STRESSES COLLECTIVISM

On Wednesday afternoon, February 13,
Norman Thomas spoke. in the. music



~ room under the auspices of the Under-

graduate Association. His subject was
“Democracy and Its Enemies ;” “after we
made the world safe for democracy, we
wondered. what it was, anyway.” Ideal-
istically we are better off as a nation

simply because we have had an idea ; our, |’

criticismi_of the idea as it exists in fact
does not detract from the glory of it as
as immaterial thing. We know that .it is
worth thinking about the masses and
their rights—this ‘conception had never
dawned upon men during the other
great periods of civilization; the idea is
still young today, and we have our
doubts, but sqgpetimes it is very wise to
“doubt one’s doubts.”

Bertrand Russell says that men fear
thought more: than, anything else in the
world, and“this did not necessarily mean
that he did not intend to implicate women
in the remark,” added Mr. Thomas.
People will not listen to serious discus-
sion in these days unless the subject has
been “jazzed—up.” (MrT homas,inci-
dentally, managed to do just that in a
most amusing way.) - The elite-in our
democracy are bored by its ideals; we
think in terms of a’crowd, and crowds
are fearsome things; it is just this sort
of psychology’ which makes the world

~-an interesting place for dictators, poli-

_ticians, advertisers (the poets of the pres-
ent generation) and others., They have
caught us out in the spirit of mob
thinking; arf@ they are able to keep us
within a rather close limit of control. We
have come to believe in a set of slogans
which have long ago outworn_their_use-
fulness, or which were never intended in

VARSITY VICTOR”
___IN FIRST GAME

Game With Baltimore Rapid
~~and Well Played on ~
Both Sides

SECOND TEAM IS SLOW

Varsity made a promising beginning
to the basketball season Saturday morn-
ing, February 16, when Bryn Mawr de-
feated Baltimore, .25-15. The game was
fast and exciting. The Baltimore team
passed neatly and well. Their players
hardly had to look where they_threw the
ball because the receiver was always. in
the correct place. This was Bryn Mawr’ ‘$3
only perceptible weakness, a slight slow-
ing of the game. while the player with
the ball looked around. for some one to
pass the ball to. There are, however,
exceptions to all rules and the pass from
Baer. or Blanchard ‘to’ Totten, forward
was almost always successful.





Varsity on the whole out-played Bal-
timore during the first part of the game,
but after the few minutes .time out in
the last quarter (Shoemaker had to re-
cover from the. disastrous effects of a
collision with Baer) the visitors let loose.
Varsity by that time felt. almost sure of
a victory -and awoke with a start to find
that. Baltimore was playing better and
faster basketball. Both -teams~ fought
hard but Varsity held the lead.

The center, proved to be the hole in
the visitor’s armor. Cassard was. slow
and ineffectual and their guards often
had to throw long passes to the forwards.
But Cassard was at, a. disadvantage, she
} was playing opposite Blanchard, who is
fast and exceptionally good at interfer-
ence, although inclined to be a little wild
in passing.

The honors of the game go to Totten,
forward for Varsity, and to Clarkson,
forward for Baltimore. Totten was fast
and dependable; she made up for Hum-
phrey’s tardiness at certain critical mo-
ments. .. Totten was.good. but. Clarkson
was spectacular. Althougti playing ‘out

Second Varsity

Second Varsity followed in Varsity’s
footsteps Saturday morning, February
16, and defeated The Saturday Morning
Club, 26-23.

It is a pity that Second Varsity has to
play after Varsity because it is such a let-
down. Saving-the best for the last might
work in athletics, too. The passing in
Saturday’s game was ‘slow and often
wild. The playing generally looked like
a slow motion picture in comparison with
the first game. McCully played a con-
sistent game and successfully kept the
visitors’ score.down. Rash in side center
played well but hardly had an opportun-
ity to show her ability. Johnsop; who took}
‘Hirshberg’s place the second half, added
| materially to the score -but had. a ten-
dency to hog the ball which was unneces-
gary with Engle there to.-help her.

