Campus Approves
Planned Assembly

Series This Year



Most Against Compulsory

Attendance; War Talks
Arranged



In the campus poll on the ques-
tion of required assemblies 181
students voted for the plan as pro-
posed, while 188 approved the as-
semblies if attendance were not
required.

Since these represented a large
majority of the votes, a series of
assemblies with non-required at-
tendance is being planned by a
joint committee of students and
faculty.

The series will deal generally
with the background and course of
the war. Members of the faculty
and a few people from outside will
be the speakers. Before each lec-
ture a bibliography will be posted
and the books listed will be avail-
able in the Reserve Room,

The assemblies, with the excep-
tion of the first, will be held on
Wednesdays from 12:30 until 1:30
P. M.. Classes on those days will
start at 8:30 A. M., and lunch will
be served at 1:80.

The tentative plan for the series
is as follows: March 1—11:00 A.
M.: Causes: Diplomatic and Politi-
cal. Mr. Wright; March 10—12:30
P. M.: Ideology: Fascism in Three
States; April 7—12:30 P. M.: Rus-
sian Communism and American
Democracy; April 14—12:30 P. M.:
Congress and War and Peace. Pol-
icy; April 21—12:30 P. M.: Course

question of the interrelation of |

creation and time,” declared Dr. | .
Erich Frank in his lecture in the
Flexner series, entitled The Prob-| |

The question of whether

Freshmen Delight
College With Fast,

Entertaining Show



Individual Talent, Dancing,
Errol Flynn Highlight

Production



By Anne Denny, ’43

For Whom the Sirens Scream
combined all the traditional take-
offs, with a fair amount of plot to
present a really amusing and fast-
moving production. Missing from
this year’s leg-show was the usual
artificial pauses for the songs;
added were Errol Flynn and Mr.
Herben.

The spy-plot was at times con-

fusing, chiefly due to the fact that

the members~of the spy ring were
'searcely audible in their first scene.
;But-the thread—of—eoherence was
| sufficient to save The Sirens from
ithe disjointedness of so many for-
‘mer shows. A few outstanding
|comediennes and a bagful of good
tunes with clever lyrics were '46’s
trump cards.

Edith Fincke as the Bryn Mawr
version of Mata Hari broke a long-
standing tradition of poor Fresh-
man torch-singing. She played the
of the siren with amazing
finesse. The Sirens did not go out
of its way to be risque; but when
the opportunities arose it made the
most of them. The Errol Flynn
song, we predict, will be sung well
into the future, and the smoking
room scene quips will long be re-
membered.

The usual satire on the Greek’s,
and on Haverford were exception-
ally well done. Biffy Horax was

a distinguished Haverford fresh-
man, and the jitterbugs, Connie
Chester and “Diana Hamon, stopped
the show. The latter were called
for an encore on the basis of their
dead pan expressions and_ lubri-
‘ostod hips. The small details
h'ch made the scene a_ success,
such .as the take-off on Carrie,

were typical of the thoroughness
with which the show was directed.

The singing of the octet offered
relief from the continually shouted
choruses, which are _ inevitable
when large groups of non-singers
are included. The Yale songs were
sweetly done, and the introduction
to the auction was very effective.

The dancing was well planned,
but not so well executed. The
limited. number of rehearsals is
possibly the answer. The soloists,
on the other hand, were excellent.
Beverly Shy showed remarkable

ability in the power house dance.

rels and five-line poems on inertia to fill up those last fifty inches. |

We have slaved over the last sentence of an article, only to find the

imprecations have been heaped upon our heads.

for us to walk from Taylor to the library without being attacked on
the subject of a misplaced comma.

We have striven for the golden mean.

Elizabeth Watkins Ascends With Rapidity
Through Distinctive Career to Editorship



By Nancy Evarts, 43

Elizabeth Watkins, new editor-
in-chief of the News, is a silent
girl. At almost any time before
February 22 she might have been
found in Taylor, quietly stocking
up the Rock hall bookshop. After
her election, however, she went to
Mrs. Nahm and, remarking that

“a sad thing had happened,” re-
signed all responsibility for the
hungry hordes in Rock.

