Varsity Dramatics Is
To Be Reorganized

COLLEGE CHOOSES PLAY





(Especially contributed .by Mar-
garet Kidder, ’36.)

The Varsity Dramatics board is an-
nouncing a change in the organization
of dramatics at Bryn Mawr. We
should like to form a dramatic society
to represent the college. The produc-
tions of this society should be, in a
general sense, the concern of the col-
lege as a.whole, not the work of a
group of anxious individuals offered
to the college for criticism: The mem-

A

only those undergraduates who t
an active interest in the many sides
of play production. But interested
spectators should be able to feel that
the fullest use is being made of the
dramatic potentialities of the college.
This society shall elect new members
from the succeeding classes; and it
shall be governed by officers elected by
itself and for itself. We hope’ that
the Varsity Players’ club, under a
new regime, will become such an or-
ganizatio

The present dramatic organiza-
tion has always aimed at represent:
ing the college; but its organization is
rather ambiguous. The requirements
for a dramatic society at a college
must change as ‘the undergraduate
body changes and individuals rise and
disappear. The history of dramaticy
at Bryn Mawr is a singularly varying;
one. The present organization is
comparatively recent and appears tu
be a combination of two elements that
do not combine. There are two sepa-
rate entities, the Varsity Players’
Club and the Varsity Dramatics
board, which represent two distinct
and separate executive forces, a small
committee that increases itself by se-
lecting new members sparingly from
the different classes, and a large soci-
ety, of undergraduates interested in
Dramatics, with a president elected by
themselves. But the members of this
society are selected by the Dramatics
Board. It is difficult to understand
the function of one of these bodies
when one considers the existence of
the other.

The dramatics board is self-perpet-
uating, like the editorial boards of
the College News and the Lantern.
It is not a closed corporation nor one
little group of serious thinkers; but
the choice of its members is a difficult
problem since there are no general
try-outs as in the case of the Lantern

Library Rules Made
For Use of Readers

New Rules for Honor Students
to Extend Time for Books
Instituted









-

POLICY AGAINST FINES





The library has in receni years tried
to make its rules lenient enough to
give all of Bryn Mawr full use of its
books, with as much convenience -to
its readers as is possible. At the same
time, the librarians have found that
to maintain the most efficient and con-
venient service it is necessary to en-
force thé’ rules rigidly. Consequently
an -explanation of the library rules
and of the policy behind them is nec-
essary at intervals.

To prevent popular books from be-
ing taken out of circulation too much,
a student may take only one New
Book Room book at a time, and from
the regular stacks she may take out
two books of general reading and more
books if they are needed for a report.
Books must be returned at the-end of
two weeks, and may be renewed for
another two weeks only if they are
returned on time (i. e., before the re-
ceipt of a first notice) and if no one
else wishes to use them. If books
are not returned on time and a notice
has to be sent for their -return, they
may not be renewed but must be left
in the stacks for three days before
they may be taken again. If a’ sec-
ond, as well as the first, notice for the
return of a book is disregarded, the
stack privileges of the student are
withdrawn for two weeks. This means
that all stack books must be returned
and must be used in the Stack Room
for that period. These penalties are
necessary to prevent undue carelss-
ness in the use and return of books
and to give all users of the library a
‘fair chance to use the books: The
policy of the library has always been
against penalizing late return of .books
by money fines because of the ex-
pense to scholarship students; and
the removal of stack privileges was
adopted as.a fit penalty in that it did
not actually deprive the student of
the use of books, since she might still
use books at the tables provided in
the stacks proper.

Since the institution of the Hon-
ours system, the library has extended
its rules so as to permit Honours
students to use books over a* longer
period of time. Such students are al-
lowed to take as many books as is
necessary for their work, not exceed-
ing thirty at a time, and to keep them
for one semester. When signing the
ibookeards they must, however, desig-
nate that they need the material for
Honours. Otherwise, they come un-
der the same rules as the other stu-
dents. Also, students other than Hon-
ours students who are working on
long reports may ask-for-and receive
the.“ me” privilege. Permission
has to be given, however, because
many books are of a reference type
and they should not be kept from gen-
eral circulation indefinitely.

