Title Seeks Talent -For Autumn Issue The Title 1s seeking stories, es- * gays, poems, fiction and non-fiction ‘material for publication in its fall The Board of the Title feels the student body should realize that this is their magazine, their channel for literary expression. By making . appeals to both Freshmen and upperclassmen, the Title hopes to get a wider sub- scription, thus enabling them to , publish a bigger and more repre- sentative issue. The Title urges ‘all writers to send contributions to Sylvia Stallings, Rhoads North, before the deadline, November 12. Undergrad Drive Committee Seeks Quota of $12,000 The Undergraduate Committee for the Drive, headed by Nancy Martin, 49, has set a quota of $12,000 for student contributions during the present year. Last year’s quota, $7,500, was exceeded by $2,792.92, and it is hoped that this year’s quota will also be top- ped. Soliciting of freshmen in the in- dividual halls will begin on Thurs- day, October 23. Although sopho- mores and upperclassmen will not be approached directly, the com- mittee hopes that they will give as much as they are able. The rest of the sum will be made up from benefit performances, of which the Junior Show will be the first.

Their enthusiasm for Mexico is boundless. Both seniors are hunting for jobs which will take them back: next year. Lindsay.and Ada spent the first month of their year in Mexico liv- ving with a family in Puebla. They “gonsider this one of their most valuable experiences. Lindsay had six brothers, two sisters and in- . mumerable nieces, nephews and in- laws in her Mexican family, which gave her a good start towards un- derstanding the Mexican people. «a. The group lived in the former French embassy in Mexico City, a ' beautiful two-story house with a . “divine patio,” known as Lerma 76. a day, given by the “best profes- ” and they greatly way in which their eourses were correlated.

Lindsay and Ada give glowing details of their field trips. Lind- say rode on horseback to the fa- mous voleano -Paricutin. She de- scribes the thrill she had while standing in the dark only a short distance from a flaming stream of lava, watching hot rocks clang down the side of the great volcano. Ada actually unearthed skele- ons, ceramics and “things” on an archeological expedition. = The group also made visits to many of the beautiful old towns and an- cient ruins for which Mexico is so famous. Lindsay wants it to be known that she did not go to Aca- pulco, the beach resort which at- tracts nearly every tourist, Confining themselves to the more restricted life of the Mexican women was an understandable problem for the “emancipa norteamericanas.” Lindsay reports Continued on Page 3 A. Schlesinger To Speak Here On October 30 Professor Arthur M. Schlesing- er,\Jr., author of The Age of Jackson, will speak on “Patterns of Democratic Change,” for the annual Mallory Whiting Webster Lecture, to be held in Goodhart Hall, Thursday, October 30, at 8.30, Professor Schlesinger’s study of the Jacksonian era, best-seller Pul- itzer Prize winner of 1945, is noted for its historical insight and for its extraordinarily vivid literary style. Since the publication of this book, which was based on his Low- ell Lectures, Professor Schlesing- er has been regarded by many people as the most brilliant of the younger historians. Following his graduation from Harvard, where he was a member of the Society of Fellows, he work- ed in Washington as a free lance writer, publishing articles in such weeklies as Life and Fortune. In this same year Professor Schles- inger held a Guggenheim Fellow- ship and did research on the New Deal for his forthcoming book to be titled The Age of Roosevelt.