Engle was’ ‘the one consoling feature
about the game. “She handles av basket-
balf in a very competent manner. In

morning, February 18, She declared that
aside from the excitement of the scertes,
there was an atmosphere of calmness and
serenity, that the pleasure of the, per-
formers was evident, that the. whole thing

“| moved very “easily (perhaps due to the

fact. that this is. the first class to use
Goodhart for its Freshman Show), that

bus opening was good, that. the scenery
was charming and effective, and the
dancing excellent...

.Miss Park then pointed out jor ditre
was an application of her remarks to
dramatics in general at Bryn, Mawr.
There are more dramatics at Radcliffe,
for instance; more emphasis is placed on
it there, and the drama courses at Har-
vard are an added advantage. On_the
whole, it is mot a theory, but an actual

fact, that amateurs cannot, do ‘finished
acting. We must realize the problems

presented to someone acting. a difficult
and subtle woman’s part, or a man’s part,
and not expect excellent and expert act-
ing, in any thing but exceptional cases,

It is therefore a pity, continued Miss
Park, to lay emphasis on finished and
expert acting, and to choose plays if
which everything stands and falls by the
acting alone. It would be far better to
take something fresh and original that
can’t be seen elsewhere. It may be either
very old, or the original work of a col-
iege student, but its freshness .is all-
important. It would remove the dis-
advantage of almost certain disappoint-
mént and discouragement. The college
hoe be able to do. something very
intefesting with costumes.and _back-
grounds, and really ought to do the
actual preparation of the latter them-
selves; instead of having it done bythe
college men.

We are not isolated from urban life,
here at Bryn.Mawr, and so we have com-
petitors in the professionals'in Phila-
delphia. We must see what our best
chance, of offering something interesting
is. ‘Miss Park suggested that an all-
college revue might be very good. It
would be fresh and original, and lend it-
self to production, arid be better than a
cut and dried thing that could be ‘Seen

Liberal-Club- ee
Extension of Membership

Hazel Seligman, ’30, the President. of
the Liberal Club which ‘has been carry-
ing on a quiet existence for nearly two
years, has announced that the club plans
to extend its sphere of activity. Hitherto
the members have -been Seniors and
Juniors who have been individually in-
vited to take part in the club discussions,
which take: place every other Sunday
night. It has now been decided, how-
ever, to offer membership to any under-
graduates or graduate student who is
interested in domestic and international
problems of current interest, and who is
willing to take an active part (in -the
club’s activities. Miss. Seligman there-
fore requests anyone who is interested
to come to see her between 1.30 and
2 P. M. any day this week, in Room
10-12 Pembroke East. The appeal ts
especially directed to Freshmen, Sopho-
mores and Graduate students, as they
have hitherto pad no part in the club,
but any member of any ~~ will be
welcomed.

The discussions which have Sid held
so far this, year have .dealt ;with such
subjects as Italy under Mussolini, Soviet

forth. It is the custom of the club to

Emphasis of College Has

In- Chapel on Wednesday morning
Miss Carey announced a_ consecutive
plan for the remaining of her weekly
chapel talks during the second semester.
For several weeks she will talk upon vari-

consider certain phases of literature—
bpoks and authors of interest to her; and

lastly she will discuss some of the out-
standing social problems of the day.c#

Miss Carey stafted right off on the
series with a delightful comparison of
the ‘college-as it was when she was
there—but a short decade ago—and the
college of-today. Apparently there were
amazing differences, above all ‘in, the
curriculum of academic work. The

Thus there was little opportunity to
specialize.’ Much of the work was ar-
ranged on the five-hour basis which al-
lowed scarcely any chance for variation
in a-schedule: of classes during the week.
This system appears to have been very
stiff and rigid but it was advantageous
in that students didn’t rush from one
thing’ to-another. ; fs

_ Athletics were carried on in the same
highly organized system. There were five
hours of required exercises—hours that
permitted no individual expression, In
Miss Carey’s class itself, which consisted
of 64 girls—there were (ve hockey teams
and during her freshma "year 11 basket-
ball teams.

