Coordination, Effective Singing
Mark Performance of Pirates
By. Nancy Evarts, ’43
Goodhart, April 26.—The Glee
Ciub this year presented as its an-
nual production The Pirates of
Penzance. The performance, al-
though slow and somewhat lifeless
in places, exhibited for the most
part melodious singing and co-or-
dination on the part of the cast.
The choruses sang and acted with
-a vitality which contributed ma-
terially to the integration of the
production. The girls’ chorus sus-
tained throughout a quality of na-
turalness and lightness which was
especially effective. One of the
high points of the second act was
the entrance of the policemen who
were at the same time impressive
and amusing with their uniforms,
deep voices and expressively roll-
ing eyes.
Most of the principals were more
successful in their singing than in
their acting. This was particularly
true of Virginia Sherwood in the
role-of- the Major General... While
she sang with proficiency, and while
her diction, especially in the pat-
ter song, surpassed that of anyone
else in the cast, she seemed stiff
and perfunctory in saying her
lines.
Exceptions to the general in-
adequacy of the acting were Louise
Allen, who played the part of Mabel
with a delicacy and poise which
matched the seeming effortlessness
of her singing, and Margot Dethier,
who added a convincing portrayal
Dozens of Dragons
Donated for British
Ten dozen snapdragons, donated
weekly by Dr. Leary and her hus-
band, Mr. Wells, for the benefit of
British War Relief, will be avail-
able every Friday morning. Dora
Benedict, ’44, will sell five dozen
between 12 and one o’clock under
the tree with the bench just in
front of the Library. The other
five dozen are being sold by Mary
Meigs. They may be ordered in
advance and will be délivered on
Friday. The: flowers are extremely
handsome, long-stemmed, pink and

Kay Tappen, the small, agitated
sergeant of police, displayed a re-
markably deep voice and a talent
for comedy.
The second act, with the virile
policemen’s chorus, the lively trio
of A Most Ingenious Patadox, and
the contrast of the quiet duet by
Louise Allen and Carla Adelt,
moved more quickly than the first.
The first act, however, was _ par-
ticulraly striking from the point of
view of color, and the large amount
of time and energy spent on the
scenery produced eminently suc-
cessful results.
More attention might have been
paid to intelligent emphasis of
lines, accurate diction and varied
pace, and less to stylized téch-
niques such as traditional business |
used by the D’Oyly Carte Company,
for the production was least suc-
cessful in mastering the mechanics
of acting. Lines were spoken mo-
notonously; sometimes they could
not be heard; the actors made few
gestures and were slow in picking
up their cues. There was some-
times a feeling that they were dis-
passionately performing stunts.
It seems more important that an

4, in the Deanery, at 8.15 P. M.
This will be the third of. the series
of talks sponsored by the Amer-

Dr. Carpenter has_ extensive
knowledge of Mediterranean coun-
tries and peoples. He knows not
only their history, but their topog-
raphy and contemporary condi-
tions, as he has traveled and lived
in-these countries and is acquainted
with their ancient and modern lan-
guages.
Turkey, one of the crucial areas
in the near-Eastern situation, has
been studied by Dr. Broughton at
first hand. He knows its geog-
raphy and resources and has him-
self traveled its roads and coastal
region.

Last Straw Aims at Puns
That Don’t Pall;
Couple Win Success With Amateur Coking
By Anne Denny, ’43
“The Last Straw” is that eating
place where Bryn Mawr girls are
found only at ten minutes to two,
breaking the management’s neck
with a two o’clock deadline. This
straw is of the variety to which a
drowning man clings, and the suc-
cess story of the place bears on the
literal meaning of the name. -
Hammering nails into~an old
building which nearly. fell apart
at every stroke, the McKinneys be-
gan their venture into “amateur
eoking.” Finishing the inside
themselves, curtains and all, the
man and his poetic wife then set
to sprinkling their menu with fresh
a quick wit. The menu promises.
anything from “A Plebian-hot dog
to you,” through “A Whopper-you
guess,” to “Jokes You’ve All Heard
—But We Never Have Before.”
As the Press sat down for three
cokes, the management let us in on
|| the inside-of-the-kitchen story: No
meat over 24 hours old, all guar-
anteed pure cow, salubrious
amounts of rich butter, and (we
ourselves peeked in) cleanest of
surroundings. Begun last year,
the little establishment had to ex-
pand after a few months, in spite
of the closing of the Lancaster
Pike. So the couple’s last hope was
rewarded by its mainstays, Hav-
erford and Rosemont, by its loyal
supporters the main line younger
crowd, and by a scattering of Bryn
Mawr.
Haverford provides the waiters
and the printing of the menu (de-
signed entirely by the McKinneys),
as well as a large appetite.
“Everything’s on the honor system
for Haverford,” says the manage-
ment. ‘Our cash register’s open
to “Ahem, and never a loss yet.”
é lack of beer is an intentional
sed door to Villanova. The milk-.,

