Miles Gloriosus: (Priscella Curtis, 740) et servus gloriousissimus (Terry Ferrer, ’40) cum laude translatinione (Alice John, ’89) fecerunt Plauti mere effort a real play—with the essential of Miss Agnes K. Lake, instructor in Latin. The production is a satire of the mod- erns, as they are and, apparently, as they always have been. The actual plot of What a Warrior! is meritorious in* being of very little importance. .The audience never has to worry about the plot because in the first place, it is fairly obvious, and in the second, no ‘one gives it a thought anyway, especially the participants, who are much too busy enjoying the spontarieous lines. ‘As the play opens, the warrior struts the stage, sighs, “What a bore to. be so handsome,” and fancies that weak women strew his path. The not so weak sister of the moment is one Philicomasium (Marion: Kirk, °40), who was stolen away by the soldier when true love was away on business (“he-got a‘job on P. W. A., and was sent off to Naupactus”). True love, however, with -the help of ex-slave Palaestrio (Terry Ferrer, ’40), has managed to’ put his nose to the trail, and is now living next door ‘to the soldier. Periplectomenus (El- len Matteson, 40), the owner of the house, fosters the fun for old times’ sake, thinking himself a gay old sin- ner and a strategist of moment. Philicomasium is finally reunited with Pleusicles the lover“*(Eleanor Emery, ’40). Miles Gloriosus, who is merely the grandson of Venus, must finally drape himself aboyt her statue and sigh, ‘Grandmother, Grand- mother, how you let me down.” Palestro, with masterly impudence, darts orders and sarcasms at every- one in the play—as well as at the audience, to whom he says at the start, “If anyone of you don’t want to listen, ‘beat it now and let someone else have your seat.” He quiets natural suspicion by tell- ing the other slaves that Philicoma- sium is her own twin sister; and as such, of course, she has a _ perfect ‘Continued on Page Two organizing . machinations i WITTY MODERN SLANG!

Board Common Room, October 28.— “Threat of action by the Labor Re- lations Board is the mést potent fac- tor in the settlement of -labor dis- putes,” said Mr. John Edelman at the joint supper of the Industrial Group and the A. S. U. Mr. Edelman, di- rector of the Philadelphia division of the C. I. O., having arrived late, con- fined himself to answering the ques- tions of the group. * The NLRB _ is so understaffed that action is a slow process, he continued. Furthermore, employers are not as scared as previously, and are prepared to undertake long litigation for their defense. The smaller employer, hav- ing less reserve, will usually settle be- fore going through a hearing. But the Board, to function efficiently, needs more money and more trained person- nel. When asked about the chance of a reconciliation between the warring A. F. of L. and C. I. '0., he replied that he was not very hopeful. The strug- gle is no longex one of principle, and has become one for power. It is an attempt to change the personality in the old-line unions. Old-line le ership must go, according to the more liberal wing. This‘is too drastic a change for the old-line organization to be settled peacefully. Regarding a question on the pending Wages and Hours Bill, Mr. Edelman said that it Continued on Puge Three Newsreels Show Eager - Eyed : Students in Work and Play No terse movietone voice ‘heralded the coming of Bryn Mawr to the screen, no Hearst propagandist ‘sullied our hame by so much as an opening of the mouth to speak. Except for some “appropriate” college music that was evidently supposed to make old grads weep reminiscently, the movies were almost anonymous. The wary- eyed could have read some flickery white letters at the bottom, but the wary-eyed knew, anyway. In a vain attempt to be objective, we watched the senior table in Pem- broke at their midday meal, and de- cided that perhaps it was better to recognize them one by one with glad little. cries of excitement. What the mother of a prospective college daugh- ter would have thought, we cannot say. It was probably only the im- perfections of the camera that made ‘ movements like the heaping of food ‘on plates seem so abrupt. » At any rate, we sighed gratefully when the hypothetical mother’s mind was turned to domestic scenes: to the ‘hanging of curtains, the laying out of many dresses on a bed, or the shuf- fling of books, preparatory to salting them away for the winter. If mother did not approve of this,| ing she ee like to Sys academicians seemingly intent on their books. The atmosphere of the clois- ters, however, was more social. Here we see two students approaching two other students; there, a ring of bright young things talking about Aristotle at the fountain’s edge, or lounging in the lush grass. Sure and it makes one think of old Oxford or old .Cam- bridge. But by far the most stu- dious group, at least to the unclothed eye, was dressed in neat white lab coats, pouring chemicals hither and thither, and watching the most com- plicated maze of scientific apparatus with a knowing eye. This, we thought, would make the mother sigh for sci- ence. It is a pity that there is no such attractive activity in other realms, though we suppose that life in the Library showed graphically enough how the unscientific masses occupy themselves. music, demonstrated our method of keeping corporem sanum in. mente sana.

