Cummings, the man who Recipe For Murder Given In ‘Arsenic’ Looking back on the flicks that absorbed us on those multitudinous Saturday afternoons, Arsenic and Old Lace stands out. Probably we retain a rather distorted memory | of it, but we now have a chance to iefresh our memories. Haverford and Bryn Mawr are giving us this chance by putting | on the stage play of Arsenic and | lems: Old Lace, November 5 and 6 at Roberts Hall. Here is your oppor- invented the wheel mine, read ex-|)tunity to relive the pleasures of cerpts from his prose and poetry | . to an audience of over 500 Friday night in the University of Pennsyl- | vania Museum. The Philadelphia Fine Arts Cen- | tery presented Mr. Cummings as a’ poet who “balances himself on a tight rope 80 feet in the air, stacks | three chairs on the rope, one atop the other, props himself on the third ¢hair and commences to swing.” Mr. Cummings, who was visibly amused by the introduction, im- mediately proceeded to live up to it. (His forceful personality added immeasurably to the meaning and beauty of everything he’ read. His voice captivated the audi- ence. Not a sound interrupted the mellifluous flow of his words in the more serious pieces, and laughter punctuated the humorous exam- ples of his work. ; Rhythm and Tone The expréssion of Mr. Cum- mings’ voice undoubtedly aided in- terpretation by making the tone and rhythm of every: line clear. In. fact-the-rhythm-of his-poetry made. such an impression on the audience that many people left the hall repeating the lines to them- selves as one would leave the theatre humming the hit tunes of a musical production. For the first part of the pro- gram Mr. Cummings read selec- tions from his morality play Santa Claus. Following intermission, he Continued on Page 5, Col. 3 your chil@hood.

Everyone needs an insight into the world. of kindly crime and the people who led the charge at San Juan Hill. Be- sides all this, Arsenic and Old Lace will give you excellent instruction in body disposal and how to bring on a fatal case of yellow fever with arsenic. There have been minor adversi- ties in. the production of Arsenic and Old Lace, like weekend re- hearsals. But these have been off- set by the new set of flats that have been painted for Haverford. To be sure these flats have to be made by the hard labor of the com- bined college stage crews, but it is better than having to cart Bryn Mawr flats to Haverford. every time they want to have a play there. Bryn Mawr also has been put on a 20¢ dinner allowance everytime the stage crew has to eat at Haverford, since the can- vas for the flats cost $100 and ex- penses have to be kept down. Whether’ you saw the flick of Arsenic and Old Lace armed with a box of greasy pop-corn and some cherry lollipops or played Jona- than in your high school presenta- tion of it, it is still funny enough to see again, preferably Novem- ber 5 or 6. Parties Feature Feasting And Festivities As Bryn Mawrters Celebrate Hallowe’ en Physicists and biologists, chem- ists and geologists, psychologists and mathematicians formed a very homogeneous mixture Thursday, Oct. 28, in Applebee Barn. The oc- casion was: the Science Club Hal- lowe’eh party. The first game in which every- one participated was a type of sci- entific treasure hunt. The object was to walk around the room and jot down the name of any scien- tific object in sight. Mr. Berry took the prize with twenty-three correct answers. Names Unscrambelled The group was then divided into four. sections to..play _charades. Group three won, with its presen- tation .of “photosynthesis.” Other subjects were “funtion,” “force” and “variable.” “ The final game was an attempt - to unscramble men’s names. Here ngain Mr. Berry proved his skill, as he was in the section of four which won. The word which gave | n the most trouble. was satgelt—Gest- alt. Evidently there weren’t many psychologists present. — Refreshments. were served and. place, roasting marshmallows = ‘popping corn. _ Witches and ghosts were the or- der of the day as Rhoads threw gpen its doors to students, the fac- ulty and their children, Wednesday afternoon, October 27. The occa- sion was the annual Hallowe’en party. The orange and black decorated room was filled with numerous games in which everyone -was ac- tively participating. One could see her favorite professor engaged in almost any pursuit from pinning the hat on the witch or ducking for apples, to having his fortune told by the ghastly green-haired Mad- ame Megaera in the corner. Refreshments _ After being treated to cider, doughnuts, cookies and apples, ev- eryone settled down to be enter- tained by the Rhoads seniots with a skit concerning the plight of some Hallowe’en ghosts who could- n’t decide where to haunt this year. The festivities over, each child went home clutching a bright yarn animal and any other bits of para- ee ee phernalia he might have collected the party was concluded with in- formal singing