ee oe, ae VOL. XLVIIi, NO. 5 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1951 Fairfield Osborn Expands on Film Of Conservation “Is there any reason why we Americans should assume and be persuaded that we are better than other people’? This was the op- ening remark made by Mr. Fair- field Osborn in his address enti- tled Conservation and You giver on Tuesday, October 23 at 8:30 in Goodhart Music Room. “We actu- ally have less right”, he answered, because although we have estab- lished our own social and cultural ideas and are becoming Ameri- cans, we have not, in the last sev- eral generations, removed our- selves from our Old World heri- tage. In addition to the peoples of the world, we are indebted to the resources of our land which virtually have created our econ- omy and even institutions such as Bryn Mawr. Yours Is The Land, the movie shown midway in Mr. Osborn’s ad- dress depicted vividly the depend- ence of every type of life, up to and including man, on _ living things on the earth. In the era of the world’s creation, more than adequate resources existed for the animal life that followed, but man, in his ascendency, has allowed need, ignorance, and greed to de- plete his land. It is true, science is rapidly advancing the develop- ment of conservation methods, but only man can manage and phys- ically control the nature of which he is so great a part. Mr. Osborn pointed out that be- cause of this ignorance and greed, countries exemplifying the epitome of development such as Greece and Rome, have fallen. The for- mula is still the same for manag- ing resources as it was in those Continued on Page 6, Col. 1 Thon Sets Oct. 24th For Othello Tryouts The Bryn Mawr College Theatre will present Shakespeare’s Othello in Goodhart Auditorium on No- vember 30 and December 1. The production will mark the first Shakespearean play to be enacted at Bryn Mawr since King Lear in 1948. The production staff includes the following: stage manager, Bobbie Lese; assistant stage man- ager, Bev Singer; business man- ager, Helen Dobbs; lights, Peasy Laidlaw. Mr. Frederick Thon, director, has stated that he has a “talented production crew”. He is sure that the tryouts will bring the cast which is needed. Tryouts were held at Haverford last night and are being conducted at Bryn Mawr this evening. Even though Othello includes only three female roles, there is room for six to eight act- resses as principals, understudies, _ and clowns. The play will be performed with only one intermission. “There is a difficult problem in presenting an Elizabethan play within the proscenium stage of Goodhart Hall”, Mr. Thon said. “This pro- duction must be different from the Lear and must take advantage of ‘every staging possibility”.

Not only were the actors well cast and well versed, but the choice of the three pieces evidenced good theatre and good taste. Though it would seem that only the actors themselves are of any great importance in the per- formance of a play, nevertheless the reviewer would do well to look away from the stage action for a second, to watch the audience. If they are restive and bored, then what is going on behind the footlights is rarely well done. lf, on the other hand, they are at- tentive and alert ,the players are undoubtedly doing a good job. This latter was definitely the case for the Haverford productions, and Eugene O’Neill’s play, “In the Zone” provided excellent seri- ous ballast. for the two lighter Continued on Page 5, Col. 1 F. Daniels Opens Crenshaw Series The James Liewellen Crenshaw Lectures, named in memory of Dr. Crenshaw, Professor of Phys- ical Chemistry at Bryn Mawr for twenty-five years, will open on Monday, October 29th at 8:30 in Goodhart Hall. The lectures, part of a program of the Committee on the Coordination of the Sciences, have as their topic “Sources of Energy”, chosen because of Dr. Crenshaw’s interest in the rela- tion of science to other human affairs. The first lecture, “Man’s Sources of Energy”, will be given by Farrington Daniels, professor of Physical Chemistry at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Author of several textbooks, Mr. Daniels is credited with writing the most widely-used book in Physical Chemistry, “Outlines of Physical Chemistry”. Besides his work as professor and author, Mr. Daniels has had experience in several other capa- cities—from 1943 to 1944, he was a member of the War Production Attention, students and fac- ulty!

This proposal was drawn up by the Undergrad Council so that the responsibility of the NSA could fall to one person who would be effective because of her active membership in student govern- ment.

P. Herbert remarks that his masterful satiric comedy is “a shameful attempt to uplift a mod- ern theme by clothing it in Shake-, spearean language. Some may think the play wordy, but then there are those brutes who think Shakespeare wordy”. He neglects to say, undoubtedly because it is so obvious to the audience, that it is also one of the most uproarious take-offs on both modern mores and Shakespeare to have walked the planks of the theatre. And the wordiness is in a large measure responsible for the wittiness.

This year the upper classmen di- rectors are to act mainly in an ad- visory capacity. The plays will be performed in Skinner Workshop on two successive evenings.

