She described her life as war correspondent attached to the 12th American Air Force during Miss Bourke- White is the outstanding woman photographer of the present time and her work is published in Life magazine. Recounting her spectacular ad- ventures, she began with the early difficulties of defining her Army status, and reached the dramatic climax of a flight in a combat mis- sion over ‘Tunisia. Miss Bourke- White left for England in July, 1942, and took many photographs of Air Force routine and action there. She told of the first formal christening of a bomber, and her shots of the first American combat mission of Flying Fortresses.

Mr. Miller, Miss Linn, Mrs. Cameron, Miss Rob- bins, and Miss Stapleton will con- duct the lectures, which will begin on Monday, April 26. Mr. Miller will. lead the first meeting with a discussion of. the ownership and politics of the lead- ing newspapers and news agencies. The second demonstration will be given by Miss Linn on reading eco- nomic news. Mrs. Cameron will explain the characteristics and relative merits of various news periodicals in the third lecture. The last of the series will be a joint demonstration by Miss Rob- bins and Miss Stapleton on how to read a newspaper. The audience will be limited to twenty-four people: Seniors who are interested will register for the course next week through the War Alliance. One lecture will be given each day from 5:30 until 6:15, begin- ning on Monday, April 26. Iswolsky to Discuss USSR and Catholicism Miss Helen Iswolsky will speak on “The Soul of Russia Today” in the Common Room next Sun-. day afternoon at 4:30 for the Catholic Club. She is a _ free- lance journalist and an author, and has written two books: “The Soviet Man Now” and “Light Be- fore Dusk.” The daughter of the late Alexander Iswolsky, the for- “mer Russian Minister of Foreign "Affairs and the Russian Ambassa- dor to France, she is well qualified to speak on conditions in Russia. Miss Iswolsky lived in Paris and worked with Jacques Maritain, the famous philosopher. She is now ‘eonnected with the Tolstoy Foun- dation in the United States. b David Mallery’s Performance Exceptional in Convincing Production of Saroyan Play By April Oursler, ’45 The Beautiful People, by Wil- liam Saroyan, was written to be enjoyed, and the Haverford-Bryn Mawr production did it full justice in an understanding and well- expressed interpretation, carried along mainly by the exceptionally well-finished portrayal of young Owen Webster by David Mallery. Under the judicious direction of Anne Denny, the cast avoided the obvious pitfalls of mawkishness, over-rhetorical seriousness and pure slapstick that beset all Saroyan plays, achieving a con- vincing atmosphere of naturalness and simplicity. : David Mallery, playing the part of the fifteen-year-old monosyllabic writer, struck the keynote of the evening, with a sense of humor and earnestness that characterized the whole production. Eleanor Borden, as Saint Agnes of the Mice, was well cast as far as her contrast to Owen Webster went, for they both played up each other’s main points, balancing the mood:of the play well. Agnes was, however, a little too saint-like, and took herself too seriously for a Saroyan character. Henry Funk, as William Prim, played to perfection the part of the ineffectual bank vice-president fainting over a mouse in his clothes, and Edward Irving gave the role of Dan Hillboy the proper mixture of conviviality and pathos, in spite of the slightly unconvinc- ing drunken scene. The other parts, taken individu- ally, were not particularly well- done, even though, altogether, they made a more than adequate back- ground for the two main charac- ters. Judy Novick managed to give her part as - Harmony Blue- blossom the right touch of humor to prevent the old lady’s golden memories from becoming too senti- mental, but there was an almost monotonous lack of variety in her acting, which may have arisen from the difficulties before any young person’s interpretation of an older one. Although James Haden did not have the bombastic and Seven Colleges Meet To Discuss Wartime Activity Curtailment Specially contributed by Patricia St. Lawrence, °44, and Katharine Tappen, ’44 The main point