The College VOL. XLVIII, NO. 3 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1951 Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1951 PRICE 20 CENTS Educators Ask Women to Aid Defense Work Miss McBride Attends Service Meeting In New York ‘Especially contributed by Alice Mitchell, ’52 Gathering a thousand people to- gether in a hotel ballroom to draw up a pattern of action for half the nation for the next ten years is an audacious undertaking. The Amer- ican Council on Education’s con- ference on Women in the Defense Decade, held in New York on Sep- tember 27 and 28, set out to con- sider all aspects of woman’s role in the 1950’s. No such conference had ever been held before and an attack on the problem in its en- tirety was, some thought, long overdue. “Since we acknowledge nationally that we have entered what is called a period of defense”’, said one of the delegates, “it is high time that the duties and re- sponsibilities of women be defined for that period, and that they be explained and let women get on with the jobs”. If the task before the conference was staggering, the delegates were at least-as able a group as could! have been found to tackle it. Miss McBride, Mrs. Cox, Miss Biba and I, representing ‘Bryn Mawr, found ourselves among labor leaders, business women, engineers, church leaders, women politicians and ed- itors as well as college presidents, deans of women and «xollege stu- dents, interspersed with a sprink- Continued on Page 5, Col. 2 Newly-Launched Friends Give Aid To BMC Library “Libraries are not made; they grow”, said Augustine Birrel, and the newly-launched Friends of the Bryn Mawr College Library have taken this as their motto. The Li- brary has long needed the interest and financial support of those in- terested in the advance of scholar- ship. Last spring it was decided to form a Founding _ Committee which could enlist such support, Mrs. Jacques L. Vauclain was elected chairman of the committee, and some seven hundred appeals were sent out. To date over three thousand dollars have been receiv- ed. Donors are automatically ac- corded the use of the Library, which is renowned especially for its resources in the departments of classical literature and archae. ology, modern languages, Oriental ant, and certain of the sciences. The Friends of the Library will hold special cards entitling them to full privileges, and designating them as the supporters of this ex- cellent institution. The money coming in each year is to be used for the purchase of books. It may go to one depart- ment or to many, depending on the current needs. If this year’s enthusiastic sup- port continues into the future, the Library should become progress: ively larger_and finer. The Undergraduate Associa- tion is very pleased to an- nounce the election of Anne Foley, 53, to the office of Com- mon Treasurer. Dutch Freshmen From English School In Buenos Aires Arrive at Bryn Mawr by Patricia Murray, °52 Lyke Ooiman and Carla Kauf- mann are two Dutch girls who have just come to Bryn Mawr from Buenos Aires. As I entered their room, which is on the third floor of Merion, I was welcomed by Carla’s smile and Lyke’s, “Well, what can we tell you’? Then both of them hurried into talk, each corroborating the other, almost without my having to ask questions. Lyke and Carla have a quick, eager way of speaking which seems to translate a desire to put one at ease. Carla, the tall, dark-haired one, began: “Mother and I chose Bryn Mawr when we came to the States, college-hunting, in 1948. Of all the colleges we saw, we liked it best. Lyke and I have been close friends for years, so it was natur- al that she come with me. “Lyke and I went to an English school, Northlands, in Buenos Aires; it was a girls’ school run entirely on the English pattern. We were 800 in number, mostly| . English and Anglo4Argentines. The school was divided into four ‘houses’, or divisions, with a self- government consisting of house- -eaptains and prefects. . After. the six primary grades which are entirely in English in the morn- ing and in Spanish in the after- noon. _You might learn long division by the English method in the morning, but in the afternoon you had to do it in Spanish. We had mostly literature courses, no sci- ence. “Lyke and I were house-captains the last two years. We were sup- posed to keep order—you know, keep lines straight in assembly and that sort of thing. We were responsible to the teachers. Under our honor system you could win marks in sports and for good work in class; you can lose them for dis- order. Every month we had to a each girl’s points in a black book”. Carla has a way of speaking which provokes images. Here one imagines a huge notebook black- ened with columns of points. I asked about the other schools in Buenos Aires. It was Lyke, who is short and blonde, who ans- wered this time. “Each foreign colony, Dutch, French, German, English, Amer- ican, has its own school, run ac: cording to the pattern of its own /country. _Of course there are the| Continued on Page 6, Col. 1 taught in Spanish, we were taught| ° “Happy Medium” Provides Preview; Plans Include Potentates and Politics ‘Posters all over campus adver- tise the Junior Show as a mystic experience. Its title “The Happy Medium” bodes pure and romantic escape into another world. It will be all of that; in fact, it -will be more. History, politics, and even college also enter into the plot. The history department mustn’t expect too much, but still it should be glad to hear that Henry the Eighth is mentioned at least once. And Corrie Voorhis, as an Eastern Potentate, does considerably better than ‘Henry, with four wives at a time. In rehearsal Corrie chuck- led happily at her situation, bal- ancing first one wife, then another, on her knee. Politics is at the very core of the show. The reporter of politi- cal events, Janie Martin, is on the’ trail of a story and finds himself | with considerably more than he had bargained for. The interna. tional goings-on are of course cloaked in red. One lilting melody, sung with lamblike delicacy, is called “Veto, Veto, Veto’; some- where in the middle it deteriorates into the rousing bars of “Meadow- lands”. ‘Nearer home there are ambitious politicians: Jackie Lin- dau is out for money, and Barbara Pennypacker is out for women. Pennypacker was so ambitious a Rock Crystal Ball Welcomes Mystics Rockefeller Hall cordially in- vites you to attend the Crystal Ball after Junior Show. M. G.

