WAR DECLARATION STIRS CAMPUS Drastic Naval Losses in Pacifie Sustained by U. S., Says Sheean Germans Are Behind — ; The Japanese “Attack Goodhart, December 8.—During the past 36 hours the United States has suffered its greatest humilia- tion, said Vincent Sheean, famous war correspondent, in his lecture Monday evening. “In 36 hours we have lost more ships to the Japan- ese than England has lost during the entire war,” he said, and de- scribed the Hawaiian attack as “the greatest reverse of its kind in the history of the world.” This attack has been planned for weeks. The Japanese attacked in the German fashion. They struck everything possible at once. “The Germans made the plan, and they'll come into this when they are ready,” stated Mr. Sheean. “Although the attack itself has taken place, the realization of its significance has not yet reached the Americhn people.” A few weeks ago when he was talking with naval authorities, they stated that in the event of war, Japan would “withdraw everything to her own bases.” f Experts believed that the East coast would be bombed last night. Between September 9, 1940, and April 22, 1941, the Pan-Siberian railway was open. During this time .German planes, better than any we possess, and thousands of German technicians went into Ja- pan. Japan’s ally, Germany, has been successful in every venture so far except in the Rostov campaign this past week, stated Mr. Sheean. He is mystified by the dispatch from Berlin stating that the Ger- mans have given up the attack on Moscow for this winter, believing it may lead to a Russo-German truce. Guam, Wake Island, and Mid- way Island, our stepping stones to Japan, have all been captured. And “with our present naval forces in the Pacific, we are unable to re- capture them.” “Tonight,” said Mr. Sheean, “I hope American bombers are flying over Tokio, from Vladivostok, with loads of incendiary bombs.” Alliance Enlists Many; New Courses to Add To Defense Activity The Alliance hall meetings held on Monday evening to enlist work- ers were met with great response. Eighty per cent of the student body enrolled immediately for service on the committees for Forum, Speakers’ Bureau, Re- search, and community work. The declaration of war gives the Sheean Reemphasizes Fears in Interview We rode into North Philadelphia with Vincent’ Sheean, to help him catch his train. He did not enlarge on the facts and indicated figures which he had presented in’ Good- hart; but his conversation and state of mind were even more ser- ious than we had felt before. He believes the United States has suf- fered the greatest defeat it has known, that our prestige is gone and that we are on the defensive, completely. For one thing, Mr. Sheean was deeply alarmed by Russia’s failure to declare war on Japan. He be- lieved that Stalin may come to terms with Germany and we may have to do without the base at Vladivostok which, he declared, we must have. We asked about retaliation on Japan. He said that-we-ean bomb Tokio; but that the city burns every winter, and every winter is rebuilt — that therefore bombing Japan is not efficient. He was more concerned about the possibil- ities that San Francisco, the Pan- ama+Canal, and the eastern -sea- board, were to be bombed that night; he said that the Roosevelts Sunday. He admitted, however, that he» had not spoken to the President at all. He did not give any of the sources of his rather sensational news from Washington. We liked Mr. Sheean very much. We are sure that he believes im- plicitly that the facts and the sit- uation that he revealed to the au- dience in Goodhart on Monday night were true. We admire his Continued on Page Six Health Problems and Pay Day Discussed At Council Meeting The Infirmary—its functions and relation to college life, and possi- ble changes in the Pay Day sys- tem—made up the chief business of the December meeting of the Council. A college, Miss Park said ought to train itself in keep- ing well; health should be a major concern of every student. The most discouraging aspect of her work at the Infirmary, Dr. Leary said, is to see that a large percentage of all illness is a direct result of students having let them- selves get run down. There is nothing glamorous about staying up all night, nothing interesting about being run down.

