Julio Al- verez Del Vayo, addressing the eighth War Assembly on Spain and the War, expressed his opin- ion that Franco Spain constitutes a hazard to an Allied invasion and is the root of the United States’ South American difficulties. The Spanish war of 1936-1939 was, in his opinion, the first battle of World War II. Pointing out that “it is very difficult to be neutral in this war’, he traced .the history and hopes of Spain in this conflict from the angle of her _ present predicament. The Spanish Republicans have never admitted France’s neutral- ity, a fact “surprising only be- cause it took so long to recognize”, Mr. Del Vayo said. When Mr. Stettinius and the British govern- ment proposed sending aid to Spain, Mr. Del Vayo opposed it on the ground that all material relief goes to Germany. This, however, has not influenced Argentina and other South American countries that send supplies. “Next month will prove whether or not it was too dangerous to al- .low the Franco regime to contin- Continued on Page 3 Maids’, Porters’ Show Reveals Comic Talent The success of the Maids’ and Porters’ production of “Gems Gowns and Gals” by Charles George was an immediate result of the spirit of the actors and the enthusiastic response of the audi- ence. Rather than being hindered by the unfinished acting and lack of stage presence, the perform- ance was heightened by the hilar- ity of the easy informality. The plot of the one act play centers in the discovery of a no- torious. jewel thief by a disguised detective and an ingenious model. Nokomis White of Wyndham showed great initiative in her in- terpretation of the leading role, while Merion’s Al Mackey was outstanding in his interpretation of the jealous and affectionate lover. These two sang the expressive duet, “Say Yes”. Playing the part of a detective disguised as a woman, Louis White of Denbigh displayed real comic talent. Clad in a_ white turban and silk print dress, Louis stole the show in his rendering of an embarrassed old maid on a shopping tour. Louise Jones of Pembroke was charming as Gaston de Vere’s as- sistant and showed exceptional poise and stage presence. The dif- ficult role of Gastcn, complete with French accent and fluttering gestures, was admirably portrayed by Pearl Edmonds of Taylor. Swaggering on the stage in an enormous fedora, Minnie Newton of Pembroke had difficulty in con- trolling her laughter which added to the general spirit of fun that pervaded the comedy. Denbigh’s Hilda Bryan and Mer- ion’s Vivian Drew were very con- vincing as the New York snobs Continued on Page 3 Comparison of Art Of West and Orient Discussed by Yahkub Goodhart, April 19. {n the last in his series of lectures on Indian Culture, Mr. Yahkub discussed Indian Art, its aesthetic values as formulated by the oriental mind and the general forms in which it appears. ‘Declaring that western medie- val and oriental concepts of. art are united in the belief that the artist and the object meet, he quoted Dante’s statement: “Who paints a figure, if he cannot be it, he cannot draw.it.” No art can be judged, he said, until we put our- selves in the place of the artist, and thus the self-identification of artist with object, and- spectator with artist repeats the process of creation. Taking the icon as an exam- ple, he declared Indian art to be ideal, not in appearance, but in operation. The formal element of art represents intellectual activity, as the icon is not natural in ap- pearance, but rather an ideal rep- resentation of ‘the parts of God. Thus a mental rather than visual ability to relate these parts is re- quired. Defects in the work of the artist are remedied by the spectators’ fixed views of the con- cept which the artist is trying to express. Worship is thereby paid to an image mentally conceived and the knower and known, the seer and seen meet in the act. A major difference between ori- ental and western art is. that the former represents a continuous state of things, not as they are at the moment, “but as they are in their source.” This disinterest. in transient effects is reflected in the lack of historical interest in In- dian art, Mr. Yahkub said. Occi- dentals might consider Indian art monotonous as the subjects are modeled on formal lines. Indian art is further character- Continueu on Page 4 H.

