U. S. Can Stop
War In Europe
Asserts H. Witt
Speaker Accuses
America of Desiring
To Become World Dictator
Rhoads, April 26.—The only way
to end the war is to stop its spread,
said Herbert Witt, Executive Sec-
retary of the A. S. U., in speaking
to the Bryn Mawr chapter. The
United States by herself, he con-
tinued, could establish peace almost
immediately.
If America cuts off her arma-
ment trade with England and an-
nources peace.as her motive, all
other neutrals will adopt her pol-
icy. Sweden,' Belgium, Holland,
the Balkans, Italy and the Soviet
Union would form a-ring of neu-
trals around the belligerents. Eng-
land and Germany, forced to fight
each other in a restricted area,
would then be stalemated and the
war would of necessity cease.
While the ensuing peace might
not be permanent, neither would
be the peace made at the end of a
continued war if there prevailed
at the peace conference the attitude

Resurrected Play Succeeds
By Janet Meyer, ’42
The production of Bartholomew
Fair on Tuesday afternoon proved
its resurrection thoroughly justi-
fied, ‘and premature condemnation
unnecessary. The informality of
an outdoor performance did not de-
tract from the interest, and the au-
dience scattered through the dell
was enthusiastic.
The play, although complicated
as to plot, was not as “devoid of
glamour”: as Eleanor Emery, '40,
suggested in the Prologue. The ac-
tion centered around Justice Over-
do, but was so presented that it
gave ample opportunity for many
character parts.
The play began with a shortl ii olf,
scene in which the “sweet buds of
gentility” sought a moral basis for
their irreligious, desire to. eat
“pork-like pig’? at the country fair.
With the fair as background, there
followed expressions of hilarious
gaiety and the development of the
enormities wh'‘ch Justice Overdo
found so irresistible.
Mary Alice Sturdevant, ’40, as
Humphrey Waspe, did well with an
unwieldy part. As a contrast to
wet
‘Garnett,
this forbidding figure there was
the l'ght-hearted, unpuritanical
Win Littlewit, played by - Marion
Kirk, ’40, who effectively threw
moral standards to the winds in
one of the most amusing _— of
the play.
Susan Miller, 40, really seemed
to suffer from the sins of the fair-
goers, and expressed herself with
an impressive dabbling of Latin,
adapted from her friend, Horace.
Julie Follansbee, ’41, concealing
herself in the garb of Urs’la, a
pig woman, was an enormity inj]
every sense of the word. Her act-
ing was positively colossal.
Natalie Bell, ’43, was coyness
while Madge Daly, ’42
swept around the stage alarmingly
and ,with professional. assurance.
Joan Tash, the gingerbread
woman, was played by Caroline
’40,-and every time she
blossomed forth from behind her
booth, hilarity was increased.
Eleanor Emery, '40, besides be-
ing a stimulant to the play itself,
was the power behind its produc-
tion. Vivi French, ’42, and Pennell

