Repeating the experiment of last year, campus organizations will pool their demands for funds and attack the once instead of heckling them with separate drives carried on through- out the whole year. The goal to be reached this year is 5500 dollars. This lump sum will satisfy all the needs of the Bryn Mawr League (including the Bryn Mawr Camp and the Bryn Mawr Summer School), the Peace Council, the Players’ Club and the Refugee Student Fund.

B.-or B. S. degree. The prizes include two careers with Vogue, a special Vanity Fair award for fea- ture writing and cash prizes for the five best contest theses—to be purchased for publication in Vogue. Each entrant must fill out an entrance blank to be mailed im- mediately, or later with the an- swers to the first quiz. The con- test will consist of two parts, first a series of four quizzes to be an- swered by all entrants; second, a thesis which only those entrants who receive passing marks on the four quizzes are eligible to. submit. Papers will be graded on these points: Clear and vivid writing, originality of ideas, fashion knowl- edge derived from a study of Vogue, and general information. _ The judges of the contest will be the Editors of Vogue. Their deci- sion will be final. The winners of the Prix de Paris will be an- nounced on or about June 1, 1941. Entry blanks: may be “obtained from Madge Lazo, Rhoads South.

The school, once located on the Bryn Mawr campus, has been, for twenty years, offering courses to woman workers. But the school is not an academic one. Its entire emphasis is in breaking down the barriers of prejudice, in gathering and ap- plying information, in stimulating clear thinking and in making de- mocracy meaningful. The prevalent spirit of the school was a spontaneous sense of co-operation, of practical demo- cratic living. The workers were drawn from all over the country and from Canada as well. Many industries, many opinions, many religions and races. were. repre- sented. Experience and _ back- ground varied; ages ranged from twenty to thirty years. Some of the girls had never gone to high school. One attended law school at night.

She will be at college each week from Sunday till Tues- day, and will be staying in room 24, Rockefeller. Last Sunday at ten-thirty Miss Rice and five stu+ dents played in Goodhart for the first time this year. These infor- mal Sunday morning concerts will be continued all winter. On Mondays and Tuesdays Miss Rice will have practice groups for players of varying ability. The most outstanding addition to the group this year is Judith Stephen, an English graduate student, who plays the oboe. The ensemble will play on Saturday night of the Alumnae Week-end, Translations Become Weird and Wordy As the German Oral Rolls Around Again wt By aanae “Martin, | 143 T As it is now technically autumn, everything from the weather to the intellect should be cool and keen. But autumn has seemingly not yet come into her own on the Bryn Mawr Campus, for, last Sat- urday when the German Oral was taken, there were distinct traces of the lazy, stupefying days and-ways of summer. The deteriorating ef- fect of these traces is clearly evi- dent in the following translations ~ Of various passages on the Oral.

The proceeds will purchase a Brit- ish ambulance unit, to bear the name of the college. The substance of the benefit is as yet but a mys- terious shadow. It does promise, however, to contain attractions of a musical nature. The benefit will be held in ac- cordance with the plans of the British - American Ambulance Corps. These have already been met by the overwhelming enthusi- asm of many American schools and colleges who wish to help fill this critical need of the British nation. President Park Emphasizes Need the Civilized Life Students Must Understand Democratic Methods Clearly Goodhart Auditorium, October 1. President—Park,-in-her—address~at the opening Chapel of the fifty- sixth academic year of Bryn Mawr College, spoke of the necessity of maintaining, in these times,. our belief in the civilized life. Practi- cal action must. be taken: we must “act quickly to prevent such civil- ization as we now have from dis- appearing at the hands of the to- talitarian-group of states”; but we must, with equal determination, “sharpen our minds to work over, to strengthen and to broaden our only road to our only end—the processes of democracy.” _We have returned to a college improved in facilities and in op- portunity, but we cannot stand apart from the events which have brought our country to the edge of war. To those for whom the civil- ized life is an ideal, democracy of- fers only a procedure which will bring about “a certain desired and desirable kind of life” for our- selves and others. The totalitarian states also employ processes, but to a different end—an end which is Continued on Page Five Undergraduate Board Stresses Point Rule The Undergraduate Association Board feels that the function of its Point Committee is.a necessary one and should be explained at the beginning of the college year. Under the point system, approved by the callege, no student may hold offices exceeding forty points. No exceptions will be allowed this year although a few have been made in the past. By such rigidity in the rule, undergraduates will be able to ayoid. embarrassing situa- tions arising from a misunderstand- ing of the system.

