Priority Ratings Held by
Chemistry Professors

Assure Goods



The establishment of war priori-
ties and the rise in prices has, so

far, affected the college compara-
tively slightly according to Mr.
Foley, superintendent of grounds.
Materials which are essential for

the maintenance of buildings,
power and heating apparatus are
available if a note is included with
the order stating that the material
is necessary and should receive a
priority rating. Orders which can-
not receive priority rating must
wait indefinitely.

Mrs. Jeanes, the college purchas-
ing agent, bought all the linen,
paper towels, and cleaning powders
for the present college year last
spring. It is now impossible to
buy any goods of galvanized or
basic metals for general use. The

vitally affected 4 he college
through the delay in the laying of
the cable near Denbigh. Although
it is hoped a priority rating can
be obtained for the materials to be

.used in the cable, they cannot be

purchased immediately.

The department which _ will
suffer least’ from the restrictions
on goods will be the Chemistry De-
partment, where all the professors
have priority ratings. The gov-
ernment requires that all records
of, and bills for, goods with such
a rating be keptfor two years,
separate from all other records and
open to inspection at any time.

The bills yghich have come in at!

present show an average increase
of about five per cent in the cost
of college supplies, but the prices
of some cheaper materials have
risen as much as fifty per cenit.
Since all these supplies have been

Burning Midnight Oil

Overtaxes Power Line;



Denbigh Lawn Seems Geared for Defens€

By Mary Barbara Kauffman, 743

No, they haven’t discovered a
gold mine running across Denbigh
lawn. Not yet, at least. And, no,
the vicious-looking holes are not
heffalump traps, and Piglet gradu-
ated last year, anyway. The whole
upheaval is merely another evi-
dence of Bryn Mawr’s firm resolve
to follow the modern trend toward
practicality.

They are preparing for the next
emergency. The electric cable run-
ning under the lawn from the
power house and feeding over half
of the buildings on campus has
rebelled. Or, rather, it has died of
old age. It was laid in 1902 and
would be 40 years old next August,
but, unfortunately, it was fated
never to see that day.
burned out.» And it was so. well
buried that no one could get at it
within any reasonable length of
time. en .

So they have set up a temporary
cable—the thing which the poles
on Denbigh lawn are now support-
ing—while they dig down to re-

‘move the old one. But that is only

the beginning. Defense has made
additional complications. The whole
intricate system of priorities is in-
volved. Bryn Mawr has been
cheerfully told that it may not
have a new copper cable for 17
months. In _ the. meantime, the

|be able to have it checked at will:

‘tical, utilitarian reason that Den-

temporary affair will become one
of our traditions.

The Business Office has frantic-
ally investigated all-the complica-
tions of priorities and finds that
perhaps we could have a new cable
a few months sooner under the
priority heading of Repairs for the
Property and Equipment of Schools
and Colleges. But whatever we do,
we seem to be totally unable to con-
vince the government that enlight-
ening the minds of young ladies is
a more important form of defense
than copper cables.

As a result, Bryn Mawr has
sworn “never again.” From now
on the new cable—when it comes—

a manhole is being built, a form of

the cable will run—visible and
more or less tangible. And so the

Duranty to Discuss
Soviets’ Next Moves



Former Foreign Correspondent
To Launch Lecture Series

On News Abroad



Walter Duranty, who is at pres-
ent Special Correspondent of the
North American Newspaper Alli-
ance, is scheduled to speak in
Goodhart on November 4 on ‘What
Will Russia Do?”

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for
Foreign Correspondents, Mr. Du-
ranty was for several years Mos-

cow Correspondent for the New
York Times. He ‘is: best known
as an author for “I—Write as -I

Please,” which preceded his two
novels, “One Life, One Kopek” and
“The Gold, Train.”

