—— nnn THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three Miss Fry Discusses Social Security Plan In Beveridge Report Deanery, February 5. — “The great interest of the Beveridge Re- port is that it takes in all Social Security legislation, combining it into one coherent, logical whole,” said Miss Margery Fry, formerly ! 4 | principal of Somerville College, | Oxford, and one time chairman of | the London Juvenile Court and | Government Representative of the | International Penal and Peniten- | tiary Commission. “It is only a) scheme so far and is going to have | a tough passage until it becomes a law. This report is a sign to the} world that England is not on its | death bed. People are becoming | conscious of their democracy.” Thé main arguments against the Beveridge Report, said Miss Fry, | are that the English will become | a race of degenerates, since the! plan “will ‘sap their independ- ence”; and that thrift will be a thing of the past. Disproving these arguments, Miss Fry pointed out that unemployment itself and not Social Insurance produces de- generacy. “America is more clever- in its Social Security policies than England,” she continued. “You have gained national wealth from the activity of those who were formerly unemployed, through WPA and other such work pro- grams, while England has merely kept her unemployed alive.” Us-! ing statistics, Miss Fry showed that people save more when they have social security than when Continued on Page Four ~ Students Urge Move For Mixed Army Unit A group of interested students met on Monday night to form a committee for the creation of a mixed army unit of Negroes and white men on a voluntary basis. There were representatives from Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania Uni- versity, ‘Temple University, Lin- coln- University and Swarthmore. They formed the Committee for a Mixed Army Unit. Dr. Barrows Dunham, professor of philosophy at Temple, started the discussion by summing up the reasons for such a proposal. He said that it would be a step for- ward for the freedom for which we are fighting if the segregation of Negro and white soldiers was abolished. Such segregation causes disunity and hinders the war ef- fort. A mixed army unit, like the Liberty ship, the Booker T. Wash- ington, would stand as a symbol for all those who believe in the essential equality of man. An open discussion followed in which the work of the committee | was outlined. The committee elected James L. | Morgan, of Lincoln University, as temporary chairman, and Ruth Segal, of Bryn Mawr, as tempor- ary secretary. Four sub-commit- tees were formed and a petition to the President is being written. The representatives from Bryn Mawr were Elizabeth Nicrosi, Ruth Segal and Boots Szold. Haverford, Pa.

Mr. Watson stressed the great need for maps as a result of the use of technology in war and enumerated the map-making agen- cies which are sending out con- stant calls for trained women.

Much can be said about its style, but the fact is that it is late 19th century Gothic, about 1870-1880; often known.as_ the false-Gothic or “What, no _ gar- goyle” period. Taylor Tower has been the sub- ject of much thinking since the crowning weather-vane was firmly established. In the~early ’30s it appears that there were plans to rebuild it. This bit of work would have been destructive, since it would have reduced the tower to the height of other towers and re- moved its large copper pyramid. It would have been redesigned to resemble Pembroke, . . . surely a brilliant idea. Of course Rhoads had not yet been built.

The program is also in force at Michigan and at Penn- sylvania, where the study concen- trates on African languages. The headquarters of the Council are in Washington. Prominent among its publications are those on mediaeval culture. Dr. E. A. Lowe’s publication of mediaeval Latin manuscripts is an example of projects which the Council has subsidized. Miss Taylor feels that its most important work is in the advanced study of languages. The a program at Bryn Mawr, however, is unlikely. It can be’ seen far away in the daytime, not building Taylor itself, but as the architectural prints have not yet been found we can’t elucidate them. The mere mention of a con- . necting link between Dalton and Taylor can convey the scale of this redesigning. But this appeared to be another case where the thought and not the action was exaNing, for Taylor Tower was never altered. Lack of funds was the prime cause; but as Miss Woodworth said, Some day it may be respected agi a wedi gt record of a bad period. Miss McBride States Full Use of Facilities Continued from Page One student’s mind is most fully de- veloped when working in its own particular field. The military services as well as war industries demand graduates, but Miss McBride stressed that a student should only | leave her training to get a job if-it-is an essential one which can be better filled’ by her than by anyone else. Otherwise she should aim to finish her training as rapidly as possible. Miss McBride said that outside time should be used as war time, either in volunteer or apprentice jobs. “The College must be flexible,” said Miss McBride. She mentioned the innovation of special courses as war measures, and the plans for more extensive programs for regional studies. Also she noted programs to combine work in lan- guages and social sciences. “On the other hand,” Miss McBride said, “the College must formulate its purposes and hold to them. de- spite temporary shifts.” n MEET AT THE GREEK’S Tasty Sandwiches Refreshments Lunches - Dinner “OUT THERE WE'D GIVE A BUCK FOR A COKE” “THEY'RE STILL A NICKEL HERE” “There must be something special about a 5¢ soft drink, when men overseas write home or bring back tales about it.