Wagoner Outlines County Defense Program Dr. George Wagoner, head of the civilian defense health services of Montgomery County, spoke about the over-all Civil Defense program for this area, and ex- plained especially the role that Bryn Mawr College would play in the event of an attack, as he open- ed the modified nurses’ aide pro- gram in the Common Room on Oc- tober 22. Civil defense, he emphasized, ‘is a pfotective mechanism, predi- cated on the fear that an unan- nounced attack will be made”. The Philadelphia-New York area would be exceptionally open to attack be- cause of the large concentration of manufacturing and population in a relatively small area. Civil de- fense would minimize human dan- ger and lessen suffering, but would | not be connected with the military |except in saving manpower. Dr. Wagoner briefly outlined the organization from the co-or- dinating commission set up by act of Congress down through the state governors to the local level, | or, in Pennsylvania, the counties. | Funds are being used discrimin ately, and there is no bureaucracy, and only a few paid positions, mostly secretarial, he emphasized. Last winter, an estimate was made of the damage that would be done by two atomic bombs drop- ped nearby, one in the Frankford area, and one at Sixty-third and Market streets. In such a blast, Lower Merion Township would suffer three thousand of the es- timated half million casualties, and with the panic of fleeing peo- ple and a lack of supplies and care for the injured, chaos would exist.

Invites Devotees To Tea Especially contributed by Lita Hahn, ’52 The Art Department has felt that something should be done to stimulate and organize the inter- est in Art on campus. People have expressed interest in a wide variety of things: knowing about art publications, shows in New York, Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia, exhibits that might be brought to Bryn Mawr, the Student Loan pictures, lectures on how to buy prints, on furniture, elementary classes in drawing, discussions on art in general, and the interest in the Studio of which so few of us take advan- tage. Because the Art Depart- ment is aware of this interest and wants to do its best to aid and abet in any way it can, Dr. ‘Sloane, as chairman of the de- partment, invites anyone and everyone with any kind of interest in Art to have tea and exchange ‘ideas Friday afternoon at 4:15 in the Common Room, and hopes to find out what Bryn Mawr would like to do to channel its general interest. in matters artistic. half an hour for each play.