Geologists Mingle Murder With Minerals. .
To Make Field Trip Memorable Success
By Agnes Mason,,’42
A group of “would be” or ‘‘re-
geologists spent the
greater part of last weekend in a
couple of Greyhound buses ana,
owing to the innate. and beautiful
geologic spirit prevailing, an hil-
arious time was had by all. -As a
member of the group we hold that
this spirit was maintained by the
professoriate whose intelligence,
wit, and congeniality it would be
presumptuous to discuss, by a com-
mendable sufficiency of food and
drink, and by the benevolence of
the elements. .
Generally speaking we traveled
north and slightly west, imbibing
lithology and topography as best
we could and trying vainly to keep
our sense of direction and of an-
ticlines and synclines. The great-
est joy of the excursion, however,
was that no notes had to be taken
as the department issued type-
written volumes.
Bus. riding was enlivened by gos-
siping, singing, and plotting future
means of amusement, while we
spent lunch hour acquiring sun-
burn and dancing polkas (Berry-
man and Bell and Pancoast and
Hughes being the chief addicts).
Stroudsburg offered a _ bar at-
tached to the hotel, as well as the
company of a group of five Prince-
ton geologists. Discussing geologi-
cal problems with the well informed
male mind naturally proved edify-
ing, of next morning there en-
sued cd-educational: fossil hunting.
Miss Barroll and her roommate
tried to cause a little excitement
by planning a murder. When the
phone rang at seven to awake them
Miss. Barroll answered cheerily.
Her friend promptly banged her
hairbrush loudly on the metal
drawer of the desk simulating the
explosion of a gun. Miss Barroll
let the receiver drop to the blotter
and groaned. No notice was taken
by the authorities and we question
the efficiency of the hotel.
Tamaqua, situated in the Ta-
maqua syncline. and inclosed by the
Pocono saitdstone, is bathed in coal
dust. Here we found two “mortu-
aries” in one block, a bowling alley,
decorated in .pink and blue, two
movie houses and several “ice
cream parlors.” The people were
interested in us ‘and we in them.
Sunday we visited, notably, a
coal stripping, and a lost cave, but
the highlight of the day was lunch
at “Uncle Charlie’s.” Uncle Char-
lie proved to be a. veteran of the
theatre, So a common bond was im-
mediately struck between him and
Miss Horton. “He regaled us with
songs and monologues, gave some
advice for those who aspire to the
stage, and posed twice for his pic-
ture. And so home. The last
sweet memory of the trip was Mr.
Dryden’s statement that there
would be no class on Monday nor
any conference on Tuesday.

expressed recently by Mr. Alfred
Duff Cooper, that Great Britain
was conducting the war no longer
against Hitlerism alone, but
against the whole German people.
England, said Mr. Witt, is not
waging a war for democracy, but
for imperialism. The war is not
in the interests of the British peo-
ple, but of the governing and
monied “classes. During the war
these classes stand to lose some of
Great Britain’s profitable colonies,
notably India, where the Indian
People’s movement is organizing a
bloodless revolution against British
domination and is-. preparing to
demand her independence.
It must not be forgotten, said
Mr. Witt, that the United States
in her attitude towards the war is
influenced by her own war aims.
Neither Mr. Dewey nor President
Roosevelt wants peace, for they are
both influenced by these aims.
America, as well as Great Britain
and Germany, is in a sense an em-
pire.. The United States emerged
from the last war the greatest
creditor nation in the world. She
is now looking forward to being at
the end of this war, the greatest
single force in the world, not only
economically and morally, but also
politically. If she obtains this po-
sition she will be able to dictate to
the world the policies it must fol-

for her honors paper. After ‘tak-
ing her A.B., Miss Burroughs plans
to do graduate work.
When asked if she had always
planned to major in Mathematics,
Miss Burroughs said, “Before,,I
came to college, I always had a
vague idea of majoring in a labo-
ratory science. Freshman year I
planned to’take German and get
it off my list of requireds, but Miss
Ward suggested freshman Math.
And after that veer I knew I
would major in it.’
Early this March, Miss Bur-
roughs, along with Marie Wurster,
entered the William Lowell Put-
nam Mathematical Competition,
conducted by the Mathematics As-
sociation of America, the winner
of which will be awarded a scholar-
ship at Radcliffe or Harvard. The
results are not yet known. “But
said Miss Burroughs, “I don’t
think I have any chances at all in
it. The problems were harder than
they had been any other year.”
Miss Burroughs belongs. to the
International Relations Club and
to the Science Club, “a passive
member of both,” she claims. In
her spare time, she collects stamps,
and in the summer, does garden-
ing .oceasionally. ‘“That’s not a
hobby, though,” -Miss Burroughs
said. “I get a guilty conscience
and do some.”
Martha Kent, ~-co-winner of the
Charles Hinchman _ scholarship,
was selected on the basis of a paper
written for Mr. Weiss’ Man and
Society class and later read to
the Philosophy Club. The subject
of Miss Kent’s paper was The
Metaphysics of the Artist and, ac-
cording to Mr. Weiss, displayed
“remarkable maturity of thought.
Next year Miss Kent, plans to
do honors work in. metaphysics
under the direction of Mr. Weiss.
She will also take Mr. Veltman’s
course in the Philosophy -of Sci-
ence and do some work in second
year. biology. Miss Kent, who has
at various times considered the
possibility of majoring in chemis-
try or English, may combine these
interests after college by attending
medical school and writing poetry
for relaxation.
Miss Kent has participated in
numerous extra-curricular activi-
ties this year. She has been a con-
tributor to as well as a staff mem-
ber of the Lantern. Besides this
she has done considerable work in
the Americanization branch of the
Bryn Mawr League, joined the

