At the second Bryn Mawr assembly on Current Affairs, Miss Mabel New- comer evaluated the Marshall Plan, emphasizing that the United States must not again run the risk of supplying ‘too little, too late.’ If Congress in its special session November 17 follows the Repub- lican wish to discuss tax reduction before the Marshall plan, the re- sults might be disastrous, accord- ing to Miss Newcomer. Miss Newcomer explained that | there are certain basic questions to be considered in regard to the Marshall Plan. People want to know whether it will fill Europe’s needs, whether it can be effective- ly carried out by Europe and whether we can afford this aid. ““All we know is that the need in Europe is great; that efforts have - already been made towards the reestablishment of industry and towards financial stability in west- est Europe; and-that—certainco- operative measures have already ben instituted by these countries,” stated Miss Newcomer. The fact that western Germany seems to be the great exception in European recovery can be traced to the United States policy there and to the fact that they have suffered a loss of initiative intensified by the lack of food and heat. The need for a flexible program under the direction of a continu- ing control commission was advo- ‘cated by Miss Newcomer. must be used with discretion, how- ever,” Miss Newcomer asserted, “and not to make Europeans do things our way. Our task is to make them be free. It is a diffi- cult one.” Miss Newcomer . also demonstrated that failure to give Europe the proper aid would even- tually lead to economic disorder in the United States. Treasury Dues Payable in Dec. Common Treasury dues of $5.00 will be placed on the second Pay Day (December 12). The budgets of the organizations handled by the Common Treasurer are posted on the ‘appropriate bulletin boards in Taylor. See them for exact de- tails. The sum will ,be allocated as follows: $1.00 to the Alliance. -25 to the Self-Government, As- sociation. .60 to the Varsity Players and Stage Guild. (This.entitles all un- dergraduates to a free ticket, dis- counting entertainment tax, to both Varsity Players’ productions giv- en at Bryn Mawr. The Time of Your Life, by William Saroyan, will be presented this Saturday). $3.00 to the Undergraduate As- sociation. 15 to the Undergraduate Asso- ciation to cover deficit. (The Un- dergrad Board voted unanimously to complete the $5.00 in ‘this way, in order to cover a deficit incurred over the last few years. This will enable Undergrad to start with a clean slate). Rigid economy is being observed ' in all organizational finances, states Susan Kelley, the Common Treas- urer. Financial statements are posted monthly in Taylor. e.. “This | Nick’s P.

Schlesinger pointed out that revo- lutionary changes could be effected without a revolution. “Change is a life and death problem for socie- ty,” said Prof. Schlesinger; and-ad= justment to this constant changing is a major issue which presents it- self under a political guise. The Ruling Class “The ruling class benefits from the continued existence of the present order,” explained. Prof. Schlesinger, and at the same time it becomes less interested in the objectives by which it came to power than in the power acquired. The rest of society, on the other hand, becomes increasingly dissat- isfied. A new approach to solving this problem was evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries with the development of democracy. “The ruling class in a democracy is abortive,”’ asserted Prof. Schles-. inger; “it has no legal or statutory position.” In addition to a more mature conception of legal change political techniques are used to regularize change. “The business community, which constitutes the ruling class in our democracy,” Prof. Schlesinger con- tinued, “has been politically, ideo- logically and socially vulnerable.” Two periods of acute tension when popular dissatisfaction was at its strongest and the business commu- nity remained most implacable may be seen during the presiden- cies of Jackson and Roosevelt. Illustrating his parallel between the terms of office of these two men, Prof. Schlesinger drew atten- tion to the similarity between the Continued on Page 3 A. W.

The Order of the Holy Cross is a monastic order belonging to the Episcopal Church. It was founded in 1884 in New York’s East Side among the poor, by the Rev. James O. S. Huntington. The order consists of about twenty-five men, most of whom are under life vows.