juke box tickles your ears and the

“Everything is aimed to please”:
the small fry are provided with
balloons (the large fry take more)
and. patrons are requested not to
beef about the steak because “you
will be old and tough yourself some
day.” Chiefly blessed with that
quiet atmosphere that comes from
eating with “appetiteful” purpose
in quiet corner booths, the “Straw”
tries to provide that last. straw to
your evening and puns which don’t

In Our Opinion . .
So war is an all-important topic! And the News has been
accused of a failure to express editorial opinion. The News board
is composed of some twenty people—there is no lack of opinion:
the opinion is very strong, very definite—and varied. The News
cannot agree on a unified stand. We therefore, in the coming
weeks will publish a Second Editorial Column in which the mem-
bers of the staff will express their opinions as individuals.
This week we have two things to say. Let there be opinion
on the whole campus: clear, reasonable, definite opinion, And let
there be out-spoken expression of the opinion. Let the minority
groups have the conviction to stand up and destroy the social
silences which are arising between disagreeing factions. Let people
think—clearly, and talk—with courage. Let the faculty tolerate
varied ideas among its own members as .well as recognize them
among the students,
Solidity of opinion is not so often a sign of the strength of a
group as a whole, as it is an indication of the fear and submission
of a few.

Wars and Rumors of Wars
The Yale News, that oldest College Daily, has an enterprising
reporter named Ralph H. Major, Jr. Mr. Major has just returned
from Washington with some bits of news that are rather surprising.
His sources, he admits, are in general unconfirmed and unofficial,
but reliable. His story is interesting, even if inaccurate.
Mr. Major talked to Senators, Representatives, Ambassadors
and Secretaries, defense officials and Senate committeemen. All
Washington he says, believes, although reluctantly, that war will|
come to the United States by midsummer. Britain’s chances are
much poorer than the conscientious United States newspapers would
have you think. The government was considering sending A. E. F.
to Greece, but when the end of the campaign came so soon, the idea
was abandoned. However, the Eastern Atlantic Fleet and an air-
craft carrier have already sailed under sealed orders, probably for
the Mediterranean or the Persian Gulf. ‘The War Department,
which has plans for an American offensive in any part of the world,
is working daily on the material for the establishment of an ex-
peditionary base in Egypt.
A new draft day will be set for July first, with the age limit
lowered to 18. Only 106 votes against convoys can be wrung
from the House of Representatives. Turkey, Washington expects,
will follow the Axis, but the German Embassy, without any factual
information, expects that Hitler will not move further into the
east but will strike next at Gibraltar or the British Isles them-
selves. Willkie, on his return from Britain, brought the definite
news that Britain could not win. Churchill hinted to him that there
would be a negotiated peace, with Germany dominant in Europe,
but British territory intact, by next fall. This opinion was con-
firmed by three individuals.
All of this news may be false, but it may also be true. And
all of it is “off the record.” Therein lies the danger. If any of it
is true, and has not yet been officially disclosed, rumors which must
remain unverified are more than censorship, they are sabotage of
the press. To lull the country into a false feeling of security is
certainly not honest, it is undeniably dangerous. Confidence in the
sincerity and the intentions of the government rests upon a knowl-
edge that the press has free access to the facts and ideas which the
public should know, and that no important information has been
withheld, ; as “off the record.”

To the Editor of the
NEWS:
cisms in the News of: all the. Col-
lege musical. events. Throughout
the year I have followed them
closely. The. articles on the whole
have been very poor. They show a
lack of judgement and have no
originality of thought whatever.
Each. article consists of a list, of
‘| the compositions with a few weak,
ineffective adjectives sandwiched in
here and there. Those predomin-
ating are “sweet,” “charming,”
“strong,” and others equally non-
descriptive. The critic seems to
have a slap-dash sarcastic attitude
toward all our musical presenta-
tions.
The criticism of the Paul Robe-
son concert was exceptionally bad.
It was again full of meaningless
and badly chosen adjectives. “His
voice is strong and sweet. He can
use it incredibly well, and some-
times does.” These are only two
quoted sentences to illustrate my
point. In addition the mere by-the-
by mention of the Sinfonietta-
String Quartet’s contributions
showed very poor. taste. When we
are fortunate enough to have great
artists here at College, the criti-
cism ought to be intelligent at
least.

resents the College through its wide
outside circulation. The articles

music department, but readers will
never realize that through the criti-
cisms presented them. They give a
very poor impression of the writ-
er’s musical discrimination.
I would suggest that the music
editor be a student who is inter-
ested in music and has a full knowl-
edge of the subject. The criticisms
would then be valuable judgements
well worth reading instead of item-
ized accounts.

