Markham Tells
How to Soothe
Visiting Ministers



Pyramids, »Italian ‘Counts
Have Figured: Luridly



When we went tn see Ginny
Markham, the new president of the
Bryn Mawr League, we found her
stretched out on the sofa reading,
appropriately enough, a chapter of
Saroyan’s, entitled “The Presby-
terian Choir Singers.” She prob-
ably could have given Aram some
pointers, for as head of Chapel
Committee during the past two
years she has had a good deal of
experience along ministerial lines.
Visiting preachers who arrive with
splits in their coattails have had
the garment whisked away from
them and neatly darned, and rec-
tors’ rubbers which get left be-
hind are filled with lollipops and
sent home to them. The last time
Ginny tried this trick, however, the
parcel got. heated on the way, and
the minister was unable to remove
his rubbers for days and days.

In spite of her urbane appear-
ance, Ginny hails from Wisconsin.
She was educated at Concord Acad-
emy, where she was head of the
House Committee and of the Satur-
day Club. This job entailed plan-
ning picnics and excursions, but
usually ended up by Ginny’s wash-
ing all the dishes, late at night.

Ginny spent what must. have

been a hectic year abroad. She

is evident that the same conscious-
ness of foreground design and bril-

the race, has been encouraged in
every case. As patterns with very
little modeling, these watercolors
are delightful, but the technical
limitations of their creators make
for a certain monotony, It is inter-

Farmers’ Market Offers Verdant Wares,

oo But Farmers Remain Romantically Silent



By Agnes Mason, *42
Scrapple and spring flowers,
Mennonite bonnets and hard head-
ed business men, we found, but the
human interest stories that we ex-
pected to gather at the Farmers’

Market weren’t forthcoming. The
farmers don’t think they are quaint
and don’t invite questions other
-than * those “pertaining to — sales.
They are agfeeable but busy.
You don’t get familiar with a
Pennsylvania Dutchman right off
the bat and you don’t violate his
business ethics with personality
questions. __(Even a News reporter
at 630 A. M. can sense this):
Lancaster Swiss cheese sells at 32
cents a pound, and for 15 vents

The white-painted booths on which
the produce is displayed rent at
two fifty a day. Generally more
than one section is required and the
fresh vegetable and egg man had
10 dollars worth. Although they
came from the south, his tightly
bunched asparagus and ripe toma-

associated from their chain-store
contemporaries. This same unso-
phisticated appearance clung to the
greenhouse sweetpeas. ~In the win-

pated, but all the produce at the

Irish Play Affords

Millay Play Efficiently Directed by M. Daly;

Producers Less Scope



By Olivia Kahn, ’41
Goodhart, March 8.—The ladies

Gregory and “Millay” were feted by
the members of Players Club to-
night. Both were given a pretty
good reception, even though’ Lady
Gregory’s Rising of the Moon was
shrouded in darkness so great that
those who were doing honor to her
name could scarcely be seen.

Aria da Capo, a fantasy by Edna
St. Vincent Millay, was whipped
into shape in a surprisingly short
time by Madge Daly, ’42. It af-
forded pleasing contrast between
the light careless banter of Pierrot
and Columbine, and the grim spec-
tacle of Death astride a cannon
cueing two shepherds engaged in
a dangerous game. At least one
face new to campus productions
emerged, that of Margaret Hol-
land, ’48, who played the role of
Corydon with unusual clarity and
simplicity. Although she appeared
at moments to be slightly nervous,
Miss Holland is an actress Players
Club should keep an eye on in their
future productions.

As Pierrot and Columbine, Eileen
Durning, ’41, and Jacqueline Block,
’44, were harminely callous, their
speech on the whole being better
under control than their actions.
Pods more time the scene might
|have been better paced. Miss
Durning gradually warmed to her
role and her performance was
somewhat better at thé end of the
play than when the curtain first
rose. Virginia Nichols, ’41, was a
convincing Thyrsis, and although



the role of Phyllis Wright, also ’41,
was, comparitively..minor, .with..the
aid of ingenious makeup she “made
her presence very strongly felt.

All in all the play was. successful
through the cooperation of director,
actors, and ‘scenic designers.
Somewhat less satisfying was the
production of The Rising of the
Moon. The responsibility for this
lies in the fact that the play does
not really afford sufficient oppor-
tunities for its producers to -test
their mettle. Unquestionably Vivi
French, ’42, did a fine job of di-
recting but the audience was left

with the uneasy feeling that the

play might have been given almost
as well with only a few hours of
rehearsal and small effort. The
fact that the stage was so dark
was, I believe, a serious fault, for
much of the detail of the acting
was thereby lost.

