| | VOL. L, NO. 2 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1953 Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1953 PRICE 20 CENTS Academic Year Officially Opens At Convocation Great Increase Noted In Registration For Year “Miss Katharine McBride official- ly opened the new academic year on Tuesday morning, September 29, in Goodhart Hall with an ad- dress to the college. She first gave some facts and statistics of inter- est concerning the college commun- ity and then turned to the subject of the responsibilities of the edu- cated woman in her own commun- ity and professional or business life. ‘ The academic year 1953-1954 op- ened with an unusually large reg- istration. There are more gradu- ate students than there have been in the past two years, approximate- ly the same number of freshmen and fewer transfer students. What accounts for the size of the group is the fact that a larger number of undergraduates returned to college than had been predicted. There are 610 undergraduate students in all this year compared to the record registration previously held. About twenty percent of the graduate school consists of foreign students, while less than five per- cent of the undergraduates are foreign. These students come from twenty-four countries and are un- der the guidance of Mrs. Diez. ‘The present freshman class is very like its predecessors in age and ability. The freshmen come from 1381 different schools among which Brearley, Bronx High School of Science and the Hunter High School each sent four students. In this group sixty-five public schools, sixty-four independent schools and two foreign schools are represent- ed. ® Continued on Page’4, Col, 3 Bryn Mawr Begins 53-54 College Year With Parade Night By Lynn Badler, 56 Rhoads was in its annual danger of burning down as all classes celebrated the first tradition of the school year, Parade Night. Of course, the danger was only hypo- thetical for nearby stood the staunch and loud yet musical Fire- men’s band which escorted the Freshmen from Pembroke Arch to Rhoads’ backyard, accompanying their powerful singing with music. Had a mishap occurred, the fire;-| men were \ready to fill their instru- ments with water and go to work! The Class of ’57 hopefully sang its song, “The Campbells are Com- ‘ling” to the rows of solemnly cap- ped and gowned Juniors and Sen- iors, as they tramped through the darkness. However, disillusion dis- solved their gaiety, for when they. reached the great leaping bonfire, the glow it radiated illuminated a circle of dancing Sophs singing a parody on the discovered song. Garbed in jeans and shirts and somewhat singed by its proximity to the conflagration, ’56 presented a formidable bulwark against the onrushing hoard of ’57’ites. 757, failing to break through the solid Sophomore circle fell back, defeat- ed. Forming an outside circle, the vanquished danced cheerfully any- how. For several minutes pande- monium reigned,..as. each class strove to out-shout and out-shriek the other. ar thé’ dancers then bounded up the smail hill and set- tled on the grass. There a crowd of spectators—of all ages—await- ed them, to hear the lilting lyrics of songs old and new that follow- éd, while the bonfire died away to glowing embers. The impressed Freshmen then returned to their respective halls where they were tendered informal parties by the Sophomores, which helped to obliterate the disappoint- ment of the rival class’s victory. Hectic Week Precedes Presentations As Freshmen Prepare for Hall Plays The -hectic week preceding the performance of the Freshman Hall Plays is with us again. All over the campus, harried members of the class of 1957 are struggling to create a semblance of a play with-: in. the maximum ten hours of re- heatsal time. The plays will be given in Skin- ner Workshop this weekend. The Non-Residents, and Rockefeller, Rhoads, and Pembroke West halls will present their productions on Friday night. On Saturday night, Radnor, Merion, Pembroke East, and Denbigh will give their per- formances. At Denbigh, Pat Moran is directing “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals”. The _ upperclass- man advisor is. Doris Kaiser, and Ann Brittain is in charge of scenery, props and costumes. Merion, under the direction of Joan Smith, is performing ‘“Whis- tle, Daughter, Whistle”, with Con- nie. Hicks acting as advisor. Eliza- beth Thomas is filling the post of stage manager, and Harriet Bar- sky will oversee props. The Non-Residents are present- ing “The Bathroom Door”. Har- riet Miller will direct, with the aid of advisor Kit Massella. Judy Scott is directing Pem- broke West’s performance of “The Storm”. Lynn Dallet is advisor, and Gwen Garland and Ann Hud- gon are assisting, respectively, with costumes and props. . “The Futurists”, a period piece, will be given by Pembroke East. Rabbit” Mac Veage is directing this venture, and Marianne Clark is Pem East’s advisor. At Rockefeller, “Miracle of St. Anthony” the direction of Margo Zimmelman. The play is a satiric legend, and the Freshmen are being assisted by upperclassman Nonnie Powers. Radnor is producing “A Pound of Flesh”. Radnor’s director is Mar- tha Doerr; Connie Alderson is ad- visor. Lastly, Rhoads’ choice will be “Everyman”, directed by Joyce Cushmore. She will be assisted by Kathy Rogers. is being given under! New Roof, Rooms, Highlight Changes Something new has been added to the Bryn Mawr campus. Dur- ing the summer, several changes were made resulting in the more attractive, if slightly crowded con- dition of the halls. Thanks to the breakdown of the generator in the power house, four dormitories were converted to alternating cur- rent, with the difficulty that the con- version was done quickly with no opportunity for rewiring. Radnor, Merion, Denbigh, and Rhoads were converted. Both Denbigh and Pembroke West have pleasanter showcases for company, and Denbigh has the added luxury of a new carpet in the second floor corridor. Double- decker beds have made their first appearance in four halls: Denbigh, Merion, Pembroke East, and Rhoads. Consequently, the tower suite in Denbigh has been convert- ed into a double suite and single room, One room was built in Den- bigh, and in Pembroke East, two large double suites were converted into six single rooms. Besides the changes in the halls, a welcome gift to AA provided for completion of Applebee Barn. It is now ready for use. Attention everyone who is in- terested in trying out for the NEWS!