Walter Duranty was instrumen-
tal in bringing about the recoeni-
tion of the Soviet Union by the
United States in 1933. He brought
Maxim Litvinov, first Soviet envoy
to Washington, and took our first
ambassador to Moscow. Duranty
is spoken of by Alexander Wool-
cott as the one man “who could
make a purposeless hour at some

sidewalk cafe so memorably de-
lightful.”
The lecture is the first of a

series of three sponsored by the
House Committee of the Bryn
Mawr Hospital in an effort to raise
urgently needed funds for expan-
sion of the hospital. Virginia
Cowles and Vineent Sheean are
the next speakers in the series.

Maids Now Offered
Popular New Classes





Several innovations in the Maid’s
Classes became apparent at the tea
last week, where plans for the year
were discussed. Two new courses,
Hygiene and Sewing, are being of-
fered because of popular demand.

Dr. Leary will give two lectures
in_Hygiene,_and_thereis—a—possi-
bility that a Red Cross rurse will,
teach Home Nursing. Sewing will
be under the supervision of Mrs.
Fales.

The knitting clinic is another
novelty. The names of. student
helpers who will pick up stitches
in an emergency are posted in every
hall. —

Graduate students are taking a
larger part in the classes than ever
before. Adelaide Cromwell, Smith,
’40, who will lead Negro History
discussions, has written her mas-
ter’s thesis on that subject.

Typing, Piano Lessons, Poetry,
Diction, French, German, Current
Events, Gym, Bookkeeping, will all
be given again. Classes will meet
once a week in Taylor.

Both Pembrokes Kill Rhoads “Timelessly”;
: Varsity, Cripples, Incompetents Compete



By Alice Crowder, ’42

“Rast is East and West is West
and we the twain shall beat,”
a Rhoads cheering section, twenty
strong, roared out as Rhoads Sen-
iors, brandishing -hockey sticks,
dashed down the hockey field in
pursuit of Pembroke Seniors in an
unscheduled game Saturday after-
noon. Had the timekeeper not lost
track of time, Rhoads might have

produced at least a tie, but as it |

was, the game ended 2-1 in favor
of Pembroke.

Lack of preparation had——not
brought the’defeat. Rhoads stay-
ed up partially into Friday night
making up cheers to foil the foe,
composing a victory song, and prac-
ticing by the light of incarfdescent
lamps. with. ash trays for -balls-
But superior ésprit des corps could
not compensate for the three Var-
sity half backs which Pembroke
brought to the game. “It para-
lyzes me just to look at her,” a
Rhoads wing said, turnirig her back
on the opposing half back.’

A real pass from Effie Woolsey
to Barbara Cooley made the Rhoads
goal possible. Pembroke, on the
other hand, specialized in spec-
tacular one man, field length

bounds. Margy Perkins, Varsity
left half back, playing right inner,
saved the day, however, by twice
in the second half pushing the ball
through the extensive goalie ap-
paratus. The tendency of the
game, particularly in the first half,
to be played in the territory of
Rhoads defence was perhaps ex-
plained by the fact that Chris
Waples, Varsity center half, guard-
ed the Pembroke defence as center
half, left half; and left full back.
Considering —that_three ‘of the
Rhoads players had never: played
before, that few except Varsity
players had played hockey since
school days, and that no one ex-
cept these same players had ex-
ercised-since sophomore. year,..the
general neatness of the game was
remarkable.

Morale was as high as the num-
ber of casualties while ivory tow-
ered intellectual and week-ending
socialite staggered down the field.
In moments of stress it was re-
newed by the yells of the Rhoads
cheering section, which, with Ruth
Fiesel as leader, was the main ac-
tor of the little drama. “Yay, ray;

THE COLLEGE NEWS | “They’re not lazy. They aren’t cowards. I’ve handled CCC
(Founded in 1914) lads and these chonchies work far harder. It was difficult at first
for me to understand this no-orders business, but it has worked
out damn well.” Thus spoke Gilbert Klos, supervisor from the
Department of the Interior of Civilian Public Service Camp
Number 3,-the country’s first camp for conscientious objectors.
The camp, in Maryland’s Patapsco State Park, west of Baltimore,
has had a long history, as work camps go. It was built in 1933
for the first CCC boys; it was used by the N. Y. A., and last May
it was opened under the Friends’ Service Committee to. provide
C. O.s with an opportunity to serve the country without being
taught to kill.

