Special Permission
The Self-Government Board
wishes to stress the fact that it is
necessary for a student to obtain
special permission by going directly
to a member of the board itself,
rather than by obtaining Jt in-
directly ‘through some one else.
The reason for this is the general
laxity in obtaining permission and
the fact that. special permission is
taken for granted in cases where
it’ would not have been granted
according to Self -. Government
‘rules, but where a third-hand tele-
phone message or a telegram: is
wrongly considered. sufficient.

Bryn Mawr College from M. Edouard
Champion, the well-known Parisian pub-
phers, has just been announced to Presi-
dent Park by Professor Henri Peyré; of
the French Department. of Yale Univer-
sity. Bryn Mawr is ‘one of thirteen uni-
versities designated to receive a complete
set of these photographs representing a,
varied choice of French personalities,
political, diplomatic, literary and artistic.
Each portrait is personally signed and
dedicated by the person-represented to the
university which is to- receive it. The
donors hope that the autographs and
mottoes will be read and appreciated as
a message of good will to the universities
Premier Laval of France
brought these Messages. Francais with
him on the Ile-de-France; he mentioned
the. gift and pointed to its significance in
his conversations with President Hoover.
The choice of subjects for the pho-
tographs ranges from _Clemenceau,--Poin-
caré, Marshal Foch, Marshal Lyautey,
Ambassador ___ Jusserand,...-. Ambassador |
Claudel, to Bourdelle, Paul Valéry,
Aridré Maurois, Paul _ Morand, Jean
‘Cocteau, | etc. It includes most of the
members-of the French Academy, some
famious women writers, such -as Colette
and la Comtesse de Noailles, the greatest
living poets, critics and novelists, a few
outstanding political, personalities such.as.
Barthou, Ed. Herriot, »A. Tardieu, and
the most eminent French professors of
the. Sorbonne and the College de France.
Most of the portraits bear inscriptions
from the hand of Marshal Lyautey, Jus-
serand, Paul Valéry, André Maurois,
etc.: either short extracts from their
works, words of greeting to the students
of the university, or original thoughts
and maxims.
One portrait of each of the persons
represented was chosen for the excep-
tional interest of its autographed motto,
and was framed and exhibited in Paris
in June, 1929, in the Galerie Mazarine
of the Bibliotheque Nationale. This ex-
hibition was opened by M. Marraud, then
Minister of Public instruction, and the
American Chargé d’Affaires in Paris. It
was widely commented upon in the Paris
press. A similar exhibition is being
planned in New York, at which Am-
bassador Claudel and the French Consul
General will be present. It will be held
at the French Institute, 22 East Sixtieth
Street, early in December.