Goodhart and the News music critic
would say coldly, “In the light of
world conditions, the first section
of Mr. Gabriel’s program was not
particularly well chosen. After the
intermission he did better, and
managed to put over You Can’t Get
to Heaven by means of a voice
which he sometimes uses remark-
ably well.”
Such was the tone, not only cool
but condescending, adopted by the
News in the review of the concert
by Paul Robeson and the Simfoni-
etta String Quartet. With scarcely
a word of praise, and with not a
single word of gratitude did the re-
esty, though in this case she could
have been both honest and enthusi-
astic. It was not only a magnifi-
cent concert, but a magnificent ges-
ture, too, for Mr. Robeson was giv-
ing a benefit performance for “our

tee. Goodhart was packed, and the
audience so responsive that to say
Mr. Robeson merely ‘‘put it over”
is the extremest understatement.
This letter is meant, however,
only partly as a protest, more spe-
cifically it attempts to echo the vox
populi, The music critic of_ the
News may feel the way she likes,
just so she and subscribers to the
News know that hundreds of other
people came away from the concert
in quite another frame of mind.
These people, free from the burden
of critical responsibility, were
thankful to have heard Mr. Robe-
son, enormously grateful to him,
and proud above all that this great
singer should choose to help the
Chinese through Bryn Mawr.

“Now we have waited long
enough. We have seen the Greeks
go down and we have heard the
words of a Greek: ‘On October 28
Roosevelt pledged America’s com-
plete aid to Greece, but not a single
cartridge has yet arrived from the
United States,’ Greece held on no
longer. Like other modern small
countries, even one or two modern
big countries, Greece found that
brave men cannot indefinitely fight
airplanes with rifles.
“Now we have waited long
enough. We hear that Greece has
fallen, and on the same _ radio
broadcast we hear that the United
States is sending Britain some
ships—‘small ships, twenty torpedo
boats.’ It is travesty in the midst
of tragedy. We cannot laugh,
though; only shake our heads in
dumb amazement.
“‘All over the world men are wait-
ing for you. In Greece, in Yugo-
slavia, in Norway, in France, in
Belgium, in Holland, in Poland, you
are the only hope of men who.
fought and lost. In England, you
are the only hope of men who are
still fighting. It must be that in
Germany itself there are men who
think of you as the only hope.
“In America we, too, hope. We
know that your action is the only
thing left that can change the
course of the world. Because we
know that, although the soldiers of
the British Empire have fought
longer and harder and better than
any other soldiers, they cannot
fight alone and poorly armed for-
ever.
“Now we have waited long
enough. We have seen the United
States slowly move toward war,
through conscription, industrial de-
fense mobilization and the lend- |
lease act; we have known that it
moved too slowly.
“We have not produced enough
guns, tanks, airplanes, bombs.
“We have not supplied the ships
to carry what we have produced

“Now we ask you to order com-

country on war-time lines. We ask
you to set in motion the executive

will stop the farce of producing
automobiles, washing machines,

to maintain business as usual. We
do not wish to die, so we seek rea-
sons for avoiding war. Our logic
compels us to the warlike answer:
so we rat on our logic and turn off
our conviction with the craven
phrase ‘all aid short of war.’ In
a world given over to war and
bound to be shaped and determined
by war, we strike for peace.
“We are not our best selves when
we do this. The loudest voices are
those crying peace, ‘peace; when
there is no peace. In the Congress

hatred of war, blind themselves
to the consequences of refusing to
wage war when it becomes essen-

now ask you to override these
voices, to override the personal dis-
taste for death and armies held by
every one of us, and to make us
our best selves by waging war.

