On January 13th

Pianist - Composer, Satirist
To Present Parodies
And to Improvise



Alec Templeton, blind pianist and
composer, will be pregented by the
College Entertainment Committee
on Monday, January 138, at 8.30 in

Goodhart Hall.

Besides being a concert pianist,
Mr. Templeton is a composer, im-
proviser, and musical satirist as
well. Many of his improvisations
are composed on the spur of the
moment when members of the audi-
ence suggest three or four titles
with which to work. Mr. Temple-
ton then weaves these different
melodies together in such a way
that the result is musically perfect,
while at the same time each sepa-
rate tune remains entirely recog-
nizable.

Mr. Templeton has appeared as
guest soloist with the Detroit, Chi-
cago, Grand Rapids, Kansas City,
and Pittsburgh symphony orches-
tras. Mr. Templeton is dlso, pre-

D. Niefield Outlines
CIO Stand on Labor
And National Defense

" Common Room, December 16.—
David Neifield, of the Philadel-
phia Retail and Wholesale Em-
ployees’ Union, spoke on the €. I. O.
position on Labor and National De-
fense as it was keyncted at the At-
lantic City Convention. The meet-

ing was sponsored by the A.S. U.
Mr. Neifield reviewed the resolu-
tions of the convention which cov-
ered the following problems: La-
bor’s determination to protect its
rights as the nation embarks on a
program of national defense, la-
bor’s endorsement of democratic
principles, and its plans for a cam-
paign to organize -unorganized
workers in’such plants as Ford and
Bethlehem Steel. :

In its stand on national defense,
the. C. I.°O. declared itself fully
prepared to discharge our obliga-
tions to the defense of this coun-
try but holds that any defeat of
labor’s civil rights, or any retreat
from the standards gained by labor
in recent years is equivalent to a
defeat of national defense. To
labor, a program of national de-
fense includes social security, Mr.
Neifield said, and if the social
needs of the people are overlooked,
it becomes a program of profiteer-
ing and repression of rights.

Mr. Neifield outlined John L.
Lewis’ criticism of the present de-
fense program, in which Lewis
stated that the nation had shifted
to a war economy administrated by
representatives of corporate indus-
try and finance. Lewis held that

Hold Gayest Dance



The Maids’ and Porters’ annual
dance, held last Friday. night, was
honored by the second appearance,

band, called The Fifteen Dreamers.
Whittaker, Denbigh’s porter and
leader of the porters’ quartet, also
plays the bull-fiddle in this local
orchestra, whose music igs de-
scribed as “magnificently hot.”

The dance was acclaimed:.as the|_

Sing Me a Song of Social Si gnificance,
Or There’s a jas ‘i Trail a-Winding



By Marguerite Bogatko, "4
Twenty years ago this very pre-
Christmas week, a fancy dress
dance in Pembroke was crowning
the annual Bryn Mawr Christmas

revels. The Varsity hocky team
crushed Baltimore in an 11-2 vic-
tory and the “Reeling and Writh-
ing” club was being addressed by

‘Robert Frost.

Leonardo Terrone was lifting the
gentle art of fencing from “a de-
teriorated and jerky exercise” to a
thing of grace and poetry over in
the gym. In the New Book Room
Hugh. Walpole’s latest novel, The
Captives and Edith Wharton’s Age
of Innocence had just been put on
the shelves and down in the Bryn

Mawr ne ‘Blanche Sweet was,





appearing in Unpardonable Sin, to
be followed: -by Beatrice Joy: in
Invisible Divorce.

For the first time in college his-

| tory the question of limiting week-

ends was_ being raised and people
owere saying that one of the nice
things about Bryn Mawr used* to
be that it was free from “petty
rules and restrictions’ and that
there was scope for “self-determin-
ism on the part of every student.”
All of’ which makes one think it’s
a pretty small world after all.

Fine Concert Given
By Bryn Mawr with
Weverdord Glee Club

Goodhart, December 15.—The an-
nual Christmas service was pre-
sented this year by the combined
choirs and instrumentalists of Bryn
Mawr and Haverford, conducted by
Ernest Willoughby
was delivered by the Reverend Ern-
est C. Earp of the Church of the
Redeemer in Bryn Mawr.

