The Alliance constitution will be voted on in its entirety and its name will be changed since it has become a peacetime organization of a political and economic char- acter. je Since, in addition, the League has developed into an economic and social organization and the Under- graduate Association covers the more general activities on campus, changes have been made to coor- dinate more closely the work of each organization. Consequently the specific constitutional changes which have been made are the transference of the Red Cross from the Alliance to the League, the Industrial Group from the League to the Alliance, and the Chapel Committee from the League to the Undergraduate Association. Seven Colleges To Meet at B.M. ‘Delegates from Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley, Vassar and the guest college, Duke University, will attend the annual Seven Col- lege Conference to be held at Bryn Mawr on April 27 and 28. The conference is made up of the incoming and outgoing presi- dents of the two campus organiza- tions corresponding to Selif-Gov-| ernment and the Undergraduate Association. The position of host college rotates among the perman- ent members, while each year a different college is invited meeting is held annually to discuss various problems of stud- ents in these colleges. This year the topics are the honor system as it affects Student Government and academic work, and the purpose of college education for women. Mrs. Broughton will entertain the Conference’s members for din- ner at the Deanery Saturday eve- ning after which the group will Barnes, Scott Tell Russian Policies . To UNC Meeting Philadelphia, April 17: The bases of Russian foreign policy were explained by Mr. John Scott, central European corres- pondent of Time, and Mr, Joseph Barnes, foreign editor of the New York Herald-Tribune at a meeting sponsored by- the United Nations Council of Philadelphia in the Aca- demy of Music. “We should adopt a similar stan- dard of judging Russian policies and our policies,” said: Mr. Scott, urging formulation of a positive American foreign policy to meet the Russian on equal grounds. Ba- sic to Russia’s policy is a desire for security, compounded of a na- tural distrust of foreigners, a his- tory of diplomatic and military setbacks, and bitter memories of European, anti-revolutionary inter- vention after the last war. Turning to Germany, Mr. Scott pointed out that it is a laboratory for the social systems of Russia, the United States, and Great Bri- tain. During the invasion of Ger- many the easy-going methods of the Americans and the discipline of the British compared favorab in German minds to the senganf wreaked ‘by Russian combat trodps. In the last six months, however, the Russian system has shown a greater peace-time effectiveness in reconstruction than has British so- talist democracy, accounting for the recent leftward swing in Eur- ope. : Mr. Barnes stressed the threat Continued On Page 4 Camus to Speak For French Club A talented young French auth- or, Albert Camus, will lead a dis- cussion for the French club mem- bers and guests at Wyndham on Thursday, April 25. 2 Throughout the war M. Camus edited an underground paper called “Combat”. Two of his plays have been produced in Paris, and his first novel, “L’Etranger,” has been tranlated into English recently. At present, he is working on a new book. He has been speaking to young, audiences on the east coast, and the same evening as his discussion here, he will lecture at the Penn- sylvania University Museum on meet in the Common Room. “La Crise de 1Homme.” ‘George Washington Slept Here’ Features Woes of Country Life By Louise Gorham. ’47 - “When George Washington slept here - - -” anything might have happened, but nothing equal to the hurly-burly rampant in the Var- sity Players’-Cap and Bells’ forth- coming production. Among the ing for water, and thunder storms galore, is heard the plaintive cry, “A horse just walked into the kit- ‘chen,” while it seems that a cow is trying to drive off in the car.

An optimistic note was express-, ed by Mr. Titon’s direction, “whién the ‘whistle blows, be sure’ to wait for laughs,” of which the play I say damn?

At Otis Skinner Workshop Again Paint and pastels are once more in use in the long vacant Art Stu- dio in the Otis Skinner Memorial Workshop, where a newly-formed Art Group. is holding regular meetings, and where, next year, the History of Art Department plans to hold a regular laboratory in connection with its first year course. In respons@ to the demand for more opportunity for creative ex- pression on campus, the Studio, under the auspices of the Art Group, is open on “Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and all day Saturday to any student who wish- es to come and try her hand in such mediums as_ water-color, brush and ink, poster paint and clay. Materials are provided free, and members of the Group take turns at posing. Mr. Morris Blackburn, a Phila- delphia artist, is present on Tues- day and Wednesday to give sugges- tions and instructions to those who wish it. Mr. Blackburn has studied abroad and has taught at the Phil- adelphia Museum for several years, Initial funds for this project were provided by the Art Depart- ment and by the old Art Club, which has been amalgamated with the new Art Group. This organi- zation is completely independent and is headed by Joan Hitchcock "48, Next year the Art Department is planning to make use of the Studio in conjunction with the lec- tures and conferences that form the basis of the first year survey course. By doing simple projects in different artistic mediums, the members of the class, through their own efforts, will become aware of the practical elements involved in problems which they have studied in a more theoretical context. .

