CHAPTER THE THIRD
Algae in India.

A tall, thin, yellow-faced boy
lounged on a horse-blanket near an
open grave. It was an Indian ceme-
tery near Simla and there were al-
ways fresh-dug graves because. the
native ‘young died so thick in the Hill
rains. Not far away lay a young
subaltern puffing at a hookah.

Presently he took‘ the thing out of
‘his mouth and pointed at a scrawny
figure moving slowly down the hill
below them, “who is that Fabaryihg,
Algae?”

“That is my halahdah,” said the boy
peevishly, “he is packing my things.
Ha! ,
Leave Cancelled. Indeed.”
“T start tonight with the pack-train.
I must get-a camel.”
‘Where is your pony, Leftenant?”
asked Algae.

“Dead,” said the subaltern, “famine



9 o’Clock and Be Prompt!

Lest anyone feel that this editorial board has foregone tradition, we

hasten to take a preliminary turn around that stamping-ground of every
undergraduate journalistic staff—the Library. The 8.30 morning return on
Reserve Room books is observed by few, because most students do not eat
breakfast until eight-fifteen and have no intention of rising earlier to spend
a fruitless half-hour in the Library before classes. They realize that few
students come to the Library at 8.30 and feel that those who do so can easily
make known the fact on a reserve slip the night before. Those in charge at
the Library apparently feel that this attitude is justified; for few of the
many violators who bring back the books at nine, or even eleven o'clock,
are punished.

Yet this state of affairs is scarcely conducive to strict obedience to
Library rules generally. If the eight-thirty rule can be broken, perhaps the
weekend or the stacks rules may also be violated without penalty. A nine
o'clock return, strictly enforced, would produce greater respect for all
Library rules. The assistant in the Eigeerve Room should then have an alpha-
betical list of all students in college™ Any books returned after nine o'clock
—even minutes late—would cause a»check to be made against that name;
and two or three checks would mean swift and automatic suspension of
privileges.

While catering to the convenience of the majority, such a change would
vastly improve the morale of the college with regard to Library regulations
in general. In most cases these are-more than generous and need-only a few
corrections. Liberal rules strictly enforced prove in the end more efficient
than stringent rules seldom obeyed. ©



Caravanning for Peace

The Youth Section of the Emergency Peace Campaign offers with the
vigor of a new organization a rare opportunity to all who are seriously
interested in world peace. Feeling that talk alone is not sufficient, they offer
action to younggpeople. In groups of five and six under leaders they will
enter rural is in strategic political regions of the country and there
organize programs, lead discussion groups and propagate peace information.
They will be able to discover for themselves the best means to arouse a-deep
and farsighted feeling for world amity, and they will learn where lie the
roots of public opinion. By actual experience, they will find methods to
influence this public opinion toward international cooperation, and they will
bring home from their caravan tours a store of practical means to avoid the

* pitfalls of mere idealistic conversation.

To students leaving college or facing an idle summer, disinclined to
burrow further into books and unable to travel widely, ‘yet anxious to do
something worthwhile, this is a rare opportunity. Ambitious future workers
in welfare, politics, peace and education alike will find here a common field
in which to acquire practical experierice. The training alone would be
invaluable; but far more than this these caravans will be part of a nation-
wide campaign to keep the United States out of war. Here is an unequalled
chance to help make a great and popular ideal an actuality.



It Pays to Keep Up

The News announces in this week's issue that Dr. Fenwick has kindly
consented to act as faculty sponsor for a Current Events Contest put out
by Time magazine and to be given on May second. The News will sponsor
the contest among the students, but feels that, in justice to Time, the maga-
zine’s offer of prizes cannot.be accepted unless at least fifty students plan: to
participate. There is no preparation necessary for the contest except a fair
knowledge of the headlines of the newspapers and magazines which lie
around the smoking room each day.

The contest here has a twofold purpose, to discover just how closely
Bryn Mawr students follow the news of the day, and to stimulate their inter-
est in what i is happening outside of college. Time has been very generous in
its offers of prizes and Dr. Fenwick and the News board have poted to dis-
tribute the money in many small prizes, feeling that in 1 this way everyone
will have an equal chance.

Such.a contest, requiring as it does, no work, will make a very welcome
variation from» May Day work in the lull before the final dash. If it is a
Success, more tests with greater scope will follow next year. The question-
~ aire promises entertainment to all and cash awards to many lucky under-

and fever. Where go you from the
hills? To meet the colonel-sahib?”
“No,” said Algae. “My father is
in the Bengal army, and I go along
the great Trunk Road to Calcutta
with two women.”

“You travel with women?”

“With my English ayah and my
father’s wife. Hi ali! I am sick of
women. Where go you?”

“To England,” said the subaltern.
“England, eh?”. said Algae in
hindustani, “what is this England-
place that the women jabber about?”
“The land of the white mem-log,
Bandar,” said the leftenant. “Don’t
you remember Kensington and Put-
ney? It is time you went home.”
“That is what my mother tells me,”
said the yellow-faced boy, rising from
the blanket. “Pig!”

Prologue:

Hail to thee blythe Veteran

Soldier thou never wert.

* * * * * * * °
You’re the top

You’re a Gold Star Mother

You’re the top

I’m your soldier brother

I’m a future Vet.

Of a war that’s yet

To. come
We want a bonus that Frank will

A paltry sum—

It’s all right
And it doesn’t matter

If the dollars scatter
That’s the cry
Not an eye is dry
It’s wet
But, if, Baby, you’re an H. F.
I’m a Vet.

Theatres
Broad: Sailor Beware proves itself
a hit in Philadelphia as it was-in New
York. Bruce Macfarlane plays the
star role in this rough and rapid
farce.
Erlanger: Her Weekend, sponsored
and partly written by Anne Nichols
who was also concerned in the success
of Abie’s Irish Rose, which ran on
Broadway for four and a half years.
This play seems to be even more de-
plorable than its predecessor.
Forrest: Opened Monday. Red
Rhumba, the annual musical show of
the Mask and Wig Club.
* Garrick: Three Men on a Horse,
also a farce, and very funny, enters
its seventh week, and hopes to con-

its original author, for the benefit of
the Hays office.

Under the directorship of a commit-
tee on which Dr. Frederick J. Man-
ning, head of the History Department,
will serve, Swarthmore will soon begin
to catalogue the collection of 4,000

phonograph records given to the col-
lege by the heirs of the late Senator
Bronson M. Cutting.

The collection, a large part of which
was bought under Dr. Manning’s guid-

Wagner, Bach, Handel and Beethoven,
in addition to recordings of grand and
comic opera, church music and

Beginning in 1936-37, Brown Uni-
versity will have neither mid-year ex-
aminations nor semester grades in
full-year courses. Comprehensive ex-
aminations will be given instead at the
end of the academic year. This new
arrangement eliminates the wmid-
semester recess, but will add two days
to-the spring vacation.

* * *

Some 9,000,000 words of senior
theses on everything from slum clear-
ance to TVA, will pass over the desks
of Princeton faculty members between
now and June.

_The essays represent independent
investigation of some special topic,
usually carried in the locality con-
cerned. Canada, Bermuda and the
anthracite region of Pennsylvania
have each played host to at least one
Princeton man seeking authentic infor-
mation about his subject.
