the Montgomery County unit, Miss

with the Civilian Volunteer Office
of Philadelphia, as well as with
the National defense organization

Not originally connected with
the other organizations, the Lower
Merion Township Defense Council
is now trying to coordinate itself
with the County Council. Ap-
pointed by the Township Commis-
sioners last summer, it has sent
out questionnaires and established
a file of people trained or inter-

E. Cheney, Ex-Ed, Assists “Mirror’s” Editors,
And Denies Walter Winchell’s Libelous Tale



By Jacquie Ballard, ’43

“Tex MacCrary’s new Girl Fri-
day is. Emily Cheney, ex-News
copy girl and silk heiress.” So
wrote._Walter._ Winchell of. Bryn
Mawr’s 1940 graduate and former
editor of the College News. This
caused havoc with Cheney’s office
life. She spent a week denying
any claims to future silk.

Previously a copy girl on the
Daily News, Cheney has graduated
to the editorial office of the Daily
Mirror, where she files and types
and makes up the page. “I am
officially classed as a secretary, al-
though I don’t know the first thing
about shorthand.” This shorthand |
deficiency is a good thing. “Don’t:
let. ’em catch you- with it,”. she
advises.

Barbara Auchincloss. In _ fact,
feminists may chalk one up on
tough City Eds from coast to coast.

The two most desperate moments
of Cheney’s job occurred in the
same day. She dropped__a_wax
dictaphone cylinder on a busy street
corner and a head which she had
supposedly corrected appeared in



incorrect form in the paper.
No doubt, Cheney was the source ,

of inspiration for the Jowrnal|'

story, “Copy Girl.” She insists on)
this. She knew the author, Jack’

|
'Tams, when she was on the News, ;

and that ought to settle any juris-
dictional disputes with Barbara
Cooley. Cheney grants, however,
that Cooley is one up, because the
McCain of the story is the actual
name of a rewrite man with whom
Cooley worked on Albany’s Knick-



Her ciameel career as copy girl
provoked write-ups in .Time_ and
Newsweek, and a story in the Oc-
tober Ladies’ Home Journal. She
says that she herself tried to write
an article about her unique posi-
tion, but it was rather an unsuc-
cessful attempt.

Although a genuine New Yorker,
Cheney is still very near to Bryn;
Mawr life, since she is now living:
with Cooey Emery and Sarah

erbocker News. “The locale and
detail of the story are pretty
straight from the Daily News office, |
but actually they could be the set-
ting from any newspaper,” she
said.

Cheney’s present aspiration is to
have a series of articles about ci-’
vilian defense published in The
Mirror. She thinks she has a much
better chance of advancement in
her new job. “About once a week

One-Act Plays Show

~ Talent in East, West
And Rhoads Freshmen

By Alice Iseman, ’43



The Freshman Play contest got
under way Friday night with Pem-
broke West, East, and Rhoads pre-
senting their offerings in the Thea-
tre Workshop.

The Man in the Bowler Hat,

offered by Pembroke West, gave no
opportunity for important charac-

terizations. The cast, however,
performed its limited function
rather successfully. Harriet Sha-

piro was amusing as John, al-
though in places she overplayed
the part. Frangoisé Pleven made
a dashing hero, and Mary Virginia
More, a horrendous villain. Other
members of the cast were entirely
adequate. The performance as a
whole might have been more pol-
ished, _the—cues—-pieked—up—faster,
and the action smoother. But con-
sidering the fact that rehearsals
were limited to weekends, and that
this was, for many, a first attempt
at acting, the result was good.
Pembroke East’s undertaking,
Shaw’s Inca of Perusalem was far
more ambitious. Judith Derby as
Ermentrude, the millionairess-la-
dy’s maid, was excellent. Her
stage manner was finished and she
handled Shavian epigrams with
professional finesse. Ann Bird
Woods, as the doltish princess,
served as a very good foil, and
Wynn Glanker, the Inca, handled a
long and, at times, tedious part as
well as she could. Minor characters,
the archdeacon, the waiter, and the
hotel manager, were uniformly
good. Pembroke East, on the whole,

showed much talent. If the action

‘about these pictures is that I got

them out at all,’”’ said Mr. Menken,
who was determined to survey the
situation in New Zealand, Aus-
tralia, _ the. Netherlands Indies,
otros Japan, and the American
possessions, and to discover the
| strength of our friends and of our
potential enemy.

