WORKER’S ELIGIBILITY
IS HARD TO DEFINE
_Goodhart, April 19.—In the third
Shaw Lecture, on Social Services:
Their Working and Significance, Mrs.
Barbara Wootton outlined Britain’s
30 years’ experience with Old Age
Pensions, Widows’ Pensions, Unem-
ployment and Sickness Insurance and
“other forms of relief. Although the
idea of social insurance was at first
decried in England as_ impractical
and revolutionary, it is now accepted
in the most conservative programs.
Mrs. Wootton pelieves that public
opinion ‘should, in time, follow the
same course in, the United States,
though British methods of relief may
well be varied.
The determination of workers’
eligibility for relief is the most diffi-
cult problem ofthe Unemployment
Insurance System. General defini-
“tions of involuntary unemployment,
a reasonable job, or a subsistance in-
come, are almost impossible to formu-
late, but Unemployment _ Insurance
must be consistent’ and definite if it
is to be a true democratic system, in
which citizens have rights and du-
ties, and. not an arbitrary, handout
by the great “They” of impersonal
authority. Relief is far more degrad-
ing, and taken greater advantage of
under the latter system.
The dangers of degradation and
loss of initiative because of relief are
overrated, Mrs. Wootton believes.
The outcry (heard less and less in
England) against “living in luxury
on the dole” is also rather baseless.
The practical maximum of cer es in
England, for a family with fou
five children, is ten dollars a ok.
which hardly make a worker wish to
stay “on,” if he.could possibly find
work.
Efficiently organized Labor Ex-
changes must form a part of success-
ful Unemployment Insurance admin-
istration. If such agencies have a
complete registration of all vacancies
andyof all:the unemployed, with the
kinds of work to which they are ac-
customed and the incomes that they
need, the elimination of the volun-
“ tarily workless will be far easier.
Mrs. Wootton does not think that the
worker can be expected to go the
rounds of possible employers every
day to qualify as-an honest. searcher.
When may a worker reasonably
claim that a job offered him is unsuit-
able, insufficient, or irreconcilable
with his, and especially with~ her,
Practically no general
answers to these questions can be
found. There is now an unfortunate

Mikado Prepares ‘‘Source
Of Innocent Merriment” |”
Wigs and Make-Up Follow Sttict
Traditional Pattern »
Advance reports indicate’ that the
Glee Club’s Mikado is not ‘going to be
one of those impudent, off-hand’ op-
erettas. “The rehearsals last Thurs-
day and Saturday were ‘of unusually
fine caliber,’ stated Miss Irene
Ferrer, ’37, the head of the Glee Club,
“ordinarily, such quality comes only
in the last few days of practice be-
fore the performance itself.” Par-
ticular credit for this, she believes, is
due to Mr. Horace Alwyne, whois
giving more of his time to this year’s
operetta than ever before, and. to Mr.
Ernest Willoughby, who has trans-
posed and made reorchestrations of
the parts. of the original score, -in
order to bring it within the range of
the Glee Club’s voices.
The scenery, costumes and other
corroborative detail, intended: to give
an air of verisimilitude to the narra-
tive, are still largely a matter of
“shreds and patches.” Ann Wyld,
38, and Jean Quistgaard, ’38, are
constructing the scenery, with the ex-|
ception of one backdrop which has
been ordered from Philadelphia, and
Sophie Hemphill, ’37, is still hoping
for a brand-new set of footlights,
as the play is supposed to take place
in bright sunshine, except for one
twilight scene when Koko sings “Tit-
willow.” The costumes,, from Eaves’
of New York, will not. arrive until
Wednesday. Meanwhile, Katisha
(Helen Shepard, ’38), is rehearsing
with a long strip of unbleached mus-
lin tied around her waist to teach her
fellow-actors to avoid a future train.
The make-up, unlike the costumes,
will be in the strictest traditional
style of slanted’ eyes and elaborate
wigs. At one point” in the story,
Katisha has to seize Koko violently
by his pigtail, “and we: only hope,”
added Miss Ferrer; “that it doesn’t
come off!” Because of the make-up
schedule, which begins at five in the
afternoon, the cast’s supper will be
served in Goodhart at six o’clock on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The single male member of the cast
has not yet appeared. He is Donald
Farrow, eight years old, the son of
one of Mr. Wjlloughby’s choirmen at
the Church of the Redeemer. He will
carry Koko’s axe-for him in his first
scene. Nor has’ the Glee Club re-
hearsed with the members of the
Philadelphia Orchestra who will ac-
company them. They will come only
for the dress-rehearsal on Thursday,
the 22nd, the night before the first
performance.

