Sparkle and Rhythm —
Of Spanish Dancer
Delights Audience

Difficulty in Presenting Solo
Dances, Focusitig Interest
Easily Overcome

AN NOUNCED PROGRAM
INTERPRETS DANCES

(Especially contributed by Ethel
Mann, ’38.)

Goodhart, April 25.—With a click
of castanets, a stamp of the heel .and
a flash of dark eyes, Senora Carola
announced the first dance of what
proved to be a thoroughly charming
and enjoyable program of Spanish
and Moorish dances. A dancer who
undertakes to present a program of
solo dances realizes the difficulties with
which she is faced in focusing and
holding the attention of an audi-
ence. Spanish dancing, with its verve,
sparkling color and rhythm, is par-
ticularly well suited to overcoming
these difficulties. In addition, the
unique arrangement of personally an-
nounced numbers, to the exclusion of
cold, printed programs, immediately
brought the audience and performer
closer together in a charming inform-
ality.

Vadim Hrenoff, Gators Carola’s able
accompanist, set the mood with a
Spanish piano solo. Senora’s first
dance, Espagna Mia (a baile de Pre-
sentacion, as the traditional formal
first dance of a program is called in
Spain), was a favorable beginning.
Colorfully costumed in red _ velvet,
Senora Carola combined admirable
castanet and heel technique with such
animation and charm that we sat for-
ward in our seats, eagerly awaiting
more. The clearness of the heel tech-
nique was especially evident in the
next dance, Farruca Divina, a regular
heel dance.in the typical rhythm of
Andalusia. Perhaps the least inter-
esting, from the standpoint.of move-
ment and form, was the next offéring,
Mariposa—“like a butterfly and with
the flutter.of only a fan she passes—”.
In the absence of the definiteness of
the heels and the castanets Senora,
forced to rely more heavily on sweep-
ing movement, was not. so successful.
However, she manipulated the fan
with charming and graceful dignity
and the last flutter after she had dis-
appeared behind the curtain induced
a delighted ripple of laughter among
the spectators.

With an eye to the importance of
the diversified program, Senora Carola
next introduced a monologue, her im-
pression of Carmen, which she exe-

Peace Demonstation
Draws Crowd of 300



Pass Resolutions on Reduction

of Armaments in U. S. and
Nye-Kvale Bill



DISCUSS HEARST ORGAN

Goodhart, April 22.—Three speak-
ers, under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Student Union and the Interna-
tional Relations Club, addressed an
audience of 300 on topics relevant to
the Peace Day Demonstration. Reso-
lutions were passed concerning the
chief purposes of the meeting, the re-
duction of armaments in this country,
the boycotting, insofar as is possible,
of Hearst organs and the passing of
the Nye-Kvale bill which would make
all R. O. T. C. units voluntary rather
than compulsory. A telegram report-
ing this action was sent to Represen-
tative McSwain. Approximately 40
students signified their willingness to
take the Oxford Pledge.

Miss Elizabeth Wyckoff, ’36, who
conducted the assembly, introduced the
first speaker, Miss Helen Dorio, city
secretary of the League against War
and Facism. Miss Dorio traced the
development of this movement from
its start with only 82 delegates in
Amsterdam in 19382 to its present day
membership of one million persons in
the United States alone.

Miss '‘Dorio emphasized the urgent
need for organized action to combat
the forces prompting facism in this





country. It is through this agency,

Research Into Campus Wares Discloses

A Market for Anything and Everything



Anything and everything from
radios right on down to paper flowers
seems to find a market on the Bryn
Mawr campus. A young lady who
would like some extra pocket money,
or who feels that she must materially
assist in putting herself through col-
lege, need only think up some new
and fantastic thing to sell and her
fortune will doubtless be made.

Any undergraduate who has been
bitten by the knitting bug will find
several fellow students just aching to
sell her yarn. Furthermore, if she
wants to keep the froduct of her la-
bors in the very pink of condition, she
need only indulge in a bit of research
to unearth someone who”is a vendor
of sweater-stretchers.

Among the innumerable ready-made
clothes that can be procured on the
campus, “Freshy Suits” especially
strike our fancy. And “since the col-
lege miss can’t dress like this”: (a
pair of exceedingly undressed hotten-
tots is depicted on a poster), there
is a certain firm which is willing to
remedy the evil by supplying you with
lingerie, hosiery and even dresses, for
a suitable compensation.

