XLI, NO. 3 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1944 | Copyright, Trustees of Brya Mawr College, 1944 PRICE 10 CENTS European Peace Depends on Food, ‘Explains Mr. Rich Rich Warns Against Rumors And Statistics of Ample Food Abroad Goodhart, October 5: “There can be no peace in Europe while na- tions starve,” stressed Mr. John Rich, Associate Secretary of ‘the American Friends Service Com- mittee, in the first War Allignce Assembly of this year. Food or win the war and will win ‘the peace, and the future is largely dependent on the feeding of Eur- ope now, and in the next four or five years. It is difficult to conceive the vastness of this problem of feed- ing, said Mr. Rich, and to envisage at the same time its peculiarity and poignancy. He cited an exam- ple of a village in Spain that had lived for a year without bread, and maintained a meager exist- ence on oranges alone—this when bread is a basic commodity in Europe, and comprises two-thirds of the food supply. Practical Question The great practical question to be faced is that of engineering, how we are to get the food supplies to Europe and how we are to get them there in time. It is not gen- cally pai that the average individual food requirement per year is one half-ton. No foreign relief could ever meet that figure, and a great deal of our supplies will get there too late. (But we have come to a period in the war when we can _ seriously consider this problem, added Mr. Rich. We must be extremely care- ful not to be carried away by “glittering statistics’ and reports such as that of ample food in Nor- mandy or in Paris. “as One of the main interests of Mr. Daniel Will Speak At Alliance Assembly OnPAC in’44 Election Mr. Franz Daniel, Chairman of the Philadelphia Political Action Committee, will speak at the first of two co-ordinated War Alliance Assemblies on Tuesday, October 17 at 12:30. He will discuss the PAC and the 1944 Election. After graduation from the Un- iversity of Wisconsin in 1927, Mr. Daniel did three years of graduate work at the Union The- ological Seminary. He then be- came an active participant in the labor movement, organizing the be Cab Workers. As general organizer for the Textile Workers Union and the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, he toured the country, especially concentrating his efforts in the South. In Philadelphia, Mr. Daniel. be- came co-director of the short-lived United Labor Committee. This year, he took up his present posi- tion with the PAC, still maintain- ing his status as organizer for the ACWA. Lieutenant-Governor John C. Bell, Jr., will speak at the second assembly the following week, Oc- tober 24, for Dewey. At both of the meetings, questions from the floor will be welcomed.

It remained incommunicado, refusing to divulge its grievance. It even re-erupted that night. But plushy Rhoadsités, used fo swaggering around campus, took it quite per- sonally. It is humiliating to run to Rock to brush your teeth. The first symptoms of discon- tent in subterranean regions oc- curred at one A. M. Sunday morn- ing. Miss Lord made the unhappy discovery, and for the rest of the day Rhoads, to a woman, dashed to turn on the taps every half hour, only to be greeted by a reasonable facsimile of the death rattle. When we said “How long, O Lord!” to ourselves a little too loudly, we found that it might be days before we could take a bath. Wild rumors began to make the circuit, hinting that Rhoads would not be fed until the plumbing was fixed. This proved idle, as grounds- men rallied to the situation by run- ning a hose from the Deanery gar- den into the kitchen window. An- interesting aquatic spectacle re- sulted when the hose burst in three different places, turning the Dean- ery garden into a second Versailles. “something in the main,” and pro- ceeded to excavate the Rhoads en- virons. The ingenuity of the grounds- men was tried and was not found wanting. Mr. Matthews, dashing up on Sunday morning, ascertained that the trouble was outside the building, as the meter was regis- tering almost nothing. Ergo— somewhere between Rhoads and the main road there is something blocking a main, but it may take days to find it. Rhoads, faced with typhus and social ostracism had to be saved. Inspiration struck, and a pipe was connected to Goodhart, so that by evening the taps no longer gurgled. The plumbing was not appeased. On Sunday night train - weary week-enders prepared ‘to ablute.

The response to the two-day registration for the Undergradu- ate Volunteer’ Activities Program, as far as it can be ascertained at this date, is an approximate 350 students out of a possible 548. In relation to other years, this response is an excellent one, al- though it is not the 100 percent turn-out for which the Under- graduate Council had hoped. Many students, however, are already do- ing unregistered war work, and a number of Freshmen have _ not yet felt ready to pledge three hours of their time. In a final effort. to offer an op- portunity to any undergraduates who were unable to sign up _ last week, the U. V. A. P. will have an evening registration from 8-10 on Thursday, October 12.