The chgirs exhibited excellent co-
ordination and unity of tone, par-
ticularly in the Lo How a Rose
E’er Blooming of Praetorius and
Hush my dear, lie still and slumber
arranged by Martin Shaw. The
selections from Bach’s Christmas
Oratorio lacked articulation of the
different. parts although on the
whole the singing displayed skill
and spirit.

The instrumentalists of the two
who have been coached



colleges,

‘| during the past few weeks by Miss

Helen Rice showed promise of be-
coming a well-integrated group. It
is to be hoped that. such a combined
orchestra will become a permanent
fixture of the two colleges.

French Nativity Play
Generally Acclaimed
Delightful Tradition

By Alice Crowder, ’42

Against trellised pines the an-
nual French Christmas pageant
‘was charmingly enacted in Wynd-
ham Music Room, Friday night.
Its success lay in its achievement of
the note of simplicity for which the
informal relation of cast and audi-
ence, and the lack of sophistication
in the play itself were an excellent
medium; its small failures lay in
the unevenness of acting, costuming
and pronunciation.

The stylized simplicity and sin-
cerity in acting required for such
a type of drama was caught and
maintained by Louise Classen, ’42,
asthe Virgin, who set the: pace: of
the ‘play. The other members of
the cast varied from this interpre-
tation: Vivi French, ’42; as the
central figure, King Herod, and
Janet Dowling, ’42, as Joseph, out-
did themselves in trying to present
realistic characterizations. In do-
ing so, although their ,attempts
were entirely successful, the con-
tinuity of the simple tone was
broken. The shepherds, Judy Breg-
man, ’42, and Betty Marie Jones,}
’42, and to some extent the three
wise mén, Mimi Boal, ’42, Virginia
Erickson, ’41, and Lorean-Adele.

ther direction in making their
characterizations little more than

Of Inflation Control.
Considered by Hardy

Common Room, December 13.—
In ‘his talk,on War-Time. Control

of Prices, Charles. 0. Hardy, of. the
Brookings Institute, discussed* the
preblems involved in price control
when economic war production has
reached a point of full plant ca-
pacity, and employment, and when
prices have begun to rise as a re-
sult of scarcity of resources or bot-
tlenecks in production. Mr. Hardy
also commented on opinions current
in Washington concerning the na-
ture of recent economic trends, and
the ‘tendency of influential econ-
omists to describe this trend as a
period of secular stagnation rather

than a cyclical depression,

Christmas Vacation
Proves Work Period
For Many of Faculty



Christmas Vacation for most
minds on the campus means a
period of rest and pleasant decay,
but not for certain members of
the faculty who, during the com-
ing holiday, will preside over and
contribute to many meetings of
research societies.

In Baltimore, at the Archaeo-
logical Institute of America, from
the department of classical archae-
ology, Miss Swindler will speak on
“The Goddess in Upraised Arms,”
and Mr. Carpenter will speak on
“A Statue of Medea in the Poly-
platan Manner” and, later, on
“The School in Rome.” Hetty
Goldman, a graduate student, will
read a paper on “The Origin of
the Greek Hermes.”

In Chicago at the Political Sci-
ence Association convening from
December 27-30, Mr. Wells, pro-
fessor of political science, will
speak on “The Future of Local
Government in Rural America.”
Mr. Broughton, professor of Latin,
will preside over the Romah his-
tory section of the Historical As-
sociation meeting in New York,
December 28.

In Boston at the meeting of the
Modern Language Association,
Miss Lograsso, associate professor
of Italian, will speak on “Pierro
Maroucelli,” and at the same meet-
ing, on December 26, Miss Cohn,

instructor in German, will speak

Nights; Approve 5-Day Schedule.

Station Wagon is Bought

By Athletic Assn.; Rush
For Its Use Begun



Use of -Goodhart on week-ends,
a full five-day schedule, and a sta-

tion wagon were the new projects
discussed by the College Council.

From-now on, the Common Room
and the May Day Room will_be
open to undergraduates until 12
p. m., on week-ends. This new plan

¥

Will fill the frequently expressed -

desire for some place to go other
than movies or a dance floor, and
the newly-repaired Capehart and
radio should act as powerful draw-
ing cards. Cooking on the gas
ranges will also be possible.