ing the federal government in their

~How America got the news of |
Norway’s Benedict Arnolds
N MONDAY EVENING, April 8, Leland
Stowe—correspondent for the Chicago
Daily News and its syndicate—sat in
Oslo’s Grand Hotel talking idly about
Europe’s dormant war.
No guns rumbled nearer than the Sylt.
The good burghers of Oslo were safe in
their beds.
> At half past midnight the city heard a
noise liké a thousand angry motorists
stalled in a traffic jam—the raucous bel-
“lowing of air raid sirens.
At 7:45 the next morning, Stowe and
his colleagues, Edmund Stevens of the
Christian Science Monitor and Warren
Irvin of .N. B. C., watched Nazi bombers
roar oyer the trim Norwegian housetops
—not in sky-darkening swarms, but by twos
and threes. No bombs fell. Scarcely a shot
was fired.
> By 2 in the afternoon, the incredible
had happened. The tramp of Nazi boots
was echoing through Oslo streets. The
conquerors, marching by threes, made the
thin gray column look longer. People
gaped like yokels on the Fourth of July |
at the spectacle of 1500 Germans taking
possession of a city of 256,000—a handful
of invaders so sure of easy conquest that
they had a brass band!
Was this an instance of awesome Nazi
might?...of a little neutral’s pathetic un-
preparedness? To the keen mind of Lefnd
Stowe, sharpened by experience with Eu-
ropean intrigue, familiar with Oslo’s de-
fenses, the thing didn’t make sense.

that little good can be done by us

We agree with Dr. Jessup that America’s contribution to the present
world conflict should be, as far as possible,
“intelligence, imparti-
ality and a demonstration of the democratic way of life.”
As Dr. Jessup pointed out,
not only the organizations of a
democracy but even the spirit of a democracy seems doomed in war.

If we are to stay neutral, the question of allowing any trade

Cessation of present

Our sympathies lie with the British and if they
win, although no democratic peace will be declared, a return to
democratic principles willbe easier.
So far as we are not involved
in the war it is to our interest as a democracy to favor England;
but our sympathies do not warrant war to save England’s empire
and, therefore, we stand against sending loans or men to her aid.
The only positive position we see at present is that of estab-
lishing principles of peace on this continent by cooperating among
ourselves through such organizations as the Pan-American Con-
gress, by educating our people to understand a low tariff policy
and by remaining free of war emotions.

