ARDMORE and BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1945 Copyright, Trustees of Bryn Mawr College, 1945 PRICE 10 CENTS Acheson | Trees Bretton Woods Monetary Plans World Conditions Need Immediate Action On Plans “Without the Stabilization Fund, the Bank proposed at Bretton Woods will be a dangerous weap- on,” said the Honorable Dean Ach- eson in a War Alliance: Assembly on Bretton Woods. In a brief but comprehensive review of. the sub- ject, Mr. Acheson outlined both the aims and the mechanics of fhe Bretton Woods plan. Pdralleling the situation today. with that of Europe after the Mo- hammedan invasion, Mr. Acheson stressed the need for immediate financial reconstruction. “The ‘great capitalistic system of import- ing Europe before the war, and iHitler’s system have both been de- “We must eith- er ‘reinstate one of these systems or construct another.” Answering a question as to why the “New York bankers objected to the plan,” Mr. Acheson attribut- ed it first to a disagreement about the technicalities of the system, and second to a minor amount of fear at the acceptance of anything “novel.” The whole speech stressed the reliance of international trade on international agreement and coop- eration, as well as on an equal ability to contribute to world ex- portation and importation. Unless Europe is, given the means with which to rebuild her industrial and agricultural centers, not by Lend- Lease, but by international finan- cial aid, consisting in loans, from the International Bank, Mr. Ache- son asserted, we will necessarily incur serious world financial diffi- culties. Glee Club, Choir Unite Next Year Musical activity for Bryn Mawr next year promises to be more ex- tensive than ever. Principal among the changes to be eff will be the amalgamation of the Glee Club and the Choir into one ‘large or- ganization, newly named the Bryn Mawr College Chorus. The purpose of this new. plan is to have one large, well-trained group which will be able to present concerts and operettas without tak- ing in extra people, as has been necessary in the past. This group is to be divided into two equal choirs which will sing for chapel’ on alternate Sunday nights. Heretofore a college organiza- tion, the Glee Club will ome a part of the Undergraduate Associ- ation. The fund, previously grant- ed to pay. the members, will be used instead for traveling expenses incurrred at concert trips. In ad- dition to the customary ‘concerts with Harvard and Princeton tlie Glee Club hopes to make a musical debut in New York. At the beginning of the year a larger number of students will be accepted.in the Glee Club than will be necessary, but after a pro- bationary period of about a-month the number will be pared down to approximately eighty. hSleeping Beauty Named as Best Of Dance Cycle Specially contributed by Helen Wade 42 The Dance Club’s performance of Sleeping Beauty on Friday night constituted the second production «lof that play by the organization. The only essential difference from the 1941 production lay in the ad- dition of the ‘third act Roses and their dance with the Princes. This fairy tale “ballet” seems to me the most delightful of the club’s cycle of four largely because it follows the story so closely and makes no attempt to pad it out with inciden- tal dances, It is exceedingly dangerous to try to support a large production on the.gossamer fabric of a fairy story when the dancers have only. the necessarily uneven technique of an amateur group. The first act of Sleeping Beauty sustains the spirit and pace best, despite a noticeable sag that came with the entrance of the court. The chorus, which was at times undis- eiplined, was free to move without destroying the light mood, and the solos of the principals. were brief and effective. The second act gave the Princess, Louise Kendall ’46, the difficult task of simultaneously successfully, although the lighting for her solo was in constant con- flict with the dance. The third act picked up the pace at the entry of the Princes and moved along swift- ly to the close, marred only by the Lnoises of some recording which was unidentifiable at close range. It is unfortunate that this’ type of dancing demands the experience and maturity of a life-time in or- der to be presented as it should be. However, the cast did exceptionally well: and several of the more ad- vanced dancers. were outstanding for the degree of technique and stage presence which they brought to their parts. These dancers were, in order of appearance, Nina Mont- gomery ’45, as the Head Servant; Eleanor Borden ’46, as the King; and Kathryn Weiss‘as the First Good Fairy. The production had the inestimable advantage of Miss Petts’ direction and Mr. Schu- mann’s charming and danceable music, the latter played by the composer himself on the stage. Ursinus Defeats B. M. Team 4-3 Bryn Mawr, May 9. Leading in the third inning, tied in_the sixth, the Owl baseball te lost by one run, 4-3, in Ganited kotry to an undefeated Ursinus team. Sus- pense, full cooperation of all the|* members of the team and consec- utive good playing, characterjzed the game throughout. ‘Stars of the team were Bailey ’48, who as pitcher, threw~her us- ual fast, accurate ball, and Kent 45. who, although she played far off first base, did not let one.-ball get past her. The final run in, the end of the. eighth imning © which gave the game to Ursinus seemed all the more unfortunate because it was made on B.