Who the hell IS Lulubelle? Katharine McBride Talks On Problems Of Child's Welfare Miss McBride spoke in the Com- mon Room on Tuesday evening on “Children in Need and the Volun- She quoted Arnold Toyn- bee’s speech at commencement last year in which he said, “The normal teer.” conditions of human life are in- security, anxiety and danger”. A small minority can obtain se- curity for a short period but even this is a narrow security from only certain sources of danger and anxiety, for many have no defense against “sickness, sorrow or sin”. The thing for us to remember is that many children, and adults as well, will always need more sourc- es of strength or security financial- ly or emotionally. First, since the need will be very great for as long as anyone can see, and since the number of pro- fessionals is insufficient, volunteers are of the utmost importance. A second reason for volunteer work is that it increases one’s under- standing of the human situation. In addition, the volunteer is need- ed for support in hours of work, in talking about the work so that peo- ple are aware of it, and in the fin: ancial aid she may provide. The understanding the volunteer ach- ieves is important not only in the work she does directly in the proj- ect, but also as a basis for legisla- tion, community planning for local groups and forming her own per- sonal philosophy. Miss McBride posed the question “Is it worth it to work with the un- trained person?” As some volun- teers are apt to be unpredictable it might seem that it is not worth while. However some put even the professionals to shame. It is nec- essary to have a trained staff to give the volunteer the instruction she needs for her to be thoroughly competent. Once a volunteer adopts a job, however, she must be pre- pared to equal the professional in the quality of her work. College Greets New Educators In Many Fields The Sciences Acquire Largest Increase In Staff Miss Katharine McBride listed new members of the faculty on Tuesday, September 29, when she spoke at the opening of the 69th academic year. They are Juan Marichal of Harvard University, associate professor of Spanish; Robert S. Davidon of Champlain College, assistant professor of psychology; Rene N. Girard of Duke University and Mario Mau- rin of the Marine Corps Institute in. Washington, D. C., assistant professors of French. Other faculty additions include the appointment of five lecturers: Norman Kretzmann of the Johns Hopkins University, lecturer in philosophy; Miss Catherine Mc- Clellan of the University of Wash- ington, lecturer in sociology and anthropology; Robert A. Rupen, Social Science Research Fellow in Munich, Germany, lecturer in po- litical science; Mrs. Phoebe B. Stanton, Assistant Cultural Rela- tions Officer in the American Em- bassy in London, lecturér in his- tory of art, and Miss Susan E. Maxfield, assistant professor of child development at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, lecturer in edu- cation and head teacher at the Continued on Page 6, Col. 1 Non-res Freshmen Arrive At College Following is a list of the non- resident members of the Class of 1957, who were’ unfortunately omitted from the Freshman issue of the News. Carol Parker Barbara Booth MarJeanne Collins Harriet Miller Gail Disney Estelle Tobin Constance Horton Joyce Green Blanshard, Famed Author And Lecturer To Speak At First deLaguna Program Monday, October 12—a more chan important date on the Bryn Mawr calendar. At 8:30 that eve- ning, the Music Room will be the scene of the first deLaguna Lecture of the fall of 1953. The deLaguna Lecture Fund was established in honor of Theodore deLaguna, for many years Profes- sor of Philosophy at Bryn Mawr College prior to his death in 1930, and of Professor-Emeritus Grace A. deLaguna, also for many years Professor of Philosophy and head of the Department of Philosophy at Bryn Mawr. Dr. Brand Blanshard, of interna- tional fame in the realm of ideal- istic philosophy as well as of es- pecial interest to students and scholars of this vicinity, has been invited as speaker for the evening. The topic of his lecture, is “The Reasonable Temper”. Educated at Michigan, Columbia, Oxford and Harvard, Dr. Blanshard was also a Rhodes Scholar. As a member of the American Academy of Arts/and Sciences and former President of the American Philos- ophical Association’s Eastern Divi- sion, he has extended his career be- yond the limits of the classroom. He is an author, to which such works as the two-volume Nature of Thought and Philosophy in Ameri- can Education, Its Tasks and Op- portunities, among others, testify. Above all, he is known as a lec- turer. From 1925 to 1945, he was Professor of Philosophy at Swarth- more College; since the latter date he has held the same position at Yale. And, to bring his varied ex- periences up to date, he has just returned from a year and a half abroad where he delivered the Gif- ford Lectures at Saint Andrew’s University in Scotland, and con- ducted a seminar in philosophy at Salzburg. eee I ae es ig | * > Page Two ~™ THE COLLEGE NEWS > THE COLLEGE N\EWS FOUNDED IN 1914 Publisned weekly during the “College Year (except Yocing Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examination weeks) iq the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore Pa.. and Bryn Mawr Qollege. \ ZL cw werner rd : : 6 The Cdliege News is fully protected by copyright.