This brings us to women’s place in politics. Some consider them “good agitat- ors but not suited for academic positions”. Ronnie Gottlieb, as the Medium, has other ideas. She is interested in neck-romantic arts; she knows how to put over a song; her speaking voice is low and hus- ky (or, as a stage hand remarked yahoo). She is, in short, run- ning for the office of Vice Poten- tate. Other Aspects Then too, there will be some re- marks about Bryn Mawr. It seems we do nothing but knit, give tea parties, and go to the flicks, when we’re not eating at the Hearth or, perhaps, maypole dancing. Some- thing is said about Phi Beta Kap- pa, but it may not be a joke. Yet the fabulous and fantastic are not forgotten. Costumes use the signs of the zodiac. The sets, worked over by an imaginative and paint-besmattered crew, prom- ise to be both worldly and out of this world.

Equally outstanding in the field of playwriting, Robert Sherwood has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize four times: the first for “TIdiot’s Delight’, in 1936, follow- ed by his second in 1937 for “Abe Lincoln in Illinois. In 1941 his third prize was for “There Shall Be No Night”, and his fourth and most recent prize in 1949 for “Roosevelt and Hopkins”.

Lois Bishop WSSF Session Considers New Campus Plans Funds and Fellowship Essential, Says McBride The World Student Service Fund held the morning session of its conference in the Common Room on October 6th from 10:30 a.m. till 12:30 p.m. The purpose of the WSSF at this session was to discuss the New World Pro- gram of World University Service and consider plans for individual college campuses. Following the welcome to dele- gates representing twenty col- leges and universities, given by Lita Hahn, chairman of Bryn Mawr United Service Fund Drive, President Katharine E. McBride spoke on “International Coopera- tion Through Student Exchange— Gain or Loss.” President Mc-~ Bride, a Vice-President of the. Service Fund, stressed the im- portance of not only helping ex- change students by funds but also by offering them the “fellowship” and solutions to -problems--which undoubtedly present themselves ta the foreign students. Miss Mc- Bride felt that this interest of the outsider was one factor which could render the foreign student’s stay a more successful one; in studies, in impression, and in fu- ture results. Mrs. Emlen, the Regional Sec- retary of New York and the Mid- dle Atlantic States, introduced the second key-note speaker, Mr. Theodore Harris, former national president of N.S.A. and associate general secretary of World Uni- versity Service.

Anne Foley was carefully weigh- ing her KHp in the Chemistry Lab when Alice Mitchell appeared to tell her she had just been elected Common Treasurer. Anne takes on a lot of figures with this job as she is now responsible for partial- ly budgeting and completely hand- ling the financial affairs of most of the clubs. Foley is known to all for her efficiency, and her new po~ sition will necessitate what she calls her “fifth bank account.” She. is relying on the trusty adding- machine to keep the clubs “out of the black or red, whichever is the wrong side”. She has been given some reserve assets—a large wad of play paper money—to help out in time of crisis and a junior po- lice badge, complete with a sum- mons pad for all lagging debtors. © Good luck, Foley, you sound very well prepared.

The principle upon which college life is based necessitates an understanding of this responsibility. Yet it appears that the administration itself must remind us of our duty in this matter. “It is a misconception current among the students that the maid is supposed to clean the rooms thoroughly. Actually her job is to spend fifteen minutes in each room”. These were Miss Howe’s words at a recent meeting of Miss McBride and Miss Howe with hall presidents and vice presidents and presi- dents of Self Gov. and Undergrad, For many of us arrival at college means greater freedom than we have ever known; some seem to interpret this as freedom to leave beds unmade, clothes and laundry scattered about the floor. College wel- fare depends in large part on the impression we make upon alumnae and outside visitors. One of the purposes of college life is to free us from material concerns so that we may get a perspective on the outside world. In college personal neat- ness is not simply a personal matter. It is evidence of our understanding of the reason for which we are sent to col- lege.

