Council Discusses
Alliance, Pay Day,
And Conservation
Bed-Making is Successful;
Students May Act as
Bell-Maids
The College Council, meeting for
the first time this year on October
7, ecnsidered the various phases of
student help, Pay-day, the Alli-
ance, conservation, and the differ-
ent drives.
It was decided that the students
were taking care of the bed-making
very successfully, and that, later
on, they might be asked to act as
bell-maids and to help in cleaning
the rooms.
The Bookshop will go on a
deposit system after the first pay-
day, and has established a mini-
mum charge. This example may
be followed by the Inn and the
Deanery. The College Inn will now
post and collect its own bills.
The Alliance plans to change
“defense” work to “war” work. As
before, it will sponsor lectures on
war subjects, and will hold prob-
ably two assemblies. Its war
courses will include First Aid, A.
R. P., and Nurses’ Aid, with the
co-operation of the Bryn. Mawr
Hospital; and Nutrition, Office
Techniques, Switchboard Opera-
- tion, Shorthand, and Typing. It
will also sponsor the Farm Unit.
To conserve food, students will
probably be asked to sign up when
they are planning to be away for
the week-end. All lights must be
turned out in unused rooms to save
power and to simplify blackouts.
Drives for the benefit of war re-
lief agencies will not be included
by the League in its Fall Activities
Drive, but will be launched at a
later date.
I. S. S. Conference Held
With Foreign Students
Specially Contributed by
Catherine Clement, °43
The International Student Serv-
ice sponsored a _ conference in
Washington this September that
was record making in the history
of youth conferences in this coun-
try. :
The registration on the opening
day seemed a disorderly affair
compared with the subsequent ses-
sions of the Assembly.. These were
held in the huge auditorium and
its adjoining rooms in the Depart-
ment of Labor, and -the official
government atmosphere added
greatly to the serious character of
the conference. In the eyes of the
foreign representatives even more
prestige and significance were. at-
tached to the conference by the
fact that Mrs. Roosevelt several
times invited the foreign delega-
tions to the White House. Fifty-
three nations sent delegates and
observers. As well as a large num-
ber of colleges in the United States.
After the first day the procedure
was more or less the same—round
table discussion in the morning and
afternoon, followed by a plenary
session, and concluded in the eve-
ning by another meeting of the
whole assembly. In most cases im-

Rapidly Dwindling Russian Class Bears Up;
Bravely Growing Nearer to Tolstoy Each Day
By Alison Merril, °45
Do you know how to speak Rus-
sian?_. Can you read Tolstoy in
the“ original? Well, neither can
those who have enrolled in Bryn
Mawr’s newest course, Elementary
Russian. Twenty-five of them set
out to try, and, just to give you an
idea of. what it’s like, only ten of
them are still trying. “It’s the
alphabet,” say those who gave it
up as too much to bear along with
everything else. “Just hearing the
alphabet the first day terrified us.”
The course is taught by Mr.
Rene Daudon, a_ professor of
French at the University of Penn-
sylvania, who has lived in Russia.
His Russian, which, say the be-
ginners, is very nice to listen to, is
slightly tempered with a French
aceent. When questioned about the
course, the student’s first retort is
| always, “You know Mr. Herben is
tdking the course?” Mr. Herben,
it seems, wanted to add a Slavic
language to the amazing number
he already knows: Two Freshmen
are still attending the class. One
speaks. Russian, but wants to. be
able to communicate with her par-
ents on paper.
The language has none of the
characteristics of the Romance
languages, with an entirely differ-
ent alphabet in which one letter
may have three syllables. What
appears exactly like an “m”’ is
pronounced like a “t.’”’ Said Gradu-
ate Student Madge Daly, “I like
it; it’s a definite challenge. It will
be useful to a historian since the
Russian field is comparatively un-
explored, and it is obviously useful
in the present emergency.” Said