SIBERIA IS

Julien Bryan, photographer . and
lecturer on Russia, is coming to talk
and show motion pictures under the
sponsorship of the Bryn Mawr Com-
munity Center in Goodhart, Tuesday
evening, January 15. The picture
which he is going to show, Russia and
Siberia, is the sequel to Russia As It
Was; Russia As, It Is.

Mr. Bryan is just returned with
this amazing new record of Russian
life from a four-months’ trip, his fifth
visit to the Soviet Union. He spent
the first two months of last summer
photographing in and around Moscow,
Leningrad, ancient Novgorod and
along the Volga. Finally, leaving these
better known parts of Russia he went
to Karelia to see the White Sea-Baltic
Canal, scene of Madame Tchernavin’s
Escape from the Soviets, and 4,000
miles to eastern Siberia to Buryat,
Mongolia. After a stop at Irkutsk,
the well-known stopping point of
round-the-world flyers, Mr. Bryan
chartered a small fishing boat for a
two weeks’ trip to the fishing collec-
tives of beautiful Lake Baikal, a
journey that nearly ended in tragedy
during a severe storm such as is fre-
quently encountered on the lake, one
of the most dangerous lakes’ and one
of the largest inland bodies of water
in the world. From there he contin-
ued with much difficulty. over the
steppes and through the swamps to
the northern Reindeer country of the
primitive Tuturi Tungus, a Mongol-
ian tribe that migrated into north-
ern Siberia from Manchuria a thou-
sand years ago and now lives there in
a primitive and semi-nomad state.

The movies he is planning to show
include pictures of homes, hospitals,
baby clinics, marriage and divorce
courts, actual trials in the people’s
courts, Ambassador Bullitt and the
Embassy, Czarist prisons in Siberia,
Soviet aviation, Maxim Gorky, Nov-

College Calamities

The yawning trench in front of the
Library which. startled the eyes of
returning students is the result of a
college calamity. Last Friday a steam
pipe burst and repairs were under-
taken at once in order to insure heat
for the halls. The men worked night
and day, so that the repairs are now
nearly completed. Mr. Dougherty, the
college superintendent, fell into the
hole while supervising the work and
was painfully injured.

The unusually dull lighting in the
halls which met us on Sunday night
was the result of a grounded electric
cable. The college was forced to rely
on reserve supplies of electricity and
fearing that the reserves might run
out candles were supplies to light us
to bed. This precaution, however,
proved unnecessary.



Oxford Bows to Girls
American Rhodes scholar, .
A Larson, from South Dakota,
ecked a century-old Oxford Uni-
versity tradition recently, when. he

forced the famous Union debating so-
ciety to open its rooms to women stu-

‘dents for the first time in its history.

At the same time, Oxford men*fitiue4
it’ plain that their interest in co-eds
was purely financial.

Larson, as treasurer of the Union,
persuaded its 800 members to let girls
buy breakfasts and afternoon teas in
the club’s halls, because their shil-
lings are needed to help finance a pro-
posed $7,500 dining room. His pro-
posal was: accepted only after the
American had promised that women
“will never be allowed to roam all over
the place” and that a special entrance
would be provided for the feminine
invaders.

Engagements and Marriages

The Christmas vacation seems to
have been most prolific in producing
engagements, not to mention a mar-
riage. Louise McCormick, ’34, was
married to Montgomery Orr at a
small wedding in Chicago on January
4. Elizabeth Eaton, ’35, has announc-
ed her engagement to Lyman Butter-
field. Eleanor Cheney, ’85, has an-
nounced her engagement to Robert
Graves. Katherine Gribbel, ’34, has
announced her engagement to Ray-
mond Carter,,and Leidy B. Saul, a
former member of the class of ’35
and now a Senior at Radcliffe, has an-
nounced her engagement to Frederick
Vandenberg. Katherine Pier, ’33, has
announced her engagement to Fred-

erick Farwell. :

We Are Jazz-Hounds

Merion Has Largest Collection
With Rockefeller Second
in Song Hits







Hats off to Merion for the largest
and most varied collection of Jazz
hits,—some, we must confess, in a
sad state of disrepair. We would
place Rock second, since it has a cou-
ple of drawers of discarded favorites,
besides the more recent songs. Den-

collection, is reasonably up-to-date.
For classical music, however, we must
go to the Pembrokes, East especial:
ly, where several students have pri-
vate collections of the great compos-
ers. Wagner and Tschaikowsky are
well represented, we found, while
some students enjoy German songs
and yodelling in their lighter mo-
ments.

