Whether or not 1942 will be-a May Day year, is to be decided by ballot on Wednes- day, May 18. Movies and speeches will present the case’ before the campus makes it decision. A mass méeting for the discus- sion of Big May Day will be held by the Undergraduate Association in Goodhart, Monday, May 12,. at 7.15. Colored movies of the 1936 May Day will be shown directly afterward. Speakers will present the different factors and points of view involved. Mademoiselle Ger- maine Brée, associate professor of French, will speak from the fac- ulty point of view, and as one who participated as a graduate student in the last Big May Day. Miss Mary Meigs, instructor in Eng- lish, will speak as one who was an undergraduate in the 1936 May Day. Margot Dethier, ’42, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, will discuss the effect which. the pre- sentation -of May Day next year would have upon other extra-cur- ricular activities. The point of view of those who will be seniors next year will be presented by Barbara’ Cooley, ’42, and that. of the other three classes, by Ann Adams, 743.

The Pirates of Penzance number two, given at Haverford, nearly caused nervous breakdown among a tired girls’ chorus, buten- tailed much hilarity. Restraint at the cues for the men’s chorus was one of the first problems encountered by the chang- lings. But those who had always been girls soon coached all the legs to kick in the same direction. The directors meanwhile coaxed out a charming falsetto. A real problem of mixed author- ity was created by the indignant coaching of the cast which had al- ready been through one perform- ance.

Students were not asked to give. The three agencies for which funds were solicited were: the British War Relief Society, the United Committee for China Re- lief and the Greek War Society. Many members of the College com- munity had, of course, already given generously to War Relief be- fore the drive. The final total in- cludes the first proceeds from the sale of snapdragons donated by Mr. Harry Wells and sold by Miss Mary Meigs. Dr. Cameron was in charge of the drive, in which.

Need Found in Rock for Second Telephone; Rock Installs It, But Faces New Problems By Nancy Evarts, *43 It seems incredible that for all these years Rock has been strug- gling along with only one telephone, but no one has ever before had the initiative to suggest the radical scheme of installing a second one. Now it has happened. Due to the | -most intimate conversations can no longer be held privately. Seniors, we are told, were particularly untiring persistency’ of Dora Thompson, the eighty palpitating inhabitants of Rock will no longer have to wait for their turns—at least not as long as they did be- fore. It was Dora who realized the necessity of taking the great step. Being a progressive hall president, she could not leave her post with- out stopping such flagrant abuse of both the telephone and would-be conversationalists. After much agitation and consultation with Miss Howe, her efforts culminated in the installation of a second tele- phone last spring vacation. All is not yet peaceful in Rock, however, for, since nobody had ever foreseen the necessity of another telephone, there was no room for one. The best that could be done was to put the second oné in Rock’s one and only telephone booth on the opposite wall from the older inhabitant. Needless to say, this scheme has its drawbacks. The happiness of the inmates of Rock at having twice as many chances as they formerly did to telephone must be somewhat cloyed by the thought that their averse to the idea of two telephones in close juxtaposition. The dilemma of the maid when both telephones ring at once can only be surmised. There must be ‘some difficulty in deciding, which one to answer first or whether to answer both at once. The extra running up and down stairs in- volved is also: highly unpopular. — Probably the person who ap- proves most of the arrangement is the freshman in Rock who was call- ed up on both telephones at the same time. This situation should have great possibilities, besides be- ing an opportunity to save time and energy by murmuring sweet nothings into both mouthpieces at once. “ae Calendar Thursday, May 8 Philosophy Club.

