MacKinnon Notes
Psychological Role
Of War in Society

Rate of Neuroticism Lower
Among Civilian Population
Than Military

Goodhart, November 30. Psy-
chological effects of the war upon
civilian and military personnel
were discussed by Mr. MacKinnon
in the War Alliance Assembly on
“War, Sanity, and Society.” Com-
paring war neurosis in the two
world wars, he commented also
upon psychological changes in the
attitude of enlisted men.

Among civilians really living
under the strain of war, such as
the citizens of bombed English cit-
ies, the number of cases of war
neurosis is extremely low. Civil-
ians stand up well under the im-
pact of total war. Many who have
previously been neurotic lose sym-.
toms of neurosis under the respon-
sibilities of wartime conditions.
Mr. MacKinnon said that this ci-





vilian reaction “is something more
than a tribute to the way in which |
human nature meets adversity. It
is a sad commentary on the extent
to which in modern competitive |
society ‘the frustrations of peace
may be more difficult to bear than
the traumatic experiences of war.”
Sharing Responsibilities

In cities under attack many ci-
vilians began for the first time to
feel themselves an important part
of a group. Sharing with others
in the same shelter the responsibil-
ity of surviving an attack, some
people for the first time found
themselves a necessary part of so-
ciety. Also the responsibility of
doing civilian’ air raid service sat-
isfied in many cases the desire to
be of some social value.

“There is no reason why we can-
not order our society so that these
_ satisfactions can be experienced in
peace as in war,” stated Mr. Mac-

Limp Ties and Varied Accents to Portray

|

Emotional Intensity in Players’ Production



Hildreth Dunn, 744

Letters in a girls’ boarding|!
school, war in a girls’. boarding
school; and how they fight it out
in “Letters to Lucerne”! ‘“We’re
all little beasts,” said one of the
actresses as she mounted the
stage, picked up her rag doll and
prepared to do battle. Goodhart’s
empty auditorium has _ witnessed
the rehearsals a number of times,
and will again before the Friday
and Saturday night performances.

The school’s inmates are of all
nationalities, and the plot centers
on one of six girls, head mistress-
es, spies and rumors thereof and
scenes of high emotional intensity.
Someone crashes down the stairs
(intentional and headfirst), the
fleeting ‘great lover’ wears Tyrol-
ean suspenders, and Mr. Nusbaum
says grimly: “The chairs are tac-
ky, all of them.” French is tossed
off at each crisis, a letter is “not
to be read, for the love of God!”
and a Haverford player is care-
fully instructed that the -ribbon
for his tie: must. be thoroughly
walked over to make it suitable.

The play presents the problem
of this heterogeneous group of
school-girls, as they turn against
their former friend and leader be-
cause of her German birth. There
are a variety of accents, neatly
managed. The alienated German
girl found her, solution. As she
explained to us, “I don’t attempt a
German one, I just stress the line
that says I had an English gover-
ness.”

Miller and Anderson
Analyze Newspapers

Periodical Room, November -29
and 30. The development and
characteristics of modern journal-
ism and the interpretation of ec-
onomic news reports were the
subjects of lectures by Mr. Miller
and Mrs. Anderson, comprising
the first half of the four-day news-
paper course, a Study of the
Press.

“To understand the. newspapers
of today, we must go back to the
‘yellow journalism’ of the days of
Pulitzer and Hearst,” declared
Mr.- Miller. This new development
in newspaper technique, which
flourished from 1892 until 1914,
caused a radical change in Amer-
ican journalism.

Crusades for the benefit of the
“Common Man” and _ organized
social welfare drives began to
play an important part in the news
printed in this period. Accom-

-panying this interest in the work-

ing classes was an attempt to pop-
ularize the papers, done through
extravagant use of large type,
sensational headlines seldom jus-
tified by the report, and the inclu-
sion of crime and human interest
stories. Although conservatism
has again seized the newspapers,
the era of ‘yellow journalism’,
said Mr. Miller, has left several
remnants in the papers of today,
notably the Sunday supplement
and the Woman’s Page. :
Nearly simultaneous with the
development of ‘yellow journal-
ism’ was the beginning of the
modern press associations — the
Associated Press, and the Interna-
tional News Service. While these
news services facilitate speedy and
efficient gathering of the news, Mr.
Miller pointed out that there is
always the danger of monopoly. as
was the case with the Associated

Press in the days prior to its re-

‘at last!