Quickly Develops Freshman Horde Deseends on Bryn Mawr; Precocious Individuals By A. M. Ellicott, ’42 Last week a verdant freshman approached a member of the wel- coming..committee, and asked with deference and humility where she could find some seniors. The wel- comer answered. with customary upper-class frankness, “I’m terribly sorry, but there aren’t any. They have all graduated.” She was quite right. horde of newcomers has descended upon the campus and has - an- nounced that they are Aa. class of 1944." They arrived en masse on Thurs- day, looking much too frivolous ‘to be Bryn Mawr students. One wandered dreamily into a smoking room the first evening and asked, “Do you think I -can really get giving?” Another was overheard to remark to a companion, “Do you see all those naked seniors? Vogue says that you must wear knee- length socks.” Some, however, were ready to learn. One, standing in Rhoads’ main hall, carefully inquired the And in their place, a| |fuses to“debate the “issues;: Rhoads’ North. Another was found quietly putting herself to bed one night by flashlight. She thought it was against, regulations to keep lights barat after ten- thirty. Some freshmen are showing a tendency toward pernicious pol- itical practices. One stationed her young and very engaging brother at the door of the Dean’s office, primed with a pocketful of Willkie buttons, which he thrust upon all comers. A Roosevelt partisan re- flourishes a Landon badge instead, as the most subtle form of devas- tation she can think of. Ginny Nichols. has- made a_pro- found impression on the fresh- men. One was indignant when her +Hall Presidént asked her if she was signing out correctly. “Sure,” she said, “That braided dame gave me permission.” On the whole the freshmen have absorbed the Bryn Mawr ‘philoso- phy remarkably well.

He con- tinued to say that academic freedom was non-existent for students and was to be used by the faculty only so far as it agreed with the university’s goal of service to the-government “in the war between 8 beasts and: men.” We look to universities as havens for freedom of thought. This liberty is not one to be dictated but essentially belongs to the individual scholar, No aim of any university can be so lofty as to displace the goal of freedom of thought. Dr. Butler is not the only one guilty of this offense. Any undergraduate may be equally, open to criticism if she bars this principle of academic freedom from her own mind. We must form opinions one way or other today and those who “sit on the fence” are escapists. But once we have formed an opinion, we must continue to test honestly opposing argiiments and allow them access to our minds, To have an open mind is to maintain the basic principle of education, Please! y Last year the collective drive for campus activities was an expegiment. We hope it becomes an institution, To be a success, the drive makes one demand—that everyone must co-operate to the best of her ability. Those who have more than the eleven dollars asked, should give more. Those who cannot afford eleven dollars should give what they can afford. The bene- fits resulting from thesdrive—such as free plays, removal of pledge cards, League work, and aid to charities—are common’ benefits. No matter how small the contribution is, it adds to the total sum and the donor who has given ‘what she can afford has paid her share of the general fund, If the college does not unanimously support the collective drive, the old system of individual campaigns for all organizations and charities must ‘return. NUTS and BOLTS | Furniture Sale The Vassar Furniture Exchange is oné of the most interesting and educational places we know. You not only can buy lamps and beds} and chairs, but you also have a psychologist’s chance to study the character range of Vassar students. The time to go is before the freshmen have arrived. The wel- coming committees and the girls} from the self-help houses are get- | ting settled, and only a_ small, friendly crowd have ‘become bar- gain-counter conscious. You are then able to walk slowly through, fingering price-tags and. trying out chairs. You can.rest unmolested on dusty couches, jump _on_has- socks, and pull out drawers by the dozen. The front room is a tired girl’s paradise—row on row of day beds pushed together to form one tre- mendous pillow. You are allowed to walk dreamily across their soft surfaces, until you find a coveted spot. In the larger back room reside thé armchairs, the sea of tables and—bureaus. If you. are vain you can sit in a comfortable :-air and regard your features in! sac eonfusinz. illusion of mirrors. ‘f. your wish is to be dirty, you san unfurl rugs and lie down to est their resiliency.