of discussion be- fore the Seven-College Conference this year was the question of stu- dent activities in war time. Bar- nard, the host college; Connecticut, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, Wellesley, and Bryn Mawr participated ina discussion of the particular manner in which cam- puses had met the challenge of war problems. This centered primarily in the question of how much power the chief undergraduate associations had in determining student activ- ity and policy. Bryn Mawr, with its autonomous Alliance, differs greatly from the other colleges, all of whose student associations are chartered, organized, and con- trolled by a central college council. Thus, many of the problems of legislative power, conflicts of au- thority, and policy formation did not concern Bryn Mawr. In the course of the discussion each college presented its plan and policy for. war activity. These plans differed greatly in the degree of curtailment and control of stu- dent activity, varying from that of Continued on Page Fiveeghy pompous qualities of the father as Saroyan wrote him, he handled the role with the necessary giving a rather subdyfeéd air to his end of the play./ J. Bronson , Logan’s cornet-playing ability put | a fine finishing touch on the per-' formance. | Taken as a whole, it was ex- | 'traordinarily well done in spite of | inadequacies in many of _ the’ actors. The staging and lighting contributed greatly in their sim-| plicity, and the whole tone of the | evening was one of sympathy and | understanding for the real inten- | tion of the play. The cast did not make the mistake the audience seemed to make, for they were not | afraid to laugh at what was ree | puted to be a serious modern play. It was not a well-finished perform- ance, but with an almost profes- sional sense of interpretation the Cap and Bells and the Varsity Players have succeeded in a pro- duction above the usual standard of college plays both in aim and achievement. Miss Bourke-W hite Answers Questions About Soviet Union “What about Russia?” was the question uppermost in the minds of everyone who adjourned to the Common Room after Margaret Bourke-White’s lecture on her ex- periences as a war correspondent. In her four trips to the Soviet Union she saw the growth of the country’s power. She spoke first of the strong impression Stalin made on her. After séeing im- mense pictures and statues she was surprised to find a small, pock- marked man who “seemed to be made of stone.” He is silent and self-contained, a “leader who really | does decide policies.” Only once did his stern face change when he burst out laughing as she crawled around on the floor with her flash- bulbs. In her last trip to the U.S. S. R. as the only foreign photographer allowed in the country, she had to get special permission for every picture, but found the authorities very reasonable. As a correspon- dent she prefers definite censor- ship, rather than running the risk of letting out vital war secrets. In her trip to Russia in 1930 to make industrial photographs she was al- lowed considerable freedom, but could not investigate any military preparations. Yet she felt then that the Red Army was strong and the people united behind the “ ernment. Margaret Bourke-White has great faith in the future of Rus- sia. After the war they will only want to regain certain territories and then go back to building their country. They admire the United States and in many ways model Continued on Page Five 2 Marriages Natalie Bell, ’43, to Avia- tion Cadet Samuel Houston Brown. Irma Pines, ‘44, to Arthur Brisher.