Julie Follansbee, ’41, was excel-
lent as the hero, strolling around
the stage with what appeared to be
‘complete confidence. Her voice,
piercing through the fog onstage,
was attractive, whether singing or
speaking, and her movements were
well controlled.

The sergeant, Mary Chadwick,
’44, and the two policemen, Mary
Ellis, 44, and Ann Denny, '43, did
fairly well, although. their. parts. did
not allow for much range in talent.
Perhaps it is heresy to tread on
sacred ground, but might, we sug-
gest the Irish theatre be given a
rest for a while?

Goodnight, Sweet Ladies

After four years of fun, frolic, galleys and glue, we are re-
linquishing the joys of our own journalistic activity. For suddenly
we must grapple with whatever it was we came to college to grapple
with, Comprehensives are elbowing us willy-nilly into. a gloomy,
silent seclusion, where roommates stop speaking to each other and
smiles unhampered are a thing of the past.

But among the smouldering ruins of our blasted hopes we
leave a veritable Phoenix of a new and newsy News board. As
we become mice of thought they become men-of action, We give
them our undying sympathy as they gather together the fragments
of an ill-spent régime on our chronicle of wasted time.



Alarums and Excursions

When we were told stories of dirty, politics during natiorial
elections most of us were shocked or at least we deplored a situa-
tion where coercion was so widely used to get votes...The explana-
tion was largely that people who listened did not know better and
that people who talked believed they did so for the good of all in
the long run. The explanations did not excuse the action and
many were the complaints voiced on campus.

Our community is supposed to consist of intelligent individuals
training themselves in the use of reason and believing in democracy.
With only 500 members, this community. should present the work-
ings of a democracy at its best. If the recent college elections
were the result of a perfect democratic process, then our faith in
the American way of life is seriously shaken,

Campaigning by friends of the candidates is to be expected
and views as to their relative merits are desirable. Arguments this
year, however, were chiefly bitter, malicious attacks against the
other candidates ; few advocated their nominee because of her own
ability. Thus the voting was more a negative than .a positive ex-
pression of the “people’s ‘will.” Freshmén were dictated to by
seniors as to how to vote and, lastly, ballot boxes were so obviously
stuffed that no element of doubt remained.

The reason for such action was probably that certain groups
thought they knew who was the right candidate and that if they
did not force vot®%, the “masses” would be fooled by the opposing
party. As soon as any such campaigning was begun, it became
cumulative : the opposers retaliated in self-defense, feeling increased
and nearly everyone was guilty of coercive talk.

.. Democracy presupposes trust in the judgment of the “masses.”
No matter how sure we are of being right, one price of democracy
is that we must not impose’ our will on othérs whether we are a
majority or a minority. We can try to educate others and show
we are right, but we must leave them freedom to decide. Voting

is of no value unless each individual casts her ballot for her own

Miss Reid

Common Room, March 11—With
the passage of the Lend-Lease Bill,
some war material was sent today
to England.and’ Greece, said Miss
Reid. Its specific identity was with-
held by President Roosevelt in a
press conference, with the agree-
ment of Army and Navy officials,
but indications seem to show that
a certain number of mosquito boats
formed part of the transaction.

Turning to the Balkan crisis,
Miss Reid said it seems fairly con-
clusive that, although Turkey is
saying little, she means to stand
by the terms of her military al-
liance with Great Britain. This |
view is inforced by a short news-
paper dispatch alleging that
Premier Molotov, foreign secretary
of the USSR told Turkey that
Russia had no objections to Tur-
key’s adhesion to her alliance-with
Great Britain.

According to the latest reports,
Germany has placed 100,000 troops
on the Bulgarian frontier in a
position to attack Greece. But, Miss
Reid said, Major George Fielding
Eliot, noted strategist, has point-
ed out that these same troops can
be used to attack, instead of south-
eastward, ' into Greece, directly
eastward into the Ukrane. The an-
nexation of the Ukrane, rich in
grain and oil resources, has al-
ways been one of Hitler’s. objec-
tives, as announced in Mein Kampf.
Russo-German relations have not
been those of complete good will
and such a conflict between the |
two is possible.

