Foreign Students Will Discuss
Differences Between Major
Systems



“Self-government in college is the
miracle of America.” In France
no amount.-of money will get you
into college if you haven’t the
brains. “Morals is a ‘required’ for
every Chinese student;” — these
are a few of the ideas brought out
in meetings to prepare the first
college assembly. On. Tuesday, No-
vember 11, at 10 o’clock, foreign
students, both graduate and un-
dergraduate, will discuss compara-
tive. systems of education in a
round table assembly.

Among the subjects to be dis-
cussed will be: the standard of
values each country has for edu-
cation; how this explains its par-
ticular system; liberal arts versus
specialized education; extracur-
ricular activities, and democracy
Madame Francoise
Dony, warden of Wyndham, will

generalize on each topic and then?

round table of students repre-

nting major foreign educational

The round table will be com-
posed of Grazia Avitabile, repre-

systems; Margaret Hughes, South
America; Virginia Dzung; China;
Ruth Fiesel, Germany; Royal
Keyes, Canada; Alice Laing, Scot-

Thanksgiving Vacation

Thanksgiving vacation will
be Thursday, November 20.
The experiment of a one day
vacation is being tried again
this year because it is felt
that the effects can not be
adequately ascertained. in one
year. Students must sign in
their last class before the va-
cation and in their first class
afterwards. The penalty for
not doing so will .be deferr-
ment of exams.

faculty, was sent October 31 to
President Roosevelt, Senator Con-
nally, Chairman of Senate Com-
sentative Sol Bloom, Chairman of
the House Committee on Foreign

of the faculty and staff of Bryn

'belief that the American people

Ardmore Factory Fulfills Defense Orders
For New Anti-Tank Weapon and Scout Car



The Ardmore Autocar factory,
manufacturer of Autocar trucks,
has been expanding for defense
production. Located on Lancaster

Pike, between “Ardmore and Hav- |

erford, the plant has increased its
payroll over 300 per cent since the
summer of 1940, and has received
about 30 million dollars worth of
defense orders.

Mr. Wood, the advertising man-
ager of the company, described the

various army vehicles which the,

plant is now making, said there
were about 3500-under production
or on order.
has restricted the area from which
the plant may hire employees, the
monthly _ wages.-paid- out, which
now amount to about a quarter of
- a million dollars, go to families
which have resided in the Main
Line area for at least six months.
~ « Because the articles: for defeiise
produced by the plant do not differ
essentially from its regular line,
defense orders began coming in
June, 1940. Most of them are for
half-track . vehicles, which are a
combination of a tank and a truck,
with caterpillar treads on the back
wheels and regular truck wheels in

front.

The half track scout car, de-
signed to carry scouts for what
Mr. Wood called “blitzkrieg busi-
ness,” carries two 380 calibre ma-
chine guns and one 50 calibre gun,
and can also’ pull a 155 millimeter
Howitzer. It is called M2. M3,
which evidently follows it, carries
a gun crew for the. Howitzer; it
must be able to go 50 miles an
hour over a hard road and 25 miles
an hour over open country.

“The latest anti-tank weapon,”
T12, is the-other- machine manu-
factured at the plant. It carries a
'75 millimeter rapid-fire cannon,
which has, Mr. Wood explained,
the advantage of being more mo-
bile than a field gun. T12 is also
a half-track car. :

Since trucks also are eel
in defense, the pape: has. ree

ture its regular line of trucks. Al-
though this production will be
ssomewhat reduced, the Autocar
Company is endeavoring to keep it
at as high a rate as possible. It is



at present working only two shifts,
but Mr. Wood expects a third to be
|put on soon. .

Miss Richter, in her fourth lec-

During the Lydian expansion

Greece were able to maintain com-

The island of Naxos achieved

Varsity Plays at Swarthmore

Swarthmore, November 1.—A
wet and dreary morning was the
setting for the Philadelphia Inter-
collegiate try-outs in, which seven
hockey teams of this region com-
peted. But it was a glorious day
for Bryn Mawr, for six out of the
nine Varsity players present were
chosen for the first and second
teams. This was the largest num-
ber to be chosen from one college.

What is more, four of those six
girls are first team players: Fran-

Nancy Madiner, ’44, and Chris

Hitler Attacked in Fear of
Russian Technical Advance
Says ‘Journalist



Goodhart, November 4, 8:30.—
Germany is definitely in for a win-
ter campaign, Walter Duranty
said in his lecture “What Will Rus-
sia Do Next?” “The Russians have
no reason to wilt.’”’ The morale of
the Kremlin, of the people and of
the. army is good. Industrial de-
velopment has made great strides
in the last five years and is now
60% to 80% as efficient as our
production. As long as the Soviet
can keep her armies disengaged,
she will fight on.

