Roosevelt

Of U.S. Women

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife

 

of the late President, noted jour-

nalist, author, and educator,
speak in the second Bryn Mawr
College Assembly on Current Af-
fairs, on Thursday, October 25, at
12:30 in Goodhart. The subject dis-
in Public

will

cussed will be Women
Employment.  {
Author of “My Day
biography, “The Moral Basis of
Democracy”, and “It’s Up to the
Women”, Mrs. Roosevelt is an act-

m auto-

ive worker for individual liberty.
' She has devoted a great deal of

her attention to the needs of dif-
ferent organizations in public life.
Although her outspoken interest in

the National Youth Congress and,

racial conflicts evoked much con-
demnation on the part of a few.
she received the Nation’s first an-
nual award for distinguished serv-
ice in the’ American social cause.
Her interest. in the democratic
rights of the individual has made
Mrs. Roosevelt an authority on
public social conditions.
Unfortunately last year Mrs.
Roosevelt was forced to cancel her
speaking engagement here. This
year, she will be entertained at a
small luncheon in the Deanery. The
lecture is open to the public.

College Chorus
Plans Concerts

 

One-fifth of the College, repre-
sented in the Bryn Mawr College
Chorus—the amalgamation of the
old Choir and Glee Club, will make
musical history for the coming
year.

The first concerts will be two
Christmas ones with Princeton in
which the Hallelujah Chorus from
the Messiah and a Bach cantata,
Das Neuseborne Kindelein, will be

sung. In March, the whole chorus |)

plans to go to Valley Forge to give
a coneert there, and on April 13,
the Yale Glee Club will join the
Chorus for a concert at Bryn
Mawr. :

The height of the season will
come when the Chorus, participates
in the Millbank Festival in Prince-
ton. In cooperation with the Prince-
ton Glee Club and members of the
New York Philharmonic Orches-
tra, they will present one of the
great oratories

“Hayden. ;
Because Chorus has one
hundred members this year, each

member will only be required to
sing alternate Sundays. An inno-
vation to improve the singing of
the members is the quartet trials,
scheduled for the first week in No-
vember.
Mrs. DeVaron and the officers will
-depend on tone, diction, ability to
follow the conductor, notes and
style . In this way, the chorus will
learn how to sing together as an en-
semble, and these trials will help in
the choice of smaller , singing
groups.

The five officers of the Chorus
meet with Mrs. Devaron every
Tuesday night to discuss the plans
of the Chorus and to bring up any

Bed-Making, Liaison Work Vary
Army Experiences of Mlle. Bree

 

by Lanier Dunn ’°47

“A brief but varied career in the
French army carried Mlle. Ger-
maine Bree from Morocco to east-

ern France and thence to Mannheime

during the last two years, Appar-
ently adept in a number of capa-
cities, Mlle Bree took. to liason
work like a duck: to water, but not

bed making in Morocco and had
supplied her hungry-thirsty divi-

Armed only with the knowledge

Bertram Morris
To Give Second
Delaguna Lecture

The second of the Theodore and
Grace LeLaguna Lectures in Phil-
osophy will be given on October 31
by Dr. Bertram Morris. The De-
Lagnua lectureship, established in
honor of the two philosophers long
associated with the Bryn Mawr
faculty, was opened last spring
with a talk by Dorothy Walsh, a
member of the department of Phil-

 

 

osophy at Smith College, and a for?

mer student of the DeLagunas.

Dr. Morris, assistant professor
at Northwestern University, will
speak on “The, Philosophy of Crit-
icism.” His book, The Aesthetic

Process, published in 1948, as one]’

of the Northwestern University
studies in the humanities, was well
received in philosophic circles. He
has also published, in philosophical
journals, such articles as The Met-

aphysics of Beauty, The Beauty of
Nature, and Intention and asia
ment in Art.

Dr. Morris, whose work lies pri-
marily in the field of aesthetics
and general theory of value, is a
native of Colorado, and studied at
the University of Colorado before
taking his B. A. at. Princeton. He
received his Doctor’s degree -at
Cornell, where he held the Sage
Fellowship in philosophy. His doc-
toral dissertation was entitled An
Analysis of the Aesthetic Experi-
ence and.of the Aesthetic Judgment
as Reflected upon a General Theory
of Value.