The first English major to be
editor since 1939, Elizabeth rose
rapidly from the status of cub re-
porter, less than a year ago, to the
editorship. Her remarkable ca-

Her stage presence in the encore
was particularly notable. The
comic dance of Sandra Lieberman
was also extremely well done.
Judy Novick’s caricature part
was not only one of the funniest

features in The Sirens, but con-

tributed to the continuity of the
show. The appearanceof Mr.
Herben in a white sweater with
“46” emblazoned on it, was a sur-

She is still recovering from the

Common Room, February 23.—

ioone Fairchild, speaking on Labor
and the war, pointed out that the |
unfavorable public opinion to-

wards Scie jig justified.
| Taking as fer starting point |

Captain Rickenbacker’s speech to}
the New York legislature, Miss |
Fairchild noted that he condemned |
“labor racketeers” without speci-
fying whom he meant. The un-
'fair inference is that he meant all
ithe leaders. -Actually, strike fig-
|ures for this year are proportion-
| ally the lowest in American his- !
tory, and are lower than the Brit-
ish figures. It is the press which,
by playing up the strikes, has cre-
ated an unfavorable: public opin-
ion.

A forty eight hour week has
been decreed by the War Manpow-









|tial war areas. American efficien-
|cy experts have found that this is,
‘for the most productive number of ,
hours possible.
For the last eight hours in the |
forty eight hour week, time and a
half has been given to Labor. The
leaders think that such wages will
not constitute a serious impetus
to inflation. They are prepared to
| accept wage stabilization, how-
ever, if accompanied by limits on
‘higher salaries and incomes, price
ceilings, especially on farm prod-
ucts, and rationing. Such limits
| will probably be set.
| Miss Fairchild agrees with the
general opinion that no strike is
justifiable at this time. She agrees,
not only because of the interfer-
ence with production which the
country cannot afford, but also be-
cause Labor could not hope to win
anything in face of a hostile pub-
lic opinion.

Khaki Mist and Red Haze Come to Campus

~ Bringing Promise of Hope for the Future



By Nancy Evarts, ’43

Amid the smoke and fog of a
Bryn Mawr afternoon, which was
surprisingly like spring, we dis-
cerned a sort of khaki mist. Upon
examination it turned out to be a
horde of Air Corps Cadets on a
hike. They. (or it) had stopped
in for a ten-minute rest period in
the Bookshop.

The rest period seemed to our in-
experienced eyes to be about half
an hour long. During it the Ca-
dets by no means confined them-
selves to the Bookshop... They
spread in a sea between Taylor
and Merion, deriving much enjoy-
ment from Jonathan Weiss who
slipped about in the mud, clutch-
ing their legs and crying “Hello,
Daddy,” indiscriminately.

Although these representatives
of Our finally
marched away at a brisk trot,
singing She Wears it for Her Ca-
det Who is Far, Far Away, the
military atmosphere continued
throughout the weekend. French
sailors turned up in unexpected
places, such as the Merion show-
case. A haze of red pom-poms and
the Marseillaise appeared at the
swimming. pool.

Neither are we forgotten, it
would seem, by the would-be scien-
tific experts from near-by, who ap-
peared in great numbers at the
Freshman Show. Rumor hath it
that these invasions are not the
last, and even we are inspired by a
certain small Hope.

OPINION





|For Whom the Sirens Scream

Enthusiastically Lauded
By Junior



To the Editor of the College News:

Undoubtedly you will-_write a
review of the Freshman Show—
and say just what I am going to
say—but the Freshman Show was
so. good that whatever is said is
worth repeating.

Every year each class sticks out
its chest and says, “Our Freshman
Show was \the best Freshman
Show.” For the first time people
have been saying™‘This Freshman
Show is the best’ Freshman Show,
even better than ours.”

This show has a minimum of
elaborate costumes and scenery,
but the omissions did not detract
in any way. What was done in
the way of “extras” was extremely
interesting and effective. Particu-
larly deserving praise was the
plot; the dancing was well done,
and in places very amusing; San-

unusually good. The songs we
witty, the tunes catchy. Instead
of being sung in the usual Fresh-
man Show manner-being screamed
to put the words across—all the
choruses as well as the smaller
groups sang beautifully. In many
cases the harmony was_ profes-
sional.

And as for the animal—it speaks
for itself. So here’s to ’46 and
more Freshman Shows like For

On Time and Creation

which fuses past
and present through the function
of our imagination. Thus the soul
is connected with the memory and
anticipation of passing time. The
only resting point is the presence
of God, who is the future towards
which all souls aspire.