The suggestion of a six- day week
with classes on Saturday has been
carefully considered this fall by the
faculty. The arguments in favor
of such a system would be the relief
of Wednesday tension and a better
distribution of classes with regard

to conflicts and overcrowded days. |

The faculty turned down the six-
day plan in favor of a revision of
the present schedule so as to make
full use of the five-day week. The
new schedule will be posted some-
time during the second semester
and will go into effect next year.

The main group of classes will
come on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday mornings. The other se-

Peace Council Plans

To Aid Many. Causes

The Peace Council has proposed
its budget for the year. It asks the
campus to remember that many of
the services the Peace Council’ pro-
poses to sponsor are maintained al-
most exclusively by colleges and are
the kind of services which tend to be
ignored in war-time. Students who
have criticisms or objections are
asked to sign a paper -posted on
each hall bulletin board for the
purpose. The budget must be re-
vised if 20 per cent of the campus
disapproves.

The proposed allocations are as
follows: International Student
Service, 150 dollars; Far Eastern
Student Service, 100 dollars; (a
pamphlet describing these organi-
zations more fully is posted on the
Peace Council Bulletin Board) ;
China School, run by a Bryn Mawr
graduate, 100 dollars; Friends
Service League, 200 dollars; Red
Cross, 25 dollars.
special groups are: English Ambu-
lance Fund, 150 dollars;. Philadel-
phia Community Chest, 25 dollars;
Allied Jewish Appeal, 25 dollars;
and to the Committee bringing
Spanish refugees to Mexico, 25
dollars. Finances are needed to
transport nationalist refugees in

A Creature Was Stirring .-
Once upon a Santa Claus there’
were three reindeer. _Now when it
came time for them to deliver the
packages they said, “But nobody
mailed us early enough. We don’t
want to go out in all those crowds.”

And Santa didn’t say anything but
just waited.

And that year nobody got any
Christmas presents at all.

The next year when December
came again Santa harnessed the
reindeer and spoke sharply to
‘theas@ thus: "It is time to deliver
the presents now.” But the rein-
deer-said, “We can’t, because you
see we don’t like crowds.”

And that year nobody got any
Christmas presents at all.

Now little Mary Jane, who had
been to Bryn Mawr and who
hadn’t gotten a single scrap of a
Christmas present for two, years
said, “Something has to done.”

So she went to the zoo and hired
some reindeer and bought a lot of
presents and started off ...

When Santa’s reindeer saw Mary
Jane they grew jealous and said to
Santa, “Harness us quickly that
we may do better than her.” And
Santa smiled wisely and said, “But
what about the crowds. ...”

there remains excess capacity and

The C. I. O. convention took no

involved in war-time price control
into three groups, those arising
from an abnormal shortage of com-
modities, those resulting from /the
government’s ascendency to the po-
sition of a large buyer, and /infla-
tionary problems involving the ris-
ing prices which accompany an in-
crease in spending and inyestment.
In approaching his problem, Mr.
Hardy assumes that the /fulfillment
of military orders and the impetus
which war production/ gives to all
investment will absorb the slack
imposed by the recent depression
and accordingly bring on a period
ef rising prices. /If this be the
case, conditions quite the opposite
of those prevalent in the last dec-
ade will exist, for full employment
of resources would be reached.

Many Washington economists,
however, do not believe that the de-
fense program will be sufficient to
pull us out/ of depression, and are

cussion of inflation, Mr. Hardy
said. These economists believe that
the country was, in the last ten
years, undergoing a period of secu-
lar stagnation and has been con-
fronted with a basic defficiency of
opportunity for investment. They
capacity
amounts to three times that taken

| up by the defense program demand.
This divergence of opinion is re-’

lated to basic theoretical differ--
erices, and Mr. Hardy showed how
statistical data had been incapable
of resolving these differences.

As to control of the prices of
consumers’ goods, Mr. Hardy dis-
cussed the probability of intelligent
control: of rents, and holds that
there’ is no real excuse for a food
administration like that of the last

of most food commodities.
The question of tax policy was

out how this, too, depended on the
views of the authorities concerning

considered a drag on inflation, but
may reverse this policy since it
finds itself responsible for financing
the defense program. Curtailment
of other governmental expenditures
is in order, however, to make room
for defense expenditures. Such
shifts as converting CCC camps
into military training camps, and
changing loans on cotton to the
buying of cotton for military uses
are types of adjustments which can
be made.