With the “scorched earth policy”
prevailing in the south and the
trackless woods in the north, the
Germans face formidable difficul-
ties. True, German transportation
is much better than that of the
Russians, but as the German ar-
mies close in upon the Soviet cen-
ters, the opportunity for mobility
diminishes. British night bombing
has relaxed pressure on Russia. At
the present moment there is a pos-
sibility of an English attack in
North Africa to further relieve the
Soviet. However, chances of a
successful thrust at Italy ‘are
slight, Mr. Duranty said.

There are two important ques-
tions which must be answered to
clarify the present Russian situa-
tion, Mr. Duranty pointed out. I.
‘Why did Hitler attack Russia?
The German invasion, a sudden,
unprovoked aggression, was moti-
vated principally by the realization
that Russia was progressing tech-
nically faster than expected. At
the outbreak of the Russian cam-
paign, Hitler was—getting—over—a
million tons of oil and gfain. How-
ever, he felt that, sooner or later,
he would have to secure total domi-
nation of Russia’s raw materials if
he was to combat the steady Brit-
ish resistance and the increasing
U, S..aid.

Hitler also felt that Russian op-
position would be negligible. He
believed the army to have been fa-
tally weakened by the purge possi-
bly even rendered disloyal. Mr.
Duranty stressed the fact that,
while the purge taxed the nation,
it did rid the country of traitors.
By 1941, Ryssia was “picking her-
self up” and had conquered. the
mass hysteria which prevailed dur-
ing the trials.

The second question, Mr. Du-
ranty said, is—2. How has Russia

Looking for Trouble

Yes, the Activities Drive has become an efficient and almost |
essential institution. But it may get into trouble. Despite the |
honest regard we have for it, we find that it adheres to two prin- |
ciples—two principles which are not Feally-compatible. |

It draws up a yearly budget before the drive gets under way,
allotting a fixed sum to each of the organizations to which it con-|
tributes.. And it allows its subscribers to “earmark” their contri-
butions, . |

Each contributor is led to believe that special attention will be!
given her individual preferences in the administration of the funds. |
At the same time, the recipient organizations depend on the amount
of money promised them originally. They have no guarantee, |
since there-is-no-assurance thatthe total-goat-of the-drive-will-be}
realized. But the budget, however theoretical, is drawn up before |
a single pledge is signed. And even if the goal were not met,!
everyone knows that the percentages of the total amount distributed ;
would not be altered much. |

Suppose sometime a bloc of opinion should support one cause |
at the expense of another. Suppose that 50 per cent of the under- |
graduates were to go All Out for the Theatre Workshop. isa
the Drive follow this indication of preference, or would it live up
to its obligation and support other essential needs like League |
activities? It couldn’t do both. |

The whole thing is run on the assumption that too small a
percentage of contributors» makes any special provision for the
destination of its funds. Well-meaning canvassers are apt to serve
contributors up with the even more fallacious notion that differences
of preference “cancel out.”

But if the Drive intended this ear-marking privilege as a
gesture to absorb the violent feelings of a few contributors; if
this gesture is to be discarded as soon as it conflicts with the origi-
nal budget, the Drive would be more candid to offer no prefetence |
privilege at all,

The. Activities Drive is primarily a convenient pooling of
efforts. If it wishes to assume the additional function of a poll,
it is not justified in preparing a budget in advance. If individual
opinion is to function in the Drive, it should be voiced before the
budget is drawn up, no matter how vague a commitment this budget



may be.

hensives.

of the radio chains and commentators.

America First,-Last, and Always

We came to scoff,.and we didn’t come away cheering. Ameri-
ca, First’s prophets had drawn 23,000 of the faithful to Madison
Square Garden, and the pressure was on.

First, the scene. The place was packed. LaGuardia had put
700 cops on the job. Flags covered the balconies; and every
devotee had two small ones, ong, for America and one for America

Clark took the platform, and asked the crowd to stand. We sang
“America.”

John T. Flynn, chairman, took over the meeting. With a
preliminary jeer at the ridiculous idea of “Hitler. coming over
here” (laughter from the crowd), he launched into a denunciation
The networks, he declared,

arose. The broken pledge was given a year ago that night, Flynn
said; and rallied the crowd with the declaration that the meeting
was a protest against the President’s “infamy,” and “a last stand
against the minority forces of the nation.”

John C. Cudahy followed Mr. Flynn. His. manner was not
as rhetorical; his words were deliberate. He swore a solemn oath
to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. He
told of seeing the German war machine roll, invincible, through
Belgium, and declared that war for us is equally hort A truce
should follow the Russian campaign. America, withMier tremen-
dous war-potentiality.as a threat, and the lure of her 65 millions
of gold, can go to the peace table prepared to lay aside trade
barriers and arrange intelligent terms.

This policy must be adopted, he cried. We, the common
people of America, who have never been given a hearing, speak
for youth, for “the mothers whose tears of anguish will flow in
torrents of anguish across this land,” against our government, “a
despotism more_revolting than the despotism-of Germany.”