around the fire-' during the afternoon. J. Sloane Explains LinkOf Art, Religion Art Lecture Room, Nov. 2, 5 p.m. “Art and religion are historically very, very close to each other,” said Dr. Joseph Sloane in his lec- ture, Art and Religion, given un- der the auspices of the Chapel Committee. The artist, im painting Christian subjects, faces two serious prob- idolatry, which may result from worshipping the artist’s work instead of treating it as a repre- sentation, and the vast difficulty of representing the unseen and un- known in Christianity. The artist’s realization of the rst problem was illustrated by ped over, about to fall, and holding a small statue. “The Annunciation,” by Jan Van Eyck, was shown as a solution to the latter problem. Here one of the great mysteries of Christianity is set forth in completely tangible terms. The angel is dressed in a rich robe and a shaft of light de- scends through the cathedral win- dow to strike the Vi¥gin’s head as the dove, symbol. of the Holy Spir- it, glides down with it. Probably the greatest difficulty which faces the Christian artist is the portrayal of Christ. shen Raphael’s “School of Athens’ e compasses the complicated idea of the Trinity, Rembrandt, was ‘un- able to represent Christ the Man with any meaning. A 13th century “Crucifixion,” by Giunto Pisano, reduces Christ to a formula of un- realistic, abstract parts, but it suc- ceeds in carrying out its emotional Continued on Page 6, Col. 3 CALENDAR Wednesday, November 3 7:30 p.m. Marriage Lecture.

Robert Frost Gives PoetryReading Sat. “All poetry is the reproduction of tones of actual speech.” That is how Robert Frost, Pulitzer Prize winning poet, describes not only all poetry, but what “I have been after consciously and oan cepts from the first.” Mr. Frost will read his yeueg hart auditorium. Sponsored hy the Friends of the Library this lecture is free to members of the student body, faculty, and staff of the col- lege. To others admission is two dollars, A Californian by birth, Mr. Frost has become known as the voice in poetry which speaks for New Eng- land. He now divides his time be- tween teaching and his Vermont farm, where he writes. The poet has been writing sihce high school days. All his publish- ed poems “maintain a consistency of style.’ Among his better known works from the book, North of Boston, are “The Death of the Hir- ed Man,” “Mending Wall” and “Fire and Ice.” AA Gives ‘Squares’ Fun, Tho’ Few Men especially contributed by Elizabeth Thomas,.’57 On Friday evening the gym was the scene of much gaiety, as every- one forsook her Greek philosophers or what-have-you and was caught in the swing of the A.A. square dance, In the course of the evening we whirled through dances ranging from the Texas Star to the Grape- vine Swing. Even the beginners soon became adept under the guid- ance of Peter Gardiner, ably as- sisted by Ann Shocket, Hank Dane, Harrison Raper and Steve Sieverta. Unfortunately, there was a slight shortage of men; so that a number of Bryn Mawrtyrs could not dance. They were able to drown their sorrows in cider and doughnuts, however. These re- freshments, plus all other arrange- ments, had been very efficiently ar- ranged by Marjorie Milbank. - it Zernike Relates Theories Behind His Innovation Microscope Aids Study. | Saturday night, Nov. 13, in Good-| , Of Live Specimens In Biology “Through the extension of hu- man senses it (physics) has made powerful tools available to the oth- er. sciences,” said Mr. Michels when he introduced Fritz Zernike at a lecture sponsored by the Com- mittee on the Coordination of the Sciences, on Nov. 1, in Goodhart. Mr. Zernike was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his de- velopment of the phase contrast microscope. ‘With this microscope, the transparent areas in living or- ganisms can be studied for the first time. Mr. Zernike began by tracing the basic principles leading to his invention. In 1801, Young intro- duced the principle of interference and this idea, that light waves can reinforce or eliminate each other, was tested by Fresnel and Arago. Waves which have traveled un- equal distances are likely to be out of phase (differ in the location of their maximum and minimum points). The shadow of a disk has a circle of light in the middle be- cause waves which meet there are in phase and reinforce each other. In _an—ordinary microseope, the light comes through a circular op- ening, and goes through the slide where some of it is diffracted by the object. The opening, or iris, is focused by the objective at a point closer to the lens than the image of the object. This system will show the object against a light ‘background. By blocking the light at the im- age point of the iris (as im the, ex- periment where Mr. Zernike plac- ed a dot of ink on his low power objective) the ordinary microscope can give a light image on a dark background. Neither method gives a clear picture of transparent Continued on