Webster Relates
Staging Problems,

Acting Experience



Battle Scenes, Costumes,
Minor Roles Present

Difficulties

Goodhart, March 20.—The con-
veyance of the warm, human qual-
ity of Shakespeare’s plays is the
task of the producer, stated Miss
Margaret Webster in her lecture,
Shakespeare: ‘Alarums and Ex-
cursions. In a personal approach
to Shakespeare, Miss Webster re-
lated her experience as an actress
and then the various problems
which she has faced as a producer
of his plays.

Miss Webster’s theatrical back-
ground brought her in contact
with Shakespeare’s plays when
she was a small child. Later, the
experience gained acting in a
“pastoral tour” of England and
before unfashionable but discrimi-
nating audiences at the Old Vic
showed the full theater values of
Shakespeare. Her first directing
assignment, that of handling 800
women of Kent in the crowd
scenes of .Henry VIII, was an aid,
she said, in the later directing of
Richard II with Maurice Evans.
One of the difficulties of produc-
tion of this play arises’from the
lack of individuality in the minor
characters, which must be devel-
oped by the director. In Henry IV
the problem is rather to contrast
the three strong main characters.
The insoluble problem of Shakes-

peare’s battle scenes comes out in

Problems of Future
U. S.-Soviet Relations





“America and the Soviet Union
in the Post-War World” is the topic
to be discussed by Miss Harriet
Moore, Bryn Mawr, ’32, at the third
war assembly, Wednesday, April
i, ab 12780,

Miss Moore began her study of
Russia soon after her graduation,
living in Russia and learning to
speak the language fluently. Dur-
ing her stay, she also gained prac-
tical knowledge about the internal
affairs of the country. She was in
Russia in 1934 at the time of the
assassination of Kirov. After her
return to this country, Miss Moore
worked for many years with the
American Russian Institute. She
was the executive secretary of this
group and editor of the Ameri-
can Review on the Soviet Union.
She has recently joined the Insti-
tute of Pacific ,Relations, which
deals with the whole question of
Far Eastern affairs, including In-
dia, China, and the Philippines.

War with the
American Forces in North Africa, |
in Goodhart Hall, Tuesday, April
13, at 8:30 p.m. This lecture, one
of her first since her return to this
country in February, will be based
entirely on her experiences, and
accompanied by her own movies of
the North African front.

_ As the first woman ever allowed
to fly in the lead plane of a bomber
squadron during an attack, Miss
Bourke-White has been able to
obtain..some unusual pictures of
the fighting over the Libyan des-
ert. She left the United States
for England in the summer of
1942 to take over her duties with |
the AEF. On her way to North
Africa, a few months later, her
boat was torpedoed, and she was
forced to abandon ship, loging
everything except her camera, her
cold cream, and enough film to
take complete pictures of the sink-
ing.

Miss Bourke-White is a leader
in the comparatively new field of
photography, having travelled all
over the United States to produce
two documentary social surveys in
collaboration with Erskine Cald-
well. While working as staff pho-

By Barbara Kauffman, °43

The fluent French and excellent

| staging of the French Club’s pro-

“Les Jeu
et du Hasard” offset

the usual difficulties confronting a
play given in a foreign language.
The diction was authentic and the
meaning was conveyed “more by
intonation than by acting.

Although the emotional level, in
the main, rested At a low point,
verging occasionally towards mo-
notony, the long one-scene acts
were livened by a continual re-
grouping of characters. An eight-
eenth century charm was main-
tained throughout.

Emily Tuck made a charming
Silvia, presenting the varied emo-
tions of a spirited girl who enters
an unconventional situation. Yvette
Laneres as Dorante was an under-
standing presentation of the cour-
teous pseudo-valet who reluctantly
falls in love with his disguised
betrothed. Both hero and heroine
were distinguished by their per-
fect command of the language and
comprehension of their roles.

Mary Virginia More provided
individuality and humor in her de-
piction of a valet substituting for
his master. Her comic acting car-
ried conviction and was performed
with great finesse. Francoise Ple-
ven and Hanna Kaufmann played
their parts with enjoyment and
competence. Florence Senger’s
rendition of Mario injected spirit
into a part which might otherwise
have remained inconspicuous. She
did not turn comedy into farce,
and her acting was always kept
within well-judged limits.

