Rudd, Stoddard, Wesson Receive Recognition in Poetry Anthology By Lanier Dunn "AT The poems of three Bryn Mawr instills in precision ‘passion bred of students have been accepted this | year by the National Poetry As- sociation for publication in their Annual Anthology of College Po- atry. (Last year Sylvia Stallings 48, was the only Bryn Mawr stud- nt to have a poem published in the Anthology, but Sandol Stoddard’s poem received honorable mention. This year the poems of Margaret Rudd ’47, Sandol Stoddard ’48, and Nancy Bell Wesson ’49, have. been accepted. Margaret Rudd’s Poet’s Primer is a fragile, delicate poem in which the haunting echoes of the first few lines form its charm. The idea that fairy lore furnishes the poet’s insipration is carried out .in light, airy villanelle form. The poem has also been submitted to the Poetry Society of America, of which she is a member. The beauty both of sinaehe and execution in Sandol- Stoddard’s Poem can be seen in these two verses: “Stars blaze brightest in a moth’s desire; his striving wings - light imuthe dim confusion of the night celestial fire. He who perceives the statue in the stone and dares to carve Library Of Caen~ Asks For Books An appeal to American univer- sities for aid in reconstructing the library of Caen has been sent from ofessor Horatio Smith of Col- umbia. The library of the Univer- sity of Caen was completely de- stroyed during the war. It had be- come a cultural center of Norman- dy -and was the only place where Norman law was still taught. At Bryn Mawr the efforts of those who wish to contribute books, money or time to the project will be on a purely voluntary basis. There will be no door to door so- liciting. and the fact is stressed that there must be discrimination in the choice of books.

The poem, the first ‘which she has ever submitted, is written .n free verse, beginning: — “A May morning busy with the zoorm of bees gossiping with snap- dragons.” The simple description of -“small hands. incongruously adept” and playing marbles, is an appealing subject.

Page 3 Job Poll i Varied Positions Held In Summer In the recent poll conducted by ithe Voeational_Committee to deter- mine the type and extent of jobs held by undergraduates last sum- mer, it was revealed that 405 out of 538 polled held some job, either volunteer or paid. Of the 244 students who did paid work 79 were clerks, 54 took care of children, including those who were counselors at camp, 18 taught or tutored, 9 went farming, 5 wait- ed*on tables, 4 did social welfare work, 3 worked ‘on newspapers, 8 did editing ang research, and 53 worked in laboratories, stores, hos- pitals, factories, and libraries. The other 17 jobs included handpainting of glassware, string trio in a sum- mer hotel, lifeguards, work with the CIO, and work in the Marine Corps Women’s Reserve. 161 students held various volun- teer jobs. 126, of whom 57 also did paid or volunteer work, attended summer schools and took courses in business, Red Cross, arts, and science. Most interesting among the sum- mer workers were Helen Boyajian and Margaret Quinn, who were lab assistants in the Manhattan Engi- neering Project, and Barrie Zim- melman, who worked with the Com- mittee for Mexican Railroad Work- ers. Dorothy Bruchholz and Eve- lyn Hitz interned in the UNRRA, Barbara Stix was chief copy girl for the United Press, and Andi ‘Bryne worked in a flower nursery in Norway. Mary Austin took a veterinary course, and Elizabeth Smith learn- ed how to. fly. : a) Calendar Thursday, November 29 8:30 Philosophy Club, Mr. Nahm speaking, Common.| ‘iRoom.