Starting off Friday morning in a

technically speaking, an overgrown

members observed and. recorded and
went on to Stroudsburg for the night.
The second day they hacked their way

qua.. On Sunday all but two donned
boots, hats and miners’ lights to de-

Tom Tippett Launches
Summer School Drive |
Labor Investigator’ Advocates!
/ Course as Help in Union
Organization
WILL AFFECT ALL CLASSES
Common Room, April 15.—‘Thé
most important thing which the Bryn
Mawr Summer School has. done,’
stated Mr. Thomas Tippett, as he
launched the drive for funds to sup-
port the Summer School, “is to elabo-}|..
rate for working women what trade
unions are.” Women with the knowl-
edge. and preliminary training which
the Summer ‘School gives can better
organize the unions and at the same
time improve the status of human
beings.
Therefore, the purpose of the Sum-
mer School is to. give women the op-
portunity to analyze world conditions.
When women are engaged in works
they learn about the social situation
from first hand contact with. low
wages and factory evils, but they can
not find the time to understand these
forces sufficiently to act upon them.
This group of workers is caught in a
civilization needing improyement and
in conditions needing organization, all
of which can only be achieved by me
educated.
The curriculum, for that reason, is
directed toward the study of Amer-
ica’s economic situation. The workers
are great in number, including many
college graduates. . Economic evils
which arise have their impact on the
lives’ of the workers who are an in-
tegral part of society. Therefore,
wherever the Summer School contrib-
utes toward labor improvements, the
people of all other groups are involved.
It is the order of history that the}
lower classes rise to take over re-
sponsibility placed in the hands of
the middle class. They have already
done this through politics, since the
workers share in the vote, and in
war prevention, since it is the worker
who ean refuse to fight or manufac-
ture armaments. : 6
America is pushing forward with
economic changes. The Supreme
Court’s decision on the Wagner Labor
Act which legalizes trade unions, is
another step forward. “As we pro-
gress, we must do so with intelligence |
and wisdom,” concluded Mr. Tippet.
“There is the hope that the Bryn
Mawr Summer School girl will leave
here and contribute to the improve-
ment of her own community.”
Hampton Quartet Sing
Folk-Songs, Spirituals
John Wainwright Gives Farewell
\ Solo Before Retiring
Deanery, April 18.—The Hampton
Quartet, paradoxically appearing as
a sextet, gave their annual recital
before a large and appreciative audi-
ence. With their beloved John Wain-
wright still maintaining his post as
bass, they presented a program of
traditional negro spirituals and folk-
songs, including such favorites as
I Got a Robe, Swing Low Sweet
Chariot, Water Boy and Mighty Lak
a Rose. Particularly effective was
their: rendition of Deep River, and
Have You Got Good Religion? There
was opportunity during the recital
for the individual members of the
group to display their fine voices in
solo passages. Mr. Wainwright, in
farewell, sang Ole Black Joe to the
accompaniment of. the muted voices
of the rest of the group, and it was
evident’ from. the response he evoked,
how much he will, be missed when he
resigns thisyear. after 50 years of
association with the Hampton singers.
Not the least entertaining part of
the 5 talk given. by4;

Five College Conference
PEAections, Permissions,, Exams Are
Compared in Discussion
(Specially, contributed by Barbgga
Colbron, ’37.)
April 17.—The annual Conference
of the-five--colleges, Vassar,—Smith,
Wellesley, Mount Holyoke and Bryn
Mawr was held this year at Wellesley.
The representatives from Bryn Mawr
were Suzanne Williams, ’38, Julia
Grant, "38, and Barbara Colbron, ’37.
The purpose of this conference is to
give the officers of. the College Gov-
ernment organizations an opportu-
nity to compare and discuss their
respective activities, regulations and
problems. \
At the opening meeting on Satur-
day morning, we discussed first, at
the request of Bryn Mawr, the method
of electing College Government offi-
cers. Because of the fact that the
other colleges gre very much bigger
than Bryn Mawr, their methods are
necessarily more complicated, but on
the whole, they seem more efficient.
In most of the colleges, nominations
are ‘made by. a._ special .-nominating
tives from the college organizations
and from the four classes. The names
of the nominees are posted about a
week before elections, and some effort
is made either by special badges,
photographs, or actual presentation,
to make the candidates known to the
college, . Vassar has a special chair-
man to manage all the elections.
Whether or not a nominating com-
mittee-is necessary here is a question
open. to@discussion, but undoubtedly
we would improve our present system
if we had a chairman such as Vas-
gar’s. Our system of voting itself
seems as satisfactory as any.
The second question concerned late
permissions and overnight permis-
sions. Just as last year, we. found
that our regulations are, — lenient
than those of the other colleges. Bryn
Mawr is the only college where the
students themselves. give permission.