In the quieter moments of the |
rehearsal, the director battles with |

his players over what length skirt |
is manageable, what heels are |
heels, ete. “God help all poor |

children” he mutters as the curtain |
goes up late. Maybe it’s a line in|
the play. Our favorite was: “y|
might have known a man wouldn’t
come to a girl’s school to see his
sister!’ We deduced that that
was where the trouble started.

In the sparse minutes of relax-
ation for the players, the stage
crew takes over. Substitutes for
properties are one of their main|
specialties, while panelling half
the scenery takes up the rest of
their time. There is to be “gen-
eral illumination” on the first ‘and
third acts, we hear, but the second
will have its compensations.

Delegates of Alumnae
From Seven Colleges
Meet at Bryn Mawr



The Seyen College Conference
will hold its bi-annual meeting at
Bryn Mawr on December 2 and 3.
Representatives of the alumnae
organizations of Barnard, Bryn
Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe,
Smith, Vassar, and Wellesley will
be present,

The main topic of discussion
will be the new National Scholar-
ship Plan. The alumnae groups,
who play a large part in the se-
lection of scholarship students,
will consider their plans for the
distribution of scholarship awards





at this meeting. The rest of the}
meeting, which will be held in the
Alumnae Room of the Deanery,
will be concerned with other al-
umnae business.

Members of the conference, who
include the presidents and execu-
tive secretaries of the alumnae
organizations, will be entertained
by various members of the Fac-
ulty. Miss McBride will give a
dinner party and Mrs. Chadwick-
Collins is planning a tea. Mrs.
Robert Lewis, President of the
Bryn Mawr alumnae, will be hos-
tess at a luncheon.

Spanish Club to Give
Gay Comedy as Part

Of Christmas Fiesta



The Spanish Club’s first Christ-
mas play will be distinguished by
a humorous plot. Instead of pre-
senting the Nativity scenes which
are usually given in the language
houses, the Spanish House in Rad-
nor will start off the traditional
series of performances with a
Christmas fiesta on Tuesday, De-
cember 7, at 8:00. The play, La
Cueva de Salamanca, is only one
attraction of the general party to
which everyone is invited, wheth-
er they speak Spanish or not. The
evening will be a faithful repre-
sentation of the traditional Christ-
mas eve festivities in Spain.

Virginia Lee Nixon, ’44 is in
charge of the play, with Miss
Nepper and Miss Zuleta directing.
Pancracio will be played by Chloe
Walker, ’45, and his wife, Leonar-
da, by Marguerite Frost, ’46. The
role of Christina, the maid, will
be acted by Mickey Malaret, ’46,
while Alison Merrill, ’45, will take
the part of the village barber.

Glorified Showcases, Hollywood’s Pem Arch,

Filmed in ‘Our Hearts

Were Young and Gay’



By Mary Virginia More, °45
Bryn Mawr. has hit the screen
In the film version of
“Our Hearts Were Young and
Gay,” Emily Kimbrough and Cor-
nelia~ Otis-Skinner,—co-authoresses
of the book, are shown wheri stud-
ents at Bryn Mawr, class of ’23.
Miss Kimbrough, technical adviser
for the film, when interviewed, de-
scribed incidents connected with
the production.