Miss Park Breaks Ground for New Residence Hall Floor Plans, Elevation Outlines And Photographs of Model Discussed at Tea REGARD SERVICE WING AS GREAT INNOVATION November 1.—A gold spade, an ob- long patch of earth and a series of effi- cient diggings by 11 people, started the new doxmitory on its way to com- pletion while a minor throng of un- dergraduates, faculty, and alumnae looked on. Introduced by. Julia Grant, 38, Miss Park was the first to remove a shovelful of earth which she pre- ceded with the toast, “I dig my good wishes to a beautiful and comfortable hall . . . and to the final effluent fac- ulty.” Charles J. Rhoads, President of the Board of Directors of the College, tossed his contribution to the ground with the words ‘‘sobe—it!” He —was followed in quick and silent succes- sion by Francis J. Stokes, Chairman of the Buildings and Grounds Com- mittee, and Sydney Martin, archi- tect for the scienee building as_ well as the new dormitory. Thereupon, Miss Ward and Miss Howe, cohorts in planning the dormi-} tory, simultaneously dug up a double- sized clod of earth. Each of the four Mary Sands, ’88; Jean Morrill, 39; Louise Sharp, ’40, and Charlotte Hutchins, "a1, Then, self-introduced, Julia Grant participated as President of the Undergraduate Association. Last but one of the most important on the list was Mr, A. O.

Once more studies centered about economics, the heart of the situation into which the industrial ‘workers are born, . Spe- cial projects in English literature, creative writing and discussions on Marxism and problems of household employees enriched the curriculum. Under the direction of a board com- posed of Bryn Mawr and labor groups and several alumnae of the Summer School, the session got uiider way with 72 students chosen from all parts of the country and from union as well as non-union sympathizers. was included one Czechoslovakian, one Swedish and two English women, 7 -|second year students who returned as graduates on working scholarships. Denbigh and Merion were used, and for the first time experiments in dis- section were conducted in Dalton. The faculty, Miss Park -stated, represented a group with command of their subject -matter and ability to teach industrial workers. Today most of the students are high school gradu- ates or have some high school train- nig. The difficulty in teaching these people, however, arises because they have a practical knowledge rather than familiarity with books and ab- stract discussion. Nevertheless, Miss Park feels that the contribution that these students make is more professional than the contribution of the “winter school,” because. they feel a more immediate connection between their studies and the present economic situation. They try to derive all they can from their courses and go away with a sense-of responsibility, and a feeling that they should use their knowledge and try to pass it on to others. CURRICULUM MEMBERS ANNOUNCED FOR YEAR (Especially contributed by Gertrude Leighton, ’38.) a The Undergraduate Curriculum Committee publishes below the list of its members for this year. It is hoped that. stude will take the opportu- nity to discuss with the hall members of the committee, any problems which they think should be brought to the attention of the committee as a whole. The meetings of the committee and the subjects to be discussed, will be announced: well before hand in order to give those interested time to ex- press their opinions. Executive Committee: G.

