Theatre Workshop, March
“Now that the war is on,
ters we can now go back to our
job,” declared W. H. Au-
den, first speaker in the series for
the benefit of the Chinese Scholar-

ship ‘Fund.

The Auden group began a liter-
ary movement to,bring art into
contact with life. Since profes-
sional; politicians were not taking
the Chinese and Spanish wars ser-
iously, they felt they had to be-
come reportorfal, and to give the
public a_ social-conscience. Mr.
Auden confessed they all enjoyed
those years very much, feeling
‘terribly important.” The trouble
was not their subject matter, but
that they were writing news and
not doing it as well as professional
journalists.

Mr. Auden believes the trend of
art is now definitely away from
reportage and political subjects.
“A writer is more apt™ to do a
Biography of Erasmus during a
war than a White Cliffs of Dover,”
but whatever they write it will be
relevant to contemporary events,
though it may not mention air-
planes or submarines. “I find my-
self interested in finding out what
kind of mind it’s possible to fight
a war on,” he confessed.

Alfred Barr to Give
1943 Flexner Lecture

Alfred Hamilton Barr, Jr., di-
rector of the Museum of Modern
Art in New York, will be the
speaker for the Flexner Lectures
next year. He received his A.B.
and A.M. degrees at Princeton and
studied further at Harvard. He
has been instructor in history of
art at Vassar, assistant in fine arts
and archeology at Princeton, and
since 1929, director of the Museum.
He is also a trustee for the insti-
tute of Modern Art in Boston, and
was one of the editors of Art In
America. Mr. Barr’s lectures will
probably be on Aspects of Modern
Art, and it is hoped that exhibits
can be brought to the college and

First Aid Maintains Priority in Popularity

As Defense Courses

Complete Fourth Week



By Sally Matteson, 43
After four weeks of the new de-
fense courses, all sorts of people
find themselves equipped to do all
sorts of things. The air raid war-

dens have been whizzed through a
streamlined First Aid course,

‘injuries which would be likely to
occur in case of “an incident,” -as
they call it. Snake bites were
omitted.

Bryn Mawr’s noble fire-fighters
brought their stirrup- pump and
bucket brigade technique into play
in a gallant, though somewhat in-
effectual, battle with a bonfire be-
‘hind'‘the power house. They have
also had proved: to them by *ome

that a magnesium bomb is almost
impossible to extinguish.

The people taking the course in
office techniques are seeing a light-
er side of the defense picture. They
are setting up, in theory, a branch
of a Union, Maine, home-made
food concern on Peach Street, in
Wilmington, Delaware. In consid-
ering all the problems which would
face the founder of a new office,

see that there is enough room
around each desk, and map out the
floor-space so that the routes most
traveled by the office workers will

intersect as little as possible. The

placement .of the water-cooler
seems to be a vital factor.

the Bryn Mawr Hospital last week
they practiced giving Mrs. Page a
bed-bath. Mrs .Page is a life-sized

Aiders will work on themselves.
Standard First Aid is the way
‘most of the people have chosen to
be on the alert. Every Tuesday

down to the gym, where sometimes,
kneeling in a large circle, they
salaam in a peculiar way to the
mystical refrain, “forward, swing,
release, rest, rest.” At other times |
they beset Miss Jaeger with para-|
doxes: “If you were being chsaed

escape was by swimming across a

passed on plans for an accelerated
college program.

The committee recommended ‘to
the faculty that certain students
for whom an accelerated program
is important be allowed to complete
the work for the B.A. degree in
less than four years, All plans for
such acceleration will have to be
approved in advance by the Com-
mittee on Curriculum, the student’s
major department, the department
in which the summer work is to be
done. Acceleration is expected to
be carried out at special summer
sessions (longer than the usual
summer school) at, approved uni-
versities.

Miss Ward presented a report on
her study of the problems of an ac-
celerated program. She has met
interested students of the Junior
and Sophomore Classes. Freslimen
will be interviewed shortly. Many
of. the students were advised to
pursue more profitable alternatives.
Some of the students have serious

entrance to medical school, gradu-
ate school and defense positions.