The action starts at Bryn Mawr,
a Bryn Mawr realistically por-
trayed — show-cases, Pembroke
Arch, Gym, hoops and_ lanterns,
College News and all. If the show
cases are rather glorified, if Pem-
broke Arch is just. a permanent
Hollywood stand-by, and if the
Gym is really that of the YMCA
in Los Angeles, who is to know
the difference? :

The 1923 Bryn Mawr girls’ main
concern in life was to acquire a
“line”. Without one, life offered
no possibilities, and for one she
was willing. to dish out her last
cent in lessons. “Emily” and-“Gor-
nelia” decide that to acquire. real
sophistication, they must go



‘ abroad—where they might come

into contact with men! (Especially
older men... even Frenchmen!).

Plunging into a description of
some of the difficulties encounter-

_eddue to the necessarily restrict-

ed form of film writing, Miss Kim-
brough stressed the small frames
in which: action must be enclosed.
Also so much more detail is nec-
essary in a film than in a book
that in order to condense the story
to the time allotted, every scene
portrayed must be essential to the

plot..

Due to technical difficulties,
some episodes from the book had

to be omitted, among these, that,
Instead, |

two young English girls come to.
Emily on the deck and ask her to,
join the ship’s pool. Emily is
charmed and delighted and goes
below to don a. bathing suit, hav-
ing successfullly © misinterpreted
the word “pool”. Simultaneously,
a life boat drill is anounced, -and
Emily has to go up, clad as is.

ticipation in the activities on the campus.

Rejuvenation

The fall of 1943 has seen an increased interest and par-
Coming after a
period of inexplicable inertia and lack of spirit on the part
of students, this unparalleled activity is now the mark of
nearly every organization on campus.

Clubs of long standing and rather nebulous functions
have presented concrete programs to the Undergraduate
Association which contrast sharply with the spasmodic teas
and occasional speakers of past years. With the foundation
of the Spanish House, the Spanish Club has been rejuvenat-
ed; other language clubs have instituted regular meetings.
Particularly indicative of the increased activity is the rela-
tively new Radio Club, with its growing variety of programs,
its work in engineering, production, special features and its
two new courses. Clubs practically dormant in former years
have come forward—the Art Club, the Record Library, and
the International Relations Club, which has bi-monthly dis-
cussions of current problems with the Haverford and Rose-
mont clubs.

The War Alliance, with its courses and work largely
formulated in the past two years, has received this fall its
greatest response from the undergraduates with the regis-
tration of 425 people for war work. The students’ prefer-

_ence is notably for actual work rather than training courses.

“we

The assemblies, more frequent since the Alliance got under-
way sooner in obtaining speakers, have been and continue to
be well-attended.

Activity does not stop with the clubs and the Alliance,
however; indications of it can be seen elsewhere. Under a
new system, thi Sub-Freshman committee has achiev-
ed a closer conrrection between Freshman and S. A. and has
continued its work beyond the first weeks. The Undergrad-
uate Council has taken concrete steps this year toward great-
er efficiency and integration of campus organizations.

Such an increase in general interest and activity on a
campus which for years has suffered from a supposedly in-
curable case of inertia cannot be explained by a single fac-

_tor.._It did not begin on December 7, 1941, nor did it reflect}

the increased pace of the war world of 1942-43. Students
indeed had to be practically coerced into attending assem-
blies on current affairs; Alliance discussions were attended
by a scant five or six; the clubs continued in their leisurely
and all-too-traditional way.

In part, the activity comes from a basically better or-
ganization, strengthened by more able presidents of the sep-
arate groups, who, as individuals, have given more time and
ingenuity to their work. Further, the fact that the restric-
tions on Freshman activities, which often discouraged future
participation, has been lifted for the first time must be tak-
en into account.

