It is hoped that in this manner, points which have hitherto been ambigu- ous, will be made clearer to the Campus. The heads of these organizations, together with the heads of the Athletic Association and the Col- lege News, constitute the Under- graduate Council, headed by the President of the Undergraduate Association, which meets weekly to discuss plans and current cam- pus problems, and to co-ordinate all campus activities.

Dr. Calhoun, presenting the last in a series of three lectures on Basic Christian Doctrines, emphasized the triple role of Christ as prophet and teacher, as Messiah, and as Saviour. As a teacher and prophet Christ emphasized morality, especially the covenant relationship between God™and map. Christ made a cer- tain moral distinction between ethics and ceremonials. It is the ethical side which is of primary importance, but the outward act gives light to the inward self. The theological context in which these affirmations are .made is that the sovereignity of God and his Kingdom is the supreme focus of all that man should be; and do. Christ is recognized as the embod- iment of the prophetic word. As Dr. Calhoun said, “He stands first _| of all then, as first of the “pro- phets.X It was in his lifetime that Christ came to. be considered as the Mes- siah. Reluctantly, Christ came to think of himself as such, but the breath’of hope that he uttered was met by deaf ears. His suffering and death were seen as an end which would usher in the reign of God. His followers realized that, par- adoxically, after his death he be- came more powerful than before. From his death new spirit spread abroad, for there was a power of tremendous emotional excitement “to pick up the broken body and make it walk”, as Dr. Calhoun put it. This was evidence that a new era was ushered in, for “out of his death this strange power had come forth.” God is‘considered the mediator, for he has healing powers and steadily maintains the inexorable moral order. God.is.steadily the ground for human salvation, for his wall of norms cannot be mov- ed. God is his own mediator. That is, he doesn’t require a third party, or Prometheus, to step in between him and mankind. Copyright, Trustees of PRICE 10°CENTS College, 1945 Undergrads Vote For Amendments.

The — resolution, which provided signing-out times to Philadelphia, escorted, should be changed to one o’clock by car and 1:30 by train, and on the Main Line to one o’clock by ‘car-and train, was ap- proved by 295 students. This ar- rangement applies only to restau- rants and hotels subject to curfew regulations. The. four amendments proposed by the Undergraduate Association were acted upon by a quorum of 396 students with 824 approvals needed for passage, and were all adopted, 392-4, 294-21, 392-4, 381- 15.

The letter styled this proposal as typical of gram- mar schools, and condemned its_appearance in the realms of higher education. It called for better discipline on the part of each student and an elimination as far as possible of of- ‘ficial measures of organization in the college. The charge of “organization” leveled at the replacement of mid-semesters by more frequent quizzes does not seem. valid; for quizzes whose frequency is left to the determina- tion of the professor bespeak less organization than _mid- ‘semesters imposed on every course at .a time arbitrarily se- lected by the Dean’s Office. The purpose of these quizzes is to permit the professor to test the understanding of the stud- ent after the course has covered material which comprises in some : ee a unit. This need not mean that the empha-. seas the various elements. which go to make up the trends envisaged in the course as'a whole. Quizzes viewed in this manner should do much to “de-organize” the academic program. The plea for better individual distipline is one which merits serious consideration, for Bryn Mawr students, are rather lax in this respect. This defect arises partly from im- maturity, and partly from the failure of American prepara- tory schools to develop individual discipline. Recently the colleges have been forced to take over many of the functions | properly performed by preparatory schools,-and though this trend is regrettable, it is necessary. that the college assume some responsibility in remedying this deficiency. At the _same time, however, this action: should not lay the basis for adoption by the college of the academic work of preparatory schools. . The University of Maryland, in response to ‘the New York Times survey on American History, has recently re- organized the curriculum of the first two years, imposing the study of American History, Government and CulturaLDevel- opment. This is an example of the college assuming, the aca- demic function of preparatory schools, yet because’ of the startling results of the Times poll is probably necessary un- der the circumstances. This decision, however, may prove unfortunate if it should lead to similar action i in fields where there i is a less precise needs . Though the existence of any quizzes at all ‘does reveal the lack of discipline cited in the’letter, they area necessary : college 1 measure to help the student form her own discipline, an do not contain the dangers of the Maryland program.