oe Armistice and the Will to Peace
- Thirteen years have passed since the signing of the Armistice but
_ peace has not yet convinced the world that its power equals that of war
in settling disputes. There is, it is true, steadily growing sentiment in
favor of arbitration and actively against war as a solution to the world’s
problems. These vigorously presented solutions of world difficulties are
not, however, as radical as many ‘think them. International congresses
have been used for arbitration and compromise singe 1815 and the idea
of national disarmament has been discussed since 1868. Since the
power of national habit is strong and-the desire for supremacy can
only be carried out by force, these movements have been unpopular
“until recently with most of the leaders and the people.
Professor. Whitehead, in -his-lectures:at"BrynMawr two years ago,
pointed out that’ an academic feeling against slavery ‘existed in fifth
—century Greece;but-that slavery was not finally abolished until 1863" in}
- the United States. That illustration shows. vividly how slowly ideas. gain
~~a following and how. much_patience is necessary_in_waitingfor—their
“maturation. The present political and economic situation, however, is
-~one m whichethere is no time to waste. Conceptions of European peace
and international_polity must be-forced into minds which would otherwise
absorb them slowly. Old habits of thinking must be destroyed.
wo things are necessary to obviate the possibility of war. Oneis
an five working harmony of the nations, made possible by mutual trust,
andthe other is general international disarmament which is proof that nq
distrust exists. Harmony of the nations is obviously complicated by
delicate political and economic problems which only unbiased experts are
capable of.solving. Since these are the problems which will lead to war
if left untouched their settlement is essential. Disarmament is the only,
practical proof that the nations are serious and sincere in their talk of
peace. Although it is inconceivable that any country should want to let
loose the horrors of the next war, it is certain that unless the armament
race is stopped international tension will reach the breaking point and
introduce international slaughter. :
The greatest value of Armistice Day lies in_its reminder that the
Great War was fought in part to end war. Only a feeling-of international
- security can remove the war menace completely, but ‘this security issnot
to be obtained by arming a nation to its full strength. In the long run
the leaders of a country must determine its policy and they must be con-
vinced by the intensity- of public sentitnent for peace that a war will not
be tolerated. We at college can swell, if only by a few voices, the chorus
of protest against war and arms which will reach Geneva in February. |
‘Disgusting Sounds?’.
From time to time in the course of the college year, some innova-
tion of a more or less radical tinge is proposed, usually toward the
“pursuit of happiness.” At times, we confess, we have wondered if
some of these suggestions do not question the validity of the longest
way round as the shortest way home. But, having mounted numerous
soap boxes in the defense of various and sundry causes ourself, as well
as orated bombastically on ‘‘our rights in the community”—particularly
with regard to noise—we feel that we are peculiarly well-qualified to
assume a mediatory role in what bids fair to be anotheg problem, namely,
that we have victrolas and radios in our rooms, to-be played-at the dis-
cretion of the owner—and her neighbors.
Tue News has, so far, received only the apologia for such a step,
but inasmuch as.there are undoubtedly people who will object, and because
both sides may perhaps be pardonably biased, the pros and cons may well
be discussed dispassionately before the fight begins.
- The letters received have certainly indicated a reasonable attitude,
and there is undoubtedly something to be said for the points they bring
up. Victrola hours have hitherto been so regulated-that, with the possible
_-exception of the week-end, the victrola has been a terpsichorean monopoly.
Those who care for some variety, for something beyond jazz, have rarely
‘an opportunity to gratify their longings. We do not mean to imply that
people are selfish about the yictrola¥ the brief time allotted to it is prob-
ably spent as most would want it to be; but it does not follow that this
_ is all that is wanted. We recall one collection of “good music” which was
thoroughly appreciated, when one had a chance to play it, which occurred
with regularity once annually, i. e., in the last few days before commence-
ment when hall rules were apparently lifted. .
The radio immediately conjures up all the cartoon and humorous
_ bits of every conceivable publication in the country. But, on the other
hand, it seems a request rather more reasonable than that for victrolas.
With one, to our knowledge, available radio in college, some slight con-

Not a creature was stirring .. .

Yes, we were sitting quietly in our
study, minding our own business as
usual, when an unmistakable sound of
pattering reached us from the _ bed-
room. A _ cold perspiration bespat-
tered. our brow, and we exclaimed,
“Oh, our. prophetic soul—a mouse!”
By great good fortune we remem)ered
the approved method of procedure and
leapt onto a chair and pirouetted. It
was no good telling ourselves we were
cowards, no more than it is for a sol-
dier who is squeamish about going out
to meet a bomb. If only without dan-
ger to our person, we could entice the
enemy into our parlor! Then we could
have booed him out into the hall—
maybe. But our voice, which rattled
in our throat, was anything but sooth-
ing; so we tried mental suggestion on
ourself, We tried to picture the little
creature sitting on its haunches beg-
ging for cheese or bunny-slippers (and
we certainly would: have given them
to him), and were so reassured at the
thought that we were actually able to
descend from our refuge. “Moreover,”
we reflected, “the mouse is .second
cousin to the rabbit and third cousin
to the prairie-dog, and we love praifie-
dogs.”’ But oh! a horrible thought
struck us, namely: that..the mouse is.

our back teeth morosely....What to

he would go away; so, getfing told of

mistake. For by the time we had fin-

doors. No, there was nothing for it
but to go to bed by ourselves.
We undressed in the hall, to-the dis-
tant-sound of gnawing, which we tried
to drown ‘by rationalizing our fears.
But attributing them to the instinct
of self-preservation was hardly calcu-
lated to allay them. There was only
philosophy left, and that we didn’t
want. We did, however, ‘make plans
for the next day: if we survived the
night, we would have Sarah, at a mop’s

self. ;
But what if the search should fail,
and night after night like a» hunted
thing we should have to undress in
the hall? Everything grew black. .- .
When we next remember ourselves,
we were standing on ,the very thres-
hold of our bedroom, peering into the
darkness. We peered and peered, but
no sound issued from that chamber.
We took a step forward, and with that
step retreat became impossible.. ‘We
stepped again, listening so tensely that
the blood rushed to our ears. Per-