It is even con- fusing to’ me because it makes me wonder’ how confusing I had been. Would the News be willing to publish certain corrections which are important for the record? Social Economy has not “more majors than ever before”, but more graduate students than any other department. I do not think of our task in terms of “becoming reconciled” to prolonged tension but in terms of far greater effort. My purpose was to consider the chief func- tions of the university of college in dangerous times: research, which is not “predestined” and which is not done only—as your reporter has it—“by members of the college faculty who are on leave”; learning or teaching, but not only “in the immediate pres- ence of visiting lecturers who come to instruct for a year”, and a further function in the develop- ment of thought, which is less frequently made explicit and so I spent some time discussing it. Perhaps you have room in the News for a few paragraphs from the speech which should make these functions clear. “In the discussions of the func- tions of a university or college two are always paramount: teach- ing and research, For present day writers, however, these are usual- ly set in opposition. ‘Mere’ re- search is found to unfit a man for Actresses Anonymous _ Explain Change In Plans To the Editors: To prevent any misunderstand- ing, we would like to explain the sudden change in Actresses Anon- ymous’ plans for a fall production. After these plans had been made —and, unfortunately announced— we were informed by the Dean’s office of a change in policy: this year, the freshmen are not allow- ed to work on any dramatic pro- duction before second semester. Because of. the overwhelming in- terest of the freshmen, we decid- ed to postpone our production un- til they could legally join us. There will definitely be a pro- duction this spring and meanwhile there will be active meetings to train us in the various phases of theatre. We hope that all those who are interested will come.

The controversy is natural, especially because of the problems of in- creased size which are involved— greatly expanded fields of study, rapid production of young profes- sors, greatly increased numbers of students. Bryn Mawr has a unique position in this controversy for it is the institution in the country most definitely committed to the point of view that teaching and research not only supplement but enrich each other. “It is not necessary here to il- lustrate ways in which this pro- cess works. [Illustrations as a matter of fact may come to some of you in your first class. Nor would it be worth while to spend any time denying the negative— that teaching and research are not sometimes antithetical! I am more interested in pointing out the fact, as I see it, that absorp- tion in this dichotomy has led to neglect of a third function of the university or college. This third function is recognized at Bryn Mawr, if not always explicitly, but its importance is such in relation to existing stresses in the world that it should be clearly recog- nized. The third function is the progress in thought that goes on through whatever kinds of forum | the college finds it convenient to provide, whatever kinds of meet- | ing formal or informal the mem- bers of the college happen upon. The important thing is not the kind of meeting but the fact that there is opportunity for easy meeting. “This is something other than research in the sense of group or individual study systematically pursued according to predeter- mined design. It is not teaching in the sense of communication be- tween the two groups of faculty and students only. This important function of the university or col- lege that is missed in the teach- ing versus research controversy is communication in a wider sense, all the exchange of opinion that goes on among members of an academic community—if it has the good fortune to be a community.” Sincerely, Katharine McBride League Clarifies Functions at Tea Since this is “Know Your League Year”, the questions to ask yourself are “What Does the League Do” and “What Can I Do For the League?” These ques- tions were answered for those students who attended the cider and doughnuts party given by the League on Monday, October 8ta. All freshmen and upperclassmen who were interested in helping others, in fields ranging from Reading for the Blind to scooping ice cream cones in the Soda Foun- tain, found their services were needed. In every branch of the League more people are needed, in turn, to help those who need the League. To answer the questions of those people who have not yet decided in what way they would like to serve, there is a League representative in each hall. The best way to find out the “why” and “how” of the League is to go into action yourself. + build Current Events Current Events, Common Room, Monday, October 7th, 7:15 p. m. Miss Leighton opened the cur- rent events lectures by speaking on the Japanese Peace Treaty which was signed in San Francisco on September 8. Viewed in the perspective of the western powers’ objectives in the Pacific, the treaty was part of a larger plan 1) to up Japan as a_ bulwark against Communism in the Far East, and 2) to erect a defense against renewed Japanese aggres: sion. The general principles of the Treaty were voiced by Mr. Dulles last March. First, the peace should restore Japan as an equal in the ‘society of nations. Second, it should give Japan a chance to be- come self-sustaining in the world, Third, it should encourage close cultural relations between Japan and the West, and finally it should give Japan:'a reasonable security. The method which was devised for negotiation and consummation of the treaty reflects the Com- munist threat. Invitations were jissued not to a conference, but to a ratification of the final draft of the treaty, so Russia could not op- pose measures that implicitly im- _peded further aggression “on her part. The treaty itself has seven | chapters, the first of which con- cludes the existing state of war and grants full sovereignty to the Japanese people. The second chap- ter ratifies the Potsdam surrender terms on the territory situation. Chapter three, the security chap- ter, contains a non-disarmament clause and encourages Japanese self-defense. Political and econ- |omic clauses in chapter four pro- vide that Japan shall be subject ito no discrimination or disabilities ‘in trade. iIt is implicitly agreed that Japan will accord a favored policy to the allied powers in trad- ing, provided that she receives re- ciprocal commerce agreements. The reparations articles appear in chapter five to satisfy the claims of the Philippines, Indonesia, and Burma. Japan’s economy could not afford to pay in cash, so she must meet the reparation claims by salvaging, repairing, and serv- icing raw materials and manufac- tured goods free of charge. The final chapters provide for the set- tlement of disputes and the com- ing into effect of the treaty after ratification. On paper, the treaty is an ad- vance toward achieving a bulwark against Communism. Russia fail- ed to keep Japan disarmed and free of United States forces. In general the United States diplo- macy has beer adroit. Although the treaty appears lenient and we have little formal power, much actual power is in the hands of the’ United States government and ex- pectation of Japanese loyalty is greater than if we had not grant- ed her sovereignty. Japan, how- ever, has been left with a real problem: which Chinese govern- ment to recognize in order to con- clude the war with China.

