspired by a certain small Hope. Armed _ Forces OPINION |For Whom the Sirens Scream Enthusiastically Lauded By Junior To the Editor of the College News: Undoubtedly you will-_write a review of the Freshman Show— and say just what I am going to say—but the Freshman Show was so. good that whatever is said is worth repeating. Every year each class sticks out its chest and says, “Our Freshman Show was \the best Freshman Show.” For the first time people have been saying™‘This Freshman Show is the best’ Freshman Show, even better than ours.” This show has a minimum of elaborate costumes and scenery, but the omissions did not detract in any way. What was done in the way of “extras” was extremely interesting and effective. Particu- larly deserving praise was the plot; the dancing was well done, and in places very amusing; San- |dra Lieberman and Bev. Shy we unusually good. The songs we witty, the tunes catchy. Instead of being sung in the usual Fresh- man Show manner-being screamed to put the words across—all the choruses as well as the smaller groups sang beautifully. In many cases the harmony was_ profes- sional. And as for the animal—it speaks for itself. So here’s to ’46 and more Freshman Shows like For Whom the Sirens Scream. AN ENTHUSIASTIC JUNIOR. Erich Frank Speaks On Time and Creation Continued from Page One which fuses past and present through the function of our imagination. Thus the soul is connected with the memory and anticipation of passing time. The only resting point is the presence of God, who is the future towards which all souls aspire. The Greeks thought of time ob- jectively measured as compared to the Christians subjective theory. | Time was a cycle like the seasons and because of this cycle, a soul, even if it reached perfect happi- ness, will be thrown back .into the life cycle. The Christian theory is that the soul has no past but a fu- ture which is God. Modern man can never believe in the cycle idea even if he falls away .from reli- gion, therefore he must believe in a Christian idea-of creation. — This Christian idea of time has given rise to a new idea of ‘History is the recordi thing which will neve and each time something happens, something new enters the world. The modern concept of time rests. on the Christian idea of time and creation. This idea of God as a creator and of time beginning with the creation of mind is an imaginary conception of creation. It necessi- League Enlargement Is Seen; Tea Planned To Explain Activities By Nancy Scribner, °45 The Bryn Mawr League, one of the oldest organizations on campus, and_bearing a long-standing tradi- tion for valuable service to the community, is entering upon this year’s campaign to enlarge its ac- tive membership. To explain the work of the League and to afford to interested students, Freshmen especially, information about all its branches, a tea is being given next Tuesday, March 2, at 4:00, in the Common Room. Because the work of the League is distinguished by energetic and efficient assistance to the under- manned social services of the Main Line and Philadelphia, and is not a campus activity, there has grown up.among the student body a gen- eral ignorance and unawareness of the League’s value. It is hoped that this tea will stimulate interest, as the need expressed by the League is urgent. The responsibility for social service was accepted almost simul- taneously with the foundation of the College, and the League as- sumed its present form in the early twenties with its conversion from the Christian Association. Through- out the ensuing years it has ex- nanded its list of varied services and, until recently, has had a large contingent of students working with it. The Activities Drive is the only way in which all of the students contribute, but formerly many others have felt the impor- tance of this civil responsibility and take a sufficient interest in its work to join in. ba The work of the League is not limited to the academic year, but is a year-round contribution. Dur- ing the college months the mem- bers direct their activities towards Maid’s Bureau, playing with street- roving children of defense work- ers, reading aloud to, and enter- taining the blind, and participating in the Americanization of the for- eigners. The summer months find the underweight children of Phila- delphia’s. worst sections at the Bryn Mawr summer camp. .The League feels that this choice of activity offered to the students is large and varied, and that there must be at least one branch of its work in which each new member ean find fun and satisfaction. tates belief and shows the inde- pendence of human beings. The absolute idea of creation does not -| answer the problem rationally but —~—— just points the way. It keeps the sense of man’s own mysterious- ness alive within that creation. | Faculty.Show Tickets for the Faculty Show may. be bought at ‘the Publicity Office from 1:30 to 2:00 daily. THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three President, and Mrs. MacIntosh Discuss Problems in Teaching Deanery, February 18.—‘Teach- ing in schools is always new and vitally alive,” said Mrs. MaclIn- tosh, head of the Brearly School, at the vocational conference, where Mrs. MacIntosh and Miss McBride spoke on teaching in schools and colleges. Mrs. MacIntosh, stressing the fact that-..teaching in schools does not mean escape from reality, said it was an arduous and active pro- fession requiring many. contacts and every aspect of the teacher’s mind and personality. “A teacher can be the most im- portant single person in moulding a child’s entire attitude towards life,” said Mrs. MacIntosh. To the teacher belongs the excitement of producing something in a child, of interpreting to him the beauty, the principle, the truth in a sub- ject. Miss McBride outlined some dif- ferences between school and col- lege teaching. The chief interest in teaching in schools lies in watching the growth and develop- ment in a child rather than in the subject taught. The situation in colleges is altered. There is not| so much change in the student’s personality, and it is rather the student’s development toward the field which occupies his teacher. In college teaching is done with the hope that work in the field will be carried further. Each student becomes an independent agent whose relation to his professor is reciprocal. College teachers and students also usually do intensive _yesearch in their fields, and may have the opportunity to sustain hypotheses of their own. The Dreams of Youth Let us go you and I—But quick.

This group combined the richness of tone, for which Hampton’s singers are fa- mous, with a humorous spirit evi- dently added by the younger gen- eration. To the writer, it was ap- parent that here was a perfect ex- ample of evolution in folk-song. New arrangements of some num- bers, such as the guitar-like re- frain to Sleep, Kentucky Babe; the addition of pantomime to Do You Call That a Brother? and the inclusion of some songs which are distinetly not of the spiritual va- riety, like In My Castle on the River Nile, all show that this type Personnel Authority Will Speak Thursday At the second of the series of lectures in Personnel Administra- tion on Thursday, February 25, Mr. R.