' The Renaissance version of Blind Cupid presents a much simpler exam- ple of pseudo-morphis than the figure of Father Time, stated Professor Pa+ nofsky, in the fourth Flexner lecture, The idea of representing Cupid as a naked’ child was clearly formulated early in classical antiquity, and most of his specific attributes—the bow, the torch, and the arrows—appear in classical art or may be found in the work of such classical writers as Sen- eca and Propertius. But neither in Roman art nor Ro- man literature was Cupid blind. Ancient writers spoke of “blind love” “blind lust,’? but as an emotion, never as an image .The Byzantine artists and the early mediaeval scribes never represented Cupid as sightless; and he does not become blind until the thirteenth century. This may be explained, Professor Panofsky believes, by the fact that mediaeval literature had a double con- ception of love. One group of writers had formed “an image of idealized love,” glorified, spiritualized, meta- physical and based on the ancient ideals of Plato. Plato’s conception found no place in the Roman treat- - ment of. love, but had been widely ac- cepted in the East, where it was dis- covered and adopted by the Christians, who named it caritas, the spiritual love for God. Later, the idea of cari- tas was temporarily fused with that of sexual love, and came to be.re- garded ‘as the highest and most spir- itual devotion to a lady. This love was usually considered too pure and wonderful to be defined, but was sometimes symbolized as a prince- ly young man, in royal garments, winged, with a crown or a laurel wreath on his head. He was en- throned, or, more rarely, put in a tree, and, like the Roman Cupid, carried a bow or a torch. He was never’ blind, both. because the mediaeval idealist believed that love entered the body kind of love was supposed to be abso- lutely beautiful and perfect. The other conception of love was very different. It is found chiefly in the moralized mythologies of the time, and was derived, not from the Pla- tonic ideal, but from the old Roman Cupid, the little naked boy whom the Romans themselves had stigmatized as childish and irresponsible. The me- diaeval Christians, in spite of the pro- tests of the idealistic poets, not only took over this conception but empha- sized still further Cupid’s turpitude, irresponsibility, and» utter lack of judgment. The strictures became in- creasingly severe as time went on, un- Continued on Page Five MRS. GILBRETH TO RETURN Mrs. Frank B. Gilbreth is returning for further votational conferences this year the first week in December. She will stay at college two or three days and, after meeting each.of the classes as a body, she will interview students by appointment alone or in small groups. Mrs. Gilbreth is Pro- . fessor of Management at Purdue Uni- versity and has an office of her own ‘as a consultant on seientific manage- ment. mt The object of her conferences is to help the students decide what type of employment they want, if they are fitted for it and -how to-go about get” ting jobs or training for them. She plans to be at college again in the spring. Other vocational discussions have ‘been planned for the coming winter -.. and are to be given by outstanding” speakers about their particular fields.

The New Breakfast The State of Pennsylvania’s new twelve hour wage law has had a}: rather subtle but. nevertheless profound effect on the habits and dis- positions of Bryn Mawr undergraduates; breakfast, which we remem- ber from days of old as being a leisurely and peaceful meal, has been}: reduced to an abrupt and noisy experiment in the quick feeding of a large body of people. We arrive at the table to find all the maids busy in’ the kitchen. We wait impatiently up to ten minutes, when a series of harrassed waitresses accost us ‘one after the other. After a suitable interval allowing the maid to collect and recollect three assorted orders, she returns with part, at least, of our breakfast. When we get around to eating, our nerves are constantly shattered*by chairs slamming in and out, students arriving, and departing, demanding things passed, reaching up and down, and anxious maids bustling fran- tically around and around the table. he management has considered the problem industriously from | every possible angle, agreeing with the students thatthe hurried tone of the diningrooms is not pleasant nor soothing. So far, no satisfactory solution has appeared. The maids, as we understand it, are allowed to be on duty only from 7.45 a. m. to 7.45 p. m. and even a change of ten minutes in the dinner hour weuld not give them time to finish all work Because the law also requires an extra half day off duty every week, fewer maids are able to be present at the new late breakfast, and the few remaining are faced with the problem of serving a total of forty or more people in a little more than twenty minutes. There does not seem to be any way in which breakfast can be begun earlier, except for a limited number of students who now eat regularly every morning before the doors are generally opened. The best way to make the later meal more pleasant seems to be to extend the late breakfast to three quarters of an hour again, that is from 8 to 8.45—or at the very least to have the doors open until 8.30. We have been informed that the maids have enough time between 8 and 9 to make this possible, and not only should it make serving less of an ordeal for them, but this plan would also allow late risers an extra fifteen’minutes sleep every morning. with George Sanders.

The pine tribute to. the actors is that they were able to perform the characterizations as a whole. They did not merely state their lines as miscellaneous vaudeville jokes.

We are not so much concerned with a_review of the play Many Mansiéns, ‘vby Jules Eckert Goodman and Eckert Goodman, as with a comparison be- tween the dress rehearsal we saw and the finished performance as seen by the critics. An invitation performance and the dress rehearsal of a play with a theme “the commercial: appeal of which was yet to be measured was naturally a great strain on the authors and actors. It was the first time they had played it with the sets, the leading lady had ip se and the audience was mainly omposed of Bryn Mawr girls. But age spite of the lassitude with which the performance went off, the Good- mans’ theme stood forth at all mo-| ments, implying, though not suffi- ciently emphasizing, in the lines or the acting, great emotional connota- tions. Although the performance was the insignificant prelude to the opening night, it was ‘evident that there. are imperfections inherent in the struc- ture and lines of the play. Line has been sacrificed to quick chronological pictures of the struggles of Peter Brent (Alexander Kirkland) to make the church a working force instead of an isolated activity of rigid orthodoxy and: polities. The scenes are short and the entire play is implicitly con- ‘ected and actually disjointed. The characters do not sufficiently explain themselves... Richard * Lock- ridge said in The Sun, “Brent is driven by an inner necessity which the authors postulate, but do not explain.” This is not a fault in itself; Brent himself says he himself does not understand the “inner necessity,” The fault is that neither the Good- mans nor Kirkland have developed the character of Brent sufficiently to show how an “inner necessity” is con- sistent. - However, according to the New York reviews of the opening night, Alexander Kirkland did this difficult part excellently; Flora Camp- MRS.