Auden, Mrs. George Vaux, Jr., Mr. Leon Edel, and Mr. Donald Brien. Mr. Auden will read his own poem, “At the Grave of Henry James.” He is a noted contem- porary poet and is now a professor of English at Swarthmore. Mrs. George Vaux, Jr., warden of Péiii- broke West, is a niece of Henry James and will relate her mem- ories of him. Mr. Leon Edel, critic and scholar, will speak on some aspect of Henry James’ work, and Mr. Donald Brien, a collector of Henry James, will tell of his ex- periences. Henry James is the author of “The Portrait of a Lady,” “The Ambassadors,” and “The Turn. of the Screw.” He received most of his education in Europe and, after | a brief time at Harvard Law School, embarked on a literary career. In his later life, he lived in England and finally renounced his American citizenship to be- come a British subject. Harris Diseusses : Prospects of U. S, Russian Relations Allied Invasion of Europe Will Eliminate Several Problems | Goodhart, April 7.—Mr. Thomas L. Harris,. National Secretary of the American Council for Soviet Relations, asserted that an inva- sion of Europe by the United | States and Great Britain would be more effective than any other sin- gle action in cementing relations | between the U.S.S.R. and the United States. Speaking to the third of the college War Assem- blies, Mr. .Thomas said that we must realize that the “causes of friction” between the Soviet Union and the United States are “mutual difficulties,’ which can best be overcome by “actual collabora- tion.” The chief cause for friction, he ticipation. While the main ques- tion in this country is “why the Soviet Union is not at war with Japan,” the Russian people ‘‘can- not understand why we have no second front.in Europe and why we don’t. declare war on Finland.” Both countries must realize, he continued, that “the war is not a matter of complete participation for any one of the three United Nations.”:.....““Boubts and suspicions will be” enormously reduced whe American troops go to Europe,” because now the Red Army is bear- ing eighty per cent of the burden of war. They feel that they “are isolated and that they are bearing the war alone,’ while we’ have a great sense of guilt. Another cause for mutual dis- trust, he added, is the question of boundaries. There is no reason to ittach any particular sanctity to boundaries existing in 1939. Be- fore the first World War the Baltic countries and part of Poland be- longed to Russia. In the matter of the governments of the liberated Continued on Page Five Reprint From ‘Stack,’ North African Policy Debate Give Welcome Variety to ‘Lantern’ Specially contributed by Lenore O’Boyle, ’43 _ The new Lantern, despite some poor short stories, does include features of exceptional Reprinting articles from the Hav- erford Stack should be continued as long as what islghosen is as good as this selection, and debates on current problems should cer- tainly be encouraged. The Lan- tern has frequently seemed little more than a collection of poems and stories contributed by a never changing group. Discussions like this on our North African policy would at once bring in new con- tributors and prove a welcome variety, conceivably improving the mental habits of the Bryn Mawr student body so admirably criti- interest. The debate in this issue is on the State Department’s policy in North Africa, the adverse criticism by Jessie Stone, ’44, the defense by Madge Daly, ’42. Readers will dis- agree on which side is more con- vincing, but both articles are ex- ceptionally interesting and well written. Jessie Stone’s arguments will be familiar to readers of the liberal press—that the Vichy re-| gime which we are supporting in North Africa is undeniably anti- democratic, and as a result is de- stroying United Nations’ unity and undermining confidence among the oppressed peoples of Europe. Madge Daly points out the tremendous military ~advan- tages of the present policy, the promise of the United States to allow France to choose her own government after the war, and the necessity of working harder to free the subjected nations than to en- courage them, arguments which to many will seem more realistic and sensible, and the validity of which seems to be supported by recent events. : Helena Hersey’s The Scooter Bike is disappointing. Individual relations are never clarified, and the story as a result loses point. Mariam Kreiselman’s For Prom- ised Joy is slick and unconvincing, employing a totally inadequate trick plotting device to support a situation with genuine emotional implications. For Promised Joy shows up badly when contrasted with G. F. Morse’s The Enemy, in — which the simplest of plots is used only to further the emotion, rather than distracting from it. Mr. Morse’s story is far from perfect, but it does have an impact that the more pretentious story does not begin to achieve.