The ideal Bryn Mawr Jazz-lover, as
Plato might say, goes in for astrono-
my. Almost anywhere one may hear
the wheezy hall victrola, generally
greatly in need of a new needlé&, croon-
ing Stars Fell_on Alabama, I--Saw
Stars or Stardust. In most of the
halls we also frequently hear Smoke
Gets in Your Eyes and Love in Bloom.

Much to our surprise we found that
the hall traditions in victrola playing
vary considerably. All the halls ex-
cept Pem West have an officially pub-
lic vic, but not all have publi¢ collec-
tions of records. The latter is not
such a bad idea we think, as we re-
flect on some of the distinctly obnox-
ious’ pieces hanging on in the more
economical halls. An inspection of
the record depositories in the halls
which have them reveals that Pu-leeze
Mr. Hemingway was once a univer-
sal favorite, At least two of the halls
own such out-dated numbers: as Kan-
sas City Kitty and Seven Years With
the Wrong Woman, besides newer se-
lections like Here Comes the British

Ossinsky Describes
Planning in U.S.S.R.

Correlated to Form Basis
of Yearly Plans

LIVING STANDARD RISES







Deanery, January 7, 1935,

Before a large and interested gath-
ering, Mr. V. Valery Ossinsky. de-
scribed How Plans Are Made in Sov-
iet Russia. Mr. Ossinsky is director
of the National Bureau of Economic
Accounting which forms one of the
two main divisions of the central plan-
hing body, the Gosplan.

In order to discuss planning as it is
done in Russia, something must be
said of the social background of plan-
ning. The most imperative need in
Russia has always been the necessity
for a rapid advance in industrial pro-
duction. The first step in this direc-
tion is the socialization of all means
of transportation, production and dis-
tribution. The second is a central-
ized control of planning under a spe-
cial commissariat for each “economic
group, leading up to a central plan-
ning body. The third requirement is
the abolition of classes and social ‘di-
visions of labor. An important corol-
lary of this is. the raising of the
standard of living of the wage earns
ers.

Planning cannot be either accurate
or useful unless there is a correct sta-
tistical estimate of the state of the
country preceding the’ plan, and these
figures must form the basis of com-
parison for future progress. In Rus-
sia there is a_ speci department
which collects and edits these statis-
tics, directly connected with the Gos-
plan, Each economic unit has to send
statistical reports to this department
on specific dates in the year. The re-
ports go to the commissariat for each
industrial group. The commissariats
send summaries of these reports to
the Central Bureau, which edits them.
The Gosplan-also analyzes the -signifi-
cance of the statistics and makes them
the basis of future plans, In this
way the second Five Year plan came
into being.

After correlating the statistics, the
Gosplan gives them to the Central Po-
litical Bureau, which defines the limit
figures of the future period. This
must be done as concisely and accu-
rately as possible, and the statistics
are then re-expressed to dramatize
the aims and purposes of the plan.

The foundation of the first plan was
the building up of a. sound basis for
the social economy. .The most im-"
portant method of achieving this was
the stimulation of production in the
heavy industries, or the _ so-called
Group A. The second plan aims at
a completed social economy and

stresses particularly the greater de-

War —

Bryn Mawr has always been well known for its determined
stand on such questions as the vote for women, and we believe that
the time has come for us to develop a definite opinion about the
question of the value and the timeliness of pacifist propaganda., There
is naturally no one more opposed to war than any intelligent and
far-seeing woman must be, and yet we believe that there will always
be wars as long as there is anything worth fighting for. In regard
to nations, the difficulties that occasion wars are economic and social,
and we believe with a firm convietion that as long as economic and
social injustices are allowed to exist, there will be wars, and pacifist
movements will be unavailing.