M. to Offer Courses in 18th Century, Science ‘History Next year/an attempt will be made to co-ordinate related depart- ments by presenting two courses, one in the relation of sciences, a second in the relation of philoso- phy, history, economics and Eng- lish in the Eighteenth Century. The outline of the history of sci- ence grew out of the series of his- tory of science lectures given this year. Next year it will be offered as an elective half-unit course. Mr. Crenshaw will lecture first semester on the history of ancient and medieval science. The departments of biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics, physics and psychol- ogy will co-operate in the second semester, emphasizing the more modern development in each field. The course on life and thought in the eighteenth century will be given by Mrs. de Laguna, Mrs. Manning, Miss Northrop and Miss Stapleton, as a one-unit elective. These lectures will attempt to create for the students a picture of the eighteenth century world. The co-ordination of these inter- departmental courses with the stu- dents’ other work is difficult, said Mrs. Manning, but it is hoped that this problem will be better worked out after the following year. wibiig wae, Playwriting The playwrighting course will not be given by Miss Latham next year.

Broughton, Carpenter Speak on Near East German Invasion Parallels Early Persian Attack Deanery, Sunday, May 4.—The Faculty Defense Committee pre- sented, as their third lecture, dis- cussions of the geography and strategy of the Near East. Mr. Carpenter spoke of the Greek cam- paign and its possible results, and Mr. Broughton explained the geog- raphy of Turkey and the obstacles the country offers to an invading army. Mr. Carpenter pointed out the parallel between the Persian inva- sion of Greece in the fourth cen- tury B. C. and the German inva- sion of yesterday. Greece has only three main positions for defense: the Vale of Tempe, a pass near Mount Olympus; Thermopylae, a stronger position to the south; and the Isthmus of Corinth which pro- tects the Peloponnesus. The Per- sians forced Tempe and Thermopy- lae, which opened the Attic plain; but never dared to attack the Isth- mus, The Germans, however, had no scruples, said Mr. Carpenter. They had planes, which hopped the mountains and made the defense of small valleys impossible. The her- oic stands were again made at Olympus and Thermopylae; but Corinth was doomed. Mr. Broughton believes that al- Constantinople to the Axis, Ana- tolia, their homeland, might be de- fended against invasion. Asia Minor offers two main barriers to an invading army; the chain of mountains along the shore of the Black Sea, and the Tauros chain which stretches along the southern coast. Hitler, once past Constan- tinople, would have to force one of the two steep passes in the north- ern chain to gain the plateau; ‘or could continue along the Mediter- though the Turks may not deny ‘Forum Group in First Project Presents Analysis of Convoying Present _Convoys Unable To Meet Air Attacks, Stone Disclosed Common Room, April 30.—A Forum Group including all inter- ested undergraduates has been formed this spring to take the place of the dissolved Peace Council. On Wednesday evening, six students presented the results of the first project, an analysis of the convoy problem. Convoy Methods Defined Ellen Stone defined a convoy as “any protection of merchant ship- ping in war-time.” She added that old-type destroyers, such as the ones we traded to the British, and modern corvettes are best for con- voys because they are cheap to op- erate and because speed is not necessary... The present method of convoying is to group the freighters with explosive cargoes in the middle and to convoy with three destroyers, a corvette and an armed merchant vessel. This group starts from Halifax with plane escorts which soon drop back. About two hundred miles out’ the destroyers and the corvette drop back leaving the armed merchant ship to pro- tect the fleet until more destroyers and later planes pick them up off the English coast. The function of the armed merchantman is to in- - tercept attacking vessels, giving the fleet a chance to scatter. Ellen Stone declared that the three most important facts about the present convoy system are: that they are using fewer escort ships than in the first World War, that they are not using cruisers, and that convoys are not designed to meet air attacks. Losses Numbered . Barbara Bradley disclosed that the announced 40 per cent loss of American goods shipped to Britain is highly exaggerated. Although the British won’t announce the losses which their fleet has sus- tained, it is known that about. 69 out of every 70 convoys reaches Continued. on Page Four Reason and Intuition The Philosophy Club will present Dr. Martin Foss, of the Cooperative Workshop in Haverford, at 4.30, Thursday afternoon, in the Common Room.