President Eliot said to Miss Thomas, then Dean, “I give you six months be- fore you will have to close the doors of Bryn Mawr College.” To- day at the anniversary assembly, Kitty McClellan introduced Presi- dents of Self-Government, who file explained the problems in her ‘time of the organization which was to have been the “downfall of the college.” Mrs. Richard Fitzgerald, was President in 1893 “when the atten- tion of the world, as well as of the funny papers, was focussed upon us.” The problem then was to re- lieve the faculty of disciplinary ac- tivities while conforming with the standards of the day. Mrs. Edward Evans, president in 1907-08 felt “horribly superior” at the first intercollegiate Self- Government conference at Vassar; installed proctors in Taylor to keep students quiet in the halls between class rooms and when cuts were announced; and controlled cheer- ing in the dining room. In 1914 Mrs. Russell Wilson found noise her chief concern. A young man who constantly swooped over Taylor in the newly invented aeroplane, attractive Haverford Youth, smoking and the “Young Temptations” added to her worries. The latter were young, unattached professors, against whom Miss Thomas warned the studens at the opening assembly. In 1928-29 Self-Government, un- der Miss Rosamund Cross, now head-mistress of Baldwin School, shook the civilized world by per- mitting smoking, simplified the ‘rules, allowed athletics after two o’clock on Sunday and tried to curb ‘sloppy dressing. _ P “Continued on Page Two College Assembles in Goodhart — To Hear Roosevelt’s War. Speech Mr. Cameron States Air Raid Precautions The college at the request of the Federal Government has instituted a system of air raid precautions. To this has been .added..an. organi- zation to provide emergency first aid. The problem of fire fighting is scheduled to be taken up immedi- ately. We print below the statement of Mr. Alister Cameron, chief air raid warden of the college, and the in- structions issued to the college at the general meeting in Goodhart on Wednesday at 1.30 P. M.: “Air-raid precautions’ are being taken in the college because the country is at war. In itself the fact that we are at war is sufficient justification for an immediate and thorough establishment of an air- raid protection system. Our hunches about strategy or our sensitivity to unfounded reports should have no effect on procedure. The college is now_ready to-deal-with an-air-raid alarm. The success of our execu- tion of our emergency plans de- pends upon the efficiency of our air- raid wardens and the intelligent response of the whole college com- munity to the directions of the wardens. The general statement of our ar- rangements, thus far, follows: The air raid wardens for the area of Bryn Mawr College have been appointed and are as follows: Senior Air Raid Wardens: Alister Cameron, Dqnald Wa MacKinnon, Julia Ward. Air Raid Wardens: Karl L. Ander- son, L. Joe Berry, T, R. S. Broughton, Anne Coogan, Winfield Daugherty, Alice Hawkins, Dorothy Macdonald, Bleanor Nahm, Cleta O. Robbins, Jos- eph C. Sloane, Jr., Arthur C. Sprague, Edward H. Watson, Dorothy Wyckoff, Dora Benedict, Patricia Saint Law- rence. Air Raid Wardens for the Halls: Denbigh Hall: 1. Mary Gumbart, 2. Sally Jacob.