In the present economic condition of the world, with Europe in
a state of unrest over the economic injustices which the Treaty of
Versailles admittedly failed to solve, there is no value in pacifist
movements urging disarmament. America is still the strongest and
richest country of the world, and for this reason an analogy may be
drawn between our position in respect to armaments and the follow-
ing hypothetical case: if a man were to leave his business every eve-
ning with a million dollars and walk unarmed down the street to
deposit it in a bank, he. would soon be attacked by gangsters; if on
the other hand, he were to put the money in an armared car and
drive it to the bank, the gangsters would realize that there was little
use in attacking him. In the same way, America by preserving the
full force of her armaments is essentially discouraging war, at least
against this country, because other countries are afraid to attack us.
It is admittedly true also that European countries are at the present
time hesitant about embarking on a war, because every country is so
well armed that there would be little possibility of any one country
benefiting by such a war.

If the time should come that the causes of war, the economic
and social injustices, were removed, a pacifist movement would be not
only valuable but timely. It would be more sensible than at the
present time, because there would be a possibility of preventing wars,
since there would no longer be any occasion for them. Therefore, we
believe that, it would be more valuable for Bryn Mawr to direct its
energies toward a movement to end the economic and social injustices
prevalent today then toward a pacifist movement. There are organ-
ized movements in the United States for the spreading of informa-
\. tion and the arousing of opinion about these prevalent injustices and
\ their almost certain effect in the production of wars. This would
dertainly be a field in which the efforts of Bryn Mawr might profitably
be‘employed as a necessary intermediate step in the work of prevent-
ing war.

— and Peace

The time has come to talk of many things, and more, to do many
things, if we account ourselves intelligent college women. We cannot
help but.see around us the grave disturbances which threaten war.
Likewise we must note the attitude which the youth of this country,
and particularly the students of all of the larger colleges and univers-
ities, are taking towards national and international attempts at stabil-
ization of peace. Bryn Mawr has not as yet taken any stand regard-
ing any of the ce movements started in this country. We have
sat baguemtich MAD patty while peace leagues and pacifist demon-
strations have eome>to play a very important part teh activity
elsewhere and in the formation of public opinion evrywhere.

It.is high time that we took some stand upon the problem of war |

prevention. We-ean not afford to be indifferent to the situation,. and
we can afford still less to let ou thinking upon the matter be unin-
_ telligent. We are pacifistic in ofr leanings, but our resistance to war

_ propaganda and promotion is fo passive as to. be indicative of no
spirit, and to be worth nothing. We are too ready to incline to
pacifism simply as an academije ideal or as a policy dictated by our
own selfish and cowardly desife for a comfortable and safe existence.

This sort of self interest and/ academic idealism is instinctive, but it

A CONVERSION .
Once, in Scotland, a Turk
Did most wickedly shirk
So pious a work
As going to Kirk,
But his neighbor, named Burke,
Was so shocked by the Turk
He set out with a smirk,
Armed with zeal and a dirk,
For the vale full of murk
Where the heathenish Turk
Was accustomed to lurk.
By a fortunate quirk
Of his luck, Mister Burke



| Stole by stealth through the murk

Unobserved by the Turk,

Seized his throat with a jerk |

Drew his threatening dirk

And snarled out through his smirk:

“You shall go to the Kirk

“Or you’re stabbed with my dirk!”

So the heathenish Turk

Went with Burke to the Kirk.
—Irksome.





OH WHERE, AND OH, WHERE, !

BUSHES GONE?
“What ig the matter with the Lib?”
The puzzled student cried.
“That earth is surely very odd,
And in the way, beside.”

“Why, don’t you know,” the answer
was,
“They’re looking for those bushes—
Our archaeologists, I mean.
They seem to want to push us

Into some excavating project.
We know they cannot find
Those victims of the News’s wrath,
It would be too unkind.”

jing

‘Claire, who has left her husband and

jdays because he cannot escape without

ning with a man whom her husband
supposes to be her lover. The man
is an old family friend and is stand-
ing there in extreme discomfort while.
the husband, a typical French type,
with no sense of humor .and an over-
burdening pompousness, ‘accuses him
of being Miss Claire’s lover. Miss

utterly refuses to return to him, is
extremely bored by the whole proced-
ure and goes to sleep on the sofa, when
suddenly there is a great fuss on the
street below and an inspector of po-
lice appears to say that a dangerous
Communist has escaped and is hiding
in their house. The inspector goes up
on the roof to look for him, and after
further complications the inspector,
himself, turns out to be the Commu-
nist. He finally hides in Miss Claire’s
apartment and stays there for several

involving her as his accomplice.