We are concerned now not with the old England, its customs and peace, but with a burning England; and the threat of a domineering and brutal civilization. Is it not our duty at such a time to emphasize the vital ideas on which a free country is based and to consider the best and most adequate means of applying them to our present situation? Does _ May Day, a portrait of Elizabethean England, help us to do this? Now is the time for Bryn Mawr.to help, not to spend money and energy on artificial and ephemeral folderol. The importance of the development of ideas in activities such as the forum group, the international relations club, the industrial group, and the new war- time groups is far more important to us now. The News Board cannot visualize a May Day in 1942. But if a production such as May Day is so essential to the the present college group, would it not be more valuable today to feature something like the legend and history of Philadelphia where . On the Other Hand. som ‘Tf.all the energy expended this spring, to crowd the calendar with events and satiate audiences, were collected into one under- taking, the result might be Big May Day. The difference lies only in the equalization of activity. Today the stage crew rushes from rocky mountains to Titania’s bower, andthe flat, this day-a ruined castle, the next, becomes the wall of Quince’s house. Sunlight be- comes moonlight by a hasty flash of gelatins. The sleeping beauty sleeps very little and her feet are unnaturally calloused for those of a fairy in a dream. Hammers, lights, flats, and days for produc- tion are fought over hy conflicting groups. A limited number of people and amount of equipment must serve all performances. _ For many of the people, joy in what they do has been replaced by a deadening consciousness that without their thankless work the show could not go on. In the midst of this overlapped activity the majority remain unmoved. The vitalizing atmosphere created has little penetrating power. Groups remain small and limited in outlook, hall battles hall, and class, class. The average student on graduation has not greatly widened her viewpoint. Intensive education has taught her techniques which she is- unable to apply in her relations with. other people, for her association has been with those whose interests and view points are as specialized and limited as her own. On the other hand, the person upon whom has fallen the task of maintaining a: normal amount of ‘extra curricular activity, leaves college equally unprepared for life outside. She has never known concentration ; she is master of nothing. The fault is partly that of the individual and partly that of the system, Some amount of extra curricular ‘activity is necessary in “any college in order to introduce balance. The number of people -hecessary to carry on this activity is not much less for the small college than it is for the large college—the size of the production staff of a play and of its cast are the same whether tryouts number in the tens or hundreds, the size-of a hockey team is standard, the board of a weekly newspaper is fairly fixed—but the number of ‘maintenance of a student body at Bryn Mawr, and to the unity of |. ~ War - - - Pro Spring has come now.

If I understand the function of the News board correctly, every- thing that is written is approved by it before being published. There- fore, if there is something about the music criticisms in general that we do not~like, it would seem ‘to reflect something. on the policy of the News as well as on the efforts of one reporter.

How long and how well can we fight unaided against a foe growing daily stronger and more self-assured? A foe who can attack from either ocean and from scattered points of land. A foe already invading us from within with subtle and open propaganda. And it would come to war. No peace of any durance can exist between the outspoken, free-minded Americans and the domineer- ing, hard-minded Nazis. peace with a false smile and a chip on the shoulder, For this the United States would have to devise an entirely new economic system, an independent or a subservient system. We would have to devise it quickly. And perhaps we wouldn’t like it. Perhaps it is more in our nature to be “good neighbors.” Even so, we would soon be obviously catering to the fascist governments or we would jump up sharply against the realization that democracy and fascism cannot-work hand in hand. This declaration is faith in America. Not the faith that be- lieves in America first and only—save America and you save the world. It is a faith that America is an ‘important part of the world, and can and will remain so. It is a faith that American life can be put on a wartime basis—the sheep aroused and the strong properly led—while in our hearts the principles of democracy are remem- bered and revered. It is a faith that America, its people and its government, can do their part in this war and establish freedom as the rule for the lives of those here, and everywhere else, who believe in it. ~~ Satty Jacos.

It is meant.rather to express one opinion that it would have been better not to have come down so hard on the music critic, who in- cidently earned her position by try- outs which were open to anyone interested and willing enough to take the time, thought, and care which being music critic on the News involves. I’m afraid this letter accidentally coincides with an attempt at music criticism myself. It really is ac- cidental, because, the music critic was unavoidably away, but, if more than ten undergraduates had attended the concert-.on Sunday, someone else would have been asked: to “write it up.” Now I’d better stop, having, no doubt, by now come in for a goodly share of criticism myself.