Although there was a sense of
nervous tension at the start, it was
quickly overcome. Unfortunately,
some lines were lost when the too
rapid delivery became inaudible.

tion with unusual ability, which

French Sailors Invade Campus, Inn, Greek’s;

Find Jitterbugs, Sun

day Studying Strange



By Ann Yn 45

The pseudo-calm that cloaks the
Bryn Mawr spring fever and exam
frenzy was disturbed the other af-
ternoon by the sound of “Tout va
tres bien, Madame la Marquise”
sung in the distance. Suddenly
through Pem Arch came some 20
French sailors, running and skip-
ping towards Taylor, accompanied
by some grad. students and mem-
bers of the French House. A few
bespectacled, pig - tailed heads
emerged from smoking room win-
dows to see the unique sight of
“les marins” from the French bat-
tleship “Montcalm” picturesquely
posed on senior steps, having their
picture taken.

Ever since the ‘Montcalm”
docked in Philadelphia and its crew
met some of Wyndham’s residents,
French sailors have become a com-
mon sight at Bryn Mawr. Stu-
dents are getting used to walking
into the Inn and hearing a masct-|
line voice ask the bewildered wait-
ress for “un verre d’eau, s’il vous
plait.” The “Greek’s” has. wit~
nessed their amazement at Ameri-
can “zwing,’” and at jitterbugging
which they love to watch but can-
not do.

In spite of the fact that “OK”
is virtually the limit of their Eng-
lish, the Frenchmen pop out occa-
sionally with an English sentence
like “It gives me pleasure of seeing

you” or “you are varrry beautiful.”
They apparently learn the funda-
mentals of our own and every other
language from Government-issued
manuals containing certain coined
phrases.

When the sailors come to visit
the girls in Wyndham, they spend
most of their time playing French
records and walking around cam-
pus. The cloisters fascinated them,
because they thought that people
were buried under the plaques. The
library awed them and the idea of
students studying on Sunday
brought a burst of horrified groans.

They love America and are very
interested in everything. One sail-
or is going to Chicago just because
rhe-has heard so much about it,
and he expects to be met at the
station by cowboys, Indians and
gangsters. They often comment
on the kindness of the Americans
towards them and are very appre-
ciative—but, France is still first in
their affections.

Hall Discussions





Hamilton Conference
Outlines Organization

For Post-War World

Hamilton College, March 18-20.
Plans for a new world. organiza-

tion based on the Atlantic Charter
climaxed the meeting of the model
United Nations Conference at
Hamilton College. Twenty-three
Eastern colleges took part and rat-
ified the report calling for a perm-
anent international legislature
with a police force at its disposal,
international development of de-
pendent areas, economic collabora-
tion and disarmament.

The commission on political or-
; ganization outlined a program in
which the emphasis fell on demo-
cratic procedures, provision for
| Peaceful change, and the posses-
i sion of force to effect international
decisions. Representation in the
legislative body calculated on the
basis of national existence, popu-
‘lation, literacy, and an industrial
index was a novel feature, as was
| a modified form of the cabinet:sys-
tem for choosing the executive
council.

A permanent police force under
a military committee with power
to enforce the decisions of a World
Court comprised the main plans of
the commission on the enforce-
ment of peace. This police force is
apportioned on the same basis as
the representation in the legisla-
ture, and operates on a world-wide
basis.

The commission on world eco-
nomic integration provided for a
permanent world economic plan-
ning commission. It further re-
solved that nationally determined
import and export quotas be abol-
ished. An_ International Bank
functions as a developmental out-
growth of the Band of Interna-
tional Settlement.

The fourth commission, human
rights and their international
protection, failed to get its resolu-
tions ratified at the plenary meet-
ing. Russia and -several other
powers felt that its provisions took
the management of purely inter-
nal affairs out of the hands of the
national governments. Lack of
time prevented the arrival at a

compromise solution.