A. Whitney Griswold, president of Yale ‘University, will be the keynote speaker at the Forum. The over-all theme will be “Bal- ancing Moral Responsibility and Scientific Progress”, and speakers will discuss the reasons for the present lack of balance between scientific progress and moral re- sponsibility and what may be done about it. Sessions will also be held on Tuesday afternoon and evening, Oct. 23, and Wednesday evening, Oct. 24. ** Other speakers announced in- -clude Willard E. Goslin, who re- signed a year ago as superintend- ' ent of the Pasadena, Calif., public schools after criticism of his pro- gressive education methods, and who is at present on the staff of the George Peabody College ‘for Teachers in Nashville, Tenn.; Sen, Blair Moody, D., Mich. ,and Alis- tair Cooke, chief American corres- pondent for “The Manchester Guardian”. Mr. Wilson will discuss the pres- ent state of the nation’s defense production effort at the Monday evening session devoted to an ex- ploration of the problems of pub- lic integrity and private con-: science. The subject of Mr. Sym- ington’s talk will be the ethics of organized influence. Sen. Moody will take part in a panel discus- sion of problems of conscience in Congress. Mr. Cooke will compare Congressional ethics in this coun- ‘try to the ethics of Parliament in Great Britain. Mr. Goslin will participate in a panel discyssion of the current controversy over the freedom of teaching which will be part of the third session on Tuesday evening, devoted to the subject, “The Role of Dissent in a Democracy”. The second session on Tuesday afternoon will be devoted to a dis- cussion of the theme, “Educating for Freedom in Service and Out”. This session has been planned for students and will go into tle ques- tion of whether there has been a restriction of freedom of inquiry in school and college communities. Speakers at this session will also study the relationship between universal military service and the goals of education in a free. soci- ety. Other Speakers Among those who will speak at the second session are Maj. Gen Lewis B. Hershey, director of Se- lective Service; Dr. Harold Tay- lor, president of Sarah Lawrence College; Ernest O. Melby, dean of the School of Education of New York University, and George J. W. Goodman, Harvard student who posed as a Communist fellow trav- eler in order to get into the Com- munist World Youth Festival last month in East Berlin.

