The, basketball game Saturday morn-
ing. March 2,.Wwas a total disappoint-
ment. Varsity walked away with a 47-6
victory, but the game’ was sadly devoid
of excitement and spectacular playwig. It
does not seem . possible that the Buc-
caneers . who played*such a_ consistent
game against Baltimore :several weeks
~ ago could be the same team that took

such a “licking” Saturday morning. sh
Varsity shad no competition so it is
hard to judge the merits of the players.
“ is safe to .say sthat the team did not
play as well as it did in the last varsity
game. Rasch, who graduated from sec-
‘ond to first varsity, looked promising.
She is quick, alert, and acctrate, and
“plays well with Totten. Baer, in center,
and Freeman’ and McCully, | guards,
' played the smoothest and most depend-
very hard. Blane ard was wild. Her
passes were hard, fast and_inaccurate.
While it did not matter very much
where the ball was thrown, on Saturday, |
it. might make a very material difference
in a; close game:
As for the Buccaneers the least said
the’ bétter.. Saturday must have been
their off day for in spite of Miss Brady’s
valiant efforts and frequent shifts in the
lineup they not have a prayer.
In most games when victory is assured
the subs are run in at the beginning or
during the last quarter. This seemed the
logical thing to do Saturday. It not only.

= Opportunities for Study
in France Unusually Many
“Opportunities for studying in France
- during the summer. are more numerous
this-year than they-have been-for-several
seasons,” said ‘Miss Shenk in chapel on
Friday morning, March 1.
In Paris the Sorbonne offers’ 2 a refifar
course in French Language and Litera-,
ture, June -30-August 10; and an
Academic Tour, August: 12-21, which will

one given by Professor Baldensperger on
the Contemporary Novel. The cost,’ from
June 30 to August 21, is between $200 and
$300, including living, tuition, excursions
and trips.
The.Alliance ‘Francaise, also in Paris,
offers two series of courses in-the French
Language and _ Litérature; from July 1-
30, and from August 1-31. The cost in-
volved is ridiculously cheap; 140 francs
a month ($5.60).
The Institut de Bhonetinae 4 is repeating
the courses it has offered for the last
several yeats. They include intensive
work in small discussion groups and are
intended for-studentswho wish to perfect
their pronunciation. The first series runs
from July -15-August 3; and the second,
from August 5-24. Cost: 200 francs.
In the provinces tuition averages about
$8.a-month,_living, $1.50 to $2-a-day,and

Goodhart Radio Gives

A radio installed’ in the Common
Room through the efforts of Virginia
Fain on Monday morning did much to
make up to those politically-minded stu-
dents who. wanted to be in Washington
but were not, by bringing the ceremonies
of the inauguration within their aiditéry
reach,
Beginning somewhat feebly, the~ radio
found its voice just as the chaplain was
asking a blessing. on the day’s events,
tien lapsed into silence, and finally came
out loud ‘and clear in time for the most
important-parts of the program. A large}
crowd of very silent listeners was
gathered in the Common Room to hear
What Hoover would have to say in this
first public utterance since the election.
The swearing in of new Senators, .and
the process of removal from the Chamber
of the Senate to the west front of the
Capitol was made vivid to the listeners
by two sprightly radio) announcers and
the chief clerk.of the Senate, famous as
the man who first |announceéd _ that
“Alabama gives twenty-four votes for
Oscar W. Underwood.”,| We were told
that Curtis: was. speaking to a lady, that

of variegated umbrellas to the landscape,

hand up to his chin, and) that the digni-
taries were reluctant to| sit down on
their damp chairs. We) were also in-
debted to Mr. J. F. Wile, veteran, if
ather absent-minded political announcer,
who described Senator \Shipstead, of
Missouri, as “That tall sycamore of the
plains.”
The voice of Chief Justice Taft, ad-
ministering the’ oath of office (and it
was an oath, not an affirmation) put the
tones of the announcers to\ shame, for
clarity .and resonance, and MHoover’s
answering ‘I. do” was likewise loud and |.
vigorous. His address, laying. emphasis
on judicial reorganization and prohibition |
and\ eloquent|’
enforcement, was short
enough for anyone to. readin the paper.
He expressed a wish that the United
States might enter the World Court, but
without abandoning her reservations; and
declared his’ intention of abiding by the
expsessed will of the people not to ham-
per her freedom of action by joining the
League of* Nations. In this connection
Dr. Fertwick wishes to refer the students
to Hoover’s statement concerning \ the
League of: Nations in 1920. The new
President indicated that the coming spe
cial session of Congress will deal with
Farm Relief and “limited Tariff reform.”
He affirmed his intention to keep the
Government ‘out of business, while re-
serving the right, however, to regulate
rigorously all Public Utilities and eeh-
courage co-operative. associations., He
indicated his. intention of reorganizing:
the administrative departments of govern-
ment, and furthering the practice .of
economy. ‘The rest of the address was
largely devoted to appreciation in not too
terms of peace, . progress,
prosperity and the American people.