In recent weeks, Nazi prestige
and influence has risen in South
America, probably the result of
the formula “nothing succeeds like
success,” South America being im-
pressed by Germany’s recent tri-
umphs in the Balkans which raised
the number of countries under Ger-
man occupation to 12. Such a de-
velopment makes the efforts toward
pan-Americanism harder, with the
further complication that both
Germany and the United States in
their moves for influence are pac-
ing their attempts against time.

Last week Ursinus played rings |
around Bryn Mawr to set up a first
team score of 37-29, and a second
team score of 29-13. The more
athletic visitors were accurate and |
fast, though small, and the games
were one-sided in their favor. The

varsity. showed plenty of energy,
but not enough successful passing.

munities where races are mixed
much more has been contributed to
civilization than in isolated, pure
groups. And yet politicians, social
classes, and nations have used and
still are using race as a principal
scape-goat.

Today youth also has been made

is taken into account, it is seen that
youth, brought up to think success
to be personal indepedence, has
been humiliated by its actual ex-
perience in unemployment. It is
the normal reaction for it to “or-
ganize to gnash its teeth.”

Women, who 20 years ago were
the recognized minority group,
have now been merged with men on
a co-operative basis, and it is hoped
that labor, the pressure group of
today, will soon follow a similar
course. The abolition of discrimi-
nation settled the sex problem, and
it should be the cure for all
minority groups.

The other way to approach the
problem of essential and artificial
characteristics in society is
through special privileges. These
also are found to depend upon tri-
vialities in some primitive tribes
on neck-rings, or obesity, for in-
stance. :

The criteria for both privileges
and minorities have been set up by
tradition. The more extreme the
custom, the more a tribe will sacri-
fice to maintain it, until some,
‘because blood-feuds are traditional,
commit tribal suicide.

In closing, Miss Benedict wished
to emphasize the fact that ‘these
systems of minority groups and
special ‘privileges are not fated or

Otis Skinner presented eight of her

an enthusiastic audience last Fri-

a variety of moods and subjects,
and exhibited Miss Skinner’s skill
in acting, her humor, and her fine
ability to comprehend characters





Goodhart, March 5. — “The
Hoover Food Plan for feeding the
small democracies of Europe is not
an experiment, it is a machinery,”
began Mr. Milton Brown of the
Belgian Relief Fund, Inc., speaking
in the Common Room on Thursday
evening, at 7.30. He outlined the
mechanisms of this machinéry as
it worked from 1914-23 and as it
would be worked now.

It is first necessary to ascertain,
Mr. Brown said, the subsistence
level of the nation in need, then
find out the amount of native pro-
duce. The exact difference (never
a pound more nor less) must be
imported under the plan, which
differs from emergency relief in
that every bit of food is com-
mandeered and must be obtained
daily by presentation of a food
card. Thus, it becomes an exact
science and any loss of food is im-
mediately discovered. In the last
war whenever German thievery oc-
curred, the commission reported it
to high German officials and every
ounce was paid -back.

Under this plan, 387 million
people in Belgium, Norway, Hol-
land and Poland, countries who
have appealed to the United States
for this aid, would be fed. The
food would be bought by gold re-

in a fancy Fifth Avenue dress
shop, a Russian princess, a model
with a Bronx accent and a hang-
over, a wealthy buyer, and a
pathetic, harrassed fitter. Each
character was a complete and com-
prehensible entity and Miss Skin-
nér changed character with amaz-
ing’ rapidity.

English Gardens portrayed an
English woman in a London sub-
urb on an evening in September,
1940. She defied Hitler with
casual British indifference and
deep unspoken courage as she sat
with her husband and listened to
the drone of bombers overhead.
The monologue was realistic and
finished and created a dramatic
tension which the audience seemed
unwilling to break.

In a lighter, more humorous vein
were Christmas Morning, The
Facts of Life, Motoring in the
Nineties, and Being Presented. The
first of these was a familiar and
delightful rendition of a typical
home scene. The Facts of Life
handled a difficult subject with
deftness and humor. Miss, Skinner

Development of Astronomical

Measurements Described
By A. H. Wilson



Common Room, March 11—In a
lecture sponsored by the Science
Club, Dr. A. H. Wilson, of Haver-
ford, traced. the development of
methods in measuring the distance
of stars ‘from the earth.

The Greek astronomers consider-
-ed the universe to be relatively small
because they believed that the sun
revolved around the earth which
remained stationary. If this had
been true, the sun would have to
_ have been: fairly. close or else be
traveling at an impossible speed.
In 15438, when Copernicus discov-

ered that the earth revolved on its |

axis and around the sun, new in-

vestigation was begun which cul--

minated in the discovereries of
Newton.
of the universe must be more than
ten billion miles because if any star
as large as the sun were closer
than that, it would have a notice-
able gravitational pull.