Page 6, Col. 5 Alliance Presents Two Day Conference | On Communist Powers In The Cold War In view of the fact that most people consider the Communist countries as having the same form of government, that of totalitarian rules, Alliance is sponsoring a two day conference on “The Three Ma- jor Communist Powers in the Cold War.” ‘The differences between the forms: of government in the three outstanding Communist coun- tries of the world, - Yugoslavia, Russia, and China, will be discuss- ed, as well as their similarities. The conference form of presenta- tion will give’everyone an oppor- tunity to discuss the lectures in the discussion period, and give Bryn Mawr students an opportunity to interchange ideas with students of other colleges. Students and fac- ulty of all neighboring colleges have been invited to attend the conference both days. On Wednesday evening, Novem- ber 10, at 8:30 p.m., Dr. Adam Ulam, Professor of Government at Harvard University, will speak’ on “Yugoslavia’s Position in the World Today.” Dr. Ulam is also the current director of the Soviet Regional Studies Program at Har- vard, and published a book on Yugoslavia, Tito and the Comin- form, in 1953, Dr. Alex Inkeles, Professor of Sociology at Harvard University, will speak Thursday, November 11, at 12:30 p.m., on “Main Features | of the Soviet Social System’ Dr. Inkeles served as the Social Sci- ence Research Analyst in the Divi- sion of USSR Intelligence, Office of Strategic Service, from 1942 to 1945, and acted as consultant to both the State Department and UNESCO. His most recent book is Public Opinion in Soviet Russia; At present, in addition to his work at Harvard, he is the director of the research project on the Soviet - ; social system.

Their reluctant reviewer, although saved from the ordeal ons Friday night because “Hazel hampered the hams,” was forced on Saturday to wit- ness “the inevitable Junior Show.” inevitable Haverford review, of which we, too, are quite tired. It’s not that we want to find fault with the body of the review, which for the most part was fair and interesting; in. a few instances there even appeared to be some signs of ap- proval on the part of the critic. This should have been avoid- ed, but with “Odd ’N Even,” perhaps it, too, was inevitable. We did note with interest this statement: “In these Jun- ior Shows the girls are naturally enough interested in cap- turing the attention and sympathies of their. audience and their procedure in attempting to captivate the male segment follows a time-honored, if blunt, formula. That is, if I may . . Whether or not it is so im- portant in securing the affection of an audience is debatable, but the girls seem to think so, and that is where the kick chorus comes in, as it inevitably does.”’ with other qualities, This puritanical viewpoint doesn’t disturb us, for we doubt whether any Bryn Mawr gir] objects to being thought sexy. And it has long been known that sex, when combined received much acclaim. ; Principally, we are rather tired of the superior air which "is present in all Haverford reviews of Bryn Mawr class pro- ductions. We don’t claim to be professionals—except maybe in comparison with Haverford Class Night. But any show _ even at Bryn Mawr, is entitled to a critic, even from Haver- ford, with an open mind. The next time Haverford sends a. reviewer, we wish he would come with the intention of look- ing et instead of looking down.

CAREY RIDES AGAIN. to the effect, stated proudly: Lantern Nite Travels To True Guegts of the Chapel Committee learhed last Tuesday afternoon in Goodhart, that the Bryn. Mawr Lantern Night tradition ‘has been transplanted to the Orient at the| True Light School in Hong Kong. How Bryn Mawr traditions were } started in that Far Eastern city was explained by Miss Lu Hui- Ching, Ed.D., headmistress of the high school section of True Light. She said that two Bryn Mawr graduates who came to teach at the schoo] in 1916 introduced Lan- tern Night ceremonies and the song, “Come Cheer for Our Col- lege,” which is now the True Light school song. She said that nearly three thou- sand people gather to watch the ‘True. Light version of Lantern Night. The Chinese version is quite different from the Bryn Mawr tra- dition, and involves marching in formation and singing several dif- Light School ferent songs. . Miss Lu also showed’ a film of, school activities and facilities. She explained that the high school is a. girls’ school only and that stand- ards there have been kept high so that True Light graduates may go to the finer schools in the United States for: higher education. The school also has an elementary di- vision for both boys and girls. True Light is a nor-denomina- tional school run by Chinese Chris- tians and was founded in Canton, China, 82 years ago. Because of the Chinese communist invasion the school was forced to leave its original site and reorganize in Hong-Kong, where 1,280 students are now enrolled.