The boundaries between classes ‘were
held: to be inviolable and almost sacred.
The: seniors were set apart somewhat as
minor. dieties, Miss Carey conféssed that
she is still a bit scared of anyone from
the class of 1917, This class spirit meant
necessarily much emphasis upon song-
writing .and -songg-were composed for
everything imaginable—something which
we miss nowadays. Every party must

so kind—.”
To make up songs and to have all par-
ties conducted with proper attention to
detail there were innumerable class meet-
ings apd committees, including a War
Council—formidable titl—which worked
to raise money, to send war-workers
abroad. For this students pledged great
sums and then tried to redeem their in-
debtedness by shining shoes or by re-

ing money.

Many more rules existed in the self-
government handbook. There was more
dignity in attending to these rules, less
individualism and no boasting whatso-
ever about breaking any regulation.
Week-ends were almost unthdught of—
Saturdays and Sundays were spent in
reading and playing together.

“Perhaps this sounds like a doleful
picture,” Miss Carey concluded, “but I
can assure you that it wasn’t doleful.
We were less blase, with less chance for
self-expression and with more inclination
to work together. A slightly different
emphasis . existed, not so much -upon
‘work as upon inside activities. Now there

Professor Max Diez of the German
department spoke in Chapel, Friday
morning, on the opportunity of studying ,
in Germany in the summer. ;

“The opportunities for. taking i@liday
courses in Germafiy increase so fast that
it is impossible to keep up with them,”
said Professor Diez, The best places to
go, according to .Mr,. Diez, are the fol-
lowing: :

Hamburg, August’5-24; three weeks of .
work with excursions to We heck # Lunes
berger, Hude, After this there will be’
two weeks’ tour to Frankfort, Heidelberg,
The Rhine, Cologne, ete.

Kassel, July 15-August 31; there are

‘| airplane lines daily’ to London, Brussels,

Rotterdam, Prague, Hanover, Frankfort,
Berlin, etc. Kassel is a beautiful city,
having five museums. The university. is
organizing -full winter courses for Ameri-
can students; :

gust,-the fourth week is devoted to sight- ~
seeing,* is

Heidelberg, June 24-August 3; Ele

mentary courses are given here, also trips
to the Rhine valley, to ruined castles and
also the Black Forest.
Munich, July 10-August 7; lectures are
also given in elementary courses. There
are trips to the Bavarian Highlands and
the Lake Countries.

Berlin, July 11-August 21; five lan-
guage courses are given here—the largest
ptégram offered in the cotititty. The
courses are given both in German and
in English. After the session there will
be organized trips to all parts of Ger-
many.

“T would like to recommend Munich
or Berlin. The whole session is six
weeks in both places; but you can take
half session. The advantage of study-
ing in Heidelberg, which opens early in
June, is that you will be able to see
German universities in operation if you
make a tour after you finish your work
there. ¢

Times Current Events Contest
Jast Saturday. The seats in Room
‘D were spread with blue books
and gray blotters. However, only
seven of them were made use of,

~The committee conducting - the

contest had evidently expected
more contestants. That it must
be. told to the New York Times
that only seven participated 1 in the
event is.a little disappointing.

tainly ‘there has been nothing this
year to prevent us from giving
full-play to our. intellectual input
(or output’). Mid-years were
over and the scheduted~ quizzes
are yet a long time to come..

