From all reports \it seems to be a great success, as they have decided that. “south of the border” is definitely the place -| to live. After spending their first month in Morelia, they moved into an old mansion in Mexico City, which has jall the glamour of a palace, with patios, fountains, and palm trees, plus eleven baths for the eighteen girls. But luxury is not the only pleasant side to life. Apparently there is much to be said for the Mexican “senores,” of which there seems to be no shortage, while they have met such people as Robert Stackpole and numerous Latin movie stars and producers. On the serious side, they are both taking private courses with professors from the University of Mexico and regular courses, includ- ing Spanish literature and poetry, Mexican history and phonetics. During the vacations they t | Fairchild, and razor’| travel | Miss Fairchild — To Leave B. M. For I. L..O\ Post Miss Mildred Fairchild will leave the Sociology Department of Bryn Mawr on February 14th to serve with the International Labor Or- ganization in Montreal. No one has yet been named to replace Miss who is also director of the Graduate Department of So- cial Economy and Social ‘Research here. Miss Fairchild will spend a few months in preparation for her new position, after which she will fol- low the United Nations Organiza- tion wherever it may decide to put up its headquarters. She will head the secretariat controlling condi- .tions under which women and children may be employed. Her office, which is one of the several chapters of the UNO, gov- erning food, drugs, and other. mat- ters of international importance, will try to regulate the kinds of jobs, the number of hours, and con- ditions of health, so that women and children can work § safely throughout the world. This Labor Organization, which Miss Fairchild is to head, is the same one started by the League of Nations after World War I. It has kept operating in Geneva, but now has been incorporated into the UNO.

Of Magazine in Open Meeting Conference Held To Discuss Plans For U. N. 0. Study): Representatives from Bryn Mawr attended a sponsored by the American Asso- ciation for the United Nations, Inc., to discuss plans by which the United Nations might become a living reality to college students for work in the colleges regarding the United Nations. Students from eight other colleges attended: American, Barnard, Columbia, Cor- nell, New Jersey College for Wom- en, Rutgers, Smith, and Swarth- more. It was decided that the Associa- tion could offer to college students three important services: a column for college publications on United Nations news, the facilities of the speakers bureau, and literature on the -UnitedNations._A-column_ giv- ing a factual summary of up-to- date UNO developments will ap- pear in the College News each month, Uy At the conference it was agreed that such groups as the Interna- tional Relations Club at Bryn Mawr should become informed spearheads of activity becoming leaders of opinion on campus and in the community. The Carnegie Endowment has¥ already worked out plans for twelve regional meetings of the International Relations Clubs throughout the country. Thirty- six Middle Atlantic colleges are to participate in a three-day model United Nations meeting at Lafay- ette College in March with each college representing. one of the United Nations. Similar model meetings of UNO can be organized as a special cam- pus activity or as an inter-college forum. Plans are being considered for a Summer Institute preferably at or near the site of UNO where students may ‘study the actual functioning of UNO, attend meet- ings and see and hear internation- student conference, al personalities as they shape UNO policy. Limited Representation Of ‘Title’ Criticized By Students Common Room, January 14. “The purpose of The Title is to publish the best quality of writing, both critical and ereative, on the cam- pus,” stated the-editor, Patsy von Kienbusch '47, at an open meeting held in responsé to current criti- cism, that The Title is not a rep- resentative college magazine. - In this meeting the editors tried to show that some of the criticism was unfounded, and that they felt that the majority of the rest did not pertain to The Title in view of its stated purpose. The Title board however will act on certain sugges: tions raised at the meeting. As Chairman of the Undergrad- uate Council, Patricia Behrens °46 reported the various student crit- icisms which had caused the editors to call this meeting. Many people have felt that The Title is too re- stricted in its scope and only rep- resents “the work of a clique.” Others have objected to the maga- zine as being “too highbrow.” In answer to this last the editors explained that “the aim’ of The Title is to publish “good writing.” They emphasized that the m zine has literary, but not caotale A standards. They stated that they welcome contributions on any sub- ject from anyone on campus. . In. reply to the criticism that The Title contains no humor, the editors pointed out that they had made w specific appeal for such material. Accused of having limiting stan- dards, the editors described their method of selecting material. A contribution is judged on the basis of the excellence of the writing. The fundamental problem of whether The Title should continue to maintain its high standards or cater to the less serious demands of the campus reading public: was also raised. — In answer to the question that they strive for a more universal appeal, Miss Stapleton, faculty ad- visor of The Title, stated that the function of a good literary maga- zine is to represent “only the best,” and not to concentrate on repre- Continued On Page 2 Phoney Excuses Irk Operators As ‘News’ Stupidity Baffles Bell by April Oursler, ’46 The-only way to tell your family you're still alive is to call them col- lect and say hello, even if they re- es. - But only the other day we saw a, girl writing home to her parents, and not even asking for money.