‘Potential Fifth Columnists See Processes

For Making Supposedly Non-Existent Tires



. By Barbara Hull, ’44

Making tires is not a simple pro-
cedure. We realize this after per-
sonally inspecting the Lee tire fac-
tory in Conshohocken. In spite of
the fact that production is being
curtailed, they are making tires
for military and essential def@nse
purposes. We were able to follow

‘the entire process” from™ the~piles}-

of crude rubber to the last paint
job on the Lee trade mark.

* We waited anxiously in a huge
room filled with busily clicking
comptometers and _ typewriters,
wondering whether war production
would scare the authorities into
thinking that we were fifth -col-
umnists in disguise. Finally we
were introduced to “Frank,” who
led: us tires ‘toa large room. containing
bales of crude rubber. These were
about two feet long and a foot
square, grey in color. Here he
began his lecture, trying to keep
it as untechnical as possible. He
had apparently decided that we
were not science majors. Even so,
with the noise of the factory and
the unfamiliar terms, we required
repeated explanation§, after which
Frank often replied, “Sure, clear





as mud,” to our nods of under-
standing.

We watched the crude vubber
come out of the “hot box,” broken
down into smaller pieces ready to

be loaded with sulphur and other ,

materials into wagons which were
weighed to determine whether the
correct amounts were present, Our

On the Books

‘We look on our student’ Curriculum Committee with admir-
ation but also with something of disappointment. Our right to
form such a committee is no common one; its achievements should
be equally notable. But as we review this year, we find that
nothing new has been added—and in a time when the problems
of curriculum are unusually difficult and important.

Two reasons for this apparent lethargy are easily found; the
first is the fact that, after the remarkable renaissance of the com-
mittee a year ago, lines for development were clearly laid. Work
along these ‘lines is in progress; it has not needed publicity, and
the results cannot yet be fully announced. However, the second
reason for the committee’s stagnation is more important. It is
not a representative body; its interests therefore do not coincide
with the main issues as the students see them.

The members of the committee should be’ elected by the
Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors from each major department ;
not chosen by the existent committee from a list of volunteers.
‘Each department should ber recognized=there should be a-repre-
sentative from both the politics and the economics students, al-
though their studies are at the moment merged into one depart-
ment.

If this democratization of the committee could be .accom-

__ plished, if. meetings could be held more frequently and could be}

supplemented by hall discussions dnd periodically, by presentation
to the entire college, problems could be more effectively dealt with,

Ss, see a full and incisive consideration of the extension of the

hap
methods of honors work, the interdepartmental courses and of the
~ opportunities for new teaching which both of these will offer, and
of other questions which have been mooted but which now, like
sleeping dogs, have been allowed to lie.

Hanover Plans Course

In Writing by S. Cox



A summer course in writing is
being offered again by Mr. Sidney

| Cox, Professor of English at Dart-

mouth College. The course is de-
signed for a limited number of
men and women interested in writ-
ing with direction and criticism by
the teacher and_ fellow-writers.
Members of the class are selected
on the basis of specimens of their
work, not in excess of 5,000 words,
to be submitted not later than
June 1.

The group meets with Professor
Cox three mornings a week to dis-
cuss their own and other writing
in full, informal conversations. It
is an eight week term, from July
7 to August 28, though participa-
tion is possible for shorter per-
iods. The fee is seventy-five dol-
lars per person for the whole ses-
sion or ten dollars a week. The
classes are held in Hanover, New
Hampshire.

Mr. Cox before taught writing
and English at Bread. Loaf, the
Cummington School, Columbia Uni-
versity, and the State University
of Montana. He is the author of
The Teaching of English and Rob-
ert Frost; Original “Ordinary

BETTY WELLS



On the Home Front

By Jessie Stone, ’44



The war has brought a new and
welcome development into the.
neighborhood life in Philadelphia.
Civilian Defense Citizens’ Commit-
tees are forming in post after neat |
throughout the city. Back porch|
talk is now corcerned with sand-
buckets and prices of stirrup
pumps. People are opening their
homes to all who would come and
talk about incendiary bombs and!
somehow mimeograph machines
turn up and send out annouhce-
ments of progress.