Opinion
Graduates Want to Compete
In Archery, Tennis Games
With Undergraduates
To the Editor of the College News:
The graduate students were de-
lighted with your recent editorial
in which you _ stressed the im-
portance of the three groups, un-
dergraduates, alumnae, and gradu-
ates. Many of the graduate stu-
dents, being recent undergraduates |f
themselves, frequently miss the ex-
tra-curricular activities.
For the past three years, the
President of the Undergraduate
Association and the President of
the Bryn Mawr League have been
invited to dinner in Radnor, after
which they have described the
various clubs. Theoretically the
graduate students are invited to
join any~of the-campus clubs, and
several do. belong to the League,
the. choir, the A. S. U.,-and the
Philosophy and International Re-
lations Clubs: The graduates are
also represented on the College
Council, the Peace Council, and the
Entertainment Committee. But
there are some groups to which
none of the graduates belong. Per-
haps next fall these organizations
might send a note to the graduates:
inviting them to join.
An increasing number of under-
graduates --attended. the Radnor
‘Wednesday afternoon teas, which
are given throughout the winter
months. The entire campus is’in-
vited, and it is an ideal way to
meet other students.
Perhaps one of the best ways of
bringing the two groups together
is in intra-mural sports. The Ww
dergraduate basketball team migh
challenge the graduates to a game
towards the-end of the winter sea-
son, With tennis in full swing,
the Radnor champion might take
on the undergraduate star in an in-
formal ‘match. (We stress the
casual aspect, for we are great
admirers of Chris’ fine game!)
Archery has had such a boom that
mixed undergraduate and gradu-
ate teams could have a short tour-
nament some evening after dinner.
These are some suggestions at
ruinous prices; millions, including
many young people, were unable to
find work; abominable housing con-
ditions were prevelant in many
areas. Turning now to ’40, we see
great changes in these conditions.
Labor has been given the right of
collective bargaining by the Wag-
ner act, opening the ‘way ‘for
higher standards of living and in-
creasing economic stability... Busi-
ness has been stimulated by loans
from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. The Securities and
Exchange. Commission protects in-
vestors against swindlers. Crop
control, agricultural subsidies,
and_agricultural planning aid the
farmer. Good clothing and shelter
have been provided for the needy.
The Social Security Act, with its
provisions for helping the old and
the unemployed, has started a wide-
spread reform of conditions which
are unavoidable, but which may
be alleviated... Conservation — of
the energies, well-being, and morale
of youth followed the foundation
of CCC camps. The NYA has
benefited many more young peopie
by giving them opportunity to en-
gage in activities of their choice ~
and to earn money.
In the field of foreign affairs,
the present administration has
acted with admirable wisdom and
foresight. The good neighbor pol-
icy- has been substituted for dollar
diplomacy to improve our relations
with Latin-American countries.
Our foreign trade has been boosted
by the Reciprocal Trade Agree-
ments made with many” foreign
nations. Our neutrality has been
maintained and any entanglement
in Spain, China, or Central Eu-
‘rope has been avoided.

College Placement Bureaus
Give Students Experience
In Finding Jobs
The College Placement Bureau
has become a vital necessity in
men’s universities. Aside from
those heading for graduate schools,
the problem of future jobs often
seems insoluble. The object of the
Placement Bureaus is to make the
upperclassmen who want jobs im-
mediately conscious of the task
ahead and to prepare them to meet
it in an effective way.
In Princeton, as well as in Wil-
liams and other universities, the
Bureau of Appointments seeks to
work out with the undergraduate
a three-point program, The aim
of this program is to help the stu-
dent find the-vocation for which
he is best suited, to stimulate per-
sonal initiative along job-seeking
lines, and to act as a middleman in
arranging interviews between the
* undergraduate and his potential
employer. The Bureau, however, -.
does not give jobs.
The work of the .Placement
Bufeau begins in most cases when
the student becomes a junior in
college. Then the Bureau urges
him to find practical experience in

undergraduate is more able to un-
derstand the work which he feels
he. would like to-do.