The people will not make up their
minds that this is war unless we
fight it. We will never win so

“CHARLES G. BOLTE.”
It was suggested to me that it
would be interesting for The Col-
lege News occasionally to set up
an exchange column for reprints of
student expression in other colleges
on the war. While I myself would
not put the emphasis exactly as it
does, Mr. Bolte’s letter neverthe-
less seems to me a sturdy expres-
sion of a definite point of view, to
say the least, Other letters or edi-
torials can be found expressing
similar or widely differing atti-
tudes. Or if they cannot be found,
Mr. Bolte’s opinion might provoke
the writing of letters on our own
campus on a subject that has been
singularly absent from the public
opinion and editorial columns of
the News this year.
Sincerely yours,

Survey Shows Student Opinion Pessimistic;
Majority Do Not Fear Faculty Propaganda
Many Believe U. S. in Effect
At War With Germany
By Student Opinion Surveys
Austin, Texas, April 28.—Re-
garding the war, campus opinion is
again today shown on the pessimis-
tie side.
Step by step, we near every day,
the United States is getting. closer
to war. The nation’s youth, many
of whom are already in the service
of the country, look on apprehen-
sively. College men mark time in
1 call to the draft army. Bull ses-
sion topic number-one is this: “Will
we have to fight Germany again?
When?” oa
But modern war has taken a new
twist. Few countries have officially
“declared war’ recently. Others,
and especially the United States,
appear to be fighting economically
and diplomatically without the ac-
tual shooting of guns.
Does college opinion hold that
our aid to Britain and other de-
mocracies, our attitude toward Ger-
many, in effect constitutes “war”?
To bring campus thought into .fo-
cus on a nation-wide basis, Student
Opinion Surveys of America pre-
sented this question to a sampling
of the enrollment: “Would you say
that the United States is in effect
already at war with Germany?”
The results:
YES, said
ING OR ee pa
(Only 1.3 per cent said they had no!
opinion on this issue.)
Three-quarters is a heavy ma-,
jority and leaves no doubt as to the!
tenor of student opinion regarding
our current part in the European
conflict. This is not to say, how-
ever, that American students want
to go to war. In numerous polls
Student Opinion Surveys has found
college youth favors doing all we
can to stay out. A few months
ago a majority disagreed with the
general public (Gallup poll) in,
saying that it is more important!
to try to keep out of war than to|
help England, at the risk of being;
involved.
But this latest survey again
brings out the rather pessimistic
attitude expressed last month: that
a slight majority believe the U. S.
will eventually have to fight.

Attempts at Influence
By Student Opinion Surveys
Austin, Texas, April 28.—The
Dies committee has often pointed
a finger at colleges and universi-
ties in various parts of the na-
tion, sometimes accusing faculty
members for the spread of un-
American “ism.” Just how much
such propaganda is being spread
through pedagogical methods will
perhaps never be accurately known.
But it is possible to measure at
least ‘how many students think at-
tempts are being made to influence
them. Student Opinion Surveys of
America has taken the question di-
rectly to the collegians who some
defenders of Americanism claim
are being taught to believe in the
“wrong”’ doctrines:
“Have you ever felt that a
faculty member’ while teach-
ing a class was attempt-
ing to influence you in _ fa-
vor of nazism, fascism, commun-
ism, or socialism?” The answers
of a representative sample of stu-
dents were:
No
Yes
Yes, but apparently not pur-
posely 3%
The above figures must be inter-
preted with reservations: The stu-
dents who answered were typical
American collegians, and all class-
es .of students were represented,
but each student’s own definition
of the “isms” and of what consti-
tutes propaganda in favor of those
doctrines no doubt conditioned each
answer. Just the same, these are
the answers they gave to the ques-
tion, asked everywhere exactly as
worded.
Perhaps even more. significant
than the mere figures above is the
fact that the poll makes possible
the location of the sections of the
country where students believe this
“teaching” of isms is more preval-
ent. The Eastern schools repre-
sented in the survey show a much
larger. proportion answering in the
affirmative, while in the South and
especially the West only a few stu-
dents say they have detected any
attempts to influence them.

Conference at Yale Discusses
/ Government Opportunities
For Students
By Isabel Martin, ’42
Last week the Conference on
Government Opportunities opened
at Yale University with an in-
augural address by Newbold
Morris, President of the New York
City Council. Mr. Morris attacked
the attitude of cynicism and com-
placency towards our democracy.
Democracy is never so near death
as when nobody cares about it; the
worst thing we can do is to aban-
don belief in our way of life.
The time has now come, he stated,
when politics has ceased to be con-
trolled by a small group. It has
been taken out of the back room
and into the open.
Henry F. Hubbard, of the Coun-
cil of Personnel Administration,
supplemented this address with. a
discussion on bridging the gap be-
tween college work and a govern-
ment career. He said that the
public is inclined to think only of
not limited to the class room.
Again this year in February, Stu-
dent Opinion Surveys found the
loudest cry in that same section of
the country for continued — study
and definition of the “isms” in their
college classes as a need for safe-
guarding democracy—with the pro-
vision that. in such courses there
should be “teaching, not .preach-
ing.”
the federal branch of service and
to forget the state and municipal
branches where there is so much
opportunity. The respect for gov-
ernment careers is growing, and
with the integration of the various
civil service departments the help
of college graduates will- be made
available where it is so vitally
needed. a