Feeling that such a survey might be of general in- terest, she has announced the fol- lowing statistics: In comparison. with last semes- ter, the number of overnight ab- sences through April this semester last semester. The number of ab- sences outside of the Philadelphia }area were less than one-half of what they were last semester, while the number of absences out- side of the Philadelphia, New York and. Washington areas were one- quarter less than last semester. “ These figures were calculated on the basis of a sample composed of two-thirds’ of all absences taken in the two semesters.

In the first set, Gresham gained the lead 2-1, but Evans took the next four games before’ Gresham broke the run to win the eighth game. Evans re- taliated to take the last game and set. The second set was a tie, 4-4, until Evans, gaining control of her ground strokes, won the last two games. C. Walker ’45, J. Turner ’45, P. Turner 46, A. Nelms ’46, J. Ach- eson °46, E.

A reporter sent to ask Mrs. Bowman the Inn’s reason for this action at the same time ob- which the Inn is facing in continu- ing to operate under present condi- tions. ® Cigarettes Last Wednesday the Inn left only the cigarette machine in the front room open to people buying cigarettes in the morning. More cigarettes were held in reserve for patrons who usually come at lunch- time. The reason for this action was that many people who never eat at the Inn come to buy cigarettes, leaving none for the faculty and students going there to eat lunch later in the day. The Inn realizes its mistake in-this attempt to sat- isfy its patrons and in the future, plan to sell all their cigarettes im- mediately as they have done in the past. In answer to the other criticisms, the following reasons for poor service and high prices may be cited. Help Within the past two years a new labor code for restaurant employ- ees has been enforced, which has so reduced the hours they are to work that even with the same number of employees, service has to be curtailed. It is more difficult for the Inn to secure help bec of its inacces- sibility requiring workers to spend much more time and money to reach their place of employment | so that the Inn has been short of | help to a much greater extent than places not so situated. Inereased wages (dishwashers now’ receive more than cooks: did a few years , ago) for shorter hours has very much increased the expenses. Prices Moreover, increased food costs have added to the Inn’s food costs. Shorter hours and a lack of em- ployees have required the Inn to shorten their hours. and. this in turn has decreased the volume of business so that the overhead is not always covered by the income from the food sold. Added to the cost of food served is not only the wages. paid to em- ployees, but such items as the fol- lowing must be paid to operate: rent, light, gas, replacement of broken dishes, redecorating, clean- ing supplies, painting, replacement of equipment, such ‘as ranges, dish- washers, refrigerators, urns, etc., paper and linen supplies, water and sewer rent, and taxes. Hours At present there is less than one hour between breakfast ‘and lunch, Mass Meeting V . ive Resolutions to Congress tained a statement of the problems ? otes to Send President Will Receive Resolution Asking Food Actipn _, Common Room, May 14. Approx- imately 110 people attended the ‘mass meeting held to draw up res- olutions proposing concrete action on the food shortage in Europe, the Bretton Woods plan, and the Dum- barton Oaks proposals. This meet- ing, presided over by Helin Reed -|’46,. was the final stage of a pro- gram which has been carried,..on for-the past three weeks by the War Alliance to make the students and faculty aware of the import- ance of these issues. Five resolu- tions to be sent to Washington