In his opening statement, Mr. O’Faolain made it clear that the major problem of the modern novelist is to analyze ‘and clarify his characters and situations in view of the complexities of the so- ciety of today. Modern fiction is no longer clear- cut, with the struggle between hero and villain well-defined, It is ideas put forth by the author un- acters suffer as a result. They be-. come unsure and fail to live in the reader’s imagination. Mr. O’Faolain, who has suggest- ed that the title of his lecture would better be “Six Novelists in light of the work of six major contemporary writers. Those whose ‘work he chose to examine} e in Modern Fiction were, Grahame Greene, Heming- way, Faulkner, Elizabeth Bowen, Evelyn Waugh, and Joyce. ~Of Green, Mr. O’Faolain said that the contemporary lack of faith in man is reflected in his work. He employs a mystical es- cape from human nature, using miracles to help his characters get out of bad situations. Greene’s ob- sessive theme is one of betrayal; man by man, woman by man, and God by man. He believes that man has wo free will of his own, but must depend on a higher power to save him from situations of his own making. Hemingway, said Mr. O’Faolain, is similar to Greene in his mystic- al escape of human nature. Hem- ingway’s fetish is a mystical con- cept of heroism, almost always fo- cussed in a pointless death of the hero which somehow lifts the char- acter out of the ordinary.

Athletic Association Gives Awards And Delivers Club Reports At Awards Night On Wednesday night, April 15, in Applebee Barn, the Athletic Asso- ciation gave its annual awards and presented the reports of the A. A. clubs at Awards Night. Barbara Bornemann, the Presi- dent of A. A. for this past year, began Awards Night by welcoming everyone to Applebee Barn, and introducing the chairmen of the various clubs sponsored by A. A., who presented their reports: The Hockey, Basketball, Badmin- ton, Tennis, Baseball, and Lacrosse teams were somewhat unsuccessful in intercollegiate sports, but felt that their lack of success was. in some measure due to the lack of campus interest and participation in these clubs. Outing Club Reports The Outing Club reported a very successful year, during which three trips were taken, with an average number of 25 participants on them. The Swimming team and the Fencing team both reviewed a winning year. The latter team was undefeated all year,and-two of its members took part in the National Fencing Meet . The Dance Club, too, under its new policy of having instruction by Mrs. ‘Brutten, who teaches mod- ern dance in the gym department, has had a very interesting and full year. After the reports of the various organizations, of the A. A. had been given, Barbara Bornemann began the presentation of awards. They were as follows: Blazer (earned by 4000 points) to Lois Bodnsal ’54; special pins (also earned by 4000 points) bo Phyllis Tilson ’54 and Marilyn Muir ’54; pins (2500 points) to Alicia Gardiner ’54; Deirdre Han- na 755; Sally Kennedy’ ’55; Caro- line Morgan ’54; and Glenna Vare "BB.

We left behind the pink chateau, where clouds of fantail pigeons were flying around the towers, and looked at the gardens, Le Notre designed them: no flowers, only fountains and lawns and box bushes cut into curlicues and cones. The forest covers hundreds of acres. In places the trees are 30 thick that sunlight cannot fall to the ground; it is caught up in the leaves and changed into green mist.

Perhaps the best thing about these sun-lamps is that they allow everyone to get a tan—without overdoing it. Few people will spend two quarters in a row—even for a tan, so few people get really bad burns—the danger of “real” sun. Waiting a day in between, everyone gets more adjusted to both the idea of spending another quarter, and to the rays of the sun- lamp.