Around Christmas time the number
of campus ts for this, that and
the other thing increases one hundred

per cent. Christmas cards of all



shapes, sizes and prices are vended
from hall to hall. Dr. Grenfell pro-
ducts varying from luxurious fur-
trimmed parkas to little gadgets that
keep one’s window from rattling, are
displayed before the admiring (and
penniless) undergraduate. More silk
stockings and lingerie come on the
market; but this time they are en-
closed in holly-trimmed boxes bearing
the legend “Merry Xmas.”

At one time this winter two enter-
prising young ladies started an “or-
ange-juice route.” At ten. o’clock,
when the harried student was begin-
ning to feel in dire need of a little
sustenance (and, incidentally, before
the sandwiches came around) there
would be a sharp. knock on her door
and a pleasant voice would call out,
“Any .orange-juice tonight?” The
financial distress of the peddlers was
too great to allow them to wait till
pay day, and five cents per glass,
cash payment, was demanded. Al-
though the business has died a natural
death, we understand that it was
highly ‘profitable while it lasted.

Radios, tennis balls, stationary and
even trips to Europe and Bermuda,
can be procured right here on the
Bryn Mawr campus. We begin to
wonder why anyone ever walks even



as far as the village!

'|Home-Fire Mothers
Rally With Torches
‘“‘Lay-ette Before the People”

Presented to Vet. at Rally
Is Momentous





NEW SLOGAN PROFFERED



“Be Prepared!” Bryn Mawr went
slogan-conscious on Saturday night, as
with torches and banners the Home
Fire Division of the Veterans of Fu-
ture Wars paraded in true political
fashion. One of the tenser moments
during the rally was foreshadowed by
the slogan, “Lay-ette before the peo-
ple.’ The Moment? Robert Barnes,
Director of Public Relations at the
Princeton Chapter, was presented with
an assortment of small garments in
token of the preparedness of the Bryn
Mawr Home Fire Division. Mr.
Barnes must have a good deal of sang
froid by this time, for last week at
Princeton he was the recipient of a
live goose,*“Manifest Destiny.” The
best slogan of the evening was that
offered by . Post-Commander-of-the-
South Rushton, who proposed that the
V. F. W. should be “First in War,
first in Peace, first in the Treasury of
their Countrymen.”

On. the soap-boxes behind the Home
Fire, the speakers: succeeded one an-
other and stirred their audience to en-
thusiasm. Princeton evidently doubt-
ed the spontaneity of our response, for
the gentleman kindly indicated to us
our duty, by holding up large cards
marked variously “Cheer,” “Applause”
or “Boo.” John Paul Jones, of Prince-
ton, struck the proper academic note
by quoting liberally from Shakespeare
concerning the “flood tide that leads
on to fortune,” and further begged us
not to be “as chaff in the wind,” dis-
united and purposeless.

Miss Ely made the most dramatic
gesture of the evening when she sacri-
ficed her last coat (Sh-h-h, it was her
veteran’s coat!) upon the Home Fire.
She declared that a laugh was more
effective than anything else, particu-
larly in war. The Veterans of Fu-
ture Wars should march on to Wash-
ington, laughing all the way.

A few constructive, if distinctly
humorous, suggestions were offered
by Helen Fisher, Bryn Mawr, ’37, who
believes that Congress has not enough
to occupy itself and should be pre-
sented with bills’ providing for each
future veteran. She would amend the
demands of the Home Fire Division
for a trip abroad to see the graves
of their future veteran sons by add-
ing the conditions that the trip should
be planned to cover the entire Eu-
ropean continent lest any future bat-
tlefield or undug grave should be
neglected, and that the trip should be
“First Class all the way.”

The serious side of the question was
brought up by the Commander of the
Haverford Post, Crosby Lewis, who
stated that peace should be the aim
of the V. F. W. now. The laughter
that has been*created must not be al-
lowed to die down. With such an ef-

Anyone Interested in Current
Events or Prizes is Urged
To Enter Late



MANY SMALL _ PRIZES



Saturday morning, May 2, at 11.30
o’clock, the students of thirteen col-
leges will be faced with the first ques-
tion of the Current Events Contest
that the magazine Time has organized
in each college. More than sixty-five
Bryn Mawr under-graduates have
signed registration blanks and all
those who have not are urged to ap-
pear in. Room F, Taylor,Hall, at that
time.

Contestants have nothing to lose and
a lot to gain, as the sponsors have
decided to divide the money into a
large number of prizes. The arrange-
ment is as follows:

Bivee (DVize 6 icc. eo $15.00
Second prize....... 10.00
Bie POANNR, os cies 5.00 each

If one-quarter of the total entrants
are freshmen, a prize. of $5 will be
awarded to the highest freshman.
Otherwise the money will be awarded
to the ninth highest score. Everyone
making a score of ninety per cent or
more will receive a year’s subscrip-
tion to Time.

