History of Evolution and Origin of Fossils. Discussed by Dryden Series to be Continued by Gardiner Lecture Next Week Dalton, Monday, 28.—Mr. Dry- den continued the series of history of science_lectures—with—a—diseus- sion of evolution and the organic side of geology. Mr. Dryden traced the history of fossils, correlating Miss Wyckoff’s: points last Monday on the history of mining and min- erals, field geology;~and sediment- ary beds. On Thursday, November 7, Miss Gardiner will continue the discussion of evolution in,.the field of genetics. Fossils are organic and are traces of animals or plants which once lived. Theories of the origin of fossils remained childish and il- logical in ancient times and during the Middle Ages. Some Greeks and Romans believed that fossils were formed by a plastic force, others that the animal spawn were minute enough to wriggle into the rock where they grew. The written ac- counts of the fifteenth and sixteen- th centuries attach mystical mean- ings to stones. In them we find stones derived from stars or which were imitations of animals, or pre- liminary attempts at creation. In 1518 Magnus swore he knew of a number of fossil birds, each sitting on a fossil egg in a fossil nest of a fossil branch. Among those who _ interested themselves in serious studies in the nineteenth century was Cuvier who influenced’ many through his teach- ing at the University of Paris and through his extensive writings. Through his collection’ of modern skeletons, Cuvier acquired a vast and complete knowledge of verte- brate anatomy. He discovered that at different levels, different beds of strata have fossils peculiar to each, and explained that a series of world catastrophes had made the fauna of each bed extinct and on Continued on Page Four Roosevelt Sways Bryn Mawr Republicans; Democrats Sing Praises From Front Row By Agnes Martin, ’43 y) The rafters in Convention Hall rang again last Wednesday night this time with Democratic cheers, for “the Chief” was speaking to a crowd of 16,000. If President Roosevelt was able to see through the accumulated-haze of blue cigar smoke and floating shreds of news- paper, he may have noticed in the crowd some fifty, fresh, eager faces which belonged, for the most part, to the New Deal Bryn Mawrters. Bongo the Bryn Mawr con- tingent wore: white satin bands across their chests labelled “Roose- velt Courier”; canvassed the wait- ing crowds for Campaign funds, and sat in the extreme end of the «chal holding colored cards spelling “ei D. R.” These loyal supporters, however, had arrived at Conven- tion Hall at about four o’clock and bynine-fifteen- had succeeded in| worming their way by guile, smiles or silver into the best seats. There were those who calmly declared that they had lost their press cards; those who knew a Mr. Kelly, and. those who blatantly collapsed in the reserved section. One little group made friends with an F. B. I. man who winked them into seats in back of the press box. When a girl with Miss Ely was seen illegally leaping on and off eae gsnap rane 'Ma’s trying to get her a seat.” Straight-arm tactics proved use- less in trying to hold seats for trusting friends outside, for the mob was “plenty tough” as it pour- ed in. One delegate was stopped by a tacky little Secret Service man in a great long coat who asked “Whatcha got in the bag, Goilie?” The goilie and supporters had great difficulty in explaining away the menace of a knitting-bag. The hall was completely filled by seven o’clock although the Presi- dent was. not scheduled to speak until nine-fifteen. The interim was taken care of by an orchestra, a chorus of 75 singers, cigars, whiskey and chewing gum. By nine o’clock the crowd was stand- ing onthe backs: of their chairs and chanting “We Want Roosevelt” in a dull-roar. (Not as euphoni- ous as _ reffective.} | Suddenly Mr. Roose- velt appeared on the stage and for ten minutes the crowd cheered in- cessantly with such volume that it was considered adequate for broad- cast. , After the President — had finished speaking, even some of the wolves in sheep’s clothing reluc-) tantly admitted that his speech was stupendous in humor, if not in essence, although some others sat through the speech mumbling “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it.”. said, “Leave. her alone men, her — teeny et ow.

Latin Play Promises’ To be Wickedly Gay By Olivia Kahn, ’41 “Wine, women, and woe is the theme of the Latin play this year,” declared Dorcas Donklee, ’42, who has the lead and ought to know. The play is Plautus’ Mostellaria, an involved tale about a drunken young man, his rascaity slave, and his embittered father. Miss Lake, an old hand in the production of Latin plays, is directing the fes- tivities which will grace Goodhart next Saturday evening at 8 oclock: As usual the play will be given with a minimum of costumes and scenery, just enough to set the tone. Dorcas suggests that one of the most entertaining scenes will be where a game of strip poker is staged; it should present the man- agement with a tricky problem be- causé the participants in the game start out wearing only a bit of gunnysack. , Under the grease, paint and burlap “you may recognize. the fol- lowing: * Dorcas Dunklee* ’42 (Tranio), Vivi French,~’42 (Theo- propides), Mary E.