To Be Analyzed ° By Dean Landis Dean Landis of the Harvard Law Schoo! will analyse the political and economic situation in the Middle East next Wednesday, December 5, at a 12:30 assembly in Goodhart. The speaker has ‘just come back to this country from the Middle East, where he held the post of American Director of Economic Operations since 1943. He has also served on the Federal Trade Com- mission, as chairman of the Secur- ities Exchange ‘Commission, on President Roosevelt’s Fact-Finding Board, and in 1940 was a special consultant in the war department. Among Landis’s publications are The Business of the Supreme Court, written with Felix Frank- furter in 1928, Cases of Labor Law, and The Administrative Process. Varsity Players Plan To Present “Family Portrait” The Varsity Players, together | with Haverford’s Cap and Bells, will present Family Portrait . by William J. Cohen and _ Leonore Coffee on December 7 and 8- at 8:30 o’clock in Goodhart Auditor- ium. Family Portrait was one of the most popular plays on Broad- way in 1938, where it was directed by Margaret Webster with Judith Anderson in the leading role. Family Portra‘t portrays the life of the family of Jesus, but though Jesus is the central figure He does not_appear. It is a timeless story of what could be any carpenter’s family, and Jesus is considered only in relation to His place in the fam- ily and as a carpenter. ; “Mrs. Courtleigh (Kitty Mine- hart), a member of the German- town Theatre Guild, is directing the play. The cast is as follows: Mary, Pat Frank ’46; Mary Clio- phas, Katherine Colvin ’46; Naomi, Nan Peiker ’48; Reba, Mary Ellin Berlin '48; Mary Magdalene, Bar- bara Nugent ’48; Selima, Georgie Wiebenson ’46; Anna, Ann Greene ’46; Woman at the Well, Pat Hoch- child °'48; Hepzibah, Betty Lilly ’47; Beulah, Janine Landeau ’48; Judah, John Jackson; Joseph, Rob- Continued On Page 3 Manning Urges Strong Defense To Keep Peace Goodhart, November 20. “We must have men with skills. which have been so carefully taught over 1 long period of time that they cannot forget them,” stated Fred- erick Manning in his talk urging military conscription, “Men versus Bombs”. Although complete destruction is still a difficult business, such instruments as the atomic bomb, raday-and radio, and the proximity fuse all increase the effectiveness of familiar weapons to such a de- gree as to make it imperative that we devote a greater part of our energy than ever before to mili- tary preparedness. There is for any weapon an area of probable error, and persistent reattacks with monotonous regular- ity are necessary to counter-act the unavoidable inaccuracy.

Wright, Associate Professor of Government at Har- vard University and a member of the Harvard Report Committee, will speak on “General Education in a Free Society” in the Common Room on Wednesday, December 5 at eight o’clock. . The general contention of the report is that a nation should sup- ply a more liberal education in its schools, secondary as well as pri- mary. The committee believes that the lack of training in the liberal arts must be remedied in order to provide a well rounded primary education and the necessary basis for a higher education. The talk is sponsored by the Curriculum Committee which is not taking a stand either in favor or disfavor of the Report. General — discussion will follow the presen- tation of the views of the Harvard committee, but the meeting is limited to the college community. First Veteran Returns to Study After Two Years With Marines By Nancy Morehouse ’47 Maing back feels quite different, but wonderful to Elizabeth Sumner ’46;,, Bryn Mawr’s first veteran re- turning to the student body. Eliz- abeth served two years in the Ma- rines, and is now back finishing her work as a History major with a minor in German. Elizabeth took her boot training at Camp Lejeune and from there went to a six weeks’ course Control Tower School. in Atlanta. She then was sent to Cherry Point, N. C. where -she worked in “clear- ance,” which she described as “the control of air traffic.” This involv- ed receiving and entering on a flight schedule the flight plans of every plane leaving the field—its estimated times of depa and return, the pilot, the Ie stination, and other necessary information. ‘More elaborate plans were nec- at’ essary in the case of cross-country flights, she explained, the pilot be- ing required to-file his flight plans in person. This information was sent. to Air Traffic Control in Washington which relayed it’ to the field to which the plane was travelling. .On the return trip the process worked in reverse.

