THE COLLEGE NEWS ® VOL. XEHi, NO. 7 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1947 Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Mawr College,1945 PRICE 10 CENTS Alumnae Talks Point Out Value Of College Educ. Streeter, Dean, Taylor Stress Ability to Learn Opening a week-end program on Liberal Education and Life in the Community, on Saturday morning, November 9, the Alumnae Associa- tion presented three speakers, on the general topics of the value of a college education for women and the ways in which a liberal educa- tion may be achieved. Speaking on “Education for In- ternational Affairs,” Vera Micheles Dean, known for her work in the field of history, emphasized the necessity that everyone have a! “coherent knowledge” of the prob-, lems of peace. Only thus equipped can each individual contribute his share to the formulation and sup- port of national policy. Mrs. Dean’s conception of the necessary education includes, primarily, an understanding of the innuendoes of languages, teaching of history “not vertically but horizontally” (fol- lowing the world at its different stages rather than considering sin- gle nations as segregate entities, and as thorough an understanding as is possible of the reactions of ; other people—or what Mrs. Dean ealled “international psychology.” Demands for: Education Discussing “The Humanities and | Public Service,” Lily Ross Taylor, ‘Dean of the graduate school, fol- lowed Mrs. Dean, correlating her demands for education with some aspects of the Bryn Mawr curric- ulum. She mentioned the language houses as a concrete way to de- velop understanding rather than mere grammatical knowledge of foreign tongues. She explained that the language houses rather contribute to the community than withdraw from it. The importance of antiquity in the understanding of the modern world is great, ac- cording to Professor Taylor, but should not be over-emphasized. “Education for Participation in Community Affairs” was the topic of Mrs. Ruth Cheney Streeter, for- mer Director of the Marine Corps Women’s Reserve. She pointed out -that from her observations there is a smaller proportion of college Continued on Page 4 Halls Stay Open For Thanksgiving The longer Thanksgiving vaca- tion, being held for the first time since the war, will begin after the last class on Wednesday, Novem- ber 26th, and end at 9 o’clock on Monday, December Ist. All the halls will be open during that time for the students who expect to spend the vacation here. All students are required to sign out on Wednesday after their last classes and to register again at their first class on the following Monday. The Dean’s office empha- sizes that laboratories and any aft- ernoon classes, except for those in physical education, are included as last classes. - Thanksgiving dinner will be served at college, but, since it is not yet known how many students will be here, it has not been decid- ed whether there will be separate meals in each hall, or one meal for everyone in one hall. “Bryn ‘Mawr isn’t all books and - . you'll find enough feminine charm here to repel all fears...” It took a man of discernment to write that, we feel; indeed, there are three of them. They. are the authors of that new and thorough “guide to a terrific week-end,” For Men Lonely. O’Riley, Mose and Jones, of Dartmouth, have rounded up the vital information and 12 leading women’s colleges in the East: “Where is the town’s best entertainment? Who waters their gin? Who sticks you for flowers?” Rooming houses (always given top billing since the night the au- thors had to sleep in the North- hampton jail, while week-ending at Smith), restaurants, florists and | bars are all listed with pungent comments and Bryn Mawr does not get off without having to lick its wounds. The Chatter Box is classified: as “known for its clean- ‘liness, if that’s any help . horn-rimmed glasses by any means ‘couldn’t think of anything else to In Weekend Guide B.M. Passes As ‘‘Not All Books and Glasses’’ By Emily Townsend, ’50- - « we say”; The Hearth “is the place for a sophisticated hamburger ... the prices are a bit blase, too”; The Tavern is “a low-slung job, rem- inincent of the days when Wash- ington and his boys used to paint the town red.” As for the lure of the big city, “most of the college crowd leaves Philly to the Quak- ers ... if you know Philadelphia, you will, too.” The college itself seems more attractive to these men: “the cam- pus is a rolling affair liberally sprinkled with huge Gothic build- ings,” and much easier to look at than those at Vassar or Wellesley, which suggests “one of the tough- er golf courses back home.” “The attractive town of Bryn Mawr is made to order for bicycle trips... which furnish just the excuse you’re looking for.” Continued on Page 2 Beardsley Poses Existence of Art, Problem Involved “The Mode of Existence in Works of Art,” Professor Monroe C. Beardsley suggested that the ques- tion, “What sort of existence do tinction between intent and effect |in the meaning of the work. Con- fining his discussion to literary | works of art, because “the problem “the principles of approach here apply equally well to other forms of art,” Professor Beardsley also presented the question of literary criticism as an empirical disci- pline. “Disagreements about the mean- ing of poems,” Professor Beardsley explained, are the origin of the problem. In the resolution of these different interpretations, Richards, in his Principles of Literary Criti- cism has proposed determining the poet’s intent and setting up a standard of experience. “The poet’s intent, however,” Professor Beardsley continued, “is never ac- cessible in any sufficient degree of circumstantiality; and even if it is available, it is more probable that the author is wrong than that the poem is.” Professor Beardsley asserted that no statements made by Rich- ards were untrue, but inconvenient at times and that the question of whether or not an answer is con- venient depends on empirical fact. “Since there are meanings of the first. and second order,” Professor Beardsley concluded, “the answer rests inside the poem and depends on the meaning of the words used.” Dr. E. C. Lindeman Will Lead Chapel Dr. Eduard C. Lindeman, of the New York School of Social Work, will speak in Chapel on Sunday, November 16. Teacher, author, and lecturer, Dr. Lindeman has also served on many varied committees. Among his interests are politics, progressive education, housing and Indian affairs, as wellas_ social work.