The camp isn’t a very pretty place. There are seven low dark

In one, of the'meditation periods one man suggested that the camp
should be run_to prove that democracy can be applied in daily
life. Therefore, each boy chooses what job he wishes to do. Al-

PENN POINTS

By Jessie Stone, ’44



A



Philadelphia, shipbuilder and
arsenal of 1917, was jarred out of
a long grey slump by a brand new
war. New lights are burning
through many a night shift as
Philadelphia’s defense industry
stretches on toward optimum out-
put. New plants are springing up
as new ships are launched by Phila-
delphia hands.

And the city, intensely occu-
pied for the past decade with the
post-boom problem of industrial
contraction, has been pelted with
war orders. Between June and
December, 1940, defense orders
totaling $1,146,009,000 (11.38% of
the National Defense Commission
orders given out in that period)
were placed in the Philadelphia in-
dustrial area. Contracts here are
now well over two billion dollars.

Philadelphia industry switched
abruptly, but enthusiastically, into
high-gear. Expansion became the
order of the day. By June, 1941,
Philadelphia stood first among
American cities in the dollar vol-
ume of major defense contracts.
As of June 5, 1941, 40% of the
city’s machine tools were idle. But
contracts keep pouring in; vol-
uminous statistics keep pouring
out of the Chamber of Commerce

Philadelphia has become a whirling

“Arsenal of Democracy.”

Team Defeats Penn! |



Murnaghan ‘Controls Ball for |

50 Yards to Score Final
Spectacular Goal

By Jacqueline Ballard, ’43

Bryn Mawr, October 25.— The
Owls stormed to their second over-
whelming victory of the season on
Saturday morning, beating the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania hockey
team by a score of 5-1.

The last goal, made by Pat
Murnaghan, was one unnecessary |
for victory, but the. most spec-
tacular of the game. It was one of
those football plays a la motion



of play a foreward tears down the
field for -fifty yards to the goal}
posts. Pat did just that, rushing
past. the opposition with clever
stickwork, and controlling the. ball
all the way from the fifty yard line.

The Varsity’s captain, Chris
Waples, scored twice, as did Pat
Murnaghan, while Lydia Gifford
made the first goal. It was an
interesting game with the actiial
play hot as one-sided as the score
indicates. Teamwork figured prom-
inently, and if it did lapse at times,
one girl played effectively enough
to prevent the opponents from scor-
ing at least twice. It was Helen
Resor, always a steady back, who
displayed her genuine brilliance on
these occasions.

The Penn team has been used
to playing on a rough field, and
therefore faced the Owls with a
different method of attack than
the other teafns Bryn Mawr has
played. Miss Wickham made the |



first and only goal for Penn which | whole children’s room of beautiful | -

steadily, in size and in fame. Its

purpose has remained the same—| his boy was getting advantages

to give the underprivileged a
chance to know and to recognize
beauty.

Mr, Fleisher, an art connoisseur
and collector, told us that he was
inspired to organize his school one
winter evening when he overheard
the interested conversation of two
rather dirty little boys who were
commenting on a painting exhib-
ited ina store window. All instruc-
tion at the now famous club is
free; materials can be bought at
cost; and anyone is’ welcome.
Philadelphia debutantes, drawn to
the Club because of its unusual at-
mosphere, may_ be seated’ next to
industrial workers who hurry to
their classes straight from the fac-
tory. There are no grades, no
promotions, and no failures. Fre-
quently a gifted student wins a
special scholarship, but his less
brilliant classmates are regarded
as equally successful if their
powers of observation and appre-
ciation are heightened.

All the rooms in the Club, ex-
cept those set aside for classes, are
filled with paintings, sculpture,
and artifacts of all kinds, collected
on Mr. Fleisher’s extensive travels.
Outstanding among these is a

{other father, he was thankful that

that he had missed.

But perhaps the most striking
item in the Club is the old adjoin-
ing church that Mr. Fleisher has |
remodeled. The intervefiing wall
has been broken, and one can now
enter directly from one of the
downstairs rooms. Incense burns
and a hidden organ plays selec-
tions from Handel’s Messiah.

