TH a COLLEGE. NE Wo VOL. -XEH, NO. 14 ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1948 Student Dramas Expose Talents, Provoke Praise Audience Discussions Emphasize Merits Of Dialogue by Gwynne Williams, ’50 Saturday night Mr. Thon’s Play- writing and Production class pre- sented three one-act plays written and produced by the students them- selves. Anybody there must have been impressed by the obvious fun, enthusiasm and interest that went into these plays. There should be more of this sort of activity; one comes away from such an evenifig with a creative incentive, but ade- quate excuse is needed (such as a class, combined with such excellent guiding as Mr. Thon’s) to render the inspiration actual. Audience Discusses Plays The plays were each discussed briefly by the audience. The first, Less Than An Animal, by Marjorie Low, ’50, dealt with the depressing conflict between a sharecropper and his-wife,--In- this melancholy ex- hibition a husband, angered by his wife’s unresponsiveness, plans to Jesert her and: go off with. his daughter. The wife, aware of her husband’s attitude, stirs up her idiot half-brother’s vague inten- tions to marry the daughter. The idiot’s quality of mad possessive- ness for the girl’s prettiness makes him putty in the hands of the scheming mother and presents an origina] aspect of the play. The audience expressed the opinion that the idiot was not entirely credible and criticized some\smaller details, such as too many entrances and ex- its and some repetitiousness. For what the play was worth, the dia- logue was well created and pre- sented, but my impression is that the author is not adequately versed in the lot of sharecroppers to write plays about them. Scream to the Winds, by Alan Levensohn, of a more philosophical nature, deals with the characters and thoughts of five soldiers await- Continued on Page 2 Kuder Pref. Test Set for Feb. 21 What profession or vocation to choose? The question of choosing a vocation will be the main concern of the Educational Service of the College during the next few weeks. On February 21, at 9:30, in Taylor Hall, Rooms F and G, the Kuder Preference r gti ill be admin- istered to . ents who wish to take it. Miss Bates is now taking registrations in Taylor Hall, Room H. Following the administration of the Preference Record, there will be a group interpretation of the results. Mrs. Cox, Director of the Educational Service, will be avail- able for individual interpretations the week after ‘the test. The indi- vidual interview provides an oppor- tunity to discuss your own test re- sults and vocational possibilities. The Kuder is a standardized psy- chologicahtest which helps students identify the vocations which most nearly fit their individual interests. According to Mrs. Cox, the test gives the student an opportunity to survey briefly nine different voca- tional areas and to express a pref- erence for the activities which Continued on Page 2 Sleighing, Movie, Pennmen Here: Take the Big Leap of the Year! by Irina Nelidow ’50 This. year’s Freshman Show Weekend (Leap Year into the bar-|. gain!), promises to be more excit- ing, more original, and more spec- tacular than ever before. High- lighted and climaxed by the Fresh- man Show itself on Saturday, Feb- ruary 28, the weekend holds a store of gay activities that should keep everyone and her date busy every minute. First on the agenda is a movie on Friday evening in the Music Room. Noel Coward’s Cavalcade will be shown at seven-thirty, fol- lowing which all will adjourn to the Soda Fountain, due to open at nine fifteen. The movie will be shown again on Saturday afternoon at three o’clock. After this there will be a brief respite to give every- one time to prepare for the show. Then at eight-thirty The Big Leap will have its world premiere in Goodhart, and sophomore sleuths will have ended or given up their twenty-four hour search. After the show; more fun will begin with the Undergraduate Dance at 11:00 in the gym. Bril- liant, startling decorations whose basie-theme~is~ still secret are be- ing “cooked up” by Gale Minton and her decorating committee. New features of the dance include small card tables placed around the dance floor which may be reserved ahead of time and will make it easier for groups to stick together. Starting tomorrow, dance cards and table reservations may be obtained from eleven to two o’clock in Room A. Representatives to Ann Eberstadt’s Dance Committee include: Virginia Goodhart Dances Multiply Chances Saturday night may be the lone- liest night in the week, but last Friday, the 18th, was anything but that for innumerable Denbigh and Merion girls and more Haver- ford boys. The first in a series of dances, in response to a student pe- tition for more social life on ¢am- pus, was held in Goodhart. From most reports the affair was a thor- ough success and even the NEWS, intending to put in a brief and business-like appearance, was caught in the mood. Music, supplied by the juke box, was continuous because of the ten- cent admission fee. The soda foun- tain worked overtime, supplying welcome refreshments. It was a gala occasion, which served the purpose for the petition signers. A similar dance will be held next Fri- day for the Pembrokes. Miss Dodd Gives 20 Books to Lib. The New Book Committee would like to announce that the books given by Miss Katherine Dodd in honor of Lucy Martin Donnelly are now in the Quita Woodward Me- morial Room. There are 20 new books in all with a great variety of subject matter ranging from Fine Arts to Novels. Some of the titles are The Let- ters of James M. Barrie, edited by Viola Maynell; Robert Graves’ Poems 1938-1945; Trial of a Poet, by Karl Shapiro; Butterfield’s The American Past, A Pictorial History 1775-1945; American Interior Dec- orating, by Merrick R. Rogers, and John Steinbeck’s The Pearl. Graham, Judy Nicely, Nina Cave, Jeannette Hersey and Jess Vorys. Music will be provided by the Pennmen, invited back by popular demand, and during the intermis- sion the Nassoons from Princeton will sing. The Dance Committee has emphasized the fact that every- one must come formally dressed and should go through the receiv- ing line. ‘More festivities on Sunday! A sleigh ride in the afternoon will end up at Valley Green, a hot chocolate tavern. A lack of snow will mere- ly turn the sleigh ride into a hay ride. Four sixteen-seater sleighs have been hired for the occasion, and on this note will end the best Freshman Show Weekend yet. One last item: the gym will be open from three-thirty to ‘six on Sunday afternoon for all those who feel athletic.