League Will Launch
The Activities’ Drive
For War-Time Needs
The Bryn Mawr League plans to
‘aunch the Activities Drive this
week. At hall meetings, represen-
‘atives will explain the Drive and
the League activities which it sup-
ports. Each student will be per-
sonally canvassed.
This year the activities include
only those sponsored by the League,
and the Varsity Players’ produc-
tion. As usual, all soliciting by in-
dependent charities will be avoided
by having one fund. The con-
tributing student will not only help
the League services, but will be ad-
mitted free to all the Varsity plays.
The individual quota is only seven
dollars and fifty cents instead of
the former nine or eleven dollars.
The largest amounts will go to
the Bryn Mawr Summer Camp and
to the Hudson Shore Labor School.
The quota for these is $1200 dol-
lars apiece. This means that most
of the funds will go towards pro-
viding a vacation at Stone Harbor,
New Jersey, for underprivileged
children in Philadelphia, and _to-
wards the labor school in West
Park, New York, for industrial
workers. The balance of the
amount goes to such charities as
War Relief, refugee work, and
community work. The League
Drive will cover not only national
agencies, but also services to the
community.
Since the services of the Drive
are more concentrated this year
and the amount solicited is to be
less, the League hopes that as
many students as possible will give
more than the individual quota.

Mapmaking Courses
For Students Given
By Watson and Lehr
The Geology Department is off-
ering a course in Mapmaking, Sur-
veying and Photogrammetry, which
is preparation for a Civil Service
job with either the T. V..A. or
the Air Corps. No prerequisites
are required. The course may not
be used as a required science, but
will be counted towards a geology
major,
The course for Bryn Mawr stu-
dents parallels a course now being
arranged under government spon-
sorship, outside the college. Both
these courses have evolved from an
experimental course given this
summer. ;
Photogrammetry itself is the re-
duction of-an aerial photograph by
mathematical formulae to a prac-
ticable map. It is an essential war
service, since less than ten percent
of the surface of the globe has been
mapped with military accuracy.
There is also the possibility that
after the war the demand for pho-
togrammetrists will increase, since
such operations as bridge-building,
which are now carried out by the
more pedestrian methods of sur-
veying, can be more efficiently done
by photogrammetry.
However, routine surveying is
also taught, since even photogram-
metry involves a control traverse.
A traverse is a broken line run
from control point to control point,
by the aid of a compass, pacing,
and a scale. Pacing is also a’ spe-
cialized operation, involving much
walking (to set the pace) and
something called quadruple count-
ing.
The course will be given by Mr.
Watson and Miss Lehr at 11 on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, with labs
on Wednesdays and Fridays from
two to five;,a full unit of credit
will be given.

The agricultural labor shortage

“Wear Alliance” Nominates
New Executive Board
Members
Common Room, Monday, October
12.—A greatly expanded Executive
Board of the Alliance met Monday
night to consider a College Mass
Meeting to “Open the Bryn Mawr
War The Board at the
same time adopted a constitution
for the organization whose name
has been amended to the War Alli-
ance.
Present at the meeting were the
Presidents of the Self-Government
Association, the Student Govern-
ment Association, the Senior, Jun-
ior and Sophomore classes, and
the-Editor of the College News.
Together with them and the heads
of the various war drives on cam-
pus, the incumbent Executive
Board effected a reorganization of
the Alliance. The name “War Al-
liance”’ was adopted because it was
felt that the new name expresses
more clearly the purpose of the
group. :
The details of the Mass Meeting
are not to be announced, at the
request of the Executive Board.
One result of the meeting was the
nomination of the following people
for Executive Board positions: for
Secretary-Treasurer, Lydia Gifford
and Louise Bruce; for Chairman of
War Courses, Catherine Clement
and Phoebe Stevens; for Chairman
of Volunteer Drives, Bebe Biber-
man and Jean Franklin; for Chair-
man of War Information, Rosalind
Wright and Jeanette Lepska; for
Chairman of Publicity, Nancy
Scribner and Jessie Stone. These
nominations may be supplemented
by the student body and will finally
be voted upon by the students.
The constitution was_ discussed
in great detail before adoption.
Particular interest was given to
the portion regarding policy for-
mation. As finally adopted, the
constitution is as follows:
1) The Bryn Mawr War Alliance
is set up to organize and direct
the activities of the student body
towards winning the war.
2) The directing body of this
organization shall be an Executive
Board, consisting of:
A) President