In reply to Franco’s let- ter urging a “British-Spanish un- It’s Not That Difficult Since last week’s assembly in which Miss McBride ex- pressed ‘the college’s feelings ‘on the subject of vacation trav- el various confusions and complaints have arisen among the student body. Primary among these is the charge that the adminis- tration’s presentation of the problem was far too vague and ambiguous in leaving the final decision entirely up to the in- dividual ’s discretion. But such a charge could be justified only if one considered the Bryn Mawr student as immature and requiring absolute direction about every decisiom she is to make. Such a charge is far more a defense mechanism than a thoughtful complaint. Too many students, suffering from mild attacks of conscience seem to feel that they are justi- fied to go home by the fact that “the college didn’t say we have to stay.” In many cases such a decision to go home would be an evidence of a sane and wise understanding of the problem. For many students the rest and change gained by a vacation is more vital to them than their space on a train is 6 the war effort. The difficulty is that it is all too likely that it is those very students who need the break, and at whom the leniency of the college’s decision. is directed, ‘are the very ones who up. Now, why .should that be? They are inconspicuous, decorative, and add immeasurably to the per- sonality of the room. Also, there is a nice’ satisfaction in having some sign of your passing for fu- ture generations to admire. There is plenty of room around the win- dows. Altogether, we think that the tradition instead of being sup$ pressed, should be encouraged. . Theo Holland 748 derstanding”, Mr..

This is something we’ve been wanting for a long time; but we didn’t have enough. strength behind us. Quite a few girls on campus didn’t even know what modern dance is, and “many of them had a very confused idea of what it is like and what its aims are. This year, however, interest in modern dance has sprung up and has been growing steadily. The dancing in the Freshman Show not only» proved the Freshmen’s leaning toward modern dance, but gained the approval of many up- perclassmen. The dance group in Wyndham has more than tripled ie in size since last year, and has kept up a record of good attend- ance and real enthusiasm. We feel that the interest in modern dance on campus should be given a fair chance to grow and express itself. Right now it is severely handi- ‘capped by the fact that there is ‘only one two-hour class a_ week, and that the class must of neces- sity include’ both ° beginners and advanced. The disadvantages. of this system’ are obvious. Modern dance has long wanted to be rec- ognized on campus and _ treated equally with the other sports. It should have at least three classes a week and be planned.in the reg- ular gym schedule. Now is the time for modern dance to come in- to its own. *; Sincerely, Georgiana Wiebenson WiT?s END Bubble, bubble, mud and. stubble croak I as the crocus crawls!

