United States Neglects
To Pass Legislation
For Health

 

Goodhart, November 6. In the
fourth of the Anna Howard Shaw
series on Social Security in an
Expanding Economy, Dr. Eveline
M. Burns expanded her lecture of
last week on Social Security in the
Post-war World and began the top-
ic of Planning for Health Services.

Recapitulating the argument of
last week, Mrs. Burns used the
ideal situation of a rational and in-
telligent Congress asking a social
economist to devise a social sys-
tem which has real security for alt,
which does not interfere to the
least possible extent with other
individual freedoms and which
will’ include as many desirable ec-
onomic by-products as possible.

The social economist would have

; Granger Illustrates
fundamental Nature
Of Racial Obsessions

 

Goodhart, November 2. ‘Democ-
racy is a matter of personality
and environment, not a matter of
birthplace,” declared Mr. Lester
Granger, executive secretary of
thé Urban League, in a talk on
Racial Hazards to Domestic Peace,
at this year’s fourth war assem-
bly.

Democrats

‘ Stressing the fact that not all
f Americans are wholehearted Dem-
; ocrats, Mr. Granger pointed out
<a that many of our institutions are
the very antithesis of democracy,
and many of our people favor only
a partial, controlled democracy. It
H is this kind of thinking that sets
| . up a system of bitter competition
| for personal security in which min-
ority groups are bound to suffer,
he said. Racial discrimination is
*S not an isolated phenomenon, but an

i ae

integral part of our present fabric

———~of existence. “The- idea of caste
comes to us along with our notions
of economic security, political
ideals, and so on,” the speaker ob-
served. When the race angle is
removed from our society, many
other evils will fall with it.

Race Riots

Mr. Granger cited instances of
«Yace riots because of competition
for jobs after the last war, and
‘discriminatory practices during
this one. He warned that even
more serious difficulties will de-
velop if nothing is done to check
the hatred of whites for negroes
and the suspicion of negroes to-
ward whites.

Negro Veterans

Our dealings with negro veter-
ans will be crucial. The question
is whether they shall be shunted
back into Jim Crow jobs and lives,
as they were in 1919, often barred
- from veterans organizations like
the American Legion, and denied a
fair chance for employment, loans,
decent homes or farms. In that
case, “we will have a period of in-
tense racial animosity,” which will
seriously hamper our internation-

Mrs. Collins Appoints
Eight Teams to Help
In United War Chest

 

The United War Chest drive for
1944 officially opened on campus
last week and will continue until
November 17th. While all under-
graduates contributed to the War
Chest through the Activities
Drive, various teams have been
appointed to solicit contributions
from the faculty, the graduate
students, the maids and _ porters
and the staff.

Acting as general chairman of
the Drive is Mrs. Chadwick-Col-
lins, appointed by President Mc-
Bride, and assisted by Miss Julia
Frick.. Heading the faculty team
is Mr. Nahm, appointed also by
Miss McBride, on the vote of the
faculty. His team consists of
Miss Marti, Miss Lehr, Mr. Her-
ben, and Mr. Wells.

Captains of other teams have
been appointed by Mrs. Chadwick-
Collins, and they in turn choose
their team members. The gradu-
ate students, who were the first
to register a 100% contribution
in last year’s drive, are headed by
Josephine Burroughs, while Mar-
ion Moise ’47 supervises the , un-
dergraduate contribution through
the Activities Drive.

Heading the committee for the
Maids and Porters is Miss Howe,
who has chosen for her committee
the same captains who all had

100% records last year. The
| Maids and Porters also had a
100% contribution the preceding

year and in addition were the
first group to finish. The team con-

Diana Lynn, portrayer of Emily
Kimbrough in Our Hearts Were
Young and Gay, was presented to
some thirty students at a dinner
in the Deanery given by Mrs.
Chadiwick-Collins,

Coming to Philadelphia for the
premiere of Our Hearts, where she
will make a personal appearance
with Emily Kimbrough at the Al-
dine Theatre, Miss Lynn was able
to get only a flying glance at the
campus, through the 6:30 dusk.
She claimed some familiarity with
the campus, however, since several
small and.carefully reproduced sets
of places on campus, such as the
Gym and the Infirmary, were used
in filming tha& opening sequences
of the movie, but were greatly cut
for the final form. Having lunch
today in Pembroke, Miss Lynn
was undoubtedly exposed to more
of the Bryn Mawr atmosphere as
well as getting a closer view of the
actual cloistering walls.