$1412.30 Collected

In Recent Drive

To Feed Europe

 

With the returns still incomplete
the Food for Europe Committee
reports a total of $1412.30 already

 

contributed by undergraduates,
graduates, faculty, and staff.

This amount, according to Mar-
garet McPhedran, ’46, head of the
Finance Committee, does not in-

of $500.00. In addition the prom-
ised contributions of several groups

lin the college community ‘have not

as yet come in.

Approximately eighty students
volunteered to work in préparing
the packages for mailing. ‘Actual
work on’ this project began Tues-
day night in the Red Cross Room.

Machinery has already been set
in operation to find an organiza-
tion similar to the Maison Frater-
nelle in another country through
which the Bryn Mawr Committee
can work. In this way they hope
to forestall more protests about
favoritigm in the choice of France
as the first recipient of our aid.
However the Committee Wishes to
point out that the same Ppgintless
objections can still be raised m the
selection of the second country.

Enough money has now been col-
lected to enable Bryn Mawr to in-
clude material necessities such as
syringes in the packages.

some of.the halls were generous,

Full Registration

Still Not Attained

The final results for the UVAP
registration are still unknown but
present statistics show that the
one hundred percent goal has not
yet been achieved and registration
in the halls will be held during the
week. Food packing received the
largest number of volunteers and
fourteen hundred dollars has been
collected for this. purpose. Roller
skating and dancing at Valley
Forge was another popular activity.
The Arts and Skills branch of the
Red Cross has acquired many new
participants.

Knitting is one of the activities
which aroused ‘the. least interest
and Gogo Waldman asserts that
“At least fifty percent of the un-
dergraduates can knit and they
should lay aside their personal
work and_aid_in knitting for Bel-
gium.” The new project which
comes under the Joint Committee
and includes working with the
United Nations Council and _ the
‘League of Women’s Voters has
been enthusiastically supported.

Approximate figures -show that
over two hundred students signed
up for various activities, and
these figures do not include many
upperclassmen who engaged in
volunteer work last year. In so far
as the News has been able to as-
certain the statistics for Thursday
and Friday registration are as fol-
lows. Under the Alliance projects
Food packing will be undertaken

|by 77 people, and there will be 42

Nurses Aides.

The Arts and Skills will have 13
members and there will be ten
students working at the canteen
and doing volunteer work at the
Bryn Mawr Hospital. The League
activities include roller skating and
dancing at Valley Forge for which
there are 64 workers, the Home for
Incurables will have 13 workers
and 24 people will be knitting for
Belgium, 8 students will work at
the Community Center, 38 will
read at the Blind School and the
Joint Committee has enrolled 34
people who are interested in es

 

but others gave very little.

Story of Flight

Undergraduate Scholar Tells

By Joan Black ’47

(Fanita Revici, the new Under-
graduate scholar, related her haz-
ardous experiences in war-torn
Europe to this reporter in a start-
lingly calm, slightly accented voice,
but with such deeply emotional in-

nsity that the situations became

ive and dramatic.

Fanita, who was born and lived
in Bucharest, Roumania, had mov-
ed to Paris in 1935. When that city
was overrun by the Germans, Fan-
ita was. attending a school on the
west coast of France. Strapping
as many belongings as possible on

War Chest

- There will be a drive on campus, beginning October 29,
for contributions to the United War Chest This may seem
to many students just another demand for money at a time
when funds are low from a rapid succession of other drives,
bookshop and Inn bills. The-College Council has made an at-
tempt to lessen this strain, but we have to realize that al-
though victory is here, we have yet to fight for a permanent
peace, and the least of its price must be paid in actual dona-
tions of money. The very fact that there have been so many
solicitations from Bryn Mawr students this fall indicates the
desperate need for our help.

Food must be sent to countries in Europe and Asia whose
people, forty million of them, face starvation. Medical»sup-
plies are almost non-existent; welfare and emergency relief
stations must be set up. The UNNRA has done a magnifi-
cent task in these lines, but there is a large field for special-
ized work which must be handled by private funds.