One, to check the illegal disappearance of statues from Taylor basement; the Editor Rescheduling Suggested For Conflicting. Activities October 22,1951 To the Editor: We feel that in the event of a disaster the college should not be obliged to evacuate a large num- ber of useless students. For this reason, it is imperative that as many students as possible take, if not the eighty-hour, at least the sixteen-hour Nurse’s Aide course. It is our observation that the 5 o’clock to 6 o’clock meetings of extracurricular activities conflict with these courses. We therefore suggest that such extracurricular activities be re-scheduled, since we believe that many potentially useful people are prevented from taking the Nurse’s Aide course only by their previous extradite | ricular commitments. It is of course evident that in event of an emergency no extracurricular or- ganization will be of the slightest! importance. Sincerely, Mary Eugenia Chase, 52 Elizabeth George Foulke, ’52 Mary Elizabeth Henderson, ’°53 When taken down several years ago they were offered to another institution which has not as yet claimed them. Until it does, halls may exhibit the busts pub- licly with permission from the President’s Office. Lastly, that we may be received back into the marmoreal bosom of our hall: Radnor was no less gullible than the rest of the cam- pus, but took a stauncher ethical stand and wishes to be exonerated from any complicity in the matter. Meal Exchange Plan It is always a pleasant courtesy to be able to invite a friend for dinner, whether at home or at college, and it is natural to balk at the idea that this custom, at least at col- lege, cannot be as casually taken for granted as previously. The recent announcement that exchange meals must be care- fully regulated has met with many questions as to why, this year, such a careful check is necessary. The reason for the more rigid policy is simply that each hall on campus is filled to capacity, and there is no free place in any dining hall when every student comes to dinner. Difficulty arises from the fact that general campus spirit is lessened when one cannot seé a friend from another hall, or discuss a student project over lunch or dinner. There is also the rather frightening possibility that with no free exchange for meals, the halls may develop into seven sorority houses, each one only too separate unto itself. There is a solution to prevent this dif- ficulty, and if is here outlined to clarify former explanations: 1. Lunch, every day. A. Even exchange. E.g. a student in Rock has a guest from Rhoads and Rock sends a girl to Rhoads. There is no charge for the meal; there is no signup on the bulletin board. Y No outside guests are allowed. people not resident on campus. II. Dinner, every day. A. Even exchange, as defined above. B. Substitution. E.g. Rock has a guest from Rhoads, because a student from Rock is dining off campus. There is no charge for this, but the small slips in the dining room are signed under exchange, not under guest. The girl inviting a guest must sign her own name on the bulletin board before 2 p.m. opposite the name of a girl signed out for dinner. If no one is signed out for dinner, a guest may not come. Outside guests are allowed, but there is a charge. They must be signed for before 2 p.m. as described above. Points to remember. “Outside guests” are III. A. For direct exchange at lunch, no signing of meal slips on bulletin boards is needed. For a direct exchange at dinner, no signing of mea! slips:on bulletin-boards is needed. For substitution at dinner, those going out to dinner must so indicate by signing their names before two o’clock, and those wishing to effect a substitution must sign their own names and the number of guests they are having to dinner. . Those having outside guests for dinner must also sign their own names and the number of guests they are having to dinner. There is a charge for outside guests, but for nobody else. To make this system work is entirely the responsibility of the students of the college. Those people who sign out to dinner must go out to dinner—they cannot change their minds at the last minute. Students must very nearly form a habit of signing “Out to Dinner” slips before two—i. e. im- mediately after lunch. If this plan works out successfully, then it is feasible that in the future lunch substitutions might become practicable, and the old custom of having far- ulty members to lunch could be revived. But success or fail- ure rests entirely with the students of the college. A plan such as this, though it may seem an unnecessary und irksome bother, will not only avoid confusion for stu- dents and managers, but will be good college economy as well. Hall managers will know how many people to expect, and the expensive process of preparing too much food in case of unexpected guests will be unnecessary, so that food bills may be considerably cut. Perhaps five people for dinner, more or less, seems an inconsequential amount when com- pared to.the huge supply of groceries the college must pur- chase, but in more specific terms, food—and the cost—for a family of five is no small amount. College economy is very important, for aside from the fact that economy may on oc- casion prevent a meal exchange, it is also necessary to econ- omize so that room and board prices will not be increased. Even functioning smoothly for the freest possible ex- change of students for meals, this plan may need amendment or improvement. The NEWS would be happy to publish any and all signed letters and suggestions on the subject. B. C. E. Othello Tryouts are being held in Goodhart this evening, wa Current Events Douglas Kelley Explains Technical Relief Program On Monday, October 22, at 7:15 p.m. in the Common Room, Doug- las Kelley, former chairman of SDA, delivered a talk on What Point Four Means to You, describ- ing the opportunities available for taking part in the Technical As- sistance Programs for under-de- veloped areas of the world. Mr, Kelley’s chief affiliation is with the International Develop- ment Association, whose main objective is to organize, train, and send teams to Africa and In- dia to provide social and technical aid for the inhabitants. The workers will be trained to instruct the population in methods of fiscal policy, simple industry, agriculture, public health, and ed- ucation. Mr. Kelley stressed the fact that these missionaries will be closely associated with the youth groups within the various countries so as not to give the im- pression of forcing foreign ways upon them but rather of a desire to help them improve their stan- dards of living from within. Applicants Rough It The individuals who apply for jobs with these groups are warn- ed that they will be “roughing it”—-will be living under the same conditions and eating the same kind of food as the villagers. Some will receive a salary but others will be serving only on a voluntary basis. Women are especially needed in the International Development Association’s program to show the villagers the methods of nutrition, childeare, sewing, sanitation, and how to produce simple handicraft articles which might possibly be exported for re-sale in other parts of the world. Schools and courses are now being established to instruct those interested in the rudiments of education and demonstration as well as in social anthropology, and the history and language of the area to which they will be sent, CALENDAR Continued from Page 1 ture, Common Room.

But for one ~week such frustrations may be shelved, for in the Goodhart Com- ‘mon Room, are a group of paint- ings that give one the “right” feel- ing, and the right price. Mr. Lyn- field Ott has put up fourteen oil paintings and about a dozen min- atures, mostly still lifes, that have a richness of color and a spontaneity both interesting and likeable. Mr. Ott, who has studied at the Rhode Island School of De- sign and under the eminent Japan- ese painter, Kuniyoshi, remarked at’ the opening of the exhibit last Monday evening, that the paint- ings were “among the less ambi- tious aspect of his paintings”. ‘However, even if the more ambi- Continued on Page 6, Col. 4 | men, Monsieur Gonnaud of French Dept.

M. Gonnaud received a more intense impression of New York. “It is like the successful reali- zation of a new way of life: the skyscrapers, the movement in the streets, everything combines to create a twentieth century city. This is very stimulating, but it must be difficult to escape from the current to rest or think”. “Of course the first thing that a teacher from abroad notices about an American college is the easy relation between professor and student. I had already discovered a somewhat similar way of think- ing in England, but I found that Cloisters Witness Lantern C eremony With the sound of clanging chains, rattling lanterns and the hallowed words of “Pallas Athene”, the cloisters of Bryn Mawr officially welcomed another freshman class. Green lanterns burning brightly entered, solemn- ly accompanied by the majestic hymn to the Goddess of Wisdom. Under the watchful eye of the cloisters each freshman received her lantern and thereby became a recognized member, a real part of Bryn ‘Mawr. The blue lanterns of the lantern swingers changed to red and the graceful strains of “Sophias” filled the cloisters and mounted to the sky.

