Pollack and Ellickson :
Discuss Opportunities
In Labor Organization



Deanery, February 24: Labor
was the subject treated in the lat-
est conference arranged by the
Vocational Committee. The speak-
ers were Mrs. Katherine Pollack
Ellickson, Assistant Director of
Research in the CIO, and Dr. Alice
Cheyney, former Assistant Direct-
or of. the Washington Office and
member of the Geneva Staff of the
Industrial Labor Office.

Mrs. Ellickson stressed the ad-
visability of developing relation-
ships with the labor movements in
Philadelphia’ for anyone interested
in entering this field. Many op-
portunities are open for women,
she said, but a prerequisite for al-
most any job is stenography.

In order to understand the
worker’s outlook, Mrs. Ellickson
stated, it is worthwhile to work in
a factory, to get a job in some
union office in research or admin-
istrative work, or to take part in
the educational program of the
unions,

Dr. Cheyney spoke about the
International Labor Organization,
which was founded after the last
war to provide for simultaneous
improvements in the labor condi-
tions of the member nations. The
ILO held an annual conference in
Geneva to which every country
sent delegates. As the war ap-
proached the ILO’s membership
dwindled and in 1940 it was forced
to move its center of operations
from Geneva to Canada.

“In the ILO women are on an
equal basis with men,’ stated Dr.
Cheyney. There are many oppor-
tunities in services of the organi-
zation such as the Maritime, Ag-
riculture, and Women and Children
Services. The work varies from
service to service, and one may
study statistics, labor legislation,
the conditions of labor, or pick out
new developments from a steady
stream of periodicals. A knowl-
edge of French is usually a re-
quirement; and the demand for
Spanish is rapidly increasing,
while that for German is decreas-
ing.

Practical Revising

privilege. Several changes should
be made in the existing smoking
rules and we suggest that the res-
olution read as follows:
SMOKING IS ALLOWED:

1. On-all- College grounds with the res-
ervation that, if at any time the beau-
ty or neatness of the campus is de-
stroyed, the Administration or the Ex-
ecutive Board may limit the smoking
area.

2. In the hall smoking rooms, libraries,
showcases, and other places designated
for the purpose. 2

3. Off campus anywhere except on main
roads or streets.

The Board is unanimous in be-
lieving that the existing regula-
tions concerning drinking should
remain unchanged.

We suggest that part B of the
Resolution concerning Dress be
amended to read:

B. ATHLETIC COSTUME, TROUSERS, AND

SHORTS MAY NOT BE WORN:

1, Off campus except when walking or

bicycling in directions other than the
Village.

We believe that the Hall Regu-
lations should stand except that
the following paragraph should be
omitted:

“The Executive Advisory Boards
reserve the right to confiscate the
radio of any student who fails to
observe this rule.”

We believe that the regulations
concerning Saunder’s Barn should
remain unchanged except that it
seems unnecessary that two stud-
ents walk or cycle there in the day-
time and we suggest that the first
sentence of part A be removed.

We believe that the resolution
concerning bicycling after dark
should be maintained in the inter-
ests of common safety.

There are two possible methods
by which these changes can be
made; by a mass meeting of the
members of the Association, and
by the legislature (see Article VI).
In order to save studying time, it
would seem that those points on
which there could be little debate
(such as the omission of the par-
agraph about confiscating radios)
should be acted on by the legisla-
ture. The major revisions in sign-
ing-out, smoking, etc., should be
changed by the Association as a
whole.

The changes we have presented
in the Articles and Resolutions
have not been suggested ‘in any at-
tempt to make the rules more lib-
eral but because it seems necessary
to simplify and clarify the pres-
ent legislation and to remove rules
which are now pointless. The
Boards will present the changes
outlined in Articles VI, VIII, IX,
and ‘in Resolutions VII, VIII, IX,
XII, XIII in a mass meeting next
week. There may be other points
which we have omitted in our con-
sideration of the rules. We hope
that anyone who has suggestions
regarding the subjects we have
treated here or other” matters
which should be brought to gen-
eral attention will consult a mem-
ber of the Executive Board before
the meeting.

Lorna Cooke Advocates Increased Choir;
Plans Smaller Group for Informal Singing



Taking time out from endless
Mikado tryouts, Miss Lorna
Cooke, newly-arrived director of
the Choir and the Glee Club, ex-
pressed some of her plans for the
coming year. Eager to have the
Mikado actually under way, she
predicted that “we will have to
work like mad on it.”

and has been chosen director of
the camp for this summer. She is
a Junior representative to the
Self-Government Associatign and
vice-president of her class. She is
a member of the Dance Club and
the French Club.