Fathers David and ” Baward Current Events Peter Bachrach Predicts Dems Will Win. — This Year COMMON ROOM, Nov. 1—Go- ing along with “the estimate of the conservative New York Times”, Peter Bachrach predicted Demo- cratic victories in both houses of Congress in this year’s election. Mr. Bachrach spoke on “The Im- plications of a Democratic Vic- tory” at Current Events. The issue.involved in predicting the outcome of an election, he ex: . plained, is weighing economic against non-economic factors, The economic view is that “when there is no threat of war or depression, you vote by your stomach; if you are hungry you vote with the ‘outs’; if full, with the ‘ins’.” The non-economic prediction considers such factors as a Freudian on leadership or last-ditch arguments on television which expose the pop- ulace to demagogues and person- alities. Burden on Democrats Mr. Bachrach expressed a min- ority opinion by stating that the real significance of the campaign to him was that. “it was meaning- less from the standpoint of a lack of real issues”. Possible positive issues were avoided by both par- ties in favor of negative attacks on. dead issues. He added that the burden was, in this case, on the Democrats who, as the minority party, should have forced dynamic issues forward. Mr. Bachrach saw the campaign as an unhealthy indication of an agreement between the two par- ties on basic. principles... This. .un- dermines the foundations of a two- party system. The system is jus- tified by the fact that the general public receives a clear-cut. defini- tion of important questions, Seniority Determinant The effect of a Democratic vic- tory.on.the..Eisenhower program would probably be’ negligible. The ° program would continue because. — committee chairmen determine the types of legislation introduced into Congress. Because these chair- manships’ are determined om the basis of seniority, Democrats chairmen are, on the whole, South- erners, who are more conservative than the Republicans. A coalition between the Republicans and the Southern Democrats, or a presi- dential veto, would be able to do away with Democratic legislation: Mr. Bachrach feels that the Re- publican “old guard” would be strengthened by a Democratic vic- tory. The liberal Eisenhowér fac- tion would lose prestige for “try- ing, to out-Democrat the Demo- crate.” . Paradoxically, the Eisenhower forces might also be weakened by a Republican victory. Eisenhow- er committed himself as few other presidents have done im an off-year election, but Nixon, the real lead- er of the party, would gain’ power because the election was fought on his terms. Another interesting factor in appraising the results of the elec- tion is observing the continued or retarded emergence of the two- party system in the South. l- though six states in the “deep South” have congressional candi- dates who are unopposed by Re- publicans, peripheral areas seem to be moving toward the two-party system.

MC Easier Than High School By Catharine Stimpson, ’58 “mnowing a person trom a for-! eign country makes the country, mucn more real, aoesn’t it?” com- menved someone in the Rockefeller aining room. “setore Vaneth came, 1 tnought iran was nothing but oil anda mossadegh.” Parvanen (which rhymes with pa knee Vaneh) or Modaber is spending her first year away from her home, ‘leheran, Iran, as a fresnman at Bryn Mawr. in sharp convurast to most of her contempor- aries, sne nnds college academical- 4y easier tnan high school, _ ‘an iran, we study fifteen sub- jecus a year,” sala the daughter of an iranian general. “we have trig- onometry, algebra, natural history, rersian luceracure, French or Eng- lish, geograpny, Araoic, drawing, hisvory and science.” Vanhen 1s now svuudying chemistry, which she likes, mathematics and kinglish. She plans to attend sum- mer school in New York, also. _ Studying to be a doctor, she has foliowea her brother ,a student at the University of Virginia medical school, and a sister at N.Y.U. Medical School, to America, Vaneh chose Bryn Mawr on her sister’s recommendation. Language is her greatest diffi- culty. Often she opens her Eng- lish-Persian dictionary to find the translation of a Persian word and sometimes, as when she was list- ing her high school courses, she writes in Persian, which is an in- tricate series of scrolls and lines from right .to left across the paper, before answering in English. Spoken Persian, which uses some, , Arabic, i is heard in Rockefeller now as -Vaneh expiains the pronuncia- tion of “salam” (hello) and “hall shoma chetar. ast?” (how are you?). in her room, Vaneh brought out an album to show pictures of her home and a map of Iran to point out Teheran. ‘ She went on discussing Iran, “We have a government like Eng- land’s with a shah and a premier. unly women cannot be—how do you say it?