Wells, Professor of Political Science, addressed a week-end meeting of the Alumnae Association of Bryn Mawr College on Sunday, November 9. Recently returned from The Office of Mili- tary Government for Germany, he spoke on “Liberal Education and Reconstruction.” Dr. Wells stressed the value of the knowledge of the language and cultural background of the people whose nation is being re- constructed. Technological knowl- edge is essential, but a liberal ed- ucation is most important for rec- ognition of the larger problems of reconstruction. Dr. Wells found untrained Amer- icans attempting to impose their own forms of democracy in Ger- many, failing to recognize cultural differences. Education in history, economics and politics would ben- efit those who are doing recon- struction work. President McBride summarized the recommendations made by speakers at the Alumnae Associ- ation’s program on Liberal Edu- cation and Life in the Community. It was suggested that education should include a better. speaking knowledge of foreign languages and more study of the social sci- ences. Miss McBride emphasized the necessity of teaching in an in- tegrated manner, presenting the. significance of facts as well as the facts themselves. Liberal educa- tion was also viewed in its im- portant role of encouraging stud- ents to take an active part in the affairs of the community. Inter. Stud. Day Falls on Nov. 17 International Students’ Day, which originated as an anniversary of the massacre of Czechoslovak- ian students by the Nazis on No- vember 17, 1939, is observed as a symbol of union against tyranny. Alt h no special celebration has been planned at Bryn Mawr for November 17, the event is call- ed to the attention of the students because 12% of the undergraduate body and 26 graduate students Bryn Mawr were born This is an unusually large percent- age for an American college. Players Capture In Closing Acts Many Character Roles Present No Obstacle To Play’s Unity by Barbara Bettman ’49 One can wonder just what Di- rector Frederick Thon said to the cast of The Time of Your Life during Saturday night’s intermis- sion, but the fact remains that Acts IV and V were brilliantly done, finally attaining the correct mood of the play, which the act in Kitty’s room had begun to do 4 while Acts I and II were so fast as to lose entirely the atmosphere. The Time of Your Life is the most difficult to produce of all William Saroyan’s always difficult plays. I often feel. that Saroyar should be read for its full impact, that no production can quite put across what he writes about, that like a few other playwrights, he has only written in this medium for convenience’s sake. It is per- haps for this reason that Saroyan himself is so rarely satisfied with the production of his plays. The Time of Your Life has so many parts that it is liable to disinte- grate into so many actors playing so many. character roles; this is. ‘exactly what happened during the first half of the evening, when, | due to the ridiculous tempo, thd parts were distinctly greater than the whole. However, even Mr. Saroyan would have been delightec with the final two acts in Nick's Pacific Street Saloon, which tight- ened up and slowed down to a pace perfect for capturing the typical Saroyan mood of futility with a note of hope, Joe Is Focal Point Ned Coale, who as Joe is the fo- cal point of the play and the threac that holds it together, muffed sev- eral lines and began to rush in the beginning acts. However, during the last half of the play he was excellent and, sympathetic. His part calls for him to be the all- seer who understands and loves al! men under the guise of studying them—a sort of articulate Nick who just likes people and wants -|them to be happy in their own way.

Perhaps, on second thought, it’s better to allow five minutes, or even ten, because there’s the new juke box and all the latest records in the Rumpus Room down the hall—to make tea-time relaxing. (And, of course, the ping-pong tables for the Sports.)