First the Freshmen are greet- ed, and, we hope, made to feel familiar with the campus and our customs. The return of upperclassmen provokes delight- ed exclamations and reunions in every hall, as summer exper- iences and future plans are related. _All of the students are welcomed at the opening assem- bly, and later, in many classes, a mutual welcome is extended by the scores of returning professors and instructors, and old students. The entire staff is remembered. We are happy to - see familiar faces in the administration offices, in the Book- shop, and moving trunks or waiting on table in the halls. There is yet another, most important group, to which the entire college owes a welcome and a vote of support. This group is comprised of the new members of the faculty, who arrive to teach for the first time beneath Taylor Tower. Among the new faculty are professors, instructors, dem- onstrators. They may be full-fledged PhDs, or perhaps fresh from a recent college class. They come equipped with a back- ground of years of experience, or they are combining teach- ing positions with added study. Whatever their backgrounds and their status here, these new members of the community accept the challenge present- ed by the college and what it stands for. They have been chosen by the administration as those best qualified to join the ranks of our excellent faculty. We look forward to being guided and enlightened by them, and we hope they will be friends and mentors in the years to come. Christopher Blackman The College News notes with regret the passing of Chris- topher Blackman, our chapel porter. Mr. Blackman will be remembered by all who came in contact with him for his friendly greetings and faithful services. We extend our deep- est sympathy to the members of his family. | Letters From Abroad Elizabeth’s Coronation Connects Future With Past The day broke bleak and misty. It was four o’clock in the morning when we hurried to the Under- ground. By five we had made our way to Oxford Circus, and then down to an office building in Re- gent Street. There the television set invited us into. the Abbey. I shall long remember the thrill as I watched the coach swing out from under the archway in Buck- ingham Palace, at 11 o’clock Green- wich Mean Time. Awed, I watched Elizabeth II solemnly promise the Archbishop and the people to “maintain the laws of God”, and to govern the “neoples of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ire- land, Canada, Australia, New Zea- land, Union of South Africa, Paki- stan and Ceylon according to their respective laws and customs”. By four o’clock that afternoon Her Majesty’s procession passed below that office building in Re- gent street. Men from every part of the Commonwealth marched be- fore her.. Kings, Queens, Crown Princes, Rulers, foreign represen- tatives—all were hailed in London. Then came the Gold Coach. From where I sat I saw first a Crown, then the Orb glittering as in Fairy tale picture books. Then I saw a smiling profile and a hand wav- ed. As the Coach rolled by a robe of purple velvet and a gleaming gold embroidered ER II came into view. Of Phillip I saw the front of an Admiral’s hat, his profile and also a smile. My impression of that scene will always be of some- thing that connects the past with the future. Under the heading of June 2nd my diary says “That night we mingled with crowds from all over the earth. At 12:00 after watch- ing fireworks on the South Bank we found ourselves outside Buck- ingham Palace and we joined in the cry of “We want the Queen.” On a floodlit balcony the Queeen and the Duke acknowledged the people’s cheers. These same people who had withstood rain and cold to cheer their Queen on this, her great day.” “After that we ran to Victoria to catch a last bus home to Ken- sington. It was a day and night never to be forgotten. We had watched England crown her Queen”. Sue Habashy, ’54 Watch that lighted cigarette! Make sure that match is really out before you throw it away! This is Fire Prevention Week. Besides its annual warning, the Bryn Mawr Fire Department has scheduled a special event for the week.