Five I.C.G.Chapters Sponsor Tea Oct. 31 The ICG chapters of five col- leges will sponsor a tea in the Common Room on October 31, at 4:30. Students and advisors from Harcum, Rosemont, Beaver, and Chestnut Hill, as well as those from Bryn Mawr, will participate. The purpose of the tea is the stimulation of interest in the in- tercollegiate conference that will be held in Harrisburg next spring. An effort will be made to strengthen the regional repre- sentation. “ Committees of Bryn Mawr stu- dents have been named to help with the preparations of the tea. The welcoming committee, in charge of name tags and regis- tration, is as follows: Kay Sherman, Chairman; Phyll Stephen, Carrie Richmond, Liz Degendorf, Julie Heimowitz, Kit- ty Beck, Duch Walton, Jo Case. Responsible for food are: Sue Zorn, Chairman; Jan Grimming- er, Leslie Kaplan, Mary Jane Chubbuck, Charlotte Drabkin, Bo Zabko, Edie Shwab, Lynn Kil- bourne. Cad- in France the students are .so ac- customed to the professor’s keep- ing a dignified distance, that they. do not easily welcome another at- titude in a professor’. ‘Bryn Mawr students strike M. Gonnaud as being very wide awake. “The system of extra-curricular activities may divert too much of the student’s energy from her work, but it tends to make her more alert at an age when she is naturally rather self-centered. In France we err in the other direc- tion. The French university stu- dent is completely alone, and must inevitably take himself very ser- iously. “Young people need to be pro- tected against some of the force of their own mistakes, and this is one of the purposes college fulfills. “In France right after the wara large number of very young peo- ple were faced with the problems of adults, and experienced a mo- ment of bewilderment, which showed their need”, Perhaps at present, M. Gonnaud agreed, Americans welcome for- eigners more easily into their hearts than the older traditional- ist French families, but, he added, the young people of France, who since the war have travelled to every neighboring country, are rapidly breaking down the old bar- riers. Monsieur Gonnaud says he likes to see people having as much fun as they do here at school. He is cordially invited to take part in our fun.

LAST NIGHTERS Don’t Bet on ‘Number’, New Melodrama At Walnut Especially contributed by Margie Cohn Blum, 52 A far-from-SRO crowd witness- ed “a new melodrama by Arthur Carter” at the Walnut. The sim- ple title of said dramatic work is The Number, and concerns _it- self (if not the audience) with the prevalent numbers and_ betting profession and its consequences. The |plot, in brief, involves an affair between one of the switch- board girls in a betting establish- ment, and a bookie. This charm- ing relationship is imperiled since Maury, the boss of the central em- ployment agency, forbids such go- ings on because he is afraid that his girls might turn him into: a one-way cash register. Sylvia (Lydia Reed), the wom. an in question, has an estranged husband and a daughter, who serve the plot by making the al- ready unpopular relationship even more so. Also figuring in the odds against Sylvia are her parents who like their son-in-law, and don’t want their daughter’s life ruined by the gambler, Dominick Spizzilini (Dane Clark). These parents seem to be the prototypes of the Goldbergs of radio fame, and as such carry their parts well. The dialogue is more trite than somewhat, and if one were to blink one’s eye, one might imagine| ; oneself confronted with a mid- afternoon soap opera, minus the commercial and station break. No deep emotion is aroused by either the situation, the conversation, or the acting except in a very few instances, as when “Mama Gold- berg” finds out what has happened to her daughter, or when the daughter herself realizes her mis- take. The climax of this gripping drama occurs when Alice, another switchboard girl, reveals that Spiz- zilini has gone through the same routine with her the previous year, enabling Sylvia to realize that her lover is just using her for his own purposes. Despite the fact that the major- ity of the acting is mediocre, there are a few good character parts which compensate a bit for the other dubious features.