This first glimpse of our post-war world should be scrutinized, evalu- ated, and accepted. Perhaps it lacks the crusading spirit of the Covenant of the League, adorned with grandiose allusions to “aggression” and the sanctity of territorial integrity. But it is auspicious that after this war we may start with the real and ascend to the ideal, instead of vice versa. The proposed charter for “The United Nations” is not, and cannot be a blue-print of the type so fashionable in the Culbertson era. Its framers admit that there are vital ques- tions, like the destiny of the League and the Mandate: system, that are unsolved. The ticklish matter of sovereignty is by no means settled. Yet certain broad trends are laid out on realistic principles, “The United Nations” charter tells more and less than the Covenant of the League. In its twelve chapters are out- lined the machinery for guaranteeing world security. It pro- vides for a Security Council of eleven members, with six per- manent seats alloted to big powers. There is an Assembly, an International Court of Justice, and a Secretariat. It is open to all “peace-loving” nations. ‘These organs, however, are not sharply delineated as in the Covenant of the League. Nor are conditions of withdrawal mentioned, nor explicit ec- onomic sanctions, nor any kind of boundary guarantees, as in Article 10. In short, the United Nations are weighing their commitments well. The stress is laid on flexibility, pro- vision for peaceful change, and a focus of international at- _ tention on social and economic problems. The new organiza- tion concentrates on prevention rather than mere cure. Most revealing of all is the commitment, never made be- fore, to keep military supremacy in the hands of an interna- tional organization. The issue of disarmament is side-step- ped. It is tacitly implied in the assumption of military con- trol in the transition period by the “Big Four” that force will be a preliminary instead of a last resort in threats to future world security. q “The United Nations,” like the League, will be created by the attitude of the nations accepting it. The proposed charter, by sticking to reality, should eliminate the duplicity that nestled so neatly under the mask of idealism after World War I. The world, as in 1919, is looking to America to take the lead. If this war has taught us anything constructive, it is that the United States is not another planet. We now have before us a first step towards realizing what we are fighting for. : li Silence, Please! _.