Mascolo Via Marcherita 26 Nola (Naples), Italy ArcheologyExhibit Shows Odd Coins especially contributed by Rhys Carpenter Proféssor of Classical Archeology An interesting new acquisition has just been put on exhibition in the Ella Riegel archeological museum on the top floor of the West Wing of the Library. Elizabeth Washburn King (1916) became interested in classical arch- eology as an undergraduate and later, after a trip to Greece, con- tinued her archeological studies with renewed enthusiasm, putting in several years of graduate work at Bryn Mawr, where she took her M.A. in 1937, and then migrating to the American School of Class- ical Studies at Athens and thence by natural transition to the Amer- ican excavations of the Athenian Agora. Somewhere along. this path she fell under the spell of ancient Greek coins; and after parting with the inconsiderable sum of two dollars (uninflated) for her first coin from one of the antique dealers of “Shoe Lane” in Athens, she gradually dipped deep- er and deeper into the market. On her return to this country, under the highly expert and be- nevolent guidance of the late great Edward Newell of the New York Numismatic Society, she acquired, piece by piece, a superb set of nearly 150 Greek silver coins, each of which was a collector’s item. In 1951 without warning she gave this entire treasure to Bryn Mawr, casually handing to Miss McBride on the occasion of a visit to the campus a leather jewel-box with its trays loaded with Greek silver. After a long delay. while awaiting the special glass mirror- ed wallcase, 39 of the choicest specimens in the collection have now been put on display in the archeological museum. Anyone susceptible to their charm will find herself repaid for the extra steps to the top corridor of Library West. Wednesday, October 7, 1953 Current Events Dr. A. Dudden Explains Summer Events At Meeting Mr. Arthur Dudden conducted a summer tour of the world at Cur- rent Events, Monday evening, Oc- tober 5. Having spent the sum- ‘mer in England, Mr. Dudden had a slightly different outlook on world events and American foreign pol- icy. : The major events concerned Rus- sia indirectly via. Korea and Ger- many. In Korea, of course, the war has stopped, but perhaps with un- satisfactory implications. The pris- oner exchange is complete except for those supposedly not wanting to return from Russia to the U. N. troops. Talk of reopening the war in the future seemed an unlikely prospect to Mr. Dudden despite President Rhee’s threats. In Russia the principle events apparently date back to the death of Stalin. Malenkov’s_ relative weakness means the continuation of purges, such as Beria’s. The new regime seems to be relaxing, consolidating, and attempting to win good will. Within Russia, a greater amount of consumer goods is available with a shift from pro- duction of military goods to con- sumer items. Agriculture poses the problem of getting more work from collective farms. Since Rus- sia now holds the H-bomb, perhaps we have reached a military stale- mate as well as a diplomatic one. Food Riots The people of the East German Democratic Republic turned against their “overlords” in the food riots of June 17. Since the Russian army had to intervene, there has been little talk from Russia about German unification. The West Ger- man election of Adenauer early in September brought a pro-western victory. The general strike in France reflected a mass protest of disgust with inflation. The state cannot pay salaries to support the lowest standard of living. Iran may turn away from its in- creasingly pro-Russian sentiments with Mosadegh now on trial as a traitor. Also in the Near East, the new regime in Egypt seems fairly well consolidated with the possibil- ity of agreement with Britain on the Suez Canal question. In Eng- land the conservative party seems to be reaching the end of its line with Churchill’s health failing, even though he is still the western leader of foreign policy. England’s improved prosperity resulted in the end of rationing this summer with mass happiness and credit given to the Conservative party. The Labor party is still popular, and the Con- servative administration has had no choice but to continue many of the previous administration’s pol- icies. The national health program has been stabilized, and the Cock- ney group which suffered from the excesses of the industrial revolu- tion seems to be disappearing. As yet the Conservatives are not de- nationalizing the steel industry. Fear of Bellicose Comments The United States has become more popular in Europe, but there is fear of bellicose comments that come from this country. Dulles is a confused personality in Europ- ean minds, although McCarthy is» well known. Our foreign policy. hit its lowest point in our success- ful efforts to keep India out of the peace treaty meetings. Labor seems fairly content, although the London Times commented on Dur- kin’s resignation that the “nine millionaires no longer have the compan, of the plumber.” Wednesday, October 7, 1953 THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Three Officers Outline Fields of Five Campus Organizations Especially contributed by Bobbie Olsen Every student belongs to the Athletic Association whose prin- cipal purpose is to encourage participation in the athletic and recreational activities on campus. To satisfy and be of use to so many “involuntary” members the organization demands variety. For those athletically inclined there is a selection of sports from which to choose. Students who take their athletic interest more seriously find their places among the dif- ferent varsity teams, and those who are more mildly interested find an appeal in the various in- terclass and interhall games. And to those whose athletic tendencies comprise the smallest part of their natures, the organization offers during the year a series of recre- ational activities which are not ‘purely athletic. Of course we can- not guarantee a complete absence of exercise at these events, for even square dancing is fairly strenuous at times! In both sports and recreation the A.A. works in close coordination with the physical education department and acts as liaison between the stu- dents and this department. We want all of our members to take an active interest in the A.A. and be a part of it. To do this the organization must keep itself a broad one and be constantly alerted for new interests and ideas. If we want everyone to have a place in the A.A., then our task lies in making certain that this place is there for the student to find. MARRIAGES Elizabeth Barrow ’55 to William Ricketts.