Ut = Mawr Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Mawr CofMege,1945 PRICE 10 CENTS Undergraduate Council Launches Kconomy and Clean-Up Campaign Class of "47 Has Varied Positions: Many Still Study The fruits of a Bryn Mawr de- gree reaped by the class of 1947 should encourage dubious under- graduates. Four years at Bryn Mawr seem to have stimulated rather than blighted the interests of the graduates if the list of those employed is an indication. Some of them have even gone so far as to prove that good jobs can be landed without the aid of “Katy Gibbs” or her colleagues in the secretarial field. A very interesting position is held by Martha MacDonald, a pro- gram manager and script writer forthe World Wide Broadcasting Company in Boston. Nancy Cow- ard is doing equally impressive work. She is helping to:write a history of the last World War for the War Department. An interne with the National Institute of Pub- lic Affairs, Meg Urban seems to have a job™with a future. The class of ’47 is even represented at the U.N., as Ruby Chen is there with the Chinese delegation. Literary, Scientific Work The publishing business Continued on Page 2 has Activities Drive Approaches Goal The thermometer in Taylor, reg- istering the contributions made to the annual Activities Drive, has now reached the $2,000 mark. Denbigh leads among the halls with 100 per cent contributing and Rhoads is runner-up. The $4,000 goal must be reached by Sunday night, when the drive officially ends. The proceeds from the drive will be used to finance the varied char- itable activities sponsored. by. the League. Edythe LaGrande, ’49, chairman of the drive, urges each student’s volunteer support. Hall representatives will receive the contributions. It is hoped that each student will give $7.00. Urge Help of Students — To Halt Needless Expenditures Today marks the opening of a campus-wide Economy and Clean- up Campaign organized by the Undergraduate Council to continue through the year. At a time when costs are rising considerably while residence fees remain unchanged, students are urged to unit® in a concerted effort to cut needless College expenditures for food, elec- tricity, water, heat and property maintenance. The Council empha- sizes that maintenance of college property involves keeping it clean. In formulating its program the Council has worked with President McBride, Miss Howe, Director of Halls; Raymond Buckley, Comp- troller; and Horace Smedley, Col- lege Superintendent. “We feel that the students can be of very real help in eliminating unnecessary ex- pense”, Mr. Buckley states. He reports that the cost for all halls in preparing and serving meals in 1946-47 represented an increase of 6044% over the expend- iture in 1941-42. In the same five- year period, the cost of coal for heating and lighting has risen 55 7/10%. In contrast to these figures Mr. Buckley points out that the College has raised its res- idence fees only once. This was in the beginning of 1945-46 and amounted to an average of $40, or about 15%. Economy Program Sign- out for meals. In order to conserve food the Undergrad Coun- cil asks each student to sign out for the meals from which she in- tends to be absent. When dinners are provided for people who do - not appear it costs the college money. Three days’ notice will save ordering food, while 24 hours’ notice will save actual cooking. Develop a conscience about elec- tricity. This will save on current, coal and light bulb bills. Unnec- essary lights should be turned off in bedrooms, bathrooms, hall lib- raries and especially in the smok- ers. The Council hopes that it will be unnecessary to introduce a proc- tor system. Don’t let tubs overflow. Savings Continued on Page 3 Lucite Reporters Investigate . Wildlife in Creeping Fingers by Emily Townsend ’50 What are “sagebrush knees”? Apparently a painful and enduring ailment; it is only one of the many pertinent problems posed by the forthcoming Junior Show, Big As Life. Aside from this mysterious- ly prevalent disease, and the fam- ous desperado Black Jack, how- ever, there seems to be no draw- backs to life in Creeping Fingers, California. The town is equipped with every- thing necessary for a well-balanced existence: two excellent saloons, The Last Draw, and The Golden | Lily, and a popular concern known as Dima Dance—20 Girls—20. And don’t forget, ladies and gentlemen, the patent-medicine man, who in- cludes in his bargain a little pic- ture “that will show you some- thing you've: always wanted to see.” Obviously, Creeping Fingers is the perfect spot for the Lucite publications to investigate Amer- ican private enterprise, and the Life reporters who are sent to cover the situation can find few faults. with the assignment....And what faults can there be in a town that boasts the largest bottles and most sloping bar in all the liquor- ous West? So “raise the roof on a hundred proof—the weakest take it straight.” A lovely heroine is, of course, an added attraction to any town, even if she does come from Perth Amboy. “She has both pharmaceutical and botanical fame, Gentian Violet is her name.” And to keep the emphasis where it belongs, there is a risque lady, Mellow, who is very mellow in- deed; the kick chorus girls lift their shapely limbs on high, and cry, “Just wait till we put on our pink tights;’” and all in all, as the Juniors insist, “It’s a hot spot, and why not?”, since it’s the show of 49, and all for the benefit of the Fund.