This is a question which is of pertinent interest to us at the moment, as there is some doubt concerning the existence of the Lantern next year. The lack of support by contributors and subscribers may make its continued publication impossible. If the magazine is ‘abandoned, the students will be left with no organ for the expression of their imaginative and creative thought. Apparently the students do not consider the Lantern to have | great value for them. They do not take the trouble to read it, nor do they take the trouble to contribute to it. Readers criticize the Lantern for a style.that is too stereotyped and a range of interest that is too narrow. The editors have answered these criticisms by enlivening and varying the material, thus showing that the Lantern has not become static in its form. Neither the students nor the faculty realize how valuable the Lantern is. It not only reflects contemporary trends, but it also stimulates critical thinking. The writer, too, is able to evaluate his own works through the criticism of others. The prevalent attitude toward the Lantern is not sufficiently experimental. Students should contribute their work whether they feel it is in the “accepted” style of the Lantern or not. Readers should take an interest in what. their fellow-students are thinking. In order to maintain what is in itself a very valuable institution, the adoption of this attitude is necessary. The Study of History Coinciding with the nation-wide celebration of Thomas Jeffer- son’s bi-centennial anniversary comes the revelation of the insufh- cient knowledge. of American history by college freshmen. The results of the Times survey have provoked widespread discussion and even the initiation of legislation to remedy the obvious failure of our educational institutions in this field. We will confine our comment to one phase of the controversy. Whatever the defects ofthe examination were, the results were so appalling that there is no doubt that Americans need to know more about their country’s past than they do now. The examination has been criticized, and we think justly so, for its emphasis on the recollection of dates and facts in isolation. This was no accident, for the day the-results were published there was also printed an article of comment by one of the two authors of the survey, Mr. Hugh Russell Fraser, who is an official of the United States Office of Education. Mr, Fraser blamed the results on recent trends in the methodology of history teaching. Speaking of teachers who have adopted this new methodology, Mr. Fraser wrote: “The pit- falls they have stumbled into has been due to a failure to recognize that the structure of history does not lend itself to the technique of social studies. . . . History, which is essentially the recording of events, requires, in its elementary stages, a chronological time-se- quence approach. . . .” Mr. Fraser obviously used his “chrono- ' logical time-sequence approach” in drawing up the examination. We beg to differ with Mr. Fraser’s ideas on studying history. Why, it may be asked, should we study history? We believe that the study of history has first and foremost a utilitarian value, and secondly an inspirational value which also can be useful. In order to grapple better with present and future problems we must learn their origins, and thus be equipped to strike at their causes. The phrase, “history repeats itself,” has been loosely used. Neverthe- less, few students of history will deny that within carefully defined limits certain historical parallels.can be drawn. The ability to recog- nize the recurrence of certain situations is a valuable tool for the 4) \ | WAR ALLIANCE The Second War Loan Drive has begun this week in an effort’ to raise thirteen billion dollars. The money is to be solicited over and above the normal monthly bond purchases. During the next three weeks an effort will be made to contact all members of the college community, and to give informa- tion concerning the various types of bonds and the Government’s use of the money raised. Individuals will be able to sub- scribe for the bonds on campus or through their own banks. The student drive will be sponsored by the War Alliance through the Al- liance representatives in each hall. Additional subscription made in the April collection will also be credited to this campaign. Clothes Drive The Russian War Relief Society has sent out an‘urgent plea for clothing to be sent directly to the fighting and home fronts in Rus- sia. As warm weather comes to the campus, the intense cold is still setting the Russian armies back. The troops do not have adequate clothes to protect them on the march, nor do the families who have given up spare clothing and blankets for the cause. There is a collection box in every hall for any old clothes that stu- dents wish to donate to the Rus- sian War Relief. Give what you feel will be useful—scarfs, mit- tens, red-flannels, sweaters, ski- boots. They must be in reasonably wearable condition. al CITY LIGHTS By Jessie Stone, ’44 For many weeks now the New York papers, including the “staid” Times, have been indulging in a form of journalism commonly called “yellow.” They have noted a rise in the petty crime afid juve- nile delinquency rates in Harlem.

Stern To the Editor of the News: From both my own and other undergraduates’ experience, I think the Dean’s Office should not allow students to take Physics freshman year unless they are tak- ing First Year Mathematics simul- taneously. In fact, it would be preferable to have First Year Mathematics an absolute prerequi- site for First Year Physics. I suggest this because the con- tent of the First Year Physics course is not sufficiently compre- hensible without at least a knowl- edge of differential calculus and college mathematical methods. The only alternative to this proposal would be a simplification of the work which would reduce the pres- ent excellent course to the level of high school physics. If this rule were instituted, it would eliminate both failures and nervous strain for most students who take the course. It is a hard course, but it is well worth getting the proper background for it in order to get the full benefit of it. People who raise the objection that they want the physics but not the mathematics, have found that they get very little physics. Since serious students of physics will need the mathematics anyway, it will merely change the order in which they take their courses into a more logical form.