The meeting was silent, mo- tionless, during the long description of historical precedent, of the Pres- idential escort, and during the speech- itself: Impressive was the unanimous restraint of the college, and its quiet reception of the Na- tional Anthem at the end. Sunday, the aftermath of the dance disappeared quickly. As word of the Pearl Harbor attack spread through smoking rooms and show- casés, Army and- Navy escorts of the previous night left precipitously for their posts. Far into Monday morning people sat around radios. At lunch tables Congress’ decision blared from. portables. In smoking rooms crowded with listeners the silence was broken only by scattered remarks: “My brother is in Honolulu.” Then more silence. But by Monday the inertia had been translated to a need for action. There was talk about leav- ing college; people called up their families;. rumors circulated, emo- tion mounted. Although some classes considered the subject of America’s entrance into the war, there was a general lack of co-ordinated discussion, A meeting on Tuesday evening for the planning of air raid precautions was the first step taken by the col- lege as a whole in the direction of united action on the war emer- gency. May Day Defeated Fifty-five per cent of the undergraduates—.voted last Thursday not to give a Big May Day in 1942. Forty-six per cent voted in favor of the 1942 production. Most halls were fairly evenly divided with the margin against May Day. Rhoads showed a much greater percentage con, Rockerfeller pro. There will be no May Day this spring, the president of the Under- graduate Association an- nounced. Faculty Voices Back to Work Sentiments; Remembers College Reaction to Last War Faculty reactions were super- ficially scanned after the first two days since the outbreak of the war. The opinion most often expressed was that students should not allow their emotions to obscure the im- portance of what at present may appear to be unimportant — their academic work. Mrs. Manning The war will not immediately affect the college, Mrs. Manning explained. It will take some time before facts are tested in Washing- ton and regulations put into effect here. “People had better work very hard and get their minds off of it,” she said. Miss Gardiner _ Miss Gardiner was a a4 Bryn Mawr at the time th United States declared war on Germany in 1917. War was de- clared, however, at the beginning of spring vacation so that when students returned a week later there was nothing comparable to the situation here Sunday and Monday. There were then only six weeks remaining in the college year, so that despite talk of insti- tuting preparedness courses imme- diately, little: was actually. done until the’ following fall. Miss Gardiner remembers particularly that thére was always an Ameri- can flag flying from Taylor and “We sang the Star Spangled Ban- ner every time we turned around.” Miss Thomas in chapel continually stressed the importance of trained minds in the next generation and Purged students to remain at col- lege rather than follow their first Continued on Page Six, \ * eee ETT ES | oo Page Twe THE COLLEGE NEWS THE COLLEGE NEWS (Founded in 1914) Pa., and Bryn Mawr College.

There aren’t many sure things left. History is subtle; it plays with the same cards, but the deal is different, and there is no one who can say what will lie ahead. There is no one who can be right about the meaning of the past. No one who could point to the course of the war; it has no prescribed direction. After the radio told us about the Japanese invasion, after the banner heads told us about the losses, after the President’s voice rang through Goodhart, after Sheean made us visualize defeat, was there anything left to think? Is there anything sure? The sudden unity of purpose; that’s sure. That came as fer- vently and spontaneously to Bryn Mawr as it came to the Nation. And the growing determination, that is sure. We have learned since Sunday, that it’s important to keep in step, to move efficiently in our own paths, to stick to clear, feasible goals, to work hard at the immediate problem. We have learned: The need for teamwork, endurance, patience, The need for long-range thinking, for calm, for decision. The need for training ourselves here and now in science, social leadership, of training for freedom. We have been fighting for the facts throughout the last few days. They haven’t been plentiful. But through the midnight broadcasts, the air-raid drills, the incredible drama of real war, there are these sureties: We know what we’re after. We know that we'll win. We know our immediate task.

On Saturday a Panel Dis- cussion concerning the economic, political, social, and cultural as- pects of the subject opened the con- ference with four experts holding the floor. Our own Dr. Fenwick provided'the pep and color: he pro- | voked the liveliest of discussions by saying regional solidarity is short- sighted.. The welfare of both Americas depends on Europe and Asia as well as on each other. Mr. Hubert Herring, author of the best-seller “The Good Neighbors,” spoke at dinner on the difficulties in_ attaining a harmony _of_inter- American cultural relations: the difference in language, the dissimi- larities of the so-called romantic Latin-American and the _hard- headed North American, the pres- ence or absence of too much polite- ness, and the deep cleavage in the inherited Anglo-Saxon and Iberian psychologies, besides the different views of government. ~ However, “American Solidarity is an imperi- ous necessity.” The main work was ‘done in three commissions on Sunday morning. The first commission considered Latin American Studies in U. S. Curricula and concluded ‘eriteriag of ‘a conference are stimu- that the basic study needed was| Spanish or Portuguese. Many col- leges already were found to have ample courses for the proposed, | practical inter-departmental major | in cultural Latin-American studies. This major would cost.little to set up as many courses could shift emphasis to include Latin-Ameri- can problems, e. g. Sociology, Trade Relations, etc. Correlation is the keynote. In Commission II, U. S. Stu- dents in Latin America was the subject. The personal contact was considered invaluable for students of both hemispheres as those stu- dents of today. will bgthe leaders in educatiegf, di y, trade, and so forth tomorrow. The exchange students in both continents were considered in Com- mission III. The attitude of the student was considered most im- portant; he should not go only for fun but in order to study what is most valuable for himself and his country. Looking on at the conference a fellow delegate remarked,. “Every author of the secondary sources ie a ba END.. F P There are lots of people, and they’re all different.