What‘Is the Cross?
‘Cross Stands for Addition, Dr.
Steer Said at.
1 ¢ Veeper.
Drv Dotigias “Steere, Rhodes scholar to
aad now professor’ of - psy-
chology and philosophy at sHaverford
College, gave a most interesting talk at
the Vesper setvice of the Bryn. rae
League on Sunday evening, March 8,
the Music Room of Goodhart Hall.
The Lenten period, Dr,, Steere syggest-
ed to us, is one in which people are glad
to’ have redramatized for them the life
of one of the world’s: greatest personal-
ities. It represents the weeks in the most
intensive portion of Christ’s life and gives
us the most poignant realization of His
humanness. The great. symbol of the
period, as it is the symbol of. all Christian-
life, is thé Cross.
What, exactly, should the Cross mean
to -us? It should represent for us a
permanent and tangible Something, simple
enough for us to undérstantl in itself and
strong enough for us to grasp in. the
; countless crisés wepich besiege our lives.
Symbolically, Cross represents two
- the /
ideas. .
Cross Stands for #ragedy _
In the first place, the Cross stands for

has a curious effect upon us ; it quickens
the sense of the value of life and enables
us to. realize the triviality of minor an- ;
noyances. There were no bickerings in
the trenches; there was little fussing over
trifles; with Death so near at hand these
lesser things faded into the background.
And so the vision of the Cross makes’a
good many of our foibles seem insigni-
It changes our at- |-
ficant arid worthless.
titude toward life in general:
. When. Christ was faced with the
knowledge that He. would be crucified,
His thoughts were not those of despair.
He felt at once the great desire to carry
out all His endeavors, so that in the end
there might exist within Him a_feeling
of accomplishment. He gives out a new
challenge to ‘the disciples and clarifies
the vision of what -they must do, He
emphasizes the necessity of going on in
the remaining time with a new spirit of
consecration.
There the tragne element -in the
vision of thé Cross.: Death does come;
and it is impossible . to put off decisions
and to procrastinate’ in straightening out
the vexing entanglements which surround
us. We cannot afford to wait for the
“next step;” there is a certain intenseness
in the symbol’ which aes us realize the
need of “doing it now.’
“Cross Stands for ‘Addition
But the Cross stands for more than
this. It also stands for the vision of.

Christ as the Sign of Addition of our
lives. To illustrate this Dr. Douglas re-

Some. children were playing around” in
a. large field and being tired they sat down
at the foot’ of a Crucifix which stood
near by. Presently, Christ came down
from the Cross arkl} asked them what
they thought of Him. Two of them of-
fered an opinion on the subject, but the
third, excused by his friends as “stupid,”
could think of nothing to say.
Fifty years later the three were again
assembled in the same place. The oc-
casion was the dedication’of a church, at
which one of the three preached a great
The “stupid” one
had returned with the others, but he did
not go into the church. He stayed out-
side,.and when the sermon was over and
everyone had gone his way, he went out
into the field and sat down again at the
foot of the old Crucifix. Again Christ
came down and asked what he thought
of Him now. And the man answered that
he had always thought of Christ as a
sign in his arithmetic book—the sign of
addition, the power, which, combined
with the strength or weakness of the Self,
is the only thing which makes life at
times seem bearable.

Foreign and Domestic Problems
Outlined by Dr.
Smith.
Dr. William. Roy... Smith spoke” in
chapel on Monday morning, March 4, on
the problems that-are before the Presi-
dent.
and foreign, and: discussed the domestic
ones first. ;
The rearrangement of the administra-
tion departments-at Washington is very
important. “Many- of them overlap and
the taxpayers could be saved $5,000,000
a year, but some people would have to
be thrown out and this would necessarily
involve political opposition. The second
problem is that’ of the foreign immigra-
tion laws. The act of 1924 has been
postponed.twice and though the House
voted in favor of it on Sunday, the Sen-
ate adjourned and _ will probably let it go
until the “Special “session 1 in. April. The
third problem is that of farm relief, and
President Hoover is opposed to the Mc-
Nary-Haugen bill. He will probably. try
to institute a Federal farm board at
Washington and a_stabflization corpora-
In years

conflict between the extreme Republicans
and the more moderate Democrats headed
by Longworth, but Dr. Smith believes
that Hoover will be rather moderate, and
that there will only be great increases
where it is very urgent, or where foreign
competition is very keen. Difficulties will
undoubtedly arise, as was the.case wher

want a lower tariff. In the case of for-

The. sense of deep personal conviction,

of Fascism the country underwent not

COUNTRY CRANES A JUNK
COMMITTEE
Our attention. is called to an ar-
| ticle in’ The New York World: of
| March 4, entitled What to Wear Js.
Question Confrenting First ‘Ladies.
And here, we think, is a tragic sit-
uation. No insignificant personages
have maintained that the bi-cameral
system of this would-be democracy
has, long been threadbare. Like
the “First Ladies” it is confronted
with the need of a few patches to
cover up its inefficiencies. _
¢No honorable and on-the-job
government would allow its. first
ladies the worry of having to run
about wildly the day before inau-
guration trying to figure out just
what would appeal to the cotmntry
in the line of clothes. It is, obvi-
ously, the committee system which
is at fault. There are so many of
them now that Congress hates to
create any more. But actually, what
would put the bi-cameral system on
the-map (or in the Who's Who?)
again, would be appointment of a
committee whose express - purpose
would be to clothe the “first ladies”
on inauguration day. Everybody—
Congress, the country and_ the
ladies, would then be satisfied.