But the Citizens’ Committees are
meeting snags and this is why:

From the first, orders went out
from the top saying that each zone
must have a headquarters and
equipment. The people read these
orders and took the matter in hand.
Citizens from the committees car-
ried on door to door collections for|
money to buy equipment and offered |
their garages for headquarters. !
The garages proved inadequate. My |
senior post warden says that the
Citizens’ Committee is ‘“conscien-
tious to a fault;’’ more active mem-|
bers spend an enormous amount of |
time and effort looking for. rock-
bottom prices in equipment. In-
stead of buying the Red Cross First
Aid box as it comes, they propose
to buy each piece separately, to
furnish any old clean box—all to|
save money. The Citizens’ Com-
mittee bought sand for the neigh-'
borhood and their children— rang:
doorbells telling us the sand waa |
there; then their sons came around}
to help people carry the sand home.

Then the order went out from
Judge McDevitt and others at the
top, out to the zone wardens and
from them to the sector wardens
and finally to the posts; Discourage
Citizens’ Committees. Don’t men-
tion the word “committee” in your
bulletins. Why? The reason given
by Judge McDevitt is the danger of |
profiteering. Citizens’ Committees
may no longer collect money. In
posts where money was collected
and no equipment was bought,

‘Freshmen Swimmers

Over Swarthmore’s Well-Guarded Garnets! Win Interclass Meet



Gymnasium, February 28.—Bryn
Mawr’s basketball team won again
this Saturday by a score of 40-22.

Last week’s tie with Penn, after
the Owls had been ahead until the

‘last quarter, spurred the latter on
to keep a good lead in the Swarth-

more game. The half ended with

| Bryn Mawr well ahead, 20-8. Play-
ers were encouraged, too, by a large

audience. Chris Waples. was a

|“steady” when it came to: action;

putting the greatest possible en-
into every move, shooting
from the middle of the floor and
from the sidélines, pivoting and
passing like a;professional. The

'height of the ther two forwards,

Gifford and Meyers, helped them to

Rouen the ball with comparative

ease. The forwards were backed

up by depéndable guards who con-
tinually passed them the: ball to
keep the Swarthmore score down.
In the third quarter it looked as
though Swarthmore were going to
make a stand... Its passing” was
swift and skillful, but no more so
than that of the Bryn Mawr team.
| But the Garnet guards were un-
able to cope with Bryn Mawr’s
forwards and made a number
fouls,” especially against
Gifford.
The undefeated second team
again showed its ability, though it
is remarkably slower than the

Varsity, and defeated the Garnets

|either because of insufficient time |

or inability to procure such things
as stirrup pumps because the gov-
ernment has priorities on them,
every cent was given back.

But where is the money to come
from and how soon? The hundred
million dollars’ appropriated by
Congress for Civilian Defense is
admittedly insufficient. The City
Government speaks vaguely of do-
ing something. The Legislature at
Harrisburg has a bill
somewhere setting aside five per
cent of sales tax revenue for State
Civilian Defense purposes. But
things move so slowly at Harris-
burg and in Philadelphia.

It. seems probable that an_iso-
lated Citizens’ Committee might
tamper with its funds, although
there are no statistics on the sub-
ject. Nevertheless, the Citizens’
Committees have an _ important
function. Confronted with lethar-
gic legislative bodies what better

Modern Dance Groups From Cheyney, Penn,

Bryn Mawr Perform With Spirit, Precision’



Goodhart, February 26. — The
Modern Dance Club presented a
demonstration with the dance
groups of Cheyney State Teachers
College andthe University of Penn-

sylvania.

The Pennsylvania group, directed
by Miss Ruth Alexander, opened
the program, They presented a
series of studies in composition,
demonstrating interesting se-
quences: of movement. Most im-
pressive was this group’s follow-
the-leader interpolations. Here one
girl would lead a short series of
movements, the group following her
spontaneous motion, one by one.

Pennsylvania also did a stylized
folk.dance. The performance, us-
ing and exaggerating the move-
ments of the: American Square
Dance—the clapping of hands, the
stamping of feet—was a spirited
caricature.