The Big May Day controversy united the college, if not in feeling, at least on the same subject. Faculty asked students, who dropped their customary note-taking and answered back; and smoker arguments raged far into the night, with the relative merits of Princeton vs. Yale, socialism vs. communism, left unno- ticed beside the more pressing argument of yes vs. no. We do not recall seeing the campus so full of spirit; it would be a pity if this spirit were to be let go unused. '_ Every activity on campus, usually entered into whole- heartedly by a few, is crying out for workers. The Blind School needs readers, Valley Forge needs girls to dance with convalescent veterans: can’t you spare time to help them? Numerous drives need solicitors: can’t you begin this sort of work, which you can go on doing for your own community —or begin learning to teach with the Maids and Porters? One of the various political groups might start you on a lifelong civic career: isn’t there one in which you are in- ‘terested? The Title wants writers, and new members; the Art Studio is here for you to express yourself by means of the pictorial arts: in which field do you create? Bryn Mawr needs us: let’s go to work. The Vocational Committee In the flurry of college life, we tend to lose sight of the question as to what we are going to do when we finish Bryn Mawr. The Vocational Committee, of which many of us are unaware or else ignore completely, is a vital organ on cam- pus which keeps our futures constantly in mind. However, it cannot possibly function well if we do not choose to support it! Each fall students are able to indicate through a poll what special types of work are most appeal- ing to them. The Committee, acting on the results of the poll, invites outside speakers, often outstanding in varied fields of work, to talk informally to the students who mani- fested interest in their field. It is awkward and embarrass- ing to them. The Committee, acting on the results of the handful of people turn up, and seems to indicate that we are so wrapped up in the affairs of the moment that we cannot - look ahead to the future. ; The enthusiasm manifested in filling out the polls should not stop there. Rather, if we are to obtain the full benefits offered us by the Vocational Committee, a new awareness must characterize our attitude towards it and its work. The * Vocational Committee can stimulate interest in new careers if it is supported by us; without our support it simply can- not function. gece Current Events Common Room, November 10.— Speaking on political trends in the recent fall elections, Mrs. Neal de- clared that “although it seems the Republican trend is checked, these elections cannot be put down as any indication of what will happen in 1948,” The Democrats were pleased by the course of elections in Kentucky and Indiana. There is always a see-saw battle between the iwo parties in Kentucky, and Indiana was Republican in the last election. The Democrats also made strong gains in Ohio and in Pennsylvania. Nevertheless; Mrs. Neal said, “the returns indicate losses and gains for both sides and not a great swing.” Mrs. Neal went on to explain three important developments in American government brought about by the election. By popular vote New York City has dropped the system of Proportional Repre- sentation that began in 1936. Sec- ondly, with the defeat of Rankin in Mississippi, it is probable that prejudice will not be used as an issue in political campaigns. Last- ly, soldier bonuses were voted in by tremendous majorities in New York and Ohio. These bonuses may easily become a national is- sue. Mrs. Neal emphasized the great importance of the fall primaries, although they are usually only for the elections of local and city offi- cials. She explained in full detail the working of the American po- litical machine; the Pugh machine of Philadelphia is a good example. Candidates are drawn up by the county chairman under the direc- tion of the machine boss. With only about one-fourth of the peo- ple registered turning out to vote, the candidates on the machine slate are easily elected. Mrs. Neal urged everyone to vote, as this is the best way to break the party machine. Cast Captures Mood Of Saroyan’s Play Continued from Page 1 strong enough in defending men’: rights. Jean Switendick had the mos! difficult part in the play, a gir who is simultaneously a prosti- tute and not a prostitute. She handled this part capably and witt considerable understanding, mov- ing with the indecisiveness char- acteristic of Kitty. This is a rolq which most people would overplay, and Jean and Mr. Thon showec, real restraint.