In spite of previous similar campaigns, this fall’s clean- up program will be intensified and will be incorporated into a conservation program on the campus. It seems rather odd that it requires a campaign to make Bryn Mawr students clean up their campus. We live here for eight months of the year, yet we give our halls none of the consideration we give our homes—in which we spend only half as much time. No one asks the students to go around policing. You are asked only to be responsible for yourself—not to leave messes in the smoker, to field-strip your own butts, pick up the news- papers you have strewn about the floor. Carelessness alone accounts for the shocking condition of the campus; a little awareness will easily cure it. On the other hand, conservation will require a bit more consciousness. The college cost of living has.gone up; the cost of residence has not: obviously ends won’t meet. How- ever, we can help in various ways—and not “little” ways but real ones. Electricity can be conserved: turn off your lights when you leave your room; turn off the radio when you go to ‘lunch; turn off the lights if you’re the last one to leave the smoker at night. Food can be conserved: don’t take that extra bottle of milk in the morning and leave it to curdle| outside your window; don’t forget to sign out for meals— an ounce of prevention. In this year when waste is crimin- al, conservation should not be a sacrifice but a normal pro- cedure. Singing: Improve It Or End It Friday night’s step singing was a miserable perform- ance. Half the participants did not know their words—and appeared generally indifferent. If the rest were aware of their leaders, they certainly did not show it. Most of the Song Mistresses were really singing solos. Bryn Mawr’s tra- ditional Lantern Night could not have closed in a more feeble fashion. No wonder many visitors left before the end. This type of college singing has gone on long enough. Surely a group that is noted for its Chorus and musical shows can rise to something better. There are relatively few occa- sions when the four classes join together for events such as Lantern Night. Both students kasapi should find Current Events The implications of the Marshall Plan for economic reconstruction were analysed by Miss Mildred Northrop, Professor of Economics, speaking at Current Events Mon- day, October 20. This “four year report” is as vital to the United States as to Europe, Miss Northrop emphasized. _ At the end of the war the United States was the only country cap able of matching her pre-war pro- duction, she explained. The econ- omic system on a world-wide ba- sis; which had until the war made possible exchange and sale among all nations, was broken off. “Each nation has been thrust back inside its own boundaries”, Miss North- rop said, and the United States is the only country now in the posi- tion to start the ball rolling again. The basic aim of the Marshall Plan is to help the countries of Europe help themselves, Miss Northrop continued. In order to bring about “international realign- ment”, the countries involved have agreed to work toward three fun- damental goals. Each seeks to raise its production, to establish inflation control in the effort for a more stable financial system, and to develop mutual free trade. Fin- ally, the United States, as well as Canada and Latin America, must help to resolve the existing deficit of the participating countries by sending them approximately twenty-two billion dollars’ worth of raw materials and tools. About two-thirds of this quota is to be supplied by the United States and will be sent during the four years allotted to the Plan. Miss Northrop pointed out that the United States can neither buy democracy nor. shape political changes. with such economic aid to Europe. The Plan gives the Americas certain privileges, but it also places responsibilities on them. Any attenrpt to use the Marshall Plan to assert American rights in political affairs, or to control the use of the money’ invested would only create bitter feeling. Student Feds. Plan Year’s Activities The Student Federalists aim to educate student opinion on the needs for a limited world govern- ment, for prevention of war and Tn the for control of atomic energy. striving toward these Bryn Mawr Chapter works with the Philadeiphia Council of the United World Federalists, with Haverford and Swarthmore and with other schools and colleges in a five-county area. A lecture on world government will be the feature of a fiorthcom- ing campus publicity program in preparation for a membership drive. Off campus the Bryn Mawr Chapter has been: placed in charge of organizing chapters in neigh- boring private schools. To carry goals ;out-this._program jointmeetings will be held with Haverford to train speakers in actual theories of world government. As soon as Congress reconvenes, the group plans to present a pe- tition and to lobby for passage of the Taylor-Mundt resolution, which would set up a provisional com- mittee to amend the United Na- |tions Charter. Other Chapter plans include the writing of scripts.to be used on local and collegiate ra- dio stations. Work will also be done on “The Realist”, the Phila- delphia publication backing world government. Committ ony out | program.