There- fore, without altering educational standards, colleges should help their graduates secure the jobs for which they have been fitted. Bryn Mawr assumes this role through the Bureau of Recommendations, which in theory perfectly fills the need felt by the students. In practice, however, it seems to us to fall far short of this ideal. Without pretending a full under- - standing of the problems involved, we should like to suggest “a few improvements and to point out.what seem to be the weak spots in the present system. \ In past years the fields of science and government work have been most successfully handled by the Bureau. Even with the peacetime decrease in demand, girls seeking work in these fields should be easily: placed.. But work appropriate for humanities majors, and even plain business work- remain sketchily covered. Numerous positions are open to Bryn Mawr graduates interested in journalism, to take only one example, yet the Bureau seldom has. concrete offerings to make to such a student. Even within the fields more fully covered, there does not seem to us to be a sufficiently complete range of jobs to en- able the average Senior to select the position most appropri- ate to her qualifications. And the vast majority of jobs nam- ed by the Bureau is limited to the eastern area, providing: graduate body again. little for the sizeable western groups in the college. It. would seem that the Bureau could possess itself of | complete data on all types of occupation throughout the com- pany, thus serving both the college and the employers more effectively. Vocational conferences help students to decide which field to enter, but with little or no working experience they are unable to tell for what position they are best fitted. In line with this we should like to suggest that the Bureau also extend its activities to concrete vocational ad- vice. Recommendations to students of available summer and college jobs which will enable them to step more easily into future jobs would-be helpful. We should glso like to suggest the possibility of a very short course covering the technique of choosing, securing, and holding a job. Statistics printed in the last issues of the News show that on the average the Bureau has arranged for only half of the jobs held by each graduating. class. This may be attrib- uted to the fact that comparatively few students apply to the Bureau, yet this in itself seems a direct result of the present system’s deficiencies. With the facilities of a group of people working full time on this problem, a better method should be devised. Our col- a Tepe employment service should-have eran ceivable openings which would provide the correct jobs for us. — ane « When Thanksgiving Comes, Christmas Can’t Be Far Behind really there, or if there is, it is too vague to convey any definite impression.

A mouse is one of the most lively animals that exist; and when it runs around at night, I have known my _ family (especially the female members) to get terribly excited. Miss Nancy Morehouse, ’47, I bet you act su- perior to mice because you are scared of them yourself! Perhaps as your metaphor implies, the Har- vard Committee has produced something which woke up .those who were slumbering in the dark- ness_ of ignorance. But of course, that is not what you mean. You mean that there is nothing new in the Report, and I agree. I further agree that there is nothing new under the sun.

The writer vigorously casti- gates the Report, and her whip- lashes are two: (a) the conclusions of the Report are insignificant: “the total effect remains that of a mountain laboring to bring forth a mouse,” (b) the Report is nebu- lous and without logical structure.

Continued On Page 4 3 Harvard Report _ The News gratefully acknowledges Professor Raphael Demos’ answer to a review of the Harvard Report printed in our last issue. Not only are we grateful for his interest and kindliness, but for the opportunity to bring the whole subject of the Harvard Report to the. minds of the under- The importance of this Report must not be underestim- ated whether or not its conclusions are accepted. With the end of the war comes forth the opportunity to reconsider and -expnad all educational programs. Not only have army exper- -|iments brought certain methods of teaching into prominence, but experiments carried on in universities in this country have brought the whole problem of liberal arts education up for reconsideration. Education is not a static thing. .New courses, new methods, perhaps even new fundamental con- cepts must continually be incorporated into a system designed to accOmmodate a continually changing society. The under- graduate’s concern in this problem is obviously a. vital one. It is therefore essential that each and every undergraduate consider the problem in all its aspects. The Harvard Report itself has been placed on the Cur- riculum Committee shelf in the Reserve Room. The Commit- tee has also arranged to bring Dr. Benjamin Wright of Har- vard to speak on “General Education in a Free Society.” While no definite immediate action will be recommended by the Committee on the basis.of the broader principles outlined in the Harvard Report, such action may be forthcoming if the students desire it. It is every undergraduate’s duty to ac- aint herself thoroughly with the possibilities outlined in e Report. James wrote his. book on ‘Pragma- Current Events| “The outstanding event of this week in labor relations is the strike that has occurred in the General Motors plants,” said Miss Fair- child, discussing the labor situation in Current. Events. This strike, pit- ting the nation’s largest union against . the largest employer, “touches the question of what is democracy itself.” The procedure of the union evolved in four stages: the 30% wage increase and the 40 hour week were demanded and negotia- tions began shortly after V-J Day; a strike vote petition was then made and the vote taken; the union demanded the company open its. books to. prove or disprove the union’s contention that the com- pany could afford a 30% increase without any rise in its prices; final- ly the union proposed arbitration on the basis of an irispection of the company’s books. The company countered with an offer of a cost-of-living increase; a 6% increase plus a 45 hour week; and finally a 10% increase. The union’s demand that the 30% in- crease be accompanied by no in- crease in prices was termed by the management an, “abdication” of its rights. The question of managerial rights vs. labor demands, Miss Fairchild pointed out, is at the root of-the entire situation. Labor feels it has a right to demand increases in order to maintain the American living standard and extend consum- er purchasing power, while man- agement insists that the labor pro- gram will rob it of all its preroga- tives. This strike has contributed, Miss Fairchild said, to the virtual stall- ing of the labor-management ‘ton- ference, which has so far reached agreement only on the recommen- dation that collective bargaining become the universal practice in determining labor relations. The strike wave has also resulted in a bill being introduced in Congress to restrict labor’s right to strike.