—elected. Women are now trying to get the vote. We 1ike Americans;-they do not bother us and Point Four has helped us. sut there are not any English peo- ple left after the oil trouble” When questioned about the re- cent power struggles involving Mo- wammed Mossadegh, Vaneh com- mented, “It’s better that we don’t say anything about him.” Iran’s educational. system differs from America’s in that six years ‘of elementary school are followed by six years of high school. “And here everyone must go to school,” Vaneh said. “In Iran there are many who cannot read or write. We have many, many poor people.” Social‘ customs are also much more rigid, As Vaneh explained, “We cannot go out with a boy.” Marriages are arranged by par- ents in one of two ways. Either a man requests that his parents make certain arrangements or the parents contract the marriage without consulting their children. Vaneh’s favorite American land- mark is New York. “I like all of America,” she said, “but oh, New York, I love her.” AlwyneTellsUrigin' Of Major In Music especially contributed ‘by Harriet Barsky, ’57 Mr. Horace Alwyne described the evolution of the music depart- ‘ment at a Bryn Mawr Club lunch- eon on October 26 at the Deanery. An anonymous undergraduate gave $5,000 to the school to give the department its start. When classes began in 1921,one piano one blackboard, one box of chalk, and two books were the total amount of equipment. .This equip- ment found a home~in the Ely Room of Wyndham. There were choir rehearsals, lec- tures on music as a means of ex- pression, and an outside course for teachers. One evening a week there was an informal musicale which opened with a Bach chorale as “prayer”, followed by chamber music, performances by visiting ar- tists, and the singing of folk songs. Mr. Alwyne taught all the classes and conducted the choir. In 1924 he was appointed chairman of the department. He then had to work on the prejudices of alumnae who thought anything which gave pleasure t be too easy. -The department finally reached - the catalogue as the “Department of Theoretical Music” and that year it was proposed that a major should be given in music. This was 30 years ago. In 1927, Goodhart opened and the department moved to the Mu- sic Room. Courses were designed not to compete with the conservatories which emphasize performing, bu to produce an enlightened listener. Keen judgment’ and taste result from an understanding of the mu- sic’s historical . and sociological Lame Honor System RevisedByRadcliffe As Bryn Mawr introduces its new academic ‘honor system word has been received from Radcliffe, via an unofficial report, that theirs has been modified. Radcliffe’s hon- or system was instituted in 1942. Only one case of cheating has been reported since then. The changes are the result of a general feeling of unwillingness among the stu- dents to report other students when . actual violations have been witnessed. On the basis of a, discussion be- ‘tween student leaders and college officials, a committee was formed to study the problem. Several rec-| . commendations were made by the committee and subsequent changes in the system have been adopted. The major change involves cheating on final exams. Previous- ly, proctors at Radcliffe finals were only clock-watchers. They now have the added responsibility of reporting any cases of cheating. The girls may still report others, but the responsibility of doing so has been removed. It was felt that this was a responsibility which the students did not want. Radcliffe ssudents formerly were permitted to leave the room during exams ‘and to take their examina- tion papers with them. This is now forbidden. Talking in the halls and eating during the exams have also been prohibited. . These two changes were insti- tuted in order to cut down annoy- ances to the other girls taking the exam. It is hoped also that the new rulings will help to “clean up the general behavior during ex- ams” which has become “sloppier every year. ” ‘Threatens Schools. | By Marcia Goldstone, ’56 One of the greatest problems proia: eaucavors today is the enor- | mous_nood of students who will be attending schools which at present do not have the capacity for them. Ine country’s elementary schoois are already extremely overcrowd- ed. The secondary schools will’have vo aliow for them next, and soon after that, the coileges and univer- sities. ‘Yhe effects of this great increase in the population are of even more sanportance to institutions of high- cr iearning wihen one considers the riicreasea percemcage of students wu0 NOW desire a college education. mxpansion of the exisung tacil- .uwes Lor aavanced education is one vi tue SOQ.uuons, Olered to, this probiem, ‘Lnis leads us to a con- saueration 6f Wnat it mignt mean .O0 pryn Mawr to incrcase the size vi 10S enrolument. ‘Lhe most aavantageous effect of | such a move, from the student’s point of view, would be the propor- uionate increase in the teaching statf. This would allow for a great- er variety of courses to be otfered and therefore grant the student more choice in her particular field of interest. This same increase in the faculty’s size may correspond- ingly cause a decrease in its qual- ity. The most quickly advanced ar- gument against increasing the en- roliment is generally the loss of the more intimate atmosphere which is connected with the small school. Since this is the reason many students come to Bryn Mawr it is one which should be carefully considered. If the enrollment in- crease were matched by a propor- tionate increase in the faculty, the existing. ratio would allow for the same close faculty-student féla- tionship afforded by the smaller school. We, as students, are not faced with any decision in this matter, but it is an interesting problem for us ‘to consider in the light of how the difference in the size of the enrollment and the effects of such an occurrence might have af- fected our choice of Bryn Mawr as an alma mater. - Papers Contribute Comedy Plus News Looking through the multitude of exchange papers which find their way into the NEWS room each week yields some interesting, controversial, or often just amus- ing bits of information.