It openly approves of Jim-Crow practices. I am referring, in particular, to a news story in the Philadelphia Record on March 20 by Orrin C. Evans. Mr. Evans is a Negro, who belongs to that ideological group aptly called “Uncle Toms.” They have their counterparts among other oppressed minorities and their basic function is to hin- der the fight for equal rights by urging. submission to injustice. Mr. Evans’ story was about the organization of “a squad of 25 carefully selected Negro plain- clothesmen” whose job would be to “concentrate on smashing Negro muggers.” Herbert E. Millen is another “Uncle Tom.” He was appointed Assistant Director of Public Safe- ty in order to‘combat this alleged “crime wave” among members of his own race. Evans in his article says of him: “Millen has been conscious for some time of increasing racial sought admission. Because of an unwritten police law which frowns on mixing of races in such places of amusement, they were barred. A resentful youth hurled a bottle’ through a window. Before further damage could be done, police dis- persed’ the crowd. “This unwritten law, incidental- ly, governs the policy of similar establishments conducted for Ne- groes in Negro sections.” This unwritten law is something new. I have heard of “implied powers” and the “unwritten Con- stitution.” But these phrases are used to denote certain practices on which the law is silent and whose existence rests on tradition. But never has this terminology been applied to practices which directly contradict the statutes on the books. This “unwritten police law’ is first of all. a direct contradiction of the Bill of Rights. It contra- dicts a law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania which states that it is illegal for any place of amuse- Continued on Page Five solution of present problems. No better example of the inspirational value of the study of history is needed than the way it is successfully used to build morale in time of great national crisis. Interest in our democratic tradi- tions, in the timeless writings of Jefferson, Paine, and Lincoln should not depend on the occurrence of an anniversary oF a crisis, but should be kindled in the history class-room. History taught in the “chronological time-sequence. method” will be neither useful nor inspirational, except by accident ; nor will it be easily retained if unrelated to familiar notions, events or strug- gles. We do not doubt that a partial cause of the bad showing made by those who took the test was the character Mr. Fraser gave it and | , Camenk Coents Common Room, April 13.—In her lecture on Congress, with Par- ticular Reference to the Interna-— tional Situation, Miss Stapleton stated that the mobilization of pub- lie sentiment and a declaration by the Senate endorsing an interna- tional organization must be the decisive actions in 1943. . She ex- bites: the belief that such a declaration would be good political strategy and that “it will release a great amount of energy and con- fidence in Europe and the Far East.” By quoting actual figures on the. recent elections, Miss Stapleton showed that the Democrats had lost seats in Congress. Although both parties lost votes in this elec- tion that had one of the smallest number of voters in recent times, the Democrats lost a great many more than the Republicans. One of the factors in this change was the migration of workers. A great many people who moved for war employment lost their vote because they had not resided in the com- munity for the required amount of time. Another mechanical cause for this decrease in votes was due to the number of men who were away in the armed services. “The whole trouble,’ she said, “is that Congress does represent the people.” It has too many sec- ond rate men who, although most of them are honest and are truly concerned in the welfare of the country at heart, do not have any great ability. Really able people, Miss Stapleton asserted, often will not run for Congress. The word politician . itself -is considered —a slanderous term. There is, then, the problem of getting good peo- ple to run for Congress and of “raising the money necessary to beat the political machines.” There is also the question of arousing voters to take a real in- terest in the elections. There are people who are willing to reelect. a man with an opposite point of view. from theirs simply because — they think “he is a good fellow.” Such people, she said, haven’t really thought what—it—means—to Continued on Page Six ie ae —- eo . wits END. é At first wlanes nothing seems the same. - There is no grass on Senior Row and ivy grows untir- ing.