Warburg Chapel Plan Backed by Students; _ Poll Urged To the Editor: We think Geraldine Warburg's suggestion for a less formal, more strictly spiritual chapel service was excellent, for all the reasons she gave. Perhaps ‘Wednesday eve- ning would be a good time for speakers to lead an informal dis- cussion in the Common Room. The challenge to the Chapel Com- mittee would be to make the Sun- day evening service really spirit- ually satisfying, and the Wednes- day evening discussions really worthwhile. We think this is wholly possible, and that it is the. most likely solution to the present problem. We suggest that action in the form of a poll of student . support of or oppostion to Ger- aldine Warburg’s plan be taken.. Sincerely, Lucia Rogers Margo Vorys Ann Corcoran th-Lee Perlman Mary B.

Dripping taps should be reported immediately, so that washers may be renewed. The Administration is working to make heat distribu- tion more uniform over the cam- pus. i Be thoughtful. General careless- ness is responsible for much wear and tear on college furnishings, the Council continues. Damage from cigarette burns and_ ink stains, for instance, could easily be avoided. Clean-up Campaign The Undergrad Council empha- sizes the importance of keeping the campus neat both inside and with- out. Students and alumnae should not be embarrassed to bring visit- ors into the halls. Smokers, es- pecially, must be kept clean. Ash trays are there for a purpose. The _ hall presidents plan to enforce the clean-up program. Outside the halls bright yellow wastebaskets adorned with the col- lege seal have been placed at stra- tegic points. Painted by members of the Council, they are not there _ for ornament only. Scandinavian Trip Is Contest Prize Six free trips to the Scandinav- ian countries in the summer of 1948 with all expenses paid will be first and second prizes for the best essays on “The Influence of Swedish Settlers on a Community or Region” in a contest sponsored by the Swedish American Line, G. H. Lundbeck, Jr., the® managing director, has announced, Other awards include three trips to Swedish Pioneer Centennial Cel- ebrations planned in the Midwest next summer while nine awards will be in the form of U. S. Sav- ings Bonds. The contest is open to three groups, judged separately: 1 Col- lege undergraduates; 2/High school and preparatory students; 3 Adults regardless of occupation. The con- test closes April 1, 1948. Fourteen prominent educators and heads of colleges will serve as judges. “This is the first time a contest on this subject has been initiated” Mr. Lundbeck states, “and we hope it will bring to light many inter- esting stories of Swedish immigra- tion and the influence of Swedish settlers on American culture.” The essays, written in English, may concern a person—man or women of Swedish descent—anywhere /1 the United States or Canada. While the subject need not be a person of national or historical import- ance, it must be one who has ex- erted an influence on a community or region. ° Returning Students Praise Mexican Life Continued from Page 1 that if you “project yourself more into the Mexican customs and for- get who you are, it can be done.” The Smith group limited them- selves to “double dates and only on week-ends,” but this does not seem to have prevented them from mak- ing a great many friends. Bull fights, the typical dances and music of Mexico, the wonder- ful people and just life in general captured the Bryn Mawr seniors completely. ,Indeed, Ada was “so mad for the Mexican ambiente” that she stayed down through the summer to translate books—“mak- ing up a new Spanish language,” she modestly adds.

BRYN MAWR A Rose By No Other Name Wilt’ Smell As Sweet JEANNETT’S BM Teams Gain by Gwynne Williams °50 The Bryn Mawr hockey teams distinguished themselves by gain- ring three victories over opposing teams this week. .On October 15 the first team ‘overpowered Drexel] 6-1, and the second team gained five goals to Drexel’s two; Octo- ber 17, the third team defeated Ur- sinus 4-0. The first team game was neat and exciting, for both the forward line and backfield moved down thé field in continuous cooperation. Four of Bryn Mawr’s goals were made by the center, Sheila Eaton, who received passes from Betts As a result of one of the more un- usual penalties in hockey, the pen- alty bully between the center and opposing goalie, Sheila Eaton made one of the four goals. The other two goals ,were made by Betts McClure, who sent a clean, hard shot from the edge of the circle, and Betsy Parker, who had just been substituted from the second team. The second team played equally well for their 5-2 victory, but the third team displayed a certain amount of inexperience. Sunday, Rockefeller defeated Pembroke 2-1 in the first of the series of hall games. The high caliber of the teams may have been due to the enthusiasm of the five lone male spectators.

Freshman—left front; Sophomore—left back; Jun- ior — right ‘back; Senior — right front. Upon graduation the tassel comes back to where it originally started.