Why is each member of the Freshman Class perfecting her game of leap- frog? What mysterious rites have been taking place behind the close- ly guarded doors of Goodhart? The answers to these and many other questions will be revealed when The Big Leap, this year’s Freshman Show, is presented on February 28. in Goodhart. Until then the Direc- tor, Cynnie Schwartz, only smiles enigmatically.

The college must make the best possible plan for furthering “the spiritual de- velopment of the student, broadly considered.” The importance of the problem arises from the ten- dency of religion to disappear from our campuses in the present -“age of secularism.” Dr. Butter- field stressed the necessity of relat- ing “religion in some form or oth- er& to education in general “be- cause the growing sense of spirit- ual uneasiness has made religious enterprise an attempt to satisfy the unrest arising from confu- sion.” Dr. Butterfield’s discussion was based upon “a relatively loose def- inition” of religion; he included in the term two main facets: “com- munion with, search for, belief in a being not ourselves, above and be- yond us, towards which we reach” and “values generally, towards which religious enterprise will move.” Religious enterprise, thus conceived, includes both “faith” and “experience.” “Conceptual no- tions, which conceive of a_ being symbolically” supplement and are supplemented by action and exper- ience. Practical Approach — In addition to the justification of learning in a liberal college as “something of supreme value in its own right,” Dr. Butterfield pointed out that there is an equal- ly important justification which may be termed “practical,” not in a superficial sense, but rather, “what Aristotle meant by practical wis- dom.” In connection with this end of education, Dr. Butterfield be- lieves that religion is essential to a college program. The student must become, “by virtue of the kind of learning one gets in the whole lib- eral program,” a “more highly sensitized, capable thinker,” with increased understanding to enable him to face better the “problems of his unpredictable future.” To make this possible, “one of the burdens of the college is to see that the mind of the student does Continued on Page 2 Calendar Wednesday, February 18 7:15 —=-Marriage---Lecture, Common Room.