There is a definite group which considers the picture wholly accurate, un- biased, and very flattering. At the other extreme stand those who maintain that the article was poor- ly written, insipid, and inconse- quential, that it proved no point conclusively and _ presented no worthwhile view, that it lacked interest or was downright boring. The latter are in the majority, but it is possible to find almost any- thing in the way of. opinion from | someone on campus, A rather large proportion ad-| mitted they found the article dis- appointing because “it didn’t touch us at all—it was only the admin- istrative point-of-view.” . The un- dergraduates really hoped to hear about themselves, one said, and they “object to being written up as an industry.” Others felt that the write-up skimmed the surface of Bryn Mawr without being in- accurate, but without really touch- ing thé essential aspects of it. It is perhaps to be expected that the students would be hyper-critical about a thing so close to them and presented to the world by people outside the college; nevertheless, it seems to be a fairly general criti- cism that it was not Bryn Mawr which was depicted, but some re- mote opinion on Modern Education in War Time. ; Miss’ McBride. pointed out that this was, after all, the purpose of the article as far as Fortune Magazine was concerned; that they set out to portray the impact of the: war on a woman’s college— one maintaining liberal traditions and one which had not violently converted to war purposes. They had their’ minds made up as to what point of view they wanted, and although, beyond that, they were unbiased, they were really collecting information on Bryn Mawr only in relation to the war. They were not attempting to give a picture of the college itself, its purposes, activities and interests of the students, as they had in an earlier article in 1936. Thus al- though it isn’t all of Bryn Mawr. by any means, and although it 4 dent found it sufficient for what it was meant to be. One of the most frequent criti- cisms was that of the style of writing, which a great many found unbearably flowery, trite and over- done—the “torch-carrying” aspect annoyed quite a few. Several peo- ple resented the remarks about Miss Park. Mrs. Vaux, of the Publicity Office, emphasized that that particular style is typical of the magazine, a definite policy and flavor which pervades all their fea- tures of this sort. Exemplifying the different an- | gles shown in the opinion were the following classifications: it was too flattering; it was biased against Bryn Mawr; it was the truth and not very flattering, but wholly un- biased. opposing ideas that it showed us as not doing enough in the war, and that it makes us appear to be | doing more than we are. Against {those that think it captured the | spirit of the college are those that feel it doesn’t capture the spirit. Perhaps the most obvious conclu- sion is that we aren’t too sure of whagé the spirit of it is! It seems that all hoped for some- thing slightly different, however, and probably those who were pleas- antly surprised liked it, but a great- er number were disappointed, and | te a great deal was lacking in the article.

IN PRINT Saroyan’s Love for Humanity, Sympathy, Humor in “Human Comedy” ‘ Specially contributed by Ellen Harriman, ’46 William Saroyan must be the only man in the world who, with- out feeling like a sissie, can insist that people are beautiful. Born well before the first World War, this American-Armenian has grown up in one of the most un- settled and disillusioning eras of his adopted country. Where other people pinned their faith on Wall Street, Coca Cola, or the League of Nations, Saroyan has consist- ently believed in people. The Human Comedy takes one small, dumb-looking, freckle-faced boy, one teen-age Western Union messenger, one plumpish widow, and one drunk, and weaves a tale that we feel we have read before. The long, silent moments of a child’s life, the baffled wisdom of middle-aged men, the details of a home, a town, a long’ walk—we recognize these things. And told in Saroyan’s good if somewhat bumpy style, they make a satisfy- ing book. : If you have read any of Saro- yan’s work, his short stories, or The Beautiful People — (Bryn Mawr-Haverford Spring play), you will recognize in this new book his tendency to render attractive the most improbable characters.

Electricity, plumbing, heating—all are open books after a detailed five-lecture course, including three- dimensional diagrams of all their points. Mr. Mathews, lecturing on the structure and care of coal and oil furnaces, illustrated his talk with a carefully prepared cardboard model of a typical furnace, spe- cially constructed for the occasion. In a later class, when explaining the intricacies of plumbing, he handed out mimeographed copies of the lecture, and gave the class genuine practice in repairing the washers and basins of the college. An actual doorbell system and a collection of irons and small stoves in various stages of disrepair were used in Mr. Dougherty’s lecture on electricity, currents and the repair of electrical appliances. Mr. Dougherty also demonstrated the method of welding, along with a rapid explanation of the _ inner workings of fuses.