The production of Time of Your Life by the Bryn Mawr Varsity Players and Haverford’s Cap and Bells on Friday and Saturday nights will reveal how William Saroyan finds life wonderful, or worth living anyway. The play promises to be not only entertainment but thought-provok- ‘ing, under the expert direction of ‘Mr. Thon who does not lack energy and overlooks no discrepancies of production. Music and dialogue are carefully synchronized, action and gesture meticulously coached. Nev- ertheless, Saroyan’s so - called comedy will probably not make many people laugh. Streeter, Taylor, Dean, Will Speak About Edueation Dr. Vera Micheles Dean, Dr. Lily Ross Taylor and Ruth Cheney Streeter, 1918, will be the speakers at the Saturday morning session of the Alumnae Week-end pro- gram, Liberal Edueation and Life in the Community. Undergradu- ates are invited to the meeting which will be held in the Theatre Workshop at the Baldwin School, at 11:00. Dr. Dean, a well-known speaker, is Research Director and Editor of The Foreign Policy Association. She will speak on “Education for International Affairs.” Dr. Taylor, familiar to all Bryn Mawr students as Dean of the Graduate School and Professor of Latin, is to speak on “The Humani- ties and Public Service.” Mrs. Streeter was the director and a Colonel in the Marine Corps Women’s Reserve, receiving the Legion of Merit award for her out- standing service. ‘Education for Participation in Community Af- fairs” will be the subject of her talk.

It would seem that an aid to overcoming the difficulty of girls trying to take male parts is that of having a male director, because Betty Lou Morgan was actually Charles in speech, manner and ac- tion in the Non-Res production of Frank Tompkins’ Sham. Eugene Galanter directed this sophisticated comedy, about the goings-on of an evening at 2819 Sargent Road. The cast included Lynn Cox as a very winning thief but who was not quite so-much_at-home_in_the_part_as_ the thief was in the house; Debby Put- nam as an extremely comic Clara with fluttery hands and a piercing screech when she became excited; and Claire Hershfield in a bit part Continued on Page 3 Westerners Gain Time for Travel The Dean’s office has announced that the Faculty has passed the motion of returning to the pre- war rule that students living west of the Mississippi will be allowed travel time during Christmas va- cation. Such students may leav college in advance time in ae to reach home before midnight of December 23. This applies only to the student who is going home. She must register at the office of the Dean immediately after her last lecture and must bring rail- road timetables to the office. In_ returning, students west of the Mississippi do not need to leave before the first available train on January 2, as shown by timetables submitted to the Dean. They are required to register in the office of the Dean immediately preceding their first class. Christmas vaca- tion begins this year on December 19 at 12:45 p. m. and ends Janu- ary 5at 9 a. mi, by Gwynne Williams ’50 The impulse to praise the acting in the winning Freshman play, Saroyen’s Hello, Out There! pre- sented by Rhoads under the direc- tion of Pam Stillman, is somewhat restrained by my adverse opinion of the play itself. Hello, Out There! condemns a world already far more ingeniously and_ subtly sentenced to complete deteriora- tion by Aldous Huxley or T. S. Eliot. Its hero, a young man who has been unfairly jailed for a put- up rape, was played by Cynthia Schwartz. Saroyan’s character is a little too bitter, a little too un- natural to be appealing, but Cyn- thia interpreted this bitterness with near professional skill. High Caliber Acting The young girl who falls in love with him was played _sincere- ly and successfully by Anita Ditt- mar. The husband of the so-called outraged partner in the crime again seemed to have no real ap- peal, the blame for which can be equally divided between Saroyan and Harriet Morse, who was a lit- tle too abrupt to be convincing, so that the ultimate shooting of the hero borders on being an act of comedy. Molly. Frothingham as the deceitful wife, Coly Nauman and Katherine Torrence as_ his friends get the most out of their small parts. Although not _a__ soul - stirring drama, Rhoads’ interpretation of Hello, Out There! is to be most heartily praised for having acting of a much higher caliber than is usually seen in Freshmen plays. eats’ Land of Heart’s Desire, presented by Rockefeller under Emily Townsend’s direction, though without the polished, expert ap- proach of the winning play was of a very human and appealing quality. Iran Ala as the father had a natural and wise understanding of her part, but Deidre Delaney as the mother could have been more expressive of her bitter jealousy for her daughter. Jeanne Hoenig assumed the unimaginativeness of voice and action to give an excel- lent portrayal of the devout priest. Joyce Medwed and Patsy Bennett played the parts of young lovers Continued on Page 3 Pasquale Falconi Notes Changes After Forty-two Years at B.M.C. By Anne Greet, ’50 Last summer, at the end of June, Pasquale Falconi retired after 42 years of service to Bryn Mawr. Since 1905 he has worked as cam- pus mailman or groundsman. It was he who planted the ivy around Rockefeller, and during Miss Thomas’ reign he had special care of the Deanery and the Deanery gardens. ~~ ‘Miss Thomas ‘and he were great friends. The Deanery garden with its stone fountain no, longer is the colorful sweet-smelling place it was when he took care of it for her. Nearly every’ day she insist- ed he take her up and down in the freight elevator—a perilous jour- ney as it continually threatened to collapse. At Christmas time Miss Thomas would send Pasquale’s children presents — strange things she had collected abroad—and_-they. implicitly believed she was Santa Claus. In over 40 years Pasquale saw many changes on’ campus. The Deanery grew. The gym sprang up, and a new tile swimming pool took the place of the old cement- bottomed one. Before there was a gym Pasquale used to set up the posts and baskets for outdoor bas- ketball in the spring, but no soon- er were they ready than every one migrat to the tennis courts.