The War Chest also supports the Veteran’s agency. This
“service gives veterans information and counsel on health, le-
gal, and financial matters. Not to be forgotten are the other
home front problems; juvenile delinquency, rise in disease
and economic distress. - eatncun

USO activities are aided by the War Chest also. There
are nearly two million troops of occupation in Germany and
Japan, and wounded servicemen in hospitals, are visited by
USO camp shows.

These are only a few of the reasons why we should fully
support the United War Chest drive. October, 1945, is no
time to forget that individual help is still of vital importance
in winning that peace.

No Preaching, But...

. Atheism is an advariced intellectual position which does
not seem to us to be typical of or in the range of the average
college student. Yet attendance at Bryn Mawr chapel serv-
ices would tend to indicate that we live in a completely god-
‘less community. te ;
? Without meaning to preach, without trying ,in the least
to sound like a revivalist, or an Elsie Dinsmore, we do feel
that the campus is unfortunately unaware of the opportun-
ities open in the Sunday night services. We feel that this
lack of knowledge is unfortunate not only for those who
therefore do not go to chapel, but also for chapel itself whicli
» suffers.greatly from this lack of interest. Sb a
The chapel committee devotes a good deal of time and
trouble to the selection of speakers. No organization in the
_world has ever maintained a perfect interest record, and no
speaker can please every member of his audience. But the

Awaits Theatregoers
E ®®S At Shubert

it. The only person with anything
after this show is the fellow at
the box office. This show, which
opened at the Shubert Theatre in
Philadelphia on October 16th was
originally entitled Slightly Perfect
from the book by Sam Perrin and
George Balzer. Here is where the
authors overrated themselves a bit.

Nothing New

As evidence that there’s nothing

new over the footlights, this show
serves an excellent purpose. . Its
plot deteriorates around a mis-
placed decimal point which our
hero, Wilbur Haskins (Johnny
Downes) toys with at the Nutmeg
Insurance Company. Wilbur,: the
epitome of slight perfection in love.
making where he is not at all per-
| fect, leaves the insurance company.
and drowns his sorrow as elephant
boy at a carnival (apologies to
Lady in the Dark). The erotic Vi-
vian Reilly (Join Roberts), af-
fianced to Wilbur, traces him to
the site of the carnival in a sort of
modified camp-follower role. Here
is the nucleus of a very weak plot.

Malodies

The music is -decidedly malo-
dious. The potentialities. of good
lyrics in “When a -Good.. Man
Takes to Drink” are stewed by the
over-familiarity of its tune. Dolo-
res Gray, however, does. a fairly
decent job on the title number, and
it is also worthwhile to sit through
the second act if only to hear her
sing “You Gotta Keep Saying No”
to the rhythm of a swaying Lana
Turner torso, only: more so. Here
is where tunester Harry Revel
revels.

Joan Roberts, stale from her
period role in Marinka, turns out
a winsome performance despite
her losing personality. The per-
formance of the midgets in the
production surpasses their stature,
and Johnny Downes acts in a typi-
cally horn-rimmed fashion. |

There seems to have been some
confusion over our closing line last
week. Explanation: No show in re-
hearsal will ever violate supersti-
tion by speaking the actual cur-
tain line. Till opening night they
substitute “Fasa, fasa, fasa”. So
we say fasa, fasa, fasa.

ing on the professional, yet all too often the singing choir
outnumbers the congregation. :
Few Bryn Mawr undergraduates even bother to go to
chapel. Partly this is due to a lack of publicity. Partly, too,
it is the result of an attitude on the part of upperclassmen
who have never acquired the habit of attending, and there-
fore unwittingly discourage the Freshmen. |
But more concretely the fault seems td us to lie predom-.
inantly in the spirit generated by the type of service held at
Bryn Mawr. A classroom atmosphere dominates-the Music
Room. .No religious feeling is too easily acquired in a room
with blackboards for a backdrop. And the basically fine idea
of a non-denominatioal service had in these past years de-
generated into a complete lack of “any attempt at something
conducive to a spiritual setting. :
.Over-intellectuality is an eternal and unqualified foe of
religion, and over-intellectuality is fostered by the barren
atmosphere of our chapel services. We do not ask that the
Bryn Mawr girl become universally devout. We only sug-
gest that she recognize the ‘for a certain amount of

Current Events

 

“Marcelle Parde, who was, first
Assistant, then Associate Professor
at Bryn Mawr from 1919 to 1929,
died of starvation last January, in
the’ German’ Concentration Camp
for Women Political prisoners at
Ravensbruck. |

“The distinguished head of the
great girls’ lycee at Dijon, she had
organized among the women of
her faculty and staff a unit of the
resistance movement and had fur-
nished to the Allied headquarters,
preparing the invasion, invaluable
information about the movements
of the Germans in Burgundy.