' Theré will be no assembly after this until the middle term, Shanley Advocates Militant Neutrality A policy of “militant neutrality” —maximum defense of the Western Hemisphere and aid to Great Bri- tain—is the safest course open to the United States in a world of war, Representative James A. Shanley, of .Connecticut, told a Haverford College audience in Roberts Hall this morning. “If America makes herself com- pletely invulnerable, if she insures from outside aggression the con- tinuance of democracy on at least one continent of the world,” the speaker said, “then—we—will have fulfilled our destiny in history.” Representative Shanley, who is a Democratic member of the House Military Affairs Committee, stressed the immediate need for a large standing army, preferably divided into four field corps for seryice anywhere in the Western Hemisphere. He also advocated turning Alaska into a “Gibraltar of the North” and arranging with Great Britain for the defense of Iceland and the Falkland Islands. “One week before election, the American people are united as they have never been since the last World War,” Mr. Shanley pointed out. ‘‘Whoever wins the Presiden- tial election, there is no doubt that the American people will give him their wholehearted support.” President Morley has extended an_ invitation to all Bryn Mawr faculty members and students to attend this lecture as well as all others in the series. Wendell Willkie Wins Students; Faculty Vote for F. D. Roosevelt Democrats Tally Majority Of Maids, Grads; Willkie Nets High Total By Ann Ellicott, °42 Election opinion, whieh has been solicited, demanded and extracted from the campus by both the NEWS students during ‘the past two weeks, has finally been recorded. Willkie has won 314 undergradu- ates from the 460 who voted. The velt, 49 to 183 the graduates and the maids are ‘also in the Demo- 19, respectively. A total of 779 votes were cast, and 130 people were unwilling to. vote, due to in- decision or to their being aliens. For the record, of the“halls only Merion, Radnor and the German House are for Roosevelt, Merion by three and the other two by single votes.._There is a Willkie majority in all four classes. For 1941 the votes are 68 to 38; for the juniors, 62 to 39; for 1948, 99 to 34, and for the freshmen, 85 to 35. There were 14 votes for Norman Thomas, three for the dynami¢ Earl Browder, and a brave but solitary ballot for Mr. John Zoehnd, the hitherto obscure candidate of the Greenback party. Willkie voters were eager to in- dicate their reasons and cast 480 votes in this section of the poll, as against 198 from the Democrats. Business conditions, national de- fense, the third term, and foreign policy, in that order, had the great- est influence among them; while Roosevelt partisans consider for- eign policy and labor the two most important factors. Family tradi- tion was taken into consideration by only 55 persons, or so they said. Republicans are favorably im- pressed by Willkie’s speeches, 86 to 70. Twenty were not impressed at all. Roosev t voters were natur- ally unsympathetic to this question. Four people confessed that they had neglected to register.