The Communist, who is played by
Walter Sleazak, is intensely scornful
of the bourgeoisie and determined to
convert Miss Claire to Communism.
In the course of his stay with her, he
becomes gradually converted to the
excellence of bourgeois food and bour-
geois comforts, while Miss Claire,
whom he persists in: boring with his
propaganda speeches, finally falls in
love with him and thwarts a care-
fully laid plot by which he had meant
to escape. The Communist has al-
ways prided himself on the. fact that
he has no time for women in his life,
but the subtle fascinations of Miss
Claire soon provide quite a problem for
him, and he succumbs to her charms,
but not without a very amusing
struggle.

In the last act, the old family friend
and supposed lover of Miss Claire as-
sists the Communist to escape from
the country; Miss Claire, after decid-
ing to join the Communist in Spain,
persuades her husband, who has dis-
covered the Communist is in hiding in
her apartment, to help the Communist
get away on condition that she return
to her married life. The final lines
of the play, in which she tells her hus-
band that she must go out to buy a
sweater and some strong’ walking
boots, which are quite obviously to be

Voice of Bryn Mawr



-To the Editor of the Gotlege News:

Since there are certain misunder-
standings about the Loan Book ‘Rules
we submit them below.* The argu-
ment has been advanced that there
have been changes in the regulations
and that the students have not been
sufficiently advised.

There have been no changes in the
past fifteen years except to strike off
rule after rule as they were found
There
is, however, this difference in the situ-
ation;- that there have simply been
more infringements this year and of
such a nature that the work of the
whole student body has been affect-
ed. When a single copy of a book,
in which assignments have been made
to a class, is taken surreptitiously to
a student’s room and kept for weeks,
something must be done to discipline
the student who took it. In the case
of less violent infractions of the rule,
we find “students. who receive notices
for the return of books and simply
drop them into their waste-baskets
and thus make the Loan Desk Li-
brarian spend valuable time writing
second notices. :

We have tried to devise penalties
which would be effective and still per-
mit the students to keep the books in
question. We are very much against
the idea of money fines. The sins of
children, in these times of financial
depression, should not be visited on
Of course, in the opin-
ion of the busy Loan Desk Librarian,
slow torture would be just retribution.
Since such a punishment is a bit; out
of date and might seriously deplete
the numbers of the student body, we
have compromised on the present rule.
It seems to be the best solution of
a troublesome problem.

We might add for the benefit of
those who object that there are no
printed rules, that five years ago the
Reference Librarian wrote a Library
Handbook and Reference Guide, but
lack of college funds prevented its
publication. However, the rules are
fully explained orally to the entering
classes every year and that ought to
be sufficient.

Experience has shown that our few
rules are just ones. They were made

for the good of the majority. They
_ will be enforced. They must be
obeyed.
= MARY LOUISE TERRIEN,

Loan Desk Librarian.

The Reference Librarian finds that
fewer students have asked for help
in their work this year. She hopes
that there will be'a change in this re-
spect, also, and that they will feel free
to ask for her assistance, The enor-
mous business of writing overdue no-
tices can always be interrupted to
help the students in their problems.

Mary LOUISE TERRIEN,
Reference Librarian.

library rules is printed on Page One

Maids’ Glee Club Sings
Carols and Spirituals





Every year, during the week before
Christmas, we look forward to one of
the pleasantest of our Christmas en-
tertainments, the singing of the Maids’
Glee Club. It sings at every hall,
at Miss Park’s house, Yarrow, Low
Buildings, and at Faculty Row.

This year, the Glee Club sang a
group of Christmas carols, and then
quite a number of spirituals. The
carols were much better sung than
ever before, and the spirituals were
very lovely; the solo singing in the
spirituals had a clear, high quality
that was truly beautiful. The men’s
voices, which were a new feature of
the glee club, added depth and volume,
and considerably increased the beauty
of the total effect.

It is extremely pleasant for’ those
of us who have heard the glee club
for four successive years to notice its
very great catettionest. The excel-
lent training that H. Ripley, ’35, has
given it was particularly evident this
year, in the excellent singing of the
carols. We congratulate her on her
very successful teaching and have
high hopes that Irené Ferrer, ’37, her
assistant and successor, will carry
on the tradition.