NEW ELECTION SYSTEM
REPORTED SUCCESSFUL
College Inn, April 15.—The eight-
een members of the College Council
met this evening at 6 o’clock for sup-
per and the regular: monthly discus-
sion. President Park exhibited the
architects’ plans for six possible loca-
tions.for the. new dormitory,-and—the
Council discussed the questions of ex-
cused cuts for delegates to intércol-—
legiate conferences and of the possi-
bility of establishing some course: in
4|debating or public speaking.
Mrs. Manning brought up the ques-
tion of excused cuts, explaining that
it had been her policy to grant them
to the delegates to the annual Self-
Government Conference and to stu-
dents whose field work for regular
courses occasionally interfered with
classes. For example, she felt. that
geology students should be given ex-
cused cuts for the annual long field
trip, and, that politics students might
be given them for such meetings as
the Model League of Nations Confer-
ence and those recommended by the
various departments. She has not in
the past given students cuts. when
they leave campus to participate in
publicity projects, such as the broad-
cast last. year for the benefit of May
Day. Miss Park said that she herself
received a great many requests each
year for delegates. to different’ col-
legiate conventions, and that the vari-
ous college clubs ‘and organizations
received so many more that it would
be impossible for the. undergraduates
to be represented at all of them.
Peace councils are especially numeroys
Jand Mrs. Manning felt it is appropri-
ate that any one.who has confidence
enough in such a movement to wish
to join it should sacrifice hér own time
in order to do so.
Lucy Kimberley, ’87, said that she

SITUATION IN SPAIN ”
WILL BE DISCUSSED
A group of faculty and students on -
the campus, interested in the success
of the Spanish government, consider
that inquiries into the facts leading up
to the” present critical situation in
Spain, which has aroused nation-wide
discussion, would. be fruitful. Conse- —
quently a series-of talks and discus-
sions about Spain has been planned
where people well acquainted with the
situation will submit their reasons for
taking the side of the government.’
One of these will be a discussion of
the MacReynolds. Neutrality Bill.
On May 6, Anna Louise Strong,
former Bryn Mawr student, author of
‘many widely read books, such as
China’s Millions and I Change Worlds,
will tell of her recent travels through
Spain.
On_ April 21 at 7.30 p. m., in the
Drawing Room of Radnor Hall, Inez
Munoz, Spanish social worker in
Philadelphia, will speak and lead a
discussion. All those interested in
gaining a. more complete .and unified
view of the situation as a whole are
invited. We urge those who are: in-
terested in both“sides of the question
to come and bring their friends.

U naccustomed as We Are—
.- At the College Council meeting Thursday night, one of the major
topies of discussion was the subject of debating or public speaking
organizations on campus. During the last few years there have been
no debating teams or any organization which would undertake to pre-
pare a debate, even in answer to various invitations received from
other colleges. Therefore, many undergraduates who have plans for
careers, such as teaching and lecturing of all kinds which involve
speaking in public and “thinking on their feet,” have missed. opportu-
nities for experience which might prove very valuable. Moreover, it
....l8 almost certain that an extracurricular debating club scheduling
several debates a year,’ would demand so much time for adequate
preparation that interest would soon drop off. There is little evidence
at present on the campus that anyone is interested in debating to the
exclusion of everything else. The obvious solution, then, if there is
a large enough group wanting the training, is that they request a‘tralf-
‘unit' course in publie speaking for credit.
In 1931 and 1932 such a course was ‘offered ernaut: the generosity
of Dr: George Woodward, father of Quita Woodward, 32; but it was
discontinued because of lack of demand. Despite this, ‘a differently
organized course might be popular if more attention were paid to
extemporaneous speaking, debating, rebuttal, and political or semi-
political topics. :
Some Rudsbaradontes have suggested that the diction course, be
reorganized to include instruction and practice in public speaking and
parliamentary procedure. The only difficulty with the plan is to find
a suitably :yersatile instructor, since training in the two fields is very].
seldom co-drdinated. Nevertheless, the Faculty Curriculum Committee
will diseuss plans for either a course for credit or one combined with.
required diction, if there is evidence that plenty. of students will want
to take it. nit