The movie was presented chron-
ologically, by countries; but
throughout Mr. Menken placed his
emphasis upon the technical devel-
opment and the war preparations
of each power. New Zealand, he
saw as strong in national feeling—
“she is all in the war and she
knows it”—but weak in manpower.
The population is small; and al-
though both colonists and natives
are being diverted from agricul-
ture and trained in flying and air-
craft mechanics, the reserve is
limited.

Australia, however, is turning
out actual war material and “her
greatest export is men.” Veterans
of Tobruk rub shoulders with men
who will soon be sent to Singapore,
“Austalia’s first line of defense.”

The Netherlands Indies show
even more actual war preparation.
It is nearer to Japan, and valuable
to her for the oil, rice, and rubber.
Holland however plans a foot-by-
foot resistance—pillboxes and tank
traps line the roads, and the oil-
wells are mined in case they must
be abandoned. There is a skilled
air-fleet, a rising army in which
natives are trained beside colonists,
a navy apparently strong, and a
ship-repair shop which appears to

be excellently. equipped.

Cooley Takes the Bumps in Epic Tank Ride;
Experience With Defense Shatters Victim



>

By Barbara Cooley, *42
“How fast are we going?” I
yelled when I’d caught my breath.
This business of getting the inside
story on National Defense from the

machine-crowded interior of a tank
had already jounced me: for fifteen
gasping minutes. I asked again af-
ter he’d shifted to a quieter gear—
“About twenty-five. Thirty miles
an hour is the fastest they go.” I
settled back and hit the rubber-
padded ceiling a couple of times.
But maybe we’d crash through
buildings the way they do in the
movies, I thought. ‘Don’t you ever
knock down things?” I asked.
“Nope. But one day I got.
sleepy,” Johnny pointed out a raw
gash in nearby woods where four

ior five trees had been snapped off

at the base.

This was the testing field outside
Schenectady, N. Y., for M3 tanks
produced by the American Locomo-
tive Company. I craned my neck
and through the mud-slopped wind-
shield, saw we were passing the
shack office. He wasn’t going to
ask me if I’d had enough.

“Still like it?” he asked fasten-



ing a strap over my. lap, so I’d only

‘hit the ceiling on the big bumps.
“Is it fun to drive these things?”

I roared. He plowed through a
mire and yelled, “Monotonous as
hell.”

There was the shack again. I
jabbed Johnny and we ground to a
stop—a few more minutes to get
the facts. ‘After it’s assembled,
we drive each tank 65 miles before
it’s sent off to the army,” he ex-
plained.

“How many men ride in these
tanks?” I asked squeezing through
the narrow space between turret
and driver’s seat.___‘‘Seven,”_he
said. “One as lookout in’ the re-
volving turret, a driver, radio man,
and men to operate the cantion, the
75 millimeter guns and the anti-
aircraft guns.” I looked around
the tiny machine-filled interior and
mentally stretched cramped legs.

Johnny climbed out through the
trapdoor in the roof and reached
down an assisting hand. “Have
‘you ever taken a girl before?” I
asked, hiking my overalls closer to
my shattered and grimy body.

“A dozen, I guess,” he said, pull-
ing me onto the roof.

“Thanks a lot for the ride,” I
murmured meekly.

ates and undergraduates. The assembly was long, but in it the

transitoriness. It was rather thatpthe emphasis throughout was not
upon the conclusion but rather upon the process of arriving at that
conclusion. It was evident that to the participants, their common
experience, not the information, was important. '

From the whole experience of participant and audience has
come an example and a compelling suggestion. The value of
co-operation between undergraduate and graduate has been proven.
Such co-operation should be continued and extended to include
other extra curricular activity. From the fuller knowledge, greater
judgment and larger experience of graduate students the under-
graduate can learn much; through graduate co-operation in club
work, on community problems such as those presented by May
Day and by the Entertainment Committee’s endeavor to avoid
the concentration of activities, and to facilitate interhall and inter-
class comingling. With graduate help on projects requiring spe-
cialized techniques and. knowledge not yet possessed by under-
graduates, the happy medium between academic and extra-curricu- |
lar activities attributed to England might be reached here.

In The Alliance can be found a field where such cooperative
activity would be most rewarding. Graduate support _in_the—re-
search section, in the forums, and.in the maintenance of -relations
with similar groups in other colleges, might prevent the fumbling
trials and failures which are involved in the inauguration of any
new group. Such support would be invaluable to the undergradu-
ates. It would help them to perfect a swift and-accurate technique
in contemporary research.



