The exist- ence of a social schism, declared Professor Arnold J. Toynbee in his diseussion of “Social and Psycho- logical Effects,” the fifth of his series of lectures on “Encounters between Civilizations,” is charac- teristic of a civilization in disin- tegration, and freqently takes the form of a dominant minority con- trolling a large proletariat. Should a society of this sort em- bark on conquest, Professor Toyn- bee pointed out, the result is usv- ally an aggravation of the existing social contrast which it becomes difficult to keep under control. The ranks. of the indigenous proletar- iat are swelled by the addition of the conquered peoples and the lack of balance becomes more acute. The distinction between the dom- inant minority and its subjects takes a number of different forms, said Professor Toynbee; it may be religious, cultural (intellectual and artistic attainments), in terms of political and econmic power, or racial. The first three differentia- tions may be overcome by conver- sion, education, or the transfer or broadening of power, but the racial distinction provides a virtually im- passable barrier.

Excellent Singing, Poor Orchestra Characterize Arts Night Music by Barbara Bettman ’49 Arts Night music covered almost every field-except opera—and even this. was ayed. Outstanding event of the eVening, to no one’s great surprise, was the singing of Bryn Mawr’s Double Octet and the Haverford (single) Octet. Much credit is to be extended to the girls themselves for their excellent and professional arranging, and as al- ways, one marveled at Mrs. de Var- on’s complete control of her singing group. One feels that those who sing under her are not only sing- ing exactly as she wants them to but also in the exact way demand- Modern Dancing Lacks Confidence; Solos Outstanding by Helen Male 49 A certain element of self-con- sciousness pervaded most of the dancing performance at Arts Night. This was most_plainly vis- ible in the Study of Technique, in which the faces of the danseuses could be seen by the audience. A grim look of unrelaxed coneentra- tion from the neck up, and stiff unexpressiveness from the waist down characterized this part of the performance. Most of the rest of the program followed suit with the exception of Thalia Argyropolo’s “Temple Ritual.” “The Study of Technique” began with the entrance of two dancers executing a light step which swung from the knee. As soon as the primary direction of action was lost in a more complicated chore- ‘ography, their careful precision disappeared and was replaced by tight, fettered action which was disturbing. “Oppressed,” a dance seen from the back, although’ beginning with interesting individual movements, soon overplayed” itself; losing” its simplicity, and the serious ap- proach of the audience. Marjorie Low, ’50,- freed from the drum to the comparative warmth and inspiration of a phon- ograph record, began her dance well in a restrained, graceful fash- ion, but worked up to a climax too quickly and tried to hold it too long.” Her dance lost its character Continued on Page 6 Navy Training, Bubble Gum Fit Undergrad Pres. for Office by Helen Martin °4 “Miss Burch, tell me, did you find it difficult to readjust yourself to civilian life?” “Oh for crying in six beers.” “Do you find, Miss Burch, that you are finer, deeper, broader, after your life in the services?” “Broader. My horizons, that is.” “In what ways, Henny (growing more intimate), did your navy life fit you to be a better student at Bryn Mawr?” | “After two years in the services, I flunked the hygiene exam.” “You were in the WRENS for two years, Henny.

Rhythm and proper feeling for each individual song are most im- portant in spiritual singing; the choruses understood this. “Cookie” is almost a synonym for “rhythm,” and the group sang with such evi- dent enjoyment and spirit that the audience might conceivably have wondered whether there is a_pos- sible method whereby twenty-four singers can synchronize their vis- ible systems for keeping time! The familiar “Witness,” re-arranged by Nancy Knettle, had a ‘new twist, and Ann Eberstadt’s medley of and “When a Woman Blue” was unusual and very lovely. “Titanic,” arranged by Henny Burch, is fascinating to hear, with its chorus for high so- pranos—who receive quite a com- plement in the person of Betty Smith, whose delightful voice is euphemistically called second alto. Continued on Page 2 Student Paintings Lack Individuality But Display Talent by Katrina Thomas.249. In an age when individuality and experiment are particularly ap- parent in the arts, Bryn Mawr stu- dents seem to be able to offer only run-of-the-mill subjects painted in a prosaic manner. This character- izes the art exhibit shown in the foyer of Goodhart last week. However, some of the pictures reveal--considerable~ talent, partic- ularly evident in the work of Bar- bara Smith ’50, of Diana Huzagh ’49 and of Helen Hale ’49. Bar- bara’s three pictures all show a feeling for composition, for color and a strong, decisive brushstroke. The force of her black and white portrait of a man lies. in, its..spon-. taneity especially evident in the eyes of her subject, while the long streaming lines of her abstract saint lend themselves particularly well to watercolor. Barbara is to be remembered for her artistic backdrops for the Freshman Show. Diana Huzagh’s painting of the side of a building with its dark, flaming colors in contrast with the white untouched paper is extreme- ly forceful and yet only suggestive: of reality. Helen Hale’s remarkable feeling ‘for movement is apparent in her tempera brush-drawing of a group of figures, and her Flower Vendor. Both pictures give the feeling of having been effortlessly done by Continued on Page 2 CALENDAR Thursday, March 13 7:30, Spanish House.