Employment in a Free Society, is rather an an- omaly, for the free society envis- aged in it is a far cry from tradi- tional laissez-faire conceptions or even the modified views of many advocates of limited government economic policy. Basically it as- “sumes an appreciation of. respon- sibility and a denial of self-interest hitherto undreamed-of in.a demo- cratic society, an assumption whic historical experience may readily question. Unemployment Problems Sir William arrives, by an analy- sis of statistical records of unem- ployment, at a Keynesian view of the problems of modern economic society: there is a fundamental chronic deficiency of demand ac- centuated by the misdirection of industrial demand for labor and by the disorganization of the labor market. To solve this problem he proposes, (1) the planning by the government of sufficient expendi- ture or outlay to eliminate the basic deficiency of demand and to make the labor market “a seller’s market rather than a buyer’s mar- ket;” (2) government direction of industrial location and of private investment, and (3) better organ- ization of the labor market through employment exchanges. The great majority of these government activities are to be handled by a Ministry of National Finance, which will plan public out- lay through publicly owned indus- tries,.government distribution ag- encies and public works so as to provide, with the estimated demand created by private business activ- ity, more jobs than there are men to fill them. Sir William takes manpower as his central economit agent and builds the rest of the “economy in relation to its needs and conditions, while allowing la- bor considerable freedom of move- ment. “ Mobility vs. Rigidity The fundamental question raised by the Beveridge plan is whether the planning authorities can be held or, rather, will remain within the limits prescribed in the theo- retical explanation. They are at- tempting to create stability in a partially rigid, partially flexible society, a difficult_proposition to begin with;‘and it would be a nor- mal human reaction to wish to eliminate any risks bearing on the effectiveness’ of their plan, risks which would be created by a mobile labor supply. By their control of investment, a control which will tend toward rigidity, they will be making stationary the superstruc- ture of society while permitting it to rest on the fluid base of a flex-, ible labor supply. Rather than risk the crash of the whole set-up, it ties will attempt to impose limits on the movement of labor. Even permitting a mobile labor market, the effect of this scheme would be to eliminate practically all movement between the classes, to create a_ stratified society. Those who wish to enter the man- agement of industry cah no longer do so by forming a new company; their only opportunity will be to rise through the ranks of existing management. The limitations on individual initiative of Sir Wil- -liam’s plan-are so-great as tobe intolerable to many; and though the problem of unemployment - must be faced, it is to be hoped : that it can be solved in a manner more compatible with the contin- ued existence of a _— free so- a: Juniors Naminate Bruchholz, Borum, Gilbert, For, Annas Presidency Reed As Candidates _ DOROTHY BRUCHHOLZ Continued from Page 1 of Choir, and was a member of the Varsity Swimming Team.

Social Science Depts Discuss Future Jobs Common Room, February 22. Miss Fairchild, Mrs. Manning, Mr. Wells and Mr. Hubbard dis- cussed the future opportunities for majors in the social sciences at a Vocational Conference presented by the departments of Sociology, History, Politics and Economics. The Vocational_Conferences~_ are sponsored by the Vocational Com- mittee to acquaint students with the scope and future usefulness of the various departments. Miss Fairchild emphasized that there are two aspects of sociology and anthropology, the theoretical and the practical, the former pre- dominating in undergraduate study. Jobs of the theoretical na- ture are available in private and government research agencies. In the field of applied sociology, the social services present wide oppor- tunities for women. Stressing the importance of his- tory in a liberal arts education, Mrs. Manning said that-it is par- ticularly valuable in giving a stud- ent a broad . knowledge of» world problems. This knowledge would be very useful in journalism, busi- ness, and government administra- tion. Politics as a major offers good training for citizenship and par- ticipation in_ political organiza- tions, said Mr. Wells. Politics ma- jors are also well\\ equipped for government service, and many jobs are open to them in this field. In his discussion of Economics as a major, Mr. Hubbard pointed out that undergraduate workin it is largely theoretical, but partic- ularly useful as an ally for ones majors.

World”, at which Bryn Mawr was_repre- sented by Hannah Kaufmann ’45, Kate Marshall ’46, and Dorry Bruchholz ’46.. Our delegates were serit, by the War Alliance. Among the er colleges represented were Smith, Vassar, and Bar- nard. The three sessions were led by the two speakers, Dr. Sigmund Neumann of Wesleyan College and Dr. Friederich Foerster. The con- ference opened Friday evening. , with an address by Dr. Foerster, who stated that Nazism is a com- bination of Prussian militarism and romantic pan-Germanism.. Dr. Neumann then spoke, emphasizing that the German problem must not be oversimplified by looking for a quick panacea. The morning session was devot- ed to two round-table discussions, each led by one of the speakers. The political, economic, and educa- tional phases of the problem were then taken up in turn..

Trusting that the am- nesial owner would return for the fhissing articles, they calmly turn- ed to thoughts of food. Less than a quarter of, an hour later, their intuitions were rewarded when a girl approached them and inquired if there had-been a pack of cigar- ettes on the table.