Now, we have lost that sense of im- mediacy which keyed this play so sharply to daily interest. How- ever, “There Shall Be No Night” has gained, rather than lost, force during the intervening year: Each morning’s headlines — Belgium, Norway, Holland—have strength- ened this penetrating indictment of Nazi philosophy. The play is essentially a sum- ming up of different attitudes to- ward the present world situation— idealistic pacifism, scientific bru- tality, youthful stoicism, hopeless cynicism. All these elements, representative of modern thought, are drawn together in the first scene and continue to react upon one another until the final curtain. By centering the action about a small family circle, the author produces an exceptionally clear-cut exposition of these forces involved in conflict. Seeing these forces in actual operation before our eyes, we are shocked into a greater conscious- ness of their existence and mean- ing. We have all read the aims of the Nazi government many times, but to actually hear them baldly stated and to observe the - various reactions to such ideology is a valuable stimulus to construc- tive thinking about the possibilities of our own present position. The complete absence of sentimentality | in presenting the story is an aid to an objective consideration of the _ situation. There is no mawkish dramatization of a sol- dier’s duty or death but.only the realization of the final necessity of force. The characters in “There Shall Be No Night” are never mechanical mouthpieces of ideas, however; they are definite individuals. Ad- ditional interest is created by the fact that each person is_ both special and ‘universal, a member of the Valkonen family in Finland and, at the same time, of any fam- ily in. any country. Although Miss Fontanne is the epitome of graciousness and her scenes with her son’ magnificent, this is dis- tinctly Mr. Lunt’s play. From his first radio speech to his final “‘lec- ture” in the little school room, he expresses the dominant motif of essential optimism, of faith in the light of the mind, in the power of man to fight through to a true knowledge of himself. The true value of “There Shall be No Night” lies in the power of its presenta- tion of contemporary principles and their effects upon human life in its highest form of present civiliza- tion.

Powers scholarships. It seems that besides being its punc- tilious president and disciplinary fire-captain, she is one of its chief diversions. Her friends had to be bribed not to divulge certain secrets, but rumors escaped of weaknesses for Shirley Temple, ice cream, Katherine Cornell, comb- and-tissue-paper bands, and spon- taneous photography. Mention East Chop, Martha’s | Vineyard to Mudd, and she will lapse into a blissful trance of sum- mer reminiscences. Now she is in the midst of a philology paper on the place-names of the island. This is typical of the happy mingling of work and play in her life: she once slept on wedding cake and dreamed of Aeneas; in Latin plays she has played the part of toothless burly slaves. No one seems to know when she writes her Latin. verse or main- tains her magnificent average, but in the motto, written in bold type, over her door: “No Time for Comedy.” Mudd is grateful to her new fame, if for no other reason, be- cause it gives her a chance to an- nounce publicly that the name is .Harzz—not Hartz—but Harzzz. It is quite admirable, she thinks, that she should have persevered in the face of this frustration in name, for even her own Latin department hasn’t got it right yet. Mudd, hop- ing to. do honors..and~-eventually graduate work in philology, is | word-conscious anyway, and must |be particularly pained by this com- | mon misunderstanding.

As a matter of fact, she confessed that when such things happen to her she never seems to have enough time to get excited; in ’83 she was too busy picking herself up and falling down again and in ’41 she was too busy writing a Logic Paper. Ellen is what is commonly known as a “navy junior” which means in a layman’s language that she went to twelve public schools and that her father is somewhere at sea and her mother is in Honolulu. Inci- dently she didn’t think it was worth ten cents a word to cable her family the glad tidings so she wrote a letter instead. “Until I came to college,” she added, “I didn’t think I’d ever live in one place for three years.” Her wan- derings, however, have been strictly limited to the United States except for one day spent in Mexico. But even the greatest minds have their weaknesses. Ellen’s are Hygiene (just the mental. part) and the swimming test which she passed on her fourth try.