Week- ends and where to stay now raise the question to undergraduates of all classes. Bryn Mawr’s reputation does not receive a gold but the friends of the boy she is visiting. This type of thing happens generally through the girl’s neglect to consider how her plans might look in the cold light of a future Bryn Mawr mother’ S eye. This is the ‘realm in which the Self-Government board should act, for the college authorities have left moral behavior to our care and we have chosen the board to execute’ our rules. As the present ruling stands, we have to ask permission to stay unchaperoned at any hotel or boarding house other than. the Bryn Mawr Clubs or the Barbizon. The Self-Government board, in view of the week-end problem, considered extending the inter- pretation of the present rule so as to cover staying anywhere unchaperoned. By “unchaperoned” would be meant hostesses one never sees the whole week-end, friends of friends of friends, and other boys. As the line between chaperoned and unchaperoned would be difficult to draw, the board ‘felt it probably would be necessary to obtain permission for staying anywhere but with one’s family. Through the process of asking for permission, under- graduates would think twice of their plans. This broader interpretation of the rule was suggested at a Pembroke West hall meeting. The general reaction was that the suggestion would mean so wide a diversion from the present rule that it warranted further discussion before becoming effective. We agree that general discussion should be undertaken and suggest that the Self-Goverriment board arrange a mass meeting for this purpose. Undergraduates would become aware of the problem through the discussion, and that in itself would be a step toward the solution of the problem. Ifthe majority opinion was in: favor of the new interpretation, we believe legislative action would have to be taken for the rule to be inclusive. Fé ‘ ...A Hundred Mision From Now” A system is only as good as its enforcement. The Eighteenth Amendment, while it had a sufficiently lofty aim, failed in achiev- ing it because violation of the spirit of the law was considered fashionable in the best of families. The taking of orals, too, has a worthy aim which fails in attainment largely because of: the atti-, tude taken-against-the practice: Students yie with one another for the greater number of failure cards or simply do not. bother to - “Phe faiilt doe’ not “lie etitirely with the*stu Crammed full of the technique of taking an oral and as much language as will perhaps enable them to pass, they cannot help/ considering it an exercise’in method rather than the testing of a useful knowledge. This is especially true of German. The penalization of a student for entering upon a certain language by forcing Iher.to forget: it for three years also helps to foster, the public Mecieaia of the oral. As every action brings its owii reaction, pressure from the dean’s office will inevitably come to save the classes of ’42, ’43, The percentage of those who pass will be raised by this pressure. But the actual reasons for all required non-credit courses and exams will—unless something revo- Jutionary happens—remain unknown and unsung. The actual and -lagainst Willkie’s nomination ROOSEVELT The fanfare of the present cam- paign has not aided any clear defi- nition of the real choice involved inthis election. Word§ like democ- racy, employment, and social re- form are common to both the Dem- ocratic and the Republican plat- forms. As the Presidential year ap- proached it was evident that there was no real cleavage in American opinion regarding the aims of the government. The Republican party was in the market for a candidate who could meet the New Deal. American acceptance of the New Deal’s objectives was recognized and ably dealt with by the Republi- can pressure men that spotted Mr. Willkie as “‘possible Presidential timber.” As head of Common- wealth and Southern, Mr. Willkie in popular magazines and on radio forums as well as in the lobbies of ment regulation. He was known as the voice of business in its struggle with government, and what solu- tions he proposed for resolving that struggle were not compromising. The editors of Fortune, leading off the April issue w:th an editorial significantly called “Government and Business,” weighed the magits of Mr. Willkie as a candidate. They listed and refuted the points in June. Among these objections they noted that Willkie as a spokesman of big business, with Wall Street: connections, and President of a giant utility holding company would have difficulty in winning popular support. But they had great faith in Mr. Willkie’s inde- pendence and appeal. And they added enthusiastically that in these days of radio and newsreels_a_na- tional hero could be built up in two weeks. Americans, they said, dis- trust a political campaign “and love an independent fighter,.so ‘if they come to-know Mr. Willkie his vote-getting power might be enor- mous.” On the strength of his in- dividualism and personal charm, the old line Republicans at the con- MOVIES In Town Now Playing: ALDINE: The Great Dictator, Charles Chaplin and Paulette God- dard.

Mr. Willkie’s first policy was to be general. His later policy was to criticise means employed by the In the process of this “me, too, but? platform he was forced into contradiction and eva- sion. . The inconsistencies of his speeches have been listed many times. There is one patent reason for these inconsistencies. In his campaign, Mr. Willkie must fill a double bill: he must demonstrate his liberalism, his love for. labor, his reform crusade; at the same time he is obliged to put business back in the saddle. Herein lies the real choice facing American voters. Mr. Willkie is the candidate of business. What- ever his veneer of liberalism, Mr. Willkie voices his paradoxical con- viction that. business can govern itself—and the country as well. The American public does not feel that the control of government can safely be returned to, business. This, beeause, (a) as repeatedly stated, business has reached the point where governmental regula- tion is inevitable, and (b) the pub- lic feels the loss of social reforms should business ride again. Mr. Willkie’s own fight against the TVA was a fight against the ad- ministration’s effort to bring low priced electric power into Ameri- can homes. The TVA _ produced electricity at three cents per kilo- wat hour while Commonwealth and Southern operating companies’ price ranged from nine to 21 cents per kilowatt hour. Was govern- ment here more efficient than priv- ate utilities, or are we to assume that the attainments of private in- dustry need never reach the con- sumer in the form of low prices? Whatever Mr. Willkie as a front | man may say, he cannot break with his allegiance to anti-New Deal business any more than. he can scrap his contract with the Repub- lican party. If the American public swallows the Willkie myth, we. are- going, -in-. to advertising.