The tests, which will be corrected
by non-competing members of the
News Board, are composed of simple
factual questions, each of which has
several answers printed beside it.
The competitor must select the cor-
rect answer. Both tests and answer
blanks are coming to Dr. Fenwick in
separately sealed envelopes. Samples
of the tests will be posted on the hall
bulletin boards.. It is expected that
they will take from three-quarters of
an hour to an hour, but there will be
no time restrictions.



COLLEGE DELEGATION
REPORTS ON PEACE

Reyburn Plaza, April 22.—A dele-
gation of ten students from Bryn
Mawr attended a meeting managed
by the American Students’ Union, held
in conjunction with its Peace Day
activities. The purpose of the gath-
ering, attended by representatives of
Haverford, Pennsylvania University,
Temple and other local.colleges, as
well as high school students, was to
report the nature of meetings already
held that morning on their home cam-
puses.

Miss Sylvia Wright, ’38, was the
Bryn Mawr speaker. She discussed
the growing intensity of militariza-
tion in the United States and student
responsibility in disarmament plans.

Issues of particular.importance to
peace were discussed. The body
passed a vote of approval of the Ox-
ford Pledge. The pledge states, “I
will not support the United States in
any war which it undertakes.”

Self Government,
Undergrad Heads-
Are: Inaugurated ~



Retiring Officers Give Report
On Entertainment; Finance,
Rules for ’35-’36

UNDERGRAD ACCOUNTS
ARE $733.23 TO GOOD

Goodhart, April 28.—The officers
for the coming year of the Self Gov-
ernment and Undergraduate Associ-
ations were inaugurated today at a

mass meeting of the undergraduate
body, and the reports of both associ-
ations for the past year were read
and approved. To the retiring offi-
cers, Marian Bridgman and Eleanor
Fabyan, a vote of thanks was given
for their excellent service in a diffi-
cult time.

Marian Bridgman, the president of
Self Government, opened the meeting
with an official report of the activities
of the association under her admin-
istration. In the fall, she said, it had
been necessary to expel one girl from
college and to suspend another because
of their breaking certain rules while
away from the campus on week-ends.
For the fault of forgetting to sign out
before rushing off to amuse them-
selves, eight students have been cam-
pused in the course of the year, and
two have been punished for returning
late from week-ends without notifying
their warden. These two climbed into
their hall through a window, but un-
fortunately climbed directly into the
lap of the hall president.

Miss Bridgman did not spend her
time, however, merely in chastising
delinquents. . When Philadelphia re-
laxed its Blue Laws, the Self Govern-
ment Association likewise removed its
ban from Sunday movies, and when
it was accused of too much secrecy, it
instituted the custom of posting a re-
port of its doings at intervals on its
bulletin board ih Taylor. To a student
who was expelled from college in 1934,
it has now, together ~with Miss Park,
granted its permission to return. In
so doing, it is not establishing any
precedent, but is rather reaching a
careful decision based on the particu-
lar aspects of this case.

After concluding her report, Miss
Bridgman turned over her authority
to her successor, Barbara Colbron,
who now took charge of the meeting.

KENWORTHY EXPLAINS
LIBERTY LEAGUE AIM









April 29.—The Bryn Mawr chapter
of the Liberty League is sponsoring a
series of talks followed by discussion
tonight at 8.15 in the Common Room.
The place of the League at this
peculiarly crucial period and _ its
methods of operating are to be dis-
cussed by Mr. Charles Kenworthy, of
Bryn Mawr... Mr. Kenworthy is ex-
ceptionally well qualified to treat this
subject, as he is a member of the Gen-
eral Lawyers’ Committee of the
League.

Princeton has evidently instituted
itself as a favorite source for speak-
ers. Mr. Beauvais Duffey, ’36, will
describe the organization of the par-
ticularly active Princeton chapter. He
is chairman of ‘the executive commit-
tee of the chapter.

The speakers for the University of
Pennsylvania are Mr. Dreiser and Mr.
Krolleck. Josephine Taggart, ’36, rep-
resents Bryn Mawr. All outsiders are
urged to attend, particularly those
whose views, while not agreeing with
those advocated by the League, will
evoke discussion.



New Art Course

An elective course in Graphic
Art will be given next year by
Dr. Bernheimer: It will cover

ings and etchings to the close
of the nineteenth century. The

tively in Group F (Tuesdays
‘and Fridays at eléven).
