International Event;
Broadcasts Planned
International Students’ Day will
be observed on November 17 in
colleges and universities through-
out the world, it was announced by
Trude W, Pratt, General Secretary |
of International Student Service.
The purpose of the Day is to com-
memorate the closing of the Czech
universities and the brutal murder
of over 160 Czech students by the
Nazis in Prague on November. 17, |
1989. At the same time observance |
of International Students’ Day will |
manifest the determination of the!
free students of the world to fight
through to victory. :
Plans for International Students’
\
|
'
Day are already far advanced,
Mrs. Pratt said. The- Interna-
tional Student Assembly, which
met in Washington, D. C., from
September 2 to 5, unanimously |
adopted a resolution calling on its
53 national affiliates to plan for
suitable observances.
United States colleges are plan-
ning convocations, chapel services
and general meetings which will |
be addressed by educators, schol- |
ars-in-exile and students. A two
minute period of silence at 11 A.
M. will honor those who have lost
their lives in the struggle for de-
mocracy.
Radio broadcasts ‘are being
scheduled in England which will be
carried to the United States by one,
of the major broadcasting systems.
Many college and local stations
will have broadcasts prepared by
groups of students.
Students from every college in families, where the second front!and her superb sense of timing
the New York Metropolitan area
are planning to hold a huge meet- |
ing in the Great Hall at Hunter|
College on the evening of Novem-
ber 17.
Many organizations are cooper-
ating in planning the Day. The
Office of War Information has
promised that reports of American
observances will be broadcast by
short-wave to all occupied coun-
tries. The Inter-Allied Informa-
tion Service has prepared a pam-
phlet for distribution. American
Youth for a Free World, a group
recently organized by the Free
World Association, is planning a
series of meetings.
International Students’ Day was
first observed in England in 1940.
Last year colleges in China, Cuba,
Great Britain, India, the United
States and South America partici-
pated in elaborate ceremonies.
First Season Match |
Sees Ow] Ursinus Tie,
i}
October 28.—The Hockey Team
played its first game of the season
today, against Ursinus, resulting
in a tie, 2-2. In the first half of |
the game the team was slow. The:
backfield is composed mostly of
new members. All of Jast year’s |
backs, except one, graduated.
The Owl forward line, however,
is fast. Except for one new player, |’
Maisie Hardenbergh, the line-up
of the offensive players remains the
same. Owing to their experience
in playing together they know
when to pass and to whom. They
are light-footed and dribble with
apparent speed and ease. Pat
Murnaghan finally got away, at
the end of the first half, to force
a hare shot into the goal and make
the score 2-1 in favor of Ursinus.

WIT*S END
We feel strongly that, the time
has come for us to write a book
that will be a testament to the
grandeur and nobility of the hu-
man soul, not to mention those
people who cannot alienate that
which is most true within them.
It is perhaps just as well that we
have. never let out what is most
true within us, but that is beside
the point. We think it is time
for someone to write about the
girls who escaped from the car-
nage of Bryn Mawr, clad only in
a khaki uniform with the belt and
three hundred and eleven snipers.
Are you a Hamlet in uniform?
The question of the second front
remains. Bryn Mawr, with its
unfailing resourcefulness and sa-
voir faire, has, we know, opened a
front. If that sounds abrupt to
you, just brood about it. This
front inaugurates, for Hitler and
us, a period of watchful waiting.
During this time we (italicized),
each and every one of us, are go-
ing slowly to wear down the
United States’ Senate. This ac-
complished, we will nurse the sick
at the Bryn Mawr Hospital. , The
sick have not yet been consulted,
but we are gambling on the chance
that they’ll be too weak to resist.
With the streets of Stalingrad red
with blood, a few corpses here and
there—
|The left side of the forward line,
No communication has _ so say |
been received from Hitler. This is |
all right, as there has been no!
communication received from our
has been waging for years now.
The Spartans on the sea wet
rock sat down and combed their
hair.
Then there was that time Flynn
told me to go into the next room.
There he helped me disrobe. All of
which reminds me of a long story
about Henry of Navarre which I
am certainly not going to tell here.
What with the leaves falling from
the trees and time’s winged chariot
at my back. Why time has to bring
his damned chariot behind my back
at all. Sometimes I hear voices.
Other times the beat of the jungle
throbs in my veins, and I try to get
through to Dr. Leary. Pass me
the can, boys, said Sam the idiot
boy. At this all the other children
in the school yard fell cheerfully
into the chase and pursued Sam
through the village, laughing glee-
fully.
If I could only get in touch with
my mother to let her know what
has happened. In any event, I
think her tears will have to follow
me to hell. It should never have
happened this way. The words re-
main but the face in the Istrian
sun is forgotten. Nothing is left
but the handful of ashes under the
yew tree, the work on the farm,
those U. S. 0. dances. And always
the lingering hope’.
Intercollegiate ‘Tein
Selects Four of Owls
At Saturday Tryouts
Four of Bryn Mawr’s_ hockey
team were chosen to play on the
Intercollegiate eleven on Saturday
when eight teams of local colleges
competed on the Owls’ field. Mar-
gie Perkins, 48, and Frannie Mat-
thai, ’48, made the first team, while
Connie Lazo and Nancy Scribner,
both ’44, are second team members.
Each college _— played three |
matches. Bryn Mawr’s first against |
Misericordia offered no competi-
tion for Owl brilliance. The for-
wards swarmed Misericordia’s
striking circle, the defense seeking
unemployment compensation for
the entire twenty minutes.
Having gained confidence in scor-
ing against their first opponents,
the Owls went on to tackle Beaver.
Pat Murnaghan scored a fabulous
goal, dribbling the ball down a
third of the field, dodging all de-
fense. The entire match was swift,
each contender having good team-
work.
Temple and Bryn Mawr were
the most evenly matched. The play
was steady rather than showing
much brilliance, and the halfbacks
and fulls came in for more work
than in previous periods.
Bryn Mawr appeared with the
same forward line as last year.
especially, played together like
clockwork. Everyone commented |
on Margie Perkins’ performance, |
the best right half the Intercol-;
legiate team has had for years. |
The technical beauty of her shots
combine to make her play seem
almost effortless.
Frannie Matthai, playing out of
forward position, shows that she
is an equally capable halfback,
always fast and sure. The two
wings elected to the Intercollegi-
ate demonstrated their ability by
their consistently swift play.
Other teams trying in the
matches were Drexel, Rosemont,
Misericordia, Temple, Ursinus,
Beaver, Swarthmore, and the Uni-|
versity of Pennsylvania. The Bryn
Mawr lineup is as follows:
