Wednesday, October 31, 1951 THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Five Cam, Dulles to Compare Problems of Education Continued from Page 1 publishing several books on her field. Eleanor~L. Dulles, Diplomat Ec- onomist of the State Department, will discuss Germany and Austria. An A.B. and M.A. from Bryn Mawr College, 1917, and 1920, and Ph. D. from Radcliffe, Miss Dulles taught Labor Organization and Management at Bryn Mawr in 1928-30, and 1982-34. She served on the Old Age Pension Commit- tee of the Massachusetts State Legislature, and was a member of the Social Security Committee in 1936. ‘She is the author of many books on economics and was a member of the President’s Com- mittee on Employment in London, 1931. She is an economic, political, and statistical assistant on the fin- ancial and economic aspects of So- cial Security measures. Helen Hill Miller, who will be the moderator at the Round Table discussion on Sunday afternoon, is a Washington correspondent for Newsweek. (Miss Miller received her B. A. from Bryn Mawr in 1920, and Ph.D. from Chicago in 1921. ‘She was an agricultural writer for the U. S. Department of Agricul- ture from 1934 to 1940, and execu- tive director of the National Pol- icy Committee in 1940. Grazia Avitabile, professor of Italian and French at ‘Wheaton College, will speak on Learning under Italian Skies. Miss Avita- bile, brought up in Rome, receiv- ed her A.B. and M.A. at Smith and her Ph.D. at Bryn Mawr in 1942. She was with the Office of Strategic Services in Rome in 1944-45. She taught one year at Mt. Holyoke and one year at Mid- dlebury. Jane Bell Yeatman Savage, President of the Alumnae Associ- ation, 1951-54, will open the Week- end. Active in community affairs, she was Director of the Garden Clubs of America from 1947 to 1950, served on the Board of Man- agers of the Bathseda School for Girls from 1941 to 1949, and be- came alumnae president in 149. She also served on the Budgér Committee of the Philadelphia Community Chest’ in 1950.. Her Bryn Mawr activities include Re- gional Chairman of the B.M. Col- lege Fund in 1946, and Chairman of: the Deanery Executive Com- mittee, 1950-51. “ Mile. Germaine Bree, Professor of French at Bryn Mawr, will ‘The Potboilers’”’ and ‘Second Shepherd’s Play” Sustain High Quality of Freshman Productions Continued from Page 1 Corydon and Thyrsis with finish. They were able to adapt their very pleasing voices to the expression of a growing distrust and greed punctuated by vague recollections of former love and happiness. The scene, 'which ends in murder, is difficult to play with tact: it must be sufficiently felt to be convine- ing, but must stay within the light framework of Aria da Capo. Anne Mazick as Cothurnus had the right tone of fatefulness. Aria da Capo, like Rock’s play, was a very suitable choice for the circum- stances. The costumes and the set with its backdrop of black dia- monds, were as effective in creat- ing the strange atmosphere of this play as the light voices of the act- ors. With The Potboilers, East House kept the audience almost perpetu- ally in stitches. Jackie O’Neil did an energetic job as the conceited and dogmatic playwright; Kathy Horween, as the young playwright, was wide-eyed and deeply im- pressed. The other actors in The Potboilers portrayed players of stock parts employed in the suc- cessful playwright’s unfinished play. The East House actors dis- played considerable skill in their double roles. Paula Donnelly as Mr. Inkwell was always waxy and dapper: in the play he was villain- ous, and out of it, harassed. Miss Ivory (Jane McCullough) was na- sally plaintive. In the play she was the figure of offended virtue; out of it, she could take care of herself. Joan Wolfe, as Mrs. Pen- cil, whose “Yes, I am_ beck” ‘brought down the house, was al- ways sultry; her origin was White Russia or the East Side, as the oc- casion demanded. Mary Kellogg and Marcia Joseph were excellent as the uniformly dignified Mr. Ruler and Mr. Ivory. The production of the Second Shepherd’s Play by Rhoads was the most serious undertaking of the evening, and in many ways the most satisfying. To interpret this 14th century miracle play the act- or must ré-enter.a world where men of Amsterdam, Miss Mellink. re- ceived her Ph.D. at the Univer- sity of Utrecht in 1943. In 1945- 46, ‘she was the, Assistant of Archaeology at the U. of Amster- dam, served as Assistant to. the American Excavation Expedition were closer to earth and closer to religion than they are now. The Rhoads actors, by an almost com- plete mastery of the difficult lan- guage of the play, and by the sim- plicity with which they acted, were able to make clear what this world was, though they did not entirely succeed in recreating it. Jane Mil- ler, Adrienne Schreiber, and Anite Robinson, as the shepherds, did not fit quite themselves into the life of those people who slept in the cold and the wet; and whose religious imagination could trans- form a nativity scene into a vision. Their performance, and those of Nancy Tepper, the Angel, and Judy Haywood, Mary, commanded the respect, but not the feeling of the audience. The actors were most successful in the comedy of the sheep in the cradle. Chris Fischer as the good wife played with great gusto and good humor. Mak declared himself the father of the stolen sheep with a fine, shameless pride. The light- ing and staging of the Play was excellent. Each change of light- ing made a change of scene; the players almost never left the stage, so that there were no long Pauses. The Rhoads actors deserve the highest praise for their choice of play, for the effort they expended on it, and for the clarity and un- derstanding with. which they in- terpreted it. Glenn Decries Slighting Of Freshman Play ‘Joe’ Continued from Page 2 hardly be valid. The choice of a Freshman play should only be la- belled poor when it is beyond the scope of the actors, and Joe was patently not so in this case. If, on the other hand, the judges made no objection to the play per se it would appear that the fault lay in the fact that the perform- ance was on Friday and not Satur- day night. In this case, the prac- tically universal campus belief in the-better chances of a Saturday night show is unfortunately cor- roborated, and some new system of awarding the plaque should be evolved. I suggest that the judges choose the best play of each night and choose between them, seeing them both again side by side if necessary.