“In August 1944, her secret code
was discovered by the Gestapo at
,;the Paris headquarters with which.
she communicated and she was ar-
rested together with all her com-
panions save one. This one, Mlle.

treicher, has revealed the activi-
ties of the unit. Professor Maurice
Parde of the University of Gren-
oble, Mile. Parde’s brother, has
learned from a survivor of Rav--
ensbruk the story of the heroic
end of his sister and her group,
not one of whom has returned.

“They are moving stories for
Mlle.. Parde’s Bryn Mawr friends.
‘Bryn Mawr’ was the password she
gave to her companions engaged
in their dangerous missions. The
‘B. M.’ designated her
among the. resistance forces. It

will be no surprise to those of us.
who knew her to hear that her
courage never failed and that she
sustained hundreds of others whose
spirits were less strong than hers.
er heroic action has been recog~
nized in France. The Dijon lycee
is now named Le Lycee Marcelle
Parde. It would seem to me an
appropriate expression of our af-
fection and an appropriate tribute:
to her if the French Teaching Fel-
lowship at Bryn Mawr miglit be
called the Marcelle Parde Teaching.
Fellowship.”

The above is an extract from a.
letter from Miss Schenck to Miss.
McBride. At the last meeting of
the Board of Directors, the motion
was carried to name the Fellow-.
ship in memory of Mlle. Parde.

Attention was also called to the
fact that a large modern history

“Ghouls” Inspire
Merion’s Victory

Over Rockefeller

Arrayed in black tunics emblaz-
oned with white skulls and cross-
bones, the Gory Ghouls emerged
on Sunday afternoon from the
dark, dank depths of Merion to tf,

 

 

umph over the Rockefeller a
y

team 6-8. The Ghouls were
assisted by Hope Kaufmann of the
Spanish house as right inner,
sporting her “policia del buen ve-
cino.”

In the first minute of play,
Rock’s star center forward, Bob
Boas ’49, shot the ball into the
Merion goal, but promptly the
Ghouls tallied for their side. Dur-
ing the first half the teams played
equally slowly and sloppily, and

the play see-sawed between the,

two goals, to the accompaniment
of wild and spirited cheering.
“From ghosties and ghoulies, and
long-legged beasties, and things
that go boomph in the night, Good
Lord deliver Rock” chanted the
- Ghouls, but the undaunted Rock
team kept up with their gory op-
ponents, and at half-time the score
stood 3-3.

At this point, however, the Ghoul
mascot, an astoundingly ugly Eng-
lish bulldog, christened Calcifrri-
cified, ambled onto the field. In-
spired by his appearance, they
sang “Happy is the day, when
Rhoads we’re gonna play as we
go oozing on—stiff corpse’, and
in the second half-nothing could
penetrate the black and white de-
fense. The Ghoul cheering squad
burst into a plea for the fourth
goal. The team immediately com-
plied and during the ensuing howls
of delight, the fifth and last tally
was scuffled into the goal.

Wien the umpire, Alice Hedge
46, blew the final whistle, both
teams weaved off the field, very
much the worse for wear.. Back
home in Merion, grateful Ghouls
fed eleven jellied doughnuts, orig-
inally intended for Rockefeller con-
sumption, to their beloved Calcifri-
cified.

Vogue To Explain

“Prix de Paris”

On Friday, October 26, at 7:30,
Miss Jane Hutchinson will speak
in the Deanery to the Seniors who
are interested in the Vogue Prix
de Paris contest.

A recent letter from Kate Rand,
Bryn Mawr ’45, and this year’s
contest winner, gives a glowing
account of her work as a Junior
Fashion editor. Kate has been on
an “orientation tour” which led to
trips through House and Garden
and Vogue Pattern Book.