mously passed. _ The first resolution was stated by Marge Richardson ’46. States government to alleviate the European food shortage. To do this, we advocate more stringent rationing, and that the assignment of the maximum number of ships be released for its transportation.” Pat Acheson ’46, suggested that a clause be included to inform Con- gress that we would approve pros- ecution against the black markets which will undoubtedly appear if more stringent rationing is impos- ed. ,After some discussion the first resolution was passed as it stood, and a second resolution, proposed by Barbara Stix ’47, was passed which read: “Because of the black market situation we are in favor of giving the OPA more power and ‘more funds to carry out its pro- gram.” Both these resolutions are to be sent immediately to Senators Guffey and Meyers of Pennsyl- vania and a copy of the first is also to be sent to President Truman. The resolution on _ Bretton Woods, proposed by B. A. Mercer 45, read: ‘We propose that Con- gress pass immediately. the Bret- ton Woods agreements for both the International Bank and the Stabil- ization Fund in their entirety and as they now stand.” After a brief discussion in which several of the arguments which the Hon. Dean Acheson stated last Friday in fa- vor of Bretton Woods: were re- iterated, this resolution was also passed. ; Pat Behrens ’46, proposed. the following resolution: that when the representatives of the 49 nations at San Francisco are able to draw up a World Se- the American delegation that Con- gress pass it without amendment.” Dr. until a more appropriate time to send: this resolution to the Con- gresmen, since it is doubtful that it would receive much attention before the plan is actually drafted. For this reason those present at the meeting pledged themselves to send individtal letters to their re- spective congressmen now, and Helin Reed ’46, and Anne Borum "46, were empowered to send the original resolution, revised if nec- essary, to Senators Guffey and Meyers, and to the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit- tee at the proper time.’ Mrs. Manning proposed a fifth resolution “that .Congress should extend the reciprocal trade trea- ties as we believe their rejection Continued on Page 2 were proposed afd all were unani- © : “We _| propose that positive and immedi- . ate action be taken by the United “We propose | curity Organization acceptable to , Wells suggested that we wait. would have an unfortunate effect ~~ on the world economic situation.” _ v a Ai Page Four THE COLLEGE NEWS u Hail to Thee, Blithe Bird, Bird, Bird; Bird!

Versatile Owls Pile’ Up Fouls Shipley Lower School Triumphs 100-1 by Ytsud Ttayh ’74 Bettws-y-Coed, May 12. Play- ing on the hottest day of an early ‘spring, and cheered on by a crowd, roughly estimated at seven hun- dred, the dauntless Bryn Mawr varsity hockey team went down, down to a 100-1 de-feet at the - hands of Shipley Lower School. Playing a fast ingenious game, characterized by smooth technique, expert coordination, and tricky tactics, the Owls fought furiously for every inch of the field and never gave up until the second quarter. oe In the first quarter the Owl team wandered up and down the field in a valiant attempt to get the ball away from their own star center, Cleo Foote Tripper, who caught it between her feet, fell and obscured the ball for some ten minutes of play. Staging a spectacular comeback, Captain Lima Gizzord smashed the ball triumphantly into enemy ter- ritory and bore down the field, only slightly hampered by the Shipley goal guard who contrived a clear getaway between Captain Gizzord’s nether members. But fullback Pen- ny Piles, backbone of the back- field, picked up the ball, swallowed it, and rolled into the goal, settling the score at 65-1.