Siger- ist, Director of the Institute of the History of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, at the ninth Alliance Assembly. To improve health in America, our task is “to create the social organization which our technology requires.” The basic idea of the Russian system is that medical services and the means to protect health are not sold to the people. “They are a public charity to which everyone thas a_ constitutional right,” according to Dr. Sigerist. The entire setup is an attempt to apply science to the production, distribution, and use of new medi- cal devices. “Today we look at medicine as a social science,” “Said Dr. Siger- ist; the four major tasks of medi- cine today are promotion of health, prevention of disease, res- toration of health, and -rehabilita- tion of former patients. In Russia, the emphasis is on the prevention of disease. The distinction be- tween preventive and curative medicine has been erased almost completely. Education is the basis of all health work in the U.S.S.R. “In Russia health education has a very good résponse because it goes hand in hand with education for citizen- ship.” Physical culture, and rec- reation and rest facilities with medical supervision are provided. Sanitation and industrial hygiene are stressed. Health work in ‘Russia is plan- ned by all the people for a period of time, such as the duration of one five-year plan, but at the end of every year the degree of success or failure is determined, and the necessary changes are made. ‘Execution of the plans depends on the centralized direction of de- centralized activity. The highest policy-forming body in the admin- istration is the People’s Ministry of Health Protection, which is re- Continued on Page 3 B. M. Summer Camp Counselors Mix Fun and Child Psychology by Mary Lee Blakely, ’47 As most Bryn Mawrters rather proudly profess themselves to be baffied by “activities” on campus, here are some of the salient facts about such an enterprise as. the Summer Camp. A timid inquiry as to what one “did” at summer camp brought forth such a torrent of replies from all quarters that a book on the subject could scarcely cope with all Johnny’s cute sayings or what that bad little Peggy thought was so funny. =. -;, : This summer Nancy»Coward 747 has secured a house in Cape..May one and a half blocks from_the beach. The camp will be run in three sessions with twenty child- ren of mixed sexes and of angelic ér diabolic characters. Nancy stresses the need for more coun- selors at these two week ateniony, reminiscing about the fun she had last year where she met new Bryn Mawrters as well as learned “simp- ly amazing” things about children as a whole. “Asyone interested in Psychology, Sociology or marriage should at least inquire into the summer camp” said Nancy, as she ‘endeavored to explain the case his- tory system the camp works on. Social workers from Philadel- phia claim that Bryn Mawr’s ¢amp is one of their favorites because the children get so much individual attention. The counselors. spend hours. going. over__the.. children’s past histories and make an effort to help them with ‘this in view. _ The children gain approximately five-pounds in the two weeks they play in the sun and the counselors leave with sand in their hair, a sizzling tan and “quite a new out- © look on life.” — Vy gst ww > Pazse Two x Btn tush “THE COA L E Ga NEWS!