All or Nothing at All

The reputed low morale of the Army camps had nothing*on
that of the Bryn Mawr campus last Thursday. It wasn’t that
_anything particular happened. It was just that nothing at all
happened. On Thanksgiving.

No snow and no people. All off for a one-night stand, except
those fortunate few who have no Friday classes and so’ had a long
weekend. Or those unfortunate few who not only had classes,
but also quizzes on that particular Friday, and so remained for
turkey in the halls. ous

A lovely day and general deadly quiet. Terrific boredom for
some, terrific work for others, and a slightly interrupted vacation
(one must fly back for one’s first class on Friday) for others.

This is the second trial year. The results are obvious enough
already. If the break didn’t come for all the first week, it will
the second. What does one more day, one more required class,
‘mean in stopping a break in the academic year, when such a break
is inevitable in everyone’s mind and attitude, not to mention in

Nuts and Bolts

By Isabel Martin, ’42



Turn About

Last year Yale University took
a poll which indicated that the stu-
dents were not so anxious to go
into the war, but that they did fa-
vor some help for the Allies. | On
November 5, another poll was cir-
culated, and the results, as against
last year, were overwhelmingly for
“unrestricted military and naval
participation in the war.” Twenty-
one percent of the university voted
for immediate intervention, as
against only six percent last win-
ter. 77 percent favored a much
increased war aid.

Among the classes, the Sopho-
more class was the belligerent, vot-
ing 80 percent for intervention;
the Seniors, 75 percent; Juniors,
77 percent; and Freshmen, 77 per-
cent. The Graduate Schools were
the lowest.

All Out

The Smith College defense
courses have become so popular
that it is necessary to make selec-
tions from the long list of enrolled
students on the basis of academic
standing and college class. Courses
are being given on radio communi-
cation, map interpretation, and
air-raid precaution. In the radio
course an enrollment of 25 stu-
dents was hoped for, and when 210
applied, the class was enlarged to
55.

Play Depicts Youth
Of Pre-War France

By Barbara Bechtold, ’42

Puget’s modern play, Les Jours
Heureux, was given Saturday night
in the Wyndham Music Room for
the benefit of French war pri-
soners. Not only did the play af-
ford an insight into French life in
pre-war France, but succeeded in
presenting excellent entertainment.



The young men in Puget’s play
are representative of many other
Frenchmen, said Mlle. Bree in in-
troduction. In the play these
characters live a normal if harum-
scarum life. The contrast of the
past as presented in the play and
the present as we can imagine it,
she said, ought to bring home to us
the tragedy and the prisoners’ need.

Because of this contrast Les
Jours Heureux was happily chosen.
The LesPrades and Bossins are
left by their parents for.a day and
a night to their own devices. Two
of the young cousins concoct an
imaginary aviator-lover to make
Olivier jealous of Marianne. By
chance an aviator drops out of the
skies into their wishful laps. Both
girls make an earnest play for him,
while Olivier and Bernard fight for
their cousin’s honor.

The theme is treated with a mod-
ern breeziness and lightness. The
play has the tang of adolescent so-
phistry and cynicism in the char-
acter of twenty-year-old Olivier, of
awkward and stuttering shyness in
Bernard, and the suave urbanity of
Michel, the aviator (M. Guiton).

Although a minimum of props
and scenery was used, and the ac-
tors only read their lines, the result
was a swift-moving comedy. Often

French was read with gusto and
vigor.

M. Jolly played the cynical and
sophisticated Olivier, opposite the
insatiable Marianne. Bernard, the
adolescent pimply youth, was stut-
tered by M. Massénu, while Per-
nette, his future “fiancé,” was read
by Francoise Pléven. Tony Michel
took the part of Francine, while M.
Guiton played the angel from the

Haverford Boners Highlight
Roaring Double Feature





By Jacquie Ballard, °43
Bryn Mawr, November.
Flung amongst a mass of womdh on|
the hockey fields;members of the|
Haverford soccer and _ football
teams didn’t catch on till the see-
ond period, to the fact that they
weren’t on the golf course. The
divots flew and the girls were liter-
ally bowled over; in fact, it was a
wild and roaring double feature.

eS age

The Varsity played the soccer
team and the Reserves, the football
team. It was“impossible to decide |
which-contest to watch.The Re-
serves, perhaps, played a more fas-
cinating game, since, when the
football players tackled, they really
brought down their-opponents.