Boal, Hardenbergh Discover Latin-American

By Alison Merrill, °45 —
“Living in a foreign country is

need to get away from Americans;
they’re so self-centered,” said
Maisie Hardenbergh. “I’m going
back as soon.as I can. In fact, I

War Alliance
The decision of the Alliance to change its name to the War
Alliance is a step toward defining more clearly the function of the
organization. It is a successful
accompanying statement of purpose incorporated in the new consti-
tution of the Alliance.
The former name was confusing to members as well as to the
off-campus organizations and speakers with whom the Alliance had
to deal. Now, by the new name, a definite connection with the war
activities of the campus is indicated.
Such delineation of purpose,

Lost Carrier Pigeon Meets Death in Dalton;
Rumor of Holy Ghost Visitation Questioned
By Barbara Kauffman, ’43
Last week was “Be kind to
pigeons and then find them dead
week.” The last News mentioned
the sudden intrusion of a “fat. and
repulsive animal” in the Library a
week ago yesterday. That the ani-
mal was a pigeon we knew, but the
“rest was mystery.
And mystery still reigns a week
later. There have been some de-
velopments. Certain interesting
particles of information have been
uncovered. But we do not know
the real story.
The story, so far as we know it
and unsatisfactory as it is, goes
like this. At precisely, twelve-
thirty a week ago Tuesday, the
pigeon flew into the reading room
of the Library. It was finally
persuaded to go away but appeared
again late in the afternoon, in the
halls of Merion.
On Wednesday afternoon, Miss
Gardiner was in Dalton thinking
about Biology. The phone rang. It
was Miss Stapleton. She was in
‘the Social Economy Seminary and
had, until about a minute before,
-been thinking about Social Econ-
omy. At present, all she had to
say was that there was a pigeon
in the Seminary. “What was. Miss
Gardiner going to do about. it?
' Miss Gardiner went to the Li-
brary, got the pigeon, and patting
.
i
it fondly on the head, she took it to
the Room Where They Sometimes
Put Animals in Dalton and left it.
The detective instinct followed the
humanitarian. The pigeon was a
carrier pigeon, as was discovered
from a band on its leg. It was in}
a race, from somewhere in North |
Carolina to its home in Brooklyn.
The note in the band on the pig-
eon’s leg said that if found it was
to be fed and another note was to
be placed on its lég telling where
it had rested. This Miss Gardiner
did. She then fed it some chicken
feed borrowed from Miss Ward.
Later that evening, she let the
pigeon out and it flew away.
Last Saturday was the climax of
the drama. The janitor of Dalton
found the pigeon lying dead,
though showing no marks of foul
play, in That Room Where They
Sometimes Put Animals in Dalton.
That’s that. Exit one pigeon.
But: was it a he-pigeon or a she-
pigeon? Why did it come back to
Bryn Mawr? Why, for that mat-
ter, did it invade the Library?
Theories about an intellectual -pig-
eon interested if liberal arts have
been found unsatisfactory. Several
students say that there was a glow
around the head. They insist that
this was a halo and that the pigeon
was neither a he-pigeon nor a she-

PENN POINTS
By Jessie Stone, °44
In every election campaign to-
day, the primary basis for judg-
ment of the candidates should be
their attitude toward the war.
Since no candidate will be openly
defeatist it is necessary to separate
the luke-warm.supporters.from. the
ardent win-the-war candidates.
This can be-done on the basis of
past records, speeches and affilia-
tions. If the record of the candi-
date on domestic issues is a pro-
gressive one, the chances are that
he will also be a staunch supporter
of the Commander-in-Chief in
prosecuting the war. Although in
many cases the best candidates
from this viewpoint will cut across
party lines, it is evident that if
opposing candidates are equally ill-
qualified, the Democrats will be
more likely to give the President
the support necessary to win the
war quickly and efficiently.
The gubernatorial candidates in
Pennsylvania are General Edward
Martin, Republican, who insists
that we need a military man as
“war governor,” and F. Clair Ross,
Democrat and present Auditor
General. General