Malik Defines Goals, Form .Of Undergrad ~ Continued from page 1 vested in. the President and the seven members constituting the *Executive Board. The Board at- tempts to find out how the student body feels about current problems and issues, and what the general reaction is to campus activities. If it is necessary or useful, the vari- ous opinions and criticism are passed on, anonymously of course, to the administration and faculty, pus reaction. The Board also_at-! tempts to pass on suggestions made by Undergraduates, to the person or persons, in whose field the suggestion falls. In a similar way, the administration, faculty and, alumni use the Executive Board to pass on their ideas to the ‘Undergraduate Body. In order to carry out this representative func- tion with the highest efficiency, the Board must have an interest- ed, cooperative studént body who will ‘use it to the fullest extent. The function of the Association as the co-ordinating element in campus activities is more obvious and is easier to define. Undergrad co-ordinates all student activities on campus except those activities included in the more specific fields of the League, the Alliance, and the A. A. The absence of specific limits to its. field of attivity en- ables Undergrad to include within its sphere, the “odds and ends” of campus activity, such as Lantern, Lantern Night procedure and other miscellaneous jobs. The President of the Association is the Chairman of the College Council, and of the Undergraduate Council, emphasiz- ing the unifying character of the Association. The Vice-President and the, First Junior Member ar- range for campus. entertainment, such as dances and movies, and the entertainment of servicemen. on campus. In peacetime the entertainment programme is far more extensive, including assemblies on all topics, and concerts. The Finances of the Association are administered by the Common Treasurer, and are complicated, since Undergrad pays most of the paid student jobs on ‘campus. In this way, jobs which are’ for the convenience of the student body are paid for out of student dues. These jobs include Pay Day Mistress, Hall Announc- ers and Lost and Found. Under~ grad charters all Clubs, and keeps Culture Vulture . Dean Grant was surprised the other day to. receive a mysterious phone call., A strange voice claim- ing that he was from the Evening Bulletin inquired the proper way to addreas.a mixed body. Informed that “Gedlies and gentlemen” was the ammmal procedure, the voice wentvem ‘to argue the merits of “gentfewomen and_ gentlemen”. Hasn’t the Bulletin gone a little ‘Shakespearean, we wonder? Cynical Sideline In an advanced philosophy course last week, one discouraged pro- fessor surveyed. his sleepy ten o’clock class. They were startled awake by a cynical remark, “there is nothing living in this room.” He expostulated further along the same line by declaring that this campus is “charming”, only be- cause there are a few trees left, a check on their activities, making | any unnecessary suggestions. There are three language clubs, French, Spanish, and German, the Glee Club, the Varsity Players Club, the Radio Club, the Science Club, the Stage Guild, and other smaller clubs such as the Art Club, the Camera Club, the Modern Dance Club and the Catholic Club. The Committee Heads are appointed by | the President, with the help of the’ of the Curriculum Committee, who is elected by herncommittee. The Curriculum and Freshman Week committees are perhaps the two most important committees, . But others of almost equal importance are the Cut Committee, headed by the college-elected sophomore member ,of the Executive Board, and the Employment-Bureau which is in charge of student employ- ment. The Vocational Committee, the Point Committee, the Record Library Committee and the Furni- ture Sale Committee are other com- mittees e Undergraduate As- sociation. The Board sees that they | are active, progressive and effic- ient. .Much of the “dirty work” of student- activities is done by the Executive Board. The Point Com- mittee work, which keeps a check on. the number of offices held by any one person, the work of: the Ushering Committee, the keeping of the schedules of college activi- ties, and of undérgraduate - meet- ings, the May Day arrangements are-all typical of the heterogene- ous, routine jobs done by the mem- bers of the Executive Board. The routine jobs of the Execu- tive Board are many and varied, but their most important job is that of filling the sole of Repre- sentative of the remainder of the members of the Undergraduate Association, to the best of their ability. a egies ? | Going shopping —_y. .in the Vill?