The failure to give more syp-
port to the contest is either due
to our lack of interest in the world
events political, social, economi-
cal. ,or. scientific, or to our dis-
belief i in contests of this kind. (Or
was it.due to the fatal fact that it
was held on Saturday?) Either we
come out with a better showing

A PARK BENCH
There are many matters



in

Germany's example. But the most
striking just at this time is her
treatment of those who were once
her rulers. Instead of assassinat-
ing them or insisting on sending
them to some far away rocky
| island, she lets. them live peace-.
fully arid quietly at Doorn. If we
discount occasionly Oppenheim-
ish stories about great plots and
great explosions, -her method of
disposal seems to be eminently
successful. The Kaiser, the great
villain of the war, the instigator.
of so many atrocities, has turned
domestic and respectable along
with his family. Recently he pre-
sented his wife with a: book he
had secretly written about. his an-
cestors. Such preoccupation with
the past and‘a mild little surprise
present would seem to indicate-a
gradual settling into senescence.
On Sunday there was a picture in
the Times of the Kaiser’s Dutch
neighbors giving him a present on
his seventieth birthday. Every-
one looked pleased and contented.
The present was an elegant park
bronze _ trimmings.
Weather permitting, he may now
sit comfartably in the sun for the
rest of his life. Herein lies a hint
for some rich man Who is at a loss
to know what to do with his mil-
lions. A sum set aside to provide
a park, equipped with benches—
with bronze trimmings—would be
}an excellent: endowment for all-ex-
rulers and outworn presidents. It
might-spoil Mr. Oppenheim’s fun,
but. how peaceful it would be.

card from J. W. R., the man whom no-
body knows. “God is calling you today,”
it said.” “Will you answer Yes?” and
above that a reference to three passages
from the New Testament, Matthew,
Mark and Revelations. On investigation,
they all turned out to be something about
“Go forth and: Preach.” The postcard,
moreover, turned out to be addressed to
the President of the Class of 1929. But
that spoils the story.

Next to be turned up was a lurid folder
in black and red, bearing the inquisitive
legend “Do You Make-Up?” It finally
turned out to be the alluring advertising
slogan of a Costurne Company, who were
very anxious to do anything they..could ,
in the way of providing wigs, grease,
paint and false finery.

Is this an intentional slight.on.our use

In any case’ we feel the allusion is
uncalled for. If Diogenes _really is un-

that he marry Chloe, and make an honest

minds of the audience, all the attic scenes
might easily have been omitted. A’p-
parently they were intended to make the
show _ hold together, to. give it. the
coherence ‘which it certainly lacked. If
so, they failed in their purpose. The
three very good acts might better have
been allowed to stand alone as a revue.

And-they were good acts: The cave-
man scene with its: simple effective set
and realistic costumes was perhaps. the
‘most generally successful of the three.
The wealth -and luxury. implied by the
costumes caused a sad shaking of. the

After rather a long wait, marked by
the rude but perhaps encouraging im-

curtains opened for the second act. This
scene was the most beautiful in every
way, light, lines, costume, setting and
dancing—almost too beautiful for a
Freshman Show. The only regret was
that Betty» Young was not more clearly

questioned about the doctrine, we reply,
“E don’t know what it is, but it’s. safe.”
Mr. Thomas’ summary of -the situatibn
is “Our public opinion is spoken by a
lot of televoxs who don’t know mere
souls are theis ‘own -until they cs:

Now it is all very well for people to
be idealistic about their Government, but
we have talked too: romantically about
our democracy. »The Democratic party
still boasts of Jefferson, but if thé truth

probably have no chance of election in
the South of today because of his heter-
odox religion! We also hear a lot of talk
about the will of the “plain peepul, and
the plainer thg better.” If the voice of
the “peepul” is the: voice of God, God says
some pretty extraordirfary things. For-
tunately we have more or less outgrown.-|



“this point of view. Mr. Thomas believes

that the majority is always wrong on new
ideas, and that their support in the long
run is always necessary. This was ex-
emplified by the rapid fall of the old
Rtssian regime, as soon as the majority
of the people stopped thinking of the
Czar as the “little father.” =

So far our loyalties have not caught

all sorts of prejudices stand in the way
of this ideal. The loya'ty6f nationalism
is felt a gredt deal more potently sunder |
the stimults, of hate than love, and this
will never. lead us into a great world
brotherhood. Again Mr. Thomas gave
an example: Our Government will send
out any number of marines to oppose the
bandits ‘ag y be molesting American
citizens. in®ltaly, but. “if you’re held up
in Chicago, Ged pity you!”

