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. Marshall Jean Switendick (Editor’s note: Geraldine War- burg’s plan was printed in the opening column of last week's News). WBMC Organizes Radio Programs The Radio Club of Bryn Mawr, in conjunction with the one at Haverford, broadcasts a show each Thursday evening from 9 to 9:30. “WIBMC Presents” has featured light drama so far. It is broadcast from Haverford and can be heard only on that campus. However, the Bryn Mawr station, located in the Pem East basement, will be used as soon as enough halls have switched from DC to AC current. Anyone interested in radio work,,. script writing, entertainment, an- nouncing or dramatics is urged to contact the Radio Club. There is work to be done now. Longer and more varied programs are being planned for next year, including campus news, classical and popu- lar musical recordings, presenta- tion of plays from the play-writing class, forums and talent shows. Present officers of the Radio Club are: Stage Manager, Frances Nafe; Production Manager, Sharon Luley; Head of the Script Depart- ment, Shirley Wood; Personnel Director, Barbara Kuhn.

Buffalo Bill and.his favorite bronco will be seen galloping vided by a roulette wheel, poker games, and even a ‘penny-a-peep” machine. A staff of Rock chefs has planned delightful ‘hors d’- oeurvy but filling’ refresliments, and Joe, Rock’s trusty bartender, will be there mixing his own = Kalties. _ Red plush and green felt will predominate in the -showease, where game tables and easy chairs will be located. Brass spittoons will be conveniently placed, and all re- volvers must be checked at the door. ee Couples may wear ‘best bib and .| tucker’ or informal clothes. Tickets are $2.75 and may be artes