This same element of caricature
came out in “Oh, My Darling,” a
stylized dramatization of the Clem-
entine melodrama, which was

danced to the words of the song.
The Pennsylvania dancers made
happy use of a well-trained and
versatile pianist.
The Cheyney State Teachers Col-
lege group, led by Miss Harriet
Young, presented the first part of
a ballet. The dance was symbolic
of early non-western negro-culture.
It was ritualistic, the action un-
selfconscious and_ well-patterned,
progressing from formal to more
varied and more facile movement.
Bryn Mawr’s Modern Dance
Club, under the direction of Miss
Ruth Schindler, concluded the pro-
gram. They presented the work
in technique which they have been
doing. The series of stretches and
extensions exhibited excellent con-
trol and balance. The Club gave a
short stylized folk dance which was
interesting to contrast with Penn-
sylvania’s treatment of the same
subject. The Bryn Mawr Club laid
more emphasis on the figures fa-
miliar in the American Square
Dance, less on individual action,

and did not rely on exaggeration.

City Lights

hearings began in City Hall; the
city joined the P. U. C. to protest
the fare rise.

January 6: Without preliminary,
Commissioner Richard J. Beamish
rose and boomed charges of corrup-.
tion, graft, and a-watered capital
structure. He demanded that the
P. T. C. plea be withdrawn. P. T. C.
Counsel Frederic Ballard blinked
politely and proceeded smoothly to
inform Rough Richard that the
tariff rise was necessary. In the
last quarter of 1941, he said, gross
revenue increased: 12-per-cent-while
net revenues decreased 23 per cent.
A higher and more attractive rate
structure would be necessary to
maintain the company’s credit, so
that much-needed new equipment
could be financed.

Brightest bone tossed was costs
(or, what are they?). Told that
their cost statements were too con-
vertiently general, the P. T. C. re-
turned the next day armed with
DATA. These figures, it was re-
vealed, were drawn up by compar-
ing the cost of 1200 items bought
last year with their present prices
and extending the average per-
centage increase found to a list of
40,000 other items also used by
the P. T. C. This method of cal-
culation did not appeal to our
Beamish boy. So they all went
home again.

After a month of Monet,

magic, the P; T. C., backed by ex-
perts, brought in specific cost data:
The experts were Day and Zimmer-
man, engineers. Warren Samborn,
manager. of Day & Zimmerman,
spread before the examiner a beau-

tiful array of figures on the cost-
of-reproduction new-of P. T. C.
property.

“Do you know,” Beamish asked
Samborn, blandly, “that W. Findlay
Downs, president of Day and Zim-
merman, is an executive director
of the: P.. 1. C.t”

Samborn did.

“Db you think,” cooed our
Beamish boy, “that this fact might
possibly affect the figures you are
presenting? —

Samborn did not. :

The hearings have been like that.
You know, color, whimsy. There
was the hearing of February 19,
when the question came up, (yes—
it did come Up) of the effect of the
fare rise on the car rider. Hop-
kinson, chairman of the P. T. C.,
said this problem had been care-
fully considered, that “it was with
igreat reluctance that we found it
necessary to ask an_ increase.”
Beamish of the strong lungs rose,
furious, inspired: ‘‘What mean ye
that ye beat my people to pieces,
and grind the faces of the poor,
saith the Lord God of Hosts.”

Then there was, the time that
Beamish the Incorrigible—who pro-
vided headlines at every other hear-
ing, regularly, by Demanding That
the Petition Be Withdrawn—not
only demanded withdrawal, but in-

Mr. Jones Conduets
Town Meeting Panel
On Youth and Future



A Main Line community group
met last Thursday at Haverford
Court to hold a discussion pat-
terned on Benjamin Franklin’s
“Junto.” About forty people of all
ages met together to listen to the
Town Meeting of the Air program,

erator and eleven sat

around the junto table and pre-
sented prepared arguments and
topics for discussion. During the
radio program, wine was passed
around in the good Ben Franklin
tradition.

Haverford and Bryn Mawr stu-
dents, *having together seven rep-
resentatives at the junto table,
tended to monopolize the meeting,
and, contrary to the original in-
tention, the discussion had little

to do with what was said on the

radio program. The latter, run
by high school students in Toledo;
was general, and it seemed to ar-
rive at the conclusion that youth
was undisciplined and needed
proper education. At the Main
Line meeting more personal views
were expressed. Three Haverford
students brought up the following
points: that “youth” is artificially
and illogically separated from the
rest of society as a special inter-
est, almost a pressure, group; that
the elements of skepticism, fatal-
ism, and idealism conflict in the
minds of modern students; and
that a revitalized religion is needed

| to give younger people inner peace.