: The Liberal Point of View
In this column we are constantly faced with the diffictlty of the
liberal point of view. By this “liberal” we mean trying to approach
issues-from an unbiased stand, not liberal in its pink sense. Bryn Mawr
prides itself on the former type of liberality and we have taken over
the worship of the dogma that there are two aspects to every question.
This is a good fault, but it is a fault. It tends. toward a policy which
is no policy and a lack_of definite action for fear of acting natrow-
mindedly. :
Presenting such things as the necessity, for improvement in the
lighting system does not raise this spectre because these are things’ on
which we all agree. There is no quéstion whether or not we need
more light; everyone who has smuggled in 60 watt. bulbs or who
‘ carefully hides her double socket“each morning knows we do.
political theory and cyirfent events there are several difficulties. The
board itself is divided as to its political views so that a united policy
in polities is. impossible; but more fundamentally the liberal point of
view is our stumbling block.
another are we considering the problem from all angles? ..Are we well
enough informed to present it from any angle whatever? —
We want to adopt as strong. a policy as ‘possible and still remain
» liberal. Political opinions and ideas on standing problems which, in
- most of us, are ingrained by our past or our predjudices so as to. be
quite immovable, we will leave untouched. By discussion of such
basic problems we cannot hope to influence general opinion or produce
anything more constructive than annoyances in those who hold views
differing from ours. However, we intend to discuss and express our
opinions on new events in the political field. and more particularly
events ieneeneine academic life, in this column.

Four Howes” Chases Small Malis
With Madrigals and Quaint Instruments
The Deanery, April 18.—The “Four
Howes,” their madrigals, their vir-
ginals and their recorder, finally ar-
rived on Sunday and sang and played
to an enthusiastic_audience, consist-
ing largely of musically minded Phila-
delphians. As far as the college was
concerned, their ‘coming was probably
unexpected; glancing about us we ob-
served three undergraduates and ap-
proximately one member of the: fac-
ulty. There are doubtless many con-
sequently ‘who would be grateful for
a definition ° a virginal, a recorder
or even a madrigal.
In The Concise Oxford Dictionay
the virginal, is defined as a “square
legless spinet, used in 16th-17th cen-
turies.” Suffice it to say* that it is
not legless and not particularly
square, and sounds like a cross be-
tween a music-box and the twang of
a rubber band. The recorder is “an
obsolete instrument of the flute kind,”
_shiny and wooden, and fortunately no
longer obsolete. And the madrigal,
‘which composed four-fifths of the
Howes’ program, is a “part-song for
several voices, prop. with elaborate
contrapuntal imitation and without in-
strumental accompaniment.”
Most of the madrigals were sung
by all four Howes, which made the
range of “contrapuntal imitation”
more elaborate, and at the same time
‘more pleasing. ~ They sang sitting
down, taking the pitch fronmr”a note
which Mrs.. Howe struck on the vir-
| ginal. Their singing was delightful,
with just the right proportions of skill
and unprofessionalism. Most familiar
of all was Thomas Morley’s Now Is
the Month of Maying, recalling the
dry heat of May Day = flying Eliza-
bethan. feet.
Next Mrs. Howe and Calderon
played a sonata, specially. composed
by Handel for the virginal and
recorder. The virginal and _ the
recorder have nothing of the purity
of tone of their modern grandchil-
dren, the piano and flute. It is their
peculiarly vibratory character and
abi ae of volume that brings
one back to thé ‘ethnpldity of the Ox-
ford Dictionary’s “obsolete” past.
Calderon also played several short
pieces on the virginal, pointing out
the bass notes beforehand, slightly
reminiscent of the bagpipes, and show-
ing what an extraordinary range the
virginal has in spite of its limita-
tions.
What distinguished the Howes from
professional singers was the. perfectly
unféigned pleasure they. seemed to get
from their actual performance. On
the back of the program Mrs. Howe
says that it “is of such pleasure to
the performers they cannot but hope
the auditors catch some of it.” The
audience hoped that the performers
would catch some of its pleasure—a
cheerfully vicious circle.