One of the most encouraging aspects of the conference was the large number of students from Latin America, who spoke with as much frankness as the North American collegian. As Louise Morley, Bryn Mawr, 1940, and Secretary of the I.S.S., said in her concluding speech, the lus of speech, realism of approach, and constructiveness of suggestion. This conference more than ade- quately fulfilled these conditions. It was well-organized and earnest; prepared individuals who had something vital to say collaborated smoothly.

A mob riot of 1,500, with shouts of, “Let’s go to Tokyo,” “To Hell with Hirohito,’”’ was Yale’s reaction to the declaration of war. Prince- ton met the news with a “Victory Bonfire.” A ‘“‘war-body” at Dart- mouth, “The Dartmouth Expedition for Tokyo,” was quickly organized. Out and out belligerency, with a fierce jubilation in it, was the tone of the Monday newspapers of the three colleges. The editorial in The Dartmouth expressed relief— the final release from the hypo- crisy; “all-out aid short of war;” a release from worry about “Wheelers” and “Lindberghs.” It is a. relief, to be able to-say: to Fascists: “You had best try your best to kill us, because whenever the time comes for us to do it, we shall certainly try to kill you, here and in all ‘lands, at any time, and by any possible means.” “Princeton Presents United Front as United States Faces Total War” streamed across the top of the Princetonian. But it must be a disciplined unity, rational patriot- ism. The role of the undergraduate body in the face of the crisis was the major concern of the editorials in these ‘issues. “Keep cool,” “Be calm,” “Maintain order.” These were felt to be the immediate du- ties. The diligent continuance of college work “is more valuable than an hysterical enlistment.” “Strong loyalty is just, but equal to event re ‘i CitY LIGHT'S a On Sunday when it began, Phila- delphia had an air-raid shelter. On Monday Philadelphia had no air- raid shelter—we gave it back to Pittsburgh (on urgent request). They had lent it to us for Defense Week. On Tuesday came the news that a full anti-aircraft regiment is on its way to Philadelphia. It is expected to total approximately 1,500 men. Furthermore, Mayor Samuel who has just been appointed defense co- ordinator for the Philadelphia Metropolitan area plans to discuss with the Philadelphia Transporta- tion Company the use of the sub- ways by civilians in the event of air raids. Philadelphians were quiet when and after the news came—they read the papers and kept quiet and 1,500 people crowded into the City Hall office of Deputy Chief Air Raid Warden all day Monday to volunteer as air raid wardens and watchers. In the last three months the service had only been able to get 3,000 people. The Philadelphia Defense Coun- cil chose Paul B. Hartenstein to fill the vacancy created by the recent resignation of Dr. Hubley Owen. Mr. Hortenstein’s valet will soon be out of a job, for the last we heard he was Japanese.