tical. At least the games would be

PUBLIC OPINION —
Axon Offers Corrections
To Conference Report
To the Editor of the College News:
a) I should like to make several
corrections in the article on the
six-college conference which ap-
peared in last week’s news:
b) In the first place;
Bryn Mawr is not the only place
in which student goverhment is in
the hands of students alone, and
even in the colleges where faculty
siton the student councils they do
not, for the most part, deal with
infringements of social regulations.
\. Moreover, Bryn Mawr is one of
several colleges who _do not use
the honor system on examinations;
in two colleges where the honor
system is in general use, it is not
extended to examinations.
Bryn Mawr was not necessarily
the' most successful in raising
funds. Our average individual
-contributions to the . drive were
larger than some others, but our
Activities Drive included things
which in other colleges came under
a Blanket Tax, or were paid for
by Activities Fees included in the
tuition.
have both raised their tuition,
which now covers expenses of large
student organizations, but con-
tributions to charity are not in-
cluded in either place, and so must
have separate drives. ©
Of the places who use a blanket
tax, Mt. Holyoke was the only one
dissatisfied with the system. Even
there it was being dropped mainly
because of opposition from the ad-
ministration, -which-opposition had
existed even before it was begun.
Vassar, Wellesley, and - Mt.
Holyoke are members of the Na-
tional Students’ Federation of
America.
It was not decided that college
newspapers had better not be cov-
ered by the blanket tax. This is
done in four of the seven colleges
represented at the conference, and
all four thought the arrangement
desirable.
c) Finally, and most important,
the council is not a permanent
body, and has no legislative or
executive powers in itself. There-
fore it does ‘not “decide” upon
solutions to the problems it con-
siders. It is purely a discussion
group, in which individual stu-
dent presidents can exchange
ideas and suggestions.
Sincerely yours,
ANNE LOUISE AXON’
A Chapel and Daily Services
Needed'to Help Waverers
Discover Faith
I think that the present genera-
tions of this highly mechanized age
have been growing farther and
farther away from the acceptance
of God’s will as the motivating
power in our lives. Youth as a
whole is more actively interested
today in the world about‘us than it
has been in past generations, more
open in frank admissions of the
lamentable conditions in the social
system, and more earnest: in efforts
for their amelioration. Yet, in
spite of this, it seems to me that
we rely too much in our thinking
and planning upon the powers of
our own brains. I do. not mean to
say that we should exercise the
capacities of our minds to any
lesser extent, but that we should
strengthen and add to our own
powers. é
Believing then that an active
faith is necessary, I suggest that
there should be more, opportuni-
ties for religious growth. College
is one of the best places-to make
them. It is a kind of link between
two lives—the carefully supervised
family life, where proper -child-
hood—development=is* the central
question, where there is likely to be
a firm foundation of the family re-
ligion in which the unfolding mind
can root itself—and, after college,
the mature life, where we have to
~ “get* upon our convictions which

are by then formed and relatively
unsusceptible to change. In col-
lege,’ where much attention is wale
to scientific approach and _ rea-
soning; many . become agfiostics.
Those of us without alred@¥ strong
religious convictions may be, if
not provided with an opportunity
to form them, led to a disbelief in
the family religion once unquestion-
ingly accepted. Or, if science has
not so great an influence, we do
not think at all about what we
believe and drift aimlessly in a
sea of unpattered intellectual pur-
suits and immediate material de-
sires. We lack the guiding ateadi~)
ness of a faith to steer us through)
this. transition from a protected |
life to one of our own choice and
making. College in itself is a kind
of artificial, self-centered exist-
ence where we. are concentrated
for the present upon our own de-
velopment. In doing so we tend
to ignore certain of the very real
conditions outside of our intellec-
tual. world.
I do not at all advocate a com-
pulsory’ religious program at. col-
lege. I think that coercion défeats
its “own purpose, for only freely
made decisions are real _ ones.
Those who can already reach God|
find sources of courage, strength,
and happiness. -Why should we not
all know them? Our need is to be
shown the open doors. There are
few who accept the bounties life
has to offer without some grateful
feeling. But many of us never
think of directing that feeling to
the Author of our happiness. -I
believe, however, that during a re-
ligious service, if not at other
times, most people feel moved to
some kind of thanksgiving. At
Bryn Mawr we have not even a
special place for services, a chapel
which, being associated only with
worship, fills us as we enter with a
sense of stepping into a sanctuary.
And the services we have are not
regular. I should like a non-com-
pulsory morning chapel service
from eight-thirty to nine o’clock.
Life is so’ much fuller when the
day is begun in an attitude of
prayer and thanksgiving. ‘And
‘happiness is very contagious.
Of course, I am _ strongly in
favor of continuing our Sunday, portunities here at Bryn Mawr.
evening services; speakers from
outside bring to us who are rela-
tively isolated new insights an@
ideas and strengthen those which
we have already. But I should
like ‘‘Chapel” every week. . Since
it would not be possible to have
speakers for all the services we
could have a simple program of
silent prayer, a few hymns, and]
readings carried on by ourselves,
a service cut out in the pattern of
the very meaningful, non-sectarian
“Round Top” meetings at the
Perhaps the irregular occur-
ence of our chapels is due to the
knowledge that so few come when
we do have speakers. But the fact
that there are few who attend
shows that there is a definite need
(that is, if we believe in having
a vital religion) for people to want
to come to religious services. For
although many of us stay away to
study; still, if we really wanted to
come we could rearrange our pro-
gram of work. Of course, many
go to church every Sunday. That
is fine. But many of-us, who have
not found a faith, have not the in-
centive to get up early and then