a start, to our owrf snoring. j
Next day, pale and weak from th

tale. But alas! mice stories, like fish
stories, can never rest on their laurels.
We were completely surpassed by the
story of how a rat, with a tail twelve
inches long, cavortéd in the ‘smoking-
roof one night, and even played with
the scrap-basket, when the late watcher
snapped her fingers at him. We began
to think that it would have been bet-
ter not to have brought the matter up
at all. And perhaps you, dear readers,
may feel the same way. But let. us
timent: a, mouse may be all right, even,
charming, in the field—there, at least,
the plow is at hand—but may the Col-
lege keep us from her in the home!

Theatre Review
The Group Theater, a new. offspring
of the Theater Guild, is causing some-
thing of a sensation along Broadway
with its first ‘production; The House of
Connelly, by Paul Green. , The play is
a strange account of the struggles of the
last decadent generation of a glorious
house- to bring life and strength into
faded tradition and a run-down planta-
tion. The young son, Will, fights vainly
against the inner weakness visited upon
them by the sins of their fathers—com-
mitted mainly among the plantation
negroes. After disheartening struggles
against his own pride, the pride of his
aged mother and his sisters, and his lack
of self-confidence, he pays his debt of
shame by sacrificing the snobbish tradi-
tion of the Connelly’s and marrying a
poor-white girl, in whom he. finds vision
and enthusiasm and strength. From the
ruins of an ancient glory whose last
remnants must be destroyed to clear a
way for the new, a new generation rises,
and at the final curtain one feels that a
new and better era is dawning.
The cast is an interesting one, headed
by Franchot Tone.and Margaret Barker,
a former Bryn Mawr girl. Morris Carn-"
ovsky does a really marvelous piece of
work as the degenerate uncle, and Mary
Morris is compelling as the aged, wax-.
faced mother. Fanny de Knight and Rose
McClendon, who was last seen as Serena
in Porgy, give extremely interesting
performances that combine shrill, dis-
cordant humor with haunting laments
for the beloved past. The ease and
convincingness.. of. each. individual _ per-
former can be readily understood when
+-one-realizes that the cast rehearsed this —
play for twelve weeks before they even
thought of producing it professionally.
The main impression left on the -mind
of the spectator by The House of Con-
nelly is much like the’ effect of a very
great piece of modern _music..The main
theme of the composition is by turns
deeply melodious and hecticly jangling:
Tremendous emotional outbursts flair
out without warning and lead the narra-
tive down unpredictable — paths, to a
climax which’ is as sudden and amazing
as the rest of the performance. The
harsh, macabre notes of negro laughter,
the melancholy minor tones of, Uncle |
Bob’s eternal: quotations from the Latin
poets, the ‘sombre bass chords of the
dying mother, all of these are ~unfor-
gettable.
Many people will call The House of
Connelly overacted, unrestrained, or
badly directed, and perhaps much of their
criticism is justified. It is so exclusively
an emotional creation that its success or
failure. with the individual depends en-_
tirely on the mood one brings to it. We
found it tremendously exciting, and al-
most too moving. At the final curtain
we sat back exhausted, but the lady be-
hind us said, “Well, that’s that,” and
there you have it. J. M.

*Gilbert and Sullivan are back again,
as they always will come, in the hands
of most able and delightful interpre-
ters. Last week the company opened
with a double bill of ‘Trial by Jury”
and “H. M. S. Pinafore.” ‘Trial by
Jury” is a skit without much remark-
able music in it, and seldom acted. A
young man is tried for light-heartédly
leaving one lady for another. - The jury
and the judge are so-completely dis-
posed towards the fair plaintiff that
she sits at the judge’s desk while he
throws books and ink bottles at the
counsel for the defendant. The de-
fendant offers to marry the lady if he
may marry her successor the negt day.
Since this seems hardly a possible solu-
tion in a Christian country, the judge
says he will. marry her himself. In
spite of his longevity the lady is dee
lighted, and the court is adjourned.
With only some huromous lines to
work on the company made the most

Varsity Dramatics has chosen as their

Season, John Balderson’s Berkeley
quare, which has only recently been
released for amateur rights. Co-operat-
jng with our organization is: The Cap

whom we worked last fall. The story
pf the play concerns a young aritiquarian
whose identity is strangely mixed with
that of an 18th century American
cousin, whose name he bears: Fascinated

deeply in. love with the. sister of the
cousin he knows he must marry; and
faces the. problem of.trying to “change
things that have already happened.”
Disgusted and sick of the shallowness
ande filth of the period, he is held there
by his love of Helen Pettigrew. Just as
he has decided to renounce his life and
remain with her, an incident occurs which
costs him his temper and, in their eyes,
his sanity. Forced to leave Helen in the
most poignant of farewell scenes, he re-
turns to the twentieth century, where
he .can visit her grave in St. Mark’s
Churchyard while he waits until he can
find hér again in “God’s time.”