Brooks Atkinson said in the Times, “Flora Campbell gives an attractive perform- ance that, shows a good deal of sen- sitivity to the development of char- acter.” John Mason Brown’s criticism is less a comment on Many’ Mansions than it. is a comment on John Mason Brown.

FOREIGN — POLICY Common Room, November 2.—At the International Club meeting Pro- fessor John Herndon, of Haverford, pointed out in his lecture, Who Makes Our Foreign Poliey, the wide powers of the President in foreign affairs. They are much greater than many of our citizens. realize, but Dr. Herndon considers them necessary in order to maintain a consistent policy in our relations with other countries. He has unlimited authority to. negotiate treat- ies, which, if. approved’ by the Sen- ate, become the basis for subsequent legislation. In this way Congress may pass acts not valid before the treaty was made because they were not pro- vided for by the constitution. A famous case illustrating this point is Missouri vs. Holland, which concerned certain migratory birds. In the decision the Supreme Court de- clared that Congress may not legis- late about certain things. Later the President. negotiated a treaty with Canada. Congress was then able to pass the. same acts formerly consid- ered unconstitutional, to enforce the treaty. In regard to the Neutrality Bill, the President must evoke the act. only when he finds a state of war existent. Japan has not formally declared war]. on China and he is under’ no obliga- tion to find a state of war between them. In closing his eyes to the situ- ation he is violating no treaty and can- not be forced to act except by public opinion. Patronize our advertisers.

CIO Official Outlines . Organizing of Unions Continued from Page One would undoubtedly bring about a’wide- spread wave of unionism throughout the country. The questions asked, although of a variant ‘and disjointed nature, man- aged to present a fairly complete, su- perficial’ picture of C. I. O. activities, since the answers covered many sides of the problem. Most of the unionizing starts with- in the factories themselvés. Some em- ployees then appear at regional head- quarters. asking for organized. aid. Smaller groups are often refused be- cause the time and labor of organiz- ing marginal industries is unduly great and they often have to be heav- ily subsidized when they are estab- lished. Also, whenever and wherever possible, the C. I. O. refrains from organizing within the sphere of the A. F. of L.’s activities. In the work of unionization, | amaz- ing and amusing industries have come 'to light, also‘ shocking conditions. In a factory making sample books, em- ployees made three to seven dollars for a. 54-hour week. Eleven dollars was the maximum. One of the biggest hazards to unionization is the fear of dismissal. If a’ worker must support a family, no matter how meager his earnings, he naturally will prefer. them to inadequate relief or starva- tion. “Compulsion, furthermore, is not a sound way to build a union,” ~| added Mr. Edelman. | -Two members of the Industrial Group were appointed to check up on the formation of the knit goods union and one will cover the Apex hosiery , affair.

If a voter’s borough sends five delegates to the City Council, he marks his first, second, third, fourth and fifth choices. If his vote is not needed to elect his candidate, it is transfered to his second choice, or to his third if necessary, thus making minority representation possible and. ensuring a council that represents the real sentiment of all the voters. The prices of stocks are still high enough considering the returns, but the market is low and unstable. This is only natural when it attracts specu- lators instead of investors. The gov- ernment tried to control this. by re- quiring 55 per cent margin. This has recently been reduced to 40 per cent ‘in answer to criticism, and 50 per cent margin is required for selling short. Lower taxes and lower interest rates ‘might also be of assistance in reviv- ing business and izi market. Abroad, the Arabs are rioting in French Morocco and_ threatening to riot in Palestine if Britain\insists on allowing the Jews to continue to settle there. A general Arab revolt: in the East could be disastrous to France and England, but may be averted by the inability of the Arabs to agree on a settled policy. Mexico. is also encountering difficul- ties in her attempts to return the land to the Indians who form the greatest part of her population. So many Mexicati oil wells and mineral deposits belong to American or other non-Mex- ican concerns that President’ Car- denas feels that they should be con- fiscated, but hesitates to risk foreign hostility and resistance. Meanwhile, Anthony Eden _ has warned the United States that nothing can be done at the Brussels Nine- Powér Conference without our coop- eration, as Britain cannot risk under- taking ineffective measures against Japan. Unfortunately, American pub- lic opinion on the Sino-Japanese War is still very much confused and may not be clarified for months to come. At home, the A. F. of L. still re- mains unreconciled to the C. I. O., with the question of unionization of mass-industries unsettled. A judge in Covington, Va., is experimenting with revivals of the mediaeval and barbarous custom of public whipping for wife-beating.