After the war, various institutions such as this group of four colleges took up where the A.F.S.C. left off and organized their own units. The purposes of the ISU are to provide service to state institu- tions, to educate unit members for responsible citizenship in their own communities, and to increase understanding between such in- stitutions and the public. The work at the hospital con- sisted of the duties of a regular attendant, the specific work vary- ing with the particular ward. Unit members were spread over almost every type of ward in the hospi- tal, although several often work- ed in the same building. Unit members lived in two dorms provided by Haverford Col- The final article in the Junior Year in France series will ap- pear in next week’s issue. lege and commuted to the hospi- tal. One of the great advantages of working as a unit was the kind of group life it provided. The unit gave both relief from the work on the wards and mutual help and moral support through discussion of ward problems. The group as a whole organized activities such as swimming parties, baseball, and square dances, The hospital administration has been very receptive to units. Once again members were allowed the special privileges of attending staff meetings where individual patients were interviewed, dis- cussed, and diagnosed, and of read- ing the case histories of patients on their own wards. The hospital provided a series of lectures on the basics of abnormal psychology which, plus the speakers invited Continued on Page 4, Col. 4 Non-Reses Enlarge Acquaintanceships At Rhoads Tea & Lantern Night Party by Emmy Cadwalader, °53 This last week has been a very social one for the non-resident students. On nday, October 15, the non-res warden, Miss Mott, who is also the warden of Rhoads South, gave a tea for the group in the Rhoads showcase. It was an excellent and much _ needed party, because it made it possible for all the students to get to- gether and know one another, It has always been difficult in the past for the non-res students to function as a group, due to the fact that they are never all around at the same time. This year, thanks to a good start at this party, it is hoped that they will be able to work together more often, as the enthusiasm is definitely there. Mrs. Paul also came, and after the discussion of many old prob- lems that have always hindered the group, many worth while so- lutions were offered. It was also decided to redecorate the non-res room, which is in the basement of |the library and is very much in ) need of fresh paint, curtains, more furniture that is comfortable, and a little bit of gaiety here and there. Color schemes and ideas sprang up from all over the room, and during the winter the whole group is going to work on the overhauling. On Lantern Night the Non-res’s gave a party themselves for the freshmen. Many brought their parents and dates, and the com- mon room was transformed into a gay crowd of people drinking cider and, munching doughnuts. After a happy’ interlude from the college routine, everyone hurried off to cram just a little more for the French Oral the next morn- ing. Non-res parties are always amusing and entertaining, be- cause the group is made up of so many different types. Some are married, while others have part-time jobs. If you haven’t the time to take the marriage lec- tures, any married non-res can tell you how to cook a pea, and some can even give you needed point- ers on how to bring up baby.

Roger Euster, as Withers, cre- ated a perfect caricature of the arteestic writer, but found his aspirations of matrimony with Laetitia (Danny Luzzato) frus- trated by the decadent young lady’s righteous concern over the Dutchess’ unseemly conduct. After heartrending self reproaches for not having warned the Duchess, who is her mother, about the evils of the naked world, Laetitia verb- | ally solves her problem quite simply: “But take my mother to a nunnery”. ‘A private detective employed, | iby the Duke, to ferret out the | Duchess’s _infidelities, introduced | further complexities. Robin Nev-! itt was particularly good at im- personating not only the cloaked investigator, but also the cloaked investigator when he impersonat- ed the Duke.

Mrs. John Lester, as Topsy, the bar maid, promptly revealed her geneology by emotionlessly commenting “Oh sir, you’ve killed my father,” and with equal cas- ualness fell dead upon the flat- foot’s lifeless body. Like a chain of dominoes, the remaining characters one by one delivered appropriately verbose commentaries on their dying states, staggered and fell, only to! rise again and add postscriptive evitaphs. This exaggeratedly anti- climactic scene, which concluded the “Two Gentlemen of Soho”, was climatic in its varied styles of ex- piring and general excellence. Congratulations to the director, Wayne C. Booth, and his assistant, Frederic C. Jameson, for their flavorful interpretation as well as to the dramatis personae for their finesse, all of which resulted in a highly hilarious production. { a) MISS NOIROT “Gowns of Distinction” Lancaster Avenue Bryn Mawr Friends’ Society Thanks Students Alice Hartman, chairman of the Bryn Mawr chapter of Students for Democratic Action, received a letter early in September from the American Friends’ Service Committee, thanking her for last year’s Bryn Mawr contribution to the grain for India fund. One hundred and _ sixty-four dollars were sent, one ‘hundred dollars from the USF and sixty-four dol- lars from money made through the Alliance’s lemonade sales. The shipments of foodstuffs to | India that the Friends’ Committee has made tg date are as follows: 73,680 pounds of wheat shipped in.

Also notice- ably good is Anatole ‘Winogradoff as Hyman Berger, Sylvia’s uncle, and another employee of Maury. This little man, afraid of his boss, and wishing to protect his niece, captivates the audience with his rapid speech and comical manner. Dane Clark is good, but not out- standing, as the lead. The only moral one can derive from this production is that crime, after all, does pay. Maury was not punished for his gambling activi- ties, Sylvia was only mentally chastised for her illicit love affair, and, probably only ‘because some- thing just had to happen, Spizzilini was shot in the last act.