Alwyne Displays Skill

In Pianoforte Recital











Goodhart, March 23.— Mr. Al-
wyne’s pianoforte recital on Tues-
day evening combined emotional
depth with technical power. He
showed himself equally capable of
meeting the exacting requirements
of Liszt’s Weinen, Klagen, varia-
tions on themes by Bach, and of
rendering a Brahm’s Cradle Song
with the utmost simplicity of ex-
pression. -

In the first half of the program,
Busoni’s arrangement of the Bach
Chaconne was particularly strik-
ing, the idiom of the violin being
the most convincingly adapted to
that of the piano. The Paganini-
Liszt Caprice, La Chasse, showed
an appropriate lightness of touch.

Vetoed by Undergraduate Vote



Follow
Petitions Expressing
‘Disapproval



Following a week of campus dis-
cussion the new wardening sys-
tem has been opposed by the stu-
dents by a vote of 268 to 112. The

Administration’s plan, presented

at a mass meeting on March 15 by
Frances Matthai, discussed
with the wardens at hall meetings.

Students were asked to vote for or
against an eight-weeks trial pe-
riod.

After the mass meeting two pe-
titions were circulated in the
halls. Signed by almost every stu-
dent to whom they were presented,
these statements expressed the
general campus disapproval of the
whole idea. In its place it was
suggested that some system of stu-
dent wardening could and should
be attempted.

Conferring with the Adminis-
tration, the officers of Self-Govern-
ment and the Undergraduate As-
sociation agreed that the students
should be asked to vote to signify
that they would be willing to coop-
erate with the new system for a
trial period after Spring vacation.
During this period such changes
as seemed necessary were to be
made. At the end of this school
year students were to vote again
on whether to continue the Taylor
system or try still another. This
formed the basis of the hall meet-
ing discussions preceding the vot-
ing.

Fellowships Awarded
To Rush and Tibbets

Goodhart, March 23.—The Fan-
ny Bullock Workman Fellowships
were awarded to Margaret Tib-
bets and Margaret Rush at the
graduate assembly. The speaker,
Professor J. M. Cowan, Director
of the Intensive Language Pro- -
gram, discussed Recent Linguistic
Research and Implementation in
the Unusual Languages. He em-
phasized that the United States
was as poorly prepared as possible
for actual warfare and such func-
tions as propaganda.

Margaret Tibbets, a fellow in
History, took her A.B. at Wheaton
in 1941 and her M.A. at Bryn
Mawr in 1942. Her thesis is en-
titled Political Parties under Oliv-
er Cromwell. Margaret Rush, fel-
low in Economics and Politics, re-
ceived her A.B. degree from Earl-
ham College in 1939 and her M.A.
from the Fletcher School of Law
and Diplomacy in 1940. The sub-
ject of her thesis is Repatriation
of Prisoners of War.

At the outbreak of the war, said
Mr. Cowan, there were in_ this
country only 50 students of Japan-
ese and of Malay, and none of
Burmese.

The aim of the American Coun-
cil of Learned Societies is ulti-
mately to produce implementation
in American scholarship in lan-
guages. The immediate aim is to
give service in the war effort. An
intensive language program is be-
ing planned in cooperation with
the government to train officers.
and men in languages.

Compromise Plan

The undergraduate body has voted against the adoption of a
new wardening system for a trial period. A return to the present
system remains as the only alternative, leaving the problem of its
inefficiency still unsolved.

The students have objected to the new plan on the grounds of
its greater inefficiency. It has been found that on an average night,
the majority of the sixty-five people who signed out, returned by
11:30. A central office would in’this case be necessarily inconveni-
ent and would entail difficulties in escorting large numbers of stu-
dents to their halls. The students have suggested allowing under-
graduates to volunteer as wardens. We agree with the administra-
tion in refusing to condone such a plan because we feel that the
college should not in any way give its approval to a system which
might impair the academic work done by the student body.

We offer a compromise. Since the majority of students sign
out for places on the Main Line, doors should be left open until
11:30. On week nights, anyone who stays out past 11:30 will
report to the central office in Taylor. On Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday nights, when there are a greater number of late permissions,
there will be regular wardens in each hall.