This statement is not true in the case of every student, but despite the most careful planning, there is a large number of undergraduates who have more than three papers to write before the end of classes. Badly Integrated We believe strongly that there should be papers; they are an opportunity for students to do some original work. _ However, there is something in the argument that too many papers result in poor papers. A balance must be struck be- tween tthe general view of a field gained from the assigned reading, and the handling of a number of related details with- in a limited aim, the completed paper. This balance does not mean a separation of the two elements, an imposition of a paper project on top of the pattern of general work; it rather presupposes that the paper will form an integral, though technically different, part of the course work. Several important changes have been made. Some de- ‘ partments have allowed students to combine papers in two courses, or to substitute an oral report. In many cases, a student taking advanced courses can schedule her own papers. This is still not enough, even when the indisputable fact is considered that there are those who will always leave their work until the last minute, no matter what arrangements are made. Maximum Suggested Therefore, we would like to suggest a maximum of two papers _a semester, stressing the possibility for combining courses. Another suggestion is to have a short reading per- iod at the end of each semester, with the understanding that no student who had a paper could use this time as an extra vacation. While working on an essay, it is often difficult to keep up with the daily work, and a reading period of not more than a week would give ample time for concentrated effort, and would alleviate the feeling of pressure which inevitably comes from trying to do several things at once. We ask, then, that papers be considered in their relation to the total weight of a student’s work and the needs of her separate studies; that-papers be not regarded as a mere super-refinement of the academic process. At the same time, a little more intra-faculty cooperation seems desirable, view- ing the student as an organic uliit, and not as a machine with *-t00r" uncoordir nated cogs 3 milling out the grist of four separ- ate courses. Drainien Harvard Plans Contest Between Chorines And College Girls To the Editor: A few days ago Billy Rose, the well known promoter of show- girls, made a public statement to the effect that “beautiful girls don’t go to college.” .. The Harvard Lampoon took exception to this ob- vious fallacy and sent a telegram to Mr. Rose,. challenging him to a beauty contest,between six of his girls and an equal number of col- lege girls—to be chosen by the Lampoon. (Mr. Rose has accepted our challenge, and we are hoping for your help in selecting the girls to compete against his group. The contest is to be held in Cam- bridge on Saturday afternoon, the eighteenth of May. The girls are to appear? in evening gowns and bathing suits. Th Judges are to be five prominent newspapermen, plus a representative from the A. P. and one from the U. P. The evening gowns and bathing suits are to be designed, individually, by Adrian, a famous designer, who has offered his services free of charge. As you can see, this con- test will offer an excellent oppor- tunity for girls interested in the theatre and modeling. We feel that it is our duty to further the interests and uphold the honor of the American_college-womanhood. No public spirited collegian will disagree with this! We are asking you to select, by ‘whatsoever means you prefer (a college-wide poll is suggested), the two most beautiful girls in your college. It is our intention to hold a preliminary contest at the Hasty Pudding Club on Saturday, the eleventh of May. It is then that we will select the six girls that will compete against Mr. Rose’s girls. After the contest the Lam- poon will give a dance for the girls competing in the preliminary contest. Adrian will be present so that he may design the dresses for the winners. We sincerely hope that you will cooperate with us in this effort. Sincerely, Arnold W. Morse President The Harvard Lampoon P. '‘S.—The ‘Copley-Plaza, Boston, has offered the use of its ballroom for the final contest, and it is probable that Harry Conover will be on hand to give the college girls final suggestions and coaching. Food Relief Measure Upheld by Colleges Continued From Page 1 United States’ wheat supply to fa- mine relief, the group has decided to postpone its journey to Wash- ington until the results of this ac- tion can be judged. The Committee received replies in the affirmative from all colleges except Hunter, from which nothing has as yet been heard. A member of the United States Students As- sociation at Sarah Lawrence proposed that the food program be madg a topic for discussion at the U.S.S.A. meeting in New York this week-end, and Bryn Mawr will send a delegate to explain the ac- tion taken so far, Both Yale and Harvard also pledged support through their college branches of the American Veterans Committee. _A letter is following the tele- gram, urging formulation of a col- lege program. outlining — specific measures for adoption by the gov- ernment. A full explanation of the relief and conservation activities at Bryn Mawr is provided, and the Committee plans to keep in close touch with the other colleges so that a delegation may be sent as soon as the need should arise.

There will be approx- imately 150 delegates, represent- ing at least twenty countries. Plans are being“made to -have at least 25 students represent the United States at the conference, the first world-wide I. .S. 8. confer- ence since the end of the war. It is hoped that as large a number of colleges as possible swill be rep- resented in the American delega- tion. Part of the S. S.