Ryrie, ’46), and the lid was off on an uproarious per- formance of Charley’s Aunt by the Haverford Cap and Bells Club and the Bryn Mawr Players’ Club. A bit dull in the first few min- utes, the play quickly gained mo- mentum and kept on going in high. The dialogue went with al- most professional smoothness and a good deal more zeal, while timing, staging and various other mechanical matters were expertly handled. Laurels Top laurels for acting went to Charles Ryrie. He did full justice to a meaty part, even adding to its comic possibilities by his res- trained slapstick. Where he learned the delicate craft of re- fusing proposals (“I couldn’t be happy. with a man like that’) is unknown, but he is a master. He also boasts a knack for matter of fact phrasing of odd statements. “Where’s my antimacassar?” he asks in an offhand fashion or “Six pence worth of hairpins, Brassett.”’ This subdued manner carried Lord Fancourt nicely over his melodra- matic moments, though he was undoubtly more—convincingas-an aunt than as a young lover.

All four were quite competent, but they had no particularly brilliant lines. There were several .awk- ward moments, as in the clumsily done love’ scenes, for instance, which seemed as much the fault of the script as of the actors. Frank Martin, ’47 interpreted with humorous understanding a plump and somewhat hammy col- onel, while Laurence Steefel, ’47 as little Spettigue, another mid- dle-aged gallant, came close to stealing the show in spots. The bit players too were all that could be desired. Sets were effective and lighting, Continued on Page 3 Poetry, “Emotion’s Precipitate”, Should. Have Underlying Continuity, Says Marianne Moore by Patricia Behren, ’46 Asked to define her idea of po- etry, Miss Marianne Moore, one of the most distinguished modern poets, said that she feels poetry is “fact plus imagination”, as has been suggested by Wallace Stev- ens. “A poem”, she_ stated, “should have a continuity, should have an effect of underlying continuity. It should be articulated throughout as are the joints in a vertebrate.” “Poetry,” she continued, “is emo- tion’s precipitate”. Asked what she believes to be the place of poetry in the world today, Miss Moore stated, “First of all, I think it must be personal and a thing inevitable for the writer before it has a place in the world at large.” Miss Moore said that her ad- vice to young poets was not to undertake a subject unless irre- sistably attracted to it. “Feel- ing”, she said, “should be your guide.” Writing, Miss Moore continued, should be trying to set down “an unbearable accuracy.” Poetry, she explained, cannot written to order. - “I would refuse to-write”, said Miss Méore, “if I didn’t feel im- pelled to write.” Page Twvu -THE COLLEGE NEWS ~ * ¢ THE COLLEGE \NEWS (Founded in 1914) 4 Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examination weeks) in the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore, Pa., and | se Mawr College. / * ‘The College News is fully protected by copyright.

The feeling of its edit- ors that it should be allowed to die its natural death is shared by the campus as a whole. In view of this, we suggest that a new literary magazine, with a new heritage, be set up, in the belief that though the Lantern is dead, the creative writ- ing of the campus is not. In the last issue of the News, the editor of the Lantern advocated the discontinuation of the magazine, at least for the “duration.” This statement was made in answer to gen- eral campus comment, and an editorial in the News, suggest- ing a renovation of the Lantern, in the hope of giving it the new life necessary to regain its original prestige in the col- lege. In advocating its abandonment, the editor stated that “a lack of interest, a lack of material—based- on more than the apathy which a good publicity campaign could overeome— and also the salient fact of a lack of funds” had made it im- practical to continue publication at this time. With this we agree. Students have a feeling of disin- terest and contempt for the Lantern, a feeling generated by the very nature of the magazine. Within the last few years it has become unrepresentative, typifying only what has come to be called “the Lantern style.” The attitude of the upperclassmen has been absorbed by the Freshmen, and ‘at this time the Lantern appears to be hopelessly lost in a mo- rass of unfavorable prejudice. If the campus in general, and the present editorial board of the Lantern in particular, feel as they do about the maga- zine, then by all means it should be discontinued. This does not, however, preclude the possibility of the institution of another literary magazine, entirely new, free from the tra- ditional stigmas of the Lantern. We have heard again and again that there is a “dearth of literary material on campus.” Such a statement is entirely unfounded. In an unofficial survey made recently over fifty undergraduates were found ready to contribute to a literary magazine other than the Lantern. In addition to the work of the Experimental Writing classes, material of real value is turned in not only in English Composition, but in Mr. Au- den’s course in Verse. There is no dearth of material. There is merely a lack ‘of interest in the present magazine. We believe that a new one, with a new name and board, and a fresh start, would succeed in attracting these contributions, The institution of a new campus organ is a thoroughly practical idea. Subsidy could be obtained from the Under- graduate Association, or from interested alumnae. With enough capital to enable the magazine to return to a regu- lar, printed format, an opportunity for advertising would be provided, and the way made clear for the new organization to rise to financial independence. The new magazine can survive no better than the Lan- tern without campus support. Interest in the Lantern has _long since petered out, but interest in writing has not dis- from the campus. A new magazine, formed by and for popular interest would succeed. WITS.