Having been instructed in the
rules and penalties of the game,
one boy started to play croquet,
hitting the ball through his legs to
his teammate. He looked chagrined
when a foul was called on him. One
the forward line evidenced his
baseball training when he fielded
the ball barehanded, receiving it
from & corner shot. “I don’t like
these corner plays,” he said, obvi-
ously thinking he was playing the
“hot corner.”

The Varsity made the first goal
against the soccer team, but the
Reserves trailed in score all the
way. There were more boners in
these games than in the French
orals, for the boys translated the

Fifteen students are enrolled an-
nually in the training course in di- |
etetics given by the War Depart- |
ment at the Army Medical Center |
in Washington, D. C. The U. S.|
Civil Service Commission has an- !
nounced an examination to secure |
students for the class beginning on |
September 1 of next year. The!
Commission emphasizes that the |
examining process is to be com-
|pleted in the spring,and that the |
appointments will be made early |
in April. Poof

The training course lasts 1 year.
Certificates of graduation § are}
[awarded those who successfully |
complete it. As students, appoint-
ees are paid $420 a year, less a de-
duction of $360 a year for subsis- |
tence and quarters. After gradua-!
jtion, students may be eligible for
retention in the service as dieti-
tians at $1,620 a year. Such ap-:
pointees will be expected to remain |
in the service for at least 1 year|
at any location required by the |
Army. |



To qualify for the examination;
for student dietitian positions ap-|
plicants must have completed a;
full 4-year college course with ap- |

skill overcomes force. Haverford
beat the Varsity by the slim mar-
vin of ~8=2;~-while~-the— Reserves’
score was 4-2 in the football team’s
favor. As though fifty minutes of
riot were not enough, each team

played an extra ten minutes, just)

time enough to warm up for the

Questions Reveal Differences in Method,
Agreement in Aim of Foreign Educations
2





At one phase of their two-week
discussion of international educa-
tional problems, the eight students
who spoke at the recent College
Assembly filled out questionnaires
concerning. their respective .coun-
Scotland, China,

tries: Brazil,

jItaly, Turkey, Spain, Poland and

Germany.

The results of the questionnaire,
unable to’ be presented at the as-
sembly, are summarized here. The
extent. of schooling, the purpose of
training, and the influence of poli-

~ ties and social customs on educa-

tion were the main aspects treated.
All the students agree that the aim
of modern education is to produce
individuals of general culture, with
specialized knowledge in one field;
citizens tolerant of their own coun-
tries as well as of the world’s.
For the most part, education in
govern-
ment supervisions. The majority of

elementary schools and ‘universi-,

ties are state institutions, but
there is a greater number of
“high” schools which are privately
conducted and supported. Of the
countries represented, Brazil and
China are the only ones in which
education is not compulsory, the
others having some form of school-
ing required until the age of 14.
Nevertheless, illiteracy up to 70
per cent prevails in all except
Scotland and Germany. In general,
education is free ( or nearly so) in
these countries in the elementary
schools.

There is usually a small fee in
the. state intermediate and high
schools, and a larger one in the
private schools. University tuition
and fees are tower~ than those- of
American Colleges, but with the
exception of Poland and Scotland,
there are usually few scholarships
given by the State.

Very few of these countries pro-
vide their students with extracur-
ricular activities as extensive as
those found in American schools.
For example, in Italy and Spain

the political youth organizations.
They havea system which is polit-
ically alive, but which fails to de-
the
sponsibility of the individual as do

velop self-discipline and_ re-

the organizations of the American
students.

The selection of teachers varies
little in the different countries; the
majority, especialiy in the lower
schools, are state employees, chosen
by government exams, and receiv-
ing very low salaries.

In the universities of Germany,
China, Italy and Spain, there is
close cooperation and a feeling of
friendliness and—equality between
teachers and students. This

Brazil alone has no _ coeduca-
tional system. All the other na-
tions have coeducation in their
universities and in most of their
public lower schools. _Convents are
| numerous in Spain, Italy, and Bra-
|zil especially, where girls of most
‘of the families receive their higher
education.

In outlining the purposes of the
bureau, Lash said: “The need for
first-hand observation as a means
to implement and bring alive
knowledge acquired in the class-
room has been recognized by. stu-
dents and teachers. Teachers have
encouraged their students to make
trips to Washington. —Thousands
have come every year alone or in
groups hoping to obtain a close
view of government in action. For.
most of them, this hope has not
been fulfilled, as they did not know
what resources were available and
no agency existed to help them dis-
cover and use all the possibilities

‘for a deeper understanding of what

the capital of this democracy sym-
bolizes. Hence the establishment

of our Washington Bureau.”
