In other words, students have had to ask a Library assistant to find and bring them the Reserve books and cannot enter the room themselves. The reason for this rather drastic and perhaps arbitrary step depends first in the fact that forty books are now missing, AWOL, from the Reserve G Room. Secondly, statistics from past years show that - the heaviest use of the Reserve Room is during the two weeks just before exams. Therefore in order to make sure that students can find the books they need when they need them, the Closed Reserve System-has~been: instigated in spite of a great deal of additional.trouble and expense to the Library. Both the Library Staff and the Library Council, how- ever, feel that a Closed ‘Reserve is degrading to the integ- rity of Bryn Mawr students, and therefore is a matter of ) universal concern. When the carelessness and irresponsibility of a small minority lead to the curtailment of rights for the ' whole group, it is time that the student body take a strong stand on the issue. su For this reason, the Library Council -will pass. out. a questionnaire to find out exactly what student opinion is on the subject of the Library. The recurrent problems of Open versus Closed Reserve, and of several much-violated library «regulations will be presented, also the possibility of some definite type of honor system for the library will be set | ing on a revised tax code, the first Ja period of five years after the ~ Current Events Republicans’ Tax Code Favors Business, Says Hubbard The coming depression will be more serious than that of 1948-’49, said Mr. Hubbard, speaking Tues- day, the 11th, on “Prospects For A Balanced Budget”, but it will not approximate that of the 1930’s. He went on to say that this de- | pression will be due partly to he! Administration’s. policy-which fav- ors a balanced budget. .A Treas- ury committee is at present: work- time that the tax laws of this country have had a going over since the 19th century. | The committee is proposing leg- islation which will probably result in a greater budget deficit and at the same time be favorable to busi- ness. It will effect,this by two main methods. ; -The “first. dispensation to “busi- ness, will allow a company to de- duct two-thirds of the cost of cap ital goods from its income tax, for money for the capital goods has been laid out. “Capital goods” in- cludes such items as new machin- ery, etc. Personal income taxes may also be lowered at the recommendation of the committee. This reduction would affect those personal in- comes which are dependent com- pany stocks) which. are, in turn, dependent on company profits. Un- der the present system a corpora- tion’s profits will be taxed directly by the government. These profits, after taxes, are distributed to stockholders, and are again sub- ject to tax as personal income. Some of Mr. Ejisenhower’s ad- visers recommend a policy of na- tional spending which would run over the debt limit of 275 billion dollars. They feel that the more we balance the budget, the worse the depression is-apt to be. This is because government spending, one of our economy’s. supports, will be cut down. The debt limit is not likely to be raised, but Mr. Hubbard feels that the debt limit should be, set in relation to the national income. He says the national income was considerably lower when the limit was set than it is at present, and a higher national -inco mean a higher .debt limit. Mr. Hubbard does not believe that this depression will be as serious as that of the 1930’s, part- ly because the Republicans have learned that to. stay in office and to avoid being blamed for the de- pression they must take steps to alleviate economic conditions.

The Library Council hopes that every student will take the trouble to consider these questions seriously, because it is only by the concerted force of student opinion and res- ponsibility that they canbe permanently solved. | \ es ‘Student Library Council Alumnae Assist College Through Loan Funds Continued from Page 1 | by the Alumnae Association and the other by a gift from Mfrs.

However, I think that the re- viewer must realize that she has a responsibility to her paper, her readers;-and the people connected with the pfoduction in question.. 1 refer, specifically, to the review that. appeared in the December ninth issue of the College News. My main objection to the review of “The Little Foxes” is that al- most one half of it is devoted to heaping praise on the set, the props, and the make-up. This, in my opinion, is sheer nonsense. A well-written__review comments on the technical aspects of a produc- tion, as to their effectiveness and excellence, but the reviewer should not make this her major consider- ation, in evaluating the play It seems unnecessary for me to attempt to untangle this review and criticise its every phrase, A great deal of time and effort was put into this production by many people, as is the case in every College Theatre production, and it seems a shame that a critical eval- uation of the production should be so lacking in depth of any sort. When the reviewer finally puts aside her discussion of make-up, props, and set and gets around to the character portrayals, she dis-' misses two of the major characters with but. a few words of inade- quate praise. This réview seems to lack any understanding of the basic tech- nique and purpose of theatrical re- views and it seems to me that if the College News is to continue its policy of reviewing almost all of the dramatic_productions at Haverford and ‘Bryn Mawr, it should think rather seriously about the problem of getting qualified and competent people to do that reviewing, Sincerely, : Rodney H.

Right in the midst of the cheerful caroling and carousing of Christmas week, they managed to create half an hour of real joy and peace. One-act plays ought to be given more often around here. They are travelers of the glory and power of the gods and the kings. The dead were not buried, as this would corrupt the earth; but they were left on the tops of high towers. Color was used: extensively and effectively during the third period of Persian cultural development i.e. from 700 A.D. on.