The News does not send out its reviewers with a pre- ‘conceived “policy” or attitude toward a specific play. Many people seem to feel that our reviewers automatically “pan” any campus offering, considering and criticizing it in the same way and by the same standards as a Broadway produc- tion. This is not true. The News has a staff of reviewers, who are chosen sole- ly for their proven taste and ability, not only to distinguish good from bad, but to write a good criticism. This presup- poses—and desires—a personal style. It is possible that cer- tain styles may be offensive; it is also possible that the re- viewer.can be wrong. No one is ever infallible, and certainly no one twenty years old who is working on a college news- paper pretends to be or thinks she is. We send out our re- viewer, telling her to write what she thinks about the pro- duction, and we publish her article under her name. It should be obvious that the whole News staff cannot be and is not al- ways in accord—just as any group of people will meharee on the same subject. Nor does the News consider or review a campus produc- tion as it does a professional one. We are aware of the dif- ference in talent, and_ more especially the vast difference in time. It seems unnecessary to state that one could hardly approach “Medea” and the Junior Show by the same route. We don’t. Last year’s Arts’ Night, to jump into the fray, was a disappointing performance, with the exception of one very good play and the singing of the double octet. The News was first to encourage more creative activity, and we still are. But we do feel that bad art is worse than no art, and we were more than embarrassed by an almost one-woman show which purported to be the best artistic work that Bryn Mawr could produce. On the other hand, the Varsity Players productions were, without exception, excellent. The News said so. The Fresh- man Show was capably handled and most’ entertaining. The News said so. The chorus had several brilliant recitals. The News said so. Perhaps the readers who glibly refer toour “panning policy” had better look again. We believe, as must everyone in this day, in the import- ance of art. We also believe that good art is absolutely nec- essary. The standard is high at Bryn Mawr, and we have always hoped that our criticism would only serve to make it higher. We have tried, also, to recognize the very real dif- ference between entertainment, where the A for effort be- longs, and art, where it has no place at any time. We have tried to indicate this differentiation in our reviewing; per- haps we have at times failed in making clear such a distinc- tion. If we have been too harsh, we are sorry. We welcome criticism on our criticism, since we aré’far from perfect. We have tried, however, to maintain complete integrity in our critical work, hoping to foster an ever-higher artistic con- sciousness and standard of production for Bryn Mawr. And we shall continue to do so. Current Events Common Room, November 3: “The purpose of the Un-American Activities Committee is to intim- idate all local liberal organizations to silence”, said Mr. Bachrach in presenting the problem of Civil Liberties and the Communist in- vestigations. He pointed out that this com- mittee has refused to define what is actually meant by “subversive activities’, although it atitacks “alienism”, “foreignism” and “com- munism.” The issue is serious, Mr. Bach- rach insists, because it supposes that national security is incompat- ible with freedom of thought. It assumes that the government must protect the people from themselves, and in so doing must label the Com. munist. He believes that Ameri- cans should judge the individual for what he says, rather than branding him and then letting him speak. The Loyalty Test, the Truman Executive Order and the Dies Com- mittee are all a result of America’s Red hysteria, Mr. Bachrach con- tinued. The cause for this hys- teria is the insecruity of the rul- ing class, which fears the inability of the present economic system to stand the test. This insecurity is evidenced by the fact that busi- ness, championing the challenged right of free enterprise, refuses to expand because it fears a depres- sion. We must eradicate our fear by solution in a preventative economic program, stressed Mr. Bachrach, rather than through escape by calling ‘names. This program would include price control, full employment and an integrated do- mestic and foreign policy. Vocational Comm. To Alter System The needs of undergraduates ‘who are looking for jobs, or who are interested in knowing the re- quirements of a particular kind of ‘work were discussed at a tea spon- sored by The Vocational Commit- tee in co-operation with The Bu- reau of Recommendations on Oc- tober 29th. During the past few years the Vocational Committee has present- ed a series of speakers to explain the work of their fields. These meetings have been attended prin- cipally by students majoring in those fields. The small number of people who attend these discus- sions is an indication that a new system is needed. Nancy Martin, ’49, chairman of the Vocational Committee, express- ed its desire to revamp the pro- gram to meet student demands. A particular aim of the committee is to interest freshmen and sopho- mores who might find vocational discussions a valuable aid in select- ‘ing major subjects. The plan which is being used at Swarthmore was suggested. This plan consists of devoting one day to vocations, with speakers repre- senting a variety of fields giving talks throughout the day. Another suggestion was made that the various departments should sponsor teas at which a panel of faculty and grad students from the departments should dis- cuss jobs in their fields. This pro- posal received strong support from the group at the meeting. A poll is to be taken of the en- tire student body to decide which system would best answer their needs. Included in this poli will be a list of fields from which the student may select those in which she is most interested so _ that speakers may be selected. ties. News Policy Criticized: Adverse Reviews Denounced To the Editor: Every time anyone on this cam- pus tries to create life or spirit, the News steps in to kill the spark. Since the News panned the Broad- way play “Medea” praised _ by Brooks Atkinson of The Times, I should have known that such soph- omoric criticism would have been applied to the Junior Show. With more astuteness Miss Townsend perhaps would have realized that the fundamental purpose of the play was to be “corny.” My gripe is not with the pseudo- sophisticated criticism of the Jun- ior Show alone, but with the criti- cism of every creative endeavor on campus. What is the good of de- structive criticism when the pro- duction will never be given again? Isn’t it more to the benefit of nil to criticize in such a way as to further enthusiasm for such activi- The News could have such a }real part in initiating enthusiasm rand spirit on campus. It could be the source of much stimulating thought and activity instead of the killjoy it is now. Last year when this same point came up in regard to Arts Night, the News said it, too, was an artis- tic expression and criticism its art. Despite the fact that I feel that the News falls far short of this goal, I question whether the purpose of the News is artistic ex- pression. Since it is the only news- paper on campus I feel it is its duty to be a vital accelerator not a dragging brake. What difference does it make if flaws in certain, efforts are left un- covered? Isn’t the effort behind a product the most important thing? We all realize when we start out on a project it may not reach per- fection or even completion, but what we have gained by working together is so much more impor- tant than any failure in the final product. Another point brought out last year was that we should be “old” enough to accept such criticism. Mature criticism is worth while but it must be remembered that age does not bring immunity to discouragement. I wish the Editors would ponder their policy, seek other opinions on campus and see whether The News can’t prove to be the necessary or- gan it might be. Sincerely yours, Margo Vorys, ’49. To the Editor: We think the “panning” of cam- pus productions in the College News should be a closed chapter. Such a write-up as that of the Jun- ior Show is pointless and needle ly harsh; it only serves to hurt the feelings of the people who are “panned” and should not be the proving ground for critical talent. This applies to Art’s Night, the freshman hall plays, and _ the Freshman Show as well. These are amateur theatrical productions —to be distinguished from professional shows of Broad- way and from the varsity club plays which obviously aim at a perfection unattainable without professional direction and greater time for rehearsal. The Junior Show was whipped up very rapidly but with a great deal of effort and sacrificed time on the part of many. The juniors had fun giving it and the audience seemed to ‘en- joy it despite its obvidus flaws which merely added to the fun and informality of the occasion; this one would never know from the review. Every statement of some- what qualified praise is followed by a