By Varsity Players and Haverford Club Heyniger, Dowling, Warren Perform Most mad By Nancy Evarts;.243 Friday and Saturday evenings the Varsity Players’ Club, in con- junction with the Haverford Cap and Bells, presented Stage Door. Although the play seemed flat with little build-up of suspense, the pro- duction was appropriately cast and effectively staged. Many individ- ual characterizations were’ out- standing. ‘ There was a discrepancy be- tween the two performances. The one on Friday night was more uni- formly satisfactory than the sec- ond one. On both nights the co- ordination of a large cast consist- ing of many small parts, the as; surance of the actors and somie completely convincing portrayals were remarkable. Anne Heyniger made the charac- ter of Terry Randall understand- able and human. The naturalness of her acting, even in the emotional scenes, was the most unifying ele- ment of the play. Mrs. Orcutt, a difficult part, was also played with absolute competency and finish by Janet Dowling; these two perform- ances were sustained and consis- tently effective. The other girls’ parts were done with understanding, especially those of Bernice, Judith and -Su- san. Carla Adelt as Judith and Nancy Scribner as Susan seemed to: act with more spontaneity and conviction than the others. Judith’s witty, but it is entirely to Carla’s credit that every one was-delivered with punch. Louise Allen gave an original and varied portrayal of Jean Maitland, and Vivi French handled intelligently, though hard- ly brilliantly, a role in which she seemed miscast. The boys, on the whole, were less successful than the girls. Dick Warren as Keith Burgess was the most convincing. David Winder seemed too mannered, not forceful enough, in his portrayal of Kings- ley. The parts of Mattie and Frank were played amusingly, with com- plete naturalness, by Pearl Ed- munds and Louis White. The chief fault of the produc- tion, which was expert in lighting, staging, and direction was perhaps that of the play itself. The lines were not always lively and many of the scenes seemed unnecessarily repetitious.

The sub-freshmen are by far the most avid of the translators, Miss Hatch adjured. And no matter what the product of the violent mental gymnastics to which they put themselves — whether nearer living bread descending from heaven or vivid pans descending from the ceiling—there follows a fit of hysterical giggling. Through giggles faintly comes the gasp of a small question. ‘‘Why is it in the dean’s office?” How easy it would be to snap out, “I don’t know,” which is the expected answer to such a question and which is cer- tainly what Mary Poppins, the en- igma of omniscience, would have answered.

There are many difficult implications of the simple answer. “Why was the chapel in the dean’s office?”—more giggles. It is really all quite nor- mal. The old chapel, which served some of the uses of the Goodhart Auditorium before Goodhart was erected, once extended from the ‘south epd of the second floor to the corridor adjacent to the dean’s of- fice.

Dr. Cole, associate professor of physiologyfat the College of Phy- sicians and-Surgeons at Columbia, has spent part of the last two or three years working toward a solu- tion of this problem. The Nerve Impulse was an ap- propriate topic for the second of the Tennent Memorial Lectures, which are sponsored by the Com- mittee on the Coordination of the Teaching of the Natural Sciences, for, as Dr. Cole pointed out, it in- volves’ physical, chemical, biologi- cal, as well as mathematical and psychological phenomena. The presence of nerves and their transmission of stimuli have been recognized for centuries, and many theories have been evolved ,about them. It was thought for a long time that a nervous impulse was carried by a liquid flowing in the nerves. Later, until someone looked at the cut end of a nerve in the dark, a beam of light was held re- sponsible. Nerves were the last stronghold of the ‘“imponderable spirits.” It was not until 1850, when Helmholtz accurately mea- sured the velocity of nerve trans- mission and found it to be 70 miles per hour, that research in this field was put-on-a.scientific basis. In 1910 Bernstein proposed the significant hypothesis that the transmission of a stimulus was based upon the difference in elec- tric potential between the inside and outside of a nerve cell,. result- ing from the semi-permiability of the cell-membrane. With a few modifications, scien- tists accept this theory today. A stimulus passing through a nerve changes the character of the cell membrane in such a way that its permiability is increased, and an outward flow of ions result. Since the loss of impermiability produces a loss in electric potential the nerve is incapable of transmitting stimuli until after a period of re- covery. Mr, Cole has evolved a “Venetian blind” or “flip-flop” model, which, he says, “has come in for unfriéndly comment,” to il- lustrate the way the period of re- covery follows the nerve impulse. “Only a nerve works better,” he said. ion, cathode ray, ossilograph, the study of nerve impulse has been put on a more. quantitative basis. Dr. Cole has been working with the nerves of squid, which are par- ticularly large. When one elec- trode of a circuit is pushed up into the center of a squid nerve and a current is passed through the nerve membrane, both the resist- membrane may be measured, and also the capacity—the stacking up of ions which can not pass through on one side of the membrane. When the nerve is then stimulated, it is seen that the resistance is lowered, indicating that the ion-permiable part of the membrane becomes still more permiable, whereas the ca- pacity remains unchanged. Semi-mathematical graphs may fe made of these electrical rela- tions, but many inexplicable phe- nomena persist to show, Dr. Cole said, that this field of research has been scarcely opened.