Our ‘greatest problem. is, of course,
“how to get along in-a-world of dif-

ing so is disaster.” - Now, obviously,. the
distribution of powers follows .the- dis-.
tribution of property, but in America
there is little evidence of this develop-
ment. Diogenes would be far more
apt to find an honest man* with his lan-

men. The element of fear is very great,
and this kind of coercion can very easily
be turned into. political channels,. Now
Mr. Hoover, “the rugged individualist,”
talks the talk of Adam Smith, and acts

‘We Walit fo go. “The fit shoulff use their |
fitness for social rather than individual
good, and society must learn to manage:
collectively: the thing®*that they collec-
tively need.”

Dr. Fenwick, in introducing Mr.
Thomas defined a socialist as -one
“who proposes-a thing before it has been
successfully tried. Conservatives accept
new ideas only after they have been suc-
cessfully tried; hence, it is they who get
the jobs as well as the credit.” Mr.
Thomas contrasted the two by saying
that a conservative Government takes
over a business that js not making a
profit, or else it meddles in business and
makes profit, for others. A socialistic
Government would take-over a business
with the idea of making a profit for it-
self, The socialist party in theory would
take over all the principal means of pro-
duction and ‘distribution. All public util-
ities should be under competent Govern-
ment control, The idea is not that. there
should be little dictators in each depart- |
mertt of the Government, but rather that
there should be a system of functional,
intelligent self-government in industry.
When this was accomplished, there would
still remain the problem, of the ration of
control of: skchaieattaas some com-
modities are so much more necessary. to
human existence than are others, e

The socialist, despite the Chambers of
Commerce, does. not say, “We live to
produce.” Rather, he is more apt to con-
sider the human element. Although Mr.
Thomas went on to say that no one as
yet assumes an--omnicompetent Govern-
ment, yet the suggestions which he made
to help solve the: unemployment problem,
do give one an inklittg of how this system
which fakes into account the individual
Democrat, might work. Three sugges-
tions of importance were, first of all,
Hoover’s plan of outlining a system of
nublic works during timesof depression.
This, however, would not remove the
problems of seasonal-unemployment. Sec-
ondly would be the inauguration of all
kinds of social insurance; this is a hu-

“The Main Linér,” of ,which Fran- j

cis M. Stifler, °25, is editor, in a recent |
‘editorial commented. as follows on the!
‘attitude of Haverford and Bryn Mawr
Colleges to Main Line. residents: .

“Bryn Mawr College offers remarkable
entertain. ent and instruction to _ its
-friemds and neighbors in lectures, con-
certs, recitals, plays, etc. which are pre-
sented.at Goodhart Halleand to which the
pulic is welcome.,

“Haverford College similarly extends
the courtesy of its ‘lectures and other
functions to nearby residents who care
to attend.

“These two institutions are not closed
to those outsife the immediate faculties
wand studea~ “sdies, and grounds and
doors are thrown open to neighbors who
care for the intellectual stimulation or
the quiet -placidity of the cloistered,
scholarly life. The ‘No Trespassing’
Signs at the gates are not invitations to
stay out, but warnings to evildoers that
the” privilege of easy access may~ bet
denied to them if abused. The grounds
are ours for contemplative Jor meditative
wanderings; the libraries are ours for
reference and research, and arrangements
c 11 be made for borrowing books. Much
of the splendid equipment of these in-
stitutions will be made available to the
public if it will show interest insco-opera-
tion. Here is a delightful privilege, easily
within reach, demanding , no payment
other than interest and enthusiasm.”—

When af last they stumble away, what

too expensively at a middle-class ho-

luck, met a few minor celebrities.
Spent perhaps $2,500 for one month's
incomplete entrée into only one
the gay capitals of the world. They go
home wondering how they have missed
so much of the advertised glamour.
How pathetic! How extravagant!
How much better to spend $1 for

really amusing in all three capitals...