Such a plan embodies the advantages of both systems. It does

ject. It will no longer be necessary for the seven wardens to stay
up seven nights a week. The plan should prove satisfactory to both
students and wardens,



Labor and Inflation

There are three possible approaches to labor’s wage demands
in certain industries. One is represented by certain employer groups
who want to freeze all wages because they contend that wage in-
creases will-cause inflation. The second approach is personified by
John L, Lewis, whose solution is the strike. The third viewpoint
is held by the CIO-AFL leadership, which asks for a “wage ceiling
commensurate with the actual rise in the cost of living.”

Labor is unconditionally opposed to inflation. Labor has from
the very beginning supported President Roosevelt’s 7-point anti-
inflation program, which the President presented to the nation in a
radio speech in which he emphasized the fact that all parts of the
program were interdependent. In its support of the President’s
program, the labor press continually stressed this interdependence.
The $25,000 salary limitation has been nullified by Congress, price
ceilings are not over-all and some that have been applied are being
revised upward due to pressure from business groups, and rationing
is not sufficiently comprehensive. The groups which fight so ener-
getically against the salary limitation and for higher price ceilings
are the very same ones who are in the forefront of the movement
to freeze wages. There is obviously an inconsistency here if the
aim is to stop inflation.

John L. Lewis’ dangerous strike threat is receiving-"p support
from responsible labor, which has pledged not to strike for the
duration. Lewis’s policy is part and parcel of his disinterest in
winning the war and his wild anti-Roosevelt feeling. He bases his
action on the theory that inflation is the inevitable accompaniment
of war. He therefore suggests the dissolution of the WPB and
the OPA.and advocates reckless competition between prices and
“wages. ” This incorrect policy is as dangerous as it is unconstructive.

We must clearly understand, however, that Lewis is exploiting
the just demands of the miners, who have been hard hit by rising

liying costs. To ignore these demands is to strengthen Lewis and

Self-Gov President Explains

Its Decision on Wardening
Problem



To the Editor of the College News:

Some explanation séems™to~-be-
necessary in order that the circum-
stances concerning: the recent is-
sue of a new wardening system
be made more clear. - Since I feel |
personally responsible to a con- |
siderable extent for the confusion,
I would like to attempt such an
explanation. |

The plan was mentioned several
times and presented to the Presi-
dent of the Self-Government As-
sociation. with the understanding
that she would talk with the Board
about it. It was brought up at a
meeting, but it was not thoroughly
discussed. The objections of the
members of the Board were éssen-



they heard of the plan. These
were reported, and they were an-
swered; but in talking with the
Administration they were fairly
conclusively waived by the Presi-
dent of Self-Government. When
she agreed that the plan should be
tried, it was on her own personal
opinion rather than that of the
Board. There was not adequate |
consideration of the attitude or
opinion of the members of College
as a whole.

The Administration has_ been
criticized for imposing something
upon the students in which they
had no voice. This was~not the
case. The Administration acted on
what they were given to under-
stand was the assent of the stu-
dents, through the Self-Govern-
ment Board.

Self-Government has been criti-
cized because it sanctioned a meas-
ure without the real expression of
all the students. There was no real |
sanction by the Executive Board;
on the contrary, the members ex-
pressed rather firmly their dissatis-
faction. The President of Self-
Government, was asked whether the
plan would be acceptable with the
Self - Government regulations and
the mechanics of the signing-out
system. On her own opinion she
agreed that it should be tried. |
Though the proposed system of a
central warden could conceivably
make the Self-Government regula-
tions mote difficult to maintain, it
did not seem right to refuse to
give it a trial. It was a question
of taking an optimistic rather than
a pessimistic view.

It seemed that the students, al-
though immediately concerned with
the arrangement, and inconveni-
enced by it, would cooperate to
some extent. The Administration
felt that some other plan was neces-
sary to replace the present one
which they believed was logically
inefficient. The system of wardens
is the concern of the Administra-

tion, and it is their province, which
we as students find already estab-
lished when we arrive. We should
not rightly have then the final say
in the question. Approval or dis-
approval, unless terribly violent,
really should not be the decisive
factor among those who, it seems
to me, have an obligation to co-
operate. Certainly this would ap-
p!y for something which was frank-
ly proposed as a trial.