Under a.three year | grant from the Falk Foundation, the course will consist of field trips and work,- internships in admini- strative offices, special lectures, demonstrations, conferences and study of campaign materials.

Week, ILR.C. presented a talk--by Miss Leighton, of the Political Science Department, on the International Court’ of Justice. In discussing the Court, an affili- ated agency of the UN, Miss Leighton covered three main points: 1) the competence and jur- .isdiction of the Court, 2) in view of its jurisdiction, what is the Court’s effectiveness?, 3) the kind of contribution the Court makes to justice, First, Miss Leighton said, let us compare the International Court of Justice to the U.S. Supreme Court. The 15 justices of the World Court are elected for nine-year terms by the General Assembly, while the Supreme Court judges are appointed. Both courts render decisions by majority vote. Both make use of dissenting opinions. Both courts follow an authorizing document in regard to cases that may come before them, : Jurisdiction in the Internationai Court’s case, there is a Statute of the Interna- tional Court of Justice signed by over 40 countries. The kinds of cases that may come before the international Court are those in- volving interpretation of treaties, international igw, and matters concerning breach of international obiigation. Only states (national and local) may be parties be- fore the Court. A state may take up its citizen’s case, which is how private individuals figure in many international cases. Miss Leighton then discussed the ‘limitations of courts, in general, and the particular limitations of the International Court. There are certain inherent limitations on ju- dicial technique for any court of A Quote from The Swarthmore Phoenix, Oct:-19; 1954 Swarthmore students are in- clined to complain that studying never ends, and as a matter of fact they are inclined to be correct, law. And because a court of law is a court of law, it should not be expected to deal with problems of a political nature. The reason is that there is no judicial dispute. A court of law should not be asked to determine the living standards of an underdeveloped area, or whether Red Chitia should pe seated in the U.N. No court should have this power, and the anternational Court is not an ex- ception to this. In the same way, che Supreme Court could not de- clade on the Civil War issues, Limitations Any court should not risk mak- ing- decisions that are tagrantly coutrary to the common pracuices of a community.

Entorcement ot a decision is left up to the con- science of the individuai srace. ln spite of its handicaps, the In- ternattonal Court ot Justice has accomplisned a great deal. Many are not aware ot this because tne Court usuaily deals With every-day. «55: tecnnical points, and not the ban- ner heaaline type of case, As examples of the cases that have come before the Court, Miss Leighton cited a Norwegian-ling- lish nshing boundary aispute, tne Anglo-iranian oil case, a dispute between Kingland and France over some channei islands, and awards for the Compensation case, and tne Keparations tor injuries case, in which the Court decided that the U.N. could recover damages for the death of Count Bernadotte, the U.N. mediator killed in Palestine, In summing up, Miss Leighton said that 1) the Internacional Court of Justice can’t. be expected to do more than any other court, that 2) “it’s business is to keep in business,” and 3) the Court per- forms a law-making function. By Rosemary Rudstrom, ’55 Now is the time for Bryn Mawr i College to realize*the call to a new tradition. We evidently have not | recognized the close connection~of ,May Day with another festival just past. Naturally that festival is Hal- lowe’en. From olden times the two events have been connected. Per- haps you will recognize this if you hear the actual name of the eve before May Day, Walpurgis Night! All through. Europe the two nights have been considered as the times on which witches go raging through the streets on black tabby cats or besoms. I believe that Bryn Mawr should introduce the custom of the cele- bration of Hallowe’en into the col- lege roll of traditions. In case this should come about, I should like to give a few pointers on how .properly to celebrate this Ccaetlae date. The obvious idea is to follow ancient customs. , The custom of greatest antiq- ing witches by means of huge bon- fires, on which black cats, foxes, or even human beings are burn- uity and importance is that of slay-| Student Challenges College To See Relation Of May Day To Hallowe’en clouds, as some witches remain aloft. ,In order that the witches may not have an easy des » one should place a chair or ms sim- ilar obstacle on the, ground, on which the witch will break a leg or two.