Together these factors have cieieniina a more enthus-
iastic spirit on the part of students. We hope that such a
high level of activity may be maintained.

the extension after December 31 of the Commodity Credit





Exhibition in Library
Of Mohammedan Art
From Lewis Collection



A display of Persian miniatures
calligraphy and bronzes, — lent
through the courtesy of the Free
Library of Philadelphia from the
John Frederick Lewis collection, is
on exhibition in the Rare Book
Room of the Library. “The ar-
ticles represent very fine examples
of Mohammedan art from the ear-
liest ages to medieval times. -Color
and interesting linear representa-
tion combine in transmitting the
feeling of Persian art,

The miniatures, many of which
are illustrations from manuscripts
of Firdawsi, Persia’s greatest
poet, are unusually perféct speci-
mens. Three of them are of the
fifteenth century, the: period of
Persia’s highest artistic achieve-
ment. The earliest of these, “The
Death of Bizan,” is a product of
the Shiraz school. It blends sheer
decoration with expression, and is
embellished with cloud-like calli-

spb. The first example of the
Hetat school has an _ interesting
asymetrical design and_ great
beauty of detail, while the later
one, “Joseph being Entertained by
Potiphor’s Wife,” shows delicate
design coupled with richness of
color,

The earliest piece of calligraphy,
a page from the Koran written in
Kufi style in Mesopotamia during
the ninth century, conveys a
sweeping rhythm and _stylization
that clearly illustrates why writ-
ing was regarded as equal to the
other arts in Oriental countries. A
fourteenth century excerpt, also
from the Koran, shows greater
ornamentation, especially in the
blue and gold illuminations. The
calligraphy is not purely mono-
chromatic, but has red marks sym-
bolizing vocalization and enuncia-
tion. In the miniatures the calli-
graphy is often traced into out-
lines that accent its vital rhythm.



WITS END :

The News was forced:to omit 60
columns of copy in order to pre-
sent all the advertising to its sub-
scribers. Therefore, we insert this
column as a_ digest of omitted
stories.

According to the latést reports,
six students leaped from Taylor
Tower into the cloister pool to-
night and just as these students
paused to refresh, so well may
you. Now we have dispensed with
the commercial let us announce
that the long expected has occur-
red. A certain professor well-
known for nocturnal habitation of
the library was finally locked in
by the porter. “Frequent trips
to the water cooler made the night
pass like day,” was his only com-
ment.

Mild excitement was aroused on
campus last night by the slight
blaze which razed two dormitories
to the ground. Students aided the
firemen by dancing around the ‘in-
ferno singing “To the Maypole Let
Us Go.” Cause of the fire was at-
tributed to_an intense dislike of
showcase furniture but







Causal Crails

Using the phrase “domestic
tranquillity” from the preamble
of the constitution as a text, Mr.
Wells discussed some of the events
of the past week in Washington,
where the situation seems to be
anything but tranquil. Despite
the outward confusion, a great
deal is being done, he said, men-
tioning in particular the repeal of
the Chinese Exclusion Act, the
new tax bill, and the Commodity
Credit Corporation Bill.

The whole subject of taxation,
Mr. Wells said, is tied up with
wage and price control and the
question of subsidies. Rationing,
he said, has achieved a fairer dis-
tribution of scarce goods and price
control has gained a great deal
more than in the last war. There
was about a 50% increase in prices
in the last war and only about a
25% increase in this war,

Inflation

The “inflationary gap,” Mr.
Wells said, might cause a great
increase in pricés. The danger
from this gap is considerably less-





Police| ened, however, by the fact that a

Chief Howe was unable to place | good deal of it is taken by savings

the blame on any one person.

The administration has joined
the Board of Trustees at . Stokes
Poges on the Isle of Rhoads _ for
its annual fishing trip. Feeling
that the college is in a rut, they
are advancing a new program of
anti-exams with special emphasis
on the abolishment of comprehen-
sives. Faculty are wisely prepar-
ing a flanking movement—“We
would have nothing to look for-
ward to,” explained their spokes-
man, “It’s as if Christmas were
abolished,” said another.

A blot upon our scutcheon is the
class riots in one hall. Freshmen
have accused the Seniors of dis-
crimination and have refused to
fetch coffee or sing. The resulting
violent action should make us stop
and consider the true values of our

traditions.

Corporation. This agency finances many agricultural pro-
grams, yet the measure to continue this CCC to July 1, 1945
contains a provision which would ban almost all food subsi-
dies after December 31. The bill, outlawing the Administra-’
tion food subsidy program, has been passed by the House,
278 to 117. It is expected that the Senate will also pass the
CCC bill, although the President will undoubtedly veto it. In-
dications are that the veto will be over-ridden.