This should not be understood
as an attempt to vindicate what
was a wrong procedure. It merely
explains, I hope, the viewpoint on
which the President of Self-Gov-
ernment acted. That this would
not be the viewpoint which general
public opinion would take should
have been realized by one who was,
by._her position, a representative
of that opinion. There was also a
lamentable failure to see objec-
tions to the plan, or to realize the
validity of the inevitable criti-
cisms.
duly considered beforehand, the
Administration would not have been
led to think that there would be
adequate cooperation, and there
would not have been cause for
public opinion to be aroused to
indignation.

Regardless of the outcome of the
voting, which now seems rather
belated, it would be most unfortu-
nate if criticism should be directed
unfairly against the Administra-
tion or against the members of the
Self-Government Board.



FRANCES MATTHAI.

the forces he represents on the political front.

Perhaps if they had been:



Fortunately, there is a third alternative presented by the CIO
and AFL. The first plank of this platform is, of course, complete
adoption of the 7-point anti-inflation program. This proposal has
been obstructed and defeated in part. Meanwhile, labor is con-
fronted by a situation in which living costs have risen 22 per cent
since January, 1941 (and are still rising), and in which the War
Labor Board has restricted wage increases to 15 per cent above the
January, 1941, level under the “Little Steel formula.” The CIO
and AFL have charged that the WLB is violating the National
Stabilization Act, by which wages are to be kept in line with living
costs. Both sections of organized labor have called for an upward
revision of the “Little Steel” limit to meet the actual rise in living
costs. In order to prevent the need for continual revision of the
limit, they have coupled this demand with an insistence on all-over
stabilization of the economy. Labor is correct when it says that a
decrease in the real wage envelope of war workers is a national
concern. Workers cannot contribute their maximum effort to the
production drive while unnecessary economic hardships are added
to the expected burdens of war. -

If workers’ wages are now brought into line with the rise in
living costs, this will not solve the basic problem. -If the other forées
which make for inflation continue uncurbed, the present situation
will recur. The only solution to the problem is over-all stabiliza-
tion of the economy for the duration of the war.



One obviously befuddled glamor
girl replied no, but she want’s to
be a’: WOW, and another stoutly
maintained that she’d rather be a
wive than a WAVE, but aside
from assorted puns the answers
Of the
three distinct groups, those who
feel more or less violently negative

toward the idea, those who haven’t
considered it as a possibility, and
those who are pondering the idea,
the latter seem to be in the major-
ity, although comments on the sub-
ject were decidedly on the frivo-
lous side.

The opposition to joining some
such much-publicized branch of
the service apparently is based up-
on definite opinions that the life
would be dull routine, or the de-
sire not to be regimented and tied
down, or the fear of getting stuck
in a rut for the duration and not
being able to get out if they dis-
liked it. One stated positively:
“All this uniform and_ saluting
business is the bunk.”

It is indeed around the question
of the uniform that most of the in-
terest seems to center on the sur-
face. Some consider the uniforms
glamorous, some consider them ug-
ly, but all consider them. One girl
declared it would be a blight on
her youth to wear nothing but a
uniform. A Chemistry major as-
serted vigorously that she wants
to be a WAAF because “Their uni-
form is blue jeans and that’s what
college has prepared me for.”. But
she added, “They say there are
only 100 women in the U. S. with
the qualifications to wear the uni-
form and I want to be one of
them!”

A number of students would be
considering it seriously if they
weren’t so busy seriously consider-
ing getting married, we discovered,
and a far larger number are play-
fully toying with the idea as some-
thing to do after college. The fact
that the WAVES pay higher sal-
aries has a positive valence for
quite a few, but the vast majority
of those who are thinking about
going into one of the branches of
the service are doing it because it
is the direct way to do something
in the war without previous spe-
cial training. Second to this comes
the appeal of a4 uniform, and final-
ly, the desire was expressed by
many to join the WAACS in or-
der to go overseas.

Responses to the question even
included such novel aspects as
“The WAVES, of course—I like
water!” and “I long to be regi-
mented and told what to do. Think-
ing is so painful.” In all, we can
say that there are more than a
few prospective uniform-wearers
on campus, with a multitude of
widely differing motives, but un-
derlain by the niain one of patriot-
ism, for all their flippancy. :

Elizabethan they naturally car-
ried the idea of supernatural pow-
er, but for a modern audience they
must be handled by suggestion.
This Miss Webster accomplished
by the use of the witches’ shad-
ows and a weird sound to empha-
size their dreamlike qualities.