But I have seldom seen so unreal and so un- convincing a character. When Phil, the boy-friend, walked out on her I could only think that it was the smartest thing he ever did in his life. Her aptitude for utter- ing cliche after cliche wa3 rivalled only by a saccharine sweetness which might well have driven any man to drink. Kathy, Skeet and Joan share an apartment in Los Angeles—for the one act of the play. Skeet and Joan are more or less recognizable characters who have learned that ythe world is not always shrouded in a rosy glow, the way Kathy thinks of it.

Lively Comedy Proves Enjoyable; Roles Well Cast by Louise Ervin '49 Goodhart, March 8: Rapidity and a considerable degree of finish of performance against a gay and well executed set made Faithfully Yours a lively and colorful con- clusion to Arts Night. The author- director, James F. Adams, is to be commended for his success in pre- venting a trivial idea from degen- erating into the triteness which well-worn plot, setting and -char- acters made a distinct risk. In spite of devices which one usually avoids in amateur stage produc- tions whenever possible, such as eating and telephone conversations, Adams evaded most of the usual cliches, and the net result was a pleasant and thoroughly entertain- ing comedy in which the light touch was preserved throughout. The parts wefe well cast and on the whole ni oh to sustain con- vincing, if somewhat typed, roles putting their lines across with re- markable clarity in spite of the proverbial handicaps of Goodhart auditorium. At times Marcia Dembow as Christine Drake tend- ed to dominate the scene exclusive- ly, but during most of the perform- ance the other actors prevented Faithfully Yours from becoming a one star show by well timed and appropriate stage business and promptly spoken lines. The initial effect of the play was excellent; good lighting and a clev- erly constructed set provided the requisite number of exits without artificiality and a doorway to a terrace, with the aid of green foot- lights and spots, at the back left of the stage completed the atmos- phere of “the present, a summer ther enhanced by such well chosen details as Christine’s watering of the plants on the terrace.

Al- though this program was the specific creation of a small group, enthusiasm spread and the majority of the undergrad- uates watched with interest and eagerness the efforts of the drama group and other manifestations of the movement. Cre- ation, the desire for individual and group artistic production in any number of forms, seemed at first to be a universal re- action among the undergraduates away from the more highly organized and rigid group activities then existing on campus. Last spring saw the first Arts Night—the first concerted effort on the part of all groups working along creative lines. Its success is to be attributed to two important factors, each essential to the other, and both sadly lacking in the Arts Night we have jyst witnessed: spontaneity on the part of the “creators” and receptiveness on the part of those whose func- tion is to witness and to judge. Artistic productions of any kind must necessarily be the work of a few; the group must be flexible in membership, ready to receive new ideas and new techniques, but it must not seek to enlarge or perpetuate it- self by the addition of people who can only attempt to create from a sense of moral duty to participate. While ambition must always be a part of creation, those who: are presenting Arts Night make a serious mistake in feeling that they must fill a definite program, patterned after previous performances. If the material which is of merit is insufficient to permit of an entire evening’s performance, they should content themselves with a smaller, well-done presen- tation; their efforts will count for much more. Artistic pro- duction must not become stereotyped; without flexibility and spontaneity it will defeat its creative purposes, and the achievements will be mediocre at best. Given a receptive and intelligent audience, the artistic members of the campus will be free to develop their talents and to offer them for evaluation. Those whose abilities lie in other directions must not, on the other hand, allow them- selves to relax into lazy contemplation or disregard.