Miss (Bohlken later said that one of her duties was to serve as a hostess at times and she came through magnificent- ly with fruit cup and sherbet, a wonderful start for an interview. A most important part of what was an almost entire change in the Deanery committee personnel, Miss Bohlken took over her duties at the end of August, and since then has been busy every minute, she said. Even though there is an alumnae committee to take care of the ma jor improvements like the bath in the cubicles, there is still a lot of work to do. However, Miss Bohl- ken is no stranger to the business of running an alumnae house. She did similar work at the Friends Academy at Locust Valley, Long Island, and in the summer she toured restaurants all over the country, sampling the food and talking with the managers. She spoke especially of the delightful old atmosphere of Antoine’s ia New Orleans, where everything has been kept just the way it was years ago. \A native of New York City, Miss Bohlken has lived most recently in New Jersey. There was a winter when she was at Daytona, Florida, with the Morrison Cafeteria chain, which she compared, or rather, contrasted with the less stylish cafeterias of the north. And at other times she has travelled over the country, getting experience. (Some of this experience is being translated into the menu planning of the ‘Deanery. The manager must order the food and plan the menus, and try to make the dining room show a little profit. With this in mind, the Deanery Special! has been given a place in the luncheon menu. Even now cheap- er than the same food would be a la carte, the Special will increase in value asthe volume of orders grows, ~Mrs. Bohlken remarked. “Already,” she said, “many people have come to the conclusion that it is a good idea.” The Sunday eve- ning buffet will be more complete- ly Smorgasbord in style, she add ed, so that people will be able to help themselves to as much of their favorite foods as they wish. : Even as she talked, another change came to light. One now has to pay a deposit on keys, a way of assuring the management that absent-minded. guests don’t walk out jingling door keys in their pockets. (Miss Bohlken kept emphasizing the delight she took in being busy every minute, and as supper time neared, one could easily see what she meant. [People came in droves, and so the News slipped out, won- dering if Miss Bohlken would ever find time to read a copy. Free University Opens in Europe General education and training for future leadership in a free world will be the purpose of the Free Europe University in Exile, opening its first academic year on November 1, 1951. Directed by the judgment of the Awards Com- mittee, the National Committee for Free Europe will select. stu- dents who are unable to continue studies behind the Iron Curtain to attend the school. In cooperation with the Free University, a French branch will operate from within the Chateau de la Robertsau near Straus- bourg. It will be there that stu- dents of every race, color, and creed will meet in international fellowship and study primarily history — the national cultural heritage. Three programs of studies have been developed: the first will al- low students to keep in contact with their homeland with the use of the facilities of Radio Free Europe; the second program pro- vides assistance to _ individual exiles along employment and asylum lines; the third will pro- vide scholarships for the young Eastern European exiles whose educations have been interrupted by political conditions. The students being considered for such scholarships must have passed the baccalaureate of Hu- ropean Universities or its equiva- lent, must be between the ages of 18 and 82, and must be those who, most assuredly, will develop their previously displayed char- acteristics of leadership and use them constructively in their home- land when conditions permit.

In the Zone, di- rected by Tom Wood, ’53, brings intrigue on the high seas to the circle theatre stage in the persons of Jack Allen and Eric Blanchard, ’55; Joe Stein and Stumpy Mat- teson, ’538, and Haverford Profes- sor Ken Woodroofe. Directed by Haverford Professor Wayne Booth, According to the Law deals with the false accusation and hanging of a negro, and fea- tures Roger Euster, Robin Nevitt, and Labron Schuman. The plays presented on the cir- cular stage of the Theatre-in-the- Round provide a welcome contrast to the conventional style of the modern stage. Challenging to the actor and interesting to the audi- ence, these plays revive the med- ieval circle stage and merit the attention of any who enjoy the different, Abroad Program relative level counts, and only a small percentage can be received at each exam. School is a serious business, the courses specialized, the hours of outside preparation very long, and the competition in- credible. Thus it would be contrary to the aims of the Junior Year Abroad program, the introduction to many aspects of French life, for a student to spend all her time doing classwork, the probable result of trying to follow the French student’s full program. The Bryn Mawr French depart- ment, however, recommends that French majors take at least one of these regular courses, Most of the courses which were open to us last year fall into three categories: those given especially for the group by professors from the lycees and taught at Reid Hall, headquarters for the group until this year; the courses at the Ecole de Preparation of the Sorbonne for foreign students in- tending to teach French in their own countries; and the Cours de Civilisation Francaise also given at the Sorbonne and for foreign students. The Reid Hall courses were quite general, and covered what is offered in the first two years of French at Bryn Mawr. The lit- erature courses (17th century and 19th century) were intended for those students in the group who were not French majors, but who wished to broaden their generul knowledge of French literature. The Cours de Civilisation were even more general, but included many fields, literature, art, his- tory. Although special supple- mentary classes were given at Reid Hall for those taking the Cours, they are not recommended by the Bryn Mawr French depart- ment, As it does each year, the Ecole de Preparation offered a demand- ing but intensely interesting course in ,contemporary French literature. In addition there was an excel- lent course in modern’ French painting at the Ecole du Louvre, given especially for the group, but substantially the same as offered in the regular three year program, Advanced French composition and translation were offered at Reid Hall, as well as beginning, inter- mediate and advanced training in Continued on Page 4, Col. 1 for all phases of dramatic art and serve as an extra outlet for dra- matic activity.