Exactly how Diana Lynn became
the Emily Kimbrough of Our
Hearts is a typical Hollywood
story. Having played practically
everyone’s brat sister, in such pic-
tures as The Major and the Minor
and The Miracle of Morgan’s
Creek, and having been in evidence
on the Paramount lot since the
age of thirteen, Miss Lynn regis-
tered intense interest when her

Second Set of Plays Lacks
Spark of Friday Night
‘ Performances

 

by Robin Brooks 46

Goodhart, November 4. The
Freshmen Plays on Saturday did
not have the spark that character-
ized the Friday night perform-
ances, There were, however, in
the three presentations, moments
of very creditable acting.

Rockefeller’s The Tenth Word
by Florence Ryerson and Colin
Clement, very suitably adapted to
the time and place of performance,
was directed by Kitty Rand ’45,
and Ada Klein ’48. The first scene
contrasted perhaps more _sharply
than was intended with scene two
due to the rather “corny” and rep-
etitious lines of the latter.

Outstanding in scene one was
Kathryn Landreth as Mistress
Seraphina Darcy, rendering the
prudish and antiquated headmis-
tress with a convincing conception
of her part. In scene two, Nan
Piker as Pam, the distraught girl
who could not decide whether to
follow her heart or her mind, dis-
played occasional moments of fair
sensitivity for her role.

The supporting cast as a whole
was a little too reserved in its ac-
tions, yet considering the fact that
Rock was. forced to change its play
at the eleventh hour, it gave an
admirable performance. Particu-
lar credit should go to Anne Henry
for the delightful costumes in the
first scene.

To Pem East’s The Lady Shows
Her Medals by James Barrie, di-
rected by Doreen Hurwitz ’47, and
Isabel Cameron ’48, goes credit for

the best all-around acting of the’

evening. Although, her role was
comparatively small, Shirley Wood
as Mrs. Haggerty, never stepped
out of the character of the sloven-
ly and defensive washerwoman for
a moment. /Her rendering of the
line “the ’eart’s warm though it
may not be gold-tipped,” brought
forth the only spontaneous ap-
plause of the evening, and possibly
if she had raised her voice slight-
ly higher there would have been
more of the same, at other times.

Uniformly High Acting Quality
Distinguishes First Group
Of Hall Plays

 

by April Oursler ’46

Goodhart ,November 3. A _ uni-
formly high quality of acting, un-
usual in Freshman plays, distin-
guished the first group of. plays
given on Friday night:

Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, én-
acted by. the Rhoads Freshmen,
was by far the best production of
the evening. Careful direction, by
Patricia Acheson ’46, and a sense
of timing and feeling for the
parts, gave the performance a
nearly professional finish.

Sylvia Stallings, as Mrs. Hale,
gave what was perhaps the most
sensitive interpretation in the
play, with Jessica Levy running a
close second as Mr, Hale. Both
players seemed completely absorb-
ed by their parts, maintaining a
naturalness and ease of stage ac-
tion throughout, with an emotion
in their acting which alone could
have carried the play.

They were, however, given very
real support in the more subordin-
ate roles, particularly by Patricia
Hochschild’s portrayal of Mrs.
Peters. Coordination of setting
and make-up and direction, com-
bined with a thorough sympathy
with the play on the part of all
concerned gave it the excellence
which merited the award of the
plague.

Merion’s The Birthday of the
Infanta, by Oscar Wilde, seemed
Rhoads’ only serious challenger of
the evening. Ably directed by Es-
telle Morrison ’45, the Merion pro-
duction relied too much, however,
on individual excellence than the
requisite fantasy atmosphere avail-
able only through a unified per-
formance. :

‘Carol McGovern gave a start-
lingly skillful interpretation of
the extremely difficult role of the
Phantastic. The expressiveness of
her pantomime as well as her lines
showed an ability to cope with the
challenging part which far exceeds
average campus talent.