Varsity Dramatics Is
To Be Reorganized



son yy from Page One

or Co eye News board. The advan-
tage of’ such an éxecutive committee
is that its members are those most
interested in the work, and their small
number makes it easier to do business
quickly and efficiently. The Dramatic
board decides upon the large spring
and fall plays, arranges the details
of their production and generally fur-
thers the course of dramatics at Bryn
Mawr.

The: Varsity Players’ Club is a so-
ciety of about 40 members. Its bresi-
dent is automatically a member of
the Dramatic Board. There are gen-
eral try outs for membership. Any
one may sign up for Players’ Club at
the beginning of the year in whatever
capacity they wish, and selections are
made at the end of the first semester,
on the grounds of the work done in
the fall. A member of Players’ Club
may experiment in producing one-act
plays, and the club may make plans
for speakers or outside performances
in Goodhart; but Players’ Club has
no part in the choosing of the big
spring and fall plays, beyond the voice
of its president on the Dramatic
board.

We propose to make Players’ Club
the dramatic society of: the. college.
If its members are undergraduates
interested in dramatics and able ma-
terially to contribute to the production
of plays, it seems unnecessary for the
Varsity Dramatics board and Players’
Club to be separate organizations. A
small executive body is necessary to
the existence and efficiency of a large
society; but there is no reason why
those officers should be ‘cut ‘off from
the organization so that they limit it
instead of carrying on its work. The
Dramatics board is to become a com-
mittee of the officer's of Players’ Club;
and the President of Players’ Club is
thus President of Dramatics at Bryn
Mawr. The new members of the ex-
ecutive board are to be elected by all
the members of Players’ Club. This
may combine the efficiency of a small
executive board with the support and
abundance of ideas of a large group.

The choosing of a play, has always
been the hardest problem before the
Dramatic . board. The choice can
hardly be made by a large number of
people as it requires a great deal of
reading and discussion and experience
with past successes and failures. Yet
the opinion of the large majority can-
not be ignored and we feel that per-
sons who are interested enough to
give up a large portion of their time
to rehearsals and who are active in
a performance should have some part
in choosing the play. This spring, we
are about to make the following ex-
periment. The spring play is to be
discussed fully at a meeting of all the
members of Players’ Club, and all
possible suggestions obtained. The
executive committee of Players’ Club,
consisting of the late Varsity Dra-
matics board and its new members
elected by Players’ Club, shall choose
three plays from the suggestions at
the meeting. There will be plays that
they consider equally interesting and
desirable to give. These three plays
shall be put to a general vote of the
whole college, being an attempt to
find out what sort of play the col-
lege would like to see as the work
of its dramatic society, and what type
of performance it is willing to sup-
port.



Players’ Club Elects

The Players’ Club wishes to an-
nounce the election of the following

and Stormy Weather.

Merion believes in saving every rec-
ord that anyone ever left and conse-
quently by now there ‘is a fine collec-
tion of chipped and. even _half-broken
or warped records. Such is the fate
of Underneath a Beach Umbrella
with You.and Not for all the Rice in
China. So constant are the Merion-
ites in their affections, however, that
they still keep the latter as one of
their favorites. Anything Your Lit-
tle Heart Desires, The Cop on the
Beat, the Man in the Moon and Me
sem to be particularly appreciated in
Merion. Our exhaustive research has
revealed that here there are-two of
the 19385 Freshman Show songs,
Wrong Again and At Last. This hall
is the sole proud possessor of such
ancient records as Life is just a Bowl
of Cherries, This is the Mrs. and The
Wooden Soldier and the Painted Doll,
besides many others of the vintage of
The Chant of the Jungle (1929). The
tales of the heroism-of Abdul Abul-
bul Ameey and the poignant tragedy
of Franky and Johnny may still be
heard here as well as that unique dit-
ty, The Song of the Prune. Just to
be cosmopolitan they have several
Spanish songs besides the hits of
Maurice Chevalier with his French
atmosphere. We might add that Mer-
ion is the only hall that devotes a
special room to its two vics and its
dancing enthusiasts.