The Greeks thought of time ob-
jectively measured as compared to
the Christians subjective theory.

| Time was a cycle like the seasons

and because of this cycle, a soul,
even if it reached perfect happi-
ness, will be thrown back .into the
life cycle. The Christian theory is
that the soul has no past but a fu-
ture which is God. Modern man
can never believe in the cycle idea
even if he falls away .from reli-
gion, therefore he must believe in
a Christian idea-of creation. —

This Christian idea of time has
given rise to a new idea of
‘History is the recordi
thing which will neve
and each time something happens,
something new enters the world.
The modern concept of time rests.
on the Christian idea of time and

This idea of God as a creator
and of time beginning with the

conception of creation. It necessi-







League Enlargement
Is Seen; Tea Planned
To Explain Activities



By Nancy Scribner, °45
The Bryn Mawr League, one of
the oldest organizations on campus,
and_bearing a long-standing tradi-
tion for valuable service to the

community, is entering upon this
year’s campaign to enlarge its ac-
tive membership. To explain the
work of the League and to afford
to interested students, Freshmen
especially, information about all
its branches, a tea is being given
next Tuesday, March 2, at 4:00,
in the Common Room.

Because the work of the League
is distinguished by energetic and
efficient assistance to the under-
manned social services of the Main
Line and Philadelphia, and is not
a campus activity, there has grown
up.among the student body a gen-
eral ignorance and unawareness of
the League’s value. It is hoped
that this tea will stimulate interest,
as the need expressed by the
League is urgent.

The responsibility for social
service was accepted almost simul-
taneously with the foundation of
the College, and the League as-
sumed its present form in the early
twenties with its conversion from
the Christian Association. Through-
out the ensuing years it has ex-
nanded its list of varied services
and, until recently, has had a large
contingent of students working
with it. The Activities Drive is
the only way in which all of the
students contribute, but formerly
many others have felt the impor-
tance of this civil responsibility and
take a sufficient interest in its work
to join in. ba

The work of the League is not
limited to the academic year, but
is a year-round contribution. Dur-
ing the college months the mem-
bers direct their activities towards
Maid’s Bureau, playing with street-
roving children of defense work-
ers, reading aloud to, and enter-
taining the blind, and participating
in the Americanization of the for-
eigners. The summer months find
the underweight children of Phila-
delphia’s. worst sections at the
Bryn Mawr summer camp. .The
League feels that this choice of
activity offered to the students is
large and varied, and that there
must be at least one branch of its
work in which each new member
ean find fun and satisfaction.



tates belief and shows the inde-
pendence of human beings. The
absolute idea of creation does not

-| answer the problem rationally but —~——

just points the way. It keeps the
sense of man’s own mysterious-
ness alive within that creation.

President, and Mrs.
MacIntosh Discuss
Problems in Teaching



Deanery, February 18.—‘Teach-
ing in schools is always new and
vitally alive,” said Mrs. MaclIn-
tosh, head of the Brearly School,
at the vocational conference, where
Mrs. MacIntosh and Miss McBride
spoke on teaching in schools and
colleges.

Mrs. MacIntosh, stressing the
fact that-..teaching in schools does
not mean escape from reality, said
it was an arduous and active pro-
fession requiring many. contacts
and every aspect of the teacher’s
mind and personality.

“A teacher can be the most im-
portant single person in moulding
a child’s entire attitude towards
life,” said Mrs. MacIntosh. To the
teacher belongs the excitement of
producing something in a child, of
interpreting to him the beauty,
the principle, the truth in a sub-
ject.

Miss McBride outlined some dif-
ferences between school and col-
lege teaching. The chief interest
in teaching in schools lies in
watching the growth and develop-
ment in a child rather than in the
subject taught. The situation in

colleges is altered. There is not|

so much change in the student’s
personality, and it is rather the
student’s development toward the
field which occupies his teacher.
In college teaching is done with
the hope that work in the field will
be carried further. Each student
becomes an independent agent
whose relation to his professor is
reciprocal. College teachers and

students also usually do intensive

_yesearch in their fields, and may
have the opportunity to sustain
hypotheses of their own.





The Dreams of Youth

Let us go you and I—But quick.