Bryn Mawrters Supervise Activities Of Some Philadelphia Y-Teen Groups Several afternoons a week, girls from Bryn Mawr take the P. & W. to Philadelphia to spend a few hours with Y-Teen groups there. There are several groups of girls, and the prospective leader chooses from among these which she shall guide. For example, among activities carried on are those of 6th graders who meet after school for an hour. The meeting starts off, im the best democratic tradition, with a busi- ness meeting, at which the busi- ness of the day is disposed of, and the all-important dues collected. ‘Then the group proceeds to do what was planned at the last meet- ing. This may be anything from making scrapbooks for hospitals to planning parties. - This year, there was a highly successful Hal- lowe’en party, to which each guest brought a contribution. To learn more about industry, the group took a trip. to an ice- cream factory, where the manufac- tiring process vied for their atten- tion with the free samples thought- fully provided. The girls, who are of high school age, decided that they wanted to get to know Phil- adelphia, and spent some time vis- itimg museums and other points of _linteresf in the city. * The Y-teens do not consist of underprivileged children, .although the girls are of all racial back- ‘grounds. They merely run on the theory that the more people do a thing, the more fun it is. Since this is the purpose of the Y-Teen groups, the leader néeds only ‘help the girls carry out the plans which they themselves decide on.

PRE ARIE EAN ONIN OTE RFE RES OWT TEES Te EPP ETOT F Pree on ie 2 PLL LS Se FE EER EE ERO TAFT MIE Provide Easy Tan | Current Events_. McCarthyism Is Rooted In U. S., Says Schneider Dr. Eugene Schneider, Assistant Peofessor of Sociology, spoke on ism” in Current Events last Mon- day night. Said Dr. Schneider, “McCarthyism has deep social and psychologieal roots in the United States.” Why does McCarthy have such a mass following and mass appeal? of his ideology, which is composed of one word, communism. He’ never defines communism, but. builds on our -rational fear of that force. McCarthy uses the word itself to denote something horrible, and anyone who has not sufficiently combatted. communism is contam- inated. ~ Aims at Exposure McCarthy feels that some. loyal, patriotic, courageous man like him- self must lead the fight against communism because ‘the govern- ment, schools, newspapers, radio--cannot be trusted to do so. Yet McCarthyism has no eco- nomic program, no plans for social reform, and no foreign policy. It merely aims at exposure. Dr. Schneider said that he was amazed at- McGarthy’s appeal as shown by recent Gallup polls. In January 1954, 48% of the people questioned were definitely. in favor of McCarthy. After his encount- ers with the army and radio com- mentators, 38% of those ques- tioned were still in favor of Mc- Carthy. This appeal cannot be localized or confined to certain classes or religions. Of the white ‘collar workers questioned 49% favored McCarthy and 50% were opposed to. his activities. 50% .of the laborers favored McCarthyism, while 23% were opposed to it. On an educational basis 47% of the college graduates questioned opposed to him. 54% of the high school graduates questioned fav- ored his policies, and this figure decreased as the amount of educa- tion decreased, Reason for Appeal According to Dr. Schneider, this wide appeal is dug, to some national malaise. People who have been de- prived of success, security, and a simple solution to their problems by modern society seek an outlet through McCarthyism. Since the Civil War we have been living in a dynamic society due. to urbanization, industrializa- tion, scientific advances, and changing social relations. People have been uprooted both socially McCarthy attacks those -respon- sible for this change—the intelli- gentsia, scientists, and the forces of urbanization. He provides ‘a scapegoat for those who have been hurt and seeks to recreate a Utop- ian image of a calm, tranquil America which has vanished. McCarthy’s backing, as distin- guished from his following, in- cludes those who give him financial and ideological support. In one sense he is the spokesman of the losers at the last national conven- tion. He is backed by a right wing element which is opposed to social improvements and increased inter- nationalism. a These elements are deeply rooted in our social structure and are ‘powerful and determined. ‘They will support McCarthy as long as he is useful to them. - McCarthy. as a man is not so im- portant.