it is for these of us I speak—not

team 5-3. Spring

suffered from lack of outdoor prac;
tice.
Waples, ’42, lost the first singles

Both girls. hit hard deep shots,
concentrating their drives on each
other’s backhand. While Waples,
by mixing her drives with drop-
shots, won many exchanges, she
hit the ball out at the crucial mo-
ments and lost 6-1, 1-6, 5-7.
The second singles were won by
Auchincloss, ’40, who defeated
Tomlinson 6-3, 6-2. Auchincloss’
cannon-ball drives landed far into
the corners of the court for con-
sistent wins. She not only out-
steadied Swarthmore in their deep
court rallies, but also made many
placements from the net.
Walton, ’42, at third singles, al-
though suffering from a sprained
ankle, turned in a very creditable
performance which is not indicated
by the score. Nicholson defeated
her 6-2, 6-1, but the games were
marked by long rallies.
Auchincloss and Waples won the
first doubles 6-2, 2-6, 6-3. After
winning the first set easily on. ac-
curate placements, they played
wildly in the second, but with con-

According to the latest reports,
Germany has been successful in
taking the salient points in the
North. Thus Italy’s position is the
most crucial in Europe. If Musso-
lini decides to act, now is the time
for him to strike in the South,
while Germany: is keeping the
enemy busy in the North. Just
what he will do is the question of
the moment. Economic gain for
Italy is certain if she remains neu-
tral, for both belligerents will try
to win her favor. Should Italy en-
ter the war on the winning side,
she would probably gain absolute
control of the Mediterranean and
considerable added prestige. Mus-
solini, who has always liked to re-
gard himself as a man of destiny,
will have to choose between certain
and uncertain rewards.
Greatest interest of the week
was centered about the Ribbentrop
meeting, a perfect example of pro-
pagandist methods. A German
White Paper was produced, charg-
ing deep-laid plans for invading
Scandinavia to the British and
French-governments. . The— docu-
ments were so obviously false that
they carried no weight. The signi-
ficance of the meeting lies in ‘the.
fact that Germany took the trouble
to justify herself. to the neutral
countries, for whom the message
was evidently intended.
An American White Book, an
unofficial document by .two Wash-
ington correspondents, has just ap-
peared. It is interesting for the
intimate picture it presents of the
way in which America’s foreign
policy has been framed during the
past few years. Emphasis is laid
on the foresight of the President
and his advisers, who were pre-
pared for the war long before it
came and under whatever condi-
tions it might break out. This is
partly due to the conditions for
communication between Washing-
ton and representatives in Europe,
which have improved greatly since
Heaton to Lecture
On Historical Muse
Dr. Herbert Heaton, Professor
of History at the University of:
Minnesota, and Visiting Professor.
of Economic History at Princeton
University, will speak on Clio in
Overalls in Goodhart Auditorium, *
at half past eight, on Tuesday
evening, May 7.
Dr. Heaton is an English scholar
who is very much interested in
economic history, especially of the
woolen industry in England. He
has been to Australia to survey
economic problems there and is
now studying the influence of Eng-
lishmen who came to this country
in the beginning of the 19th cen-
tury, bringing their English in-
dustrial and agricultural methods
‘with them.
Clio in Overalls should signify,
to the more classically minded, the
muse of history decked in her
grubbiest clothes, or, more specific-
ally, the economic side of history.
Material will be furnished by Dr.
Heaton’s numerous adventures in
research.
the last war. The Pan-American
Conference, which convened in Oc-
tober, was an example of their
preparedness. Within three weeks
after war was declared, delegates
from 21 countries were able to
meet’ and: form a policy for South
America and the United States in
approximately one week.
Much of this book may be propa-
ganda, designed to test the reaction
of the American public to war-
talk, said Miss Reid. The reader
feels throughout thé book that
pressure is being applied to make
him take the stand that we should
give the democracies as much help
as we are capable of, without send-
ing men.