Conf. Outlines Publications and Advertising Jobs Deanery, March 10. At -the second large vocational conference of the year the subjects of Publishing and Advertising were discussed by three former students of Bryn Mawr who are employed in these fields. Those speaking were Mar- jorie Catron 742, of Simon and Schuster, April Oursler ’46, of the Readers’ Digest, and Mary Hemp- hill ’44, of N. W. Ayer and Son. Miss Catron stated that anyone wanting to break into the publish- ing field must be “willing to empty wastebaskets, if necessary,” while acquiring the experience necessary to make her a really valuable part of the firm. She emphasized the value of a knowledge of typing and shorthand and, if possible, ability to read one or more foreign lan- guages, especially in the early stages of a career in publishing. Know Your Magazine April Oursler advised that “‘be- fore you try to get a job on a magazine, be sure you enjoy read- ing magazines, and especially that one.” Before applying it is a good idea to make a study of the maga- zine you would like to work for, of its policies, its reading public, and the type of material it specializes in. In the magazine field as well as in publishing, a knowledge of secretarial work is very important. A good idea for a beginner is to get a job on a small magazine where she has an opportunity to at- tempt all the different kinds of work connected with putting out a publication. This wide range of experience will be very useful in later work on a larger magazine. Advertising Work Mary Hemphill stated that in advertising work, and especially its business end, employers are chiefly interested in people with experience in planning things. They are more concerned wth extra-cur- ricular activities and hobbies than with what subject one has majored in. There are four main divisions in the work of a large advertising firm—research, creative work, the business side, and the service divi- sion. The first includes studying the company which desires to ad- Continued on Page 5 Student Art Shows Variety and Talent Continued from Page 1 someone who is confident in her use of the brush. The same effortless grace is shown in the anonymous- ly painted autumn trees. Sando] Stoddard ’48’s red, brown and purple painting, suggestive of the barren desert is striking for its color although it is very simple in concept. The black and _ white sketch of the three women watch- ing the children at play is an ex- cellent caricature of matronly stances reminiscent of Helen Hok- inson. The charming simplicity of an anonymously painted city street in an oval design, as if seen through an arch, is effective in its unpretentiousness. Mary Bord- man’s massive figures on a sombre beach are effective but seem labor- ed. The seemingly childlike Car- ousel is one of the few fearless pic- tures exhibited, showing that the painter has art on her mind rather than representation of reality. It has sophisticated design and gay coloring. Opinion Fencing is Neglected; Pentagonal Meet Unpublicized To the Editor: It should be called to the atten- tion of the News that,. as far as publicity is concerned, one sport is being entirely neglected. Hockey, basketball, swimming receive full publicity whether the games are won.or lost—but not fencing! Fenc- ing has not once been mentioned in the News this year. Few peo- ple.in the college realize that the annual Pentagonal Fencing Meet took place in New Haven on March 1.. Bryn Mawr competed against Vassar, Radcliffe, Albertus Mag- nus, and Mount Holyoke. We placed second in the team compe- tition, and second and fourth in the individual competition. Everyone reads about our teams beating Beaver or Ursinus—doesn’t fencing rate any publicity? How about it! Sincerely, Ann Chowning ’50 !

Knettle’s Play, Continued from Page 1 idealistic ravings, and Phil’s_ in- cessant self-debasement. One could allow this trite, tried and tested flot to pass without comment, for a real situation was being exposed, but the unreality with which it was presented was the thing at fault. Phil and Kathy, “the boy and girl,’ never come alive at all. A series of cliches does not constitute reality. It does jar the audience to a point almost beyond belief. When Phil calls on the phone, Kathy’s dewy-voiced “Hello there yourself” is calculat- ed to make most audiences wince. This audience audibly groaned. When Phil appeared he looked and acted more like a gangly fifteen year old than a war veteran. To an adolescent youth Kathy’s sug- gestion that they drink a “coke” might have been appealing. But if Phil was anything like he-said he was, Kathy should have shed her idealism just long’ enough to offer him a good stiff highball. The exposition of the play was fairly well handled. The develop- ment was vaguely discernible. The production was utterly ruined by the unreality of Kathy’s and Phil’s characterizations. Phil was the “I am unworthy of you, kick me twice around the block” kind of charac- ter who walked out on his girl. Then she knew that underneath it all he simply was NOT what he said he was. I do not believe that real people in a similar situation would say the things that these two said to each other. The epi- sode sounded forced, and the act- ing. was even more so.