The meeting closed with an incon-
clusive discussion 6f thé place of

the P. T. C. directors met, deliber-

ish siggestion.)

And there was the time Beamish
threatened that if the Governor
James-inspired proposal that the
hearings be held in Harrisburg, be-
hind closed doors, was put into ef-
fect, he himself would reveal to the
public—word for word—what went

Triple Victory Won
Over Cricket Club in
Badminton Matches



February, 25.—Bryn Mawr scor-
ed a triple victory over the Merion
Cricket Club Badminton Team in
| three sets of doubles.

| The first match foretold a suc-
cessful afternoon’ for the Owls.
Mariana Schweitzer and Margie
Perkins presented good team play,
Mariana in top form and Margie
outplaying Merion on good net
shots. Bryn Mawr felt secure
with a good margin of 10-3 in the
second game and relaxed. It con-
sequently had a hard time main-
taining its lead. .There was, how-
ever, better playing and more com-
petition on both sides as the game
progressed.

The second match was fast, in-
volving all four players most of
the time. Merion made excellent
cross-court shots, but Bryn. Mawr
covered thé court more adequately,
and so was able to return them
easily. - At the end of the first
game Bryn Mawr weakened and
made several wild shots. The sec-
ond game of the match was played
more viciously. Merion seemed
rattled, although Miss Ott was
capable in covering the court.

Merion’s strategic serving put
the Owls on the defensive in the
first game of the final match. But
the Owls later redeemed themselves
by their agility and by strength
of their. shots. There was little
placement in the first game. In
the second, however, Bryn Mawr’s
net shots won because Merion did
not reach them.

Perkins and Schweitzer beat
Crawford and Keady, 15-4, 17-16.

Murphy and Schapiro beat Chase
and Ott, 18-14, 15-7.

Case and Hall beat Walker and
Hulme, 15-10, 15-8.

both games, and_their. well-placed

straight games to win the first
match.

The second match was not
played nearly as vigorously as the
first. But each side made place-
ments that outwitted the oppo-
nents. _Mr. Berry, who with Mr.
Broughton composed the faculty
team, has a strategic serve to the
left-hand shoulder, which is ver-
itably impossible for the receiver
to get.

Harriet Case and Jane Hall,
after having lost the first game,
won the two succeeding games and
the match. There was much use-
less rallying, but as the second
game progressed the play sharp-
ened, .

The third game was tense; the
score hung at 14-12 in favor of
the girls, and it looked as if the
faculty might rally to win with
Mr. Broughton’s good deep serves.
Mr. Berry was all too agile in
covering the court, attempting to
play his partner’s shots as well as
his own. After many breathless
rallies the girls won the final point
and the match.

ments. The many fine documen-
tary films now being produced
make the projector especially valu-
able.

The drive to collect money for
the camera first began four years
ago when the Freshman English
department raised 27 dollars for
the project. At that time, Miss
Park donated 50 dollars, but the
money remained only a nest egg
until several other departments be-
came interested during the last
year and reopened the campaign.

Last week the committee for the
projector received a contribution of
250 dollars from the Alumnae As-
sociation. With donations from the
science and _ psychology depart-
ments and from the Freshman Eng-
lish staff, the goal of 400 dollars
has almost been reached. Fifty
dollars still remains to be raised
for a silver screen to accompany
the projector.

needed, Mr. Watt pointed out,
leads naturally in war time to a

in all except the language study

Spinoza Fells Wastrel,
Or Philosophy in Action



A girl we know was taking that
desultory ride from Philadelphia
to New York last Friday night.
The coach being inhabited by noth-
ing more promising than Princeton
boys with beer cans, she settled
down to a bout with Spinoza, on
God. Suddenly a large inebriated
gentleman plumped down into the
adjoining seat. “Little girl,” he
leered (she is rather a dramatic
‘creature, and these are her very
words), “I’m going to scare hell
out of you.” “Oh, no you’re not,”
she stated firmly, and returned to
her Axioms‘and Scholiums. “Well,
then, let’s read together,” he
breathed chummily. A minute’s
pause, and then up he shot as if
hot-footed into the aisle. ‘Loudly
he cried, “What is this? To is or
to be not!” He stumbled away,
complaining to the interested car.