This government was founded on a principle of power, divided, dele- gated and limited into three branches: the executive, judicial and legislative. Today, decrees have supplanted legislation; the president may control the banks and stock exchange, change the value of money, spend blank checks for appropriations, confiscate fac- tories, industry and men. If he wishes he may spend. fantastic amounts to coerce states and vot- rers;~to«bestow political advantage and to administer.taxes without recourse to any court.

Unques- tionably, the issues of the ‘cam- paign, which we will discuss in sub- sequent articles, demand definition. We do not find the issues to lie in the lip service of either candi- date, but in the past records and attitudes of both men as regards the following pressing problems: Foreign policy, preparedness and the preservation of democracy in the face of encroaching totalitari- anism; industrial concentration, monetary policy, labor, agriculture and social reform. All these, in our confident opin- ion, are closely related to the changing economic fabric of the country. In 1933, large-scale in- dustry, after inevitable growth and a hey-day of buccaneering meth- ods, could no longer maintain itself under a competitive system. A top- heavy economic structure, with two-thirds of the country’s wealth owned by two percent of its popu- lation, capsized in the storm of de- pression. The sphere of Government had to ‘be extended to meet these his- torical changes and to institute re- forms of the economic system. Un- precedented unemployment and labor distress demanded social leg- islation. The New Deal was the result of President Roosevelt’s rec- ognition ‘of the trend and needs of a changing industrial set-up. We list some achievements of the New Deal: ' Corporate profits rose from an annual loss, in 1932, of 5,500,000,- 000 dollars to an annual profit, in 1937, of nearly 5,000,000,000 dol- lars—taxes deducted. Industrial production has doubl- ed. The national income has increas- ed 75%. Factory labor has increased over 50%, while factory payrolls have risen more than 100%. The cash income of farmers has been raised from 4,500,000,000 dol- lars in 1932 to 8,500,000,000 dol- lars in 1989. Among the reforms which this administration has succeeded in es- tablishing as permanent are: Federal Housing Social Security and: -unemploy- ment. Insurance siuseeicciela Soil conservation and reclama- tion projects Karm ¢redit and - Commodity ~ Loans ' Rural Free Electrification a Constructive. unemployment , re- $. lief, NYA ; The principle of collective bar-' gaining Tr Wage and Hour legislation We believe that any candidate aspiring to the presidency should, at this time, be prepared to offer a progtam dealing as competently with our immediate economic pfob- lems as has the New Deal. Spor- adic criticism of its methods is not enough. - Ingsucceeding columns we in- tend to point out why Mr. Willkie Continued on Page Five THE COLLEGE N EWS , Willkie’s penn rere Condemned by Northrop Continued from Page One has not solved the complications in- | herent in the taxation method. But, “Miss. Northrop declared, Mr. Will- kie has not shown that he has even recognized. the complications. His one concrete proposal was the es- tablishment, after he was elected, of a commission to study the prob- lem. In other Northrop, he is not yet ready to declare his stand. Furthermore, a‘ commission composed of some of the best tax experts in the country was set up in months ago. The Seattle speech dealt in part with the power issue which Willkie failed to hit clearly or directly, He failed to go into the problem of public utilities as an industry with heavy capital outlay which pro- duces services at decreasing costs and results in cutthroat competi- tion. The sum total of the Grand Rap- ids~speech was that the road to prosperity is production. The prob- lem of prosperity and. production involves the whole business cycle to which economists have never yet found a solution, and though Mr. . Willkie attacked the New Deal ap- proach to the problem, he failed to offer a substitute. The speech of September 25 was devoted to agriculture. Mr. Will- kie accepted some five principles of the New Deal, but conspicuously failed to mention the problem of crop control, the center of conflict as far as the New Deal is con- cerned. The question is dependent upon the existence or non-existence of foreign markets. Mr. Willkie did not touch this subject. During the summer, the Repub- licans have shown trends towards high protective. tariffs and away from the New Deal trade agree- ments program. .The choice be- tween these two methods is especi- ally important with regard to the reorganization of world’ economy after the war. The speech at Pittsburgh con- cerned labor. Mr. Willkie first de- clared himself in favor of collect- | ive bargaining.