The revived interest in Current Events last year was but a passive element; the student-faculty pro- gram this year is a further development of this new spirit with direct campus participation in affairs of national con- cern. The resolutions adopted by this cooperative meeting of Students and faculty are.the embodiment of a liberal foreign policy for post-war America. The demand for food action is indicative of liberal America’s determination to help in re- building a war-ravaged Europe physically, economically and politically, arfd finally, the: most important of all, mentally. The adoption of a resolution favoring the Dumbarton Oaks proposal lays the basis for further American participation in active international cooperation. - On the economic side of the post-war program are the resolutions favoring the immediate adoption of the Bretton Woods proposals and the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Bill. . Both these measures aim at American participation in inter- national economic affairs to achieve more stable economic re- lations between the nations of the world. Finally, the resolution recommending aid to the OPA in suppressing the black market at home is a further assurance of student concern about American conditions and of their desire to participate in community and national affairs. Campus Elections Several enterprising Freshmen have again raised the is- sue. of the present college electoral system in a letter to the -News this week. Although it is not the time of year when elections are being held, it seems an important enough ques- tion to think about.now in order that positive action may be taken next year. ae The statement made in the letter that the same girls are continually put up for offices is true. It does not seem right that some students, often well-suited for a position, are over- looked, either because they are not known by many people or because their class is too lazy to find out which of its mem- bers is really capable of doing what job. To vote for a name or for someone whose face is vaguely familiar is not neces- sarily the wisest way to choose class leaders. A rough system of points has been suggested with the}. stipulation that during Freshman and Sophomore years not more than certain number may be accumulated by any one -girl.: This is a good idea in that it would force a class to dis- tribute the limited\number of offices more widely. This year, steps have been taken in the right direction by the Self-Government and Undergraduate Boards in the | amendments that there should be rotating Freshman mem- bers selected to the respective boards: This is thé beginning of a better System, but what is more important, individual in- itiative in putting up the best person,—and in sia for whom you vote, has still to come. & Oné a |Point System Proposed To Put ‘New Blood’ In Elections ~~ To the Editor: ’ It seems strange that. in a college such as-Bryn Mawr, dedicated in a sense to the importance of the in- dividual and his potential partici- pation in group work, an uninten- tional autocracy exists. We do not think we are exaggerating when we say that a pitiful percentage of any class actually holds executive positions in the various college or- ganizations. The fault here is not in the college, but in ourselves, for we are certainly underlings who re-elect the same girls over, and over again to the college boards. We think it is a disturbing and wrong situation and demands im- mediate attention. We have never doubted the abil- ity of. those few who have held many positions and continue to do so. We think it is a good idea that the first two chairmen of a new Freshman class are appointed and thereby recommended by the col- lege to the class. But we think that there afte more than a few with the abilities required, who never get a chance to prove them- selves to the-.class or the college. The few originally chosen by the college and then by the class, plus perhaps five more, govern the class not only in its Freshman year but in its Sophomore, Junior, and Sen- ior years, and very little new blood is introduced. é Provincial Voting ft is only natural'to be reluctant to entrust a stranger with respon- sibilities, particularly When a new class is composed of so many strangers. There is a strong ten- dency to re-elect those girls whom we know at least by sight and name, and upon whom we can rely. It_is always easier to cling to the familiar, but it is not always right. We therefore urge that a system, such as the one suggested below, should be put into effect, and, in addition, pressure brought to bear upon the Fresh- man and Sophomere classes so as to make them fully aware of the necessity to give opportunity to as many girls as possible. We do not think that our feel- ings are singular in this matter; a poll would prove their commonness. ‘Students already ‘in offices’ must understand that ‘this is no chal- think that they will agree with us that something should -be done about the situation. It is high time that Bryn Mawr stopped being pro- vincial with its voting by halls and habits. -Rearranged Point System There should be no more than a certain number of points (15) in ‘the first two years—Freshman and Sophomore classes. Freshman: President of Class 1 Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer (Member to Undergrad. Assoc. Member to Self-Gov’t Assoc. Alliance Rep. Sophomore: President of Class 12 Vice-President and Treasurer 5 Secretary 5 First Member to Undergrad 10 Second Member to Undergrad 5 This point system is only a rough | sketch, and can be changed or ad- justed to the present college point system. Volunteer offices and ath- letic offices would be excluded.