Hospital Aids , College In Emergency (Especially contributed by Olga Cushing Leary, M. D.) The location of the Bryn. Mawr hospital, one-half mile from the col- lege campus, makes it possible for special hospital service to be furnished to students without delay. The serv- ices most frequently used are those of the clinical laboratory, the X-ray department, and the operating room. Aout eight students a year are sent “to the hospital for X-ray for possible fractures. In the academic year 1936-37, one graduate student and seven undergraduates had their appendices removed at the hospital. In all thes@ cases, the nearness of. ‘the hospital to the college made it easy for patients to keep in touch with the college students, and during con- valescence friends of the students could readily visit them. In two in- stances, it would have been difficult and dangerous to mové students with very acutely inflamed appendices to a hospital at a greater distance. Besides the use of the hospital for major operations, several patients have been sent over to have abscésses incised under gas anaesthesia, as the infirmary has no facilities for anaes- thesia other than local. The hospital authorities have always been most courteous and generous in caring for employees as well as for students, and in reducing charges to students un- able to pay the full rates. Also in case of emergency, the hos- pital has always responded with great promptitude and several students and an employee, too ill to be moved oth- erwise have been taken to the hospital rapidly and safely by ambulance. It would not be possible for the infirmary to duplicate the services offered by the hospital without an enormous expenditure for equipment and personnel, which would be imprac- tical, as occasion for its use would be relatively infrequent. Thus the col- lege may consider itself fortunate be- cause of the presence of an excellent, modern hospital in this community. APPARITION DANGLES AS DENBIGH DANCES October 29.—About 25 couples and a dozen female stags turned out for Denbigh’s first dance of the season. A buffet supper in the showcase and smoking room, which harbored black eats and jack-o-landgans, preceeded the dance. In spite of the Hallowe’en atmos- phere, dancers gliding about the din- ing room to the strains of Madam Io Keene’s orchestra were ill prepared for the sudden appearance of a very genuine-looking ghost dangling at the window. On _ closer inspection it proved to be a pair of baby-blue Dr. Dentons (complete with feet and in actual use in Denbigh) surmounted by a lampshade,:the creation of the sec'uded souls who had taken refuge above.

These are: The early- breeding experi- ments of Mendel; the discovery of chromosomes in dividing cells. and of their relation to inherited character- |istics; the mapping of these chromo- somes; and the microscopic study of]. their structure, In 1865 Mendel, an Austrian monk, published the results of his experi- ments in plant breeding. He crossed different varieties of peas and found succeeding generations. Mendel’s work was coldly received, and the~impor- tance of his experiments’ not. realized until 1900, when three botanists sep- arately referred to his paper. When chromosomes were discovered it seemed clear that they carried .the hereditary characteristics, and since the beginning of ‘this century, breed- ing experiments and cytological study+ have gone ‘hand in hand. The latter was aided by the discovery that the salivary glands of the fruit. fly, Dry- sophila, ‘contain comparatively enor- mous chromosomes, which can: be stud- ied microscopically. This fly breeds rapidly and in large numbers, going through a complete cycle in»12 days, which also make it. well adapted for study. The chromosomes: of Drysophila have been mapped, determining where the genes, each carrying one or more definite’ characteristics, actually lie. The genes are carried on the discs of: the ratios of these varieties in the|. NEGRO TRADITION IS EXPRESSED IN DANCE The. Hampton Institute Creative Dance Group will be presented in Goodhart Hall on November 9. The 35 members have been training for four years, creating, transposing and planning their choreography. They are trying to“express the wealth of negro tradition in their work and through the medium of the modern dance. Their director is Miss Char- lotte Moton, former student at the Chellis School of Dancing in Boston, who has composed several numbers for them. The program to be given at Bryn Mawr includes three types of dances. . There are those of purely modern ex- pression; Choral, composed by Miss Moton, is one of these. Second are the dances of negro life in this coun- try: Dance rhythms, labor rhythms and spirituals.