Although the three ap- proached the problem of strikes in the major industries from entirely different angles, Mr. Morehouse representing Management and Mr. Harris, Labor, some of the conclu- sions reached were virtually iden- tical. Mr. Morehouse opened the dis- cussion by presenting his ideas on the striking of workers in essen- tial industries. The major prob- fem, said Mr. Morehouse, is “How to organize relations with employ- ees to avoid interruptions of serv- ice to the public.” After the break- down of collective bargaining there are four possible recourses; Arbi- tration, compulsory or otherwise, Conciliation, Mediation and State Seizure. Mr. the Morehouse expressed “collective bargaining with respon- sible unions” than with the former. His main comment on strikes was that “It may be warranted to put limitation on the timing of the right to strike” in the cases under discussion (power, transportation, utilities etc.). “The right to work means the right to work at all times—not at Continued on Page 4 Singing Stands Out Amidst Other Music Continued from Page 1 Betty’s arrangement of ‘Wide, Deep, Troubled Water” is poignant and beautiful, while “Ain’t That Good News” packs a real punch in its two stunning opening solo lines. The encore, “There isa Balm—in Gilead,” was a fine conclusion and gave the audience a chance to hear Posy Johnson’s lovely soprano. It is now necessary to take up the problems of the orchestra. The audience, extremely rude during the two. opening numbers, never- theless is justified from an artis- tic standpoint. No one expects the New York Philharmonic. However, one does have a right to expect a group which plays together and in time. When the individual mem- ‘bers, most of whom seem to wun- derstand and take pleasure in mu- sic and in their individual instru- ments, finally achieve that moment when they are playing together— such as when they immediately be- gin to follow the lead of the piano —the orchestra sounds creditable.

It is to be hoped that this talent will not wait for another formal Arts Night to show itself still further; perhaps a night of original music could be arrang- ed between the two colleges. We await eagerly the advent of more new music, from either our “estab- lished” composers or from talent as yet undiscovered. ee ee ‘Porter, Newbold, Eaton, Thomas Nominated for Self-Gov.

Holyoke fencer taking first indi- vidual honors. The teams partici- pating were Vassar, Radcliffe, Mt. Holyoke, Albertus Magnus and Bryn Mawr. Bunny Wood, ’50, won second place in the individual scoring com- petition, losing to Munn, of Mt. Holyoke. Vera Blansfield, ’49, placed fourth, *giving way to a Vassar fencer. From the first bouts, in which all participated, a certain number were entered in the semi-finals, to choose the individ- ual winners. All of the Bryn Mawr fencers made the semi-finals, and Wood and Blansfield were chosen for the finals, in which the team und individual winners were deter- mined. What To.

With the aid of Sheila Tatnall as Lorelei, the lively young maid who spends most of her waking moments absorbed in reading tragic love stories of the magazine var- iety, David Blackwell succeeded in traversing-the opening moments of the play with a minimum of diffi- culty. Lorelei’s voice was excel- lent, with just the right inflection and a smattering of artificiality in her well acted earnestness. David Blackwell seemed somewhat at a loss, but managed to retreat be- hind his spectacles with sufficient poise until the entrance of Marcia Dentbow as Christine Drake gave- him more of a reason for acting. After an entrance which at once awoke the audience, Marcia played the clever and attractive wife of script writer Drake with continu- ity, and at the same time managed to achieve a considerable amount of variety, which the other char- acters lacked. Her attempts to help Carl write a scenario concern- ing a young married couple who have been unfaithful are diverse and amusing. “She contrives” to come out on top in one way or an- other, at times with such retorts as “you don’t ask your friends how they’ve been unfaithful!” With the entrance of Mr. Basser- man, the mailman, Christine turns her efforts toward seeking practi- cal information for her husband from each character who comes on Continued on Page 4 by Marian Edwards ’50 “We are not producing any new drug or dye down here in Park”, said Dr. Marshall Gates, Associate Professor of Chemistry, the other day. “This is purely academic re- search.” This year, Dr. Gates has been continuing his work in syn- thetic organic chemistry under a Frederick Gardner Cottrell Grant. The grant, awarded by the Re- search Corporation on a competi- tive basis, enables the holder to carry out studies in a particular scientific field. It also provides for the employing of a full time as- sistant, besides supplying money for chemicals and laboratory ma- terials. In this Cottrell grant, Dr. Gates is furthering work which he start- ed before the war. Explaining briefly to the lay reporter, Dr. Gates said that he and his assist- ant were “working on some reac- | tions that might illumine tions.” . This especially the reactions of quinones.