Especially contributed by Sukie Webb First, hi! We’re sorry to add one more meeting to your already heavy schedule, but we did want a chance —as the Undergraduate Council— to welcome you to Bryn Mawr. We’re very happy to have all of you here, and look forward to knowing you better. The Undergraduate Council for this year is made up of these peo- ple: Anne Eristoff (whom you have already met), President of Self- Gov., Molly Plunkett, President of the League, Patsy Price, President of the Alliance for Political Affairs, Bobbie Olsen, President of the Ath- letic Association, Barbara Drys- dale, Editor of the NEWS, Judy Haywood, Chairman of the Chapel Committee, and myself, Sukie Webb, President of the Undergrad- uate Association. Ipso Facto You are all members of the so- called Big Five, and though you are not ipso-facto members of the NEWS Board or the Chapel Com- mittee, you will come in contact with them throughout your four years at Bryn Mawr. You are all potentially active members of these organizations, and we, of course, hope that you will be. The Undergraduate Council meets once a week to coordinate various plans and activities. We act as a sort of clearing house for the di- verse areas of campus _ life—dis- cussing Freshman Week, May Day, or an International Folk Festival. I sometimes find it hard to be specific about the Undergraduate Association itself, for the jobs of our board members are varied, and Undergrad—as it is called—seems to touch most areas of college life. Your first introduction to us was through the Freshman Handbook, for this is issued by the Under- graduate Association, and_ the Board, (very different from the Council in that it is made up of elected representatives from each class) appoints the editors. The Freshman dance was your next step in your introduction to Continued on Page 4, Col. 1 English Establish Marshall Awards Beginning in the academic year 1954-55, twelve Marshall Scholar- ships will be available for Amer- ican graduate students wishing to study at a British university. The Marshall Scholarships have been established by the British Government as a gesture of thanks for Marshall Aid, in gratitude for America’s generous and far-sight- ed program for European recov- ery. Twelve scholarships will be granted annually, each for a two- year period which may be extended to three. Eligible for competition are U. S. citizens, men or women under the age of 28, graduates of accredited U. S. colleges or uni- versities. The scholarships may be held at any British university. The value of each award will be $1,540 a year, with an extra $560 a year for married men. This sum will comfortably finance a year’s study at a British univer- sity, since academic fees and living costs are considerably less than in the United States. Transportation is provided from home to the Brit- ish university and back. Qualifications for the awards are distinction of intellect and character, as shown by scholastic attainment and other activities and achievements. Preference will be given to candidates who com- bine high academic ability with Continued on Page 6, Col. 4 Especially contributed by Judy Haywood Implicit in the concept of a lib- eral education is the belief that students should be offered not only academic opportunities but religi- ous opportunities as well. To this end the Chapel Committee con- cerns itself with the religious life of the students on campus. It realizes that religion is a personal experience but one which benefits from a.tangible form of expres- sion and one that can be strength- ened or encouraged by outside contacts. Although the Chapel Committee is composed entirely of students, it receives its authority from the trustees and administration, and Dr. MacGregor who is Professor of Philosophy and also of Religion, is the faculty advisor to the or- ganization. The Committee is made up of elected representatives and is not limited to any faith, but instead seeks to represent all the different denominations on campus. There are various parts to our program. There are Chapel serv- ices ewery Sunday evening in the Musi¢ Room where there is an op- portuhity for worship and to hear outstanding rabbis, priests, and ministers. Also, throughout the year, there are open discussion and study groups which are held on Tuesday afternoons and precede the business meetings. Often there are special speakers at these meet- ings. In addition there is to be a conference this fall when represen- tatives of all faiths will be at the college for two days. They will spend one evening in hall discus- sion groups and on the following day there will be a tea and dis- cussion for the student body as a whole. There are two points that can- not be emphasized too strongly— that the Chapel Committee repre- sents every student on campus, no matter what her faith or denom- ination, and that every student is warmly invited to attend all the meetings and all the functions of the Committée. The Chapel Com- mittee will be as vital as we the students make it. The following are on the execu- tive board of the Chapel Com- mittee: Chairman: Judith Haywood Vice Chairman: Sidney deShazo Sarah Winstead Caroline Warram Helen Louise Simpson Helen Rhinelander Edith Schwab Marcia Lockwood Last Nighters especially contributed by Kay Sherman, ’54 “Almost un-Hollywoodish” might describe the recently released movie, “From Here to Eternity”. Featuring an unusually realistic interpretation” of James Jones’ best-selling novel, it includes such surprises as an actress posed un- glamourously with sea-wet hair and Frank Sinatra cast in a non- singing role. The setting is Ha- waii—the barracks of the peace- time army —in December, 1941; the stars are Montgomery Clift, Burt Lancaster, Donna Reed and Deborah Kerr. One leaves the theatre with a dominating impression of the Army—a vast mechanism in which the individual is lost and