Senior Recounts South American Idyll Citing Friendliness, Scenery & Sports - by Cynthia Sorrick, ’54 “The thing that impressed me most about South America was the wonderful friendliness of the peo- ple and their effort to help a per- son unfamiliar with their language and customs”, recounted Anne Chambers about her vacation this summer. “Their food, their mu- sic, and their country are wonder- ful!” The contrast between the old and the new is strikingly evident throughout, especially in Lima, Peru and Santiago, Chile, where many of the buildings constructed before the Spanish conquest stand intermingled with hotels and of- fice buildings of the most modern design. And though twentieth cen- tury methods have been introduc- ed, the native farmers and crafts- men continue to cling to age old modes of industry and transporta- tion. “Skiing one week, swimming the next” highlighted Anne’s visit in Santiago, with her sister, Mar- garet. July and August (mid- winter in Chile) are the best for skiing in the Andean resorts, such as Farellones above Santiago. Yet further north along the coast at Zapallar, she was able to enjoy swimming and sun bathing in the Pacific. She described the coast as being very much like that of Maine with its small expanse of sandy beach, then rocks and trees right down to the ocean’s edge and hills rising above that. “It seemed so strange to be swimming in a month which corresponds with our January”. ‘Much to her surprise, language was not the barrier she had first supposed it would be. She was de- lighted to find that she could hag. gle over the price with shopkeep- ers as well as the next person and could hold her own at the various social functions which she attend ed. Anne returned to the United States via the Argentine Pampas and Buenos Aires, sailing this time up the Eastern coast of South America with a stop at Trinidad where the famed calypso singers made up a verse for each member of their party. She arrived home tired, happy, and convinced tha: South America is the place to visit.

These are by no means the only courses available, but those which seemed to be the most popular. The only students to follow regular French courses were those who studied at the Ecole des Sci- ences Politiques which offered history of the 20th century, inter- national relations in the 20th century and a study of the Prin- cipal Currents of European Thought. Even these students, however, did not do the same work as their, French counter- parts, they attended the lectures, but took special written and oral exams. Last year, because no advanced or specialized courses were avail- able to those who were unable to take the course at the Ecole de Preparation, many French majors found themselves studying no French literature at all. The Bryn Mawr French department strong- ly recommends that its majors take at least one of the special- ized literature courses given for French students preparing for the licence (the approximate equiv- alent of the M.A.), which will af- ford an opportunity to become acquainted with both French methods of teaching and with French students. However, organized study and the actual classes are only a part of the year, The French family expects its American student to go to her classes, do her work, and then have a good time.

You are learning by being in Paris. to every major part of the globe in which WSSF funds are helping and will help. Before covering the programs of each section, Mr. Harris stressed the fact that al- though the work of WSSF and its related organizations has not pre- vented wars, it has been one group of this type which lasted throughout them. This strength of purpose to aid students and de- velop university sites is one which does not deflate under pressure, At the Oslo Conference of WUS this summer, 160 representatives of 32 countries considered and carried out changes and plans. Mr. Harris covered the following areas and their plans. The European program, because of thoughtful German delegates, was devised by transferring to India and Eastern countries, a great percentage of the aid now received by Germany. The Ger- mans considered their needs com- paratively few in relation to those of many other peoples. The Refugee Service will continue to free students from refugee camps and transfer them to accepting countries. One of WSSF’s newest and most outstanding European projects is the scenic and health- ful International Rest Home for students; most patients here are tubercular, (, Egypt, the word “education” means secondary schooling only. Ninety per-cent of the people are not served by educational institutions because of the extreme cost of living in universities, in both Cairo and Alexandria. By inject- ing a desire for “mutual self- help”, the Fund hopes to build, with local help, a Hostel outside Cairo to house those students un- able to pay. Later, in a question period, Mr. Theobald Brade—Swarthmore—a German delegate of the Berlin WSSF, emphasized the splendid work of the Fund, but made a plea for more foreign students to study in Germany. The important question of Ko- rea was raised and Mr. Harris pointed out that WSSF was at present in contact with the branches of the U.N. for educa- tional aid, but no move could be instigated until war is abolished. Over and above interest in the people and the Fund, Mr. Harris advocated that we develop a reali- zation that these plans are the cradle of the international educa- tion of the world, and the basic step in student communion here and throughout the world. The afternoon session of the World Student Service Fund Con- ference began with a discussion of the Overseas Program for the next year. This concerned the ternational organization of which the WSSF is the American branch, Following this, Miss Elizabeth B. Emlen, the WSSF regional secre- tary, reported on the work done last year in the colleges in this area. ‘Most of the major colleges in this vicinity were represented at the conference. . There was then a discussion of the campus program plans. These plans included organization and chest drives, administration, pub- licity and education, solicitation and special events. The delegates also ‘considered other worthy pro- jects, including the UNESCO gift coupon plan, the CARE~WSSF book and package plan, area pro- jects and Earmarking Funds. The session closed with a discussion of the DP Placement Program, with which the WSF is vitally con- cerned. {; ron EL GRECO RESTAURANT Bryn Mawr Confectionery 810 Lancaster Ave. Bryn Mawr At the Most Beautiful Store in Bryn Mawr BREAKFAST - LUNCH DINNER ~ To look your best At the Junior Show, It’s to MARTIE’S ' You should go!