Bry n as Republicans Attend Willkie R: Rally; : By Susie Ingalls, °41 Two bus loads of Willkie sup- | Porters and one or two new dealers left Bryn Mawr for Philadelphia ‘last Friday evening to hear the, | Republican candidate for president lof United States speak. Although ithe drivers were third-termites, they were Willkie men at heart ‘and helped paste signs all over the ibuses.. The party arrived at Shibe ‘Park stadium early and scattered {in small groups around the bleach- jers. Foureseniors greatly prefer- red the reserved seats surfounding |the speaker’s stand in the center of the stadium. With one black fox cape as the lure, the necessary tickets were obtained. They were passed through the wire fence by a cop and a little blue-suited poli- tician. “That’s all right,” said the cop, “just don’t tell or I’ll be black- balled.” For a short time the band played political tunes. Then began the preliminary rounds—Senator Pep- promptly negated by seven listed /points involving proposed changes. |He declared for the> decentraliza- tion of the administration of the National Labor Relations Act and its return to the states. The strength -of labor comes from its nation-wide vertical structure. A division according to states would interfere with its power of collect- ive bargaining. In dealing with the question of defense Miss Northrop stated that, whoever was elected president, de- fense would be paramount during the administration. If defense is to be speeded up, there must be a taking over of power by the gov- ernment. Consequently some of the slowing down processes which are also the democratic processes, must go. Willkie has recognized this problem.

Student Conference Discusses Democracy Commissions Treat Neu trality, Boost Individual Rights And Unions A confedence on the of ‘Students the of Democracy,” sponsored by the International Student Service, was held at International House in New York from September 9 to 11. Mrs. Roosevelt opened the conference, pointing out that it is our responsi subject and Future bility to learn about world condi-| tions, to seek to learn what makes struggle worthwhile, and then to stand firmly for what we believe. “Youth has vision and the faith to start great things Always keep a beacon ahead and when you reach it find a new one and keep on.” ‘ Archibald Macleish, speaking on the ‘second day; demonstrated the difficulty of upholding a “democ- racy,” when we are not united in our understanding of its meaning. ye have neither a: common goal or a frontier country into which we can expand. We have instead an industrial society in which we must find new outlets for our en- ergies. The mornings of the second and third day were spent in commission sessions. The first commission was mainly coricerned with the problem of America’s place in a world at war. The general feeling was that this war is due to a combination of factors, and that its nature is im- perialistic as well as ideological. It was held by some that the current British struggle was the real issue and that aid to England is not in- consistent with democracy, that in. fact we had already cast in our lot with that nation. Others believed that our defense lay in encourag- ing democracy in this hemisphere by friendlier relations with South America, A discussion of the nature of de- mocracy produced this conclusion: “We have discovered that we do not know what it is, we are not - sure that we have it, or if anyone else ever had it, and the only con- crete suggestions wé have to offer are the somewhat professionally tinctured ones of more education, the humanitarian ideal of a higher standard of living, and the awak- ening of interest in the affairs and the future of this nation.” The third commission suggested Frantic Freshmen Trifle With Tradition In Their Efforts to Delude Sophomores THE COLLEGE NEWS By Alice Crowder, ’42 October 1, the first day of classes was climaxed with a Parade Night showing interesting deviations An uncertainty as to whether it was from the norm. overtone of sophomore victory and freshman defeat, or freshman victory and sophomore frustration enhanced |the traditional torch light parade land snake dance about the bon- With facile skill the fresh- men_broke through the-sophomore ring and almost broke through with an unparodied song.

When they found the right song the wily freshmen changed the tune, unheard of in the annals of Parade Night but reputedly legal.

How do I know you aren’t?” he fire. that the immediate struggle for the maintenance and extension of our individual rights ought to include ‘the opposition to the persecution of trade unions by the government through the use of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and support of the organization of unions in all fields. The rights of students and faculty to express themselves on all issues and ‘to organize into groups of their own choosing should be de- fended, as well as the rights of all political, religious and racial mi- norities. Finally, the commission would oppose all tendencies towards limiting democratic rights in the so-called preparation for the defense of democracy, as in the case of the current conscription plan. Louise Morley, ’40, was in charge of all arrangements. There were: approximately 200 delegates, representing 90 colleges, 18 states, and 18 foreign countries. Bryn Mawr’s delegates were B. Sachs, ’41, and M. Faesch, ’41, represent- ing the Industrial Group and the International Relations Club. HOW TO Sy. Junior year.