Indra Kirpalani evidenced poise
and charm in the role of the In-
fanta, and both Bettina Kleupfel

Election Night Hardly Condusive to Study
As Consolation-for-Dewey Parties Prevail

 

by Patricia Platt ’45

Election night was not an aus-
picious one for study, what with
all-night vigils, parties, and a lit-
tle mad scrambling. The most vio-
lent case on record occurred short-
ly before midnight when barefoot
students were spied trying to at-
tach a picture of Dewey to Taylor.
This meant that the Democrats had
to try to’get Roosevelt onto the
library, without success. The latest
returns have it that Taylor was
adomed with placards but no pic-
tures.

A few hardy souls in Pem East
were planning to stage a slumber
party with’ mattresses on the floor
and radios blaring. Towards the
end of the evening, however, a
consolation-for-Dewey party took
over, while Pem West quietly went
to bed. In Merion, where the ra-
dio is out of order, rooters had to
retire to their rooms, but not be-
fore decorating the showcase with

 

266 Dewey buttons (the requisite

 

number of electoral votes), care-
fully arrayed on chair arms,
around the edges of the rug, and
in their hero’s initials, T. E. D.
Even choir practice fell victim to
the spirit of the moment, when
Miss Cook, valiantly enjoining the
members to count their beats,
found herself saying “count your
votes.” There was nothing to do
but suggest that they achive ane
listen to the election returns® -
Rhoads indulged in a celebration
which showed that they have ab-
andoned the “above it all” attitude
- - namely a “suppressed desire”
party. Upper classmen cavorted
masquerading as their hidden
yearnings, while the Freshnien,
their hostesses, took advantage of
the occasion to slip into their eld-
ers’ rooms, don their characteris-
tie clothes, and confront them with
their true selves. The party reach-
ed its height with two new games;
“pin the cigarette on Roosevelt,”
and “pin the mustache on Dewey.” ©

: Farming

Fifty-eight students signed up for farming on registra-
tion day. Because of poor attendance, the group has only
gone to work three times, on one Friday and two Saturdays,
out of three weeks. If this in indicative of campus response
to war work, of which farming is now the most pressing,

something must be done.

The miserable showing can perhaps be explained by con-
sidering that the hours for farming are from nine to five-
thirty on Saturdays, that students must sien up by Thurs-
day, and that having signed the week-end away, it can always
rain. However, the present situation could not have arisen
if volunteers had thought of these facts before, instead of
after, registration. Some of them did, and credit should go
to the few faithful, who have often been unable to go because
of lack of cooperation from others.

The need for farmers is extremely great. For instance,

at least thirty students could

be used every Saturday, and

ten every Friday, the farms having no other source of labor
- available. Instead of getting the assistance required, six is
the maximum Friday turn-out, and the Saturday group,
which is diminishing, at best fell below half of the necessary
number. Last Saturday, two farms, badly in need of farmers,
got none at all. Unless crops are harvested before winter,
the food shortage will be increasingly acute. In many coun-
tries today, such a waste would be criminal:

In view of the disappointing response, arrangements
have been made to limit the hours for farming to half a day
on Saturday. This change goes into effect this week-end, and
should make it possible for all registrants to fulfill their
pledges conveniently. Compromise in the matter of war work

is deplorable, but is better than nothing. All students, wheth-}

er registered for farming or not, are urged to lend a helping

hands ~

Common Room, November 6. As
a climax to current political dis-
cussion, Mrs. Manning and Miss
Taylor outlined their reasons for

 

 

| voting for Dewey and Roosevelt

respectively,

ing created a_ serious internal
cleavage, Mrs. Manning pointed
out that he missed a great oppor-
tunity for unity after Pearl Har-
bor. There was no reason,
stated, why able Republicans
could not have. taken key posi-
tions. The appointment of two
Republicans, Knox: and Stimson,
was merely a clever political
move. Further cleavage is being
created through Mr. Roosevelt’s
constant -reproachment of sena-
tors for having vetoed pre-Pearl
Harbor. defense measures.