Variations in an _ individual may result from an accident during meiotic division; when pieces of a chromosome: cross over, or are added - to another, causing duplication or omission of certain characteristics. Occasional variations result from changes in the genes themselves. Much of the modern work on chromosomes is an effort to alter the genes. Genic changes have been induced in Dryso- phila by means of X-rays, and these changes have actually been inherited, though just what has happened, Miss Gardiner explained, is not yet known. sca few seconds. heart to heart talk. ee oe a Bie bil ag Naal | ee ih HEART HEART Wheii a word from someone out-of-town will solve a-problem — a long distance call will relieve your troubled mind ina There is no satisfactory. ‘substitute for a | Take ‘advantage of the reduced Long Distance rates which are in effect each night after 7 and all day.

In Hemingway’s latest book we have what Clifton Fadiman calls a very superior description of Key West, Florida, and -we have also an objec- tive description, in the best Heming- way style of one Harry Morgan. His story is a simple one. He has a boat, which is his favorite ‘possession, next to his wife, whom he loves, and his daughters, toward whom he feels a definite protective instinct. The boat, however, occupies most of his atten- tion. At the beginning, Harry has been in the habit of taking men fish- ing for marlin and tuna, but a Mr. Johnson gets away without paying for the’boat’s hire, Harry’s crew or equipment, or the tackle which he loses overboard. This puts Harry in a tight spot. He agrees to convey some Chinese men out of Cuba, il- legally, we gather, and after he gets their money, he kills their agent and puts them’ ashore” again down the beach. This gives-him, a ‘certain “amount of capital. In the next section of the narrative, however, he is: reduced to smuggling liquor into the Keys. He gets found out, his arm is shot, and his boat confiscated by the’ Coast Guard. For the rest of the book, Harry is a one- armed man. He keeps on going from bad to worse, trying to steal his boat back from the Coast Guard and fail- ing, and finally borrowing a boat to carry some bank robbers back to Cuba, from where they came. This episode ends with Harry’ shooting four men and getting mortally wounded by one got them. Near-the end of the book “our attention shifts.to Richard Gor- don and his wife, Professor Mac- Walsey, Wallace Johnston, a yacht- owner, and Henry Carpenter, a para- site, other yacht-owners, immoral peo- ple and other parasites. Their por- ’ traits fill in the picture of Key West, and offer. a very crude, high-lighted contrast to the situation of Harry} Morgan, ‘his family and friends. The theme of the story is summed up in the delirious words of Harry which the men who find him wounded on his boat do not understand: “A man . ain’t got-no hasn’t got any: can’t. really isn’t any way out.’ To be even briefer: A man lives under tremendous odds. t The above outline implies the lack of plot subtlety or suspense in this book; its very simplicity even gives an idea of the ungarnished directness of the writing. Hemingway’s style seems to have changed only negligibly since the days of The Sun Also Rises. In _ his latest book we have the same outline of. episode for the sake of implying no feeling. We have the same careful creation of atmosphere for the purpose of showing how it has no effect on anybody. The only eloquence of the characters is in the repetitions of their speech. Heming- way writes in a pattern, and the main motifs of it are repetition of ‘certain vernacular words and phrases, and a trick of reporting inconsequential trivia of action. This is supposed to create an atmosphere. of lism, and some critics find it does: To us, it evokes an afMosphere of unreal and exaggerated manliness, that. is the air of a world. peopled by stoic,| blundering, repetitious, adjectival, ugly men, and various women seen through their éyes. These incoherent, ineffectual, immoral, furtive, and bad- smelling people, by the very monotohy of their action, and their pitiful lack of eloquence are probably supposed to reveal’ the irresistable passions that impell them, and to give meaning to their halting speech, and painful en-| deavor. Often, however, these people have not the subtlety to give us faith in their motivation. Sometimes the motivation is not pointed at all.

The Presi- dent of the Council has been the Presi- dent of the Undergraduate Associa-' tion, Julia Grant, ’38, but at the sec- ond meeting of this year, the Council elected in her place, Louise Morley, President of the International Rela- tions Club. The purpose of the Coun- cil is to coordinate and arouse inter-' est in all phases of campus peace ac-' tivity.