Yale University has taken steps
to provide for those members of
the undergraduate body who are
being called for military service.
These students will be remitted
without examination if. no more
than three years elapses between
their withdrawal and return. Those
students withdrawing before the
end of the year will be given a
year’s ¢redit by completing make-
up examinations. Both Yale and
Harvard have made provisions to
refund part of the tuition and
board for students leaving before
the end of the year.
Engineering defense-training
courses will also be established at
Yale in an attempt to integrate
academic and defense needs.

Two Williams students have be-
gun a house party room-renting
agency. Already 150 beds have
been signed up in Williamstown
houses and inns, and renting has
begun. Next year it is hoped that
the organization will be able to
operate for all college week-ends.
This type of agency helps the un-
dergraduates to get recommended
rooms easily, and so alleviates the
terrific strain and bustle of the
last minute room-obtaining ordeal.

Kreuger, Nye Speak —
At Anti-War Meeting’
Present Conditions Compared
With the Events Leading
To World War
Philadelphia, April 23. — May-
nard Kreuger and Senator Gerald
P. Nye were the main speakers at
a students’ anti-war meeting held
in. Town Hall last Wednesday
evening. Mr. Kreuger, the 1940
vice-presidential candidate of the
. Socialist Party, explained that be-
cause of recent economic condi-
tions in this country democracy is
on the defensive, and he suggested
that a war does not promote eco-
nomic well-being. Senator Nye
identified the events which led us
into the first World War with
,_/ those which are taking place today.
Seeds of Fascism Here
Mr. Kreuger mentioned Huey
Long and the economic and social
conditions prevalent in the United
States today as evidence of seeds
‘from which fascism is likely to
spring. Too many people, said
Mr. Kreuger, fail to differentiate
between..Hitler and Hitlerism. He
pointed out that “Peace and Un-
employment” is not a very good
slogan, but he believes that the
economic problems of this country
can be solved.
Advises Referendum
Unlike the countries of Europe,
the United States is fortunate in
the fact that “if we want to keep
out of war we can keep out of
war.”’Mr. Kreuger advocates a war
referendum. The majority of our
military experts deny the danger
of invasion. Mr. Kreuger doubts
that our economy can withstand
another war, and he advises those
who would like to see the survival
of democracy in this country “to
work for the revision of the eco-
nomic system, a job which can only
be done by staying out of war.”
Outlines War Steps
Senator Nye re-enforced Mr.
Kreuger’s argument, saying that
“the depression had us licked,” and
that now Mr. Roosevelt, ignoring
his Chatauqua speech of 19386 when
he said that “if ever it comes to a
choice between peace and profit,
America will choose . peace,” was
leading the nation toward war.
Senator Nye outlined the main
steps toward war: 1) the repeal
of the arms embargo, 2) the Lend-
Lease Bill, and 3) the convoy pro-
posal. These measures trace the
abandonment of the famous “cash
and carry clause’ which was de-
stined to keep the United States
out of r. America is .under-
writing Great Britain with a seven
billion dollar loan. “The burden
of the last war is still unpaid and
if we take on another burden, how
strong will we be?”
Criticizes Press
Senator Nye said that the iden-
tical propaganda is being used to
get us into the war now as was
used in 1914, and suggested that
we consider the Indian proverb, “If
white man fool Indian once, shame
on white man. If white man fool
Indian twice, shame on Indian.”
The Senator criticized the press
for repressing one side of the news,
but he said that in the past week
the American people had begun to
see through the “short of war”
talk.

theory of a military invasion— of.

