Student: Jobs
By Isabel Martin, ’42
Getting through college is a big
financial problem for a great many
students. In the large universities
and in most men’s colleges, stu-
dent employment bureaus have
been established to make it possible
for the poorer student to pay his
necessary college expenses. The
directors of universities welcome
these ageneies, since they cut down
the scholarship demand and enable
more-students to attend college.
The amount paid out by these
agencies and the amount earned by
students through other campus jébs
astounds the undergraduate_/who
flies through college with no great
financial care. For instance, in
Williams College last year 400 stu-
dents earned 68 thousand dollars
in 676 jobs on campus, represent-
ing 99 different ways of earning
money. Undergraduates there, as
well as at other colleges, also work
over the summer to’help make ends
meet in the winter. In the summer

Varsity Basketball :
Overcomes Beaver
Ligon and Squibb Skyrocket
Score as Opponents Fail -
To Block Passes
Monday, March 11.—The Var-
sity pulled out of a preliminary
slump to win against Beaver Col-
lege, 47-25. Beaver’s game was
marked by an incredible number of
fouls, by frequent shooting and by
less accurate passing than Bryn
Mawr has: heretofore encountered.
The Varsity found it hard at first
to adjust to their tactics and were
not sure of.each other’s positions.
However, Bryn Mawr led 2-16 at
the start of the second half and
with, sharp shooting both Ligon,
40, and Squibb, ’41, sent the score
skyward. Our passes were good
and: the forwards noticeably quick
to tackle back on their guards.
With the Rosemont College game
looming ahead as the last stepping
stone to an undefeated season,. it
is a comfortable feeling to know
that although the Beaver game
was lacking in vitality, it provides
firm footing for_the last leap to

Frank Discusses Greek
And Christian Thought

skeptical of visibl¥ phe-
nomena and became primarily in-
terested in the human soul. Its
firmness, calmness,’ and serenity
became their ultimate aim. The
growth of mystic cults met the
general demand for salvation and
agnosticism attempted to reconcile
mysticism with the rationalism of
early Greek philosophy. Mr.
Frank pointed out that- men who
had come within the Greek or Ro-
man orbit were thus prepared for
the Christian faith. - Augustine
himself passed through all the
phases of Greek philosophy before
finding peace in the Christian doc-
trine.
For Augustine, the principle of
reason sufficed so long as_ this
world existed as the sole object
of understanding. When-~ man
could no longer find the ultimate
aim of life in this world, then rea-
son, “thrown back on its own re-
sources,” led, of necessity, to a
skeptical despair ‘of attaining any
solution. ;
To the early philosophers, God
the Christian faith. “The human
mind, when transgressing the lim-
its of reality, needs a practical
faith upon which to base its pre-
suppositions.” To Augustine faith
prevails over reason, but reason is:
indispensable to faith.
Although Augustine accepted the
truth of Greek rational thinking,
he infused into it a new conscious-
ness of the form of reality. Also
the idea of creation out of noth-
ingness as opposed to Plato’s idea
of creation out of chaos necessi-
tates a new concept of the soul.
Augustine conceived the soul or
ego as a Christian one elucidated
by reason. Since the individual
soul springs from the creative will
.of God, its essence remains an in-
comprehensible mystery to Augus-
tine. :
The Augustinian conception of
personality is correlative to the
conception of moral will. The evil
in man does not result from his ~
body but from his will: he is free
to make his own decisions. Free-
dom of will is a serious danger to
man, but it is at the same time the
presupposition of his personality.

«ee CAMEL
AND EXTRA SMOKING—I PICK
THE SLOW-BURNING CIGARETTE aa
F you want to know how it feels to go
80 miles an hour on a racing bob-sled,
“Bucky” Wells of Keene Valley, N. Y.
can tell you. He’s done it plenty of times.
He likes those. speed-thrills on a racing
bob. But when it comes to cigarettes,
“Bucky” Wells is on the slow side...the
slow-burning side. That means Camels!
“I’ve smoked Camels for years, and I
know they burn slower,” “Bucky” says.
“There’s cool comfort in a Camel. Mild-
ness — more flavor. And — slow burning
means extra smoking. Yes, penny for
penny, Camels are the best cigarette buy.
‘I’d walk a mile for a Camel!’”
Why would anybody feel that way
about his cigarette? Try a Camel and see.
Camels are a matchless blend of costlier
tobaccos...slow-burning. They give more
pleasure per puff, more puffs per pack.

In recent laboratory tests, CAMELS
burned 25% slower than the average of %
the 15 other of the largest-selling brands
tested—slower than any of them. That
means, on the average, a smoking plus
“ONE-TWO-BOB! ONE-TWO-BOB!” And, as the crew bobs,
“Bucky” picks up speed ...60—70—80 miles an hour, driving high on
the glassy wall of ice as he swings the quarter-ton steel sled around
the curve. But in the field of cigarettes, this daring speedster gives
the laurels to the quality of ‘slow burning that he finds in Camels.
You can tell by their mild, mellow taste that Camels burn cooler,
slower~and scientists have confirmed this. (See panel, right.)