At Newark, our friend noticed
that the gentleman was lying prone,
and senseless, in the vestibule.



Auden Presents First

poetry of the last four years,
jsome poems, like those from Jowr-
| ney to a War, directly bearing on
war; others like Marriage, illus-
trated his theory that poetry can
be written which is relevant to war,
but does not treat of the actual sub-
ject matter of war.. Unfortunately,
Mr. Auden’s poetry is difficult to
fully understand at first hearing
and he appears to have little criti-
cal power. when faced with his
own work. The quality and merit
of those poems he read varied as
much as their subject matter. Pat-
ter poems like Villanelle and Law
alternated with his more serious
work, Lines on Breughel’s Fall of
Icarus, and the poem on refugees.

The Theatre Workshop appears
from last Sunday’s event to be a
perfect place for small lectures.
As one four-year contributor to
the Workshop fund remarked,

Tire Production Laid
Bare at Conshohocken

pieces for various grades and parts
of tires that we became confused.

From there we went into the
private life of an inner tube. Thin
rubber strips, sticky and _ pink,
were mole molded into tubes of the
right length, with openings at both
ends to prevent sticking. These
were coated with soapstone (“the
stuff you pay a dollar for to put
on your face,” said Frank). Then
a worker cut squares from the
open-ended tubes, inserting valves
and sealing them with rubber ce-
ment. At a nearby table the ends
were spliced together with 135
pounds’ pressure. At the next
stage these tubes were placed on
cylinders and inflated, then cov-
ered with an outer shell and kept
at 100 pounds internal steam
pressure for five to fifteen minutes,
depending on the size. Then the
pressure -was removed, the tire de-
flated, and an inner tube was com-
plete. There remained only water
baths and check-handling to insure
against possible-defects. Women
boxed the finished tubes and they
were ready for shipment.

Back again to the tires. This
time we saw the completed “car-
casses” (rubber coated fibers made
into numerous uniform _ strips
which formed the body of the
tire), like gigantic, thick hoops.
Next we were taken to the room
where these great barrels were
pressed into molds, forming smooth
tires. These were dropped into
deep tanks, each holding twenty
at a time. Hydaulic pressure was
exerted, and after several hours
the tires were removed, complete
with treads of various design.

We were now taken to an ad-
joining building, where these tires
were conveyed by a belt to be
looked over. Those passing in-
spection were painted black and
the Lee trademark was sprayed
on those for commercial use.

We asked where the already ex-

As we passed the main office
on our way out, we saw a sign
reading: “We all resolve to dp our
full share for Victory.” The rub-
bery smell overwhelmed us at first,

THE MUSIC. DEPARTMENT

Due’ to the fact that the Gilbert

Discussed by Arnold and Sullivan production is being

given with Haverford this year,
fewer Glee Club members will take
part in it. There appear to be
quite a number of singers who
would like to take an active.part in
some form of ‘singing organiza-
tion. As a result, Mr. Willoughby
is forming a Madrigal Club which
will include all members who have
had previous experience with the
Glee Club and those people who
are unable to take part in this
year’s Gilbert and Sullivan. This
group is not being formed as a
weekly sing-song, but definite plans
are being made to give a concert,
the date of which will be announced
as soon as final arrangements are
completed. - All those interested in
this new Madrigal Club should
meet in the Music Room of Good-
hart, at 6 o’clock promptly, on
Monday, March 9.

Common Room, March 3.—That
India is the “treasure house” of the
British Empire, is a prevalent but
false idea in the mind of the Ameri-
can public, stated Mrs. Manning
in Current Events. Neither in







per capita wealth or in war re-
sources is India as wealthy or as
important as Malay or Burma.
There is a mistaken idea that India
has been a great source of revenue
to England. Actually, Mrs. Man-
ning stated, India has done little
more than pay for its own govern-
ment.

A second misconception that
America holds concerning India,
and that has been fostered by the
New Republic and the Nation is
that India is united, and, if let
alone, could be self-governing. That



this notion is untrue is evidenced

declared, ultimate authority still
must fall to the British Viceroy.