subject to the prey of his fellow beings, a mechanism in which he may be tortured bodily and_ spiritually, powerless to do anything about it or to help himself. Yet, the army which this picture portrays is a volunteer army; Rob- . Continued on Page 6, Col. 4 Especially contributed by Patricia Price The Bryn Mawr Alliance is con- cerned with po.itical, economic, and social aftairs on both a national anu an international level. Since we are as yet minors, we feel that our efforts in the political field can be mainly only a préparation for citizenship. Therefore our empha-' sis is on information, discussion, | and practice in areas where we will later be active participants. The Alliance presents informal lectures | on current events by professors of! tne college every Monday night. ' ‘ne International Relations Club,’ (IRC), provides varied programs, ranging from lectures to a folk fes- tival, and including films, and con- tact with foreign universities, to help broaden the scope of interest and knowledge of Bryn Mawr stu- dents to other countries and peo- ples. Students for Democratic Action (SDA), a liberal group con- cerned with civil rights, education, and economic opportunity, concen- trates on student discussion. Need for Action But the Alliance is not purely an information service; there is need for action too. We have sent books and clothes to Europe, we arrange for students to work in the com- munity and Philadelphia (for in- | stance, campaigning for both par- ties and poll watching in last year’s election), we provide information about student tours to Europe. We send representatives to conferences in Philadelphia, Washington, New York. Debates, letters to Congress- men, financial aid to and participa- tion in groups such as American Friends Service Committee, World Student Service Fund, Rutgers Work Shop in Labor Education, provide channels for constructive action. For those concerned with the practical workings of local and national politics, Intercollegiate Conference on Government (ICG) gives first-hand experience — in the organization of legislatures, congress, or nominating conven- tions. In addition to club activities, the Alliance Board, which consists of its officers, the club head, and up- perclass' and freshman representa- tives from each hall, invites speak- ers to address the whole college at noon assemblies. Senator Leverett Saltenstall, Owen Lattimore, Rob- ert Sherwood, among others, have spoken in past years. This fall Philip Jessup and Henry Steele Commager are scheduled for visits to the college.

Shorter works are preferred by the Board of Judges, because of space limitations. Each poem must be typed or printed on a separate sheet and must bear the name and home ad- Especially contributed by Ann Shocket “The League, recognizing that we are members of a world com- munity, has a two-fold purpose: to broaden our awareness of existing social problems, and to work for their alleviation and eventual so- lution by cooperating with other individuals. Because, in this work, ye have far more to learn~than to give; we realize that education and action are necessarily inter- dependent; for without intelligent, objective awareness, our work will be misguided, and without hard work, our knowledge will be wast- ed. The League offers an oppor- tunity to work toward the recog- nition of the importance of every individual.” In this creed, written by mem- bers of the League Board, you have read the basic principles and objectives of the organization. These general purposes are real- ized through our work on many kinds of projects, all of which need a measure of interest and assist- ance that the League is able to provide. In working for the league, you can deal with children through community centers, settlement houses, Y-Teen groups, and the Bryn Mawr Summer Camp; you can help mentally ill adults through two mental hospitals;. you can know and work with people in Philadelphia slum areas through weekend work camps; you can meet factory workers’ through various organizations for labor education. Broaden Outlook Through the League, you get to know the maids and porters here on campus and to participate in some of the many activities spon- sored by their lively association. You can eat and serve at the soda fountain, whose proceeds go to the Bryn Mawr Summer Camp. You can hear top speakers in- many areas of social welfare, to broaden your awareness and understanding of our country and the world out- side. The first League program will be on Tuesday, October 6. We have here one way of ex- tending our education beyond the purely academic. This is a chance to tear down the “ivory Tower” than can easily remove us from real life and real people. Observer The color was gone from every- thing, the noise and the color. All was drained to a whiteness: even the air was devoid of mood, hold- ing the warmth that has neither the fire of heat nor the chill of cold. There were still some leaves on the trees and the grass lay in patches on the bare earth. The children’s voices sounded far off and unreal. A pigeon strutted across the statue’s foot. Even moving faces in the glass of doors seemed frozen. Life was at a pause be- fore a new breath. As the light changed the traf- fic roared forward with pent up violence, breaking the oppressive cloud of atmosphere. The streets seemed to come alive; people mill- ed and flowed about and the inces- sant horns started up again. dress of the student, as well as the name of the college attended. There are no fees or charges for either acceptance or submission of verse. All work will be judged on merit alone. The closing date for the submission of manuscripts by all College students is November 5. Manuscripts should be sent to the offices of the National Poetry Association, 3210 Selby Avenue, Not only is this week Fire Prevention Week, this is also the Week of the 1954 Yearbook.