As Republican Nominee

man most competent to execute
these policies. And what is more
important, once in office, his course
of action would be determined by
the platform on which he had been
elected, and he would restrict the
scope of his own authority accord-
ingly.’ His sincerity and openness
in dealing with the Amefican peo-
ple in the past are sufficient assur-
ance of this. Taf*t’s political record
has been a consistent one, and if
consistency in policy means any-
thing at all, then it is a qualifica-
tion which in itself is deserving of
highest consideration,
But a _ President cannot be
elected upon the basis of his party
platform. It is absolutely neces-
sary that he have a sufficient—an
extensive—amount of. past experi-
ence in holding public office, as
well as a great number of estab-
lished__contacts with the various
groups and units, both political and
economic, of the country. In this
respect, Taft is more fully quali-
fied—-than—an-—of—his—party—op-
ponents. He has-had the political
experienc? which Dewev ladks and
he has done more extensive work
.in the governmental field’ than
either Vandenburg or Wilkie.
And what about the war situa-
tion? Well, there is only one way
of dealing with that—the Ameri-
can way. Our country has pursued
in the past a policy which is just
as adequate in the present crisis
as it has been in any other—a
policy of peace, supplemented by a
readiness to counter-attack in the
event that any attack whatsoever
-be made on our democratic ideals
Apricot Walls and Improved Equipment
To Delight Students in New Library Wing
By Frances Lynd, °43
Lib promises a new deal for every-

The

old Lib. The history of art. stu-
dents, instead of hunting in the
dust and dimness of the present
stacks, will browse through a
world of sparkling modernity, soft-
ened only by the subtle tone of
apricot walls. Better lighting and
more capable-looking floors will
help to remedy eyestrain and uyn-
certainty underfoot.
The Art and Archaeology De-
partments, of course, will benefit
most. All the books on these sub-
jects—the 700’s—will move _ into
the new stacks, and will have a li-
brarian of their own. Room G in

ology is left unoccupied, the Clas-

ment of the old stacks, may be

The books which will live in the

advantages. Not only will they

would abide by just that policy. He
would effectively handle both do-
mestic problems and foreign prob-
lems without devoting himself ex-
clusively to one at the expense of
the other. I believe that Senator

land ERNESTINE GALLUCCI, ’41.
Faesch Suggests Hull
Or Roosevelt for 1940
Continued from Page Four
In considering these Democratic
policies, it seems appropriate to
quote two sentences referring to
the Republicans from Jim Farley’s
speech at the meeting of. the Demo-
cratic National Committee in
Washington on February 5: “It has
long been a political maxim that
in a political campaign you cannot
beat somebody with nobody. It is
equally true that you cannot beat
any program with no program.”
We feel that there are many parts
of the Democratic program which
even good Republicans must hon-
estly admit have proved their
worth and which should not by any
means be scrapped, whatever be the
outcome of the next election.
The Democrats should, by all
means, nominate a libera] candi-
date pledged to the continuation of
the New Deal program. Last year
Roosevelt said in his Jackson Day
address that the country would be
in a sorry way if it had to choose
between a Democratic Tweedledee
and a_ Republican... Tweedledum.
This year, in his message to the
Young Democrats, he changed this
simile and said ‘‘The Democratic
Party will not survive as an effec-
tive force in the nation if the
voters have to choose between a
Republican Tweedledum and a
Democratic Tweedledummer.”
At present, the two most likely
Democratic candidates appear to be
Roosevelt and Hull. In view of

