Berry fliccosoes Lack
Of Vitamins i in South

Dalton, April 25. Mr. L. J. Ber-
ry returned to the campus to
speak on “Human Nutritional
-Deficiencies.” Mr. Berry, who is
now doing research in the nutri-
tional clinic of the Hillman Hos-
pitla at Alabama, confined his re-
marks to the vitamin deficiency as
it exists in the South. “The peo-
ple who are victims of vitamin de-
ficiencies,’” Mr. Berry explained,
“are victims of a disease over
which neither they nor the south
has. any control, for it is a nation-
al problem.”

The most common causes of vit-
amin deficiency are “not eating
proper food in proper quantities,
glandular upset and food idiosyn-
cracies like the ‘Tea and Toast
League’ of Chicago who exclude

_«"*“everything else from their diet.”

In the South, however, the most
obvious reasons for vitamin defic-
iency is the unvaried diet consist-
ing of corn meal, pork and sugar.

Using slides to illustrate the
startling work that has been ac-
complished by the application of
vitamins, Mr .Berry discussed the
use of thymin, nicotinic acid and
riboflavin by the clinic. The treat-
ment in the Hallman Hospital for
those who have vitamin deficien-
cies is to restore the lacking vita-
mins and then to rehabilitate the
patients.

Conceptions of Art
_ Compared by Yahkub

Continued from Page |

ized by the philosophical belief
that beauty is not an object of
knowledge, but a hypersensitive
intuition of reality and identity.
Conceiving the universal presence
of reality as the immanence of the
absolute, Indians believe that the
absolute manifests itself in things
great and small. Any theme may
be the subject of art, and beauty
becomes reality as experienced by
the artist, and truth is reality ex-
perienced by the philosopher.

Perhaps the main technical dif-
ference between Indian art and
that of the western nations lies in
the artist’s approach to his object
and consequently the form in
which it is recreated. In the art
of the occident, a marked absence
of circumscribing lines is appar-
ent, the demarcation being felt
rather than seen. For us the play
of surface and the blending of po-
sition is paramount, while in ori-
ental art, the form is expressed in
pure line. Examples of all stages
of Indian art may be found in the
rock-art temples of Ajanta, Mr.
Yahkub said.

.INo..less..great..than.Indian art is|-.

Indian love literature. The beauty
of Indian literature, independent
of the sympathy derived from such
qualities as tone and assonance,
is valued for its ethical rather
than for its aesthetic qualities, he
said. It embodies. impassioned
visions correlated with thought
and devoid of sentimentality. In-
dian music contains no melody, be-
ing but a variation of notes. It

is, like oriental religion, essen-
tially impersonal, representing
universal emotions. Indian sculp-

ture, which is essentially dynamic,
and possesses a fluidity of motion
in which there is no halt or accent,
reached the height of its develop-
ment between the fourth and the
eighth centuries. — :

Petts Will Produce

Schumann’s ‘Rodrigo

5



The annual dance play, to be
held this year on May 11 and 12,
will be presented in Wyndham
Garden. The play, Rodrigo, is an
original. work by Mr. Hans Schu-
mann, pianist and accompanist to
Miss Petts’ dancing classes. |

Rodrigo is the last in a series of
four productions written by Mr.
Schumann specially for Bryn
Mawr. There is, according to
plan, one play for each year spent
in college, and every student has
an opportunity of viewing each
fantasy of the entire group only
once.

The series is arranged in a
gradation of increasing complex-
ity. The first, Sleeping Beauty, is
distinguished for its simplicity,
both in the quality and color of
its music and in the skill neces-
sary to its dancers. Only a small
number of performers participate
in this cast.

Cinderella, the second of the
foury gains in difficulty of per-
formance as well as in musical
construction and technique, while
the number of characters is mark-
edly increased.

A comparable expansion of
complexity is seen in The Gold-
spinners, and the greatest intri-
cacy is achieved in this year’s pro-
duction, Rodrigo.

All of the works have, as a bas-
is for their stories, the authentic
versions of well-known fairy tales
and fantasies. A Chinese legend
forms the core of Rodrigo, but
much of the plot motivation and
the final moral has been re-adapt-
ed from the Oriental perspective
to a form more acceptable to wes-
tern audiences.

A preview performance of the
music from Rodrigo will be ren-
dered by Mr. Schumann on May 7.



Owls Will Open Baseball Season on Friday

According to Gov’t Orders to Lift Morale



~ By Carol Ballard °45

Somehow, get nine men togeth.
er and in these days it will easily
pass for a baseball team even if
you have to snatch the popcorn
vendor out of the concessionaire’s
office. That was done once but
only for batting practice, we has-
ten to add. This year the vendor
might véry easily find himself on
the team.

Washington’s decree is that
baseball will help civilian morale,
so not even the rain and sleet and
snow of spring training must pre-
vent the national pastime from
going on. But we might question
whose morale really needs to be
boosted . and doubtless ‘almost
everyone would vote for the base-
ball players and the managers
themselves.

So the whole thing continues in
a vicious circle and .only gets
worse and worse. ‘Soon the pop-
corn vendors can’t ibe called on
since every day they are getting
nearer the draft age. From day
to day no one can tell whether a
manager will be able to get a team
together for the next game. So
many new players come up from
the sandlots, the coaches can’t tell
to whom they are giving away
their closely guarded signals.

Even Bryn Mawr has its trou-