He has preached up and down this country his doctrine of increased productivity and its importance in maintaining and furthering our democracy. Again and again he has declared that he is against the New Deal party be- cause it has suffocated the Demo- cratic party and the things for which it stands; it started as a party of reform but has swamped the effectiveness of its reforms by overlapping bureaus and a super- abundance of hidden taxes, Mr. Roosevelt says “what if de- cisions were left to Congressmen Martin, Barton and Fish?” but he does not consider what would hap- pen if decisions were left to Bosses ‘| Hague, Flynn and Kelly on whom he depends for the perpetuation of his. tenancy. Nor when he says that in August and September em- ployment increased by 900,000 men does he add that at the same time WPA rolls increased by 150,000. Those who criticize Mr. Willkie for being inconsistent should _re- member that it is their candidate who said in 1932 “I ask you to assign to me the task of reducing the annual operating expenses of your national government.” And it is their candidate for the Third Term who said “You and I know that any family can for a year spend a little more than it earns, but that a continuation of that habit means the poorhouse.”’ Sn Famous People ‘A Treasury of the World’s Great Letters.

In September the college had an opportunity to buy for 1250 dollars ‘a lightweight ambulance for citi- zens’—relief in England._Since it was impossible to include it in the already over-burdened Activities Drive budget, a benefit was planned for Wednesday evening, October 30, to raise.the money. Miss Hutchins announced that since 800 dollars had already been raised from the sale of tickets out- side the college, the ambulance could not be given in the name of Bryn Mawr College unless the stu- dents would pledge to buy most of the remaining tickets. Four-fifths of the undergradu- ates present agreed to support the benefit and it was decided that any small deficit would be made up from the Activities Drive funds.

Transfers Deplore Lack of Man Power: ‘Welcome Increased Liberty College Offers By Patsy McKnew,. ’43 : Many of Bryn -Mawr’s deadlier rivals are represented in the col- leges from which our eight new transfer students hail. -Shirley: Cruze went to Vassar for two years, Marjorie Flood to Wellesley, Louise Warner Lewis to’ Smith, Barbara Haas to Wheaton, and Anita McCarter to Wilson, The West is represented by Dorcas Dunklee from the University of Colorado, Alice Judson from the University of Chicago, and Ena Borden Smith from Our. Lady of the Lake College in San. Antonio. Most of the girls seem to have transferred either because they wanted a change of environment for their last two years, or be- cause their families live near Phila- delphia and they want to be with them. Their opinions of Bryn Mawr vary from “It’s the nearest place to heaven!” to “I migs the .men not being around.” Size: and the _ co-educational system seem to be the grounds for the greatest differentes between their former colleges and Bryn Mawr. Student Government is less strict in the larger universities, where there are fewer rules but more exclusive groups and cliques. Except for the Universities, Bryn Mawr leads in leniency of rules. Vassar limits overnight permis- sion; Smith is “too full of rules,” says Louise Lewis; Wellesley de- mands parental permission for ev- ery overnight spent away from col- lege. Self-Government is a univer- sal organization, and most colleges have self-organized political clubs and public forums. The larger colleges seem to have more interest in campus news- papers, because news really is news on a big campus. This rule does not hold however for the Phoenix, of Our Lady of the Lake College, which accepts contributions from all students. ~ Bryn Mawr varies considerably from the other colleges on the sub- ject of required courses.. Most of them require one language but none have a system comparable to our native oral inquisition, with the exception of Smith, which de- mands one exam in any language. Only Our Lady of the Lake requires philosophy. Some form of Eng- lish must be studied at all other colleges, either in composition or literature, rarely both. At Wilson College and the University of Chi- cago two sciences are required, at to be universally required, but the method of presentation differs. At Vassar, for instance, the course is ‘so frank that an average of three girls a year faint and: have to be carried out. An interesting method for, re- quired courses is used atthe. Uni- versity of Chicago. Four survey courses are required, one in a phys- ical science, one in a_ biological science, one in a social science, and one in the humanities. Compre- hensives are given in each at the end of the year. They are all taken during the freshman and _ soph- omore years, and give the students a wide survey of knowledge to aid them in choosing majors. VOGUE CRAZE SWEEPS ROCK By Marguerite Bogatko, ’41 Freshmen who have felt that the canons laid down by Vogue and College Bazaar are violated by the Bryn Mawr campus, take notice! Last Saturday night was the occa- sion ‘of a spontaneous style and fashion show in Rockefeller Hall. It was a thing born out of the night and inspired by a senior with a new dress and time on her hands. The whole thing was organized by a ‘group of seniors who just happéned not to be going out, They bent all doubters and dissenters to their will and the resulting produc- tion was a glamorous line of “Mimis,” “Madeleines,” and “Di- anes” who sailed down the stairs and-through the smoking room to appropriate music. The large audi- ence of non-participants was lured by promises of feod and by sheer disbelief. Patty Spillers, ‘41 (Tamara), wore a pair of red Dr. Denton’s and swung a matching lantern. Amid loud applause she circled the room to the dulcet strains of “Temptation.” Hooded house coats, dinner dresses, evening gowns, ex- traerdinary—hats, and spectacular. day dresses all received their share of attention. The models were frankly well pleased with them- selves and won the hearts of all spectators with their friendly atti- Sud? 572 ata ; Phone’ Bryn, Mawr 809 Bryn Mawr Marinello Salon _ National Bank Building Bryn Mawr, Penna. ; _ PERMANENT WAVING Beauty Craft in All Its Branches : ~~ Students’ Rates” Again the Unusual!