Philadelphia Housing Author-
ity Fights to Continue
“lim Crow” Policy
By Jessie Stone, ’44
The Philadelphia Housing Au-
thority is now engaged in a strug-
gle—but not against City Council.
It isn’t asking for a new project.
It just wants to be left alone and
allowed to continue its “Jim Crow
Policy,” according to Bernard
Childs, Chairman of the Tenant’s
League of Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Housing Au-
thority has passed resolutions and
released statements declaring its
racial policy to be fair and free of
discrimination. However, the Na-
tional Association for the Advance-
ment of Colored People, the Ten-
ant’s League, and several Friends’
groups have found that the actual
practices of the Philadelphia. Hous-
ing Authority spell discrimination
against Negroes. The Philadel-
phia Housing Authority seems to
reason this way. The Glenwood
Project of five hundred and thirty-
five dwellings is to be a predomin-
antly Negro establishment. On the
other hand, the project at Tasker
Street, is planned to be almost
“lily white.” The recently com-
pleted Tasker Street project houses
one thousand families. At this
point seven hundred apartments are
occupied and of these families six
or seven are Negro. The Phila-
delphia Housing Authority has
given no indication that it intends
to increase the Negro percentage.
As a result, the National Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of
Colored Peoples, the
League, the Friends’ groups, and
other interested, public-spirited
groups and individuals formed an
investigating committee to look into
the behavior of the Philadelphia
Housing Authority. The P. H. A.
openly admitted its policy was dis-
criminatory, but felt impelled to}
add that they thought such a plan
was for the better interests of all
concerned,
Convinced that Jim Crow in the
P. H. A. was no myth, the investi-
gating committee called a Protest
Meeting at Allen Temple. A reso-
lution was passed to institute a
British navy fall, and said that the
British navy is the only one that
has ever attacked us in this con-
tinent. Stating that our foreign
trade amounted to only 3% of our
total trade, Nye said that in any
case Great Britain had always been
our greatest trade rival. If we
wish to support England on the
basis that the Germans are “pesky
aggressors,” we are acting incon-
sistently, considering the history
of Great Britain. If the United
States no longer cares for the ad-
vice of its founders, Washington
and Jefferson, the words of a mod-|
ern American, Ray Wilbur Lyman,
President of Stanford University,
might be considered, “If anyone
thinks we can go out and bring
others around to our purpose, he
has a Hitler complex.”

the P. H. A., in order to get an
injunction to stop discrimination in
the housing projects.
The P. H. A., stirred by the
reverberations of an aroused public
opinion, apparently recoiled and

M. Lerner to Speak
On Problems of War
Max Lerner, professor of po-
litical science at Williams College,
will speak for the International
| Relations Club on Wednesday, May
6. Mr. Lerner plans to examine
the position of various groups in
this country on the question of in-
tervention or isolation, the nature
of the war and how it can be won.
He will examine the problem of
the organization of our defense as
connected with morale and _ the
meaning of the ideas of “democr-
tic war’ and: “a _ democratic
defense.”
Roland Randall, its Chairman,
i forthwith, called an Emergency
Committee Meeting. Thé P. H. A.
obviously believes in cooling-off
periods. It proceeds without haste
and with deliberation. Finally art
un-official statement was given out
and soon rumor had it that one
hundred Negro families were to
move into the Tasker Street Proj-
ect. It was said, as the word was
joyfully passed around, that the
P. H. A. was to follow the Neigh-
borhood Plan advocated by the pro-
testing groups. This plan provides
that in each project the percent-
ages of Negroes and Whites shall
equal their respective percentages

League, said that the Investigating
Committee considered it vague, and
ambiguous. The resolution did not
attempt to define the limit of the
much for later investigation and
considered itself vindicated by as-
suring the protestors that it
would try to follow the neighbor-
hood plan “as far as possible.”
It is a truism that Philadelphia
public opinion is lethargic—but in
this case it was aroused and the P.
H. A.:couldn’t stem the tide of pub-
lic furor. The situation is not yet
settled. Roland: Randall was
obliged to call another Emergency
Committee Meeting. If its plans
are no more satisfactory to the

British Women Serve
In Military and Givil |
Defense of England
The importance of women’s de-
fense work in England and Amer-
ica was stressed by,Miss Mary,
McGeachy and Mrs. John F. Lewis,
Jr., in the Deanery on Sunday. In
England women are doing technical
work in military services, while
less. specialized workers aré hand-
ling the larger job of civil defense
in the rural areas of England.
Women defense workers have been
organized in America only a year,
in preparation of future emer-
gency.
English Example
Miss McGeachy, who is at the
'British Embassy in Washington,
|said that, although the defense of
England is different from that of
‘America, Americans can follow
: England’s example, and also find it
‘of objective interest. Defense of
‘England means preparation for
total attack by’ total defense, and
| includes two phases, the military
and the civil.
Women are serving in all mili-
tary services, doing the highly
| specialized work accessory to train-
‘ing—the secretarial work, plane-
|
\ferrying and other menial tasks—
ithus freeing men to fight.
Civil Defense
The greatest amount of work
being done by women in England
‘now, however, is in the Women’s
, Voluntary Service, the civil defense
branch. This service was ‘started
with a small corps of skilled civil
igervice workers, who knew all the
ropes of local government, and has
{increased to an organization which
includes the whole country. Eng-
land is divided into 13 areas, each
with an independent unit of civil
defense, each headed by a govern-
ment commissioner and an officer of
the W. V. S.
Placed in their home districts,
the volunteers help train and re-
cruit people for service. Before
the war, the far-sighted W. V. S.
had set up evacuation homes,
trained ambulance drivers, and
practiced driving in blackouts. :
_ Dispersal of Population
The evacuation of children and
factory people was their big job,
when the W. V. S. also took the
opportunity to increase _ public