Miss Reid
Common Room, Tuesday, Octa-
ber 13.—On the 31st anniversary
of the Chinese Revolution Miss
Reid discussed the significance of
the renunciation of extraterritorial
rights in Ghina by the: United
States and Great Britain.
Extraterritoriality, she ex-
plained, is the principle under
which foreign residents of a coun-
try are not under that country’s
jurisdiction. The granting of ex-
not based on mutual convenience.
It--was a concession demanded “of
China by Great Britain at the end
of the “Opium Wars” in the Treaty
of Nanking of 1842. Other coun-
tries immediately obtained the
same privileges.
The basis of the demands for
extraterritorial rights in China,
Miss Reid continued, is found in
|the fact that Chinese coneepts of
law and justice are completely
different from those of Western
states. Their system is categoric-
ally opposed to our concepts of law.
--With the. awakening of Chinese
national consciousness at the be-
ginning of the 19th century, China
began agitating for the abolition
of extraterritorial rights as an in-
fringement of her sovereignty. She
was at first completely unsuccess-
ful.
Finally, by taking advantage of
the World War and the Russian
Revolution, she abrogated the
rights possessed by Germany and
by Russia. In 1920 and 1981 she
proclaimed , that. henceforth all
foreigners resident in her territory
would be under her jurisdiction.
The friction bound to arise as a
result of these pronouncements
was only forestalled by Japan’s in-
vasion of Manchuria.
The importance of British and
American renunciation of: their
privileges, Miss Reid stated, lies in
the fact that although no specific
Martin gave)interests are affected, it is a ges-
| ture showing the solidarity of the
| United Nations, and a clever move
my administration accomplished) in the field of psychological war-
half as much as the present one of
Governor James.” It is well known
that Ross stands solidly behind the
President’s war program.
You don’t have to be astute po-
litically to know that Governor
Arthur H. James, the boy with the
high buttoned shoes, is the pawn
of the notorious Grundy machine.
There is no indication that Gen-
eral Martin is any more _ inde-
pendent of this Republican Ma-
chine, which has long been holding
the Keystone State in a vise-like
grip by virtue of its appeal to the
blue-law prejudices of the huge
rural population, its wealth and its
obedient and generous’ ward-
heelers. I wonder whether General
Martin, when he set up James as
the personification of his political
aspirations, remembered how
James strenuously opposed an ap-
propriation for the Nautical School
which has been training officers for
our Merchant Marine. James
fought this appropriation only last
spring and this doesn’t sound very
much like win-the-war policy.
The most unfavorable thing that
can be said about F. Clair Ross is
that he is backed..by a machine
politician of the old school, David
Lawrence. Unfortunately, Ross
has thus far conducted his cam-
paign much the same as the Demo-
crats have in previous years, em-
phasizing as primary issues the
Republican Party’s corruption, ad-
ministrative inefficiencies,
favoritism toward the multi-mil-
lionaire industrialists and finan-
ciers. Obviously, the election must
be rescued from machine politics
and be fought on war issues. To
the extent that Ross fails to show
vigorous qualities of leadership on
war issues, to that extent does he
fail to demonstrate the special im-
portance of this election and inspire
the crusading effort needed to
carry him to the governorship.
What, then, are the chances for

‘ College Dean Says
“Women’s charms and in-
clinations for marriage and
motherhood can survive any-
thing,” says Helen Taft Man-
ning, dean of women at Bryn
Mawr College. _ But will
women, who work in war
plants, remain feminine and
pretty? Will the female sex
still attract men? “Well,”
says Mrs. Manning, “I don’t
know where men would find
another séx.”