Broughton, Berry, Lattimore Fell the Grads, Pile up the Score by Cecelia Maccabe ’50 The basketball game between faculty and graduate students was given the first suggestion of the unorthodox with posters “plug- ging” the faculty team. The first to strike our attention was “Martis 40c, with olives 45c,” and this made a lasting impression upon us when Miss Marti failed to put in an ap- pearance. The sign asking “Have you Broughton your first aid kit?” reassured all spectators that the casual gentleman in slacks who gallantly stopped to pick up each of his student victims was none other than our own classicist. One very ‘young’ gentleman, whose name we think is Jim, com- pletely ignored the poster com- manding “Do not feed or in any way annoy the faculty.” At reg- ular intervals as this spectator pro- ceeded to slide through the railing of the track, ecstatically watching his scientist father boost the fac- ulty score, he was heard to shout “Daddy—Daddy. Hey, Pop!” Oth- er than the score, 53-16, in favor of the faculty, there were no major catastrophies. Several grad stu- dents were felled by strong blows in the course of the game, but since each managed to pick herself up before her guard or guarded, rush- ing valiantly to her side, could be of service, we presume nothing se- Continued on Page 3 a Page Two THE COLLEGE NEWS y THE COLLEGE NEWS FOUNDED IN 1914 Published weekly during the College Year (except during Thanks- giving, Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examination weeks) in the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, Ardmore, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College. mission of the Editor-in-Chief, The College News is fully protected by copyright. appears in it may be reprinted either wholly or in part without per- Nothing that BARBARA BETTMAN, BeTTy-BriGuT Pace, ’49, Copy LoutsE Ervin, °49 JEAN EL.Is, ’49 CECELIA MaccaBE® GwYNNE WILLLIMS, ANNE GREET, ’50 BLAIKIE ForsyTuH, ’51 Betty Mutcn, ’50 Mary Lov Price, ’51 Epize Mason Hams, ’50 Ivy Borow ’50 Editorial Board ~ Marian Epwarps, ’50 Editorial CATHERINE MERRITT, ’51 ELIsABETH NELIDOW, ’51 Photographer RosaMOND Kane, ’48 Business Board Mary BEETLESTONE, °49, Business Manager Joan Rossins, ’49, Advertising Manager Subscription Board Atty Lou Hackney, 49, Manager ANNA-STINA Ericson °48 EpyTHE LAGRANDE, “49 BaRBARA LIGHTFOOT, *$0 BUNNY STADERMAN ’51 {f | ’49, Editor-in-Chief EmiLy TOWNSEND, ’50, Makeup Intna NELIDOw, '50, Makeup HELEN MartTIN, *49 taft gk.