‘with a very great precedent to live up
to. To what degree they succeed will
be of interest to those who follow the
successes and failures of the organization.

The Bryn Mawr second varsity was
defeated by the Ursinus. Hockey. team,
3+1, in a well-fought game last ‘Monday
afternoon. The main fault of the team:
was its slow team work as compared
to the swift passing and dribbling of
their opponents. As individuals the
work was good, but the ball was often
passed just a little too late or taken
right into the attacker’s stick. Some
ofthe team also seemed ta..get..dis-
couraged and to give up too easily
although this may have been due to
the weather which was far from ideal
for playing. ~The Ursinus forward line
was very fast and three times their
center forward broke through for ‘a
_ goal. Smith made the Bryn Mawr
goal and Stevenson took the ‘ball down
‘the field several times together with
Faith only to lose it at the hands of
an excellent right half. Rothermel
played her usual neat game and Gill
stood up under repeated assault of the
goal with ‘surprising success. If the
second team could-only be a little more
sure and foresighted in its team work
we are certain that it would have little
trouble in winning a good percentage
of its games.

not only without a goal but also with
a playgr missing at left wing, but even
‘aside from this their work was, on the
whole, not as good as either of the
others. In the first class team game,
Bishop and Daniels distinguished
themfelves in the defense, and the
short passes of Smith and Boyd in the
.| forward line served to carry the ball
down the field although the work in
the striking circle was slow. Moore,
Crane and Sanborn were strong,on the
Senior team forward line, doing some
real shooting when they got within
the circle which, luckily for the Sopho-
mores with no goal, was not too often.
McCully was, as usual, the mainstay
of their backfield, playing everywhere
at once but without getting in any-
one’s way. The Freshman _ second
team was. victorious mainly due to
their forward line work
The second set in the series of class
games played last Monday resulted in
a victory of the’ Sophomore second
team-—over—that of the Seniors. The
play, on the whofe, was not brilliant,
although it has been rumored that the
Sophomores have in Marjorie Lee a’
‘goal who was
most effective even
though it was the first tithe she had
ever played that position. The fighting
spirit of the Seniors was better than
their stickwork but this, without the
well - working. Sophomore defense,
would undoubtedly have won them the
game. Ralston shot a nice goal at one
point and the defense was strengthened
by the accurate hitting of Brown. The
forward line on the Sophomore team

THE COLLEGE NEWS :
Literary Production Scored
(Specially contributed by
E. R. Grace, °33)
Literature, especially critical litera-
ture, should be a forum where ideas are
collected, exchanged and planted. For
months columnists and politicians have
stressed economic and political con-
fusion, the lack of detached thought
prevalent in this period of universal
distress. They have compared the last
stages of the Roman Empire with the
hypothetical decay of our civilization. |
They have suggested remedies of all
sorts ranging from the repeal of pro-
hibition to governmental upheavals on
a grand socialistic scale. The confu-
sion in which we livé is self-evident.
Its causes and cures give scope for the
‘most diverse and profuse individual
; conjecture.
‘ably explored is the field of literature
A field as yet not notice-
itself. The most striking quality: in
contemporary literature is its quantity.
“Like the leaves of the forest when
_ Autumn hath blown,” much of it must
wither as it falls from the hands of
the publisher. Of the surviving mass
‘an enormous number of works are de-
voted to the amusement of the tired
business ‘man, and the congenitally
bored and brainless., This overproduc-
tion has caused serious stoppage in the
flow of ideas. : j
‘ An article in the newspaper the other
day deplored the time wasted-by the
creative artist during his unproductive
periods. The moral was that the only
valuable member of society was the
business man, and the only excuse for
the existence of ‘the artist lay in his
ability to amuse, nay, “even to inspire”

was not occupied by the more worthy

mass-production of “entertaining lit-