By means of a controlling rod, the combination of the two parts and the consequent release of en- ergy can be controlled by man— furthermore it can be harnessed by man in small quantities to supply power to his machines. Not only is this possible now, but it is also practical; for, although uranium costs $20 a pound, the amount of energy obtained from such ‘small quantities is much greater than that obtained from the relatively cheaper fuels such as coal and oil. Furthermore, uranium is not as Scarce as it would appear to be, as there are several sources which have not yet been tapped, and al- though not exhaustible, these sources will last for a considerable UN Has Prevented War, Now Diminishing Fear Continued from Page 3 “wonderfully well in a distracted world” and this is due mainly to the growth in maturity of the American people, Mr. Kohn cited the Marshall Plan (the first time in history that any nation has deliberately planned to spend bil- lions over a period of years to create better conditions abroad) and the North Atlantic Treaty as examples of American advance toward outgrowing nationalism. Reminding us that he does not think the U.N. perfect in any way, Mr. Kohn pointed out the danger that the U.N. be consider- ed an American instrument in her fight against communism. The U.N. should and must be a meet- ing ground of different civiliza- tions and ideals. He feels that communist China along with Franco Spain should have a place in the U.N. The other danger we face is that of a fear- dominated world. The U.N. must work toward a “slow. diminution of fear’. Finally Mr. Kohn re- affirmed the principles on which the U.N. was started six years ago—and pleaded that we proceed against aggression with a_ policy which is firm. but “full of re- straint and ethical wisdom.” | length of time. Dr. Daniels then mentioned sev- eral other sources of energy which mankind has discovered and used, sources such as wind power and water power, the greatest and most limitless source being that of the sun, which, Dr. Daniels stated, is the source which mankind will eventually have to fall back on. At (present, man is using only a min- imum of the available solar energy, —in the use of the fossil fuels, coal, oil, gas, etc., deposited from the sun—and _ scientists have shown in several experiments that the light and heat energy of the sun can be harnessed on earth di- rectly and used to run machines on the principle that energy can be produced by means of a drop in temperature, according to the for- mula: T2/T1/T2. As early as 1882, a sun disc was constructed in Paris, which was capable, by means of fo- cused lignt, of running a printing press; in 1926 in Florida, scientists were able to run a 1-5 horsepower power mower by means of reflect- ed light. Dr. Daniels suggested the possibility that solar energy could be used to expand and con- dense gas which would, in turn, set a piston in motion. Also, he demonstrated that the energy could be used in a chemical con- centration cell to run a battery. However successful these exper- iments might have been, none of them proved practical, due to the expense of the large amounts of materials needed. Nevertheless, Dr. Daniels explained that practi- cal usage of the sun’s energy had been: developed in the heating of houses. In a Dover, Massachu- setts, experiment, a house was constructed which was kept com- fortably warm by the sun’s energy —the sun entering through large windows in the roof and its heat was stored in the sodium sulphate underneath the roof until needed to warm the house. The ultimate source of man’s en- ergy is photosynthesis, the pro- cess of metabolism of energy foods in plants; this process has been the subject of several experiments, and will be the topic of next Mon. day’s lecture. - WALTER COOK Watch Repairing, Clocks and Jewelry Bryn Mawr Avenve Z speak on French Education.