Subsidies alone, it should be pointed out, do not offer the
solution to the problem of inflation. Their purpose is to pro-
vide for payments to producers in order to prevent higher
wartime costs from being passed on to consumers. They are
part of the general effort to close the inflationary gap by.
stabilizing price ceilings through government financing of



added farm and food production costs. “

Those favoring subsidies believe them to be an essential
method of keeping down the cost of living, while progressive
taxation will finance the increased costs of production more
equitably. In addition to holding the cost of living at a min-
imum, increased production will result from the use of sub-
sidies, for margfnal producers, without government financial
aid, will: not be-able to continue production. Opponents of
subsidies argue that with the rise of wages, consumers
should incur the increased costs of production through high-
er prices. Taxation alone, they argue, does not close the in-
flationary gap. The problem of closing the inflationary gap
is of primary concern, and unless price and wage ceilings are
maintained, there is grave danger of widespread inflation.

President Roosevelt, in his food message to Congress on
October 31, expressed the need for subsidies as follows:

“I am convinced that to abandon our present policy would in-

crease the cost of living, bring about demands for increased

wages which would then be justifiable, and might as well start

a serious and dangerous cycle of inflation—without net benefit

to anyone.”

If the Commodity Credit Corporation bill is passed as
it stands, with the provision banning almost all food subsi-
dies, the vicious circle of increased living costs and increased
wage demands will widen the inflationary gap. If subsides
are continued, other measures such as increased taxation,
forced savings, and rationing must be employed. In any case,
a subsidy program alone will - be sufficient to prevent in-



flation. *

whether in bonds. or. insurance.
However, since the 20% withhold-
ing tax went into effect, the re-
demption of War Bonds has _in-
creased. Also, as the war draws
near its end, people will start to
buy a great deal more, which con-
stitutes a real danger,

Dr. Wells feels that the govern-
ment has not gone as far as it
should in taxation. The Treasury’s
new bill, he said, called for about
$16,000,000,000 in new revenue,
The bill was whittled down to
$10,500,000,000 and was passed by
the House of Representatives for
$2,010,000,000. Ome reason for
the cutting of the bill is that taxes
in the United States are higher
per capita than in England. This
is not a fair comparison, how-
ever, Mr. Wells said, because the
incomes of the two countries were
not taken into consideration. An-
other reason is that the House
feels that the taxpayer is “cleaned
to the bone.” This doesn’t appear
to be true, said Mr. Wells, when
you consider the luxuries people
still buy.



Nuts and Bolts

By Patricia Platt, ’45

A recent poll at Clark Univer-
sity gives interesting information
about current campus. opinion.
This poll compares the views of
the faculty with those of the stud-
ents on such issues as Roosevelt
and the Post-war world. Significant
refults include: 1) Pro-Roosevelt
students and anti-Roosevelt fac-
ulty; 2) “On. the subject of com-
pulsory military training, how-
ever, faculty and students were in
accord.” Each favored it by a
slight majority. Here is a fairly
concrete indication that college life
and organization is not likely to
fall back into its old rut.

—— py :

Swarthmore now boasts of the
fact that PM has chosen it as a
“typical campus of ’43”. PM said
“the speed-up brought by World
War II has reached even the ivory
tower, though it is known there as
acceleration.” It seems that the
war at first caused demoralization,
but now that the Navy has arrived
the lamp of learning glows as a
torch of victory. Seeing itself
mirrored amazed Swarthmore.
They never: dreamed they were so
collegiate. All of which goes to
show that college must be colleg-
iate to be college.

Psychological Effects
Of War are Discussed

Continued from Page 1
Kinnon, “and until we do so order

our society there will always un-
derstandably be those who will
prefer war to peace.”