for the privilege of being left in Visit to Mrs. Roosevelt at her |
peace. Kohler the gardener, hear-|
ing about George, thinks of his
sons: “Had he done all in his
power to strengthen their resist- |
ance? By no means! That would
have meant the dissolution of the
family—jail—himself the victim of |
his sons. He would have had to}
choose—and there was the break.
Not only for him, Kohler, but also
for many others. How could a
man make such a. decision, how|
bridge such a break?” |
So Kohler does what he can, |!
with a few words spoken at the!
right moment. George’s two friends |
who see him in the cafeteria and
know they cannot report him, Loe-
wenstein the Jewish doctor who
will not send a sick man away, are!
of the same type. Some take greater |
risks. Paul Roeder désires nothing
so much as a continuation of his
present life, but he will not betray
his oldest friend. Elly, George’s
wife, wanting never to see him
again, knows that if he comes to
her for help she cannot refuse.
These people, as Anna Seghers
portrays them, are neither particu-
larly good nor bad, brave nor cow-
ardly. It is almost against their
will that they help George, almost
that it is impossible for them to do
anything else. In the end the
prisoners of Westhofen remember
George; “All of us felt how ruth-
lessly and fearfully outward pow-
ers could strike to the very core of
man, but at the same time we felt
that at the very core there was
something that was unassailable
and inviolable.”
This is meant for George, but in
a very real sense it applies even'
more to the figures George unwill- |
ingly menaced in his escape, those |
who, not willing to make the breach |
themselves, yet could not alienate
what was most true within them.

Morris and Algernon Charles Swin-
burne. In addition, there are com-
munications to Professor Chew
from Sir William Watson, Arthur
Symons, Wilfrid Scawen Blunt,
William Michael Rossetti and Mrs.
Thomas Hardy, as well as presen-
tation copies of various volumes
given to Professor and Mrs. Chew.
The most valuable volume in this
exhibition is “Lyrical Ballads,”
printed in 1798. In this famous
work the “Rime of the Ancyent |
Mariner” and “Lines written a
few miles above Tintern Abbey”
were first published. Other rare
books included are Lord Byron’s
“English Bards and Scotch Re-
viewers,” of 1809, lacking the
poet’s name and the date on the
title page, in the original boards
and uncut; Tennyson’s ‘Poems
Chiefly Lyrical,” of 1830, also un-
cut and in the original boards;
Swinburne’s “Atalanta in , Caly-

designed by Rosetti; and the 1870
edition of Rosetti’s “Poems,”

Mimi’s only advice was, “Girls,

'Unfurling Unpatriotic Flag Would Require
Superacrobatics Performed on Taylor Roof
|
By Lenore (Boyle, ’43
| -Our administri.tion, taking. this
;war with all due seriousness, is
|doing its bit. Nuturally, you have
|not seen the flag which hangs from
Taylor roof. Naturally not, since
ithe flag, from the day it was first
| hoisted, has been firmly wrapped
jaround the flagpole.
| This state of affairs obviously
cannot continue. Unfortunately,
jany attempt to unwind the flag
, would merely cause the death of
ianyone unwise enough to try. We
jourselves have not been’ to’ see, but
‘it is said that the -job could be
| accomplished only by someone with
;more muscular facility than could
'be found on this campus. That
imay not seem like much muscular
facility, but, as we all know what
te price must be paid for higher
learning, why go on?
| If you, however, feel any burn-
| ing desire to aid in this way, the
i person to see is Miss McBride. She
| believes that all that is needed is
| to p'ace the flagpole at a different
jangle. This would be very simple.
| As you hang on with your left

Miss Howe, on the other hand,
believes that the flag should be
moved to Dalton. This would have
obvious advantages, notably as a
place to keep the pigeons before
they move on:to Brooklyn, where
the flags unfurl.
Dalton, however, lacks a central
position.. Now, considering that
for years past the undergraduates
have been trying to draw closer to
Radnor, why miss this opportun-
ity? Each dawn some healthy
graduate student can rise to put
out the flag. Once this flag is

for the students to see it on their