As the song evolved the sophomores added more words to their screams and yells of “Scram freshmen, scram freshmen,” at first sung in all keys and to all tunes. After the fray, Jinx Reggio, ’43, gave up some of the inner dope concerning it. _“‘They--even—used the real tune as a decoy,” she said. “Ten people told us it was On Wis- consin and we wouldn’t believe it.” For a while speculation ran high that the song was God Bless Amer- ica due to the untiring efforts of in Rhoads. A sophomore, posing as a late-arriving freshman, was giv- en to the wily girl to be shown around, and was taught a whole false set of words to the wrong tune. “That freshman did us dirt,” roared Jinx.

Speaking with comfortable Mor- ley informality, Dr. Morley stress- ed-the—need--for—dramatization—of the step of becoming a voter. The community-parades of new voters that are now held on a small scale, should, he feels, be extended throughout the country. Dr. Morley observed that his generation had been lax in this dramatization. The result was that potential new voterg, were over- casual about voting, or even regis- tering. Going behind the title of his talk, | Dr. Morley proceeded to develop the point that merely voting is not enough. The privilege of the vote carries with it the duty to go fur- ther than the vote, into active poli- tical work. Essential for democ- racy is true community participa- tion in local self-government. Discussion from the floor follow- ed Dr. Morley’s talk. The problems of local corruption in politics that were brought forth emphasized Dr. Morley’s point: there is need for citizen cooperation and pressure in the administration of the small, and basic government. units.

Since then, she has jumped when spoken to and mut- tered at intervals, “No comment to make . . no comment to make.” “They asked me what color eyes and: hair I had and then half of the time called me Jean,” she com- plained. However there were com- pensations. She has received a posteard from a clipping agency offering to send her, as an impor- tant person in the news, all the ar- ticles about herself for the nominal sum of twenty-five cents. “And the Atdmore Willkie Club has me on thelr bulletin board,” Jécelyn proudly concluded as she left pro- saically for the movies.

Even the travellers seem to manage a combination of busi- ness with pleasure. The general trend this summer was to go west. Miss Marti made a crocs country cruise with Debbie Calkins and Caroline Garnett. Also present was Kitty Hemphill, who was collecting snakes for Cor- nell as she went. Slung from the roof of the-car were two. baskets, one filled with moist frogs and the other with lizards. Snakes, dead and alive, contributed to the gen- eral gaity of the trip. Miss Lake and Miss Wycoff drove 75,000, miles covering Yel- lowstone Park, Salt Lake City and the Grand Canyon. -Miss Taylor, who. has just returned from her sabbatical ‘leave, has also been west, Since April. 1 she has been working ‘at Berkley, California, on a new book. ' ; Mr. Weiss bought a house in Vermont, worked on The Nature of Man, and read a paper on “God and the World” at .a New York conference on “The Unity of Sci- ence, Philosophy, and Religion in Relation to’ Democracy.” Mr. Sprague worked on ‘his current book, went to fifteen or sixteen baseball games, and also visited an equal number of Boston bookshops.

THE COLLEGE: NEWS ~ Roosevelt Club The Democrats for Roose- velt met for the first time on October 1. By a unanimous vote, Eileen Durning, ’41, was elected president and Mabel Faesch, *41, secretary. A motion to call the club the Roosevelt Club was made and passed. the, material was related to the problems of the group.. In discus- sing labor problems, for instance, ‘he personal experiences of the girls were fitted into the pattern of labor ‘history as a whole. Trade union tactics amd social psychology were taught ih this connection. In Science, biology and health problems were stressed, and scien- tific thinking emphasized. It was an especially . valuable field for pointing up the distinction between fact and opinion. ; In dramatics the girls worked on living newspapers, and were sur- prised that a convincing play could spring into being so natur- ally and so quickly. Some girls found they could write, and pub- lished their work in the school’s yearbook. The class in journalism published a newspaper which the students wrote and edited, and whose aim was to develop a direct journal- istic style, and to practice gather- ing and assembling labor news. Classes in public speaking held forums on varied aspects ~of de- mocracy. Daily current event talks were given, recreation was organized, field trips were taken. Mrs. Roose- velt gave a picnic for the school. plemented the program. Virginia Nichols assisted in sci- ence while Charlotte Hutchins helped ‘with recreation.