Despite the fact that he-is in-
.experienced in foreign policy, Mr.
Dewey has taken the right line.
His policy concerning peace is
based on immediate beginning
and negotiations without reserva-
tions. He believes in continuity
and has appointed good advisers.
The present administration, in
its foreign policy, has abandoned
too many of the old traditions.

Admitting that as a military
strategist Mr. Roosevelt is unex-
celled, Mrs. Manning felt that this
would not necessarily make “him
a good leader in peace. His force-
ful policy -is not truly representa-
tive of the slowness of the Amer-
ican public in deciding issues. An-
other of his great errors is that
he has overlooked the needs of the
liberated peoples, particularly in
the matter of food.

Rather than answering Mrs.
Manning’s arguments, Miss Tay-
lor stated why she was going to
vote for Roosevelt \for the fourth
time. Her choice is justified by
the war emergency, not by the
New Deal, she said.

Tselos, New Professor

of History of Art,

Finds Jeans ‘Manifestation of Primitivism”

 

by Patricia Platt. ’45,
Despite its “borrowed. dress”,
Mr. Dimitris Tselos finds Bryn
Mawr “quite attractive.” As he
has roamed the globe quite thor-
oughly before settling down “on

loan for the duration” in the His-
tory of Art department in its hour
of greatest need, this may be con-
sidered praise from a connoisseur.

The less architectural aspects
of the campus, to wit, the students,
Mr. Tselos considers “neater than
average.” He offers a new theory
on blue jeans which he expresses
as follows: “the jeans are an in-
teresting manifestation of prim-
itivism which has been recurring.
since Marie Antoinette played at
milk maid at the hamlet of the
Petit Trianon. Other recent var-
iants of the motif are the head
kerchiefs and the dirndl skirt.”
He hails the movement “back to
normal clothing” observed at Bryn
Mawr. Alas, Mr. Tselos has only
been here a little upwards of a
month!

An American citizen since 1927,
Mr. Tselos was born in Arcadia,
Greece. His last thirty years
have been spent in this country,
and, in direct contrast to the re-
fugees, he feels that it is “im-
possible to go back” to Greece.
“Mental make-up” and education,
he fears, would make him a mis-
fit.

Starting his career in Greece,
Mr. Tselos began school in Athens,
progressed to. Egypt, and finally
to»Chicago and Oklahoma. After
University
of Chicago, he continued to be
cosmopolitan, taking his doctor’s
degree at. Princeton, then pursu-
ing his art to Paris and London.
New York University has claimed
him since 1931, where, as Assist-
ant Professor of Fine Arts, he
still returns to give weekly lec-

 

 

 

INCIDENTALLY...

 

 

Things We Never Knew

From a western college’s news-
paper comes a somewhat startling
impression of Bryn Mawr quoted
from the college’s president, “I
think Bryn Mawr College is a great
school,” says he. This is fine. “Old
picturesque stone buildings pre-
vail on the campus.” This, too, is
fine, though we like to think that
we, equally as picturesque, pre-
vail on the campus. The observer
strikes an, undeniably novel note
when he records that “There are
six or eight girls living in large
attractive rooms. The library ta-
bles have compartments similar to
telephone booths so that every girl
can study privately.” And we, we
are going home to see where our
six roommates are hiding.

Practicing What She Preaches
Miss Stearns, speaking to her

,| Class on’ Modern Philosophers, cli-

maxed an involved analysis of the
metaphysical implications of the
self with the statement, “The self
isa self-significatory process.”’ She
looked‘up from her notes, wide-
eyed, and said, “You know, I
haven’t the vaguest idea what-that
means.” This, it seems, would con-
firm Miss Stearns’ words in an
article on education to the. effect
that students should be allowed to
recognize the fact that professors
do not know all the answers.