de-bunking phrase, for exam- ple “The crowd scenes were color- ful but apt to get flabby,” the kick- chorus was shapely, from the knee down, the tunes were good but not Logic, Not Propaganda, Is Weapon Against ~ Communism To the Editor: My commendations to the author of the Editorial this week entitled “Americanism: Theory .and Prac- tice.” It seems unbelievable that Communism has become $0 terrible a bogey that more and more people are unable to think clearly about it and have become convinced that protection from it lies in persecu- tion. Creeds and concepts are nev- er effectively fought by nervous propaganda such as the Hollywood hearings. They can only be fought once they have been fully under- stood, and then, by the same logic out of which they have been con- structed. We cannot afford to fight Com- munism with its own political weapons—repression and totalitar- ianism. But we can and should fight it with its own intellectual weapons—logic and an economic ideal. Arbitrary trials and. general accusations do not come under this heading. Pat Hochschild, 48. Students Believe Sane Probe of Communism Is Important To the Editor: We feel that the editorial “Americanism: Theory and Prac- tice,” presents both sides of the picture only superficially; it is not well thought: out. The fundamen- tal issue seems to us to be not so 4much that investigations are being conducted as the question of how they are being conducted. If one opposes investigation of Communism, then one necessarily tolerates in this country its prac- tices and principles. If one sup- ports the investigations, one ex- presses a belief that democratic in- stitutions need a certain amount of protection. What sort of protec- tion is the most efficient? The editorial finds the Hollywood con- gressional investigation unsatis- factory. So do we all. It seems to us that the FBI or Military In- telligence are the appropriate in- vestigators. It is a question of weighing the “civil liberties” of the Communist group against its advocation of a form of govern- ment under which civil liberties as we know them are practically nil. We can’t call political investiga- tion ipso facto persecution. While we do not condone general accusations and _ congressional courts, we consider impartial, sane investigation for the determination of who Communists are and what they are doing important and ne- cessary. Betty Ann Wortham, ’48. Theo Holland, ’48. out of the ordinary and so forth. Obviously, the reviewer missed the point of much of the humor. The jokes were exactly as intend- ed, corny. And the large number of parts, especially small ones was. also as intended—a show aims to include.everyone-in the fun, not. to pick professional dramatic tal- ent. Then, too, the audience seem- ed to think the plot machine one :0f the show’s more amusing high- lights — pointing up a weakness perhaps, but at least they were the first to laugh at themselves. One major item our reviewer seems to have overlooked is that this feeble effort which “lacked fi- nesse” netted approximately $500 for the Alumnae Dirve, a feat for which we feel the directors and all the juniors who contributed their time, talents and good spirits to the production of the show, are very greatly to be praised.

Intercollegiate Hockey Among the partici- pating colleges were Swarthmore, Drexel, Beaver, Wilson, Ursinus, West Chester, Temple, Chestnut Hill, Penn and Bryn Mawr. Goergia Johnson, ’51, and Sheila Baton, 50, of Bryn Mawr, were chosen to play goal and center for- ward, respectively, on the Intercol- legiate First Team. The first team ineludes three from Ursinus; four from Penn, one from Beaver and Betts McClure, ’48, Bryn Mawr, was chosen to one from Temple. New Deal Compared To Jacksonian Gov't Continued from Page 1 regimes they followed, both of! spread discontent. The personal re- samblances between Jackson and Roosevelt were also mentioned. In the institution of reforms there is also a parallel between | these two presidents. Both ex- perimented with personnel and in- creased the power of the executive, thus coming into conflict, Jackson with Congress and Roosevelt with the Supreme Court. The founda- tion of the “kitchen cabinet” or “brain trust” to supplement the usual cabinet is another feature common to both. * The response to the presidential appeal for support over the Con- gress or the Court has come, ac- cording to Prof. Schlesinger, from “all sorts of people united by dis- like of rule in the community.” In both cases the business community suffered the same kind of nervous break-down and the impulse for re- form exhausted itself inthe it way.