The program is an opportunity for those who have never seen modern dancing to watch and dis- cuss the subject. Samples of tech- nique will be shown in the Bryn Mawr Group studies of Leaps and Falls, and~in a waltz by Ravel. Mrs. Taiz and her/group will do the interpretive dancing. Mrs. Taiz, a well-known.

In this number the poem will be read by a reader. International Labor Organization The present conference of the International Labor Or- ganization at Philadelphia offers interesting suggestions as to the attitudes and influences which will dominate post-war attempts at international cooperation. All the participants indicate a willingness to cooperate, but the larger nations appear unwilling to surrender any of their sovereign rights, a procedure essential to the effective operation of joint ac- tion. Further, a disinclination to accept on an equal basis those nations with fascist affiliations is apparent. An organization of delegates from countries interested in cooperation on international labor policy, the ILO meets periodically to discuss such problems as may arise. It is com- posed of four delegates from each member nation, two rep- resenting government, one representing labor, and one man- agement. s The first indications that national sovereignty remains the keynote of government policy in the United States and Britain appeared in the Philadelphia conference when the Australian delegate proposed that a committee be constitut- ed as a means of stabilizing high rate of employment after, the war, with a decision binding upon the member govern- ments. The American labor delegate offered an alternative proposal that national economic policy be coordinated by those concerned: labor, management, and government. This was accompanied by support of the principle of internation- al cooperation, but it does not erase the stigma of American cpposition to the Australian proposal as an effective means of putting this principle into practice. Further, the recent Russian demand that a new ILO, based upon the United Nations, be formed, serves to indicate Russian national aspirations of dominating internatioal labor discussions. The present ILO is a part of the League of Na- tions machinery and is financed by League funds. Since Rus- sia was expelled from the League following her attack upon Finland in 1939, she has consistently refused to send dele- gates to any ILO conferences, despite the pleas of the Allies that-she participate. The attempt of the smaller nations to atnal the Argen- tinian labor delegate indicates a refusal on the part of United Nations members to deal with organizations influenced by fascist propaganda, even in discussions dealing chiefly with post-war problems. This attitude, if continued, does not bode well for effective post-war cooperation, but it is quite poss-! ible that the lesser of the United Nations will recede from such a conclusive position when the fervor of war spirit has ceased to be such a decisive factor.

I have been asked by the mem- bers of the Sophomore Class Nom- inating Committee, elected to choose nominees for the office of Common Treasurer, to set forth the policy adopted by the Commit- tee in making its choice. We strongly and sincerely feel that in a class as large as_ ours there is much “unused talent”. Many good and dependable peo- ple were shoved into the _back- ground of class affairs in the chaos of Freshman year. There they have remained, working hard and well at important but seldom- publicized jobs. We feel that, when possible, they should be giv- en a chance to show their ability in larger and more’ impressive college offices. Common Treasur- er, being a new and relatively in- dependent office, is one in which the individual does not need to have served an apprenticeship on an organization board. On the other hand, we believe that only people who have been consistently holding large campus offices are truly eligible. for cer- tain elections. We would hardly think, for instance, of nominating someone next spring for Self-Gov- ernment president who is not al- ready well acquainted with the du- ties of the office. We do feel, though, that in an office such as Common Treasurer general ability and dependability are of more importance than the holding of a large number of oth- er offices. In fact, the treasurer’s office requires so much time that one cannot perform its. duties thoroughly while continuing to hold overly-many offices. To conclude, we hope voting the college will seriously econsider—our-—- choices. We feel that the nominees are good repre- sentatives of those who form the strength of our class. We hope that the college will agree with us. that. in Very sincerely, Patricia Brehrens, ’46 Owl Swimming Team Ends 1943-44 Season With a score of two victories and two losses on its 1943-44 rec- ord, the Varsity swimming team have folded their water wings for the season and settled down to add up their points, patting them- selves on their well-muscled backs.