Total uproar again when Lindbergh took the stand. Again
the blue spotlight. An epidemic of photographers, flag waving,
the band inaudible. Behind us a woman repeated, “He’s the man
for the country.” Lindbergh, not 35 feet away from us, was
genuinely surprised and stirred by the immense welcome. When
silence finally came, he began to speak,

We are being insidiously led to war. We are a people run
by the government. We cannot defeat Germany; we will not
gain by war; and our civilization cannot last through a long conflict.
Our danger is now from within, and our need is for new leadership
in Washington; that will take the American people into their con-
fidence.

The applause surged up once more, increasing as Wheeler came
forward. He assured the audience that he had “no maps in his
pockets” but'there .was bitterness in his tones. Roosevelt has
usurped dictatorial powers and has deceived the American people.
His word is no more to be trusted than Hitler’s. The peace party
must ‘now rise against the war mongers, if the cause of the common
people is not to be lost. a

It was over. There had been no heckling, no disorder. No
protest .had challenged the meeting’s. unanimity. Outside, the cops
were disappointed. “The right of free speech. The right of free
assembly. Hold them sacred and never surrender them.”

as And. Grades -

October 30, 1941

To the Editor of the COLLEGE
NEWS:

What is the purpose of numeri-

cal grades such as the college is

using under the present system?

The two possible answers which I



see are first, so that the college

may have a basis for awarding its
degrees, and second, so that the
scholarship committee may have a
basis for awarding its scholar-
ships.

What is the purpose of under-
graduate examinations? The obvi-
ous answer is so that numerical
grades may be given. Then, if
grades were not necessary; exami-



ter each professor would give each
student a grade (only accurate to
within about five points) which
would go on record nowhere, and
which would be only for the stu-
dent’s benefit. (This is for the
numerous students who claim that
they never know how well they are
meeting the standards. of the
course until they have received a
definite grade.) All students who
at this time received a grade be-
tween 55 and 65 would be required
to take an examination. Students
who passed the examination, along
with all who had received over 65,
would be given course credit, while
those who failed would receive no
credit. (The lower limit of 55 was

first team in an upset victory, 3-2. a

Three Bryn’ Mawr members of
the teams participated, Margy Per-
kins standing out for her quiet but | d
efficient work. The first team
scored two consecutive goals, the|p
first on a pass from the right for-|d
ward which narrowly missed scor-
ing, and which Miss MacConaghie
pushed in.

In the second period it was do|P
or die, and’ the Reserves “did.”
Each team seemed to feel the lack
of its regular members, and Chris
Waples’ and Frannie Matthai’s ab-
sence was noticeable, although their | ®
substitutes were very capable. fi

The judges who had divided yeés-
terday’s contestants must have
hung their heads as the game end-
ed. But it is frequently the case
that a reserve team pitted against
a first is more eager for victory,
and consequently more spirited in|}
its attack. a

Each team played as a team, al-
though each was composed of in-
dividual stars, Bryn Mawr’s shin-
ing among the brightest.

An outstanding example of this|

and she limped off the field. But
considering the rough and_slip-
pery field, it is not surprising that
their play was not up to ‘standard.
However, against Temple and
Penn, when Chris rejoined her
teammates, they woke up : and
played lively and encouraging
matches.

After a long wait in the steady
rain, the girls to compete in the
final play-offs were selected. To see
the cream of the players face each
other was really the best of the
morning. From them, the first and
second teams were chosen. Watch-
ing that ubiquitous hockey player,
Helen Resor, play an excellent de-
fense was exciting, and it is in-
teresting to note that, although
Frannie Matthai regularly plays
right inner, she will bé the right
wing of the Philadelphia Intercol-
legiate Hockey Team.

The result of these try-outs is
a tribute to Bryn Mawr’s fund of
hockey talent and ‘especially to

ing.

Duranty Comments

On Today’s Conflict



Continued from Page One

ernment for active aid to Russia, ;

he said, has been publicized in this |
country with an eye toward em-
phasizing the British need of ships.

And the Soviet Union—Mr. Du-
ranty first went to Russia in 1921
with the Hoover Food Commission.
Technical progress, he said, has in-
creased almost geometrically, since
then. “If you ever had car trouble
in some village then, nobody could
help you, except to hitch up a horse
and buggy and pull you out of the
mud. Now even the Russian girls
can take tractors apart, and put
them together again.”

Much of the tension which pre-
vailed in the USSR during the
trials has been relieved. “After
three years in prison, a young fel-
low I know,” he said, “has just
been returned. to active manage-
ment of a large industrial plant.
He’s got a more responsible job
than he had before.”

Mr. Duranty had spent five
years in America without getting



west of Philadelphia, but this sum-
mer he discovered Los aes:
“Los Angeles is wonderful. Every- |
body goes to bed so early you can
really work hard.” At this Peier-
ean fount, he turned out his new
book, The Kremlin and the People,
at the rate of 40,000 words a
month. “Which is damned good,”
said Mr. Duranty.