The costuming of a Shakespeare
play should endeavor to make the
characters seem real. For this
reason many plays have been done
in modern dress, but Miss Webster
considers this unnecessary. Thus
King Lear is costumed to repre-
sent its primitive savagery, while
Cymbeline, although of the same
period, calls for the warmth of the
Renaissance.

Miss Webster felt that Shakes-
peare should be studied in these
times particularly because his wis-
dom comes from a philosophy of
peace. “Any of us, nations or in-
dividuals, can find ourselves mir-
rored and magically transfigured
in him whose range seems to tran-
scend all of us.”

‘Owl-Rosemont Game
Tied in Final Seconds



Bryn Mawr, March 20.—Bryn
Mawr wound up its basketball sea-
son, tying Rosemont 24-24, in a
contest that reached its climax in
the final seconds of the game. The
Owls, fighting to stave off impend-
ing defeat, staged another of their
spectacular last-minute rallies.
They dropped in the tying basket in
the last seconds of play as pande-
monium broke loose.

Bryn Mawr stepped out in the
first quarter to take an 8-4 lead.
But the Owls were soon slowed
down by an aggressive Rosemont
six. When the Owls began to show
they were tiring, Rosemont surged
ahead to close the gap and held a
decided advantage at the end o
the third period. :

Spurred into action by their
losses, the Owls then threw in one
good shot after another, and with
a few seconds left to go, trailed by
only two points. The Bryn Mawr
guards passed up the ball and the
forwards rushed in under the bas-
ket for several toss-ups that nar-
rowly missed their mark. Still
holding the ball, they took advan-
tage of their last chance to score.
Marnie Kirk let go with a per-
fectly directed shot that dropped
in as the final whistle sounded.

The Reserves, in their game,
slipped behind Rosemont’s second
team and went down to a 22-13

defeat.

Goodhart, March 15. — Ata

| for late permission, discussed some
|of the aspects of the new warden-
ing system, and mentioned the

| 2—-Permission no longer needed |
|for 12:15 late return.
38—One hour permission instead |
of % hour after all college enter- |
tainments. |
A problem that is “not so me-}
chanical,’ Franny said, is the fact |
that people are taking books out of ,
{the reserve room without signing |
for them and are keeping them. |
She stated that reserve room priv- |
|ileges would have to be consider- |
| ably modified unless students as-
sumed more responsibility in the
matter. .
. The new wardening system was
discussed, with discussion from
the floor.





Development of Man



Discussed by Klopfer.



|

Common Room, March 21. sich

Speaking before a small group |
of faculty and students, Dr. Bruno!
Klopfer expressed his belief that
there is a connection between the
degree and development of the in- |
dividual personality and the degree
and development of a social order.
Groups of people with a low per-|
sonality combine to form a primi-
tive group, he said, where the,
“whole thinking process is a col-|
lective rather than an individual
process,” while higher type of per-
sonality developments will combine
to form a democracy.

Dr. Klopfer, who is director of
the Roshark Institute and _ has;
worked under Jung, left Germany
in 1933. He feels that psychology
only “nibbles at the corners of the
problem” of the relation of the in-
dividual development to the demo-
cratic social structure, but that it
is so important that “even if we
stutter we should talk about it.”

“Everything we do today has an

bly, setting forth the task and at-
titude of the forum in her opening

The Polish ambassador, Jan

The scientific way of measuring
attitudes, like the Gallop Poll, is
important, he said, but just as a
thermometer gives no clue to a
disease, one needs more’than a
technical approach. Experiments
such as Dr. Lippett performed by
creating an atmosphere and study-
ing its effect on the individual are
important, but another approach
is needed in order to understand
the social functions and meanings
of a whole country.

In studying the individual, Dr.
Klopfer finds parallels in the so-
cial structure of a country. In
Fascism he sees a reversion to the
primitive system of the individual’s
complete submission in the group,
while in a democracy he sees people
who respect the rights of other
individuals. ‘You cannot,’ he said
also, “take anyone else as :your
yardstick” to measure what you
should or should not do. That
yardstick must be within the per-
son himself.