Coca Coveuts Plans for post-war Germany were discussed by Miss Robbins in Current Events on Monday night: Recognizing the fact that very little information has been publicized, Miss Robbins . proceed- ed to explain and analyze the var- ied proposals. Roughly, the pro- grams fall into two trends of thought, “the hard and the soft.” Mr. Morgenthau’s plan, which is still. unofficial, falls into the for- mer of the two categories, rec- ommending: 1. To remove all industry com- pletely. 2. To close all mines. 3. To supply no food or relief. 4. To give the Saar Valley to France, and to divide East Prus- sia between Russia and Poland. 5. To provide armies of occupa- tion. za 6. To break large farms into smaller ones under peasant con- trol. / 7. To give no reparation. Miss. Robbins pointed out that this plan is too drastic to be prac- tical, although contrary to popu- lar opinion, she does not feel that it has substantially aided German propaganda. Another program is that of Sumner Welles, who has suggest- ed dividing Germany into districts —west, south, and east. Welles bases his argument on the disun- ion of Germany, citing the fact that the kingdom of Bavaria only disappeared with the end of World War I. This plan would aid_ in Continued on Page 4 Ve Opinion Student Attacks ‘Ads’ in News As Being Childish, Careless And Unintellegent To the Editor of the CoHege News: There has existed for some time within the pages of the College News a deplorable condition which, it seems to me, deserves some public attention: the unintelligent and, indeed, “corny” character of the advertisements which current- ly appear in the News, especially: those of ‘the College Inn and Jeannette’s. The advertisements are un- doubtedly produced in a moment of preoccupation with catchy word combinations as the road to suc- cess in advertising. Were this method used intelligently and carefully, much could be achieved; as the “ads” stand now, they ap- pear little less than ridiculous, and the desirable effect of “catching the eye” is pretty well nullified by the ensuing disgust which is likely to be the reaction of intelligent readers. Moreover, while their attention is focused upon the need for catchy words, the Business Board tends to overlook another requisite of successful advertising when it fails, to suit its approach to its audience. Those “ads” do little credit to the intelligence of their readers, faculty or student, nor do they indicate a very high opinion, on the part of the Board, of that intelligence. Surely it is possible Continued on Page .3 POLITICALLY SPEAKING The Philadelphia Record is “fighting alone’ for Roose- velt. The New York Herald Tribune has thrown the entire the Executive Board, support of its editorial policy behind Dewey. ‘The College News regrets that it is unable to make a stand, since its ed- itorial board is irreconcilably split, with a 12-8 vote in favor of Dewey. We will present weekly, therefore, two opinions on major campaign issues, beginning with one on the fourth term. ROOSEVELT Theoretically no one believes in a fourth presidential term as a necessary or desirable condition in a democracy. But in emergencies we cannot pause for wistful recol- lection of normal conditions, much less consideration of ideal ones. Quite xt trom.any other con- sideratjon of merit, Mr. Dewey has against him the very. serious charge of inexperience. Now, ex- perience is ordinarily not a cam- paign issue. But when:a nation is choosing a man to represent her at the peace table, she is involved in no ordinary~-campaign. She has no time for trial and error. Can Roosevelt with the momentous statements of the Atlantic Char- ter, of Teheran, and of Quebec be- hind him, be adequately replaced by a-mah who has never given a real statement of his ideas on in- ternational policy? Together Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin have painstakingly laid the groundwork of an_ international peace structure. It would be dis- astrous should any of them ~with- draw at the crucial moment. Recognizing this fact, Mr. Dew- ey’s supporters have raised the cry of “domestic administration.” Well, what of domestic administration? Statistics show that employment was at a higher level in 1940 than in 1929. The record also shows a phenomenally successful conver- sion to war industry just two years later. Certainly the admin- istration which could engineer this is the best qualified to tackle the problem of reconversion. The Republican last ditch is a catch phrase, “the indispensable man.” Vice President Wallace had the best answer to that when he said, “The real quéstion is, who is most dispensable?’ A DEWEY Only when the old horses refuse to leave the traces does the prob- lem of changing horses in mid- stream become difficult. Only when the Democrats attempt to talk us into a frenzy of crisis, do the tech- nical complications of* changing administrations now become ap- parently insurmountable. Neither the winning of the war, nor the making of the peace rest so heavily on the personal should- ers of Mr. Roosevelt as to forbid our changing Presidents. Mr. Dewey has stated that he, as all other. presidents without person- ally earned military rank before Mr. Roosevelt, will leave military direction in the non-partisan hands of our generals. No peace pro- posals made by the United Na- tions have been so radically Roose- veltian as to make it impossible for Dewey to carry on in his place. The main issue does not lie in the indispensability of Mr. Roose- velt, but rather in the consequences of another term of this particular administration. This is an admin- istration first elected on the prom- ise of employment fer all, which in nine years of peace could only suggest that we plow under our crops and slaughter @ur pigs, be- cause America was a land of too much plenty under a government with too little constructive under- standing of its problems. It would be the Fourth Term of an administration which after years of war has been able to set up only a confused and overlap- ping bureaucratic system for the running of the war in Washington. The members of their system are still resigning in disgust, and their heads are in discord. — There is a time for change, and a time for action. The time is now. Thomas Explains Decision ~~ Of Self-Gov't Board On Campussing To the Editor: For the past few years we, as” felt very limited in our scope of, “pen- alties for the infractions of rules”. In fact so much so that often we have not felt satisfied with a de- have ‘cision —disturbed by the feeling that the penalty did not exactly correspond to the This feeling easily leads to that furth- er consideration—that the deci- sion might be unjust. For in- stance, a certain offense may not seem to warrant a measure as severe as suspension, with all the restrictions on action and the in- terference with studies that this entails; on the other hand, how- ever, campussing after 10:30 P. M. might seem an ineffective measure for so serious an offense. offense. In order to deal justly with a situation such as this, we _ feel the need for a wider range of possible measures, which would enable the Board to take a more efficient and just action. After a long and very careful discussion, we have decided to introduce “day- campussing”’, an “in - between” measure to be used rarely, and only after the greatest considera- tion and forethought. This will by no means be a substitute for the campussing after 10:30 P. M. that we know today, but its pur- pose will be to provide that furth- er possible measure when the campussing we have now would not apply, and when the penalty of suspension would seem too se- vere. We feel that this wider scope of measures should enable the Board to make a more fair deci- sion, and should give the entire Association a greater. satisfaction and confidence -in our action. Virginia E. Thomas, ’45 President of the Self Gov’t. Asso. Reed Urges Bond Purchases; Campaigns for Missing 36 Per Cent To the Editor: Three hours of volunteer work a week is not the only contribu- tion we of Bryn Mawr can make to the war. Buying war stamps —if less spectacular—is no less vital. In thinking and planning for the peace that lies ahead we must remember that the war is not over, Much hard fighting lies ahead if the war is to be carried to its end. For this we will need a steady supply of ammunition and equipment which can be paid for only by the purchase of War Savings Stamps and Bonds. Bryn Mawr’s past record for the purchase of War Stamps has been good, and yet it has been poor. A monthly average of $1000 is good but only 64% of the campus buy- ing even a 10c stamp is poor. This year we are campaigning to get the missing 36%. It is our chance to present to the world a united front. Too long we have let the 64% carry our burden. On Thursday and Friday, Oc- tober 12 and 18 you will be asked by agents in your halls to fill out pledge cards. A minimum of $2.00 monthly per person would put us over lastyyear’s figures. You can afford to give better than you can afford not to.