Discussing the attempts to regu- late strikes now on foot in Con- gress, Miss Hanson said that we are in for some regulation of strikes. _She pointed out, however, that in the last few years more strikes were settled by peaceful mediation than ever before. She described most of the Congressmen urging anti-strike legislation as “a group of people headed mainly by Southern Senators, who have been consistently --anti-labor, and who are now hiding behind the cloak of defense interest—dressed up in the American flag.” Miss Hanson said that even if Lewis had never called the strike in the captive mines they would have raised “a hullabaloo on some pretext.” The other side of the picture, said Miss Hanson, is too often ne- glected. A number of employers, notably Vultee, Bethlehem, and Kearny, refused to bargain with labor. In most cases labor’s de- mands are not unreasonable. Prof- it figures in industries basic to de- fense are “simply astounding” said Miss Hanson. In steel, shipyards and automobiles, 75% increase in profits of this year over last is a low figure. Labor’s increase this year over last is approximately 10%, said Miss Hanson, and this is “not near- ly enough to keep up with the an- ticipated rising cost of living.” Labor is not ready to defend juris- dictional strikes, said Miss Han- son, : Strikes are used by labor only as a last resort. If the right to strike were taken away from labor, said Miss Hanson, labor would have no power to enforce its demands. When labor demands are called Red demands (as they are particu- larly in emergency periods) labor has lost its “power to struggle on anything like equal terms.” | We have won honors as a - | truly fine hotel .. added degrees for the many “extra curricular” advantages we offer.

Hall Haverford, Thursday, December 4:—A make-shift round table dis- cussion by the International Rela- tions Clubs of Bryn Mawr and Haverford on the imminent danger of a Japanese war replaced a scheduledJecture--by Mr. Duncan Hall on The _ British. Common- wealth in the Present Crisis, Thursday. Mr. Hall, arriving late, emphasized the strategic impor- tance of Singapore in the Far- Eastern conflict. Informed on Far-Eastern rela- tions, Mr. Hall called Singapore “the front door of Australia.” The concentration of British, Austral- ian, and Dutch ships--and troops there makes this area virtually impenetrable. In view of this barfier, with the possibility of a coalition of Great Britain, Russia, the United States and Holland against her, Mr. Hall feels that Japan’s position is not to be envied. Mr. Hall implied that United States aid was needed to keep the Far-Eastern bases safe from a Japanese offensive. If Japan were to wedge her way to Siam, she would be able to prey on British shipping and thus seriously threat- en the communications of the Brit- ish Empire south of Cairo. The round table discussion brought: out two factors which fa- vor an immediate declaration of war by the United States on Ja- pan. Japan is steadily increasing her navy with both Japanese and German ships. Thus, a postponed war would strengthen her. Actual participation in war, moreover, would boost the morale of this country and unite defence efforts. ait a!

Next to the Movies FLYING TELEPHONE IF YOu couldn’t hear your own voice, you couldn’t regu- late its volume. If airplane pilots had to use an ordinary telephone instrument to talk to the airports, they'd find it impossible to hear their own voices above the roar of the motors. Therefore, they'd yell into their telephones and no one on the ground could understand them. So telephone engineers have developed a special radio-telephone instrument with two earphones and special circuits which “feed back” some of their own voices into the receivers. There’s no mouthpiece to get in the way, either. Instead there’s a throat microphone which picks up the pilot's voice with a minimum of motor noise. Now the pilot can hear himself talk and so he naturally speaks in the normal tone of voice which pe and clearest. You'll find that on amy telephone, the best results come from speaking not too loudly, nor in a.swhisper, but in a normal voice.