The voices carry surprisingly well in the hollow behind Goodhart. When we arrived everything was go- ing smoothly, with a rather mild and tearful scene of the lovers played against the very impressive background of Goodhart. The calm was soon dissipated by the flying entrance of Hermia from the side of the stage, followed, after a short but noisy fist fight, by the equally flying exit of Helena from the other side. Nothing daunted, the extras sat calmly under a tree, and Hippolyta perched precariously on the edge of the balcony. Little Eddy Davis, who plays the chang- ling boy, wandered about solemnly, and finally disappeared under the weavers’ house. The scene grew more athletic every minute, until Puck’s very neat job of strangling the lovers finally reduced them to a state of apparent coma. The dressing room was crowded with studious Haverford boys, seemingly unmoved by the screams that floated in. One unfortunate weaver in blue and yellow striped‘ tights kept pleading with the cos- tume girl, “They won’t stay up!” That tragedy being averted, some- one asked hopefully if they were Aristophanes Aristophanes’ Peace will be presented in Greek at Swarthmore College on Sat- urday, May 17, at 5.30.

The prompter look- ed puzzled and then smiled bright- ly, “Oberon? Oh, he sits in it. Just sits there for hours and hours.” Titania’s bower is in the back of the stage, and the weavers’ house, not yet finished, is opposite Oberon’s tree. Puck seems to spend much of her time behind a large rock in the center of the stage, and emerges frequently with a rather startling green face and false nose.

At present, the combined navies of Germany, Italy |: and Japan exceed the British and American by 200 vessels. British shipyards, filled with boats being repaired are being bombed con- stantly so that production in Eng- land is at a standstill. International Law Agnes Martin explained the In- ternational Law on convoys. Con- stitutionally, the President as Commander-in-Chief can send our navy anywhere, but no American merchant ships can enter areas which the President. declares to be war zones. Under international law no neutral can convey a ship carrying contraband of war, and the enemy.can assert the right of visit, search and seizure on any neutral_.ship in war Zones. There- fore, it would be a breach of the law for us to convoy ships to Bri- tain. Some believe that we are not bound by the Hague Conven- tion because when a covenant is broken by one party the other par- ties are not bound to observe it. Public Opinion Betty Nicrosi reported on Pub- lic Opinion. According to the Gal- lup poll ten days ago, she said, 67 per cent of the country was against convoys, but three days ago, this number had decreased to 50 per cent. Fifty-one per cent of Con- gress is for convoying and 45 per cent against it. : Pro and Con Catherine Clement discussed the attitude of important’ individuals toward convoys. The President evades the issue and seems to be searching for a means short of war. In April he said that “Convoys mean shooting and shooting means war” and that he had no inten- tion of sending convoys to Great Britain. There are four import- ant arguments used by those in favor of convoys: 1), we cannot allow our goods to be sunk; the tax-payers wouldn’t like it, and it would be violating our policy as ex- pressed_in the Lease-Lend_bill; 2), the British cannot convoy all alone.. At present their rate of loss is three times gréater than that of production; 3), half measures won’t work. Together the U. S. and .Great Britain can defeat Hitler by keeping the seas open; 4), Repre- sentative Joseph Baldwin of New York believes that a convoy extend- ing halfway will-keep us out of the war. There is only one argument used against. convoys, she concluded, convoys mean war. ~° Combined Cast Gives Pirates at Haverford Continued from Page One violent but expressive weeping of the Pirates and the antics of the leads.