Sir James Lyell popularized ge- ology and proved to pedple that Cuvier’s theory on catastrophism was wrong. After teaching for a few years, he devoted himself en- tirely to an individual study of ge- ology and an examination of others’ work in the field. In 1880 he pub- lished his Principles of Geology in which he explained that, although the great catastrophes like the ice age had actually existed, the puny forces which are now in action cause the gradual changes of the earth’s surface. Lyell’s influence on Darwin can be illustrated by Darwin’s depend- ence on The Principles, of Geology. During his trip in 1831 Darwin studied Cuvier religiously and rwhen he returned published his book on the things he had seen and their applicability to Cuvier’s the- ory. Darwin followed the discov- ery of different fossils in different layers. He proved that the per- centage of extinction of animals grew less as the strata) approached our time. Hence there must be an evolution from one type of animal to the next. The Darwinian theory gave new life to. geologic theories, _Geolog- fossil.

William Ditter, up for! re-election for his fifth term. “T am. absolutely convinced,” he told | the News in “an interview, “that if all the voters in Montgomery County knew what Ditter has done in Congress during his four terms, I would be elected by an over-. ’ whelming majority.” Mr. Ditter’s legislative record in Congress has been that of a block man. He voted against the Wages and Hours Bill, which, more than any other bill, prevented the shift Current etal Miss Reid The conference of Laval and Pe- tain with Hitler and Ribbentrop in Paris may have important and far- reaching results for the world. The Vichy government assured. the United States that no territorial ‘bases will be ceded to Germany during the conference. This state- ment was in answer to Mr. Roose- velt’s message to Vichy that the United States would be compelled to take action in Martinique and other ipossessions in this hemi- sphere, if there was too much col- taboration between the French. and Hitler. Asa result of the growing Pan'- American cooperation the United States had the backing of the Pan-American group in ex- pressing this threat. Another important conference took place between Hitler and Mus- solini in Florence. The fact that Hitler should“journey to Italy is signif@ant and can probably be attributed to the Greek-Italian con- flict.Hitler_ did not foresee new expansion in the East, since ‘he has already acquired Rumania and other desired areas. Mussolini, on the other hand, has apparently realized that it is not safe to trust the sponsorship of his territorial desires to another country, and has decided to do his own negotiating. The Italians plan a drive through Greece in order to gain a base for attack on Suez and for action against Turkey below the Dar- danelles, which may include the occupation of Crete. Germany, however, has over a million troops in the Balkans and must be plan- ning more than a passive part. In the East, Japan is pressing her demands for oil from the Dutch | East Indics, She has already withdrawn her unsuccessful nego- tiator from this territory and this| action may forecast the use of more | forceful: methods. Admiral Sosa, under the auspices of the Japanese} government, stated that British- American. unity was seriously en- dangering Japanese plans for greater east Asia. He added that if Japan is not able to succeed in establishing an area of influence in the Dutch East Indies she will be forced to take some action, Our state department is now following out a vigorous line of policy in this struggle for mastery of the Pacific, = RICHARD STOCKTON’S BOOKS _ GIFTS STATIONERY Allen Tells Republicans te Vote for Willkie, Follow Forefathers, Save Democracy By Agnes Mason, 742 The Willkie Rally Monday night |put{ any good circus in the dog- | house.

Montgomery County has long been Republican. Landon carried the county in 1936, although by a slim margin. Mr. Eppstein feels that Democrats, however, are en- thusiastic this year, and opened our interview by saying that he had their part. Mr. Eppstein has been speaking ateforums and _ political clubs during his campaign. In answer to our question about the reactions of the audiences, Mr. Eppstein said that they — both Democrats and Republicans—were “responsive and intelligent.” Their applause, he said, follows not “af- ter a burst of oratory, but after a telling and a logical point has been made.” “T am conducting this campaign without the benefit of the fourth estate.” The press has refused to give Mr. Eppstein a single notice, and even extracts of his speeches, which he submits to county news- papers are refused.
