CURRENT EVENTS

(Gleaned from Mr. Fenwick)

When Mr. Roosevelt took office in
1933, he had “a beautiful dream’’—he
would remake the Tennessee valley.
He dreamed of damming the river at
strategic places and of building model
homes for the poor tenant farmers.
Messrs. A. E. Morgan, H. Morgan
and Lilienthal, the “triumvirate of the
T. V. A.,” have now dispelled that
dream by their falling out. Electrical
power, if generated, must be sold. Mr.
Lilienthal. was dealing with the Com-
monwealth and Southern Company,
which controls the sale of electricity
in the Tennessee region. The schism
has brought all such negotiations to a
standstill.

Mr. MeNutt, a ’ possible sirenidentlat
candidate, raised again the question of
independence for the Philippines in
1946. Congress says that the islands
might make the suggestion themselves,
and President Quezon is trying des-
perately to find a way out of the
Fearing Japan, he does not
want independence, but dares not say
so since he would foment opposition
at home and risk losing all he has
fought for in the last 30 years.

Last Thursday Mr. Cordell’ Hull
in a speech dealing with the isolation
policy of Congress, -warned against
the spread of international anarchy.
Triumph of the isolationist’ attitude
would precipitate the world into a
mediaeval chaos. Hull, prevented by
Congress from taking any direct
action, has adopted a course by which
we parallel the moves of countries







whose objectives are the same as ours.

This is a weak stand; but one com-
mon to all democracies, where there
iseio one voice dictating policies.
Poland’s greatest problem since 1920
has been to hold her own against Ger-
many. Seeing the rest of Europe busy
with other problems, Poland issued an
ultimatum to Lithuania. In 1920 the
problem had been who should have
Vilna. While the matter was being
discussed, -Poland took it. Lithuania
has been on a kind of sit down strike
ever since, refusing to mark. the bor-
ders, receive Polish ministers, or
issue visas for travelin Poland. Last
week, backed by an army of 250 ‘thou-
sand men, Poland massed troops on
the border. _ France and Russia avert-
ed war by persuading Lithuania to
yield. “There seems. little ey that
if Poland had entered Lithuania, Ger-

many would have gotten back Memel,|

a port under autonomous government,
directed by the League, but under. the
dominion of Lithuania.

Russia is worried. She faces at-
tack from the east and west, and Lit-
vinoff is advocating a meeting of all
the nations to discuss mutual protec-
tion. “The outlaw among nations” is
now urging the principle of interna-
tional security. No one trusts Russia.
Her internal state of panic-driven
purging has not built up faith.

Britain is still unable to make up
her mind. Chamberlain has urged all
possible concessions to Germany. Act-
ing accordingly, Czechoslovakia made
a deal with the three “activist”? Ger-
man parties on the western and south-
ern borders whereby they will have
proportional representation in govern-
ment and will get a proportional share
of relief. These German areas are
industrial, and have been hard hit by
the depression which has helped stir

1941 Wins Interclass
Swimming Competition

we

High-Point Cup to M. H. De Wolf;
J. Braucher Runner-Up





Gymnasium, March 21.—The second
of the annual series of two interclass
swimming meets was held Monday
afternoons with the freshman emerg-
ing unchallenged victors, after win-
ning laurels in a large majority of
events. The sophomores. somewhat: re-
deemed their defeat of last week by
coming in second, with seniors and
juniors in third and fourth places, re-
spectively.

These interclass swimming meets,
says Miss Brady, are in some ways
more interesting than those of the var-
sity, since they bring out numbers of
people who normally evince little or no
interest in swimming from one sum-
mer to the next. - The competitions are
characterized by a friendly rivalry and
lack of restraint not found in more
serious matches, and the spirit of
abandon is heightened by the fact that
spectators are few; almost everyone is
competing. #

Both personal high-point cups for

a ; sooe
proficiency in diving and general
aquatic excellency for the two meets
were won by Mary Howe De Wolf, ’38,
while Jane Braucher, ’38, in swim-
ming, and E, Webster, ’88, and P.