Rock has two vices also and a goodly
number of discarded records. Its in-
mates must know some songs very
well, we surmise, for besides the few
previously mentioned general favor-
ites, Rock sems to prefer only The
Continental, and Strange. There is
ample opportunity, however, for
branching out,:or perhaps back would
be more accurate, to Sing Something
Simple, Bottoms Up, or Betty Coed.
We also found here records of Shakes-
peare’s songs, like When Daisies Pied
and Violets Blue from Love’s Labour
Lost. Taps, sung by Schumann-
Heink, and Hail, Hail, The Gang’s All
Here and the soft Italian air, Santa
Lucia, are languishing neglected to-
gether in a heap with My Blue Hea-
ven and Cab Calloway’s Harlem Holi-
day.

There are comparatively few. vic-
trola addicts in Denbigh, but they do
have quite a variety of records. If
one is too fed up with J Never Had a
Chance, Give Me Liberty or Give Me
Love, or Love Locked Out, there is
always the possibility of a change to
the lively strains of You’re An Old
Smoothie, Doin’ the Uptown Lowdown
or La Cucarocha. Our jaded nerves
are occasionaly ‘pacified by Good-night
Sweetheart, old.as it is, or Lonely
Lane. Sometimes a German enthusi-
ast plays Zwei Herzen or Das kommt
Nur Einmal, and it is_ possible,
though not often done, to hear that
Eadie was. a Lady, or listen to the

plaintive question, Brother, Can You

Spare a Dime?

There -is less communal spirit in
Pembroke than in the other. halls, and
music lovers provide their own records
and, we imagine, needles, instead of
leaving them to the ravages of time
and carelessness. Not only has Pem
West no public vic, but there are very
few people who seem to play one at
all, The radio suffices for the major-
ity. It is possible, however, to hear
Cavalcade, I’ll String Along with You
or J’ai Deux Amours, along with se-
lections from Mozart and Wagner’s
operas. In Pem East, we found, there
are several generous souls, who ‘some-
times give regular concerts on the hall
vic. The Pathétique, The Nutcracker
Suite or The 1812 Overture from
Tschaikowsky are available, as is also
The Unfinished Symphony. If one is
in an operatic mood, selections may
be heard from Tannhduser or Caval-
leria Rusticana, while two fortunate
individuals sometimes favor the hall
with selections from Jolanthe, Pirates
of Penzance and H. M. S. Pinafore.
German folk-songs and yodelling rec-
ords are frequently played. The less
serious music is also represented, by
Noel Coward’s Mad Dogs and English-
men and much of the previously men-
tioned jazz.

The above observations, we feel,
should interest not only the inmates
of the halls, but also the innocent out-
siders. Let him who “can’t stand
jazz” be very careful when. he enters
Merion. or Denbigh or Rock, and -cir-
cumspection is urged on those visitors
to Pem who are. bored by classical mu-
sic. We conclude, therefore, that with
care anyone should be able to enjoy
old songs, classical music, or modern
jazz at some one of our fair halls.
(Hours when victrola playing is al-
lowed will be furnished on request.)

nist announces to Miss Claire in the
course of a love scene that when he
goes to Spain with her, he will give
up his Communism and they will live
on a little farm in the Pyrenees, while
he raises chickens and she dce3 the
cooking, washing, and brings up the
children. The horror with which: the
ultra-sophisticated Miss Claire, who
has quite obviously never cooked nor
washed anything in herélife, let alone
ever considered the possibility of hav-
ing children, regards this program for
their future life may be imagined,
and the amusing part of the scene is
the rapidity, with which Miss Claire,
who has objected from the beginning
to his Communist propaganda, per-
suades him that he must never, never
give up active Communism, and must
certainly never settle down to domes-
tic life.

Ode to Liberty is rather a trivial
play, and is not so good a vehicle for
Miss Claire as either Grounds for Di-
vorce or The Last of Mrs. Cheyney
was, but it is amusing, swift, smooth-
ly done, and extremely sparkling. It
is a play which we would not have
missed seeing, and we recommend it to
your attention for a very pleasant
evening,

Mr. Bryan is extraordinarily well

equipped .by experience to - lecture.
Since his high school days he has
worked continually with the camera.
He left school in 1917 to serve ‘at the
front with the French Ambulance
Service. He came back from abroad
with such interesting hurhan interest
pictures that he was immediately sent
on tour through the country at the
age of eighteen, to talk about his ex-
periences and show his pictures. Af-
terward he returned to Princeton Uni-
versity and while still there studying
‘he wrote his. war diary, Ambulance
464, which was published by Macmil-
lan. Following this, he spent three
years in graduate study at Union
Theological Seminary and at Colum-

child psychology. He made his for-
mal lecture debut in 1932-33 with Bur-
ton Holmes, showing the picture. Rus-

Ossinsky Describes

Planning in U. S. S. R.