Gindy, Egyptian graduate student, speak- ing .on. present. Egypt.. The con- fusion comes essentially from ec- onomic and social conflicts between the conservative old world Egyp- tians and the liberal youth of the .” Arabic League. ’ Miss Gindy insisted that a know- ledge of Egypt’s past history is. essential to understanding the problems of today. “In ancient Egypt, the women had the same rights as men,” Miss Gindy ex- plained, “but the introduction of Islam by Mohammed in 640 ‘A.D. began a period of seclusion ‘for wo- men which lasted until 1900 when Kasim Amin campaigned for the emancipation of women.” At present the power of Egypt lies in her youth who have asked that Egypt and her sister state, the Sudan, be united and that Bri-. tish troops be withdrawn from the country. “Despite the great devel- apment of industry during the war,”. Miss Gindy continued, “Hgypt’s wealth remains in her land.” The American people, who have become very popular because they treat Egyptians on an equal basis,‘ have introduced the rayon industry to the country which may help to increase economié develop- ment. Historical Sketches by Katrina Thomas 749 ‘Saturday, October 23, 1885, fif- ty “young ladies” arrived on the opening day of Bryn Mawr Col- lege. Eight were graduate students, the others were fresh from school. They gazed at the three massive buildings rising on top of a bar- ren hill, Taylor, “a fine structure of Port Deposit stone’, Merion described in a Trustees’ circular as “a home complete with gas light”, and the gymnasium, one of the most commodious yet pro- vided by a women’s college, com- plete with track for “when very stormy weather may deter from outdoor exercise”. Nine years. earlier, Joseph Wright Taylor had announced a desire to found a Quaker college for women. He chose a “high and healthy” tract of land near Hav- erford College with which he was. connected. The Quaker tradition of freedom of religious observances and personal liberty of conduct produced an innovation in a col- lege of -the ’80s—only voluntary attendance to chapel services and the establishment in 1892 of the first self-government association in a women’s college. Dr. Rhoads was elected by the Trustees to be the first college .; president and on the same day, M. Carey Thomas was appointed Dean of Faculty. Bryn Mawr opened with a faculty of eight, six men and two women; and eight depart- ments. The curriculum of Johns Hopkins University was adapted to form the Bryn Mawr four year “group system” by which one ma- jored in two related subjects, It was at Bryn Mawr that the first general course in Biology was. worked out; and Woodrow Wil- son’s course in history was the first integrated history course giv- en in any women’s college. The class of ’89 arrived after having passed stiff entrance ex- aminations. Most of ‘the students braved the first year of the Col- lege suceessfully and welcomed the class of 1890 with a play and small lanterns to light the ambi- tious, students through the maze of college: life, the origin of the brasmarinces Lantern 7 walking Re ey 9 THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three Socialized Medicine ‘In Russia Explained Continued From Page 1 sponsible for the welfare of two hundred million people. Along with protecting the public health, the chief duty of the Ministry is the training of health personnel— physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, and various assistants. In 1941 there were 130,000 students, 75% of whom were women. It is interesting to note that 50% of the practicing physicians in Russia at present are women, and Dr. Sieg- erist expects a majority of women doctors in the future. The Peo- ple’s Ministry also supplies all med- ical equipment—hospitals, instru- ments, apparatus, and drugs. Thus it controls the entire medical in- dustry as well as all preventive, diagnostic, and curative services. The base of the pyramid that is the Russian health administrative system is formed by hundreds thousands of small committ wherever people get together for work. “The battle against dis- ease must be fought by the peo- ple themselves,” asserted Dr. Sig- erist. “Health cannot. be forced on them.” Skills of persons.who had Red Cross and first aid training during the war are being utilized in*the. formation of health com-| mittees in apartment houses, fac- tories, and on farms. Cost of the program has rested with the Consolidated State Bud- get since 1927. Farm income, gov- ernment subsidies, and social in- surance funds take care of extra- ordinary expenses and pensions. Successful Athle The winter’s athletic season has been an exceptionally successful one. Badminton, swimming and fencing teams have lost only one of their’ respective contests with outside colleges; basketball,’ how- ever, has not done as ‘well as might have been hoped for.

The team’s | only defeat occurred in the game | of 4-1, against Bryn Mawr, al- though the season ended cheerfully as Chestnut Hill was beaten by 4-1. The swimming scores follow al- most the same pattern as the bad- minton team’s—initial victory, a ane defeat, and a successful last me.

Fifteen people arrived at the Mrs. Otis Skinner Theatre Workshop and met Mr. (Morris Blackburn, newly appointed instructor. In his lec- ture, Mr. Blackburn emphasized the point that each artist sees the subject (which was at the mo- ment, Patty Hochschild) in his own way, which can be quite dif- ferent from the rendition of .an- other artist. There were about ten poses lasting from five to ten min- utes, during which Mr. Blackburn helped each girl, by further ex- plaining his method of all-over ren- dering. ig] The next day, there were even more hopeful artists assembled in the workshop, which had received its christening by that time with a bottle of “India ink, spilled acci- dentally by an over-eager enthus- jast. Each one took turns posing for the rest, who did their sketch- es, for the most part, with a Jap- anese brush and ink. The brush was held at the end, and the stroke achieved with the movement of the whole arm. A problem of line composition was tried. One girl drew a brush line on her sheet of paper; the next copied hers and drew a new one of her own, and so on until there were about twen- ty loops and curves ‘on the last sheet. This was a question of bal- anced composition, the outcome of which was very interesting. These artistic afternoons are very informal; cookies are passed around, ¢igarettes smoked.