Another. political problem involv-
ing defense activities was the ques-
tion of whether the program was
to -be directed by existing govern-
mental agencies granted extended
power, or by newly:created agen-
cis. Political controversies and in-
terdepartmental jealousy figured
in the quiet scrapping of the old
War Resources Board, and the Na-
tional Defense Advisory Commis-
sion was set up by way of a com-
promise. Mr. Hardy said that its
weakness was that no one person
on it had direct responsibility,











Mr. Hardy divided the problems

unwilling fo see the United States
drawn into the Europgan conflict.
“The great problem of the C. I. O.
concerned, Mr. Neifield said; ‘the

in five years, the C. I. O. hopes
that this figure will hit. the 10,000,-
000 mark in 1944,

Mr. Neifield reported also on the
C. I: O.’s endorsement of the Na-
tional Youth Act, and on Lewis’
significant statement: “The nation
in the future must look more and
more to the ranks of labor to pro-
duce its public. men.”

Miss Reid

The Supreme Court last, week
handed down two important. deci-
sions. The first, on the Federal
Water Power Act, defined federal
control over all waterways in this
country, considerably - extending
federal power over commerce. The
second decision affirmed the right
of states to tax inter-state ‘com-
panies in proportion to their busi-
ness in the state. Many states,
seeking a solution to the chain
store problem, will undoubtedly
take advantage of this decision.

At his press conference on Tues-
day, President Roogevelt suggested
a plan’to give aid to Britain with-
out raising the question of credits.
America should produce arma-
ments for herself alone. They
would remain ours, and would sim-
ply be loaned to Britain for the
duration of the war. Any ques-
tions of return could be considered
at the end of the war.

Argentine and Uruguay have
agreed on a joint defense program
and plan to conclude a commercial
treaty.._Four or five other coun-
tries will cooperate on the commer-
cial pact, and there is the possibili-
ty of the formation of a customs
union, which would act as a coun-
terweight against American domi-
nation.

Monday. All afternoon labora-

Wednesday and Thursday after-

This new plan should allow for
more flexibility and fewer conflicts.
It will also facilitate cooperation
with neighboring colleges.

Peggy Squibb, president of the
Athletic Association, proudly an-

wagon. A calendar for its uses;
will be posted and a rental fee will
be charged. Mr. Watson already
has extensive plans for its use by
the geology department and many
other requests have been submit-
ted. It is to be remembered, how-
ever, that the Athletic Association
is the owner of the car and as such
has priority rights.

Among other matters discussed
by the Council was the method of
conducting collegiate examinations.

As a result, a resolution was passed
by the faculty, stipulating that stu-

present this resolution to the under-

_ Dog-Terror Pales the Bryn Mawr Poet

Nor Does She Love the Gamboling Dane



By Sally Jacob, ’43

There are a lot of books written
about dogs. There are a lot of
lovely drawings of dogs for almost
every use. Dogs are always win-
ning photography contests. Con-
sider the dogs on the Bryn Mawr
College campus.

They vary. There de little dogs
and big dogs, and dirty dogs and
clean dogs, and sad dogs and happy

. dogs, and cute dogs and bothersome

dogs—almost every type. We don’t
have too great a variety of dogs,
but we certainly can’t complain
about. quality.
The dogs on' campus are always
entertaining the students. There
is the Great Dane type of episode.
As-you go tearing from Taylor to
the library with papers trailing in
the breeze, you see in the distance
a monstrous brute. With great
ounds—each leap takes him six
et off the ground—he approaches
ou. For a split second you won-









der whether to run like fury or to
display an icy calm. While you
stroll with’ exaggerated slowness
towards the blessed refuge of the
Library, the great beast gambols
about you until he decides that -you
really are not interested in play-
ing. In search of new prey he
leaps off angrily.

Then there is the stray-dog inci-
dent: of ‘the little mangy cur who
follows you home from the village.
Though you-pay no attention to
him and cruelly leave him outside,
you meet him during the next few
months every: morning on the way
to classes. . He looks at you re-
proachfully and stalks off haught-
ily to Rhoads whére he knows some-
one will feed him: :

There is also the dog-by-moon-
light adventure. It happens as you
leave the Library on a lovely moon-
light night. Charmed py the silv-
ery rays you are thinking poetic
thoughts, when suddenly a were-