The plays were student-writ- ten, acted and directed, and they were very good indeed. The audience clearly appreciated the high caliber of the produc- tions, and put to good use the opportunity to comment on each play in individual discussions led by Mr. Thon and the student directors. Such tacit recogniton of the importance of free com- munication between the creator and the critic, an interrela- tion necessarily Jimited in more formal productions, gives hope for increased general participation in creative activity in the future,” The pleasure the audience showed in being encouraged to take an active rather than a contemplative role suggests than the dramatic. at equal interest might be taken in other fields More frequent and less formal exhibitions by the Art Studio, the orchestra, the individually talented students who now play and sing only to the basement walls of Goodhart, dance and language clubs, as well as Mr. Thon’s interesting acting class, would certainly be welcome if the standards of last Saturday night were maintained. We hope that Arts Night, as well as giving a comprehensive picture of student creative activity, will also show the general excellence of quality that Playwrights’ Night has led us to expect. BM Students in Italy Describe GG Intellectual and Social Activities by Pat Nichol ’50 “Perugia, small, high on a hill, surrounded by ancient walls, where every stone has a history and every. street is filled with meaning, seems to sleep in the green of its hills, yet it is so alive’—writes Mary Strumia ’48, President of the Ital- ian Student Group in the Smith College Junior Year abroad. She and Anne Storrow ’48, are the two Bryn Mawrtyrs in this group of 12 students who “enjoyed an intro- duction to Italy,” while in Perugia for their visit was “a collection of incidents—lectures and _ classes, concerts and gitas, affreshi and churches, Koran walls, Etruscan remnants and, Papal fortresses, Perugian chocolate and pasta dolce.” After a month filled with intel- lectual and social life, the girls left for Florence for the winter. Their first impression of Florence was from a bus... “a city built in the valley, surrounded by hills, dotted with villas and little towns built around churches,” and they could see “the characteristic Duomo of Brunelleschi and Campanile of Gi- otto and the tower of the Palazzo of the Signoria . . . The very an- cient and medieval part of the city was destroyed and there are now only vacant holes and sometimes neatly piled stones.” Seeing one another at teas, birthday parties and classes, each girl lives with a family in Flor- ence where she necessarily speaks Italian and learns many things, one being the Italian code of man- ners. At the artistic University of Florence they study art, Ital- ian literature, history, and cultures under such excellent professors as Mario Casella, “a great Dante Continued on Page 4 1 \ February 16: “The purpose of the Havana Con- ference is to set up rules of the game for the handling of interna- tional trade and to reduce the trade barriers that have grown up,” stat- ed Miss Mildred Northrop, who is on leave of absence from the Bryn Mawr Economics Department. Miss Northrop is now in the American delegation to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Employment, which started on No- vember 20 and is still continuing. “If the Havana Conference fails to set up a charter, the other eco- nomic organizations of the U. N. will not function well,” Miss Nor- throp said. This charter will be the culmination of three efforts. The proposals for a trade organization were first suggested by the United States two years ago and were drafted and re-drafted in London, New York and Geneva. Between November 29 and De- cember 6 the delegates studied the Geneva draft and proposed no less than 800 amendments. The Con- ference was then broken into six committees that sought to in- crease the standards of living for all peoples, and to remove the as- pects of trade that are used for political purpose. These six com- mittees dealt with employment— seeking a charter with full employ- ment for all; economic develop- ment, which includes foreign in- vestments; and commercial policy. Business practices, commodity agreement and actual organization are dealt with by three other com- mittees. — Miss Northrop emphasized that “although the Charter sets up rules, it has many escape clauses.” The question of voting has also been very controversial. Most coun- tries came out for “one country, one vote.” However, the executive council now gives permanent seats to the eight most economically pow- erful nations. In conclusion, Miss Northrop spoke of the tremendous “weight” that the U. S. has around the con- ference table. She declared “how to learn to use this _power—in the way that will be best is a most serious and important problem.” Three Student Plays Continued from Page 1 ing execution in an enemy prison. The Haverford men who played the parts handled so beautifully the exceptionally sensitive dialogue as to render this play the most worth- while of the evening. Very defi- nite personality and feeling was ex- pressed in each of the five charac- ters facing death with different at- titudes toward wisdom and cour- age. The audience argued whether the play would be more effective in reading than in the presentation. Though the language was out- standing, it is probably true—as Mr. Thon pointed out—that this play would be received with much less interest and attention by a more varied or “average” audience. The last play, The Tune is High, was written by John Hauser, also production manager. This comedy about: two unemployed musicians, one sweetheart, one drunken lady and one tearoom proprietor wasn’t very funny, but gave access to some good humour in the form of two singing acts, a tie-selling act and a drunken “enigma.” The plot, excluding the funny acts, was a lit- tle too dull and ‘meaningless to be worthwhile; everybody seemed a little superfluous. However, there was a natural tone to the dialogue and characters that suggests & promise in the author in reference to future comedies.

The cast is headed by the two romantic leads, the hero- ine, played by Pam Field, and the hero, by Molly Frothingham. The four major comedy parts will be played by Anita Dittmar, Sally Howells, Susie Kramer and Katchie Torrence. Rehearsals on the Good- hart stage started Sunday and will continue through this week and next. Though the Show includes such traditional features as a kick chor- us, the poster auction and of course The Animal, the emphasis is on originality.