When the players have more time to get used to each other, they will be able to develop more team-work, but so far they have been switch- ed around too much, as is always true at the beginning of a season. In the Second Team game Temple was not outstanding. Both teams were evenly matched, and it was again the lack of rush- ing on the part of the forwards |that the Bryn Mawr team didn’t do better. The forwards played well in the field, and there were quite a number of good triangle passes and_.other examples of teamwork. Actually Bryn Mawr out-played Temple, and only lost by a score of 3-2, when Temple scored a goal late in the game. The two Bryn Mawr goals were scored by Muir and Tilson. As in the first team game, the backs played excellently, with many amazing saves on the part of the goal keeper. - Temple’ definitely outplayed Bryn Mawr in the Third Team game, winning by the score of 5-0, but the hockey on the whole was not good on the part of either team. Bryn Mawr played hard, but Temple was faster and quick- er. One cannot judge the Bryn Mawr team harshly as very few of the players had ever played to- gether. A number of girls who should have played were taken away by the geology field trip that day also; so that Bryn Mawr had a definite disadvantage, and did extremely well considering it.

His timely advice was endless- ly advocated by the members of the chorus who were arrayed in pajamas, tastefully covered over with bathrobes. To the flirtatious and delightful upstaging indulged in by Mrs. Taylor and the Janitor, Mr. Taylor remained properly aloof and conservatively kept his attention fixed upon their perilous plight.

