DRIVE IS NEXT WEEK



The ‘Christian Association will begin
its drive for funds on Monday, Novem-
‘ber 7. Its. budget includes many worth
while activities, which will be explained
more fully*in chapel talks during the
week of the campaign.

One of C. A.’s most interesting activi-
ties is Bates House, the summer camp
for city children at Long: Branch, New].
Jersey. Bates House is a large summer |’
home, set in a big garden, and lent for
the purpose by its owner, Mrs. Bates; it
accommodates about forty children be-
sides the staff. During July and August
three groups of pale, shy, slum children
are sent from New York or Philadelphia
to thrive on the country air, and be re-
turned at the end of two weeks, healthy,
rosy and uproarious. Six or eight Bryn
Mawr students aid the permanent worker
and the “noice” (Bates House dialect for
“nurse”) in taking care of them—teach-
ing them games and songs, watching
them at the beach, telling stories, and see-
ing that they eat their gretn vegetables.

New Chinése School

The Yuet Wah Middle School, Canton,
China, is another worthy project. It
was started by Liu Fung Kei, Bryn
Mawr, ’22, to be a school that was “not
for propaganda, for business, nor for
‘positions, but for giving the children
true education.” There are about fifty,
or sixty pupils, most of them day scho-
lars, and they are instructed in modern
Chinese and in English. Athletics play
an important part in the schedule, and
Liu Fung Kei attempts to teach the
parents in their care of the children, and
to have a high moral standard. The
school is in a carefully selected building,
but there is need of many improvements
which necessitate financial aid. This
school has been placed on the budget of
C. A. to take the place of the Student
Friendship Fund which will have its own
campaign, so that we can feel we. are

Yellows Play Circles
All Around Varsity

Varsity was smothered, 11-6, on ‘Sat-
urday by the relentless offensive of the
Yellows team. Our defense was slashed
into ribbons as ‘time and time again their
forward line ripped through for a clear
shot at the goal. Al Bruere, defending
the cage, was in an unenviable ‘position.
She alone had the task of warding off
the fierce assaults of the five Opposing
forwards.

In the first half we were oc
outclassed, The Yellows, ‘playing as a
team, each sure of her position and her
intentions, ran circles around our eleven
individuals.- Each person on Varsity was
playing her own game, often brilliantly,
but utterly without co-operation with
anyone else. The result was pande-

right place at the ‘right time or to,know
where the others were in relation to her-
self. The Yellows, no better man for
man than we were, made up an efficient

machine. -
- The game -was started off with a goal

.»* for the Yellows made by Dot Lee (Mrs.

Haslam). From that time on the ball

was kept up at our end pretty continu-
ously. Occasionally one of our forwards
would break away for a long run down
the field to fail in the circle because of
lack of Sf Rite a8 from the other for-

| Miss Ely Explains’ Conference]

Which She Attended in
Honolulu.

e



‘In Chapel on Wednesday morning
Miss Ely spoke on the conference in
Honolulu of the Institute of Pacific Re-|}
lations, This conference, held every
two years, was started by Mr. Atherton,
a man concerned with shipping in the
“Pacific. It seemed to him-that a con-
ference of the countries which used the
Pacific for trading would make for a
mutual understanding of difficulties, and
therefore would promoté international
peace.. The first meeting was held in
1925.

The members, men and women inter-
ested in international relations for one
reason or another, are chosen from ten
different countries. Some of them are
teachers and: missionaries, others are in-
terested in questions of race, government,
or finance. Most of the delegates went
from San Francisco to Hawaii on the
boat together, and so became acquainted
beforehand. Plenty of reading material
on the subjects of the conference was
supplied; everyone arrived somewhat
prepared. The headquarters were at a
preparatory school in Honolulu. Round
tables © were held here in the mornings;
the afternoons were given over to amuse-
ment. Motor trips were made over the
island, and there was much. bathing, in
characteristic national fashion, at the
Waikiki beach, :

Every One Was Frank

One of the most impressive things
about the conference was that people
were so frank and honest in their ‘state-
ments. In spite of racial difficulties
there were very few. hurt feelings. Eng-
lish was the languagé used, in deference
to the majority. This was harder for the
Japanese delegates than any others; the
Chinese, spoke fluently and expressively.
Curiously enough, the Americans and
the British understood each other with
great difficulty. The subjects under dis-
cussion were mandates, labor, industry,
race, communications, and foreign loans.