Mawr varsity lost to undefeated Temple, 5-2, The junior varsity was more successful with a 8-1 vic- tory over their opponents. The varsity game was an exceed- ingly fast one and far more evenly matched than the score would indi- éate. At the end of an exhausting first half, ‘the game was tied, 1-1, but in the second half Temple forced Bryn Mawr to play taeeHty a defensive game. The defense did a magnificentt job, especially the two fullbacks, Sara. Stiffer and Marty Fuller When the offense gained contro] of the ball, they did not always play it to the best advantage. Janet Hetzel, the left inner, played well, however, and was responsible for In the opinion of both Miss Price and Miss Yeager, the whole team deserves a lot of credit, both for their excellent spirit and the fast, cleanly fought game. The backs were commended for their excel- lent work in defending the goal, especially. since they were weak- ened by the absence of Steffie Hetzel. With this victory over Temple the J.V. has a record of one win and one loss. Pat Hill, playing center forward, made two of the goals, and Margie Milbank, the right inner, was responsible for the other one. The team showed defi- nite improvement in both team- work ‘and spirit over last week’s game. The Bryn Mawr team feels that Committee Provides Political Conscience “The Committee of Seventy was formed fifty years ago in Philadel- phia by a group of people dissatis- fied with the existing municipal government,” said Keene Butcher, the director of the Committee of Seventy. Mr, Butcher spoke Thurs- day afternoon at the Alliance meeting, on “Problems in Voting.” Mr. Butcher described the Com- mittee of Seventy as an organiza- tion devoted to good government, with no political affiliations. In- stead, the Committee finds itself |, always -in the unenviable position of criticizing the party in office. Now, for example, the Democratic party in Philadelphia is under censure, due to a recent incident in which Mayor Clark gave a number of politica] leaflets to the patrol- men on the police force to distrib- ute during working hours. The Committee of Seventy feels that this is not ethical. . Not only is the Committee of Seventy a “cleanup” organization, but it is-also an tional insti- tution, sending out representatives to talk to any interested group. The Committee has been divided - into several sub-committees.

K. Gilbert. By Donnie Brown, °57 .We finally tore ourselves away from. Greenhill and Alec Guiness, the other day to go and see how! the other half of the flick. world lives. The movie we picked for our initiation was A Star Is Born, with Judy Garland of the soft ~brown cow eyes. Her cohort was James Mason, looking like a veritable movie magazine, cover. ~ Between gropings /in the pop teorn “box we watched the plot evolve as it has been ever since the second flick was made. The first, you know, was scenes of waves rushing at people and not much else; in those days it-ran a close second to Cinerama. At any rate, Mason, idol and celluloid lov- er of millions, meets a singer, Judy Garland, with a voice like a dark alley on a foggy night. The pro- verbial screen test follows, the gal reeks talent, and rises in the world like a refugee from the Fourth of July. In between this and some good throat clutching songs, Judy or Esther Blodgett marries Nor- man Maine or Mason. Naturally this is not going to work out since, while he is infatu- ated with her, Mason is also infat- | uated with liquor, which is bad for the tribulation-stricken wife. At about this point the see-sawing of stardom comes; the blues singer rises and Norman falls, which is again bad for the soul. So each of them prepares to make a sacrifice, Esther with her career and Nor- man with his life so she can go on. He beats her to the draw and com- mits suicide, leaving a dewy-eyed star behind him, in rebirth. We’ve had rather a dislike of Judy Garland ever since The Wiz- ard of Oz, but she did well enough in A. Star Is Born to almost con-. quer that. “There are many advantages in growing older,” Loewenherg “including freedom to indulge ‘in reminiscences.” Indulging in the latter, he retold his experiences and acquaintances with the men responsible for the “Golden Age of Philosophy” at Harvard. _ Speaking before the Haverford Philosophy Club, October 27, Mr.. Loewenberg recalled his associa- tions with such men as’ William James, George Herbert Palmer, Josiah Royce, George Santayana Hugo Munsterberg, and Ralph Perry. During his eléven years from 1904-1915 as undergraduate, graduate, and part-time instructor at Harvard, Mr, Loewenberg, now visiting