Bryn Mawr Traits
Revealed in Writing
Bv Joan Gross, ’42
“Bryn Mawr girls are intellec-
tual” reported the eminent graph-
ologist, Dorothy Sara, who served
as a side attraction of the: Bonwit
Teller’s exhibit at the College Inn.
In fact, she found them too intel-
lectual. “They take themselves |
very seriously,” said Miss Sara,
“and, therefore, become intense.”
Not one Bryn Mawr girl, she added,
asked about her attitude towards
men. They were all interested in
careers. Then Miss Sara made
some half-audible remark about
debutante parties.
“They have good taste and good
judgment,” she went on, but they
pass lightly over money problems
and treat them with total disregard
and disrespect. The Bonwit Teller
lady took note. 3
The traits revealed were all
deep-seated; not one sample of}
writing had been ostentatious or|
affected. Miss Sara thought this
was pretty remarkable for a group |
of girls.
Miss Sara is the author of a
book—the most recent work on
graphology, called Reading Char-
acter from Handwriting, the only
hobby book recommended by the
public library. She first took up

Student Opinion Surveys Consider Views
Of Chost Writers and New Deal Agencies
Few Think Entire New Deal
Work Program Should
Be Abolished
Austin,.Teaxas, April 15. —
Whether | the
Republicans win the elections in
November, almost all college stu-
dents believe that there are parts
of the New Deal that should be
continued.
The Civilian Conservation Corps,
the National Youth Administra-
tion, the Works Progress Admini-
stration, and social security are
Democrats or the
collegians, it is pointed out by the
latest national sampling conducted
by the Student Opinion Surveys of
America.
Personal interviewers asked this
question of a sampling of all col-
legians in the country: “Regard-
less of which party wins the elec-
tions in November, what parts of
the New Deal do you think should
be continued?”
Of the total number of times
that different agencies were named:
C. C. C. was mentioned. 18%
N. Y. A. was mentioned. 15
W. P. A. was mentioned. 7
Social Security mentioned 7
All others mentioned .. 44
THan't KNOW
Only very few believe that the
entire New Deal program should be
discarded. Most: students men-
tioned several agencies; approval
by others covered entire fields,
such as protection of natural re-
sources, attempts to solve unerh-
ployment, etc. Opinion in differ-
ent sections of the country is re-
markably even, the survey shows,
and approval comes from students
of both Republican and Democratic
leanings.
graphology as a hobby, then turned
to it as a profession.
Most people left the College Inn
beaming over their intellectual at-
tributes. “Of course,” the Bonwit
Teller Lady put in, ‘re have to be
tactful.” a

Ingenious Excuse of More
Time for Studies Given
For Ghost Writing
Austin, Texas, April 15.—“Ghost
writing,” the practice of preparing
themes and reports for some one
else’s class work, gets a thumbs-
down expression of opinion from
three-fourths of American college
students. :
What may be more surprising to
some, however, is that the other
fourth is either indifferent or
openly in approval.
“What is your opinion of the
Writers to prepare themes and term
papers for them?” was the ques-
tion presented to a scientific cross
section from coast to coast.
Disapproving were 75 per cent;
indifferent were 10 per cent; ap-
proving were 15 per cent.
These results are ‘given below:

The chief argument of those who
favor ghost writing is that in effect
it often helps students by giving
them more time to study for more
important and pressing courses.