The story of men on a British ship of war in 1915, “In the Zone” is the uncomfortably accurate, picture of men at sea and at perilous odds with one of their mates, whom they suspect as a spy. Joseph H, Stein, in the role of Smitty, the drunkard, for- saken by his love and pitifully hiding a packet of her letters— not a bomb—from his mates, was convincing and pathetic in a dif- ficult part. Eric Blanchard was well-cast as Driscoll, the impetu- ous “young one” unhappy to be aboard a ship at all, particularly if one of his comrades proved to be a German spy. He was fine as the tense boy still very young in a grown up situation. Professor Kenneth Woodroofe of the Haver- ford faculty, supplied wonderful comedy relief as the outraged lummox who manages to get him- self kicked in a skirmish with ‘Smitty. His timing and de- livery were as good as his com- edy. As Scotty, Robert Matte- son was natural and at ease as he intently peered out at Smitty who was apparently standing in the ‘audience (and therefore was three inches away!) This takes poise and ability, and Scotty had both, The action throughout was not only well sustained, but full of genuine edge-of-the-seat kind of suspense that can only come when a serious performance is completely away from the melo- ‘dramatic or hammy, and these were serious performances. Had they been overdone, or poorly ‘acted, the close proximity that is the essence of Theatre-in-the- Round would have made it ten times worse. John Allen, as ‘Swanson, and Philip Howorth as Ivan, were somehow perfectly right for their roles—perhaps be- cause they woke up, dragged themselves out, and ate breakfast realistically, and with almost no props, a task not as easy as it might seem. Richard Lingeman was terse and decisive as Jack, the sailor enough removed from the situation to be able to-debunk ‘the suspicions of the men, yet ap- prehensive enough to help trap ‘Smitty. In a group of polished and forceful performances, David C. MacTye was outstanding in the ‘difficult and all essential role of Davis, the brutally probing insti- gator of the ruthless examination of Smitty’s personal life. The overall smoothness and excellent pace of “In the Zone” are much to his credit, éspecially because he so clearly set the pace at the beginning. The dialect deserves special mention—from Ivan’s hard Slavic to Scotty’s burr, it was easy and believable, for the words were in- flected as well as pronounced, Director Thomas A. Wood, and his assistant Charles Fry deserve |. Becker Speaks For German Club At the first joint meeting of the Bryn Mawr and Haverford Ger- man Clubs, Tuesday evening, Oc- tober 16, Virginia Reese, presi- dent, outlined the program for the coming year and introduced Ingrid Becker, a graduate stu- dent, who discussed student life in Germany and America. Having been in America only three weeks, Miss Becker said her statements about student life here were mostly impressions, and devoted the main part of her discussion to life in Germany. The first great difference be- tween students of the two coun- tries is that in Germany the stu- dent enters a university with the equivalent of an A.B. There is no distinction between graduate and undergraduate schools. Every stu- dent entering a university has matriculated from a Gymnasium, where he has studied eight or nine years. As a result, the av- erage age of those entering the university is nineteen years. This, along with a more thorough edu- cation, makes the university stu- dent more decided in his course of study than a college student here. Friendliness Impressive One of the characteristics of college life in America with which Miss Becker was greatly impress- ed, was the friendliness that ex- ists between student and profes- sor. In Germany, when a sem- inary discussion is called for, “the Professors are held in such great awe, that no one dares to dis- cuss”, The gap between students and professors is something which modern Germany is trying to overcome. Most striking of all, is the contrast between facilities for students in America and those in Germany. There are no women’s colleges and only one or two res- ident halls for girls at a German university. As a result students live in “digs”, or rented rooms, without benefit of dormitory life. The situation for men is slightly better. They have ‘Verbindungen’, or student organizations which house students and provide places for them to relax. These Verbin- dungen are similar to American fraternities, and were formerly only for the rich, but since the war, most of the students have found themselves unable to live on such. a high plane. The problem for students now is to get money to build dormi- tories and student unions where there .are facilities for social life. A few club houses have been do. nated to Berlin University by American soldiers, and_ these have been appreciated beyond measure. Miss Becker’s discussion with the Geiman Club constituted the first rrogram of the year, Plans for the coming months inclv.ie a lecture in the Common Room by Dr. Kohn to Talk About UN Oct. 24 ‘Hans Kohn, Professor of His- tory at the City College of New York, will speak on the subject “A UN Balance Sheet, 1946-1951” at the Haverford College Union on United Nations day, October 24, at 7:45. He will visit the campus as guest of the Public Affairs As- sociation. Professor Kohn, who received his degree of Doctor of Laws from the German University in Prague, witnessed conditions during the Russian revolution firsthand as a prisoner of war. After years in Europe and the Middle East, he came to America in 1981 as lectur- er for the New School for Social Research in New York. Since then he has taught history and interna- tional relations at Harvard, Yale, the Universities of California and Colorado, Radcliffe, and Mount Holyoke. He is the author of eighteen books, of which the_last’ three, “The Idea of Nationalism”, “Force or Reason”, and “The Twentieth Century”, are particularly out- standing. Student Concerts To Start Nov. 11 The Bryn Mawr College Music Club is again planning a series of concerts for faculty, students, and friends of the college. The first concert of the season will be held in the Gertrude Ely Room of Wyndham on Sunday, November 11, at five p. m., when Jack Maxin, a young pianist, will give a recit- al. Since the Club has no provision method of ticket sale would in- volve an entertainment tax, tic- kets are sold on a series subscrip- tion basis, for five dollars. How- ever, members can bring guests for single concerts’ by paying a dollar. In-past years there have been five concerts a season, though only the first concert can be plan- ned before the subscriptions have been sold; eighty-five members are needed if the club is to present five concerts and remain solvent. The musicians presented by the club are usually advanced stu- dents from the Curtis Institute, though last year the Gotham Brass Ensemble of New York played in the Deanery, and in the previous year a group from the Contempor- ary Music Center presented a pro- gram of modern compositions. There are not only individual art- ists, but also chamber groups ev- ery season, and music of various periods is played. Those who are interested in ob- taining a membership can send checks payable to the Bryn Mawr for deficits, and because any other! Film Forum Gives “Grapes of Wrath” On Thursday evening, October 18, in Goodhart auditorium, the Film Forum presented John Stein- beck’s The Grapes of Wrath, the first in a series of four outstand- ing movies to be shown on campus this year. The movie, despite sev- eral interruptions, was an arrest- ing portrayal of a family of Okla- homa farmers, the Joads. Driven from their farms by the encroach- ing Machine Age, this indomitable family refused to admit defeat and sought work and security in Cal- ifornia. The trip across country in an ancient and overcrowded au- tomobile was an “Odyssey of hope and courage coupled with struggle against terrifying persecution”. The film presentation of Stein- beck’s significant social novel was artistic and very moving. It was an excellent choice for the Film Forum to offer as their first pro- duction. L. Bellis Upbraids Philadelphia Gov't Attorney Isadore Bellis address- ed the Students for Democratic Action meeting Monday night, on the subject of Philadelphia gov- ernment and politics, especially in regard to the Democratic party’s role in the coming election. He cited the Republican reign in Philadelphia for the past sixty- three years as a period of com- plete corruption in city govern- ment and praised the work of Richardson Dilworth and Joseph S. Clark in strengthening the Democratic party and offering a more liberal, progressive govern- ment in place of the old-line Re- puiblican regime. The speaker explained that the Democrats campaigned for the new city charter, which co-ordin- ates the city and county of Phila- delphia, that will go into effect January 1, 1952. He declared that only one Democrat did not campaign for that charter, which found no support among the Re- publicans. The Republicans ob- jected to the new charter because it meant a decrease in patron- age ,and “it meant that a premium would be placed on good govern- ment, instead of excessive ex- penditure.”’ Mr. Bellis stated that the Republican city and county government exceeds the necessary expenditures by $13,000,000 a year. In briefly outlining the history of the growth of the Democratic party in the past four years, the lawyer spoke of the overwhelm- ing victory for that party’s ticket in 1949, In that year, the Demo- crats won by 12,000 votes.

