It is high time for this two-year-old magazine to grow up, to pull itself to its feet and take a few steps.. It has reached the turning-point of its career. The future of The Title will, we feel, be clearly deter- mined in this. period between the meeting Monday night, and th appearance of the March issue. When a college magazine does not succeed in being of « interest to a large percentage of the undergraduates, the statement is always made that the contents and policies are effected by the too-small group of students who make up the Board. Unfortunately, the policy of The Title remained unde- fined for so long that many of its original aims became ob- secured. When, two years ago, a small group of students started the new magazine, the first issue was of necessity the work of a small, tightly-knit organization who planned, exe- cuted and completed it. It was the wish of these students to begin the next year with the idea that anyone who was in- tetrested could and should share i in some way in the develop- ment of the baby magazine. 3 The original editors lacked experience, particularly the experience of working with and for a large group of people with varied tastes and ideas. Because of a lack of good pub- licity, resulting in a mysterious haze around its inner work- ings, it seemed as if The Title board was, if unconsciously, setting itself up as the judgment seat before which only eru-' dite theses, and products of the hard gem-like flame of gen- ius would or could be considered. This misconception seems to have grown into an unfor- tunate reality. In spite of the efforts made along this line by the editors, the fact remains that such an idea does exist in the minds of all undergraduates and this is as fatal as thé re- ality itself. Regardless of whether the Board considered Monday night’s suggestions of concrete value, they must - wake up to the fact that the campus: sist is not satisfied with the magazine as it now stands. If The Title continues to ignore popular opinion, a new " magazine must inevitably result. .It may be that there is room.for two magazines on campus: a “literary” and a “ resentative” magazine have not the same aims. But they need not be mutually exclusive aims. Theoretically it is fectly possible forThe Title to meet both demands. If the edin this respect the value of nes meeting will not have lost in the shuffle of controversy. Current Events “We have to meet the Russians ‘on their ‘own ground, but most im- portant we have to realize what our own commitments and responsi- bilities are,” said Mrs. Manning in a discussion. of. Russia andthe United States. Russian international policy, in Mrs. Manning’s opinion, is a re- expression of Russia’s historic aims particularly in respect to an outlet in the Baltic and Black seas. Mrs. Manning cited the view that Russia is still pressing the aims of international communism, but believes that the pursuit of non- ideological gains takes precedence in present Russian policy. Contrasting with the American, Russian leaders are enabled to pur- sue the policy established relative- ly uninfluenced by popular opinion which supports but does not con- trol the government. The Russians are in no position and have no de- but are using the fluid state of af- fairs as an opportunity to press for and frequently obtain their aims by a clever strategy of bargaining. The United States, on the other hand, presents the opposite picture. The government is very much con- ‘| trolled by popular opinion which, at the same time, has failed to show the government its willing- ness to support a constructive pro- gram of international action. The United States, Mrs. Manning point- ed out, is the only nation in a posi- tion to bargain effectively with Russia and put a check on her most nationalistic desires, yet we have | denied the responsibilities both po- litical and military which that po- sition entails. Donations Asked In Clothing Drive Bryn (Mawr .College students have been asked to aid the victims of World War II by supporting the Victory Clothing Collection for overseas relief, a drive which runs till the end of this month. The Alliance, with the approval | * of the Undergraduate Council has decided that the most sensible way for Bryn Mawr to contribute is through the college Relief for Eu- rope organization. It is hoped that increased incentive of the current nation-wide drive will increase clothing donations for campus overseas boxes. The. national goal is one hun- dred million serviceable, used gar- ments in addition to shoes and bed- ding. The urgency of the need for ‘| still insufficiently clad.” such clothing is illustrated by the fact that although the-drive last spring clothed ‘about 25,000,000 ppbnleeutat each one who received an American garment—a dozen are Policy Of Magazine - Clarified By Editor Continued from Page 1 senting every group, or every grade of writing. “I should hate to think that Bryn Mawr wouldn’t support a good literary magazine,” she added. Membership on the hoadil of The Title is open to anyone with the necessary qualifications, “prefer- ence being given to people who have shown a sustained interest in writing for the magazine,” ex- plained the editor. Tryouts will be held in the spring and the fall. The editors admitted that the mechanism for stimulating interest in the magazine has not been ade- quate. Several constructive sug- gestions were offered, among them -} that they _givemore. to their activities and requirements. sire to precipitate armed conflict,’ ° In Gibennirtate Roxa Emmons Lee Peakes, . for- merly a member of the class of 1946, died in Winter Haven, Flor- ida, on December 28, 1945. The News has received the following letter from Roxa Lee’s mother: “T enclose a death notice of my daughter. Roxa Lee Peakes, who was a member of the class of 1946. She left college a year ago last fall to marry Edmund Peakes, March 11, 1945.

Her husband was in Guam at the time and is now on his way home on emergency leave. “I can see no way of getting this tragic news to her many college friends and mine but to make sure the notice will appear in your next issue, Truly yours, Mary M.

To the Editor: We went to the meeting called for those interested in the future of the Title. A spirit of intellec- tual snobbery and intolerance pre- vailed which shocked and angered those who attended with no pur-. pose other than to advance con- structive suggestions. We thought that the T:tle edit- ors honestly wanted opinion. They merely advanced a defense of their activities and policies. We went in a friendly mood genuinely inter- ‘ested in the welfare of the maga- zine, because we felt that Bryn Mawr should have a good maga- zine, and also. that a good maga- zine can be representative. We consider ourselves represen- tative undergraduates, but our tastes do not run to the stream of stylized subconsciousness always filled with strong bits of other au- ° thors. We too like literature and good literature, even if our criteria .do not conform to those of the Board of the Title. ‘Since we think that as college students we are reasonably intelli- gent, we believe that anything rep- resentative is not necessarily non- literary or banal. The two points of view are not incompatible. We would like to have a maga- zine on campus to which everyone would feel free to contribute, re- gardless-of-her style—a magazine whieh within a systematic frame- work would maintain a high stan- dard in all fieds. We like our Joyce and Eliot in the original, not tainted by the pseudo-intelligentsia. We also be- lieve that we can be proud of what undergraduates can produce. It is not necessary to varnish the’ pro- duct with a deliberately obscure style which often fails to congeal the lack of contents. Is a new magazine necessary ?