Parade Night on Tues day was the next concrete evi- dence of Undergrad, for we offic- ially “oversee” this, just as we do Lantern Night. You may have discovered the Rumpus Room, on the second floor of Goodhart—and if you haven't you will want to, for it is a good place to relax. We see that this is kept attractively furnished and relatively neat. I hope that this year we can add a few more lamps and a big rug to the furnishings. The DP Scholarship is handled by the Board, and the recipient chosen by it. We check the semester schedule of Undergradu- ate events, keep the point chart and oversee the non-political and non-athletic clubs on campus. The Common Treasurer, who keeps the finarices of all the organizations on edmapus adyaight, sits on our board. oe ; As Liaison Perhaps most important of all is that we act as a sort of liaison be- between the Undergraduates and the Administration. In conferences with Miss McBride, Miss Howe and the Deans we try to put both stu- dent and administration suggas- tions into effect. And now, what can you do to be active ipso-facto members? You can help do the more social things like decorating for a dance, or join- ing a club. You can take part in the various traditional events of the college. And most important of all, if you have any criticisms or any suggestions during the year about campus activities, you can bring them to me or to any mem- ber of the Board. We hope you will come to us with your ideas, and we especially welcome you, for we want your new and fresh ap- proach to things. I hope that each of. you will feel herself an import- ant member of our college com- munity—for we already know that you are. — Vacation is over | And school has begun Stop in at the HEARTH 9 ‘From Here To Eternity Portrays Realistic Lives Continued from Page 3 ert E. Lee Pruitt (Montgomery Clift) says he loves the army, al- though he suffers in it, and, when asked why, he looks: bewildered and says, “It‘s all I’ve ever known.” This army offers a niche in the world to men who have faced the insecurity of depression, and who have no faith in themselves to en- able them ‘to: overcome that in- security. Yet, each of them has a longing to express himself as an individual; the attempt costs two of them their lives ‘and brings heartbreak to another. In the mechanism, each cog must be forced to fit into its proper place. But the amazing lesson is that, in moments of crisis, the cogs are suddenly unimportant. The machine, with its procrustean- stretched and mangled parts, dis- integrates, and only a mass of frightened individuals remains. In the scenes showing the Pearl Harbor attack and the reaction of the army barracks at Honolulu, this becomes pitifully evident. The long hours spent training men to win the intramural boxing cham- pionship for the company, the pressure on individuals for con- formity to the whims of a com- mander, then appear startlingly in- adequate. It appears, however, that the system somehow did develop cap- able and loyal men. Pruitt tries to rejoin his company and the ser- geant, who had disciplined himself to take a subordinate role, turns into a real leader. “From Here to Eternity” spot- lights a facet of life about which we have heard too little. Of war and hero movies we have had many, but of the real army some- thing such as this has long been needed. Miss Katharine McBride Opens New Academic Year With College Address Revealing Number of New Student Registrations, and New Professorships Continued from Page 1 Ten members of the faculty are on leave for this year, while nine others returned from leave. The college welcomes back Mr. and Mrs. Berliner, Mr. Dryden, Mr. Gil- bert, Mr. Michels, Mrs. Oppenhei- heimer, Mr. Sloane and Mr. Wells. Miss Mary Hamilton Swindler will be a visiting professor of Archae- ology for the year. In addition to the returning faculty the college also welcomes many new profes- sors, The new wardens are: Miss Ann Barrett in Merion; Mlle. Mireille Blanc in Wyndham; Miss Helen Dow in Rhoads South; Miss Mari- anna Potter in Pembroke East; Miss Nancy Tatum in Rhoads North; Miss Martha Chowning in Pembroke West; Miss Mary Toner in Rockefeller. Miss Mary Mc- Ilwraith is Senior Resident of the Graduate Center. Mr. Scattergood Mrs. Marshall is on leave of ab- sence for the first semester; her baby arrived on June 4, Mrs. Broughton is now acting dean and Miss Fales is assistant dean. Mrs. Paul is ill and consequently will be on leave for several months. Mrs. Charlotte Tinker of the Friends Service Committee will be appointed acting director of admis- sions. The death of Mr. J. Henry Scat- tergood, who served as college treasurer on the Board of Direct- ors for more than _ twenty-five years, has saddened all who knew him. At his twenty-fifth anniver- sary party he spoke about public service and he himself was truly a public servant. He worked al- ways with integrity and honor, con- tributing much to human welfare.