For Whom The Bell Tolls

In past years air raid wardens
‘and fire captains argued at the
sound of a bell as to who was in
command. Happily, air raid drills
are no longer with us,: but there
‘is still confusion, as evidenced by

ed her position, A few nights lat-
er her successor held a drill, and

 

the tardiest arrival was none other
than the former bell-ringer. It
seems that she was hunting fran-
tically.for a flashlight, a list of
names and other essentials, firmly
convinced that she was still the fire
captain.
Enough Said

Into the rarified atmosphere of
a~’ post-quiz class in Organic
Chemistry last week came Mr. Ber-

liner. In his hand was a pile of
bluebooks. He placed them on the
desk. In silence he looked around

the room. Then he spoke:

There was a young chemist named
Kate

Who every night went out on a
date,

When along came a test

She did her little best;

And as always it was too late.

And incidentally, a Freshman

from one of the older halls on cam-

pus viewed Rhoads ‘for the first

time and said quietly, “What, no

Willkie’s‘ American Program,’
Proclaims Liberal Principle
For America

 

By Nancy Morehouse 47

An American Program, by-
Wendell L. Willkie, is on the face:
of it a series of essays on the po-
litical platforms presented to the:
Ametican people in the 1944 elec-.
tion. But it is more than that;
it is a statement of faith by one
of the greatest men of our time.

Mr. Willkie has taken a stand.
on the most controversial issues.
of the day; and he has taken that.
jstand with utter disregard. for-
‘party politics or any other kind’
of politics. He has, by this stand
elevated himself above the name
of politician into the rank of:
statesman.

States’ Rights

The first issue which Mr. Will--
kie presents is that of ‘states”
rights vs. federalism. Absolute:
states rights or absolute central-.
ization of power are neither ef-
fective solutions to the problem
of government. Mr. Willkie pro-
poses a centralization of policy in
the federal government coinci-
dent with decentralized adminis-
tration through the states.:

In the matter of social security
and the confliet between manage-
ment and labor, Mr. Willkie as-
serts that we have gone too far:
with Social security ever to draw
back. Social security must be
made supplementary to our indus-
trial system, designed to work
with that system in maintaining
the highest possible level of em--
ployment. The government must
take the lead in promoting coop-
eration’ and coordination of  in-
dustrial policy between manage~
ment, labor, and government, and
must take steps to encourage,
risk-taking in investment and in-
dustry,. especially through reduc-
tion of taxes on risk gapital. The
primary problem in this respect:
is the necessity of devising a com-
promise between the American
principle of free enterprise and
the world trend of collectivization,
and Mr. Willkie feels this can
best be done by the sincere and
active cooperation of all concern-
ed.

Foreign Policy

In the problem of forsigaKel-.
icy, Mr. Willkie again feels that.
both platforms are inadequate.
In the crucial problem of  sover-
eignty, neither party is willing
to face the issue squarely, and
recognize that'a workable inter-

national organization requires.
that the participants delegate
some measure of their sovereignty
to that organization. Further~

more, each nation must take steps
leading toward the eventual es-
tablishment of relatively free
markets, through the development
of increasing numbers of recipro-
cal trade agreements and other
measures designed to promote

| foreign trade. ~—

interhall hockey championship.

Merion could not do°’ much
against Rhoads’ powerful line-up,
recruited as it was from the Var-
sity and Reserve teams, and from
the beginning there could be no
question of the outcome of the
game. The Ghouls fought
but were completely dutclassed by

superior stick work. Rhoads _be-
gan to score almost as soon as
the opening whistle blew and,

having rolled up a comfortable
5-0 lead by the half, coasted on to
an 8-0 victory.

Julie Turner, flashy inner who
has been responsible for much of
the scoring in the Reserves’
games, contributed four of Rhoads
goals with Lydia Gifford ’45,
Nancy Niles ’47, and Ellen Carey
’47 doing the rest of the scoring.
The score might have been a great
deal more onesided if Darst Hyatt,
47, Merion’s goalie, had not play-
ed such an excellent defense. She
made innumerable saves, all beau-
tifully executed, even batting the
ball down with her hand when the
Rhoads’ forwards bombarded the
goal with an aerial attack.

Rhoads’ star-studded team roll-
ed over the Merion defense
sheer power and speed and_ the
playing centered around the Mer-
ion goal most of the time, though
in spirit and determination the
Merion team was superior.