Del Vayo Discusses Spain and the War | Continued - from Page 1 ue”, stated Mr. Del Vayo. The symptoms of Nazism,in Spain are shown by the attitude of the Spanish press, which is now agt- tating for-peace. It suggests that Russia is the menace, and that the Allies should make a separate peace with Germany, then build up a “world coalition” against Rus- sia. A second danger, Mr. Del Vayo felt, is Spanish espionage and airfield construction prepara- tory to a counter-attack when the Allies invade. According to Mr. Del Vayo, the “Spanish situation projects itself in South America”, where a “great Nazi conspiracy,” directed princi- pally against the United States. already exists. The Argentine “coup d’etat” led to the building up of a real Fascist party in South America. Mr. Del Vayo stated that agents are transport- ed on Spanish ships, a procedure which the British navy permits since these are neutral. Mr. Del Vayo said that in 1936 the Republicans were “fighting not only in Spain, but for the same cause for which we are fight- ing now.” Emphasizing his con- viction that Hitler will be defeat- “ed, he outlined the three alterna- tives for post-war Spain. Monar- chy, he stated “is finished forever”, and had its end in the democratic election of April 14, 1931. The Franco regime is odious to 90 per cent of the Spanish .--population. He feels that the people of Spain have already chosen democracy as their form of government and that their present situation re- quires thé expulsion of the Nazis from Spain and a regime with strong popular support. Charley’s Aunt Miss Moore Shows Conflicts in Poetry Of Precision, Feeling Deanery, April 20. Taking as her theme “The Continual Conflict in Poetry Between Feeling and Precision”, Marianne Moore, dis- tinguished modern poet and Bryn Mawr graduate, discussed the ef- fects of precision upon poetic style. Miss Moore pointed out that in order to write readable poetry it is necessary.to combine precision and feeling. “Poetry which is all feeling, ” she said, “becomes cryp- tic or over-condensed.” In good poetry, however, pre- cision appears spontaneous. “When we think we don’t like art,” stat- ed Miss Moore, “it is artificial art.” Baton For an example to illustrate Aer point, Miss Moore took the con- ductor’s baton. Although the ba- ton is used with the utmost pre- cision, it starts so far back that one cannot tell where the down beat comes. : It is true precision, however, and-not-mere affectation which is needed in poetry, she pointed out. “Feeling”, said she, “has departed from anything that has on it the touch of affectation.” “Writing”, concluded Miss Moore, “is feeling modified by the writer’s technical and moral in- sights.” Following the discussion, Miss Moore read some of her own poems and answered questions.

