Bryn Mawr and William Shakespeare
We greet with not a little trepidation the knowledge that a group
of undergraduates has taken it upon themselves to give ‘us a production
in the near future of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Assuming for the
moment that they are not overly ambitious in attempting a Shakespeare
play at all, we feel most. strongly that Hamlet is a very unfortunate
choice. Last winter’s two famous Broadway productions, ‘each unique
and unsurpassable in its own way, leave little room for originality ‘or
improvement on the part of such an inexperienced group. of players.
We feel that Bryn Mawr can have nothing to add in a dramatic way to
the rich store of modern Hamletania. :
~ We are further concerned to learn that the students are attempting
this ambitious project without any men in the cast, and those of our
readers who are familiar with English Literature must be aware that
there are only two women’s parts of any consequence in the play.
Moreover, we have heard from an inside’ source that the play is being
given a woefully inadequate production, We.are convinced that,:since
the purpose of the performance is to increase the funds of Players’
Club, all. of the students and most of the faculty will certainly attend,
so that their half dollars and their valuable time will be grievously
wasted if the production proves. to-be, as it promises, an unfortunate,
we might almost say, a ludicrous failure. It is a, veritable disgrace to
the eollege at large—it is a disgrace that will not be easily lived down.
We warn these nameless undergraduates that they are about to per-
petrate something which will be a-blot*on the escutecheon of Bryn
‘Mawr’s good taste—more!which will be an insult to the sacred
reputation of William Shakespeare.
A Dillar a Dollar
This semester two cases have come before the Self-Government
board of students departing around 10 in the evening to sit in the
Greeks until 11.30, after having signed out “Seville-movies.” Unless
the rules are changed we agree with Self-Government in giving the
people involved stiff penalties, campusings of a week or more. But
we are not one to keep the Bryn Mawr girl from.her beer. Are these
sinners justified when they say that there is not enough time to eat if
they have to-be back in the halls by 10.30, and if they are what‘can be|
done about it?
The old argument that it doesn’t “look nice” for Bryn Mawr girls
to be hanging around the village so late, we think no longer holds.
Bryn Mawr has let its back hair dqwn sufficiently so that sitting in the
Greeks early or late is the same thing.
The time when most people want to go to the Greeks is.at 10, after
working i in the library. Consideging that it takes ten minutes each way
to the village, the amount of eating that can be done between then
and 10.30 is definitely limited. Before this time is too close to dinner
and ‘10.30 is a convenient stopping point in an evening’s work. 11.30
permission would not be necessary; three-quarters of an hour to an
hour affords plenty of time in which to satisfy the undergraduate
appetite. For these 10 o’clock eaters, if there are enough of them to
justify going through the red tape of getting official approval, we sug-
gest a new permission of 10.45 or 11. Our advice to potential criminals
at present is either to take to leaving the campus at quarter of 10 or to
fight for legal guzzling.

[ ' PUBLIC OPINION
To the Editors of the College News:
* Last spring the Non-Partisan Com-
mittee on Relief for Spanish Chil-
dren collected $315 ‘to aid the work
of the American Friends’ Service
Committee in feeding and repatriating
Recently the chair-
the following letter:
THE SPANISH CHILD FEEDING
MISSION
of the
American. Friends Service Committee
Philadelphia, Pa.
October 30th, 1937.
Dear Friend:
lief work, Spain was.in the headlines
and there was a great outpouring of
sympathy for the refugee children.
For‘several months your efforts con-
tributed toward support which ‘prom-
ised to assure them our’ anticipated
relief program of $10,000 a month.
We are now dismayed to discover
that during the past four months con-
tributions have been as follows:
July: $4310.55; August: $2038.63;
September: $3055.68 ;° October:
$1417.56.
You will note the downward trend.
Manifestly, these totals are far from
sufficient to carry the commitments
that we have made to our workers
in Spain. They are now seasoned and
experienced and have developed most
valuable lines of work. In addition,
we have underwritten the cost of op-
erating -three children’s hospitals
which were established by English
workers in Murcia, Almeria and Ali-
cante, and which were in danger of
being closed for lack of ‘funds. At
the moment our total commitments to
the field amount to $3000 a. month,
but should not be less than $6500.
I lay this situation before you with
much concern in thehope= that you
can stimulate people and organiza-
tions in your community to continue
their support of this impartial relief
effort. We believe that it is the most
powerful force for good will and
reconciliation. Under separate cover
you will receive shortly, a new bulle-
tin containing. excerpts from our
workers’ reports and other informa-
tion available for wide distribution.
Please advise us what quantities you
can use. Your suggestions are most
valuable. I would welcome the bene-
fit of your advice at this juncture.
Sincerely yours,
JOHN F. REIcH, Secretary,