The acting was also strong-colored. Each‘ character, whether miser, soldier, slut, grumbler or thief, ‘was clearly and quickly defined. All-except for Elsie.

Their purpose,..says Miss deLa- guna, is to “continue there the pro- gram of combining archeological, ethnological and _ historical re- search that I began in 1949 among the Northern Tlingit.” Miss deLaguna is_ especially looking forward to this expedition since she has never spent the win- ter among the Tlingit.

In tracing “beyond the .triumph- ant landmark of the first printed book”, Miss Meigs uses’ the era of ‘the creation of the old cottage tales as a starting point.. The more am- bitious poetic “narratives ‘ecited with harp accompaniment in castle and court were of the same period. The Celtic fairytale was an entity ‘in itself and ‘the: realm of the pixie and the elf was to be explor- ed in charming detail by all Eng- lish-speaking peoples.

The advent of the hero in Eng- lish literature occurred slightly after the Conquest. and many others, helped to perpet- uate the hero legend, and ‘the in- troduction of the romance of the Middle Ages ‘provided the public with the adventures of “Guy of Warwick”, epitome of the English hero.

The con- cert was held in the Common Room at Haverford College on Sunday, January 10 at eight thirty. “Before a concert he would play Bach for hours to get in, the mood to play,” she continued. Miss Jam- bor added that the work of both “needs playing with equal preci- sion,” and hinted at the similarity in her interpretation of both when she said, “I don’t belong to the historical school of playing Bach. Modern instruments make- the music more beautiful.’ We should not go back.” Her first selection, Bach’s Chiro- matic Fantasy and Fugue was brilliant with variation and grada- tion in tone. The second, Varia- tions in Italian Style was more what: is expected of Bach. Here careful exposition of the themes was the center 6f interest. The Tocatta in D Major which: followed was like the Fugue in its similar- ity to Chopin. When the enthusiastic audience continued to applaud during what was intended for the intermission, Miss Jambor played some unsched- uled pieces including a Bach in- vention,- and ‘then continued with the program.

Stressing the advantages of travelling abroad with an organized group, Mrs. Margaret McVeagh, representing Cooks’ Tours, talked about the various methods through which this may be done, Some tourists pay for all serv- ices ahead of time and are guided by ‘an escort. Others may travel independently, paying in advance tor hotel rooms and some sight- seeing, but not for meals and escort, Mrs. McVeagh noted that ship- ping space. for this summer is at a premium and° that the Holland- American line: offers student rates, which are lower than those for vourists. Mary Winslow spoke of the mer- its of completely -.independent travel. Since-her decision to) go avioad last summer was a sudden one, Mary secured advance reser- vations for only the first three days, but found little dimioulty in getting them later. Mary felt that an excellent method of seeing a country at one’s own speed is to rent a car; this can be done at surprisingly a short tour if one wishes, as Mary did in London.

With a lack of demand forscap- ital goods and services, and a lack, of capital, which helps to cause this lack of demand, it is difficult for her to ‘begin to grow econom- ically. Despite this, Mexico js in the process of developing. How she is trying to improve her conditions, as-well-as the result of her~—at- tempt, was: the problem Miss Nor- throp discussed. Basically, Mexico has three vital necessities: One of these is the development of:an educational sys- tem. “Agricultural-education is. not enough; more than that must. be provided in order for the Mexicans to be able to develop their indus- tries and to keep them in, native hands. Industrialization ‘ Credit. facilities must be. creat- ed, although, says Miss Northrop, that is not being planned or work-. ed on for the immediate future To develop any country good roads and transportation are need- ed to make available market facil- ities. In Mexico many communi- ties are isolated and untouched iby twentieth © century “givilization. Wherever roads have been built an immediate cKange takes place and advancement begins. ‘ Attempts: to fulfill these needs and improve the _situation- have naturally been: made. Despite the above problems, industrialization has been improving since the ’30s. Textiles, which was the first real industry in Mexico, was developed during this period along with many other types of manufacturing. World War II created a demand that these industries could not ac commodate because of their lack of facilities and capital goods. Since. the war new plants have|° been built up. Much of this is due to direct ‘investment “‘from- foreign|’ owned corporations. Such Ameri- can companies as General Electric, Sears-Roebuck, and, the ever pres ent Coca-Cola are tobe seen all over Mexico. This country has had its agricul- tural revolution and land reform. The revolution, (1910 to 1920) cre- ated an unstable government until the mid-thirties when Cardinez came into power and parcelled out big land holdings to the peasants. Aims and Effects - The aim of all this development is to raise the standard of living of the people.