At the year’s first Vocational Conference, Miss Lucy Gordon White of the National Nursing Council for War Service stressed the urgency of the need for graduate nurses and clarified the role of college women in this profession, now and after the war. Because of the great wartime need, said Miss White, the govern- ment passed the Bolton Act which provided funds for many scholar- ships in the Cadet Nurse Corps. This was an effort to hasten the training of sufficient numbers of nurses to meet the minimum re- quirements of six nurses to every thousand army men, and _ three nurses to every thousand men in the Navy. Such a scholarship gives a trainee her tuition, books, forms, all other expenses, and a small stipend throughout her training period, which is about thirty months. In return, the nurse must promise to work for the duration and six months after the war in an essential service. This work includes position in civ- ilian hospitals, public health cen- ters, and veteran hospitals as well as the care of emergency war cas- ualties. Girls with college background are greatly needed in administra- tive offices in all branches ofthe profession, and for overseas duty in teaching rehabilitation meth- ods, as well as for work in the public health field in this country. Psychiatric nursing will also re- quire college graduates.

Barbarous Inter-Hall Games Start Sunday The brightest and most barbar- ous feature of the hockey season is the inter-hall games. Hall teams, dressed in everything from scholastic gowns to night gowns, make up in spirit and determina- tion what they lack in skill. Songs are composed, cheering squads @rilled, and halls turn out in-toto to parade onto the battle field. Latent talent is discovered among various wardens and week- end dates. Fullbacks as center forwards, left wings as center- halves add to the fun, confusion, and battered shins. In fact, so many battered shins resulted from last year’s hall games that Dr. Leary has requested less violence this season.

It is easier to revive starving babies, explain- ed Mr. Rich, than persons in early maturity. The latter become phys- ically and mentally afflicted in an incurable manner through pro- longed hunger. The spiritual side of the prob- lem Mr. Rich stressed as import- ant. Everything has to be done outside of the military program so as not to hinder operations there. Thus the problem ultimately rests with the will of the people who have the power to act in their hands.

It has a few of the accepted qualities of the novel, and a spattering of re- ligion, metaphysics, and pornog- raphy. In it Huxley grapples with the problems of human existence as with an octopus, and can give his readers all shades of sensation from falling down a pit to aes- thetic rapture. Time Must Have a Stop has: more heart in it than Huxley’s early cynical works, and that is both its strength and its weakness. Plot The plot concerns a_ golden- haired youth of seventeen, with the face of an angel, and practically no character at all. By the end he has developed a character—through seduction, cheating and the sight and sense of human suffering. This is the deeper theme, trimmed with brilliant and brittle denunciations of the superficiality of life. Alle- gorical in tone, Time Must Have a Stop never descends to the realm of everyday life. Huxley’s moral- istic invective is an_ intellectual fire, bright but not hot. Transition The theme of transition from sensual to spiritual values paral- lels Huxley’s own shift of inter- est, particularly in the direction of life after death. Time Must Have a Stop is, pethaps, the most super- natural of all Huxley’s novels. Parts of it cannot fail to baffle the reader. Eustace Barnack, the hero’s uncle, dies early in the book after leading a life of utter self- indulgence. Every chapter there- after is punctuated by glimpses of his consciousness as he struggles for his individuality against the light that is knowledge of the good. It is a bold stroke that verges on the ludicrous, and reveals that for Huxley the right and good are present only in nonentities. Formless Rebellion As a novel, Time Must Have a Stop is chaotic, static, fantastic, and intellectually over - balanced. As a manifestation of human in- tellect it is awe-inspiring and rath- Try-outs Are you ambitious? Do you want to know the Main Line better? Do you want to exercise your magnetic personality ?