Continued from Page One

velopment of the light, or consumers
goods industries, called Group B. The
raising of the standard of living will
be part of this development. The fig-



x

ure which limits everything else, capi-
tal investment, shows ‘an increase of
1.6 times for the second ‘plan over the
first. There is to be an annual in-

crease in total production of- 161%. per
cent., but Group B must increase 18%
per cent. to Group A’s 14% per cent.
These figures are based on the results
obtained under the first plan, not on
an estimate of .what will be possible
under the new one, This is done not
only from a desire to make the fulfill-
ment of the plan easier, but also from
a desire to create reserve capacities.

The plan for the second Five Year
Period was discussed in geographic
units by the various regional plan-
ning bodies, who then sent in their
completed plans to the central body
by July 10, 1932. These ‘were dis-
cussed and revised in a series of con-
ferences of representatives . of all
phases of economic life. . The time al-
lotted to the welding together of all
these plans was too short and an ex-
perimental first year, 1933-34, was
needed to test the’ validity. of some
parts of them. :

The plan is interesting because it
is the ‘product of discussion ‘among
literally hunndreds of thousands of in-
dividuals, and it is safe to say that
planning extends down to the smallest

collective farm. The Soviet Govern-
ment is esentially economic, and the
people follow the progress of its plans
with the keenest interest; the opening

of .a-big -new--blast.furnace.in-far..off
Siberia is front page news in Mos-
cow.

Looking at the contents of the plan
from the plan-making point of view,
we find that the first volume con-
sists of industrial plans. The second
volume shows the geographic eloca-
tion of productive resources. All cap-
ital investments are controlled by the
central government, which not only
Pdetermines what the total figure for
capital investments shall be, but also
decides on the allocation of capital in
each industry. The figures used as
a basis for comparison are those for
the value of commodities’ in 1926-27.

An examination ‘of the plan itself
reveals the fact that it covers thir-
teen separate points and touches al-
most every conceivable phase of life.
First comes a discussion of capital in-
vestments ‘which includes a detailed
account of all new construction. Other
points define the amount of goods to
be produced in industry and agricul-
ture. ..The requirements of transpor-
tation and communication are next
analyzed. The sixth point is of par-

ticular importance and holds a place
in the second -plan- which it lacked in
the first. It deals with basic norms
in the technique of production, and

has.three. purposes, the first-of-which
is to define the grade of teehnical per-
fection; the second deals with the use
of eexisting technical apparatus, and
the third woncerns the standards of
quality for the goods produced.
‘The seventh point defines the num-
ber of workers in each industry, their
conditions of labor and wages. Next
comes the reduction of costs of pro-

duction, which forms an essential part t

of the last two points.. As an im-
portant part in improving the living
standard comes the plan for increas-
ing the turnover of goods. Housing
and municipal construction, public
health, and education are other sig-
nificant parts of the plan. The thir-
teenth and concluding point is the
plan for a single unified financial sys-
tem; which is designed to co-ordinate
the activities of the state, cities, banks
and trade unions. Trade unions are

important because they havé a very |”

large budget, which covers pensions,
old age, sickness and unemployment
insurance.

Certain important figures and. bal-
ances in connection with the plan are
not published, but are kept in the files
of the Gosplan. These are called syn-



thetic figures and represent possibili-

ties rather than figures, such as the
published ones, which must be fulfill-
ed. Some of the most important of
these are for the balance of accumu-
lation and corisumption; of productive
equipment with distribution in units;
and of labor and trained workers ap-
portioned to the need of various in-
dustries. The most important bal-
ance is the plan for the increase of
real wages balanced with production.

Plans of such a scope as these and
having such a binding force are pos-
sible of realization in the fullest ex-
tent only in a country organized po-
litically and economically as is Soviet
Russia. The chief interest of for-
eign observers must. be with a view
to establishing such a plan as part. of
a government like that of the Soviet