The break- down of the power house generator speeded up the conversion of four halls from direct current to alter- nating current. Because of the housing problem created by the large registration some _ single rooms have been made into doubles and several freshmen are living with Mr. and Mrs. Broughton and with Miss Howe. A cheerful atmosphere prevails on the campus as the academic year begins. This is due in part to the good work of the Freshman Week Committee, There is of course in addition the lift which comes in seeing old friends and be- ing together once more to start a new year. A third factor adding cheer is the removal of some of the clouds on the international scene. During her talks with the stu- dents, Miss McBride was impress- ed by their interest and ability, and turned to consider the import- ant question of the relationship of this interest and ability to oppor- tunity. In times without crisis people often fail to recognize op- portunity or to take advantage of it. She recalled that President Co- nant of Harvard kept a picture of a turtle in his office upon which was inscribed, “Behold the turtle. He never makes progress without sticking out, his neck.” When the college woman steps out to take her place in a family, she receives considerable support from many sources. Later, however, there is less outside support for the woman who attempts to take an active part in community affairs, profes- sional or business life. The combination of ability, inter- est and opportunity places a spec- ial responsibility on everyone who has all three. Some students know their interests and abilities, but have not yet discovered their pur- pose, and consequently the commit- ment to activity may develops slowly.

Wednesday, October 7, 1953 THE COLLEGE NEWS Page Five Applicants To Various Grad Schools What To Do Patricia Price Explains ENGAGEMENTS Must Take Admittance Examinations Alliance’s Organization | Minnie Cassatt '53 to Daniel Princeton, N. J., September 18: The Graduate Record Examina- tions, required of applicants for ad- mission to a number of graduate “schools, will be administered at ex- amination centers throughout the country four times in the coming year; Educational Testing Service has announced. During 1952-53 more than 9,000 students took’ the GRE in partial fulfillment of ad- mission requirements of graduate schools which prescribed it. This fall candidates may take the GRE on Saturday, November 14. In 1954, the dates are January 30, May 1, and July 10. ETS ad- vises each applicant to inquire of the graduate school of his choice which of the examinations he should take and on what dates. Applicants for graduate school fel- lowships should ordinarily take the designated examinations in the fall administration. The GRE tests offered in these nationwide programs include a test of general scholastic ability and advanced level tests of achieve- ment in seventeen different subject matter fields. According to ETS, candidates are permitted to take the Aptitude Test and/or one of the Advanced Tests. Application forms and a Bulletin of Information, which provides de- tails of registration and adminis- tration as well as sample questions, may be obtained from college ad- visors or directly from Education- al Testing Service, P. O. Box 592, Princeton, N. J., or P. O. Box 9896, Los Feliz Station, Los Angeles 27, California.

During 1952-53 some 7400 appli- cants took this test, scores were sent to over 100 law and their schools. A candidate must make separate application for admission to each law school of his choice and should inquire of each whether it wishes him*to take the Law School Ad- mission Test and when. many freshman classes preceding their Since law schools. select their in the spring entrance, candi- dates for admission to next year’s classes are advised ordinarily to take either the November or the February test, if possible.

It cannot be “crammed” for. Sample questions and information regarding registration for and ad- ministration of the test are given in a Bulletin of Information.

The exhibit consists of sculpture garnered from all over Central America where pre-Columbian cul- tures flourished—such as the Az- tecs, Mayas, Toltecs, Mixtecs, Za- potecs, and many other peoples. It is an exciting collection of primitive art. The realistic bru- tality of the early artist, his frank- ness and his delightful (or at times macabre) sense of humor are all depicted for the observer to enjoy. The vicissitudes of the sculptor’s nature, as portrayed in his art, are here just as he left them hundreds of years ago. Of particular interest are the “schance glimpses into the life of the péople—the ceramic acrobat, the ballplayer and the great stone ring through which he threw his ball (a sideways version of basketball) il- lustrate some of their amusements. Their gods are represented here too, in the statue of the Aztec Quetzalcoatl (possibly identifiable with their. god of the winds) and the numerous motifs of the plum- ed serpent.

One snake is coiled in a tall cylinder, lying in wait for the unwary. The work of one artist is represented by an eagle standing beautifully, if horribly, upon a man’s skull. The pre-Columbians’ portrayal of the human figure is strangely unrealistic, and they adapted the figure to many uses on such objects as jars and urns. There is a fas- cinating bas-relief of a Mayan war- rior, in limestone. An Aztec calendar stone,» com- plete with gylphs is included in |the collection; according to the words of a museum official you would have to toss a coin to deter- mine the date represented on it. A huge Aztec sacrificial basin is a fascinating part of the exhibit, with its gruesome holes high in the sides where the blood of the victim could flow out. The artists used varied materials, including basalt, alabaster, volcan- ic stone, granite, elay and terra cotta, and what they did with these materials makes their art unique. The selections, from the Louise and Walter Arensberg Collection, will be featured at the museum from October 8 to December 5.