government after the war.
The W. V. S. has provided and
been a factor in saving materials,
collecting salvage, aluminum, scrap
metals and paper. Through its
work the W. V. S. has provided a
“cement” for national defense, and
entertainment for shut-in people.
In. general it-has “served the: peo-
ple who serve.”
American Volunteers
Mrs. John F. Lewis, who is the
chairman of the Women’s Home
Defense Association, described the
experimental volunteer work pro-
ceeding in Philadelphia which, she
said, is preparing for a more seri-
ous and.immediate emergency.
The new organization relies on
the responsibility of each com-
munity. The first concrete objec-
tive of the Association is the for-
mation of a geentral voluntary
placement bureau to register and
train women and to enlist them in
social agencies now.
Organization
The W. H. D. A. finds some
training now essential, in order
to avoid unnecessary agitation
later. The Emergency Aid and
others have set up motor mechanic
corps and nurse’s aid courses. On
May 1, a_ volunteer placement
bureau is opening at 1428 Walnut
Street, formed to work closely
with the Mayor’s defense council.
Even if the emergency does not
become acute, the volunteer work
is good for social agencies; and if
the service of the volunteers be-
come necessary, the preliminary
work is done. The organization
has worked only with the fees of
local agencies: and registration of
its members, but hopes to fit in
government backing later.

Each spring a budget of receipts
and appropriations must be pre-
pared in order to plan for the
following year. Every appropria-
tion must be carefully analyzed in
order to avoid the danger of ap-
propriating more than the esti-
mated receipts as no endowed in-
stitution can plan to spend for
operating a sum in. excess of the
estimated income. Not having the
power arbitrarily to tax either the
deficits, there is only one source
from which deficits can be met and
that is.“gifts” which cannot be
counted upon until received. There-
fore, the budget must be balanced
before it is approved.
In calculating the budget, the
students get the full benefit of the
|entire investment in the plant as
‘only the maintenance charges are
budgeted. Another way of ex-
pressing this is: The $12,000,000,
representing the value of the plant
jand endowment, provides for not
more than 600 students and, there-
fore, for each of these students
there is a total of $20,000 invested
which* has a present income value
of about $800. Accordingly, each
student benefits to the value of
$800. per. year beyond the fees
which she actually pays.
Each year the problem of balanc-
ing the budget becomes increas-
ingly difficult as the rate of return
on invested endowment has steadily
decreased for more than ten years.
An illustration of this is: For
every $100,000 of endowment which
is producing income today we re-
ceive only -$4,360, whereas ten
years ago we received a return of
, $5,020 on the same amount, a de-
crease of 13.1%. In addition to
this we are confronted this year
with increased cost of food,’ fuel,
and all supplies required for oper-
ating and maintenance. Further,
the actual salaries for academic
administration, ‘deans, . teaching,

To Broadcast May ll
The National Youth Administra-
tion will sponsor a special radio
broadcast of one of its Negro choral
groups from the Hyde Park home
of President Roosevelt, Sunday,
May 11, from 5.80 to 6 P. M., over
N. B. €. Red Network.
Mrs. Roosevelt will speak during
the broadcast and the N. Y. A.
Philadelphia’ Negro Chorus will
present. Jules Bledsoe’s Ode to
America in its initial radio per-
formance.
“This broadcast will be heard on
the last day of National Music
Week”: Aubrey Williams, N. Y. A.
administrator announced, “we feel
that such a program of Negro mu-
sic is a fitting tribute to the con-
tribution which the Negro race
has made to American music. We
are also proud to present over the
air one of the many fine Negro
thusical groups which have been de-
veloped by the N. Y. A.”
The N. Y. A. Philadelphia