Microfilm Reading Machine in West Wing Shows That Library is Truly Modern in Spirit By April Oursler, ’45 Ponderous, lengthy, musty shelves of The New York Times stretch along the south basement of the library, symbols of an age gone by. The modern. era has moved into the West Wing—micro- \film has come to stay. Fifteen |months of the Times stored in one ‘foot of shelf space, compact and permanent, safe from the deteri- oration of age and use. As one of the library staff put it, it could be called a more lasting and smaller version of the old Hebrew scrolls. The real root of all this lies in a large brown machine installed in solitary glory in, the West, Wing basement — the Recordak — or, more formally speaking, the Li- brary Microfilm Reading Machine. The Recordak made its debut in the college in September, 1941, but because of a limited amount of mi- crofilm material it has remained unknown to the large majority of the student body. It is only now, as more references to recent issues of the Times are demanded, that the machine is coming into its own. Thé microfilm itseif, the same that the government uses for V- mail, is about the size of/an ordi- nary candid camera roll, wound on spools resembling those of a movie projector. Each page is thrown on a large ground glass plate placed at focussing level for a per- son seated in front of the machine. The film can be run, and the pages turned in any direction and at any speed by a simple system of han- dles. The main importance of the ma- chine lies in the field of research— no longer must bedevilled scholars tear off to far-away libraries to see and study the editions and manuscripts necessary for their work. Once located, any book or manuscript, no matter how old, can be copied onto microfilm for a cost of less than a cent and a half a page. All the large libraries in this country, and a few in Europe are provided with the necessary photographing machines, and. ac- cording to a recent listing more than 5,221 books, manuscripts and scrolls have been made available to Recordak owners. Our college library is rapidly adding to its own collection, con- sisting now of many Spanish books, a few German and French texts, and many original Latin scripts from the Vatican vaults. Students may have full use of both these and the Times films by consulting the librarian in charge. Many of the professors have al- ready requested films of certain books for their classes, and it is probable that the Recordak will soon be an important part of the classics’ reserves.

SMOKERS Wrat THEY WANT & Se THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Five Smith, Tabor Prcanit Hudson Labor School ‘Program for Summer President McBride and_ the Philadelphia Committee for the Hudson Shore Labor School invite undergraduates to a tea in the Deanery on Thursday, April 22, at 4:30. Miss Hilda Smith, one-time dean of Bryn Mawr, former direc- tor of the Hudson Labor School, and present chief of the federal worker’s education program, will speak. Mrs. Tabor, Bryn Mawr, 39, and new director of the school, will be present to discuss ways in which Bryn Mawr students can fit into the new summer plan. Owing to defense jobs that make it impossible for industrial work- ers to take a five-week vacation this summer, the program consists of three units. Two of these are for two weeks each, the other for one. The courses are to concen- trate on war and post-war prob- lems as they affect the workers and citizens in the community. The emphasis will fall on the Four Freedoms. The first two weeks will: deal with “Freedon: from Want.” The workers will study the social security program as presented by the National Plan Board and as- pects of the productive system. The second one-week unit is de- signed especially for young women with :children who are going into war industry. The particular problem is that of working women as consumers. The course deals with rationing, price control, and methods of family care. The final two-week unit, “Freedom from Fear,” handles the subject of civil Understanding Spain Stressed by Nepper Continued from Page Four communism and as a war to save Christianity. The Allied world has accepted these aspects as the only ones and has closed its mind to further discussion. Today appeasement with Spain is the basic problem. Miss Nepper believes that, if we decide on ap- peasement, we should accept it be- cause of military necessity, not with the intention of separating the Spanish people from “the lov- ing arms of the Axis.” The importance of Spain to the Hall Presidents The following have been elected Hall Presidents for the year 1943-1944: Rhoads, Anne Heyniger.