Bryn Mawr Bryn Mawr 2060 | Spring really isn’t here but Refresh at the INN! oe THEATRE Harriet, a Failure as War Play And as Character Study, Says Oursler Specially contributed in try-outs by April Oursler, ’45 Harriet, a new play by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements, suc- ceeds neither as a war play, nor as a character study. It is carried into existence solely by the splen- did acting of the star, Helen Hayes. ¥ The Philadelphia papers hailed the play as “the greatest drama to come out of this war’’—but a war play must have more than an ap- plicable message and appropriate subject matter.~ Harriet does not. It has none of.the necessary vigor and appeal. Even with Miss Hayes’ interpretative powers, the play fails to tome alive enough to make it worthy of existence. The authors seem to have had a vague intention of relating the Civil War, a particular crusade against a particular kind of slav- ery, to the world conflict of today against the universal slavery of conquered and downtrodden peo- ples. It could have been worked into a good analogy, but it must have failed to interest. the play- wrights sufficiently—they seem to have forgotten it almost entirely during the play. Isolated speeches have been tacked on almost as after-thoughts, but they are so ob- viously planted that they merely irritate the audience. When Mrs. Stowe is comforting her little boy, Freddie, after the scare of a “Ken- tuck” raid on the free Negro dis- trict near their home, she sudden- ly turns to those around her and remarks on the sad condition of all those enslaved in dirty, cruel fac- tories, with no Abolitionists to worry about them. Her speech ended, the play goes calmly back to its story of family life. At the end of the play, Mrs. Stowe climbs on a hassock to address the towns- people, describing her visit with President Lincoln, and her realiza- tion of the world-shaking signifi- cance of the Civil War—of the eternal fight against all slavery in ; this world. With a surge of emo- |tion she shouts, “And mine eyes | hove seen the glory—”; a soprano ‘from the townspeople starts the | Battle Hymn of the Republic, and ia glow of patriotic fervor and of |great accomplishment descends on 'the whole cast, as they face ma- 'soda or too much water with veg- | jestically out the window. | etables, destroy vitamin supply. All of which is very inspiring, or could be, if there were a general continuity of the theme in the ac- | tion of the play. As it is, it would have been better with no attempt at relating it to the present day. | Miss Hayes, as usual, gives a | great performance, an amazingly convincing interpretation for such |a poorly written part. Moving | against a background of exagger- jated, over-acted characters, she | brings out by her every movement the youthfulness, patience and kindliness which characterized Mrs. Stowe. It was not her énter- pretation, but the lack of explana- tion in the play for any of her ac- tions or reactions, that was re- sponsible for the play’s failure as ia character study. “The rest of the characters are 'an unimaginative and over-typical lot..

Or married. Or maybe he just didn’t have a job to offer. But yesterday we learned our doom. In a far-a- way army camp somewhere in the United States, Private Kirkpatrick, haggard, white and with a look of wild despair in his eyes, came to Lieutenant Kirkpatrick holding a tattered letter in his hands: “Sir,” he said (for he never forgot. mili- tary etiquette), “Please take this letter.

RUGS % LAMPS Hobson and Owens Lancaster Avenue RECO CR OCHRE NRL NL LLOLE ion First of all, is the WAAC really needed? Emphatically yes! Already the President has authorized the Corps to expand from 25,000 to 150,000. The Air Forces and Signal Corps have asked for thousands of WAAC mem- bers to help with vital duties. Both Ground Forces and Services of Supply are asking for thousands more. Members of the WAAC may be assigned to duty with the Army any- where — some are already in Africa and England. Can the WAAC really help win the war? The whole idea of the WAAC is to replace trained soldiers needed at the front. If American women pitch in now to help our Army (as women in Britain, Russia and China do), we can hasten Victory — and peace. What can my college education contribute? College training is important equipment for many WAAC 7a > duties too long to list. Cryptography, drafting, meteorology, laboratory work, Link trainer and glider instructing, for ex- ample. If you are a senior you may enroll at once and be placed on inactive duty until the school year ends. See your WAAC faculty adviser for more details. @ But can I live comfortably on WAAC pay? There are few civilian jobs in which you could earn clear income, as WAAC enrolled members do, of $50 to $138 a month — with all equipment from your toothbrush to cloth- ing, food, quarters, medical and dental care provided.

The most beautiful women in America today are the girls in khaki! Some calisthenics and drilling are vital to general good health, discipline and tuned-up reflexes. After a few weeks at Fort Des Moines, Daytona Beach or the new Fort Oglethorpe training center you’ll feel better than ever in your life. Maybe I wouldn't like the work? People are happiest doing what'they do well. Every effort is made to place you where your service will count most toward final Victory. You may have some latent talent that will fill a particular need for work interesting and new to women — such as repairing the famous secret bombsight, rigging parachutes, operating the fascinating new electronic devices — or driving an Army jeep over foreign terrain. Then I have a chance to Icarn something new? Yes, indeed. And the list of WAAC duties grows constantly. - The training and experience you get in the WAAC may equip you for many stimulating new careers opening up for women. What are my chances of promotion? Excellent. The Corps is expanding rapidly and needs new officers, both commissioned and noncommissioned. Those who join now have the best chances. All new officers now .come up through the ranks. If qualified, you may obtain a commission in 12 weeks after beginning basic training. What is the age range and other requirements? Very simple. You may join if you are a U. S. citizen, aged 21 to 44, inclusive, at least 5 fect tall and not over 6 feet, in good health — regardless of race, color or creed. But the Army needs.you now—don’t delay. Total War won’t wait!