sion. . The decolations took their
cue from the operetta which pre-
ceded the dance. Pirates fought
policemen and ladies curtseyed all
over the camoflaged gym walls.
An extra detail was the castle
which took the place of the time
worn laurel over the posture bars.
Although a voice in the crowd was
heard to remark, “No matter what
you do to a gym, it’s still a gym,”
an exceedingly good job had been
done until the castle began to fall
down,
The well’ known music of Tom
Garside furnished the background
for this festive treatment of an
old subject. It was noticeably con-
centrated in the dark end of the
room; where an intermingling’ of
stags searched desperately for the
last good find.
The sub-freshmen, were shocked
to find they could cut in an any-
one, just anyone. They looked lost
when told that the dance would last
until two o’clock. “What! do they
do nothing but dance all that
time?” one of them asked. Some-
how, however, a considerable num-
ber of people managed to do it and
to return to their halls at an un-
certain hour of the morning, to be
determined by a decision as_ to
who was on daylight saving time
when, and how long they weren’t.

Mr. Cleland Diseiiies
Church’s Value Today
Goodhart, April 27.—Mr. James
T. Cleland, professor of religion at
Amherst College, conducted chapel
services in the Music Room on Sun-
day evening and preached on. the
importance of the Church today.
“Has it any immediate value, or is
the Church just another Ivory
Tower?”
Although it is felt that we can-
not today accept everything in the
Jewish-Christian tradition, there
is much, Mr. Cleland believes,
which: we'can respect; for this tra-
dition is the basis of our western
civilization. One of the principle
values of the Church then is that
it gives us an opportunity to wor-
ship a God Whom we respect and
Who is the most important fact in
our lives.
In a world which is today mor-
ally ugly and chaotic, most of us
are in a state of “excited ignor-
ance, immensely but unintelligently
interested; caught between the
Scylla of Raymond Gram Swing
and the Charybdis of Dorothy |
Thompson.’”’ No-matter how little
or much of its creed we accept,

[Buster Cope Strikes Out Fourteen Owls; | :.. .
Blue-Bonnet and the Daring Dogfish Romp urrent bes
By Jacquie Ballard, ’43
Sunday, April 27.—It was proved
by two biology professors, “Blue
Bonnet” Berry and “Dogfish”
Doyle, that although the brains
may be pickled in Dalton, the
brawn comes out on the baseball
field. Their brilliant offensive and
defensive play helped the Faculty
overcome the Owls 21-10, Sunday
afternoon.
The fabulous Faculty had a three
run lead at the end of the first
inning, which they increased dur-
ing the remainder of the game.
Pitcher Cope didn’t exactly hand-
cuff the Owls, for he gave up a
gentle stream of hits and runs, but
this was like the trickle of a brook
compared to the mighty ocean surge
of blows garnered by the Faculty.
“the Church,’: Mr. Cleland
pointed out, “gives us an oppor-
tunity to keep the spirit sensitive
in the midst of a world that numbs
our finer feelings.”’.
At the informal] discussion which
followed, Mr. Cleland spoke further
on his subject with continued en-
thusiasm and clarity. After the
abstracts and wordiness of many
chapel speakers, Mr. Cleland’s
listeners were appreciative of the
Scotch humor and sincerity which
made all his statements forceful.

Hardest hit in this Spring
splurge of drama has been the
Stage Guild. Light-workers and
costumer’s, undoubtedly, have bitter
tales to tell, but this will be a
saga of scenery-crews.
Stage-workers, an exceptionally
level-headed lot themselves, lead a
life surrounded by temperament.
Out in front is the director, whose
whims change with the wind, and
back-stage is the cast, to whom the
delicate balance between a prop and
a flat means little. Perhaps no
asm, gurgle dutifully, “Oh, and
we aré so grateful to all those
people who worked so hard on the
scenery.” Yet unsung though these
toilers are, it is hard to find a
bunch more supremely self-satis-
fied.
This. might be a good time to
make the public announcement that
the concrete and p'pe thing behind:
Goodhart, so long fraught with
mystery, turns out to be neither a
squash court nor a dance floor, but

Avenue, Bryn Mawr, houses more
than 1,000 dolls. She used to

in her basement, but this year she
has exhib:ted them

There are dolls ranging all the
way from 300 years of age to the
most modern golden-haired Shirley
Temple; there are Indians, a drum
major, demure sun-bonnetted lad-
ies, boy dolls;. girl dolls, mama
dolls, small dolls, large dolls and
medium sized dols. In fact, they
come from France, Italy, Germany,
Switzerland, Poland, Russia, Swed-
en;~China, Japan, England and
there are even some all-wooden
dolls, called ‘“‘Schénenhuts,” which
were miade right here in Philadel-
phia. There are three completely
furnished doll houses, the oldest of
which has been photographed for