LAST NICHTERS Depression, Acceptance Follow As Aftermath Of “Strange Fruit” by Marcia Dembow °’47 Traveling ‘under the illusion that any story banned in Boston is a smash hit, Lillian Srfitth’s stage adaption of Strange Fruit met somewhat of a disappointment at pite the sensation that the book caused, Philadelphia audiences were not quite as receptive to this aspect of racial conflict as they were to its forerunner, Deep Are The Roots, - The plot, which is not the sig nificant part of the play, is the representation of the relationship | of master and negro on the plan- tation, and more specifically, the clandestine relationship which re- sulted in the defiance of conven- tion. Tracy Dean, the ne’er do well son of a family of landed aristo- crats is unable to resist the attrac- tions of Nonnie, a beautiful young negress. The theme of the story centers around the phases of the ill starred lovers who are unable to surmount the society in which they were bred. Through a series of flashbacks, the audience is ine formed: of_Tracy’s first-endoctrina- tion of the black and white ever- fast dyes of the South. , He recalls how Henry, his. companion in youth and later his servant was __intro- duced into the scheme of racial subordination. The tension of a revival that is being held in Tracy’s home town surges throughout the entire play. Young Dean’s conflict is further complicated by the intercession of a God.that was previously non- existefit in his pagan philosophy. After he is reconverted, Tracy vows to follow the pattern planned by his parents and to abandon Nonnie. At the minister’s sugges- tion, Tracy agrees to pay Henry to marry Nonnie and give a name to Tracy's illegitimate child. In a drunken stupor, Henry reveals the scheme to Nonnie’s brother and Tracy is killed. According to the white man’s code that a negro must pay for a master’s death, the guilt- less Henry is lynched by a blood thirsty mob. The social significance of the play, the sociological problem of the negro, is compiétely submerg- | ed in a lewd love affair and the spinelessness of- Tracy Dean.

Defense for Peace Continued from page 1 sure our protection against what- ever means of destruction might be used against America. Mr. Manning suggested an “of- fensive defensive” program as the most practical means of setting men against bombs. The U. S. needs a super-efficient secret service able to chart or map any weapon- making plant in the world. Sec- ondly the Army and Navy must have air bases in as many places |as possible in American controlled territory, and in addition there must be concealed and secret bases to combat. anyone who tries to use atomic bombs. Finally America must have several millions of highly trained men so that no mat- ter how great the initial casualties might be. we would have enough to offset them. ‘Such a program, Mr... Manning feels, is indispensable if we are to preserve peace because it is too dangerous to rely on a peace or- ganization alone to protect us from the modern weapons.

Again the be-gowned Rhoads team pushed through to.grab the Interhall Hoc- key Championship, 1-0, from fiery Pembroke in a blood and thunder match. A~slippery field and over-eager fighting spirit downed many play- ers in the battle for the ball. One of the most spectacular tumbles ensued during the second half when two Rhoadesians collided and tum- bled in a confusion of arms and legs. Although Rhoads scored in the first half, Pem kept the blue line from the goal for the rest of the game. Prominent among the Pem- broke devils were Bierwirth ’47, in red tights and earmuffs, and Bent- ley ’49 in a red peaked hat, who successfully intercepted many of Rhoads’ passes and hits. An eager Pem cheering squad en- couraged the red line with “the Pem lion roars, and the Rhoads mouse squeaks,” and “Now you're in our clutches, you’d best bring out your crutches.” The latter senti- ment pervaded universally at the end of the match, when both teams limped off the field.