Ber- ry returned to the campus to speak on “Human Nutritional -Deficiencies.” Mr. Berry, who is now doing research in the nutri- tional clinic of the Hillman Hos- pitla at Alabama, confined his re- marks to the vitamin deficiency as it exists in the South. “The peo- ple who are victims of vitamin de- ficiencies,’” Mr. Berry explained, “are victims of a disease over which neither they nor the south has. any control, for it is a nation- al problem.” The most common causes of vit- amin deficiency are “not eating proper food in proper quantities, glandular upset and food idiosyn- cracies like the ‘Tea and Toast League’ of Chicago who exclude _«"*“everything else from their diet.” In the South, however, the most obvious reasons for vitamin defic- iency is the unvaried diet consist- ing of corn meal, pork and sugar. Using slides to illustrate the startling work that has been ac- complished by the application of vitamins, Mr .Berry discussed the use of thymin, nicotinic acid and riboflavin by the clinic. The treat- ment in the Hallman Hospital for those who have vitamin deficien- cies is to restore the lacking vita- mins and then to rehabilitate the patients. Conceptions of Art _ Compared by Yahkub Continued from Page | ized by the philosophical belief that beauty is not an object of knowledge, but a hypersensitive intuition of reality and identity. Conceiving the universal presence of reality as the immanence of the absolute, Indians believe that the absolute manifests itself in things great and small. Any theme may be the subject of art, and beauty becomes reality as experienced by the artist, and truth is reality ex- perienced by the philosopher. Perhaps the main technical dif- ference between Indian art and that of the western nations lies in the artist’s approach to his object and consequently the form in which it is recreated. In the art of the occident, a marked absence of circumscribing lines is appar- ent, the demarcation being felt rather than seen. For us the play of surface and the blending of po- sition is paramount, while in ori- ental art, the form is expressed in pure line. Examples of all stages of Indian art may be found in the rock-art temples of Ajanta, Mr. Yahkub said. .INo..less..great..than.Indian art is|-. Indian love literature. The beauty of Indian literature, independent of the sympathy derived from such qualities as tone and assonance, is valued for its ethical rather than for its aesthetic qualities, he said. It embodies. impassioned visions correlated with thought and devoid of sentimentality. In- dian music contains no melody, be- ing but a variation of notes. It is, like oriental religion, essen- tially impersonal, representing universal emotions. Indian sculp- ture, which is essentially dynamic, and possesses a fluidity of motion in which there is no halt or accent, reached the height of its develop- ment between the fourth and the eighth centuries. — : WHAT TO Do | Summer Jobs There is a great aie for nursery governesses and compan- ions for the summer.

"47 «as Petts Will Produce Schumann’s ‘Rodrigo 5 The annual dance play, to be held this year on May 11 and 12, will be presented in Wyndham Garden. The play, Rodrigo, is an original. work by Mr. Hans Schu- mann, pianist and accompanist to Miss Petts’ dancing classes. | Rodrigo is the last in a series of four productions written by Mr. Schumann specially for Bryn Mawr. There is, according to plan, one play for each year spent in college, and every student has an opportunity of viewing each fantasy of the entire group only once. The series is arranged in a gradation of increasing complex- ity. The first, Sleeping Beauty, is distinguished for its simplicity, both in the quality and color of its music and in the skill neces- sary to its dancers. Only a small number of performers participate in this cast. Cinderella, the second of the foury gains in difficulty of per- formance as well as in musical construction and technique, while the number of characters is mark- edly increased. A comparable expansion of complexity is seen in The Gold- spinners, and the greatest intri- cacy is achieved in this year’s pro- duction, Rodrigo. All of the works have, as a bas- is for their stories, the authentic versions of well-known fairy tales and fantasies. A Chinese legend forms the core of Rodrigo, but much of the plot motivation and the final moral has been re-adapt- ed from the Oriental perspective to a form more acceptable to wes- tern audiences. A preview performance of the music from Rodrigo will be ren- dered by Mr. Schumann on May 7. Owls Will Open Baseball Season on Friday —~—c m= According to Gov’t Orders to Lift Morale ~ By Carol Ballard °45 Somehow, get nine men togeth. er and in these days it will easily pass for a baseball team even if you have to snatch the popcorn vendor out of the concessionaire’s office. That was done once but only for batting practice, we has- ten to add. This year the vendor might véry easily find himself on the team. Washington’s decree is that baseball will help civilian morale, so not even the rain and sleet and snow of spring training must pre- vent the national pastime from going on. But we might question whose morale really needs to be boosted . and doubtless ‘almost everyone would vote for the base- ball players and the managers themselves. So the whole thing continues in a vicious circle and .only gets worse and worse. ‘Soon the pop- corn vendors can’t ibe called on since every day they are getting nearer the draft age. From day to day no one can tell whether a manager will be able to get a team together for the next game. So many new players come up from the sandlots, the coaches can’t tell to whom they are giving away their closely guarded signals.
