Possible faculty opinions on all affairs of current interest, whether national or local, _are often the subject.of discussion among undergraduates. Often ideas are attached to different professors and asser- ‘tions made concerning them. Frequently these ideas are not only falsely claimed for the professor in question, but also _ misrepresented. Any verification or rectification of faculty opinion would to us that misrepresentation might be prevented if the fac- ulty are in any way willing to respond to the students’ in- terest. Certain members of the faculty have lent themselves wholeheartedly to the demands of Current Events and Alli- ance lectures, but students would like to come into closer, Clearer, and less limited contact with the ideas of a larger number of professors. The News offers a column in which members. of the fac- ulty may express their opinions. We would like the profes- sors to think of the News not merely as an undergraduate concern, not a thing apart, but as an organ which is equally at their disposal. of student opinion. criticism of the News and the views printed therein. The News is the chief means of expression From the faculty we would welcome Some professors have expressed the wish to-come into closer con- tact with the students. all their professors.

Senate, were the subject of Mrs. Cameron’s current events lec- ture. Noting the unusual number of historical annivérsaries celebrated last week, in conjunction with the effects of the Moscow Conference on various nations, Mrs. Cameron mentioned the resulting actions of the Soviet Union, Germany, France, and the United States. Stalin, speaking on the twenty- sixth anniversary of the Russian Revolution, indicated that the agreement has raised hopes of a military victory in the near future. His attitude toward the Western powers, Mrs. Cameron said, show- ed marked change, for in place of the usual plea for the Second Front there was a tribute to the shattering effect of air power on German industry. He. also recog- supplies. nized the steady stream of war The Premier drew a sharp division between these ‘fa- miliar statements and compara- tively new topics. The extent of Russian pledges for European freedom, for instance, he made clear for the first time...Western Europe, according to the agree- ment will become an economic fed- eration centering in Austria, with Czechoslovakia sharing her power. In Eastern Europe, however, the Soviet Union draws the line of states to be liberated through Finland, the Baltic states, White Russia, the Ukraine, Bessarabia, and the Crimea, Mrs. Cameron feels that the United Nations must cede these territories rather than risk a conflict with Russia. The effect of the Moscow agree- ment in clarifying positions was equally apparent in Hitler’s speech on the tenth anniversary of the “wrenched elbows? ‘ publications, Vogue, WI rs END So you are suffering from in- grown toenails, twisted id ects, and In that case we’d better spray your throat.