Phillips lecturer at Haver- ford, witnessed the height of this golden age. Opposition Welcomed Among these men, Mr. Loewen- berg’s’ closest and most intimate attachment was with Josiah Royce. “Royce,” he commented, “not only proclaimed the truth, but also re- tained a genial indulgence for opin- ions opposed to his own. He wel- comed vigorous opposition, for whatehe valued in his students was not docility, but power.” Mr. Loewenberg took a course taught by William James two years before the great pragmati- cist died. He remembered him as a rather hesitant and somewhat dry lecturer. “However, his written style was the fruit of self-conscious effort. Embodied in his person and doc- trine was a spirit of intellectual freedom and adventure.... He brought to his philosophy a divers- ified background—that of an artist, a psychologist and a philosopher.” ! Mr. Loewenberg found it difficult to observed Jacob. BrownUnimpressed ‘Golden Age Of Philosophy’ Provides By ‘AStar Is Born’ (Topic For Speech By J. Loewenberg talk of George. Santayana in gen- eral terms. He described Santay- ana as aloof, subtle, detached. “He pretended, although how far‘I can- | not sa}, to dislike teaching. But no one was more conscientious in answering questions, more pains- taking in lecture, or more inter- ested in his students.” Youngest of Group In speaking of Hugo Munster-_ berg, Mr.- Loewenberg noted that he was not content to be just a psychologist or. philosopher. He wanted to béa missionary—an_am- bassador' of German culture to the United States. “Therefore, he wrote books in German idealizing the United States and vice versa. World War I was a personal trag- edy for him,” The youngest of the group ‘was Ralph Perry, a pioneer in the school of new realism. -In discussing the questions rais- ed by Perry’s school, Mr. Loewen- berg recalled a philosopher’s din- ner at which T. S. Eliot, then a Harvard student, delivered a speech. “When he began his speech,” laughed Mr: Loewenberg, “Eliot made the mistake of prom- ising three specific points. He elab- orated upon the first beautifully, the second also. However; when he came to the third, he found to his horror that he couldn’t remember it. Embarrassed and perplexed, Eliot sat down.” Recalling a course given by George Herbert Palmer, Mr. Loew- enberg remarked that it was an education in itself. His lectures also were “models of classical im- ages.” A professor of philosophy at the University of California, Mr. Loew- enberg is giving two courses at Haverford this semester.

Prasidents, Deans And Faculty Members Discuss Problems At Vassar Conference To diseuss, to cooperate, and to plan were the aims of the Seven College Conference held two weeks ago at Vassar. Miss McBride, Mrs. Marshall and Miss Oppenheimer represented Bryn Mawr at the con- ference where the presidents, deans, and a faculty representative from each of the seven member schools (Bryn Mawr, _ Radcliffe, Wellesley, Smith, Vassar, Mt. Hol- yoke, and Barnard) were present. The conference was instituted on an annual basis so that groups from these seven colleges, which are in many ways much alike, would have.an opportunity to dis- cuss their mutual problems, to tell what they, individually, did about them, and to work out solutions. Typical problems are those of the scholarship programs, lan- guage requirements, teaching ‘staff, and changes in curricula, The lat- ter was given particular attention for many members wonder if their Dressmaking, alterations.

Dr. Sloane presented the lack of good religious art in the modern era with an example of Malraux’s art Griticism. The French art critic points out that we now put relig- ious art ina museum and regard it | only as art, not as a spiritual rep-| resentation. The only meritorious ern re- | ligious artist is Roualt, who has combined devout religious belief with extraordinary talent to pro- duce “The Mocking of Christ.” Picasso, who is generally pro- claimed the greatest of 20th cen- tury artists, is highly successful. in expressing the horrors of man’s in- humanity to man, as in “Guernica,” a mural depicting the destruction of a small: Spanish town by the) Germans, merely to test saturation | bombing. Picasso is, however, in- capable of rendering a “Crucifix- ion” of any spiritual worth. The lack of good modern relig- ious art has caused one Catholic clergyman to say “It is better to turn to geniuses without faith than to believers with talent.” Only when the resources of religion are fully understood and exploited, as by an artist of devout convictions such as Roualt, does modern relig- ious art achieve any success.