It offers support to the food conservation program of the Truman Administration, and uregs that everything possible be done to alleviate the critical con- dition of Europe. It also advances the belief that the economic recov- ery of Europe is absolutely essen- tial for the continuance of Ameri- can prosperity, and for the main- tenance of world peace. To this énd support is given to the following proposals: (1) That the United States take prompt action for European Recovery under the Marshall Plan. (2) That the special session of Congress send stop gap aid to Eu- rope before any other issue is con- sidered. : (3) That the government al- locate wheat and fuel supplies in order to asure a fair distribution and provide some check on infla- tion. P. Davis, N. Sloss Report on UWF Over 200 delegates and 150 ob- servers met in St. Louis over No- vember 1 and 2 to attend the Unit- ed World Federalist National Con- vention. “The convention was held for the purpose of establishing a general policy for the coming year and to revise the By-laws,” report Nancy Sloss, ’50, and Pamela Dav- is, ’50, delegates from the Bryn Mawr chapter of the Student Fed- eralists. The delegates accomplished the task of redefining and specifying their statements of powers and principles. The cofivention con- cluded that: 1. participation in -|World Government should be open ito all nations, but there should be no right of secession, 2. World ,Government should have a taxing power independent of state taxa- tion, 3. certain domestic, political, economic and social issues, not de- fined as expressed powers for World Government, are reserved to the states. The UWF organization feels that the prohibition of na- tional armaments, a world police force and international control of the atom bomb are the basic essen- tials for any world organization. Larry Fuchs, of C. C. N. Y., was elected president of the national Robert. Lasday as Dudley R Bostwick stole the show. Good ' hart has never laughed harder thar | at this telephone-caressing, ado- ' lescent-voiced lover. It is also t« his credit that the actual scene be- twen him and Elsie tok place i complete seriousness. Shirley Win- ter. was .excellent as_ Elsie, the woman who is composed of equa. parts disillusion and sympathy. John MHauser’s piano- playing was superb enough to compensate for the fact that one ‘was never sure whether he intended to speak in dialect or not. Don Kindler was good as Harry, the comedian at whom no one laughed, and the play between him and Wesley was well done. Hank Levinson was remarkable '—the moment Blick entered the ‘atmosphere changed, and it was hardly necessary for him to speak to show his blind brutality. Joan Gale as Mary L. showed an equally remarkable quantity of stage pres- ence; the scene between her and Joe was simple and touching. Kit Carson, as played by Her- bert Cheyette, was unintelligible during the second act, and conse- qently seemed even longer-winded than the part requires, thus mak- ing this act almost interminably long; but after that he-was ex- SF organization, replacing Colgate Prentice, of Swarthmore. The Stu- dent Federalist chapters are under the direct control of the National Student Council and not the state branch of UWF.

To the Editor: We strongly disagree both with the letters and with the News edit- orial on criticism last week. Neith- er the letters nor the News suc- ceeds in defining the basis on which ,the college productions should be | judged. . | The letters say that such things as group participation and effort, money gained for the Faculty Drive, and handicaps like limited |time should excuse a production 'from its obligations as a work of art. But these elements should be ‘incidental, from the critical point of-view. The News replies that It does not “consider or review a campus production as it does a professional one.” Why not? Both the letters and the editorial seem to assume that there are two standards by which a production may be judged—one being “Broad- way” and the other being “ama- teur.” Neither of these is a sound criterion. Any production, wheth- er it is on campus or on Broadway, should be judged as good or bad theatre in terms of its artistic value and achievement. One letter argues that the News should provide encouragement of creative activity on campus. What is really needed from the News is not encouragement, but good crit- icism. Hard, flip, pseudo-sophis- ticated commentary —is--valueless, and-sugary praise without discrim- ination is just as bad; the critic is not a Prima Donna, neither is she a nursemaid to the tender feelings of undergraduates. Criticism can be creative, and the News can ful- fill an important responsibility if it gives a fair and thoughtful judg- ment of creative activity on cam- pus.

Although there is no doubt in the minds of these Dartmouth men that we are “here for the business of learning,” and though our schol- astic calendar is the only one of the 12 that is not listed, “because it is a book in itself,” yet we are pleased and proud to find ourselves in demand of a Saturday night. “We can dance and we can sing’’ should now be our motto; we, too, can be honey to the week-end bees, whether drones or werkers, and, as these cool northerners sum up our capacities, “The college itself offers little in the way of enter- tainment, but at Bryn Mawr there’s always something to do—if you're interested” (Editor’s note: This essential guide is now on sale in the College Bookshop:) rae | Exchange System Will be Enforced | Starting als November 17, the system of dining room ex- changes will be strictly enforced at both lunch and dinner, Miss Howe has announced. [If -a_ student wishes to eat in a hall, other than her own, she must find a definite person in that hall to exchange with. Otherwise, confusion results, and there may not be enough seats to go around in one hall, while there are vacancies in another. Miss Howe reports that the sys- ‘tem of signing-out for meals is working fairly. well. It has already helped the hall ‘Managers to make more accurate food orders, thus cutting down on waste. THE COLLEGE NEWS ~ Page Three Bryn Maur Defeated by Penn In Fast Twilight Hockey Game Specially contributed by Lenci Abell ’50 _ The Bryn Mawr hockey team, playing its fourth game of the season last Thursday, was defeat- ed 6-3 by Penn. Although play- ing on a slippery field, and pressed by. oncoming darkness, both teams played a very good game. In the opening minutes of the game Penn scored the first goal. The ball went back to center, Betsy Parker, Bryn Mawr’s fresh- man inner, received the ball from the bully and raced down the field with excellent dodging to make the first Bryn Mawr score. This fast play made the Penn team wary and on their toes. The first half was well fought, but the strong Penn team with their pre- cision passes and dodges tallied four more goals to leave a’ half- time score of 5-1. In the second half both teams appeared to be tired and the play- ing was not so neat as that of the first half. The Owl backs put up an able defense, and Kathy Geib held the goal skillfully, making excellent stops all through the game, so that the Penn team could only score one more goal. As darkness covered the field, it ‘was anybody’s game as the backs ‘ could not see what their forwards were doing, and the ball moved from one end of the field to the Cast Captures Mood Of Saroyan’s Play Continued from Page 2 tremely funny and had good com- mand of his stage action.