Jean Brachet at vaiton Hall on the evening of Thursday, March 6. M. Brachet is a proiessor at the University of Brusseis, and is now Visiting at the University of Pennsyivania. His lecture was on “New Trends in Mmoryology.” ‘ne vaiue of embryology as a field of stuay, both anatomical and chemical, lies in its rapid growth and ciarity of difterentiation as - weil as its function as a “closed system,” uninnuenced by its en- vironment except tor the exchange of gases. M. brachet pointed out that this “closed system” makes the embryo a valuaple test-field from the experimenter’s point of view; the dimerentaation of embry- onic cells is a fundamentally im- portant problem in Biology, and in the embryo the change of the undiserentiated cells to ceils of the heart or intestine or brain may be studied best for its own intrinsic interest, and for the understand- ing of such problems as the “an- archial growth” of cancer. Chemical Embryology Chemical embryology, Mr. Bra- chet’s special field, would never have been possible without the ef- forts of men like William Harvey (who first. formulated the belief that all animals originate from fertilized egg cells); Leuwenhoek and Pasteur (who combatted the theory»of spontaneous generation); Spalianzani (the first true experi- mental embryologist); and the German biologists of the last cen- tury who studied localization in the embryo, and the action of the - organizer. The organizer is the area which later develops into the muscles and cords; it intiuences the upper half of the embryo to form the nervous system; otherwise the cells would form skin. Technical Advances Great technical advances, M. Brachet pointed out, have speeded Chemical Embryology along in the past ten years. Meters have been developed, delicate enough to mea- sure the life actions of small em- bryonic areas and the exchange of gases. He explained that three new theories have been put for- ward about egg-fertilization: that of Lillie, that the egg gives out a substance to stimulate and attract the sperm; of Loeb that the egg goes through a destructive phase, immediately after fertilization and then reverses; and Bataillu that the egg is there before fertiliza- tion because of intoxication, but the advent of the sperm releases the toxic substances. Chemical embryologists have partially and tentatively identified the stimulat- ing substance of the organism that leads the cell-differentiation, as nucleic acid. M. Brachet expects rapid ad- vances in Chemical Embryology in the near future, and insists on the indebtedness of this work in the past to the embryological studies that preceded it, |B. M. Victorious Over Swarthmore Gym, March 8. Bryn Mawr car- ried off the victory from Swarth- more in the next to the last bas- ketball game of the season. The first team triumphed 28-14, while the second team tied at 18-18. the day was shown by Ning Hitch- cock, first team forward, who made 17 points. Swarthmore moved well as a team, but seldom pulled off the brilliant interceptions or long shots of Bryn Mawr. The second teams were evenly matched, though Swarthmore set the pace during the first half, and Bryn Mawr rooters were in a crit- ical condition by the end of the game. The last game of the season will be on Wednesday, March 12 with Rosemont, at Bryn Mawr. Adams’ Play Proves Entertaining, Skillful Continued from Page 3 stage. Herbert Cheyette did as much as possible with the part al- lotted to him, and succeeded in con- vineing his audience anew of Chris- tine’s powers. Perhaps he was necessary as fill-in during the in- terval between Drake’s telephone conversation with Bruno Staunch- ion and the producer’s arrival at the Drake home. Don Shoffstall, a late comer to the cast of Faithfully Yours, was excellent as the burly producer for whom “domestic tran- quility has been violated.” His en- trance was poor; indeed one felt that he was a trifle uncertain as to precisely how he got there, but once on stage his portrayal of the Pagliacci of comedy was commend- able. His disillusionment and ser- ious observations on life were just what was needed from a man who intended to bring his wife back home by writing a movie about her, one who felt above all that “a man cannot live by humor alone!” Of the smaller parts in Faith- fully Yours that of Hattie Arling- ton was by far the best portrayed. Ellen Harriman fitted perfectly into her role as the pleasantly tough, deep voiced *movie actress, ‘|married to a prominent producer. Her deep voice was used to the fullest advantage, and her costume completed the picture of the one type needed to complete the “movie set.” The eclat with which she hurled such epithets as “That Scrod!”—applied to her husband —brought down the house.

Pointing out that one man could always threaten to quit but “so what?” he continued. “The important freedom is the right to quit work collective- ly.” Mr. Harris also expressed the opinion that the main problem fac- ing management and labor alike is that the public doesn’t know the facts of each case. Mentioning a few instances in which management would not ac- cept Government findings for an increase in wage rates, Mr. Harris pointed out that in these cases there was-certainly..a justifiable reason to strike, but that the pub- lic never had the opportunity to learn the whole story in such cas- es. Mr. Harris concluded that the problem of curtailing strikes rests first on industry, because they must change their attitude and re- alize that unions are here to stay, and secondly, on the public to de- termine fairly who is responsible for each strike. s ‘“Tf you bargain and have noth- ing to lose by not bargaining— there is no incentive to bargain,” pointed out Mr. Bachrach. “There must be a pitfall of economic loss and suffering on both sides,” he continued in pointing out the need for the right to strike. Further- more, he pointed out that there must be an equalization of pres- sure groups, citing the situation in England as an example. “If you attempt to break down labor you can’t do it by passing laws because labor immediately moves to the political field.” As solutions to the problem Mr. Bachrach mentioned three courses he believes necessary. ‘First, the strengthening of collective bargain- ing, in which he stated that the role of Government was to defeat all legislation curtailing the rights or abuses of labor and second the strengthening of the Labor move- ment in this country with more dis- cipline-and_realization of -responsi=-|+ bilities.