I am old I am old. I shall wear
the bottoms of the circles under
my eyes like the Red Badge of
Courage.e Never more to darken
this foul littered room. Joy to the
world for at last I am free. Free
to spend my life as is my wont.
Won’t you come out and slide
down my cellar door? iil
never touch another head, another
galley, another piece of copy. I
swear it. I’m off the stuff for life.
These shiny little tryouts. Little
they know, the silly little editors
of 1946 so full of initiative and
purpose. Wait till they plump
their tired bodies on the Merion
smoking room couch at 4 a. m. to
the tune of Manny Moe and Jack
the Pep boys. Pep, now there’s a
forgotten word. Pep is what you
start your first issue with and
what you lose by your second.
Please, God, if you ever see me
evince so much as an ounce of pep
again, strike me dead and make
me copy editor. I just want to
crawl in a corner and be restful.
Why can’t others be restful? Why
are they always probing into other
people’s business to get a nasty
little scoop? . . . That isn’t nice.
Well babies, it’s all yours. I’m off
to Ford’s to get Absolutely Stinko.

I Grow Old I Grow Old

In the beginning was the word
which became a torrent, and above
the darkening flood I saw James
advance across the Boyne, while
only the tryouts remain. When I
was a Freshman life was different,
and I was young, gay, and people
called me Movourneen, the Wild
Irish rose. On the road to Picar-
dy I stopped and saw the Irish
crawi vuvdhthe forests like ghosts,
and the corpses with grass in
their mouths, and I thought I am
losing my race with life. Who

Group from Hampton’s Student Body Sings 'Wintrobe Describes

New Arrangements in Deanery Concert

Vitamin Deficiencies



By Posy Kent, °45
Deanery, February 20. — The
singers who delighted a capacity
audience at the Deanery on Sun-

day were not members of the
Senior Quartet, but from Hamp-
ton’s student body. This group
combined the richness of tone, for
which Hampton’s singers are fa-
mous, with a humorous spirit evi-
dently added by the younger gen-
eration. To the writer, it was ap-
parent that here was a perfect ex-
ample of evolution in folk-song.
New arrangements of some num-
bers, such as the guitar-like re-
frain to Sleep, Kentucky Babe;
the addition of pantomime to Do
You Call That a Brother? and the
inclusion of some songs which are
distinetly not of the spiritual va-
riety, like In My Castle on the
River Nile, all show that this type

lectures in Personnel Administra-
tion on Thursday, February 25,
Mr. R. W. Johnson, director of
personnel administration at the
Leeds and Northrop Manufactur-
ing Company in Philadelphia, will
speak.

Mr. Johnson is a leading person-

the problem of increasing the em-
ployment of women in a_ highly
specialized company that has large
war contracts. He expects to
bring college trained women un-
der the staff of the Leeds and Nor-
throp Company at various levels
of performance for the duration
of the war.

The lecture will be held in the
Common Room.

THEATRE

Harriet, a Failure as War Play
And as Character Study,
Says Oursler





Specially contributed in try-outs by
April Oursler, ’45
Harriet, a new play by Florence
Ryerson and Colin Clements, suc-
ceeds neither as a war play, nor
as a character study. It is carried
into existence solely by the splen-
did acting of the star, Helen
Hayes. ¥

The Philadelphia papers hailed
the play as “the greatest drama to
come out of this war’’—but a war
play must have more than an ap-
plicable message and appropriate
subject matter.~ Harriet does not.
It has none of.the necessary vigor
and appeal. Even with Miss
Hayes’ interpretative powers, the
play fails to tome alive enough to
make it worthy of existence.

The authors seem to have had a
vague intention of relating the
Civil War, a particular crusade
against a particular kind of slav-
ery, to the world conflict of today
against the universal slavery of
conquered and downtrodden peo-
ples. It could have been worked
into a good analogy, but it must
have failed to interest. the play-
wrights sufficiently—they seem to
have forgotten it almost entirely
during the play. Isolated speeches
have been tacked on almost as
after-thoughts, but they are so ob-
viously planted that they merely
irritate the audience. When Mrs.
Stowe is comforting her little boy,
Freddie, after the scare of a “Ken-
tuck” raid on the free Negro dis-
trict near their home, she sudden-
ly turns to those around her and
remarks on the sad condition of all
those enslaved in dirty, cruel fac-
tories, with no Abolitionists to
worry about them. Her speech
ended, the play goes calmly back
to its story of family life. At the
end of the play, Mrs. Stowe climbs
on a hassock to address the towns-
people, describing her visit with
President Lincoln, and her realiza-
tion of the world-shaking signifi-
cance of the Civil War—of the
eternal fight against all slavery in
; this world. With a surge of emo-
|tion she shouts, “And mine eyes
| hove seen the glory—”; a soprano
‘from the townspeople starts the
| Battle Hymn of the Republic, and
ia glow of patriotic fervor and of
|great accomplishment descends on
'the whole cast, as they face ma-



'soda or too much water with veg- | jestically out the window.
| etables, destroy vitamin supply.