Some of the more prominent of: the
American “ members were President
Woolly, of Mt. Holyoke; Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt, President Comstock, of
Radcliffe; Mr, Crowly, of The New Re-
public, and Stephen Duggan. Other im*
portant members were.Colonel Manton
Davisy of -the Radio Corpofation of
America; Dr. Edward Hume,, lately
president of Yale-in-China; Ivy Lee, the
publicity man; Paul Sharrenby, of the
San Francisco A. F. of L.; Dr. James
Shotwell, and President Wilbur, of
Stanford.

Miss Schenck Talks
on Graduate School

“Undergraduates: have much to gain
from contact with graduates,” said Miss
Schenck, in Chapel, on Friday, October
28th. “I am not suggesting a formula
for friendships. Friendships take care
of themselves, and those of us wlio have
a long perspective have seen many last-
ing ones grow up between these ‘two
groups that are said so often by silly
People on both sides to ‘be. incompatible.

of honor at a tea in Rockefeller on Mon-
day a¥ternoon, October 31,

During the two weeks they have been
in this country these twenty-year-olds
have averaged eight engagements a day.
One of the people they have met is H. L.
Mencken; who, Miss. Mann says, told
her “Everybody drinks here, even my
|grandmother.” She has never been of-
fered so much hard liquor, insher life
before.

Speaking of the plays they had seen
in. New York, Miss Mann said that the
not-so-good plays here: were much better
than those of the same class in Berlin;
but that there was more serious problem
drama abroad. “Here the main object
seems to be amusement.” ‘Miss Mann
knows whereof she speaks since she is
the daughter of Thomas Mann, the Ger-
man dramatist.” She is negotiating the
‘sale of the movie rights to one Of ghis
plays when the twins get out to Cali-
fornia where they expect to stay six
weeks.

Have Visited Princeton

Saturday they spent at Princeton,
where they saw William and Mary de-
feated. “It is a much rougher game
than German football,” said Miss Mann,
“but the band was wonderful with cute
little caps.” She acknowledged that she
played goal on the hockey team when
she went to the “Gymnasium” which cor-

WILL CO-EDUCATION
ANSWER PROBLEM?

Opinions Gleaned from Clip-
pings Show Active Interest
in Women’s Gollewed.





ADMIT ECONOMIC NEED

“The Question of the Women’s Col-
leges,” as set’ forth in the November
Atlantic Monthly) by the heads of seven
eastern colleges, and partially reprinted
in last week’s Coriecek News has at-
tracted widespread notice and comment.
About thirty-five newspaper clippings
comprise front page articles «and edi-
torials viewing the situation from every
angle.

The commonest solution to the problem
‘offered by these writers is- Co-education.
They consider it inevitable, and most of

them are satisfied. The Evening World,

however, looks on that with alarm; in
an editorial entitled “Lest a Worse Thing
Befall!” we read “Here is a prophecy
which the deans were not brutal enough
to make; girls are not going to stop
going to college: If there isn’t room
and money enough for them at the girls’
colleges—there are the ig, finely-en-
dowed plants and staffs of instruction
at the men’s colleges.-—Co-education is
the inevitable, irresistihle atiswer. So, if
the: wealthy’ graduates of these men’s
colleges warit to, keep their alma mater
free from the women’s invasion, they’d
better give an endowment thought to
Vassar and Smith as well as to Yale and
Princeton!” .

Sin Not Extinct

Individualism Is Good, but We
Must Develop Own Moral -
Standard.











The chapel service of the Christian
Association on Sunday, October 30, was
led by Millicent Carey,,class of 1920.

“There are certain words,” said Miss
Carey, “which, although they meant a
great deal to our fathers and grand-
fathers, have disappeared almost entirely
from our presefit-day vocabularies. The
word ‘sin’ is one of them. There is an
excellent reason for this: the word ‘sin’
has no definite connotation to us; we
dislike it because it. suggests another
word shunned by the modern generation
—repression.

“Individualism is, . primarily, the order
of the day. In many ways this charac-
teristic of our age is a good one. We
do not, in general, worry so much about
the faults of our associates.