Butterfield Stresses _ Religion in Education Continued from Page 1 wrestle in various ways with the complex set of basic human prob- lems.” An awareness of the re- ligious aspects of these problems is to be sought in conjunction with a-consideration of social, political, |ethical, and aesthetic aspects. “The college is in the position of putting the area of religious concern back into the picture along with other areas. Dr. Butterfield pointed out that, while the method varies with areas and situations, the essential need on every liberal campus is a “total community of minds, among faculty and students, that are themselves in the process of growth” among all the dimen- sions of a liberal college. Issues Hours for Goodhart ‘Goodhart will be open until 11.30 p. m. Sunday through Thursday, and until 2 o’clock on Friday and Saturday.

The college will pay the extra charges. in related fields must be realized by an aware faculty; department- alization in the extreme must be transcended. The creation of such a state of mind will depend in part upon the choice of faculty and in part upon “the kind of machinery used to further and stimulate en- terprise on any given scene.” Dr. Butterfield cited, for exam- ple, the stimulation of a more open-minded and scholarly atmos- phere by a required “Humanities” course at Wesleyan University. A study of the important books of Western civilization, mostly relig- ious in interest, with the emphasis chiefly but not exclusively on re- ligion, seems to have produced the desired effect of increasing the “in- tellectual respectability of re- ligion.” WIT’S END Earth provides groundwork for spring as balmy sprites float hither and yon.

Why, that night she had on a... honestly, you’d have sworn it was a maternity gown, and for no reason... And she’s a graduate of Bryn Mawr and one of the oldest families in Philadel- phia.” But, Mrs. Guthrie is really awfully nice. “She was the first woman in Portland that called on me and I thought it was awfully nice of her, though when I saw her at the door I would have sworn she was a book agent or maybe a cook looking for work.” Mrs. Guthrie and her husband argue over the bridge table, accord- ing to the talkative lady who ram- bles on: “She’s nice and quiet and it’s a kind of mystery how they ever fell in love ...I never saw two people with such different tastes. For in- stance, Mr. Guthrie is keen on mo- toring and Mrs. Guthrie just hates it. She simply suffers all the time she’s in a car. He likes a good time, dancing, golfing, fishing, shows, things_like that.__She-isn’t interested in anything but church work and bridge work.” Cosmopolitan Publishes This story was published in 1926 by Cosmopolitan magazine, but two summers ago the same publication rejected a story about a middle- aged Bryn Mawr graduate, an old maid of one of Boston’s best fam- ilies who traveled to Mexico with two friends. While she was there she picked up a ring at a little jewelry store, a hideous ring which she really did not want, but had some difficulty removing it from her finger so that she bought it. A dashing young senor, always in white, becomes quite attentive to our heroine who imagines he ‘is tre- mendously enamored of her. She consents in wild ecstasy to go boat- ing with him, but instead of ser- enading her and caressing her hand on this joy-ride, he sticks a dagger into her breast. Then, cutting off the finger that wears the ring, he sets the body adrift. The ring he sends to his own true love —his mother! Pref. Test Scheduled.

One grad student was forced to stop the game while she tied’her shoe lace. Fortunate- ly, she had possession of the ball at the time. Mr. Berry was hit on the head by a ball from the hand of one of his teammates before the game began, but this did not, as the graduates may have wished, elim- inate him from the starting line- up. Messieurs Berry and Broughton were the star basket throwers among the faculty, aided and abet- ted by Mr. Lattimore and one graduate who was confused by the change of baskets at the half. Long passes were the chief contribution of Mr. Norris, whose strength was beyond all imagination and whose aim was confused by a malicious desire to murder the spectators on the track. Mr. Alcola played, in contrast, such a gentlemanly game that we are left with nothing but praise for him. Noteworthy in behalf of the graduates was their average size. We overheard Mr. Sprague say it was a shame they weren’t all sev- en feet tall, and so it was. Despite all, they fought undaunted to the bitter end. We presumed, upon see- ing Mr. Lattimore, surrounded by beautiful women, throwing the ball from his sedentary position on the floor, that some grads at least had their revenge. The Broughtons’ cocker pup ap- parently succumbed to the noise and excitement during the last quarter and had to be removed, howling, to the wide open spaces.