Immunity to war neurosis is
much lower among soldiers than
among civilians, said. Mr. Mac-
Kinnon, especially if they are sol-
diers in a conscript army. One of
the main reasons for this differ-
ence is that the civilian has a feel-
ing his fate is being shared by
others, while the soldier does not.
Also invalidism offers ‘no eseape
for the civilian, but it does for a
soldier who will be evacuated from
the scene of action.

Personnel

War neurosis has been prevent-
ed somewhat during this war by
more careful selection of military
personnel. Men likely to develop
neurotic symptoms are eliminated



before induction. Also education

| of enlisted men before they go in-

to battle concerning existing con-
ditions of warfare and the ideals
for which they are fighting has
greatly reduced neurosis.

“The more the soldier knows
what he is fighting for and the
more he believes in the justice of
his cause,” pointed out the speak-
er, “the less disposed will he be to
become a neuro-psychiatric casu-
alty.”

Difference in the training. and
duty of the enlisted man in the
last world war and in this one
have caused a change in the type
of war neurosis occuring most fre-
quently. A private in the last
war was often a “foot slogging
infantryman” with little feeling
of personal responsibility. In this
war, he is much more often a
trained technician with certain
personal responsibility.

Change of Attitude
Of Employers Cited

A great change in the policy of
employers has taken place since
last spring, reported Mrs. Cren-
shaw in an interview on the types
of work open to college graduates.

Previously demand was for
large numbers of untrained work-
ers. Now the greatest demand is
for experienced people. The need
for new workers in scientific fields
is so great, however, that there
will still be many training courses
in engineering, such as those given
by Curtiss-Wright and General
Motors.

The vast number of workers
needed for reconstruction and re-
habilitation in European countries
has changed the nature of person-
nel demands in all forms of work.
There are as many positions open
now as before, but they are near-
ly all replacements, not new jobs,
Many more workers outside of the
armed forces, such as_ research
secretaries will be sent overseas.

Hockey Team Scores
Victory Over Drexel

Bryn Mawr, November 24. Bryn
Mawr crashed through Drexel’s
defense to win their first game of
the year. The Owls whitewashed
the blue team by a very decisive
6-0 score.

Taking over control of the ball
from the first minute of play, the
Owls scarcely gave the Drexel
forwards a chance to show what
they could do. By the end of the
half the Owls held a 2-0 advan-
tage, Nancy Niles, the center half-
back, having scored both points.

The Owls, although playing fast
and furiously, showed skill espec-
ially in passing, They lost no time
in increasing their lead during the
second half when Marjorie Rich-
ardson and Trudie MacIntosh both
scored. Trudie’s goal came as the
result of a perfect series of passes
all the way from the fifty-yard line
that completely baffled the Drexel
fullbacks, Lydia Gifford complet-
ed the conquest for Bryn Mawr by
adding two more goals to the
score.

Drexel found Bryn Mawr’s de-
fense more than a match for them.
Although they had several chances
to score, the Owl backs repeatedly
got the ball out and away to the
forwards.

The Bryn Mawr reserves, add-
ing to their list of victories, fin-
ished off Drexel’s second team by
a 3-1 score.

organization in 1892. The Associ-
ated Press is the strongest in the |
United States today, with a mem-
bership of about 1400, while the
United Press has a large group of
foreign subscribers.

Speaking of the present day
newspapers, Mr. Miller said that
they have become consistently
more conservative as the business
of newspaper publishing develops
into big business. As an example
he cited the Scripps papers, orig-
inally small town popular journals,
and now well entrenched in the
larger field in New York City.

In discussing the interpretation
of economic news, Mrs. Anderson
approached the problem from the
economist’s point of view. With
the economists’ interest in general
trends, she feels that mare news
of value can be found in the reg-
ular section of the paper. “On
the whole, the layman has nothing
to gain by reading the financial
pages faithfully,” she said.

Explaining that the only finan-
cial news of any value must be
gleaned from the financial pages
of the New York and London pa-
pers, or the regular publications
of the financial press, Mrs. Ander-
son then discussed government
policy toward big business, and