Decision Giving

Rhoads Play Plaque Award

 

not
but unanimous

“The judges’ opinion was
only unanimous,
without any delay,” said Mr.
Sprague: of Mrs. Chadwick-Col-
lins’, Mrs. Broughton’s and his own
decision that Rhoads should be
awarded the Freshman play plaque
for their finished production of
Trifles by Susan Glaspell. The
three judges, however, stressed
the general high standard of indi-
vidual\ acting and declared that the
Freshmen plays this year were su-
perior to those of the past three
years.

“The winning play was given
my vote,” said Mrs. Chadwick-
Collins, “because of its excellent

tem of taxation in order to break
down the cost of the plan and de-
termine its relations to other
trends. He would also plan for
the distribution of the cost of fin-
ancing. =

Insurance

Mrs. Burns furtMer viewed the
situation. in. the light of the social
economist by saying that Old Age
and Survivors Insurance should be
operated on a national basis be-
cause this problem should inter-
fere as little as possible with the
mobility of the community.

Mrs. Burns pointed out that
these conditions do not exist in
the present system because we do
not provide security for all Amer-
icans. Our social insurance sys-
tem exhibits irrational features in
that it pays too little to some
groups and will be more inadequate
if low income groups are brought
into consideration,

Health Service

Mrs. Burns then began her dis-
cussion of Planning for Health
Services. One of the consequences
of countries. that had the advan-
tage of health service is that peo-
ple have now realized the mone-
tary as well as human cost of ill-
ness,

Although health service is more
marked in foreign countries than
in the United States, increasing
attention has been aroused since
the early ’30s. The Wagner-Mur-
ray-Dingle Bill, proposing a sys-
tem of medical care, has been a
subject of acrimonious dispute
since its presentation and as yet
the government has approved no
health program because of the lack
of cooperation from the medical
profession.

timing, its sustained action—not

tfor one minute was there any let-

down— and its uniformly good act-
ing.” Mr. Sprague was convinced
that Rhoads should receive the
award “because Trifles involved so
much real] acting, requiring imper-
sonation of older women as well
as men. It was a very serious,play
which prevailed ovey an audience
in a holiday mood.”

All three judges would neither
name a second choice among the
plays nor mention individuals as
outstanding. ‘‘Several individual
performances were notable for
their positive acting,” said Mr.
Sprague, “but there were so many
excellent performances that it
would be unfair to single out a
few.”

Said Mrs. Chadwick-Collins, “It
is a record to see seven plays giv-
en by a Freshman class and to
find all of them well-acted and
excellently directed. The choice of
plays was-good as was a large part
of the casting. Perhaps the most
amazing thing,’? added Mrs. Chad-
wick-Collins, “was the number of
Freshmen showing dramatic abil-
ity of a high order. It augurs well
if a victory May Day is to be giv-
en. My only real criticism was in
regard to the diction of some of the
players.”

Many Freshmen disagreed vio-
‘lently, but student opinion on the
whole seems to coincide with the
judges’ decision that Rhoads de-
served the plaque.

Democratic Victory
- Ends College Debate -
On Present Election

Gymnasium, October 31. Fre-
quent reference to the “record” on
the part of both sides ended final-
ly in a Democratic victory in the
Student Political Debate, on the
question, “Resolved, that the dem-
ocratic administration iis better
fitted to guide the nation through
the next four years, including the
post-war period.” ©

Anne Kingsbury and Monnie
Bellow made é€ presentation
speeches for the~Democrats, and
Esther Smith and April Oursler
were their Republican counter-
parts. The two rebuttal teams
were composed of Miriam Pottle
and Nancy Bierwirth, Republicans,
Thelma Baldasarre and Shirley
Heckheimer, Democrats. Mr. Wells
served as moderator, with Mr.
Hubbard, Miss Nepper and Madame
Dony forming the judges’ commit-
tee. i

The Democrats cited the “record”
as a basis for discussion of Demo-
cratic policy. In foreign relations
they noted the Good Neighbor Pol-
icy and the Atlantic Charter as
firm evidences of Roosevelt’s inter-
national attitude’ They denied
charges that the administration
had been unfavorable to small busi-
ness, pointing out that definite
government action had been taken
in several cases.