Since that time, a photometric
method of measuring has been dis-
covered which employs the use of
the spectrum of the light from each

of the stars. The distance of the

can be calculated. A_ statistical
method, using average measure-
ments of a class of stars has also
been successful in finding certain
distances.

Now our universe has been so
widened that it contains a disc-
shaped galaxy surrounded by star
clusters several hundred thousand
years away. Beyond those, it is
probable that there are other uni-

far—as_five hundred million light

seem to be, on the one Hand, that of

the Indians themseWes engaged in



various occupatioris and ceremonies, |
and on the other, animal scenes
ranging frofn the natural to the
purely faitastic.

“One of the more striking exam-
ples ef the first group is the Taos
Royind Dance of Vicenti Mirabile,
wv Taos Pueblo, which is character-
istic in its circular composition, its
repetition of formulas throughout
the group, and its magnificent col-
or. Another interesting one is the
Kachinas by, Fred Kabotie, a Hopi,
who is himself a teacher. This
shows three men dressed as the
spirits of the dead in a tribal cere-
mony, and has unusual traces of-
modeling and shading. On _ the
other hand, the picture called,
Burying the Baby, by an Apache,
Allen Houset, is an extraordinary
subject for an Indian‘to portray, as
most of the tribes have an exag-
gerated fear of the mere mention
of death in the immediate sense.

Finally, for its suggestion-of mo-.

tion, the Yarbi-chai (Navajo

Bagay, is outstanding.

In the animal-scenes, three speci-

T’S simple logic: You get nothing from a cigarette until
you light it. For the qualities you enjoy are in the smoke

itself. The smoke’s the thing.

And those qualities depend considerably upon the way

your cigarette burns.

Camels burn slower—definitely. That’s a well-established
scientific finding. That means Camels give you extra mild-

ness, extra coolness, extra flavor.

Now science confirms another important advantage of
slower burning — extra freedom shen nicotine in the smoke!

And the smoke’s the thing!

\ Bryn Mawr in First
Meet of the Season



' Friday, -March 6—The Baldwin
School outswam the Bryn Mawr
Varsity Swimming Team by a
score of 42-38. The. School’s ex-
citement at winning a collegiate
meet stimulated the Baldwin spec-
tators and was not affected by the
snow outside. Bryn Mawr’s form
provided more competition than its
‘speed. The forty-yard free-style
fell to Baldwin’s lightning work.

The diving first place was snatched
by the School, but Hedge, 44, of
Bryn Mawr took second. In the 50-
yard back-stroke a record for the
Baldwin pool was set at 39 seconds
by a member of the winning team.
Bryn Mawr felt abashed at losing
the first meet. of the year, but the
meet was a fast one and the
visitors consoled them with tea.

Concerning B. Eddy Who Pulled Out a Plug
And Why She Wasn’t Left Long in the Dark



The Third Bryn Mawr Fire!
This time the scene was Rhoads
North basement and the hour—
just about bedtime for Betty Eddy.
As she pulled her light plug out
of the wall, flames enveloped her
and her room. No one thought to
get the fire extinguishers which
happened to be kept on the wall
right outside her door; no one even
thought of ringing the fire-bell no-
tifying the eaptain.

The fire undoubtedly would have
burned all night if Miss Hait, col-
lege diatician, and Harrison,
Rhoads porter, had not just ‘hap-
pened to remember the extinguish-
ers and heroically put an end to
the blaze.

Two News reporters, and a cam-
eraman, who was mercilessly pulled

ut of bed for the occasion, arrived

in time to take a picture of Miss
Hait attacking the charred rem-
nants with a mop.

If we fear that, once at war, we |
will have to adopt totalitarian |
methods, we have accepted the|
fascist conception of the state as a |
machine, and have denied the dem-
ocratic right to control and to
change our government.

Rosalind Wright, continuing the
interventionists’ argument, stated
that England should be aided in
winning the war as quickly as pos-
sible. After her victory,-a better |
world order can be established; and
the United States, having aided
Britain, will be influential in the
peace. In a Nazi-+dominated world,
we would be helpless. Our trade-
relationship with South America is
not strong .enough, and South
America is nearer to Africa, and
thus to German territory, than to
the United States. We would be

‘ alone in the world, and would be