Library Features Religious Pictures by Ellen Bell, 53 Religious prints from the col- lection in the George Binet Gal- lery are being shown and sold on the second floor of the library from October 18 to November 14. The modern artistic approach to religion has been most successful- ly employed and compares favor- ably with the etchings by Rem- brandt Van Rijn of the 17th cen- tury, also on display. An example of the modern prints is an etching and aquatint by Rouault called “Longtemps encore l’aveugle sera guide par le Paralitique”. This is of two figures which seem captur- ed for eternity in their expressions of mutual anguish. The heavy black with which they are lined makes the shapes similar to those in stained glass windows. The Mayan Madonna by Jean Charlot is, contrastingly, very peaceful. There is a great gentle- ness, especially in the curve of the hand which holds the baby’s head against the Madonna’s shoulder. It is simply drawn and, as the title suggests, the features of the Ma- donna and child have a primitive oriental quality about them. The shading is im long fine lines of vio- let and yellow-black. As the Mayan Madonna is influ- enced by Central America, so Christ Bearing the Cross by Bou- leau is influenced by Paris. The Eiffel tower is shown in the back- ground, Christ is escorted by two “agents”, and the windows of the building are framed by narrow long shutters. In this city scene, portrayed almost entirely in red brick, Christ is highlighted in white, and thick black outlines are used, similar to those in the Rou- ault. Saint Francis by Fritzi Brod is very precise and design-like. He is shown between two trees and the whole is done in chartreuse, brown- purple, and blue. The Last Day Christ by Peter Lipman-Wulf is etched in green-grey. The gigantic face looks.down-on. the small-help- less people sheltered by his large hands. There is much use of three- dimensional rectangular shapes, of the texture of smooth stone blocks. The bust of Christ looks like a great cliff on top of which is a jagged covering of thorns. In all these pictures we see re- ligion portrayed with power and individualism. They are pictures worth seeing. » Need A Job?

Osborn Emphasizes Need for Conservation Continued from Page 1 times; and present problems of growth and productivity of re- sources parallel those in man’s past ‘history. Increasing population in itself is a primary cause and major problem of conversion needs. In 1691, the world housed 500 million people; the populace has increas- ed to 2,200,000,000 and will prob- ably reach 3 million at the cen tury’s end. A fact adjacent to this is that 2 acres of land only are available per person throughout the world. These two facts com- bined offer proof, denuded of any misconception, that the land must be saved. The constant decline of the world’s forests is only one ex- ample to be considered . The bal- ance, now being striven for, can- not be reached until continuity of production and use have been reached. Four million owners hold the small wood lots of our nation and not until they realize the over- all scope of the problem can repro- duction function successfully. When three trees are no longer removed for every two replaced, the point of balance will be ap- proximately reached. Education of the world for the task of re-developing its resources is the immediate step that should be taken. Because six out of ten people live in cities, there is a vast unconsciousness of any problem at all! For this reason community in- terest is of vital significance. Mr. Osborn voiced his opinion that schools such as Bryn Mawr should advocate conservation courses; for a cultured mind has a_ working knowledge of the entire problem. Mr. Osborn applauded the work of the Federal Government in its conservation programs, but added that due to the number of branch- es entailed, there tends to be con- fusion that could be avoided by a National Reserve conservation pol- icy which would oversee it all. Only when we pause to consider our world’s bountiful possibilities can we realize how impossible it would be to exist should the pres- ent decline of resources be allow- ed to continue.

Dr. Wagoner heads the medica! division for the county, and charged with the task of finding space that could be converted into hospitals with trained personnel to supplement today’s woefully in- adequate facilities and staffs. He concentrated on the plans for dis- trict one of the county, with the Bryn Mawr hospital as the center, and neighboring schools utilized in an effort to have the requirec 5000 beds, where only 330 exist to- day. All private patients in the hospital would be evacuated te the grammar school across the street, with the exception of those in the maternity ward. The hospi- tal would be expanded to 1200 beds for the most serious surgical cases, and 2500 others for burns and fractures, in no way minor Cases, would be placed in the college. All the college facilities would be com- mandeered, the students who were serving no practical purpose would be evacuated home, and the others would be lodged in other schools in the vicinity. Haverford College would provide the space for the extra 1000-1200 beds that are needed. The schools and colleges of the area would also be looked to for the answer to the manpower prob- lem. Eight mobile first aid units, completely motorized and consist- ing of ‘200 people eath, would be available for service throughout the country, and other students may take the streamlined first aid course that will enable them to take care of themselves and oth- ers. It has been possible to cut down the time necessary for the course by excluding a great amount of material which would be unneces- sary in an emergency. “Bed”, as he used the word, meant merely a six by three floor area, Dr. Wag- oner said, and added that the usual hospital amenities would be total- ly lacking. The modified course will consist of ten lectures for each division, and six demonstration periods.