Machado, one of the greater poets of modern Spanish literature, writes poetry concerning his philosophical beliefs. To him, poetry is a mystery of emotion, not a game of words, as it was to Gongora. Machado’s most. important poet- ry includes Soledades, Campos de Castilla, and Canciones. In Sole- daddes, the poet asks himself what is the nature of a solitary soul. Tis next work, Campos de Castilla. shows a’ transition from solitude and the individual to the country and poetry of nature. Realistic Philosophy Machado is not preoccupied with himself, but’ with the exterior world; through a love of the soli- tude of the world, he hopes to en- However, in his Poesia del. egoista,, he transmits his emotions and experiences to the reader. a Holden’s Monster In Machado’s epoch of-rationalism, portrayed in Campos de Castilla, we find an objective world. But the subjectiveness of thé poet also appears in this poetry. Many con- sider the play- between the two to be the theme of all Machado’s poetry. One of the outstanding features of Machado’s poetry is his realistic philosophy. This is a direct influ- ence from Bergson whom he studied ba ed in Paris. All that is im- portant to the poet is what he him- self perceives is a view reflecting this philosophy. Machado knows sorrow and an- guish in his poetry and is con- stantly seeking an outlet from them. He is a man who has felt “la Nada”, or the’ nothingness of death and believes that the solu- tion for tribulations or man’s great questions does not exist. Yet there is a note of hope in his be- liefs, for he has not ceased: to seek the solution, although he believes it is impossible to find one.

Without a healthy atmosphere there is no possibility of any even- tual solution. Mr. Bunche briefly discussed the problem in Palestine. He said: “Progress depends on the willing- ness of*states including” our own to exert concerted effort for peace.” As head of the Trusteeship Coun- cil, Mr. Bunche plays an important part in the solution of colonial problems. Taking over the powers of the old League of Nations, the United Nations supervises the con- trol or partial control of these backwards areas. It is in these areas; especially Africa, where na- | - tionalism presents tremendous problems for the world today. DEAR WEATHER MAN. MAY DAY. THIS YEAR WILL BE ON MONDAY, MAY 3.

This year the, theme was that of a Model Nation-) al Congress, with the election of a’ speaker of the house from among the delegates. The business of the Conference officially began at 6:30 on Thurs-' day evening, when a dinner was held at the Penn-Harris Hotel in Harrisburg. The speakers at the, gene McCarthy, Democrat from Minnesota, and a Harrisburg_at- torney who represented the Re- publican Party, both of whom spoke on the position of their par- ties in the National Government. After the dinner, a dance was held for all the delagates. On Friday morning, committee meetings began. The Congress. was made up of twelve~ committees, which were: Agriculture, Business tion, Foreign Affairs, Government Organization, Health and Welfare, Judiciary, Labor, Military Affairs, Natural Resources, and Taxation and Finance. Within these com- mittees, bills were presented, and Education for the Southeast Re- gion. Friday night, after the election of the Speaker of the. House, all the committees met together in the Educational Forum of the State Capitol, for a general ses- sion. Bills were presented and voted upon; -those passed were sent to the State Senators and Repre- sentatives as suggested legislation. ‘The general session of the ICG “Congress” continued until 5:00 on Saturday. Perhaps the most heated. debate during the session arose. concerning a bill to expel Senator ‘Joseph McCarthy from the Senate. The opposition to this bill accused the proposal of being “Communist inspired ... a delib- erate move to undermine the American way of life’. In spite of the great opposition to this bill, it. was passed by a--small majority, and was sent to the United States Senator from Penn- sylvania as a suggestion. At the end of the convention, there was an executive meeting at which it was decided that next year’s assembly will be’ a Model State Legislature.

Joyce, stated Mr. O’Faolain, re- jects. religion and country (place and tradition). Joyce created in himself a vacuum which he was unable to replace-with anything, and was in intellectual revolt against emotional connections. Ac- cording to Mr. O’Faolain, Joyce ac- tually staged a revolt against re- ality, and he warred against the authors negatively. Most artists recreate something that is there already. Joyce s himself up as a creator, and was one of the few authors who got away with his rebellion. Before he got bogged down in total unreality, Joyce produced two marvelous books, “Portraits of the Artist as ‘a Young Man,” and “Ulysses.” .His lapse into complete unreality came with “Finnegan’s Wake,” ‘but he had already become one of the great authors.

In reference to colonial peoples, Mr. Pickett said that before we can , attempt to aid them we must con- dition ourselves to understand how a situation looks from the other side. “We have to learn to pay respect to foolish notions people have about life,” and to accept’ their desire for dignity, often be- fore physical necessities such as food and clothes.