Great Business Need For Personnel Work, Declares Mrs. Little Goodhart May 5. — “In every type of business, there is someone needed for personnel work,” Mrs. Charles Little declared at the Vo- cational Tea where she spoke on Opportunities for- Women in Per- sonnel Work. Personnel work is working with people in organized groups. It offers an uncrowded field but at the same time demands definite qualifications, Personnel work brings the dual responsibility of pleasing the com- pany which the personnel worker represents and of fitting the appli- cant in a situation where he will be happy. Consequently, a knowledge of the people with whom the ap- plicant will work and an ability to judge the applicant are necessary. One must be sympathetic and alert to. people’s. personalities. If an applicant is misplaced, his whole future life may be affected. Voice training said Mrs. Little is an important tool for interviews, and typing and shorthand are use- ful to take quick notes. In this work—much like that of a doctor’s —physical endurance is vital. A course in accounting is often de- sirable so that one can express cases in mathematical as well as social terms. Finally, tolerance and patience are indispensible— one is constantly dealing with two sides: the employers’ and the em- ployees’. The_best training for such work is in department stores where one can get the employees’ point of view and _ see_ their problems. Schools for personnel work are good but not vital, for one can get — = anaemic mati semana —"=={__=zx«{={{={==={====================={=anaQ— ..

Trailing 1-2 at the conclu- sion of Singles’ play, the Yellow and White ‘took both Doubles matches to win. Waples, ’42, playing 1st Singles, was in poor form, and lacked con- trol when extended. Maizie John- son,- playing very well, won 6-0; 6-1. At 2nd Singles, Marion Johnson lost an exciting match to Matthai, 43, who played beautifully; her game showed good anticipation, penetrating forehand and _—back- hand drives, and a forceful net at- tack. Fleet, ’43, lost the 8rd Singles match to Hennie Tomlinson 6-1} 6-1. While she was the more force- ful player of the two, Fleet was unable to outsteady her opponent and win their long rallies. Matthai and Norton, ’42, defeated Johnson and. Johnson 17-5; _ 6-1. They showed good teamwork and accurate placements, and. above all they gave their opponents oppor- tunities to defeat themselves. Fleet’ and Waples, showing both control and confidence to hit hard, had no difficulty defeating Swarth- more’s 1st Doubles pair, 6-1; 6-2. most of the requirements independ- ently.

I have a few theories about May Day which are irrefutable when you have wit- nessed three of these annual fes- tivities. From. a detached point (second floor Rhoads South) my coolly critical eye surveyed the scene and I came to the conclusion that May Day was an invention of the devil, I mean-the seniors. ‘In the first place, they make Sophomores wake them up (is that the true sisterly spirit?) and then to sustain themselves, they insti- tuted the tradition of coffee and sticky buns provided by their hu- man alarm clocks. While every- one stands. around gloomily rub- bing hollow midriffs, these same seniors gloat down upon them from Rock Tower. By this time, their gluttonous souls are ready for more food and they romp gleefully off to Miss Parks for another break- fast. But now comes the most insidious part of the whole set-up; after two such hearty meals they begin to worry about their figures. Instead of doing a normal thing like go-|[ ing off into a corner for ten: push- ups and ten touch-toes, they make the whole soggy-toast-and-coffee- fed college dance hectically around the green with them. --! And as a final insult, while everyone else pants wearily on the grass or frantically clutches at the nearest tree, they all race madly toward a little stone sundial push- ing hoops before them. They say it-proves that seniors aren’t senile, but my theory is that it’s just the second breakfast. Green Sisters Lingerie TEN ARDMORE ARCADE ARDMORE, PA. Sportswear Suggestion!

Henri Peyre stressed the im- portance of antiquity, not only in past and present French literature, but also as a gauge for personal aesthetics ‘and individual inspira- tion. In modern times, said M. Peyre, classical education has been re- placed by the study of pseudo-sci- ences, and its lack has been felt. The classical has been in ‘continu- ous change and with new genera- tions gains new interpretations, and furnishes new inspirations. There have been few ‘literary trends which have not been influ- enced. by the Latin and Greek antiquities. The main influences have been in two directions. One, we find in modern writers’ traces | of religion and legend. Secondly, a. living, fecond and violent influ- ence, marked by immoderation, of- ten intoxicates followers of the classical tradition. The nineteenth and _ twentieth centuries were most influenced by antiquity. In the nineteenth cen- tury, this effect was demonstrated Fellowship _. Miss Katharine O. Aston was awarded the Fellowship of the Germanistic Society of America for 1941-42. Miss Storek, a member of the Ger- man Department, is holder of the Fellowship for the pres- ent year. The candidate is selected by a committee, from among the students, men and women, of all American Uni- versities. by a youthful violence and a sen- sible imagination which associated itself with nature. In more recent literature, three themes have .been dominant: the subconscious has been produced through classical symbols; themes imitated from the classical have entered into social poetry and propaganda; third, the classical has found a part in escape literature. In the sixtéenth century, the in- fluence of Latin and Greek litera- ture moulded the renaissance of reason. The seventeenth century, even while opposing antiquity, lowed much to it. A new aesthetic tury variation from revolt against antiquity to imitation of it in descriptive poetry.