New ‘School Night’|)** Arouses Intellect by Betty-Jeanne Yorshis, ’52 “To my mind,” said Mr. Michels, “School Night is the most inter- esting and exciting experiment in education ever made”. He was speaking of the series of ten and twenty-three week evening courses given for adults, and sponsored by the Main Line “School Night As- sociation” for which he acts as liaison, with the faculty of Bryn Mawr College. The reasons for Dr. Michels’ wholehearted ap- proval were immediately given. “School Night” is a community project, a non-profit corporation which ‘manages with remarkably low tuition to bring a variety of opportunities for adult self-im- provement to those who wish to use them. As of last year, some thousand people have annually attended the courses ranging from Candy Making to Modern Art, and Architecture, or from Contract Bridge to the World in Crisis. Continued on Page 6, Col. 2 Continued from Page 1 ling of interested men. There were some “big names’ present—Elea- nor ‘Roosevelt, Edith Sampson, Lillian Gilbreth—but it was. the ability and enthusiasm of the group as a whole that was im- pressive. _I was struck by what I cannot help calling the maturity of the conference. Perhaps (heaven be praised) we have at last left fem- inism behind us. There was no mention of women’s rights, only of women’s responsibilities. The del- egates approached most of the problems of the defense decade not as women specifically but as citi- zens. There was little flag-wav- ing, a minimum of rhetoric, and a general desire to get down to busi- ness. In spite of the title of ¢he conference there was more empha- sis on strengthening democracy than on merely defending it. The spirit was distinctly creative. Above all there was no hysteria— no talk of war or atomic bomb- ings. Considering the difficulties of predicting the future, the delegates had reached a remarkable unanim- ity on what to expect in the ’50’s. The conference assumed, perhaps because it is the only workable as- sumption, that we are in for a ten- year period of armed “peace”, but that there will be no war. It as- sumed that there will be women in the armed: forces and women in de- fense industry, but that most wom en will be called upon, not to find Leave jobs, but to do their old ones Because there were so many as pects to be considered and because the conference was trying to cre- ate a blueprint itself, not just lis- ten to speakers, the delegates were divided into eight working sections on the home, education the armed forces, creative leisure, etc. Discussion in these sections was stimulating, but it cannot be said that their conclusions were startling. aes There was a lot of emphasis on the value of the home and keeping ; the family together, coupled with the feeling that, at least when the wife works, the ‘husband should help relieve her of the double bur- den of housework. As Dean Mac- Intosh put it: “We need to re-eval- uate our concept of marriage”. There was a great deal of stress on the importance of adapting ed- Conference Stresses the Community as Unit, Emphasizes Importance of Womanpower Today ucation to changing conditions, both by improving our schools and by developing techniques which will get elementary economic and political concepts over’ to large groups of adults. “Every house- wife must be an economist”, said Anna Lord Strauss. In particular, she must understand what is caus- ing inflation and how to combat it. We heard continual emphasis on the community as a unit of action. Individuals, families, and schoois must ‘be made to feel that they are participating in community action. This feeling of participation is particularly important for. wom- en, since women are so apt to un- derestimate their own abilities, to feel that they should leave opinion- forming and action-taking to the men. ‘Women must be made to feel that what they have to con- tribute is important. The only really startling recom- mendation of the conference was a resolution, passed by a close vote in one of the sections, calling for a nation-wide registration of all women from 18 to 65. It was thought that this “would be con- vincing evidence of the need for womanpower and would provide an important inventory of the avail- able skills for essential civilian and military services”. (Whether sufficient jobs are available to warrant this amount of paper work and how these skills would be brought into use (since no draft of women was proposed) is cer- tainly open to discussion. If the conference was agreed on basic assumptions, was thought- ful and stimulating and yet pro- duced no bold new conception of the role of women, it is because we have already reached an advanced stage of agreement on the general outlines of the job to be done. What we need now are better tech- niques and these will not be devel- oped in conferences; they will be developed in the field. At any rate this conference has made it per- fectly clear that this is no time for women, particularly educated wo- men, to complain about lack of op- portunity. The jobs are there. by Emmy Cadwalader, °53 The new and permanent addi- tion to the Physical Education De- partment this year is Miss Helene Savad of New York City. Miss Savad received her B.A. from Brooklyn College, where she was not only the president of the Athletic Association, but also the winner of the award for the most outstanding graduate of the class of 1948. After her graduation she went to Smith for her M.A. in Physical Education, and_ since then has been on the staff of Carleton College, Northfield, Min- nesota. : Here at Bryn Mawr Miss Savad teaches or assists in teaching all of the sports, but her major in- terest is in the dance. She has been making plans with Lita Pi- card, president of the Dance Club. At this moment they are reorgan- izing the group, and drawing up a new constitution. Miss Savad says that although many of the old members of the club are not here this year, there is still a fine nucleus with which to start the new season. Her aim for those who take dance is to “build up a definite foundation in tech- nique in the dance, before getting involved in a big production.” She would like to see the Dance Club put on a good program for Arts Night and other college functions. This year the club will be a much more serious organization, and tryouts will be judged according to both ability and interest. Even a pianist has been acquired for the meetings, so the old tribal thump of the drum will not be as famil- iar as it has been in the past. In her views on Bryn Mawr, Miss Savad has paid us all a great compliment when she described the students here. “They seem extremely adult, and have the H. Savad-Sparks Dance Club, Assists And Observes Campus Sporting Blood ability to make their own deci- sions’. Her opinion is that a teach- er should be a guide, not a dicta- tor, and is pleased with the way the students here are open to sug- gestion. The way Bryn Mawrtyrs assume responsibility also delights her. Bryn Mawr is fortunate in hav- ing Miss Savad on the staff, as she has many new ideas to offer, and also has the wonderful ca- pacity of being able to understand a problem and offer a solution to it at a glance, Looking like a carefree freshman in her blue shorts and white shirt, Miss Savad has already, in the short time that she has been here, won great ad- miration from those who work with her.