A. ARROYO PUZZLED
BY ARCADIA MURALS
(First of a series of interviews with
the Foreign Graduate Students.) |
There: is one thing that Arsenia
Arroyo,’ Spanish Exchange student,
cannot understand in .America: the
murals in the Arcadia. She does not
see why, alongside of Hitler ard Mus-
solini and Blum ‘and Stalin in the
cosmopolitan bar, there should be a
Spanish bull-fighter. -She reads the
Times because it is most accurate on
Spain, but does not consider it very
satisfactory.
The Americans, whom she calls es-
sentially practical people, have been
very kind to her since she arrived
here in August. She and her sister
came over together, both to do chem-
istry. Miss Arroyo is specializing in
biochemistry and is especially inter-
ested in drugs. She has found that
Americans work continuously,..while.
the Spanish students, and especially
the men, ignore the lectures and pick
up the courses just before examina¢
tions. However they are quicker than
the Americans.
Miss Arroyo’s interests are extreme-
ly varied. She likes Bergson and
skiing; she considers Ortega/y Gasset
the best modern ‘Spanish : philosopher
and Domingo Ortega the best bull-
fighter. She loves Bach and Greta
Garbo: She doesn’t, like people to
smoke their own cigarettes when she
offers them hers. |

4-2 in Last Half Rally
Line-Up Change Baffles
Bryn Mawr Team
Visitors’
November 6.—The first half of a
‘hockey “game between Bryn Mawr
Varsity and Merion Cricket Club gave
indication of a superior team on~the
part of Bryn Mawr. ‘The pte:
were fast, the backs dependable, and
the passing between wings and inners
and from the backfield to the forward
line was diréct as well as effective.
The result of all this was a nominal
lead of two points at the end of the
half, 2-0, in favor, of Bryn Mawr.
In the intermission various in-
dividual problems were cleared up,
among them the rather difficult one
of disposing of Ann Townsend, vet-
eran fullback of the All-American
team, who always appeared where she
was least wanted as far as Bryn
Mawr was concerned. It was thought,
however, that she could be dealt with
rather severely in the second period.
Thus, full of confidence, Bryn Mawr
lined up for the second half only
to find that Libby ‘Toulmin had been
shifted from center-half to right-in-
ner. This proved a new source of
complaint. The effect on Bryn Mawr
was appalling, and it was not long
before center-forward French drove
two hard shots into the goal. Var-
sity had evidently used up a great
deal of energy in keeping the lead in
the first half, so it was to be expected
that it should experience a reactionary
slump. It was not thought, however,
that the reaction would be more or
less permanent, ending as it did in a
defeat for Bryn Mawr with a score
of 4-2.

migrant soldiers, while Masaryk
counteracted “the stupid materialism”
so prevalent in Central Europe.
One interesting incident, occurring
in the course of the work for the
Czechs’ freedom happened at a din-
ner where both Paderewski and Ma-
saryk were to speak. Paderewski de-
voted his entire speech to praising
Masaryk. Masaryk had not planned
a speech about Paderewski, but im-
provised one about Art and Politics
in Poland, emphasizing the pianist’s
connection with Polish freedom, com-
pletely winning the New York press.
By October 26, 1918, the Mid- Euro- °
pean Union, composed of ‘eleven-na- ~
tional groups, was able to meet -in
Philadelphia and, with stormy dis-
cussion, draft the Declaration of In-
Mr. Miller, the Ameri-
can representative of the Union,
worked with Masaryk on this and on .
the Constitution of the Republic of
Czechoslovakia. It was a notable fact
that the press was so much in sympa-
thy with the welfare of the Little En-
tente, that nothing was published con-
cerning the conflicts. at the confer-
ence,
The actual declaration was issued
from Washington after being ap-
proved from the Czech headquarters
at Paris. A cable announcing the
election of Masaryk as President of
the Republic was received along with
an enthusiastic telegram from Presi-
dent Wilson.
Mr. Miller prefaced his lecture by
saying it was sponsored by the gradu-
ate club, but mainly by Dean Schenck.
He also felt that it was particularly
ow
«
{fitting that his tribute should be given
at a woman’s college, for Masaryk
believed so strongly in the equality of
men and women that he took his wife’s
maiden name as his middle name.
In the audience was Colonel Hur-
the Czech y to get through Si-
beria to join the French army. _