Lectures On Imagery of Plato Common Room, May 1. — Mr. Cameron in his lecture to the Phil- osophy Club interpretated Plato’s style as in‘ itself a symbol of the four-fold line. There are three kinds of imagery ir the dialogues: obvious imagery, hidden imagery and the image of the dialectic. The obvious imagery, as the image of the eave in the Republic, is on the lowest level of the four-fold line of understanding. Hidden imagery is on a higher level; parallelism be- tween the three classes in the Re- public and the four virtues is’ of this nature. The highest level is reached with the image of the dialectic, which deals solely with ideas by the art of question and answer. It is beyond the realm of shadows and in that of truth, but beyond. it is the Platonic Truth hel El teal eel HEDGEROW THEATRE MOYLAN, PA.

Sullivan’s Program Widely Varied; Songs Warmly Interpreted Specially Contributed by Ann Adams, ’43 Deanery, Sunday, May 4.—Miss Constance Sullivan, Bryn Mawr, Herben to Lecture At Art Club Exhibit e Photographs of illustrations from rare Chaucerian manuscripts will be exhibited by the Art Club on Thursday, May 8, at 8 6’clock, iri the Common Room. The exhibit 1930, presented in her recital a \.hrogram of songs which‘was widely varied, and sung with warmth of feeling and interpretation. Miss Sullivan’s outstanding character- istics are her complete poise and ‘ gimplicity, combined with her un- derstanding..of the mood of her songs. ’ The first group of songs, sung in English, opened with Take O Take Those Lips Away by Dr. Wilson. The light and humorous When Daisies Pied, by Dr. Arne, followed. Willow, Willow, a tra- ditional air which Desdemona sing's before she dies, was sung with feeling and more depth of volume than was apparent in the first two songs. Haydn’s She Never Told Her Love was followed by the more familiar Who Is Sylvia by Schu- bert. In this last song of the first group, the full power of Miss Sullivan’s voice was realized. The German group consisted of songs by Schumann and Brahms. The sympathetic interpretation of Brahms was particularly lovely. In Schumann’s Der Nussbaum the tone on the lower notes was full and resonant. The third and last group opened with Chausson’s Le Temps~ des Lilas, a French song in the mood of the dying spring which it de- picts. This was followed by a gayer song of Debussy, Voici que le Printemps. Another Debussy song La Chevelure was in a somber it Aap - 8 was well created by. Miss Sullivan. She sang Nana a Spanish lullaby by De Falla with tenderness and an .exceptionally lovely soft tone. The accompani- ments, played by Paul Meyer, were in close sympathy with the songs.

There’s enough emotional propaganda like that Dartmouth student’s letter—and dogmatically factional opinion around campus without making it any more obvi- ous. What we need is more cool, con- cise statements, backed by coherent fatts, such as Nancy Ellicott’s article. Present issues must be clafified, not confused by arousing fresh emotions. The intelligent ma- jority should be encouraged to back its aid to Britain with definite, well-planned action. The “loyal opposition” could profit by realiz- ing that its chief contribution lies not. in hindering the* adopted. poli- cies but in doing its utmost to free us from bitterness. and narrow- mindedness. Varied ideas must be tolerated, even encouraged. But it’s still true that “United we stand, divided we fall.” So let’s use these new columns for propos- ing action based on adequate evi- dence and expressing opinions without heatedness and hatred.