Develops Own Standard

“There must be, however, some defi-
nite standard of right and wrong, which
each one of us, as an individual, must de-
velop for herself. Too generally do we
look at wrong in relation to how it is
going to effect other people. If it does
not infringe on the happiness of others,
we think it of little consequence to our
own moral rating.

“There are two groups of people to be
considered here: first, those who are
entirely indifferent to conduct except as
it affects the individual herself; and sec-
ond, those who discuss ‘immortality’ and
‘tragedy’ with the idea that their own
feeble discussions and conclusions will
ultimately solve all the difficulties of life.
While they blithely discuss these theories,
little do they imagine that ‘tragedy’|

‘awaits them in the smaller experiences

of their brief existence. 4
“*Sin’ is not extinct; and ‘the wages
of sin is death’.”



Sophomores Gain Solid,
Not Brilliant, Victory

1930 achieved a victory over 1931 in
a none too brilliant game on Wednesday
with a score of 4-1. The passing of
both teams was very wild; there was
much bunching, and many fouls. Hirsch-
berg and Brown were the only efficient
Sophomore backs. Hirschberg, in par-
ticular, made some good stops and fol-
lowed up well. Longstreth and Stix
stood out on the forward line. On, the
Freshmag team Blanchard and Sanborne
made several good dribbles down the
field, while Baer in the backfield . was
on the job. Rieser, the Freshman goal,
was excellent. The line-up was: 1930—
Parkhurst, Longstreth*, Stix**, Sulli-
van, Taylor*, (Wilson), Coney, Skid
more, Hirschberg, Brown, Houck, E.
Smith. 1931—Rieser, Totten*, (Moore),
Blanchard, Adams, Hobart, Sanborne,
Benham, Tatnell, Waples, Baer, Thomp-
son.

NOT SO DOCILE

Her McCall Article. :

CULTIVATE. INHIBITIONS

In Chapel on Monday morning Dean
Manning spoke ‘briefly on the younger
generation. As a subject, she said that
it was greatly over-rated, and not ‘nearly
as important as mary others, Referring
to her article in McCall's Magazine, she



aged in mind as an audience. But as
usual, adjectives and phrases were re-
printed out of context, giving a some-
what false impression, which she wished
to correct.

This generation 1s not any nore docile
and conservative than any other; it is
itievitable that young people should be
conservative, Independent thinking can-
not be expected of them until they ate
at least twenty-five. As they are brought
up and educated they are taught certain
theories and precepts; they require titre
to compare and consider these before they
adopt them or cast them aside.

Post-War Youth Disappointing

Although the problems of young: people
are always much the same, there have
been some new ones since nineteet+
twenty. It was rather hoped that post-
war classes would do great things,
because of their freedom from handicaps,
their opportunities for independent, con-
structive thinking. But on the whole,
they seem scarcely in the frame of mind
to take advantage of this. All respon-
sibility for leadership in such work is
being avoided; little thinking or planning
is done. This generation has absorbed
from the atmosphere too much of a

evading personal responsibilities, for ac-
quiring experience before we attempt
constructive work. This idea has been
taken too seriously; the fallacy here is
that experience as such has never ad-
vanced, the human race much. The
world has always gone forward through
the creative urge, the desire to perfect
one’s craftmanship, to be not only a
reporter of etnotions and experiences, but
a creative being. Unfortunately two de-
cisions have come into conflict. We think
we have had to choose between doing a

| job well and experiencing all possible

experiences. There are too many “drink-
deepers” among us, and they are taken
too seriously. The only way the human
race has made much progress is by “cul-

advised Lorelei Lee.

Messy Game Ends with

Victory for Juniors
The Juniors carried away the rather



against the Seniors by a 6-2 score. Both
teams played, very messily, although with
plenty of spirit. In the first half neither
side functioned as a team; merely eleven
individuals, some brilliant and some not.
Tuttle and Loines shone for the Seniors,
while Wills, Woodward and Freeman

Wills carried the ball well, used her head,
and was the only Red forward: who hit
hard in the circle and rushed the goal.
Woodward's defense was consistently
dependable. At the end of the half ~
score was 3-1, due mainly to Wills’
sistent attack,

line was*immensely improved. Humph-