Past Election Years Surpass °44 in Spirit Continued from page 1 unseen bystander.” The Farmer- Labor candidate, accompanied by “his” five wives, maintained a calm aloofness from the otherwise riotous proceedings, saying’ only, “by this series of wives we solve the servant problem.” 1932, in addition to the election proper, intruded the problem of the 18th Amendment. on the poli- tical conscience of the campus. Of 263 people voting in the campus straw vote, 249 declared them- selves in favor of some action on the amendment varying from referendum to repeal, which re- ceived the majority of all votes cast. President Park expressed her concern with the inadequacies of both parties, and declared her intention of voting Socialist. 1936 and 1940 saw the usual rallies, clubs and discussions, 4nd the News carried Willkie and Roosevelt columns in its pre-elec- tion issues.

The Roosevelt fac- tion derived most of its strength from the daughters of professors, writers and publishers. Lawyers, doctors and ministers were about equally distributed among the two parties.

T ~“ , v . a INCIDENTALLY Scrubwoman Little did the college know it was letting itself in for a bonus when it charged one Denbigh Soph- omore the regulation $10 fee for a late change in the registration of courses. Completely dollarless, said Sophomore bemoaned her fate to the smoking room at large, claiming that she would have to resort to scrubbing floors to pay the fine. Denbigh’s spirit rose to the occasion: ten one-dollar bets were quickly laid, and she was challenged to scrub the floors of the Dean’s Office itself. In full view of all the betters, the Dean’s Office was scrubbed from Mrs. Grant’s door to the desk of the very surprised Miss Doiialdson. The fine has been paid, but it is rumored that the charwoman’s union is about to file suit against Denbigh. Imaginative War Workers The UVAP asked for campus enthusiasm in registration days last week, but it hardly expected the Non-Reses’ turnout, which add- ed two completely new depart- ments of work to the schedule. One group hinted mysteriously — that while others might be content with bandage-rolling and other such prosaic pursuits, they were en- gaged in secret work at the Phila- delphia Psychological Institute. It Plans for Germany Reviewed by Robbins Continued from Page 2 splitting up industrial strength. The New Republic considers yet another course of ev@nts: . 1. Complete defeat. 2. The possibility of civil war within the Nazi group. 3. Restoration of laws and structure of the Weimar Repub- lie. 4. Army of occupation. , 5. The encouragement of local governments. e 6. Necessary feeding. A less severé poliey is proposed by the London Economist, which stated that German economy can not be upset and that annexation would not work. The danger here is that Germany might actually benefit from the war, by being from the beginning economically superior to the occupied coun- tries. Feeling in other quarters favors the division of Germany into zones of occupation with Russia, Britain, and the United States each having a specific zone. took a Non-Res Junior really to astound the registration board, however, by stating that she loves chickens, and firmly believes that the raising and care of chickens is vital to victory. The UVAP drew another ‘carefully ruled line, and headed a column “Poultry.” An announcement is expected to ap- pear soon asking all Non-Reses to refrain from giving the rest of the college inferiority complexes by counting unhatched chickens.

Political Clubs Plan Campaign Activities Continued from page 1 those who will vote at the polls and on absentee ballots. Several speakers are to be provided by the Council of Republican Women of Pennsylvania, sponsors of the club, and open discussion meet- ings are planned. In the opposing camp, plans are as equally imposing. At an or- ganization meeting of Roosevelt rooters on Tuesday night, Helen Poland ’47 was elected chairman of the club and coordinator of the different activities. Heading the. group of workers for congressional candidate O’Rourke of Delaware County is Marie Wasserman 45. . Chief job of the campaigners will be door- bell-ringing in the county (which begins opposite Haverford Col- lege) to persuade forward-look- ing voters to help defeat the Pew- McClure machine candidate, Wol- fington. Other active Democrats will work in Philadelphia for the Inde- pendent Voters for Roosevelt, or for the Political Action Commit- tee. Joan Vitkin ’47 is enlisting aid for the PAC, 736 Widener Bulding. Muchvclerical work can be done by students working from 8 to 10 in the evening. The Democratic Campaign Committee of Lower . Merion Township will establish a _head- quarters, possibly in Ardmore, where students will do campaign work.
