“1 move that the hale appoint « com-|p ‘

‘rise above the din of a class meeting?
Unable to make the mental effort neces-
sary to formulate an opinion, memtbers
of an avowedly democratic community

For the first time in many years under-
graduates from other colleges were wel-
comed for the week-end in the halls of
residence at Bryn Mawr last Saturday.
The delegates to the I. C. S. A. con-
ference represented many eastern col-
leges, and it was a privilege for their
hostesses at Bryn Mawr, in keeping them
in the halls over night, to extend hospi-
tality to the fullest degree and to return
the welcome that Bryn Mawr delegates
have received at other colleges in past
years. Is it too much to hope that the
permission granted last week-end, for
receiving guests overnight in the halls,
may establish a precedent for future ac-
tion?
Extravagance of the pre-war variety
is rapidly regaining its old place on the}
list of college sins, bringing with it a
persense of obligation towards “C. A.
Girls,” “Lantern Girls,” and Sopho-
more dance escorts. The tea hous:
bills are losing their war-time slim-
ness and gifts of flowers are be-
coming such an established custom
that Freshmen think it is their duty to
send them on all occasions. The sam:
lavishness has spread to parties—mak-
ing our former doughnut and cider
feasts seem insignificant compared to the
present elaborate refreshments. For the
last few years the college has managec
to enjoy itself fairly well on an eco-
nomical basis. Is it necessary to revert
to the former wasteful habits?
NEW GOVERNMENT OF INDUSTRIAL
DEMOCRACY NEEDED
Dr. Kallen Says Congress Should Be Re-
placed by Soviet
“Living under the present political or-
ganization is like wearing a dress that
fitted ten years ago; industrial conditions
compel a new form of government.,”
said Dr. Kallen, professor of the new
School of Social Research in New York
addressing the Discussion Club Monday
evening. The subject for discussion was
“Education and Industrial Democracy.”
“Discount 95 per cent. of the lies in
the newspapers, and you will find th-
remaining 5 per cent. filled with reports
of unrest,” Dr. Kallen continued. “The
press represents the people who ar:
afraid of change, who are afraid to have
their hunchback minds straightened.”
“The unrest, about which the press
has organized a conspiracy of silenc:
is a symptom of a definite change in so
cial structure, called by its believers In-
dustrial Democracy, by others, Bolshe-
vism.” The source of unrest, according
to Dr. Kallen, is the conflict between
American life, founded on industry, and
the governing political democracy,
founded on an economy essentially agri-
cultural,
“Congress is an obsolescent body, conr-
pelled to sign its own death warrant,”
said Dr. Kallen. “It has delegated its

who will direct the canvassing, and the

an office force. The office in Taylor
Hall will also be kept. It is possible that
another may be opened in Philadelphia. ©