Lyke talked about their social life in B. A. “T think you are much freer than we are. We used to go to parties every Saturday night, but until I was seventeen I didn’t go out alone”. “Yes”, added Carla, “Daddy used to have to take us to parties and drive us home afterwards”. With a gesture she sketched her father, sleepy but resigned, driv- ing home. his giddy daughter af- ter a party. Lyke continued, “Boys and girls don’t date as they do here. A girl invites her friends, boys and girls, to meet at her house. Every sum- mer, when we have winter weather, we used to have a special party when we did Scottish dances. We used to go in groups of eight, and practice for months beforehand. “It’s very difficult to get to know the Argentines, whose social life is distinct from ours”.

In fol- lowing this trend, the School Night Association asked faculty members of Bryn Mawr and Hav- erford Colleges to come in on the program and even, as in the case of the Modern Art and Architec- ture course, for which slides and other equipment are needed, to use the college campus for lecture purposes. Now five courses are given on either the Bryn Mawr or Haverford campus, and the ten week semester has been length- ened to twenty-three weeks.. The fact that such opportunities are offered to Main Liners is com- mendable, but the fact that Main Liners have responded to the of- fer with such enthusiasm is mag- nificent. Mr. Michels said, “There is a surprising number of classes with absolutely regular attend- ance”. No credit is given and no prerequisites are required for the courses but they are attended by an “interested and eager group of people’ whose only desire is to learn. Mr, Sloane, one of the profes- sors who taught a course at the though if they are tired of ex- plaining themselves to people they did not show it. “T hope you will be able to make something out of all that”, said Carla.

Since “there is no uniformity in the classes one teaches”, there being barbers, housewives, businessmen all in one class, and since the class is not a “captive audience” like un- dergraduates, Mr. Sloan said these conditions “put one on one’s met- tle, and one can tell only by the attendance and reluctance of the class to leave, whether the course is good.” Perhaps Mr. Sloane’s experience with childish Peeping Toms, who were interested in his art lecture given in abhigh school physics lab one Hallowe’en nig, was instrumental in bringing the course to the Bryn Mawr campus. He thinks partaking in School Night is “rewarding teaching”, “The people are eager, something which undergraduates are not, or if they are, they conceal it. Adult education is a great thing because it gives adults an opportunity to pick up threads of learning,’’ he concluded, summing up the opin- ion of all those who are connect- ed with School Night.