Half of Season’s Games Won
By Varsity; Second Team
' -Defeated Once .





(Especially contributed by P. Jaffer,
41.)

Gymnasium, Saturday, March 19.—
The Bryn Mawr basketball team ended
its season with an exciting game
against Rosemont. Although Rose-
mont emerged victorious, Bryn Mawr
proved to be hard opposition.

The visitors were ahead at the half,
‘17-12, but by the end of the third
quarter the Bryn Mawr team had
gained a two-point lead. The scoring
attack was led by Dave Bakewell, the
captain, who made four consecutive
baskets. The guards, Ferrer, Martin
and Hutchins, were playing their best
game.

Play was close during the last quar-
ter, but Rosemont succeeded in re-
gaining their earlier position. The
final score was Rosemont 30, Bryn
Mawr 28.

Giltinan, of Rosemont, was high
scorer, accounting for 19 _ points.
Dave Bakewell and Connie Ligon each
scored 12 points for Bryn Mawr.

Swarthmore Defeats
Bryn Mawr Swimmers



C. Ligon Sets New Pool Record;
Link, Kirk Win Diving



March 18.—The Bryn Mawr Varsity

swimming team lost to Swarthmore

by a score of 35.5 to 45.5 in the Bryn
Mawr pool. Our team, handicapped
by the absence of five experienced
members, put up a strong fight and
the meet was much more closely con-
tested than the final score indicates.

Connie Ligon, ’40, broke the. pool|

record set by Margaret Wiley, ’36, in
the 40-yard freestyle event. Her new
mark was 238.6 seconds; the previous
one was 24.4 seconds.

Helen Stuart Link, ’40, took first
place in the diving from Watson, of
Swarthmore. Kathleen Kirk, ’41,-de-
serves much credit for being third in
this event, as she is not a regular diver

on the team and had practiced con-f

scientiously for this meet when she
found she had to fill in.

Results:

40-yard freestyle—Ligon (B. M.),

Alwyne Recital in Lyric
Mood Pleases Audience |

Selections From Rachmaninoff,
Schumann, Mozart. Played
With Charm

(Especially Sa by Patricia





Robinson, ’39.)

Goodhart Hall, March 21.—The key-
note of Mr. Alwyne’s piano recital
was charm, and he himself glossed
the efitire program with his own pe-
culiar grace. Not in several years
has there been such a large and ap-
preciative group of listeners, and
Alwyne surpassed himself in*his-per-«~
formance. The selections were.drawn
from the works of Bach, Mozart, Schu-
mann, Brahms, Pick- Manigiagalli and —
Rachmaninoff, with two encores—
Rachmaninoff again, and Debussy.
Perhaps the one criticism which can
be made of. the program is that it
seemed to strike the same _ note
throughout. Even the Bach Chromatie
Flintasie and Fugue was lyrical and
serene.

The Mozart Sonata in D major can
never be anything but delightful and
Mr. Alwyne played it with great
clarity and gracefulness.. The Brahms
Ballade in D and. the Capriccio in’ B
minor brought ‘out these same*quali-
ties in the performer. The Kreisleri-
ana of Schumann fared less / well.
Whether the acoustics of Goodhart
Hall rebel.against Schumann, or not
is hard to say, but he never seems to
receive full justice there. /In Miss
Hess’ recital last year, as in this, the
tone seemed to be slightly muddled
and the pleasant intricacy of the
thought lost in a blur.

The audience enjoyed the Danse
d’Olaf, of Pick-Mangiagalli, a gay,
willow-the-wisp piece which expressed
well its faery theme: The program
concluded with four works of Rach-
maninoff, nicely balanced between the
heroic and the lyrical. The two
Etudes Tableaux, together with the ©
Chromatic Fantagie which started the
programme, were the only composi-
tions which escaped from the “charm-
ing’ class. Perhaps had more such
works been scattered through the’ pro-
gram, the whole would have been
better pun¢tuated. However, . the

lyric mood was well susthined by Mr.
Alwyne and we shall remember his
recital as a very enjoyable one.