The chapel is filled with count-
less medieval ikons, illuminated by
candles, and there are lovely sha-
dowy murals on the walls. Behind
the altar are alcoves with still
more ecclesiastical treasures. It
is here that the visitor gets the
full realization of the spirit with
which Samuel Feisher has endowed
his Graphic Sketch Club. In
founding his school, he has at-
tended to the aesthetic needs as
well as to the economic distress of
the less fortunate.

Rhinies and F palin
Crowd Square Dance



Gymnasium, Friday, October 24.
—A record erowd 6f Rhinies and
Bryn Mawrters bobbed up and
down to the music of Chris Sander-
son’s country band, at the Bryn
Mawr-Haverford square. dance.
Unlike last year’s gallant crew,

‘the Haverford element arrived with

grace and calm instead of. the vio-
lent demonstrations of former
years. But they warmed up soon.
Except for a few stragglers who
had to be guided into each suc-

—tessive position, the newcomers of

both colleges pitched in well and
noisily. .

Conversation wasn’t the strong
point of ‘the evening, but sti¢ky
cider and quick changes of part-
ners kept the party going. The
most startling results of this ener-
getic, if a little unenthusiastic,
dancing was the percentage popula-
tion of the participants seen at the
Greek’s afterwards. The upper-
classmen, who had so carefully seen
that everyone was happy, rubbed
their hands with satisfaction as
permissions were requested on all
sides.

The evening’s department of mis-
understanding was an incident in-
volving two Haverford boys who
broke into the gym breathlessly and
inquired where that wonderful
boogey-woogey music was coming
from. Strong denials of the ac-
cusation were followed by the dis-
covery that the most wonderful
boogey-woogey was coming/ from
downstairs. But there were few
such sidetracks and the /evening
was a financial success. Most aw-

Workers are throwing out their
white collars and climbing into
more lucrative: overalls and denim
workshirts. Old plants, dilapi-
dated and semii-idle, are still being
revitalized, and many -have been
roaring with rush orders for over
a year. The Navy Yard, the Sun
Shipbuilding Company, Baldwin
Lotomotive Works (housed in new
and expanded plant facilities),
Brill’s,, Budd's, Diston, R. GC. A.,
Midvale Steel, and scores of others
are almost accustomed to the 24
hour, 3-shift plans.

The slack era has gone. And, to
the accompaniment of mummers
and brass bands, Kensington’s
Cramp’s Shipyard, idle for thirteen
years, was reopened last month
and. set-up with six massive gov-
ernment orders.

When the rush hit home, Phila-
delphia had 11,000,000 square feet
of idle plant floor./ Since June,
1940, the slack has been taken up
at the rate of 1,000,000 square feet
every sixty days» Relief rolls are
decreasing. The transit system is
faced with the urgent need for
expansion and a comfortable in-
crease in its receipts. ° Telephone
calls are soaring, and shopping
fever has hit Philadelphia (this
last mainly in the lower and mid-
dle income groups).

Over two hundred new firms have
located in Philadelphia. Manufac-
turing plants have shown gq step-
up of 85% in volume of out-put.
Consumer goods volume is 18%
greater than it was one year ago.
Employment has crept up 31%,
payrolls 60%, cost of living 4.4%,
says the Chamber of Commerce.

Clothing and metal industries



hold the greatest volume of con-
tracts. Subcontracts are increas-
| ing due to the help of the Defense
‘Contract Service, which has a mass
| of information at the disposal of
prime contractors who are ‘seeking
concerns equipped to share defense
work. / The service receives 176
enquiries per day.

But the old Philadelphia still
stands at the bottom of the statis-
tics. Indeed, new housing prob-

lems’ are created, more skilled
workers are needed; the Schuyl'ill
odor has permeated the defense
machinery, and the city govern-
{ment is being asked to co-operate
with the Federal Government in
making Philadelphia safe for Na-
itional Defense and its citizens.
, This is very hard on the city gov-
ernment. And Philadelphia, is
almost too busy to notice that local
! elections are here.