To the ContecE News: mee
The -purpose of this letter is to com-
plain of the extremely unkind and un-
gracious manner in which the CoLLeGr
News received the Freshman Show. °
The.tone_of. the entire review is
sounded in the opening: sentence “The
chief fault to be found. etc.” For, jot
content with simply commenting on. that
fault, the author. bases her -whole criti-
cism upon it, instead of upon the many
excellent qualities of the performance.
She makes caustic remarks about. the
long waits in between acts, but never
mentions the smoothness with which the
production ran throughout. Then, pro-
ceeding to the tumbling, she praises as
original the collapse of the pyramid, one
of the tumbling features in May Day, but
dismisses in a few sorry. words ‘the de-
lightful wit and cleverness of both the
lines—-and—the-acting—of-— the--caveman
scene.

The poverty of European students can-
not be comprehended by Americans. Lif
for them’ is a continua! struggle for exist- |
enc; they are face to face with the
grimness oflife, actualy feel the pangs!
of hunger often; really study in un-
heated rooms and shiver the while. They
have no. motor cars in’ which to dash
‘mal ily about-the country. Some of them ;
have moi
only “40 in some countries.
{
It is impossible for students to work
their way through the university, as many
American students are able to do, because
first place, and the money they would get
tor five’ hours’ work per day wouldn't
be enough to pay their expenses in the
second place. For example, one young
student at Sofia is working five hours a
day in a lawyer's office for less than $10
# month pay; so that it is ne@gssary for
his parents to supplement this amount
by another $:0 to meet the bare necessi-'
ties of his life at the university. Many
scholarships are offered by the state and |
Ly interested. organizations, to make 4a
vuiversity education-possible for the poor '
Lut capable student. In Budapest all}
good students can attend the university | |
even though financially unable to meet |
the expenses. If they will file a state-
ment of poverty the State wilf\ supply
the funds.
However, these scho'arships are often
very meager, and although they do assist
the students, they do not provide enough
tc make them comfortable orto relieve
them of the necessity of constantly
‘struggling “to make both ends meet." A
Sérbian.chap arrived at Geneva last year
with a ‘scholarship providing him with
‘$10 per month, and.-expected to make
that amount cover his expenses by a
process of self-denial. Of course, it was
impossible in the rather expensive city,
but—fortunately—Conrad_Hoffman—was.
able to use the Student Friendship Fund
from America, to meet the difference.
He also secured the student free lodging
w'th an interested family.
~—fhe story of the German Self-Help
movement is filled with similar situations,
although the condition of Germany
much better than that of the Balkan |
States. Some recent statistics gathered |
at the University of Sofia, Bulgaria, re-
veals. an alarming. situation among. the
-students fighting against poverty for an
Only 52 per cent. of the students of |
this university are able to eat three meals
per day. It was definitely discovered that
actually 23 -per—cent._of these students
have only one meal per day, and 25 per
cent. of them eat when it is possible,
ekeing out an existence on bread and
cheese when real meals are not possible.
Further it was reported that: 48 per
cent. of the..students receive less than
$12 per month to cover their expenses,
and 22 per cent. receive about $15, the
remainder a little bit more. If it were
only possible to visualize the . struggle
that goes om behind such cold statistics,
we could better understand why these
students are” older iti appearance—and
actiom than American students, and we
might also appreciate their extreme in-
terest in politics and international affairs.
Ferhaps we might-be-able to comprehend
ism..and_their_.serious-mindedness,_if we
could . penetrate the meaning _ of these
figures. |
They must be interested in een
international affairs; for there are the}
reparations demanding high . taxation,
which strikes directly at them; there are
the..problems..of foreign markets, of in-
dustrial ‘rehabilitation, agrarian - relief,
stabilization of money, conservation of
resources, etc., all of . which must be
solved, and upon the solution of which
depends their hope for better times in the
future,

national. Thus, almost every student takes
.
an active interest in politics, js well in-,
formed on foreign affairs, and is even
organized to assist the State in fighting
for_certain.-aims.....Fer example, Hun-
garian students are definitely organized
to appeal to America and England for a
reconsideration of the boundary lines of
Hungary _and for the return of ‘vast
areas of her’ former land. . The. Croate
sttidents are equally well organized to
appeal for .a government separate from
the Serbs, whom .they claim suppress
ti.em and trample upon their rights. And
so in. many cases there is. this excessive
nationalism among the students, swhich
they believe to be an economic necessity:
as well-as a guard to cultural achieve-
but which does fan ‘old hatreds,
and breed constant disturbance and. con-
flict.
But, these students meet their economic
situations in other very direct: and posi-
tive ways. The Student Self-Help move-
ment in Germany, the work of the}
Deutschen Studentenschraft in ‘finding
cheap board and room for students, and
in raising money to provide student