Rebecca Wood

Rebecca Wood was the Fresh-
man Show Poster manager, and
her hall representative in her
well as the
Sophomore representative to the
League. She is the Junior Secre-
tary and Treasurer of the League.

Charlotte Binger

Charlotte Binger has been a
member of the Spanish Club her
Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior
years. She was also in the Fresh-
man Show and in the operetta
“Patience”. In both her Sopho-
more and Junior years she has
read to the blind, been a member
of the Radio Club, and been on
the News subscription board. This
year she is on the Chapel Com-
mittee and belongs to the Glee
Club.

Jeanne-Marie Lee

Jeanne-Marie Lee was the as-
sistant director of the Pembroke
West hall play her Freshman year.
She was hall representative her
Freshman and Junior years, and
taught Maid’s classes her Sopho-
more year. While vice-president
of her class last year she served
on the Sophomore Carnival Com-
mittee. She was the Junior rep-
resentative on the 1944 yearbook
and busiriess manager of the 1943
Freshman handbook. Having
been a member of the. Business
Board of the News her Freshman
and Sophomore years, she is at
present advertising manager of
the News. She now holds the
newly-created position of: Common
Treasurer.



The choir, Miss Cooke feels,
should be enlarged to sixty. or one
hundred voices, with perhaps half
if it singing at each chapel serv-
ice. After commending the pres-
ent choir,’ she said that there
were probably many good voices
outside the choir and enlargement
of it would mean a chance for
more girls to come into contact
with fine music.

Her favorite idea, with a bigger
choir, would be “to form a small
octet or twelvetet like the Whif-
fenpoofs” which would present
small informal programs and sing
in the halls. With an eye toward
a concert with Princeton or Har-
vard in late May, Miss Cooke has
introduced secular music in the
choir’s repertoire.

Settled now in Goodhart _base-
ment, Miss Cooke said she “just
can’t get away from music, “what
with the practise rooms in con-
stant use by pianists and harpists
and with even the porter loudly
practising hymns. Bryn Mawr,
she feels, possesses much “latent
talent” which she hopes to dig
out. :

A Wellesley graduate, Miss
Cooke has come recently from
Radcliffe where she was assistant
conductor of the choral society and
conductor of the choir, and also
assisted G. Wallace Woodworth
at the Harvard Chapel. While at
Wellesley, besides majoring in
music and minoring in French
and Italian, Miss Cooke was the
college song leader for two years
and sang in the choir and in the
Madrigal group.

Jazz, Miss Cooke asserts, defi-
nitely has its place in the world.
A staunch advocate of jazz if well
done, she last year worked up a
jazz quartet at Radcliffe in con-
nection with the U. S. O., as well
as heading a musical show in her
Junior year at Wellesley. Her in-
terest in music is rather in work-
ing through people than in music-
ology or in “reading in old stacks”.

Green and Malraux

Treated by M. Peyre

duty of the literary critic to bring
a study of the past to bear upon
the present in the interpretation of
contemporary life. Because of this
time element, M. Peyre has divided
the novelists into “generations”
for purposes of criticism.

M. Peyre’s “younger generation”
includes those whose development
took place largely in the war and
post-war years. With them an era
of escapism began, typified by the
works of Giono. Another reaction,
notably that of Celine, was to give
vent to the writer’s indignation at
the brutality of war.

M. Peyre chose, first, Julian
Green, as one of the greater rep-
resentatives of the “younger gen-
eration.” Green, he explained, was
obsessed by the mysteries of her-
edity and examined himself to see.
its effects. Green’s themes include
solitude, fear, and death. Green is
a surrealist in literature, repre-
senting a school of future possi-
bilities, in M. Peyre’s estimation.

Malraux attempted to answer a
problem that has been besetting
generations of novelists—whether
we know ourselves best in static
analysis or in action and commun-
ion with other beings—by an

amalgamation of the two methodsi””

In this respect he represents the
nearest equivalent to Dostoyevsky
in the French novel. Malraux shows
the “confusion of values and ideas
in the modern world” by his ad-
mirable mixture of scenes of vio-
lent action interspersed with per-
iods of deep meditation.