All of which is very inspiring,
or could be, if there were a general
continuity of the theme in the ac-
| tion of the play. As it is, it would
have been better with no attempt
at relating it to the present day.
| Miss Hayes, as usual, gives a
| great performance, an amazingly
convincing interpretation for such
|a poorly written part. Moving
| against a background of exagger-
jated, over-acted characters, she
| brings out by her every movement
the youthfulness, patience and
kindliness which characterized
Mrs. Stowe. It was not her énter-
pretation, but the lack of explana-
tion in the play for any of her ac-
tions or reactions, that was re-
sponsible for the play’s failure as
ia character study.

“The rest of the characters are
'an unimaginative and over-typical
lot.. Mrs. Beecher, played by Rob-
,ert Harrison, is a poor imitation
,of Life with Father. Harriet’s
brothers, six of them, all minis-
ters, are a raving, ranting, monoto-
nous lot. There is the inevitable
Southern mammy, and a prudish
ald maid sister. Rhys Williams

Let me explain: I am one of a

devoted to you and your News. It
was about five months ago that
your paper accidentally arrived
instead of The Ladies Home Jour-

are accustomed to send us.

It was—how can we say it—ewi-

much to think about. . . )

Soon after this time they stop-

we have been without your News?

Mais helas! The sixth day of

who were undaunted by a trifle

First of all, is the WAAC really needed?



Emphatically yes! Already the President has authorized the
Corps to expand from 25,000 to 150,000. The Air Forces
and Signal Corps have asked for thousands of WAAC mem-
bers to help with vital duties. Both Ground Forces and
Services of Supply are asking for thousands more. Members
of the WAAC may be assigned to duty with the Army any-
where — some are already in Africa and England.

Can the WAAC really help win the war?



The whole idea of the WAAC is to replace trained soldiers
needed at the front. If American women pitch in now to help
our Army (as women in Britain, Russia and China do), we
can hasten Victory — and peace.

What can my college education contribute?



College training is important equipment for many WAAC

7a > duties too long to list. Cryptography, drafting, meteorology,

laboratory work, Link trainer and glider instructing, for ex-
ample. If you are a senior you may enroll at once and be
placed on inactive duty until the school year ends. See your
WAAC faculty adviser for more details.

But can I live comfortably on WAAC pay?



There are few civilian jobs in which you could earn clear
income, as WAAC enrolled members do, of $50 to $138 a
month — with all equipment from your toothbrush to cloth-
ing, food, quarters, medical and dental care provided. WAAC

~officers earn from $150'to $333.33 month, .

Some questions and answers of interest

to every patriotic college woman

The drilling sounds so strenuous—!

»

Nonsense! The most beautiful women in America today
are the girls in khaki! Some calisthenics and drilling are
vital to general good health, discipline and tuned-up reflexes.
After a few weeks at Fort Des Moines, Daytona Beach or the
new Fort Oglethorpe training center you’ll feel better than
ever in your life.

Maybe I wouldn't like the work?

People are happiest doing what'they do well. Every effort
is made to place you where your service will count most
toward final Victory. You may have some latent talent that
will fill a particular need for work interesting and new to
women — such as repairing the famous secret bombsight,
rigging parachutes, operating the fascinating new electronic
devices — or driving an Army jeep over foreign terrain.

Then I have a chance to Icarn something new?



Yes, indeed. And the list of WAAC duties grows constantly.

- The training and experience you get in the WAAC may

equip you for many stimulating new careers opening up
for women.

What are my chances of promotion?



Excellent. The Corps is expanding rapidly and needs new
officers, both commissioned and noncommissioned. Those
who join now have the best chances. All new officers now

.come up through the ranks. If qualified, you may obtain a

commission in 12 weeks after beginning basic training.

What is the age range and other requirements?

Very simple. You may join if you are a U. S. citizen, aged
21 to 44, inclusive, at least 5 fect tall and not over 6 feet,
in good health — regardless of race, color or creed. But the
Army needs.you now—don’t delay. Total War won’t wait!



Linguists needed. If you speak and write Spanish,
Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, German
or Italian, see your local Army recruiting office now! You
are needed for interpreting, cryptography, communications.