Hemingway Explains Vogue Prix de Paris Deanery, November 8. Magy Moon Hemingway, Bryn Mawr 1940, one time first prize winner of Vogue’s.Prix de Paris explained the annual contest to Bryn Mawr Seniors in a talk sponsored by the Bureau of Recommendations. The Prix de Paris has been con- ducted by Vogue Magazine nation- ally for the past eight years. It consists this year of submitting a series of four quizzes and one 1000 word article. Each quiz will con- sist of two questions, one based on a fashion feature and one on a non-fashion feature—music, liter- ature, art or the theatre. The first prize is a year’s job on Vogue’s staff and the second prize is six months on the magazine. Such a job promises a 5-day week, begin- ning at $30 a week. Ten awards of merit will provide job oppor- tunities on all four Conde Nast House and Garden, Vogue Pattern Book and Glamour, or jobs with stores and advertising agencies. Mrs. Hemingway advised exper- ience in writing for publication, but stated that English and jour- nalism were not necessary for an entrant. While reading of Vogue issues is helpful, imitation of Vogue style is unnecessary. This year the contest has been limited to one half the time it has taken in previous years. Mrs. Heming- way estimates that entrance in the contest would involve a minimum of two week-end’s work on crea- tive writing. The entries will be graded on clear and individual writing, gen- eral and .current information, awareness and fashion knowledge. Quizzes can.be found in the var- ious issues of Vogue and will be based on specific preceding issues. that he would not “lose his nerve.” The Munich press on the next day went so war as to admit that the German military position was relatively the same now as in No- vember,1918, but asserted that this time there will be no revolt from within. French politicians, Mrs. Cam- eron pointed out, were angered at their exclusion from the Confer- ence, and refused to respect any declaration in which the European continent is not-represented. “This exclusion,” -said- Mrs. Cameron, “is the most depressing aspect of the conference.” The chief effect on American politics was the apparent disap- pearance of “isolationism.” Almost unanimously the Senate passed the Connally bill incorporating point four of the agreement; opposed sabotaging amendments of the agreement itself. ‘Mrs. Cameron hoped for the ‘permanent banishment of such “dsolationism.” War Conditions Alter Fall Issue of Lantern The first issue of the Lantern, the college literary magazine, will appear soon after Thanksgiving, reports Helena Hersey, editor. Due to war time conditions, and the failure of the cigarette companies to advertise, the Lantern will be mimeographed this year. Three issues will be published at a cost of $1.00 or less. Besides contributions from the students, linoleum blocks and cuts will be used, and it is hoped that the cover can be printed. Plans are being made to permit Haver- ford to. contribute, since they will be unable to have their own mag- azine. The cutting of the sten- cils for mimeographing will be a paid campus job. Merion’s Freshmen Retain Play Plaque 4 Continued from Page 1 sustained interest in the action. It was the excellence of these char- acters, and in particular of Sir Little Boy, that overshadowed the more minor ones sufficiently to diminish the disjointed effect of the whole. The Rhoads Freshmen, present- ing Ways and Means, by Noel Coward, were handicapped by the necessity of cutting such a long play, and by a consequent lack of central unity. In spite of this, the play as a whole was an example of good direction and staging. Mary Schaeffer, as Stella, the wife, rendered her lines with the sophistication and poise necessary to the role, carrying the length of the part and the inadequacy of the cutting quite successfully. The gestures of Toby, the husband, played by Martha Gross, were con- stantly amusing, but in general she interpreted her role more as a caricature than a true portrayal. Although the choice of the Rockefeller play, New School for Wives, by Kirkpatrick, was a good one for the amount of time given to Freshmen plays, it failed. to achieve the necessary atmosphere. Except in the case of Harriet, “the studious type,” played by Julie Chittenden and the athletic Rob- erta, played by Joan Campbell, the acting .was unconvincing. The languid Cecile, played by Mary Sherman, though effective, lost interest in her part between speeches; while John, the father, Opinion Biology Department Inquires Into Vote for Embryology At Haverford Editor of the College News: The embroyologically - minded members of the Bryn Mawr Biol- ogy Department would like to in- quire into the motives of the two polled students who have express- ed an interest in enrolling in Hav- erford’s course in embryology. To the best of our knowledge, the only course in embryology for Haverford students is one given in Dalton ‘Hall solely by the Bryn Mawr Department of Biology (which incidentally offers two courses in embryology to interest- ed Bryn Mawr students). It would seem that the students who have expressed a preference for the on course have in mind ‘3 ther than purely in- Mlectual Pa a the Bryn Mawr Biology Depart- Cross-section through the heart of | WHAT TO DO U.

The Neighborhood Centre in Philadelphia—volunteer workers— group leaders of children’s classes. gave too young and too feminine an impression both in gesture and voice. Except in the scerte between Ellen, Norma Ulian, and Warren Price, played by Ann __ Dudley, there was no rapport between characters. Price was by far the best part acted, done with liveli- - ness and enthusiasm. The maid, Catherine Clark, attracted atten- tion for the excellent presentation of her small role. The staging of Denbigh’s A Night at an Inn, by Lord Dunsany, | was the chief factor in achieving the effective atmosphere on which the play rested. The acting, han- dicapped by the problem of an all- male cast, was not particularly distinguished, and slowed down the-pace_of the play.._The attack scenes were especially realistie and the atmosphere was well-es- tablished by all the characters. The difficulties of amateur pro- duction in a play with as little ac- tion as Radnor’s The Lost Silk Hat, were apparent in its slow movement, but the play was well- finished, if not unified. Barbara Stix, as the Laborer, played the part to its utmost. value, making good use of ejaculation and ~ges- ture, but the other parts, though ,| adequately taken, were lacking in inspiration and individuality. The off-stage singing was effective, but the performance as a whole failed to hold pa audience’s at- tention. In Pembroke East's The Man in the Bowler Hat, by A. A. Milne, the characters were well - typed, though again tending to be over- caricatured. The play was amus- ing but the scenes between the Chief Villain, Alison Barbour, and the Hero, Mimi Foster were not particularly convincing. It was hard to believe the actors were living their parts. At times how- ever, John, Doreen Hurwitz, reached the absent-minded sense of melodrama required of the part, and the Hero showed a good feel- ing for the necessary underacting and humor of the role.