Geib G Savidge Denbigh Defeats Pem West Octet Undaunted by the absence of its inimitable band, Denbigh entered the finals of the hall hockey series by defeating Pem-= West 3-2 on Sunday afternoon. Pem West’s spirit was hampered by their lack of team. Starting wtih six players, they managed to recruit two more, but this was still not enough to down indomit- able Denbigh! The fourth Denbigh goal was called back for “offsides,”’ however. | The hall finals will be played off next Sunday, when Denbigh meets Rhoads (the team with the invincible ‘“drawbacks’’). This match will follow a match between the Middle Atlantic Intercollegiate team (on which there are two Bryn Mawr—members) andthe Keystone Club, on the Bryn Mawr field. Special Foreign Fellows at B.

Among the for- eign students there are four girls who hold special Trustees’ fellow- ships which have been awarded for this year. Esme Daniel, who comes from the Rhondda Valley in South Wales, explains her coming to Bryn Mawr as “pure accident.” She had been studying at Aberyst- wyth College in the University of Wales and saw a notice one day about a fellowship being given here. “So I sent in my applica- tion and took a chance on getting it.” Esme is doing her graduate work in economics and is enthusi- astic about her courses here. Next year she plans to return home and continue her research there. This is Esme’s first trip to the United States and she is greatly impressed by Bryn Mawr. “The campus is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen,” she says, “and I have only two objections, one, not being able to smoke in my room, A.

Having gradu- ated from the American University in Cairo, in 1946, she was teaching music there last year, when a friend of hers showed her the an- hnouncement of a Bryn Mawr fel- lowship. “I certainly was surprised when I heard that I was to come,’ Wadad explained modestly. “T think the campus is beauti- ful,” she continued, “especially the trees turning red in autumn. We have nothing like that at home and this is the first time I’ve left Egypt.” Wadad is doing her work in the Philosophy department and plans to return to Egypt and teach next year. She loves Radnor and her fellow grads; and she prefers the small houses around Bryn Mawr to New York.

Although very few stud- ents are engaged in this type of | work at present, it has proved sur- |prisingly profitable in the past, 'girls selling articles to as many as 'three hundred students. An ad- vantage is that the work can be done in your spare time and you can work as much or-:as little as you’wish. We still have a few agencies available if anyone is in- terested. The Knit Twist Company would like a campus agent to sell a com- bination one-piece hat and scarf.

Not a real one, it’s true, but a table-top replica that illustrates the fundamental problems which management meets every day in planning, financing, developing, and expanding a telephone system such as the one that serves your home town. They raise miniature telephone poles. They: string mini- ature telephone lines between homes and stores and the central office. They plot the changes required when a new telephone is installed... when a subscriber moves .. . when additional lines are needed in outlying sections of town. And they keep representative records of the money involved: where it comes from, how it is used, and how repaid. Such training in the fundamentals of the business, as well as in technical matters, is part and parcel of a tele- phone career. It is background for good management ... and good management, by trained and ex- perienced employees, helps provide you with the best possible. telephone lowest possible cost. . service at the THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF PENNSYLVANIA _| Page Four THE COLLEGE NEWS f g Acid Bottling, Odd Jobs, Fill Day Of Bureau of Recommendatians by Katrina Thomas ’49 Every kind of job, from reading to Dr. Hubbard and showing art slides on campus to directing sports at a nearby day school, and jobs for after graduation, are found by the Bureau of Recommenda- tions, Room H, Taylor Hall. Here Miss Bates handles both requests of students for specific work (like exercising horses) and the requests of various organizations for will- ing hands (like filling acid bottles down at the chem. lab. or picking apples at a neighboring farm). | Last year the bureau failed to fill only about 30 last-minute baby- sits, one piano request and the de- sires of various businesses for cam- pus agencies.