The purpose of the Hudson Shore Labor School as expressed by the late President ‘Thomas is “better to acquaint young indus- trial workers with their responsi- bilities and problems, both as workers and as citizens in their community.” Founded as_ the Bryn Mawr Summer School for Industrial Workers in 1921, it functioned at the college until 1939. In that year it moved to West Park, N. Y., as the Hudson Shore Summer School. The Hudson Shore Labor School is for girls 18 to 35 who work in factories. Every summer six or seven girls are chosen from dif- ferent Eastern colleges for posi- tions as undergraduate assistants. Russo-U. S. Relations Predicted by Harris Continued from Page One countries after the war, there is another cause for friction. ‘“‘We assume that Poland shall have the kind of government the people wish” but we also realize that the “neople’s freedom of choice de- pends on who feeds them.” They will vote for the government that first sends them food. Finally, there is the difference in the ideolo- gies of the two countries. But, Mr. Harris pointed out, we have often cooperated in the past with countries whose political ideologies differed from ours. Dr. Harris, who was born in England and educated at Cam- bridge, also stressed the special interests we have in common with the Soviet Union. Both countries have great advantages to be * Seven Colleges Meet To Discuss Curtailment Continued from Page One colleges such as Barnard to that of Smith and Bryn Mawr. At the beginning of this year the Barnard War Activities Board announced that all student activi- ties should be directed toward the winning of the war and the peace. This involved abolition of all de- caying organizations and curtail- ment by the student councils ‘of lavish expenditures for social func- tions: In addition, each club was asked to turn all its efforts to one main activity, preferably connected with the war. Throughout, empha- sis was placed on curtailment and coordination which is made possible because of the power of the central council and the lack of class or club autonomy. At Wellesley, as at Barnard, each organization was asked to concentrate on only one activity and the main efforts of the college were focused on a weekly war as- sembly. Elaborate social functions were removed here also and each girl was asked to contribute at least two hours a week to some form of war work, either in con- nection with war jobs or war courses. The student response to this has shown remarkable spirit and .energy and this interest is re- | flect-d in their active participation in a political forum. Radcliffe, Vassar, and Connecti- cut also reported that their at- tempts to divert interest from purely collegiate activities to ones more directly connected with the In contrast to this, Smith and Bryn Mawr have made comparatively few attempts to curtail, coordinate, or redirect college activities. In- stead, war courses and war organi- zations have been superimposed without any organic connection with existing activities. Academically, also, the colleges have been adapted to the times. Smith and Barnard have instituted so-called war minors; courses for those who have classical majors not directly connected with the war. Various colleges have- interdepart- mental majors and war majors comparable to those at Bryn Mawr. Mount Holyoke has developed a system of job classification in co- operation with the faculty voca- tional committee. The second part of the Confer- war had met with little opposition. | Elections The Self-Government As- sociation announces the elec- tion of the following stu- dents tothe Board:-.Mary Ellis as Senior Member, Alison Merrill and » Mary Jean Hayes as Junior Mem- bers. ence was conceragd with problems of student government, particular- ly in connection with the honor system, library regulations, and dormitory rules. Since each col- lege has a system which seems comparable in approach with that of Bryn Mawr, the main topic of the afternoon was a discussion of the value of membership in outside student organizations, primarily the N.S. F. A. and U.S. S. A. It was generally felt that the N. S. F. A. was more valuable to large universities and that the Seven- College Conference served the pur- pose of mutual discussion of com- mon problems in amore efficient manner than that body. There was a discussion of mem- bership in the newly-formed U. S. S. A. In view of the fact that it is a new organization whose policy is as yet nebulous, the general opinion was that each college should consider the question of membership independently before and after the first assembly of the U. S. S. A., which is meeting to ! determine its policy. -Atlantie Charter. CITY LIGHTS Continued from Page Two ment to discriminate against peo- ple..for reasons of color or race.

Even the most reactionary com- mentators agree that without the Soviet Union victory over the Axis is a remote and distant possibil- ity.” Some people will agree that it is “all right to meet together in war. But after the war, the argu- ment runs that we must separate and prepare for a third war. In- telligent people realize that this is not an impossibility.” If things are allowed to drift, the conse- quences may over-ride “the cooper- ation essential for victory and permanent peace.” The best means to prevent such a thing is for the people of the two countries to ap- preciate and understand the prob- lems faced by the other.