Fieser, professor of organic chem- istry at Harvard University, in a lecture entitled “Naphthoquinine Antimalarial Drugs.” At Bryn Mawr several years ago Dr. Fieser first synthesized hydrolapochol, a naphthoquinine, which has been found to produce a 95% decrease in? malarial para- sitization when ‘used in hifh com centrations. Many chemists, in- cluding Mr. Berliner of Bryn Mawr, have been testing lapochols of different molecular structures and ~ have discovered that the naphtho- quinone with nine carbon atoms in the ‘side chain of the molecule is the most potent. ‘Research is going on-at-~ Bryn Mawr and in other laboratories to synthesize antimalarial drugs of the benzene type, since these are comparatively inactive and, there- fore; difficultly metabolized. The -“paradoxyl” group has already been: discovered and found to be twenty-five times as potent as quinine as well as non-toxic. **Strange Fruit’? Lacks Constructive Ideas Continued: from Page 3 life. The very fact that a member of the Church should condone his weakness by offering the solution that he forget Nonnie but make provisions for his child, rather sanctions this illicit relationship than prohibits it. The aftermath of the play is depression and accept- ance rather instead of a stimula- tion to action on a.vital problem. Instrumentally the play is good because it helps to keep the racial question before the public eye, but actually it does little more than appear as Strange Fruit on a rot- ten tree of racial prejudice. Considering the difficulties that were encountered in the staging of a story of this type, Mr. Ferror does an excellent job in, treating the plot with delicacy. _ ANNOUNCEMENTS NEW BOOK ROOM The New Book Room Committee announces the purchase of the fol- lowing new books this fall:: .

House, Nov. 27, Senor Amaral, described Pablo Neruda, the T. S. Eliot of South America, ‘as a symbolist with. spiritual .fore- sight, in discussing’ two of his books, Residencia en la Tierra and Veinte Poemes de Amor ’y Una Cancion Desesperada. Neruda writes of his youthful love turned inward, and. his poetry is a formal objectivication of sen- timent. Love is the most real thing in life and poetry, said Amaral, .or it gives a sense of human solidarity. There is a psychological quality in Neruda, both as an actor and as a spectator, which is spontaneous, fatal, and indicative of maturity. Senor Amaral compared Neruda to James Joyce, pointing out that both use the accidental, grotesque, and absurd part of dream and fan- vasy as the basis of artistic crea- vion. They are seldom logical or casual, but are unmotivated, irra- vecause they are the product of the ional, and spontaneous. This _ is same.artistic age, that of the first World War.

Isn’t that an important contribution? But that is just the point, you will say; the Report is not well-organized. Leaving that aside for a moment, I want to add that I am aggrieved by your ref- erence to the members of the Com- mittee as mountains; the average weight was 147 3/5 pounds. (Be- -ween . ourselves, however, our chairman was somewhat heavier.) (b) Lcome now to the accusation that the Report lacks structural anity. As I am a_ professional philosopher who thinks he teaches students how to*think clearly, the accusation of nebulousness really hurts. My answer is very dogmatic; it isn’t so. Let me explain: the Re- port, -on--the.philosophical _ side, says that education should impart the twin values of heritage and change, tradition and innovation. Then it goes on to implement these ideas step by step, first in the high schools and second in the col- leges: heritage in the proposed new generat courses, change as revealed in the specialized studies. I submit the structure is as well- knit as that of French lace. The war between students and teachers, between youth and age, is most healthy and natural; and I hope when all other wars are abolished by international and in- terplanetary and intercosmic or- ganizations, this war will be per- mitted to go on unhampered. I am glad that the class of 1947 attacks so vigorously, and } hope that the 1907 fight back with equal vigor. .

(Chosen players of a cer- tain region composed the “section- al teams”, Thus the national team was fairly representative of the best hockey players in the country. In the hiatus of the war years, it was supposed that the Invitation Tournaments would resume their activity and their official standing in the first peace season. Ht lack of time for preparation,gand travel difficulties prohibit the transpor- tation of team. members from all parts of the country this year. The tournament held on campus next weekend will therefore not, select a national team, but will permit city teams already organized to compete in whole groups. After the tourfiament, the United States Field Hockey Association will hold a meeting in the gym, following a buffet supper. termined teciaithatiattathciatiatteadiabediathainley Delicious Teas Community Kitchen LANCASTER AVENUE Open.