When the cigar- ettes came in this morning count- less students were turned away with the excuse that the cigarettes were being saved for their regular customers. Surely out of all the inhabitants of Bryn Mawr, none are more regular in patronizing the Inn than the college students. Therefore it seems to us that we should be considered first, or that the least the management could do would be to observe the maxim, “first come, first served” and let patrons struggle with the rest of us. We may be over-stepping our place, but we feel that the Inn should be admonished that with a few more actions like the above, coupled with poor service and ex- travagant prices (15 cents for a pot of hot water and a tea ball; 8 cents for a sticky bun, two cents added for a slight warnring), they may soon find themselves boycot- ted by the student body at large. Then let these patrons, whoever they are, support them in our place, and see if they make out as well. Signed: Cynthia Hartung ’48, Virginia Johnson ’47, E.

B M Rationing Board Thanks Volunteers For Work To the Editor of the College News: The Bryn Mawr War Price and Rationing Board wishes to express its sincere ‘thanks to. the Bryn Mawr College volunteer assistants. The group of student volunteers was captained by Alison Barbour, and included Elizabeth Bready, Anna-Stina Ericson, Marion. Hol- landj Nan Peiker, Phyllis Ripley, Cecilia Rosenblum, Sybil Ullman, Barbara Young, and Barbara Zieg- ler. Some gave more hours than oth- ers, but collectively and individual- ly they were dependable and their willingness to do even the dullest, most mechanical work deserves high praise. The Board has asked me to say that their help was very much appreciated. ‘Martha M.

Regional Agreements Miss Robbins pointed out that there had apparently been consid- erable controversy within’ the American delegation between Van- denberg and Stassen on the rela- tive importance of the regional agreements within the world-wide peace structure. Since committee proceedings are secret, this con- troversy has not been publicized to any great extent. The problem is, however, extraordinarily difficult to solve in view of the intricate na- tional interests involved. and be-. cause it opens such a wide field for |) bargaining between nations. Procedure ‘The second important issue deals with the nature of the organization and its operating procedure. The Russians, said Miss Robbiis, wish to settle the structure and working procedure now without permitting any alterations in the future. How- ever, the proposal that a 2/3 vote of the assembly —be— sufficient” to amend the security organization would “indicate opposition to the Russian point of view. Miss Rob- bins feels, however, that changes in the original Dumbarton Oaks proposals will be largely the intro- duction of principles rather than technical changes in procedure. Trusteeship Problem -Mrs. Manning discussed the | trusteeship question, pointing out that any trusteeship arrangements which include the mandates of the last war would depend largely upon the cooperation of England and France. The disagreement between the United States’and Britain cen- ters chiefly on the American pro- posal to allow some international supervision of the government of non-strategic areas. The British prefer more freedom for the trus- tee nation. Mrs. Manning also painted out that the voting arrangements in the General Assembly ‘are not very democratic since the American group has a larger vote than its proportional strength. She advo- cated weighting the votes of each nation .according to its importance in world affairs. Inn Answers Critics By Stating Problems Continuea trom Page 1 and between tea and dinner for the lowing: clear. tables, wipe off chairs and tables, sweep floors, set up tables for the next meal, fill the water pitchers, jam dishes, etc., eat a meal. All this must be done by the same waitresses because there is no relief shift, due to the shortage of help. Food The food shortage is so acute that the Inn has been able to keep on supplying a fair variety of foods because the manager has put in long hours shopping at every possible source of food and using her own car to bring the food to the Inn. Otherwise prices’ would be even higher because the volume would drop ‘even more due to an inability to serve people because of not having food. ~ “For those who are unaware of conditions prevailing today,” said Mrs. Bowman,- “I would suggest that they do some investigating: the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel,. in the center of Philadelphia, consid- ered one of our best hotels, does not have a single dining room open on Sunday.