She is now doing copy for Vogue
until her trip to Paris is more than
a possibility. Kate says “There is
absolutely no catch to the Prix.
You don’t have to know anyone
on the staff, you don’t have to be
notoriously glamourous or witty.
They honestly want people with
good education and.a natural flair.”

‘Miss ,Hutchison graduated from
Smith in 1944 and won the Prix
de Paris contest in that year. She
was a Powers model while in col-
lege and is now a Junior Fashion
Editor of Vogue. At the present

 

to various colleges to interview the
contestants, but she is slated for
Vogue’s Paris office as soon as the
office opens.

B. M. Team Opens
Hockey Season.

Owls Defeat Drexel;
Lose To MCC

 

Playing its first opponents of the
year, the Bryn Mawr Varsity Hoc-
key team lost to the Merion Crick-
et Club in a fast match, 4-3, on
| October 17, but ongOctober 19, the
/Owls broke through the Drexel
|line to win 4-0.

| M. C. C.

The long clean passes, perfect
teamwork, and
shots at goal of the well-seasoned
Merion Cricket Club players were
a joy to watch. Although they
lacked a .goal-keeper in the first
half, the score stood in their favor
3-2. In the second half, the Bryn
Mawr left wing, Betts McClure,
748, carried the ball the full length
of the field to pass it to her inner,
Ellen Carey ’47, who flicked it into
Merion’s goal. But the Club play-
ers had already scored their fourth
goal, and despite the Owls’ strong
and determined defense and well-
coordinated forward line, Merion
won 4-3,

 

Drexel

game, most of the play centered
around the Drexel goal except for
a spirited dash by a Drexel forward
in the second half, who lost the
ball only to the B. M. goalie, Hyatt
*4T, The Owl goals were made-by
Kaufman ’48, playing right wing
who hit a superb shot from the
side, Richardson °46, Carey ’47,
and Edwards ’49. Coordination be-
tween the members of the team
characterized the game, with the
backs keeping the ball in the circle
by hard hits and skillful passing.

In the second team game with
‘Drexel, the Owls. were- again -vic-
torious 5-0. In the first half only
one goal was made by B. M., but
in the second half increased pass-
ing and harder hitting raised the
score to five.

Inciden
The Student Advisor system of-
ten confuses Freshmen, but we
heard yesterday of a Haverford
man who is now thoroughly sus-
picious of all Bryn Mayr girls. His
gate had .turned sweetly to him
ad said, “Today I got my perma-
nent S. A.” And he didn’t think
she meant “essay” either.

One of our wardens couldn’t un-
derstand why Mr. Diez gave her
the cold shoulder the other morn-
ing. She went to greet him with
a cheery “Good day,” and instead
came out with “Gutt Gott!” She
couldn’t speak German at sight.

The life of the editors of the
News during tryout time is one of
fear ad trembling as they face mul-
titudes of high-school editors with
“professional” experience. We had
just finished explaining to one
Freshman that a news article is
similar to “an inverted pyramid”,
with the essense of the story at
the top, dwindling into nothingness
at the bottom of the pyramid.- With
distinctly worried mien ‘she shook
her head and said, “But geé, I

tally...

can’t type that well”.

And incidentally, there was the
Freshman we met the other day
who is still wondering where, why,
and how she’s going to matriculate,
and would she have to do it in
public. ‘

Haverford men invaded the Soda
Fountain last night to sell chances
on a Silver Fox Neckpiece, whose
probable origin was a pawn shop.

Their advances were repelled _by
one supercilious Bryn Mawrtyr
who retaliated, “I don’t accept

silver foxes from. wolves.”

lish. In order to reach safety it

was necessary to cross the so-

called white zone, which was com-

pletely patrolled by the Germans.
While oae contingent. of German

troops marched through, they hid
in the woods along the side of the
road and covered their heads .with
leaves. In spite of the crying of
a three-weeks-old baby, their pres-
ence was not discovered. Then, be-
fore the next German troops ar-
rived, they were forced to run the
two miles to-safety. But Fanita’s
modést comment is that many oth-
ers have been subjected to similar
experiences and that “I was lucky”.

Fanita next went to: Mexico
where she lived for four years prior
to coming to Bryn Mawr.