In reference to the “record”
again, the Republicans noted sig-
nificant Republican contributions
in Congress. In foreign policy,
they noted the platform statement
that the Republican party favors
active international cooperation in|
the post-war era. In the field of
domestic policy, the Republicans
favor the elimination of govern-
ment as a competitor of business,
an active labor ‘policy on the part
of the government, and the main-
tenance of full employment through
private enterprise.

The Democrats attacked the Re-
publican record in Congress, say-
ing that on the whole’ the Repub-
licans had been hostile to pre-war
defense measures, They attacked
Dewey as an unscrupulous district
attorney and declared that he had
failed to state conclusive post-war
plans, or a decisive foreign policy.

The Republicans charged that
the Roosevelt administration failed
to raise the country appreciably
from the 1932 depression. In for-
eign policy they condemned the ad-
ministration’s attitude as indecis-
ive on many questions of import-
ance.

In rebuttal, the Republicans
charged that the Democrats were
becoming entrenched in the admin-
istrative machinery, and were
bringing about an underlying
change in the nature of the gov-
ernment without actually making
any legal alterations. They con-
demned Roosevelt as seeking per-
sonal power more and more, and
remarked that he had shown him-
self no great director of foreign
affairs.

The Democrats noted the fact
that the Republicans’ plan to free
industry from government contro]
while subjecting labor to central-
ized government direction. They
declared that Dewey’s contradic-

tory remarks on foreign policy |.

made his attitude extremely un-
certain, and that the platform was
no criterion of this attitude.

Current Events :
Continued from Page 2

We must keep in mind that the
war is not over, and that we are
extremely fortunate to have a
g00d commander-in-chief. Mr.
Roosevelt has shown his ability in
his selection of the general staff
and in his organization of nation-
al defenses despite congressional
opposition.

In the coming era of making
the peace, ‘the prestige that Mr.
Roosevelt’s name carries among
the peoples of the world will be an
invaluable asset. Furthermore,
his experience in coalition warfare
will aidjhim. As far as having
Congressional support for his pol-
icies, Miss Taylor felt that inter-
nationalists of both’ political par-
ties would support: him.

The third question to be consid-
ered is that of converting the
home front from a wartime to a
peacetime economy. Mr. Roose-
velt was successful in converting
from peace to war and this exper-
ience should help him in the

change back. Miss Taylor pointed
to the multitude of annoying gov-
ernmental regulations, which more
or less alienated organized labor,
but which | saved the country
from inflation, as adequate proof
of the President’s ability.

 

Paper Salvage Drive
Continues on Campus

 

The War Alliances paper salvage
drive, started this fall, will con-
tinue through the year. Students
in each hall are responsible for
tying up papers prior to collection
by the college.

The collectors, appointed by the
War Alliance, are as follows:
Rockefeller, Diane Dame; Rhoads,

Mary Camilla Williams; Pem West, |

Louise Brown; Pem East, Margar-

et MecPbedran; Merion, Hannah
aufmann, Denbigh, Elizabeth
Hoffman.

Fencing Plans Includes
Three Outside Meets

 

Katharine Lutz, president of
this year’s fencing team, expresses
high hopes that Bryn Mawr will
acquit itself creditably in the three
meets planned for the season.

Under the. guidance of Mrs. R.
Henri Gordon, twenty students
meet in the gym tri-weekly to
practice. Among these are mem-
bers of last year’s team: Alice
Hart, Katharine Lutz, Margaret
MecPhedran and Mrs. Thane.

“A promising group” is the epi-
thet Mrs. Gordon has bestowed on
the many enthusiastic Freshmen
who have taken up the foils.

Gordon herself is one of a family] |e

of fencers. Her husband teaches
the art. at Swarthmore, which fact
will add excitement. to the coming
Bryn Mawr-Swarthmore encounter.

The beginners’ class meets Mon-
day, Wednesday and Thursday
nights at seven-thirty, while the
advanced meets at eight-thirty. It
seems that there is quite a con-
trast between the styles of the two
divisions, but many a_ beautiful
thrust and parry has come from
humble beginnings.
